John Feely, Esko’s Familiar Face
John Feely spent years in the Air Force, and he still runs his life on what he learned there: service before self, integrity first, excellence in all you do. In civilian life in Esko, that shows up in lots of meaningful ways. Coaching youth sports. Teaching your kids responsibility by giving them a job and expecting them to do it right. And by being a good example of what grit and determination means.
In this episode of Local Heart, we spend a day in Esko with John and Amy, the businesses they run, and the three kids they’re raising. Why Esko? As Amy puts it, “This is where you get time, and this is where you get space.” Why NBC? Well, you’ll have to check out the video for that.
Banking With People Who Know You
Before Esko, John and Amy banked where you get an account number and a call center far, far away. Here, they get their neighbor. One call, a straight answer, and whatever they need handled by someone who knows their community because they live in it. For two people running businesses and raising a family, that’s worth a lot. So is knowing they’re not just a number to the people on the other end of the phone.
