Greg Thomas
LSGF Management

Greg Thomas is president of LSGF Management and a franchisee of several brands including Great Clips and Smoothie King.

Working as a water delivery boy in 2004 and having a net worth of about zero, Greg embellished some financial applications to secure a loan to buy a distressed/under-performing hair salon. A combination of great operations and out of the box marketing led this becoming the fastest growing salon in the country.

Following that same business model, Greg bought several more distressed businesses. A few years later he teamed with neighbor Grant Simon to form LSGF management, which owns/operates over 160 stores.

In addition to being a franchisee, Greg served as co-op president for 8 years. In that role, he developed several large cross-promotions and charity-marketing concepts with a goal of increasing foot traffic without discounting.

One of those programs was the Great Clips 300 NASCAR race which resulted in the highest attended Nationwide Race in Atlanta’s history.

As long as business continues to be profitable and fun, Greg and Grant plan to continue adding more stores.

Poke Burri, Lifting Noodle Ramen

Lifting Noodles is located in the We Suki Suki food court in East Atlanta Village. The creation is the product of restaurateurs Ken Yu and Seven Chan and a proud member of the KSP Restaurant Group.

Our founders saw a gap in the ramen market here in Atlanta and wanted to put their own unique spins on the concept. Lifting Noodles will offer classic traditional dishes you think of when you think of ramen but also their own twists and secret menu.

Just like any of their concepts there will be all kinds of adventurous new takes on ramen including fried ramen dishes, ramen inspired by different cuisines, and of course seasonal items with fresh amazing ingredients.

Michael J. Coles: Cookies, Coffee and Kennesaw on Capital Club Radio

Please join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Michael J. Coles, Atlanta business executive, serial entrepreneur, education advocate, well-known public speaker, the namesake of the Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University and author of Time to Get Tough: How Cookies, Coffee and a Crash Led to Success in Business and Life. His book explains how he started a $100 million company with only $8,000, overcame a near-fatal motorcycle accident, set three transcontinental cycling world records and ran for Congress twice.

Prior to writing his book, Michael was the Chairman of the Board for BrandBank and for Brand Group Holdings, Inc. Additionally, he was the former CEO of Caribou Coffee from 2003-2012 and co-founder of the Great American Cookie Company in 1977.

Moreover, he was in the clothing industry for over 19 years and launched two clothing businesses. Michael has been a highly engaged philanthropist with organizations such as Hillels of Georgia, the Georgia Film Commission, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, the Kennesaw State University Foundation Board and the Walker School Board. He and his wife, Donna, have also supported the American Lung Association, Georgia Special Olympics, Scottish Rite Children’s Medical Center, and the March of Dimes.

He and his wife reside in Atlanta and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Here is a glimpse of what Michael shared in the interview.

“…it doesn’t matter how many thousands of miles you ride, it doesn’t matter how many weeks, or months, or even years you might put into something, it’s the last five miles that count.”

“So, I’ve always believed that the difference between success and failure is how you’re prepared…How you deal with the unexpected.”

“Information, innovation…implementation, and then the last one, the most important one is improvement.”

Metro Atlanta Chamber SVP and Chief Economist Tom Cunningham on Georgia Business Radio

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 15:00:05 GMT

Metro Atlanta Chamber SVP and Chief Economist Tom Cunningham on Georgia Business Radio

Tom Cunningham, SVP and Chief Economist
Metro Atlanta Chamber

Thomas J. Cunningham is Senior Vice President and the Chief Economist for the Metro Atlanta Chamber (MAC). Tom joined the MAC in July 2015 following a 30-year career at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. He is a specialist in open economy macroeconomic policy and regional analysis. At the MAC, he manages an internal team that supports the research and advocacy roles of the economic development and public policy departments.

After starting his career at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta as an economist in the Macropolicy group, Tom served at various times as associate director of research, interim director of research, vice president for the Regional group where he was also responsible for the Latin American group, and acting head of the Finance group. He served on the Bank's Personnel, Information Technology, and Risk Management Committees and as a member of the Federal Reserve System's Information Security Group and Technology Services Council. He also was the acting director of, and helped establish, the Bank's Center for Real Estate Analytics. When Dr. Cunningham retired from the Fed, his title was Vice President, Senior Economist and Regional Executive.

A native of Reedley, California, he received a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, in economics from California State University, Fresno. He earned a master's degree, a master of philosophy, and a PhD in economics from Columbia University. He previously worked as an economics instructor at Barnard College at Columbia University and as an adjunct instructor at Iona College, Agnes Scott College and Emory University.

He attended the executive development program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and is a member of Leadership Atlanta’s class of 2018. Dr. Cunningham has published numerous professional articles and is a member of the American Economic Association, the Western Economic Association, and the Southern Economic Association.

Topics to Discuss:

National Employment Situation report contains some solid numbers, but mixed headlines. The solid numbers are in job gains, where the nation added 213,000 jobs, well above the market expectation of around 190,000.

Revisions to the two previous months added another 37,000 jobs. The mixed part of the report is that the headline is the unemployment rate (U3) ticked up from 3.8% to 4.0%.

The expectation was for no change. This was mostly due to an increase in the labor force participation, which moved up 0.2 percentage points after being essentially unchanged since February.

At this point the economy needs the additional workers, so this is a fundamentally good thing. The broader measure of labor underutilization (U6) also rose 0.2 percentage points to 7.8%.

