USANA Kids Eat

I'm excited to share that next month we're opening the doors to the brand new USANA Kids Eat food packing center.

Located next to USANA's corporate offices in Salt Lake City, the center promises to make a big impact within our community.

For those who haven't heard, several months ago the USANA Foundation acquired two local charities to help in its mission to feed hungry children — worldwide and in our own backyard.

USANA Kids Eat is a USANA Foundation initiative that strives to eliminate childhood hunger in Utah by providing food to at-risk youth. Already, the community's come together to pack food for kids to take home with them on weekends and holiday breaks.

And now, with the opening of the new facility in mid-December, we'll have a dedicated spot to better serve children in need.

Last week, USANA Kids Eat earned Mountain America Credit Union's "Pass it Along" recognition, which recognizes local nonprofits making a significant impact in the community.

I encourage you to read this What's Up, USANA? article to learn more about the USANA Kids Eat program. Keep an eye on my social media for photos and videos from the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

A Special Gift

This time of year is always special for me. It's a time to reflect on what's truly important in our lives, to give thanks and to express our gratitude.

I visited China last week to attend meetings and celebrate achievements. It proved to be an outstanding event.

One particular moment, however, stood out.

Recently, one of our top business leaders there tragically passed away. Zhang Chi was a passionate supporter of the USANA Foundation and Dr. Wentz's vision. His parents sought a way to give back in Zhang's memory.

On stage, in front of a sold-out crowd, the family generously contributed $800,000 USD from Zhang's business to establish a fund in his name. The donation will have a dramatic impact on countless lives.

I'm humbled and honored that the family chose the USANA Foundation to be a steward for carrying on Zhang's legacy. Thank you.

What I'm Reading: HBR On Emotional Intelligence

This collection of articles from Harvard Business Review discusses a topic important to me: Emotional Intelligence.

For me, emotional intelligence centers on empathy — working to understand others' emotional makeup.

I believe boosting our emotional intelligence will improve our individual productivity, as well as our personal and business relationships.

All the Right Reasons Principles

Thank you for the continued support for All the Right Reasons. As always, I'd love to hear what you think of the book.

Recently I've shared some additional insight into a few of the principles discussed in the book (these are also available on my YouTube channel):

The Holland Principle: Find opportunities to serve, then act.
The Butch O'Hare Principle: You have the power to change.
The Hope Diamond Principle: Good things come to those who are prepared.
The Piano Principle: When you really want something, make it happen.
The Ben Franklin Principle: Identify your core values and do all you can to achieve those values in your personal and professional life.
The Dorothy Principle: Simply, nothing is more important than relationships.
The Plato Principle: Surround yourself with good people. Learn from them. Have an open mind. And most importantly, be teachable.
