 <\/p>\n

BRETT: One of the areas of this audience that you and Rush appreciated are the owners and those operators of small businesses in this country. Now, in Rush\u2019s honor, you\u2019ve created the Great American Business Award, and you\u2019re taking nominations. How\u2019s the response been so far?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

KATHRYN: It\u2019s been huge. We\u2019ve received many, many nominations over these last weeks. As you mentioned in the beginning, Rush wanted to start this, actually, at the start of this year. But, unfortunately, he couldn\u2019t. So he wanted to recognize small businesses throughout the country that really make our country work, and so we\u2019re continuing it on in his honor. But the response has been quite overwhelming and wonderful at the same time.<\/p>\n

BRETT: You\u2019re gonna be recognizing another business with an award today. And before we do that, we\u2019re gonna speak with a couple of these folks. And I\u2019d like to bring one of them on right now if that\u2019s okay with you, Kathryn. Jon Cartwright is joining us from Zimmerman Meats in Summersville, Missouri<\/a><\/strong>. Welcome to the program, Jon. Good to have you here with Kathryn Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

JON: Thank you. Thank you all for having me on. It\u2019s quite an honor.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Hello, Jon. Nice speaking to you today. I know that your wife Lindsey sent in a nomination on your behalf. So if you could, tell us a little bit about your business and how you started and where it\u2019s grown over the years.<\/p>\n

\"\"JON: Sure. I\u2019d be happy to. My brother Josh and I purchased Zimmerman Meats back in 2016, and we have taken the business since 2016 — it was a meat-processing business, we had a small retail store in Summersville — and we\u2019ve gone from about 12 to 14 employees. Today, we\u2019ve done some expansion. We\u2019ve added some stores, some retail stores, and we have three locations now, three retail stores plus the processing plant in Summersville. About 40 employees is where we reside today. So that\u2019s, in a nutshell, what we have going.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: That\u2019s good. And why did you start a small business? I know that you were in corporate America and decided to leave that world and start your own. Why did you do that?<\/p>\n

JON: When I was in corporate America, I spent about nine years doing that, and I just felt like it was a job. I wasn\u2019t really making an impact. And, sure, I had a job and I had a role to do every day. But there wasn\u2019t… To see the employees that we employ and the families that we provide a living for is quite rewarding to Josh and I and our spouses.<\/p>\n

We enjoy that, and our retail stores are quite unique in that we\u2019re not interested in the stuffy, Big Retail-type settings. We\u2019re all about having a store that people are… It\u2019s more of a destination. People want to come to Zimmerman stores, because they\u2019re gonna get service with a smile. It\u2019s not a dreaded trip to the grocery store —<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Sure.<\/p>\n

JON: — and so that is so rewarding to be able to see our employees interact with our customers and do it in a manner that you don\u2019t see in large, corporate retail establishments. We don\u2019t have self-checkouts. We don\u2019t have stuff like that. We have friendly faces that our customers can come in and see day in and day out, and that\u2019s quite rewarding for us.<\/p>\n

BRETT: I understand, sir, that you were so inspired by Rush to go out and get a piece of the pie that you have four children ages two to nine and that the youngest is named Rush Henry Cartwright. Is that true?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JON: Yes, sir. That is correct. My wife and I both are huge Rush fans and were Rush Babies growing up and have listened to him all of our lives, and he\u2019s had such a profound impact on our lives. And his love for this country and his listeners was like none that I can explain. But the love that we felt from Rush… We never knew him personally, but we knew he loved his listeners and he most definitely loved this country. And, yes, our youngest is 2 years old — we have four children — and we did name him after Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Amazing. Kathryn, this is an amazing story.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Yes.<\/p>\n

BRETT: We want to wish you good luck on this, Jon. Stick around. We\u2019ve gonna have the reveal coming up here shortly.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