Average hourly earnings rose 2.7% from a year ago, slightly below expectations, but about in line with recent history.

Jobs gains were led by professional and business services, followed by manufacturing, which had a solid 30,000 job addition, mostly in durable goods. Strength was also seen in health care, construction, and mining. Retail was the only sector with a notable loss of jobs (-22,000), but that did not offset last month’s gain of 25,000. Other sectors were essentially unchanged.

All in all, a pretty good report, despite an easily misinterpreted rise in unemployment.

Amazon Storefronts, Shop Exclusively from U.S. Small Businesses Interview with Gene Marks on Georgia Business Radio

Amazon Storefronts, Shop Exclusively from U.S. Small Businesses Interview with Gene Marks on Georgia Business Radio

Today we have Gene Marks, Washington Post columnist author and financial expert joining us to talk about how supporting the U.S. small businesses online is an important concept for not just Americans and local business, but for the entire community and now it's even easier when shopping online to buy from us small businesses with a new store called Amazon Storefronts. Making life so easy these days, thank you to Amazon. This is a store to shop exclusively from U.S. small businesses, which is very passionate and close to our hearts at the Pro Business Channel, helping support those small and medium-sized businesses.

We certainly have a business expert joining us on today's show, Gene Marks writes daily for the Washington Post as I mentioned focusing on issues affecting the business community also writes weekly columns for Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Fox Business, The Huffington Post, Entrepreneur.com and if we can afford him on the Pro Business Channel. Gene this could be a regular series.

[00:01:12] Yeah, I'll have my agent call your agent. Well as soon as we get an agent we'll take that call. Yeah. All right. So, these columns are read by hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses owners around the country.

[00:01:25] So this is definitely in everyone's wheelhouse for this episode. Gene has written six books on business management specifically geared towards again, those small and medium-sized companies. Here to analyze and provide details about this new digital storefront is author and as I mentioned business expert Gene Marks. Gene before we get into this, you’ve written six books.

[00:01:47] So what's your most popular and best known or of those six books? By the way these books are sold on Amazon.com. My bestselling book is, “In God We Trust, Everyone Else Pays Cash” it’s a bunch of cash flow advice and tips, geared toward small business owners. Okay, and we may give a teaser at the end of this segment are about your next book maybe in the work.

[00:02:12] So let's jump into this topic, tell our listeners why it's important for shoppers to buy from us businesses, even when they're shopping online. I mean, well Rich, you know that she talked about this on your show as well. I mean there are hundreds of thousands of small businesses in in Georgia, you know, these are businesses that that provide many jobs to the state and nationally, you know, small businesses provide more than half of the jobs.

[00:02:40] We know that small businesses are a huge part of the US economy and there are a lot of people out there that want to support small businesses and you know their government programs that do that some companies are doing that as well and. You mentioned in your introduction. I mean Amazon stepped up this week as well and they're launching something called storefronts and you know, what the whole backstory to store funds riches that you know Amazon if you buy something from Amazon, it's more likely that it's coming from a small Merchant.

[00:03:12] Half of the products that sold on the site comes from a small business or a merchant and there's more than a million small businesses in the us alone that are selling their products on Amazon. So, Amazon sort of said, you know what let's bring some of these guys together. They're starting off at 20,000 small businesses selling more than a million products under storefronts.

[00:03:36] You and I or anybody else that wants make sure that when we’re buying something the same as usual, but we want to make sure it's going to a U.S. based small business. We can do that from their store front site and that's just an amazing concept.

[00:03:57] So this is not bricks-and-mortar, right? Absolutely, correct.

Joe Messere
Deputy Director, Southeast at Team Rubicon
Team Rubicon USA

NonProfit Executive, Veteran, Entrepreneur. Making a difference in people's lives every day through disaster response and veteran reintegration. Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams.

Team Rubicon’s primary mission is providing disaster relief to those affected by natural disasters, be they domestic or international. By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, Team Rubicon aims to provide the greatest service and impact possible.

Through continued service, Team Rubicon seeks to provide our veterans with three things they lose after leaving the military: a purpose, gained through disaster relief; community, built by serving with others; and identity, from recognizing the impact one individual can make. Coupled with leadership development and other opportunities, Team Rubicon looks to help veterans transition from military to civilian life.

Serving the Under-served Across the world, disasters are a part of life. No corner of the globe is spared from severe weather – be it crippling winter storms, catastrophic hurricanes, or unchecked wildfires. By focusing on under-served or economically-challenged communities, Team Rubicon seeks to makes the largest impact possible. Disasters represent a massive financial cost, and by providing immediate relief work, free of cost, TR aims to help communities begin recovery sooner.

Topics to Discuss:
Veterans Day
For many men and women of our Armed Forces, the desire to serve their country and fellow man does not diminish once they take off the uniform.
Continued service helps us build stronger communities and supports transitioning veterans.

Bio for Paul Hochman - America’s Technology Reporter
Connect with Paul Hochman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulhochman

As the Gear and Technology Editor for the NBC TODAY Show, Mr. Hochman has spent over 10 years mingling with TV hosts who wonder how he got on the set.

Matt Lauer still pretends not to know him when he sees him in the Green Room at 30 Rock. Al Roker will now appear in public with Mr. Hochman only when he's wearing a fur hat or juggling oranges.

And Bill Gates? Hochman's exclusive Today Show interview with Gates about a then-breakthrough Microsoft technology likely got Gates's entire security staff fired.

