Lifewall for Business is built around capturing the vision of a business and proclaiming it to the community through murals and canvas prints.
In order to be the best, we need to invest into each business to the fullest, and truly understand what it values and envisions (It sounds pretty technical, I know). It's actually incredibly rewarding to get to know the business leaders of Marshall on such a personal level!
You may have read our feature on the Bisbee P & H murals that we put up this past summer. What you haven't heard is the "Good Stuff", why Scott wanted these murals in the first place and what these murals say about Bisbee P & H as a company.
If you don't know Scott, you should.. seriously. Scott will welcome you in, give you a firm hand shake, look you in the eye and give it to you straight. Whatever the topic is, no fluff just straight talk.
If we ever create a Lifewall hall of fame, Scott will be inducted first.
Scott loves Marshall, he loves the history and the people. Scott knew right away that he wanted a timeline of the history of Marshall to circle his whole lobby (how cool!) spanning from the late 1800's - Present. Yes, Marshall is that old!
Immediately we began work on compiling TONS, and I mean TONS of photos from every historical record we could find in Marshall. As the project unfolded, Scott would stop by and check on the progress, we would often times get caught up talking about a specific photograph and how Bisbee was involved or the story behind certain buildings like the Atlantic Hotel or the old drug stores in the mid-1900's.
The second mural that Scott knew he wanted was more personal, he wanted a wall dedicated to all his past and present employees, and I really mean ALL. Scott was much more picky about his employee wall - which is a GREAT thing - it was personal and he wanted it to be perfect!
To an unsuspecting bystander with no sense of insight, Scott's murals look like just that, murals! But, to someone who pays attention, Scott's murals are so much more. They are his values, his history, and his mission.
Talk to Scott about his murals for five minutes and it becomes evident what they mean to him. Scott believes Marshall will always be the place for Bisbee to be located; it was a promise he made to his father-in-law when he took over the business. Scott always remembers who worked for him, and they're more than people; they're friends and family, essentially what Scott's murals say is what Scott is all about. He's about history, he's about Marshall, and he's about people.