BRETT: And I\u2019m thrilled to be here today with Kathryn Limbaugh as we are visiting with some of the Great American Business Award finalists joining us here on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Kathryn, we were visiting with Jon Cartwright from Zimmerman Meats in Summersville, Missouri, when we ran up against that hard break and we\u2019ve held Jon over on the program to continue the conversation. Kathryn, I know you wanted to ask him a question.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Yes, Jon, it\u2019s incredible that you named your son after Rush, and I know he\u2019s smiling, thinking about that right now. But I wanted to ask you just a little bit more about your business —<\/p>\n

JON: Sure.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: — in terms of how you started and what you might have encountered in challenges. Because your wife wrote a quote that said, “I\u2019m so proud of my husband for not listening to the naysayers that told him he can\u2019t do it.” What would you say about the challenges that you faced starting a small business?<\/p>\n

JON: It\u2019s a big risk. It\u2019s a leap. I left corporate America and had a very good wage. I was providing for my family, and we went from that to, essentially, we didn\u2019t know. It was a world of unknown. So there\u2019s a lot of people that are sitting in corporate America today that are thinking about taking that step, but it\u2019s hard. It\u2019s very hard.<\/p>\n

So when she mentioned the naysayers. We have a lot of people in our life that would have said, “No, don\u2019t leave a safe job to go on this journey,” but it has been such a blessing to our families and to our employees. As far as the problems — and, you know, there\u2019s a lot of — it\u2019s not an 8-to-5 job — you know, where my brother and I are constantly talk and trying to hone our business.<\/p>\n

And it may be a Saturday, a Sunday, a Monday, whatever. It may be early in the morning or late at night. So you don\u2019t ever just get to turn the clock out and leave, and that is a challenge. But it\u2019s so rewarding. And having a good group of people behind you as your employees, it just — which we have. We\u2019re so thankful for the committed employees that we have, and they make our lives a lot easier.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Well, good for you, Jon. I know that you\u2019re an exact example of what Rush was looking for in terms of wanting to honor American small businesses. So wonderful. Great, great sorry.<\/p>\n

JON: I appreciate that. I really appreciate the opportunity to be on with you all. Like I said, Rush has been a lifelong example for my wife and I.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Well, thank you, and say hi to your Rush for us.<\/p>\n

JON: (laughing) We will. We sure will.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Thank you so much, Jon. We appreciate you being there and holding over into this segment. Kathryn, what do you say we check in with our second finalist? This is Julie Welch, Oak Knolls Manor out of Caledonia, New York<\/a><\/strong>. Julie is on the line with us. Kathryn, this is Julie Welch, and she started her business in 2019 by her and her husband. It\u2019s a woman-owned business, and her husband backed her vision. Welcome to the show, Julie.<\/p>\n

JULIE: Hi. Thank you for having me! Hi, Kathryn.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Hello, Julie! It\u2019s great to talk to you today. We loved your nomination. If you could, tell us a little bit, briefly, about your business and how it started.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JULIE: Absolutely. My husband and I would drive out on Caledonia road to church every Sunday, and there\u2019s a beautiful property there, and we\u2019d always drive by and say, “Oh, gosh, if only we could own that,” and it came up for sale by owner, and my husband and I went up and we ended up making an offer that night — which was crazy, because (laughing) he\u2019s working three jobs to keep me home.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a four mother of four. I was listening to Rush all the time, kind of just to stick one foot in the door of what\u2019s going on in the world and he would simplify it so you could understand and keep abreast of the current events and, you know, the trends, the politics, and all of it. So my husband would come home and say, “What did Rush have to teach you today?”<\/p>\n

And we\u2019d start chuckling. And he would go to work and I would head out to the barn. It\u2019s a (unintelligible) barn that was built in the early 1900s. There\u2019s only 40 of them left in the area. They\u2019re called like a country cathedral, and it was chock full of stuff. I would start cleaning and I\u2019d have Rush on and often I\u2019d just start laughing out loud at some of the comments that he would say \u2019cause he was so humorous.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And needless to say, we knew the venue needed to be share or the barn needed to be shared with other people because it\u2019s such an icon. It\u2019s good for something. It\u2019s good for all the hard work that went into the building of it back in the early 1900s. It became kind of a passion, and my husband was able to leave one of his jobs.<\/p>\n