During Mr. Hochman's time with the TODAY Show, he has covered Olympic gear and technology at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics, the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino; and the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.

He was also the technology and culture reporter for Versus TV and the Tour de France; the host of an online technology talk show on MSN called "Playit4Ward" and has been a longtime technology contributor for CNBC and MSNBC.

Mr. Hochman atoned for his life in morning TV by becoming a journalist. He was a Contributing Writer for Fast Company Magazine, focusing on technology and design; his article about 'sexy prosthetics' was called a "Must Read" by the editorial staff of The New York Times.

Mr. Hochman was also a founding writer for The New York Times's sports-focused Sunday Magazine, called PLAY; wrote for FORTUNE Magazine; and has been a contributing editor for SKI Magazine. For 10 years, he was that magazine's Ski Test Director, directing the testing of all new gear. He was nominated for an Olympic Media Award for his work with The Wall Street Journal.

Finally, Mr. Hochman is an accomplished athlete. He has a black belt in the Uechi-Ryu style of Karate and was member of the Dartmouth Men's Alpine Ski Team. He speaks French and Italian, graduated cum Laude from Dartmouth College, and has 4 children. He is married to an Olympian, Carrie Sheinberg, who skis faster than he ever will.

Business Law, Estate Planning and Immigration with Scarborough Law on the Georgia Podcast

Stephanie Scarborough
Scarborough Law LLC

I am an Attorney and Business Counselor to small businesses and multinational corporations. I manage Scarborough Law’s offices in Jacksonville, Florida and Alpharetta, Georgia and am admitted to practice law in New York and Georgia.

I have worked with multinational corporations to meet their high-volume and specialized immigration needs.

Aside from my immigration practice, our Georgia offices counsel businesses and individuals to protect their assets and families through effective business structures and legacy planning. My journey to estate and business planning came from my desire to work closely with clients and help them protect their families. I have 3 teen boys and a spouse who need to be protected as well as aging parents who have been married for 51 years. When I considered the individual and unique needs of my family, I realized that I really wanted to do something that would support parents and business owners. I look forward to working with you, your family, and your business as your Personal Family Lawyer.

Facebook welcomed over 1500 Atlanta community members to the Southern Exchange Ballroom and kicked off the two-day digital skills training event to empower small-business owners with the tools and resources they need to build their business.

A panel of Atlanta small businesses walked through their own experiences and shared how they use these skills every day in their business. Panelists included:

(L to R) Maranda Walker-Dowell (Joes Gourmet) Nate Martin (Magnolia Room Tucker) and Farrah Haidar (Seven Sisters Scones) join Alexandra Duffield from Facebook (moderating panel) on a discussion on how having digital skills have helped their businesses.

Joes Gourmet - Maranda Walker-Dowell
Maranda came up with the idea of packaging a ready to cook breading mix about three years ago and the business has been growing ever since. Facebook and Instagram have been key to their growth, as they are trying to drive traffic to their e-commerce so they can sell their 12 oz fish fried package nationwide. They use advanced tools to target their audiences, the Facebook Pixel and Dynamic Ads being the most notable. Creating Custom and Lookalike audiences have made it easier to reach the right audience. Thanks to their success and community involvement they have been featured in Shark Tank and Good Morning America.

Seven Sisters Scones - Farrah Haidar
Seven Sisters Scones started their business in 2015, when one of seven sisters (who was actually a chef) decided to start selling her delicious scones. The business has expanded from selling simply scones to a cafe where they have a full breakfast and lunch menu. The scones have become so popular that Farrah decided to build an ecommerce business to start selling nationwide.

Magnolia Room Tucker - Nate Martin
Magnolia Room Tucker was created to pay homage to a restaurant called “S & S Cafeteria”, which the owner was a patron for 15 years. Nate said that the owner saw that people were going to lose a great restaurant to visit and work at, so he bought the business, moved it to Tucker, and even hired on at least 20-25 of the staff. While they have some local competition that has been in business for over 60 years, and Nate says that if it wasn't for Facebook, Magnolia Room would not have survived.

A Facebook representative also presented the latest tips and tricks for businesses on the platform. Participants learned best practices on connecting with more customers, creating ads to increase conversions, managing a digital presence and building awareness of a brand.

Facebook Community Boost Interview with Lori Ann Pope on Georgia Business Radio

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 16:00:35 GMT

Facebook Community Boost Interview with Lori Ann Pope on Georgia Business Radio

Rich Casanova with the Pro Business Channel on site in our own hometown of Atlanta for Georgia Business Radio. We're at a phenomenal event here today with Facebook and their community boost events, bringing the communities together city-by-city. This is a fascinating concept and tour, were excited and proud to be part of it, right now here joining me at the event live is Lori Ann Pope, Facebook's global small business event marketing lead.

Rich Casanova: Before we start talking about the event and your role, actually before we started recording you immediately had a flashback to your radio days, tell me a little bit about that.

Lori Ann Pope: So I started radio in college. I was at Brown University and worked at WBRU FM which was an FM station but a workshop for college students. And so that really instilled my love of radio, music in particular, but I also did news and also exposed me to all sorts of music. I did everything from R&B to Rock to Jazz.

Rich: [00:00:53] Yeah once it gets in your blood right you're hooked, right? So once you once you move on past this Facebook gig we talk about bringing you back in radio one day maybe right? So you're about three and a half years into this. So what's your role now Facebook?

