On this week’s episode, presented by Busey Bank, I’m joined by someone who has done it all—built a $350 million consulting powerhouse, led digital transformations for Fortune 500 giants, and now? He’s turning that same business brilliance toward one of the most urgent health challenges of our time: Alzheimer’s. Ron Daugherty is the founder of Daugherty Business Solutions and now the visionary force behind Daugherty Enterprises and the Daugherty Foundation. His journey began in a small office in 1985 with one bold belief—that technology, when done right, could change lives. And it has.

We’ll explore leadership with purpose and how one man’s mission is transforming Alzheimer’s care—one breakthrough, one patient, and one family at a time. Let’s roll…

And he’s doing it with intention. His brand-new fine dining concept, Robin Restaurant, just opened its doors in the heart of Maplewood, Missouri, bringing what he calls “fine comfort” to the table—think elevated Midwest cuisine with zero pretension and total purpose.

Alec joins us to talk about the 18-year journey that led to this moment, the hurdles of opening his own place, the metrics he’s using to define success, and why obsessing over every detail—from warm bread to water refills—isn’t just hospitality... it’s strategy. Let’s roll…
