Huge congratulations to one of my closest friends John Jovanovic on being sworn in this past weekend as President & Chairman of the Export–Import Bank of the United States. @EximBankUS His experience, life story, and unique perspective have shaped important conversations for years, including through his past time as a member of Concordia’s Senior Advisory Council. @concordiasummit As I said at the Annual Summit, this appointment gives me immense confidence and faith in what is to come for the Export-Import Bank. Bravo, my friend. I love watching every element of your incredible career. Congratulations, John. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I am truly honored and humbled to have accepted an invitation to join the Board of Trustees of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library @TRPresLibrary Having long believed in the fundamental importance of civic education, I can think of no institution more fitting to engage with on this vital matter than this institution that will officially open on July 4, 2026. It is truly an auspicious museum dedicated to a President whom I deeply admire for his commitment to public service and principled leadership. I eagerly anticipate being "in the arena" and contributing to the library's mission under the esteemed leadership of Hilary Hamm @HilaryHonor with whom I worked so closely at @ConcordiaSummit newswire.com/news/theodore-r…

That is some of the best advice I ever heard. Being reminded of it makes for the perfect start to the week. #booneism @boonepickens @jayrosser
“A fool with a plan can beat a genius with no plan.” I’m grateful my dad pulled me aside and gave me this warning at a young age. I’ve never been without a plan since. #Booneism