Lori Ann: [00:01:09] So my role at Facebook has always been the same for the last three years. I'm the global small business event marketing lead and basically what that means is that I lead the team that produces and brings us to life around the world. So we're here in the US but we've also launched in Amea, Europe the Middle East and Africa and also in Asia, we actually launched in Jakarta today.

Rich: [00:01:31] Oh, wow, that's exciting and Atlanta, you know, how often does that happen? We had a conversation earlier with Katherine Shappley from Facebook talking about what this 50 city tour involves. So, it's 36 cities so far right?

Lori Ann: [00:01:49] It's actually more than that. So Facebook Community boost is really under sort of a larger umbrella of what we call our economic develop initiatives, which is basically how do we help communities boost economies etc. And so it's actually not a new program that we've rolled out. There's really been some version of this for the last five years. I believe you talked to Bess Yount. I call her the Godmother of Facebook Community Boost. It may have started out as Facebook fit and then morphed. So we've stuck with Boost for a long time, so it's either been boost your business or Facebook Community Boost. The whole point has always been connecting with small businesses and their employees to give them the skills and digital tools they need to basically grow their businesses online. I'm passionate about this so many of our small businesses are not engaged in the digital economy.

Rich: [00:02:43] I definitely feel your passion and a shout-out to Bess. I don't know if they still do shout outs or not. So now talk to us about the mission, the idea and the backstory of the community boost events you're doing not only here in the US but around the world and this event in particular, The experiences and some of the takeaways from this three-day event from two different perspectives. One, the instructors and experts and also from the attendees, what's the exchange here?

Lori Ann: [00:03:12] So when we looked at building their curriculum, it was really filling that gap in what do people really want to know and what don't they know? So a lot of it is one just basics, you know, digital skills and education and then it moves onto introduction to Facebook also Instagram, you may not know that Facebook owns Instagram.

Rich: [00:03:34] There's a rumor about that. That's a pretty amazing story.

She was featured in USA Today as one of the top 20 students in the US and was the ODK National Leader of the Year. Lara was a scholarship member of the varsity Track & Field team at Georgia Tech.

Lara has served on several Boards including: Georgia Tech Alumni Association Board of Trustees, Georgia Techs Scheller College of Business, the Georgia Tech College of Engineering, ACE Loans, Atlanta Heights Charter School, Flag Bank, Georgia Techs Alexander Tharpe Fund, and Society of International Business Fellows.

Jack Portman Transfiguring an Iconic Architectural Firm into a Global Real Estate Development Company on Business Developers Network

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 14:00:37 GMT

:arrow: :arrow: Transfiguring an Iconic Architectural Firm into a Global Real Estate Development Company
An Interview with Jack Portman
Chairman of John Portman & Associates and Portman International
John C. (Jack) Portman, III is the Vice-Chairman of Portman Holdings, the land and property development company. Jack is responsible for the international development activities of the company.
By the 1970’s, Portman Associates had already established its reputation as a transformative architectural firm. After graduating college, Jack embarked on a global journey where he developed an affinity for SE Asia and envisioned that Portman should pursue international real estate development and property management in the Pacific Rim. Jack would later established Portman Overseas and today a significant amount of Portman’s business is in the Asian market.
Jack Portman’s vision and business acumen has had a major impact on the Portman companies and their international real estate development and management projects for almost 50 years.
Jack envisioned the market potential within China and only one week after China opened its doors to trade with America met with Chinese Prime Minister, Deng Xiao Ping to press to become the first foreign real estate development in China.
Jack describes the extraordinary challenges that Portman had to surmount to develop Shanghai Centre, one of China’s most successful mixed-use developments.

Develop and deliver a winning value proposition to convince the Chinese National and Shanghai governments to support Portman for the project
Align with Kajima, one of Japan’s largest construction companies
Develop a consortium of investors (18 banks from 8 countries) whom had wanted to cautiously initiate business within China while at the same time limit their exposure
Negotiating with the Bank of China to assume 70% of debt

It makes one wonder if Jack and Portman would be interested in becoming the first foreign real estate developer inside normalized North Korea?
Topics to Discuss:
Recognizing the tremendous potential in the Pacific Rim
Portman Overseas
Pursuing international real estate development and management of overseas projects

Lee Haney Eight time Mr. Olympia, Fitness Games and Katrina Julia with FIT Life Creation on the Buckhead Business Show

Fri, 16 Aug 2019 14:00:50 GMT

Lee Haney Eight time Mr. Olympia, Fitness Games and Katrina Julia with FIT Life Creation on the Buckhead Business Show
Lee Haney
Lee Haney Enterprises

Lee Haney has more than 30 years of fitness and nutrition experience with eight consecutive World Bodybuilding Championships to his credit. Over the years, Lee has trained professional athletes and celebrities, serving as a consultant for some of the best nutritional supplement companies in the world and was appointed Chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

BECOMING MR. OLYMPIA

In 1991, I Became The First Eight Time Consecutive World Body Building Champion To Win The Covenant MR. OLYMPIA Crown. The Road Getting There Wasn’t Easy. It Took Hard Work, Delayed Gratification, And Above All A Lot Of Prayer.

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to be involved as a consultant with some of the best nutritional supplement companies in the world. Those associations, along with 30+ years of on-the-job experience, have given me a wealth of knowledge – knowledge that can be used in helping you reach your fitness goals. Whether the goal is to lower body fat, add muscle mass, or wanting to tone – I’ve been there, done that!

