This week's Everyday Business Leader celebrates Rose Myers: I never aspired to be a martial artist, nor to own and operate a martial arts school, but God had other plans that I followed willingly. *MY* plan was earning an Environmental Engineering degree from the University of Dayton and working to protect the state of Indiana working at IDEM (Indy’s EPA). Then I was told I had a hormonal disease that prevented me from conceiving children. But God is greater than science and had bigger plans for me. After giving birth, I retired from my engineering job for this single chance of parenting my precious child. Backing up a bit, my senior year in college someone was raped by my campus house, driving me to seek training from my internship co-worker at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. After college I relocated to Indiana, entered the ATA, and began formal training. I earned my First Degree Black Belt and entered the Certified Instructor Training program in December of 1999. I earned my Instructor Certification and signed my first contract to teach in 2002, not knowing I was pregnant. After my daughter was born, I opened a taekwondo program within the Greenwood Community Center, so I could enjoy her during the day, and her dad could enjoy her at night while I taught. Many students and 3 locations later, my husband retired from his engineering career and came to work for Pilsung. ATA requires the rank of 6 th Degree Black belt and completion of an extensive program to earn the title of Master Instructor. My “covid project” was passing one of the most unique tests in ATA history and completing the year-long Mastership process in 2021. That year I was honored locally as the Center Grove Icon of the year. Last year I celebrated 25 years in the ATA and 20 years running my own program. Pilsung is the Korean word for “Personal Victory,” that sense of accomplishment after doing something worthy. I chose the name as a reminder of my goal for every student. Yes, we teach traditional martial arts, but they’re really a vehicle to deliver the truly important life skills. I have the honor an privilege of growing students in discipline, honor, respect, self-esteem, belief, and leadership. We work hard to have a positive impact on our community through their Black Belt community projects, as well as partnering with valuable organizations within the community. I strive to create better leaders to “be the change I wish to see in the world.”

Today's Everyday Business Leader is Beau Jackson,
I am a financial professional with a passion for adventure and a love for my family. My wife, Jennifer, the Head Coach for Franklin College’s Women’s Soccer team, and our two children, Atlas (3) and Skylar (2), bring joy and fulfillment to my life. Alongside them, our 15-year-old black lab, Olie, completes our happy home. Throughout my life, I have accomplished various feats. On a whim, I moved to Colorado’s San Luis Valley for a year to work on a honeybee farm. I’ve run across the clouds in the Leadville Ultra and summited Mt Rainier, having had the opportunity to watch glass grass grow within its crater. I hike, backpack, climb, swim, sand/snowboard, and most often wander. I love to run, especially on dirt trails. I’ve excelled at almost every sport I’ve played…soccer being the most revered. It’s global. And I believe life can be simplified down to what happens between four lines, two goals and a black and white ball. I believe in teamwork. When I’m not in my suit I wear superhero T’s regularly…and often believe I am one. I love people. When asked what the most important attributes a person can have, I start with the ability to listen, share, and learn. In that order. I’m a teacher, student, and philosopher whose favorite video game is TLoZ. In addition to my pursuits, I am a financial professional running a small firm that covers two-thirds of Indiana. Our firm specializes in retirement planning, life insurance, investments, and other financial services. I am extremely proud of our team within Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial. Aside from being a part of an organization that helped to raise over 44 million dollars across the country ($3.3 million here in Indiana!) and is determined to make a lasting impact within our community, we are also dedicated to helping our clients navigate the complex world of finance and make informed decisions that align with their long-term goals and aspirations. With a personalized approach, we strive to provide comprehensive solutions that address the unique needs and circumstances of each individual, couple, family, or business we serve. As a fiduciary, we prioritize the best interests of our clients and uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. Our commitment to excellence sets us apart, and we take pride in building lasting relationships based on trust and transparency I bring a diverse range of experiences and a love for sports, literature, and the arts to my life and work. Within the central Indiana region, I run a small firm that doubles as a catalyst for positive impact within the community and a resource for financial security – specializing in retirement planning, life insurance, investments, and other financial services for everyone.
You can find/connect with me on LinkedIn, Facebook, Business, and Facebook Personal.
