Grow Where You’re Planted

Late in the spring, sometime in the last four decades, a beautiful woman from Spiro, OK, and her loving husband welcomed an inspirational soul into the world. He was unlike any other; he always pushed the limits to do more, if that meant extra drills after football practice, he was there. If that meant hitting the skin off of one more baseball, he was there. No matter the championship to be at or the competition that lies in wait the next day, Jeremy Fouts was up and ready to contribute to his household duties before he headed to the athletic competition for the day. These competitions kept Fouts in tip-top shape physically and helped to keep a formidable competitor mentally. He had just the right drive mixed with talent and hard work to create success; if you were to ask anyone who has ever interacted with him, unanimously you would soon discover his true secret power(s) is humility. There is never anyone along Jeremy’s path in need that he wouldn’t be the first to help in any way he could; he quite literally would give you the shirt off his back. And even though he is going to get to the bottom of who provided the information in this blog, it's worth the risk so that everyone can know how truly remarkable of a person Jeremy is and continues to be. Money hasn’t changed him, arenas chanting his name in unison hasn’t changed him. For him, life is about what you do forever. When we sat around a boardroom table putting the finishing touches on CorVive we finally got to the point in time when each of us would voice what CorVive should be…and almost unanimously the main message was that of love, serve and care. Jeremy Fouts thought it should be easy and meaningful and he has done just that. Now, as the outside forces seem to change like the wind, sometimes at your back, other times in your face. But this is where we get to witness the proof of Candice and Jeremy Fouts’ idea of building the company with a foundation built on principles that can withstand the billowing winds that come from all directions. We’ve tested and retested and we are proud to say, we are still here. While many have shut their doors, CorVive has always been one strategic move ahead of the rest of the world.  As many others struggled to shift gears, CorVive was ready to grab a gear and put the pedal down. It helps to have founders that can lean on their own experiences to make sure all goes well. CorVive continues to not only grow but also thrive in the soil where it was planted. The Fouts leaned on their life lessons to find the perfect soil to raise up a crop of leaders, a bountiful product line, and most importantly, a message to keep us all united: love, serve, care. None of this would be possible without Jeremy [...]
