Proud to hear our board president Heather Jantz, COO of MJE, talking about rural innovation on the Groundbreakers podcast. For 50+ years the MJE team has put innovation to work, helping to grow and build SW Kansas.

A 50-year reputation is not built by accident.

In this episode of Groundbreakers: Stories of Rural Innovation, Ethan Cantrell sits down with Heather Jantz to talk about leadership, trust, diversification, workforce development, and what it takes to keep growing without losing sight of who you are.

Heather shares lessons from her years at MJE, including how the company protects client relationships, invests in employees, manages risk, and looks ahead to new opportunities in construction, livestock equipment, water recycling, biogas, and rural innovation.
