Day 3 of the West CEO speakers series featured Kim Purvis, Koehler Farms, who was able to take time from the fields to talk about her collection of "bumper stickers." She started to intentional collect them after reading Matthew McConaughey's book where he used the term to describe his collection of mantras he tries to live by. Each student drew a bumper sticker and gave thoughts on what they thought it meant. You might be surprised that Kim's quotes come from a variety of community members and friends she has met over the years.
