It’s a touchy subject—right up there with politics and religion. But obesity reaches high enough numbers and dollars that it can’t be quietly swept under the rug. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 34 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 and older are obese, a looming figure that’s more than doubled since the late 1970s.1 The figure has recently settled after a quarter-century of steady growth, leaving the majority of U.S. adults—approximately 66 percent—overweight or obese, with health care costs continuing to rise with no end in sight.2
Gordon Nichol can’t smell wood anymore.
Some things you just know. For everything else, ask an expert. Six alumni share their smart responses to everyday situations.

By the end of their first class period, MBA students in the power, influence, and negotiations course are engaged in a full-scale, one-on-one negotiation over the sale of a biochemical plant.
Years of planning and effort came to fruition on 24 October 2008 when President Thomas S. Monson dedicated the 76,000-square-foot N. Eldon Tanner Building Addition.
Inside the Tanner Building they’re professors who teach finance, ethics, marketing, accounting, and a host of other subjects. But, have you ever wondered what these notable professors do in their spare time?
In an episode of M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter is called to Seoul and leaves Hawkeye in charge. Hawkeye, who instinctively challenges authority, experiences what it’s like to be in charge, and on several occasions, he oversteps his authority. When Potter returns, he sits down with Hawkeye and B.J., who are feuding about B.J. violating one of Hawkeye’s orders. Potter lets the two surgeons go at each other and remains quiet until Hawkeye tries to enlist his support. “Why aren’t you helping me?” Hawkeye asks. “You should be in the middle of this. You’re the commander.”
Looking at Unique Challenges
In a recent conversation with President Gordon B. Hinckley, I described a difficult decision I had made at work—one I should have made sooner. “President, I just wish I were smarter,” I confessed.

Second-year MBA students have the opportunity to manage the Marriott School’s $1.4 million stock portfolio—and although it’s called the Silver Fund, it mostly sees green.
I own two small companies. It’s hard to pay myself benefits, let alone all my employees. The first thing to look at is making sure they are paid a competitive wage, then add vacation/holidays and keep within reason. Next, they might need health insurance, but if the spouse is working elsewhere and is covered, we can sometimes eliminate it. Finally, you might look at adding tax deferred savings plans and insurance. Since both my companies are retail, we offer very steep discounts to employees. It has been my experience that most people working for small companies do not expect superb benefits. Also, in order to keep costs down, you must do a lot of shopping.
A Business Idea Whose Time Has Come
Several weeks ago, I traveled to the north side of Chicago to visit my son. I drove from downtown Chicago to Lincoln Park, where he lives. As I turned onto Clybourn Avenue, I suddenly encountered a scene that I hadn’t seen or thought of in years—the Clybourn Gospel Chapel.
