In June 2025, Four Leaf Communications established an Advisory Board to help guide the company’s growth and long-term strategy. The board includes three respected media veterans: Jim Arneson, Brad Heinkel, and Mike Smith, who bring decades of experience in broadcasting, sales, and executive leadership. Their insight will help strengthen Four Leaf’s mission to support small and mid-sized businesses across Northeast Wisconsin.
After 25 years in local television news, John Laughrin made the leap into something entirely new, and deeply personal. He recently had the honor of being featured in a story by WFRV Local 5’s Timothy Littau, who captured not only John’s career journey, but also the heart behind launching Four Leaf Communications.