Why are nutritional supplements so important? Nutritional supplements assist in enhancing valuable nutrients that our bodies need. Nutrients that are lacking in today’s “hurry up and grow it” society. With that being said, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the Lee Haney’s Nutritional Supplement System, formulated with years of knowledge and know how.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Even at age 46, Lee Haney’s Herculean physique mirrors his equally impressive credentials. As the unprecedented winner of eight consecutive Mr. Olympia titles, besting Arnold Schwarzenegger’s seven-file record, Lee is an icon in the fitness industry. Lee was the 1st 8 time Mr. Olympia and the youngest to retire at the age of 31.

Now retired from his historic body building career, Lee’s focus has turned to educating others. Within the sports and fitness arena, Lee is revered among his peers for his comprehensive personal training techniques as well as his contributions to the integrity of exercise in general. Professional athletes and coaches look to Lee for goal-specific sports training and nutrition programs during the off-season and for injury rehabilitation.

Evander Holyfield sought out Lee to run his training programs before fighting in two heavyweight title defenses.
Lee also joined forces with Philadelphia 76er’s Shawn Bradley in order to strengthen and build up the hoopster’s post-injury.
Lee worked with Gary Sheffield to improve his overall performance and transform him from a shortstop into a powerful right fielder.

How does an athlete choose Lee Haney? “I read about him and it was a fantasy of mine to work out with Lee Haney” recalls Sheffield; one of Haney’s many admirers.

Lee’s popularity and respected position within his field have provided him with a lengthy list of awards and recognition including Proclamations from three cities and distinguished acknowledgments from The President’s Council on Physical Fitness, The United States Sports Academy and The International Federation of Body Building.

To Lee, Success is more about fulfillment than trophies or titles, so in 1994, he and his wife purchased a forty acre farm near their home and created the Haney Harvest House, a non-profit retreat facility for children of all races, creeds, and nationalities. “I wanted to be able to give something back. I’ve been so fortunate to have a lot of good things come my way, and it all comes from values I learned from growing up. If we don’t take time now to give some of that back to this generation then when will we?”

Join Lee as he hosts the TOTALEE FIT Radio Show...

Our guest, on the Business Developers Network, Marcos Arias, the Managing Partner & President of CX MD, has over a decade with AT&T as Director of Customer Experience and other senior executive titles.

Graduated with honors from University of Georgia undergrad and law school

Worked for 3 different law firms before becoming a senior associate at Holland & Knight; which is part of your journey we will learn about.

A senior associate at Holland & Knight representing individuals and corporate entities in matters involving complex litigation; government relations at the local, state, and national level; and general business law advice and counsel.

He has significant experience representing emerging and early-stage companies, where he carefully balances providing sufficient legal protection with ensuring adequate resources are available to push a company's product to market.

A rising star in Georgia's government and legal communities: Elected Chair of Georgia Government Transparency & Campaign Finance

And finds the time to give back: He volunteers to be on:
Executive Committee of Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
Georgia Indigent Representation Task Force

Before we follow your career path, tell a bit about Holland & Knight, which is a global law firm with more than 1,300 lawyers with expertise for providing representation in litigation, business, real estate and governmental law.

What brought you to the three law firms before joining Holland & Knight?

Did each in a way influence and prepare you for the next law firm?

What led you to move to different law firms.? This is an important question because one need to know when it is time to move on and not get stuck in a ‘comfortable’ rut.

Artie: I am a serial networker or NetWeaver as I like to be and that’s how I first met you, at a BBA social mixer. How important is networking for you and how much time do you devote to networking?

Networking is more than attending mixers. It was very smart of you when starting out to introduce yourself to incubator companies – as they grow so will your relationship with them.

Has any of them developed into the big time?

You also became involved in politics and government services. And it is good to give back by joining support organizations; and that can also develop relationships; can you share those experiences and in what way do they help grow your practice?

What opportunities are there to develop relations within a large firm like Holland & Knight?

What advice can you offer a young attorney starting out?

What advice can you offer an attorney who might be with a small firm and would like to join a much larger firm?

You have been practicing law for 7 years now, innovation affects every industry and innovation is moving faster than before; what do you ...

Ed Crowell and Nathan Goolsby of Georgia Motor Trucking Association on Business Developers Network

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 14:00:13 GMT

Ed Crowell and Nathan Goolsby of Georgia Motor Trucking Association on Business Developers Network
Industry Associations serve their members in more ways than just promote their members’ businesses; they provide: Best Practices for Business / Networking / Lobbying Local, State & Federal governments for best interests of the industry.

Industry Associations are a business and we are fortunate to have Ed Crowell, President & CEO and Nathan Goolsby, Chief Development Officer of Georgia Motor Trucking Association as guests in our studio to tell us how they manage and have grown Georgia Motor Trucking Association into the 4th largest trucking association in the nation.

Ed Crowell, President and CEO (Pictured on the right)
Georgia Motor Trucking Association

Ed Crowell joined the professional staff of Georgia Motor Trucking Association in late 1992 and has served as its President and CEO since April 1993.

Crowell got his start in trucking when he closed his small freelance public relations and advertising firm to take on a role with what is now the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), then known as the ATA Foundation.

Ed’s political experience was already well-established before he GMTA. He earned a degree in political science from Liberty University and was in the process of adding a masters’ degree from Georgia State University in the same subject. Additionally, Crowell had worked in Washington, both for a U.S. Senator and as a staffer in the Executive Office of the President during the first Reagan Administration.

