There is no one path – to success or even to New York (or Kansas). Similarly, what matters to others can vary widely – so we tried to tighten up that question to focus on three key traits to see what most folks in our community valued most – intelligence, energy, or integrity?

For me, it’s acting with integrity because it reflects how aligned I am with my values and the way I move through life, which essentially builds the image people will associate with me and defines the kind of person I am. Read more>>

For me, integrity is the most important quality, especially in a business like JD Entertainment LLC. We’re trusted to be part of some of the most important moments in people’s lives — weddings, community events, and celebrations – so doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching, is non-negotiable.

Having integrity is crucial, as it implies intelligence, and its presence eliminates unnecessary energy expenditure. Integrity is highly valued by me because it showcases one’s genuine character and the principles they represent, allowing their true nature to shine through. If someone lacks integrity, they pose a danger. Trusting them is impossible, and their inconsistency wastes everyone’s energy. Read more>>

It impossible not to blend all 3 points together! I am always seeking to learn, so intelligence is a key factor for me to stay engaged and inspired. I always “feel” and “read” the energy in any situation. Is it dark and muddy? Is it light, bright, and full of potential? So energy is a constant and the ”compass” guiding my everyday life.Read more>>
