Ironclad Performance Wear<br />
Ironclad.com<br />
Ed Jaeger, Ironclad’s founder, realized that there was<br />
a huge disconnect between the worker and their most<br />
important tool—their hands. His concept was to build<br />
a glove that offered protection and performance, but<br />
sacrificed neither. He also wanted to create a brand<br />
that real workers could be proud to wear, a brand that<br />
would stick with them through thick and thin, and a<br />
brand that was built solely for them. These people<br />
are the true heroes of real life. Ironclad pioneered this<br />
new territory—developing task-specific gloves that<br />
helped each worker get the job done more safely,<br />
efficiently and effectively. But just developing taskspecific<br />
gloves wasn’t enough. Ironclad needed to<br />
bring new technologies, materials and innovations to<br />
these harsh working environments. As a result, Ironclad<br />
has developed and owns 74 Patents and Trademarks<br />
worldwide. These exclusive properties are a part of our<br />
expanding advanced glove technology which can be<br />
seen in virtually every glove Ironclad sells.<br />
The Classroom<br />
ClintRutledge.com<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> coaching legend D.W. Rutledge’s<br />
son, Clint Rutledge, has released his<br />
newest book which takes the reader<br />
behind the scenes of the Converse Judson<br />
Rockets program of the 1980s and 1990s.<br />
In an incredible 10-year run during those<br />
two decades, the Rockets went to three<br />
State semi-final games and seven State<br />
Championship games, winning four of<br />
them. According to Clint Rutledge, the<br />
source of that success was found in an<br />
old room the players and coaches simply<br />
referred to as “The Classroom,” which<br />
fittingly is the title of his new book.<br />

Since 1995, A Wild Soap Bar’s goal has been to provide truly natural soaps and body care products<br />
made from scratch featuring wildcrafted and organic botanicals that are safe for all living things and a<br />
joy to use. A portion of their profits are donated each year to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center,<br />
Western National Parks Association, and Clean the World. AWSB also created a Kiva micro-lending<br />
group called Wild About Good where they donate 100 percent of the profits from their Real Castile<br />
Soap to lift people up worldwide. Their handmade natural products are biodegradable, cruelty-free,<br />
minimally packaged, many are vegan, and they do not contain synthetic fragrance oils or other harmful<br />
chemicals. 100 percent of their base oils are certified organic. The sustainable organic palm oil they<br />
use is from Colombia and is RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified as well as Rainforest<br />
Alliance certified. AWSB earned Green America’s Top Gold Certified Business Seal by being committed<br />