After two years with ATA, the opportunity to head up GMTA opened and Ed has been serving as GMTA’s President since. Along with fostering more than 25 years of positive legislative changes, Crowell has served on many committees of importance to industry. He has been a member of the national Anti-Terrorism Action Committee, a member of the Industry Policy Committee of the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, as well as a member of Georgia’s Commercial Freight Advisory Committee. Crowell served on Governor Deal’s Severe Weather Advisory Taskforce and served a term as national chairman of the Trucking Association Executives Council (the group of all the trucking associations in country).

More locally, Ed has been involved in his Cobb County community as well. When his children were young he was a youth soccer coach. He has served in a variety of capacities in his local church over the years (from teacher to deacon) and served on the Cobb County Neighborhood Safety Commission until his election to the Board of Cobb EMC, the nation’s fourth largest electric cooperative. He is also on the Board of Gas South, one of the state’s leading gas marketing companies.

Georgia Motor Trucking Association

Nathan Goolsby serves as the Chief Development Officer for the Georgia Motor Trucking Association. Nathan’s responsibilities include managing membership recruitment for both carriers and industry vendors, event sponsorships and marketing, managing and creating affinity programs, as well as developing new ways of engaging the next generation in the trucking industry.

Scott Lowery, Back to Square One on Capital Club Radio

Sun, 24 Mar 2019 12:00:15 GMT

Scott Lowery, Back to Square One on Capital Club Radio

Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Scott Lowery, a well-known leader and successful entrepreneur in the debt buying industry.

Scott, throughout his tenure, was the Founder, CEO, President and Chairman of SquareTwo Financial Corporation, originally known as Collect America, LTD, headquartered in Denver, CO which became one of the top debt buyers in the United States and Canada. Under Scott’s guidance as CEO, thecompany grew to over 25 franchised law firms across the US, over 100 local counsel legal firms in the network and revenue consistently exceeding $300M annually, with its top annual revenue number just under 600 million. Prior to the financial crisis, Collect America was in talks for an IPO with a valuation approaching $1.4B. After a new CEO took charge, the financial performance declined severely and SquareTwo filed bankruptcy in 2017 and was ultimately sold to Resurgent Capital Services, LP, a subsidiary of Sherman Financial Group.

In 2018, Scott and his team acquired Galaxy Capital Acquisition, LLC which is a debt buyer and master servicer located in Atlanta, GA. Additionally, Scott is an attorney at Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson and Horniek, LLC, based in Wisconsin. Scott discusses how he goes back to “square one” with his new platform Galaxy.

Scott currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Valor Christian High School, the Daniels School of Business Executive Advisory Board, the Colorado UpLift Board of Directors and Executive Board and the ACE Scholarships Board of Trustees. He also served on the Denver Hospice Board of Directors and the Investment Committee.

Scott earned a BS degree in Business Administration and a JD degree from the University of Denver. In 2004, he was the recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Scott and his wife reside in Denver and are the proud parents of three daughters.

Here is a glimpse of what Scott shared in the interview:

“…. success is not linear, It’s not a direct trade-off. So, you can do 90% of the work and still have zero or five or 10% of the success. Then suddenly it trips.”

“… so this “square one”, a re-do or encore is just a way to gather again great people and work with some fun people. And I love the business … There are so many levers to pull.”

About building culture: “I think it’s simple and it’s hard. The things you learned in elementary school, how to play well with others in the sand box. You’ve got to genuinely like people. You’ve got to genuinely respect people. You’ve got to have people believe in your vision and believe in you, and then they’ll push you.”

FirstLight Home Care, TeamLogic IT and Corporate Financial Options on Franchise Business Radio

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 14:00:24 GMT

FirstLight Home Care, TeamLogic IT and Corporate Financial Options on Franchise Business Radio

Greg Benage
FirstLight Home Care of Northwest Atlanta

Greg Benage spent the past ten years with U.S. Bank in several product management roles within the retail payments business. He managed credit card loyalty marketing for five years, small business credit card product for three years, and consumer credit card product for the last two years. His responsibilities included product strategy and new product development, marketing strategy, market and competitive intelligence, and customer engagement and loyalty initiatives. Prior to joining the bank, Greg spent more than ten years in small business, first as an entrepreneur and then as an executive with the company he sold his business to. Greg earned his bachelor’s degree from Tulane University and is pursuing an MBA at the University of Georgia.

Maria Benage hails from Moscow, Russian Federation, and spent three years working as a nurse after graduating medical college. She then returned to school, earning a master’s degree in English language and linguistics from Moscow State Pedagogical University. Upon graduation, she worked as a translator and in business support roles with several international companies and law firms with offices in Moscow. After immigrating to the U.S., she worked for three years in client services and procurement with a company that imported books and journals from publishers in Europe and Asia for academic and research libraries, including the Library of Congress.

Greg and Maria have shared the goal of owning and growing their own business for several years. Both have been caregivers for aging loved ones, and non-medical home care was always at the top of their list of potential business opportunities. Greg’s mother lived with the couple for the last four years of her life, and both Greg and Maria served as her primary caregivers during this time. In the last four months of her life she was in and out of the hospital and rehab, and Greg and Maria gained firsthand experience with the in-home care industry. Before immigrating to the U.S., Maria lived with her grandmother and was her primary caregiver for many years following the untimely death of Maria’s mother.