So he would start working with me on it, and he kind of had the business mind. I was (unintelligible). But we kind of fricked and fracked through the process and then we ended up turning it into an event venue and having to go through all the codes and, you know, we wanted to pull it up a few times because it just seemed too impossible. But we just kept persevering, and Rush was a big part of that perseverance.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Good for you. That\u2019s wonderful. Now, how many events are you having? Is it a tough time with covid right now or are you able to still open up?<\/p>\n

JULIE: You know, it\u2019s fascinating. A lot of events moved last year. We had five small events that stayed. But this summer, we have 20 events. We only do one a weekend because we want people to really enjoy their family and slow down because it feels like this world just moves so fast.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of like, back to center, back to enjoying family and life. And we are booking for the well, and we only have five seats available. So it\u2019s fascinating to me that through a pandemic, people are still holding out hope and want to live and want to celebrate those magical moments in their lives.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Good. Good. From the pictures that you sent in, it looks absolutely beautiful. Did you do a lot of refurbishment of the original land and the original building?<\/p>\n

JULIE: A hundred percent. It was falling down. It was… You know, we really took it one step at a time. I mean, it\u2019s such a monster that you couldn\u2019t see the whole vision. And it took a lot of different people that would come in to fix something or help with something and then maybe they would have a (unintelligible), “Hey, have you thought about this?” And, you know, the next thing you\u2019re on to the next little steppingstone. And it just kind of kept falling, you know, before us, and we just kept persevering. It was not fun doing the foundation, but the best day was hanging the chandeliers. (laughing)<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Yeah.<\/p>\n

BRETT: (laughing)<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: I know that you thank Rush a lot in your nomination here, and it\u2019s beautiful to see that he provided you such strength and exposition, and hopefully we can to others listening today who are hoping to smart a small business or wanting to. So great for you.<\/p>\n

JULIE: Thank you, and Rush truly was an inspiration and his hearing loss, you know, our daughter lost her hearing due to a virus just kind of out of the blue. And it was around the same time Rush lost his hearing. And it was so great to hear Rush getting on the radio and persevering through hearing loss and the challenges of wearing a cochlear implant.<\/p>\n

And she now wears two cochlear implants and is finishing her master\u2019s degree. But again, you know, Rush with his perseverance gave us strength to go, “We can get through this. We\u2019re not gonna let this define our daughter. She needs to realize that, you know, you can do something if you stick your mind to it and work hard.”<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: That\u2019s really great to hear. How old is she now?<\/p>\n

JULIE: Mary is 22 years old and fishing her master\u2019s degree at St. Bonaventure University.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Oh, good for you.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Wow.<\/p>\n

JULIE: Yeah, we\u2019re really proud.<\/p>\n

BRETT: It\u2019s an amazing story. It\u2019s remarkable.<\/p>\n

JULIE: Thank you. Well, Rush is a big part of it, and one of the other things that he said — if I have one more second — I remember the day he came on the radio and said, “Be the best that you are. So if you\u2019re a homemaker, be the best homemaker. If you\u2019re a plumber, be the best plumber you can be. If you\u2019re a candidate, be the best.” Honestly, it stuck with me, and every time I felt tired and didn\u2019t feel I could go on, I thought of those words, and it really helped my husband and I to persevere.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: That is exactly right. He always wanted people to find their passions and pursue what was right to them. And in your case, this is a beautiful place. We\u2019ll definitely put it up on the website so people can see the pictures that I\u2019m looking at. But it\u2019s called Oak Knolls Manor, LLC.<\/p>\n

BRETT: And that\u2019s Julie Welch. Julie, thank you so much for coming by and being a part of this today, and best of luck as we work through our finalists. Thank you for coming by.<\/p>\n

JULIE: Excellent. Thank you so much, Kathryn, and we all love you and we love Rush.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Thank you so much, Julie. God bless.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Take care, Julie. Kathryn, we have a third and final finalist here. I think to be fair, we\u2019re gonna get a break in here and then come back and visit with Patty Kline, who is with Sittler Golf, something that\u2019s very passionate… (laughing) Rush was very passionate about golf, no doubt, and we\u2019ll sit with Patty Kline coming up here next I am Brett Winterble alongside Kathryn Limbaugh as we are celebrating the best in the Great American Business Award.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

