Screen Shot 2016-05-12 at 3.18.56 PMA couple of months ago, I wrote a post about a site that I think is spot on in what it’s trying to do. It’s called 1 in one hundred million and it’s devoted to sharing the personal stories of people, the American Worker, who do the many important and too-often unrecognized jobs upon which we all rely. Basically, it’s a site talking about the unsung heroes that make America run, day-in and day-out. They are not on a reality show, they usually don’t make the nightly news, and they most certainly aren’t mobbed i in the streets with people looking for a selfie. They simply go about their business like you and I do and keep American running. Plain and simple. Nothing flashy, just getting it done. Sorry, there won’t be a Twitter feud making the gossip pages with these folks. You’ll have to look elsewhere. This site has nothing to do with any of that, so that’s why I’m bring it to your attention one more time. It’s awesome.

It’s just so nice and refreshing to see the people in these 1 in one hundred million videos, because they are there for all the right reasons for a change. They do a great job, have great families, and live good lives. They love what they do and should be an inspiration to everyone who watches the videos. Do what you love, do a good job at it…that’s what life is all about. You can’t really ask for much more than that.

I guess this has stuck with me, even when the world seems to seek out bling more and more. My friends include cops, firemen, and contractors. Yes, I know plenty of lawyers, engineers, and bankers that work their butts off, too. No one gets a free ride today, especially in ultra competitive and super expensive NY. I just appreciate Americans doing their work, quietly, competently, and to their best of their ability. This is what this site and this series is about. There are 100 Million great stories like this it seems. It’s good to shine some light on some of them and see how they go about their business.

You can check out all of their bios right here.

Now check out the latest video, Ep: 19, with Troy Mitchum, VP of Security, The Wynn Las Vegas:

Troy Mitchum leads the security team at the Wynn, Las Vegas. He has been with Wynn for 30 years (LOVE THAT)! During his journey with the company, he risen through the ranks, and has held 8 different positions. Starting in 1985 he worked in the mail room, then folded towels, cleaned the pool, was a bellman, and worked as a Valet parking cars – all of which he says have been valuable in helping him get to where he is today. Wynn has an educational assistance program, so when Troy decided to enter college, he was reimbursed 100% for every “A” he received. With his college education, Troy grew into the position of Executive Director of Guest Services.

Now he and his team are entrusted with the complex job of keeping the property and its guests safe and secure. The Wynn has 25,000 people visit every day – that’s 9 million visitors per year – and first and foremost the security team is there here for the guests.
Troy knows first-hand what it takes to manage security for such a high-profile resort casino. They have 3 briefings per day – local and federal – on events, what’s hot, and things happening in society globally. Their security operation has over 400 individuals, but they are also a very high tech operation. A major part of the job that Troy loves is that they are always the good guys. They are there for service, service, service!

The story of someone staying with the same company, starting from the bottom, and growing over time into such an important position should be something for us all to admire and try to emulate. This is the real American Dream and it seems like the Wynn is very lucky to have something like Troy in their ranks. That’s really what this site and video series is all about.

I love that Kronos is working to shine a light on the unsung heroes of the American workforce. They do so much and they rarely receive little to no recognition for keeping our country rolling.

It’s always inspiring to hear stories of people who stay with the same company for many decades and work their way up the corporate ladder. Being loyal to one company is admirable.

This documentary is the kind of show I want to watch on TV. They are inspiring and they do so much and you are right, they run America but not many people really notices them.