For Greg and Maria, the potential for return on investment and long-term growth and profitability are important considerations in any business opportunity, but the decision is also a personal one born from these experiences with Greg’s mother and Maria’s grandmother. They feel a deep sense of empathy for those who need some extra help and companionship, and they understand from their own experiences the stress and anxiety borne by family members who want to know that their loved ones are getting the care they need. Greg and Maria also want to build a business that has a purpose beyond profit and loss, one that makes a positive contribution to their community.

When Greg and Maria communicated these goals and desires to their franchise broker, Pamela Currie, she came back with one recommendation in the home care space: FirstLight. Greg and Maria believe this is because the company’s core values, its purpose and its “why,” are so closely aligned with their own. As the process has unfolded, Greg and Maria have also been impressed with the experience and vision of the executive management team, and with the fact that everyone with FirstLight they’ve spoken to has continued to emphasize those core values, that purpose, and the ways in which they guide everything the company does and how it does them. Based on their experience with FirstLight Home Care to date, Greg and Maria are not surprised by the excellent satisfaction ratings the company has earned from franchisees.

Greg and Maria have been married for twelve years and live in Smyrna, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.

Topics to Discuss:
What we do for candidates
Why franchising is a great opportunity
Recent strategic partnership with Franbrokers & what that means

Marcia Mead, VP of Franchise Recruiting

Marcia Mead serves as Vice President of Franchise Recruiting of Outdoor Living Brands since January 2018, a multi-brand franchise company dedicated to products and services within the outdoor living market, which currently includes leading brands Archadeck, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Renew Crew, and Conserva Irrigation. As Vice President, Ms. Mead is responsible for the leadership of the franchise recruiting team that builds franchise growth across all four brands.

While Ms. Mead may be new to Outdoor Living Brands, she is not new to franchising as she brings over 18 years of experience in franchising to this role. Ms. Mead served as a member of the executive team of PuroClean as Vice President of Franchise Development, where she led a team of 6 and PuroClean’s franchise development efforts for three years. Prior to this role, Ms. Mead served First Service Corporation at Floor Coverings International as Director of Franchise Development from October 2011 to December 2014 and as Operations Manager from February 2009 to October 2011 and with CertaPro Painters as National Accounts Manager from October 2007 to October 2008 and as Franchise Recruiter from October 2004 to October 2007.

Ms. Mead has a bachelor’s degree in business with an emphasis in marketing and management from Baker University in Baldwin City, KS. She resides in Atlanta, GA.

Topics to Discuss:
I'm open to suggestions for a fresh angle. Last time, we highlighted the brands and didn't go very deep. Since Spring is forthcoming, maybe it's about how our businesses get very busy this time of year as homeowners start surveying their homes for this year's projects. Or, maybe a green angle? 3 out of 4 of our brands have a green story? Or, maybe we go deeper with one brand?

J. J. Haas Author of Welcome to Sugarville on Author Talk Show

Thu, 24 Jan 2019 07:00:31 GMT

J. J. Haas Author of Welcome to Sugarville on Author Talk Show

Guest BIO:
J. J. Haas, author of Welcome to Sugarville, has published fiction and poetry in a wide variety of magazines such as Shenandoah, Rattle, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Asimov's Science Fiction, Baen's Universe, and Writer's Digest. He is a Senior Content Developer at ADP and a Fellow of the Society for Technical Communication, and he has been an Instructor in the Creative Writing Certificate Program at Emory Continuing Education. Haas is a graduate of the College of the University of Chicago in English Language and Literature and a Past President of the Alumni Club of Atlanta. He lives in a suburb of Atlanta with his wife Melissa and two Westies, Roro and Coco.

Brief Description:
Welcome to Sugarville: A Novel in Stories

Topics to Discuss:
My book
Creative writing in general

1.What is the name of the book and when was it published?
Welcome to Sugarville: A Novel in Stories will be published on April 9 in softcover, ebook, and audiobook formats following the book launch at The Carter Center in Atlanta. I recorded the audiobook myself after turning our daughter’s old closet into a recording studio, and ACX recently approved the files for upload to Audible.com.

2.What’s the book’s first line?
The first line of the first story is “Dr. Albert Cole woke up thirsty,” which serves as a metaphor for the spiritual paucity of the protagonist. Kurt Vonnegut once said “Make your characters want something right away even if it's only a glass of water.” I decided to take that advice literally.

3.What’s the book about? Give us the “pitch”.
Welcome to Sugarville, a town where fantasy meets reality and visitors take journeys of the imagination into the unknown. J. J. Haas stuns and delights with this engaging collection of linked stories.

4.What inspired you to write the book? A particular person? An event?
My primary inspiration for writing fiction is the black humor of Kurt Vonnegut and Flannery O’Connor. I particularly like the surface simplicity of their writing coupled with the deeper metaphorical and ironic meaning. I modeled the structure of my collection on Sherwood Anderson’s book Winesburg, Ohio, with each story set in the mythical town of Sugarville, Georgia. Thematically, all of the characters embark on spiritual journeys to find themselves, and each story contains a fantastic element that heightens the drama.

5.What’s the main reason someone should really read this book?
People should be interested in reading my book because it will make them laugh and give them something to think about. I hope they’ll take away a renewed interest in examining their own lives by vicariously experiencing the events in this book through the eyes of my characters. While fantasy stories are typically set in an imagined past and science-fiction stories are typically set in an imagined future, these stories are set in a re-imagined present that sheds light on the spiritual dilemmas of our time.