BRETT: The third finalist that we have, Kathryn — it\u2019s so wonderful to be with you today — is Patty, Patty Kline from Sittler Golf<\/a>.<\/strong> And how about this for beginning line. Patty was first introduced to Rush while a young 27-year-old from New Jersey, working for the New Jersey Commission for the Blind, driving a state vehicle that only had AM radio in the car. Patty Kline, welcome.<\/p>\n

PATTY: Oh, thank you so much for having me. Kathryn, it\u2019s such an honor to speak with you. Rush was such an exposition for my husband and I through this journey.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Oh, wonderful. It\u2019s nice to speak to you as well. Tell us if you could, in a few minutes, about how you started your company. You know that Rush absolutely loves golf and loved golf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PATTY: I know. When I first heard that he started playing and then his passion for it was just amazing for us. We were like, “Yes, he\u2019s into golf. This is amazing!” But it\u2019s funny. My husband and I met at Kutztown University and moved away, and about 10 years later, he met the owner of our property in Kutztown before he moved to a bigger property, and he came home one day — we had two little boys, and we were doing very well.<\/p>\n

He was director of golf for Marriott, and he came home to me and he said, “You know what? Do you remember that driving range in Kutztown? I think I want to buy it” (laughing) and I was like, “Oh. Yeah, I don\u2019t remember it. But we\u2019ll take a look at it,” and so we thought, “We\u2019re 29, we\u2019re young, and we have time to take a risk,” and it turned out to be a wonderful experience for us, and we\u2019re in a great place and a successful business, and we owe a lot of it to Rush\u2019s words of wisdom. The biggest one for me was “burning the midnight oil.”<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PATTY: Every time I heard that, I was like, “Okay. We\u2019re not alone in this. There\u2019s other people staying up \u2019til midnight and beyond.”<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Exactly, and when you want to give up, don\u2019t, \u2019cause you hear Rush in your ears saying, “Don\u2019t give up.” That\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

PATTY: Oh, there were so many times, and we\u2019d wake up the next morning and be like, “Nope. You know what? We need to move on,” and it was just nice to hear, “Yes, you can do it. You know, if you persevere, if you have patience — and faith is a big thing for us, and all of those and above really helped us to get through all the highs and lows.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: So I see in your nomination here that you were nominated by Golf Digest as the best hundred club fitters?<\/p>\n

PATTY: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Oh, that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

PATTY: Yeah, and that really was what launched us to the next level. So we had a property in Kutztown, which is 14 acres, and in 2011, we were named one of Golf Digest\u2019s best 100 fitters. It was their inaugural award, and we\u2019ve earned it each year since, and that helped us to purchase our new property, which is now 24 acres. And the building is three times the size of the building we had in Kutztown, and we were in the process of hiring about five more new full-time, year-round people. So we\u2019re really proud of that. And, yeah, it\u2019s just… That really helped us take off.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Phenomenal.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: Good for you — and tell us the name, again, of your company.<\/p>\n

PATTY: It\u2019s Sittler Golf.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: That\u2019s great. In Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania?<\/p>\n

PATTY: Sinking Spring, yeah. We used to be in Kutztown, and now it\u2019s Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Well, a remarkable story. Pursuing the passion — burning the midnight oil, Kathryn, as she said.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: (laughs) Yeah.<\/p>\n

BRETT: That\u2019s just a huge part of this.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

PATTY: Yes. Absolutely. (chuckles)<\/p>\n

BRETT: Well, Patty and Rick Kline, we appreciate you joining us here. We wish you good luck and all the best in this pursuit. We all know how much Rush loved golf, and it was just a passion, and it\u2019s a passion for millions of people. Thank you for joining us today and good luck.<\/p>\n

PATTY: Thank you so much for having me! Thank you.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Thank you, Patty. Kathryn, we have three beautiful stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