6.(*For fictional titles only) What's the most distinctive thing about the main character? Who-real or fictional-would you say the character reminds you of?
I affectionately refer to the characters in my book as my “Sugarvillains.” They aren’t really bad people at all, but lost souls searching for meaning and dignity in their lives with sometimes comic, sometimes tragic results. All of the characters are based on people I’ve met in real life, but the names have been changed to protect the guilty....

Brandt Gully Owner of The Springs Cinema & Taphouse on Georgia Business Radio

Brandt Gully, Owner
The Springs Cinema & Taphouse

Brief Description of Service:
Hollywood Blockbusters to Indie Films and Classics

After having spent his entire career providing financial advisory services to more than 100 movie theatre operators coast-to-coast, Atlanta area native, Brant Gully has purchased Sandy Springs’ LeFont Theater. His first step in purchasing the theater was changing the name to The Springs Cinema & Taphouse, and he has plans in place for making the theater one of the premiere entertainment venues in the Atlanta Metropolitan area.

Most recently, as co-founder and partner at investment banking firm, EFA Partners, Gully helps entertainment and theater owners raise money to buy, renovate, or build theatres and sell their companies. So when he learned that George LeFont was interested in selling this beloved neighborhood cinema, Gully jumped at the opportunity.

Since purchasing the theater in November, Gully has embarked upon a complete overhaul of the eight-screen theater: replacing all seats with the city’s only luxury heated, electric recliners, as well as implementing reserved seating, improving the sound system and lighting, constructing point of sale terminals inside the building, laying new flooring and creating a cutting-edge esthetic throughout the building. Additionally, he is adding a full bar in the lobby, crafting a face-lift for the building facade, and increasing food and beverage offerings.
“My goal at The Springs is to maintain the selection of quality films that the theater has been known for, as well as expanding programming to include unique art house films, blockbusters, fan favorites, children’s programming and even creating a setting for business presentations and events,” states Gully. “Listening to our loyal followers is essential to me and I have heard what changes are important to them, as well as what people want to stay the same. What our guests will see at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse will absolutely reflect these requests,” concludes Gully.

The Springs Theater & Taphouse is located at 5920 Roswell Road, Suite C103 in Sandy Springs. For up to the minute movie information, please call 404.255.0100 and 404.255.0140 for the theater office. The theater is open seven days a week, from 11am until 11pm Monday through Sunday. For more information, please visit http://www.springscinema.com

Topics to Discuss:
The change of the old LeFont Theater to The Springs Cinema and all that that entails:
* New luxury, heated recliners
* Guests can reserve their Seat
* Larger Screens and State-of-the-art Sound System
* Children's ticket pricing is just $7.50
* Full Bar - including a large selection of wines and local beers
* New Food Options by the end of the year
* Brand New Lobby by year's end
* Offering Event Space for Corporate Presentations and parties
* All new restrooms and air-conditioning system

Dream On 3, Enduring Hearts and Serv International on NonProfits Radio

Michelle Cline, Executive Director
Dream On 3

After 22 years as a public educator (high school teacher and principal), Michelle found the perfect vehicle to truly impact the culture of high schools. As the Executive Director of Dream On 3, she combines her doctorate in educational leadership, her practical experience of working within schools, and her passion for impacting change.

Carolyn Salvador
Executive Director, Enduring Hearts

Before I went to work for Enduring Hearts, a 501 C3 non-profit started here in Ga, I thought that a heart transplant was the "cure". I had no idea that a transplant was only a bridge to life and that on average a heart transplant lasted only 10-12 years.

Image a child with heart failure, waiting for another child to die so they can get their new heart. It is really unthinkable as a parent. Although congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect, impacting 1 out of 1000 children, very little research has been put forth around children with heart disease and specifically those that have late stage failure and need a heart transplant.

Enduring Hearts is funding innovative pediatric heart transplant research nationally to help make that transplant the cure and give children the chance to live long happy lives. In fact our scientific advisory committee has identified $3.1M that they believe we need to fund over the next several years to answer questions that can save lives.

Chef Jamie Adams with il Giallo Osteria and Bar on Food and Beverage Radio

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 15:00:37 GMT

Chef Jamie Adams with il Giallo Osteria and Bar on Food and Beverage Radio

Chef Jamie Adams
il Giallo Osteria & Bar

The youngest of five children born in Atlanta, Jamie Adams was intrigued by every aspect of Italian culture - from its cars to its language; from its people to its food. His passion for Italian cuisine was fueled by his mother, a native of New Orleans and fabulous cook in her own right. To this day, Jamie’s fondest memories are of cooking in the kitchen with his mother, or at relatives’ homes and kitchens in New Orleans, where his family visited regularly.

While studying music, biology, and English literature at Georgia State University, Adams simultaneously worked for The Mad Italian Restaurant in Atlanta. It was here that he realized his profound appetite for the restaurant business: the desire to immerse himself into Italian cuisine and great hospitality began to smolder.

Fanning these flames was the fact that his siblings, who had traveled to Italy, came home with stories of meals they had enjoyed in quaint Italian towns. These stories and his love for Italian cuisine led him to create his own Italian adventure. “In 1985, I found myself in the Mestre train station with a 200 Lire Gettone in my hand, hoping against hope that someone on the other end could speak English,” reflects Adams. “Thus began an almost five year stint that was supposed to only be one. I went on to find and work in many of the places that I had heard so many stories about and I made friendships and connections that forever changed the course of my life,” he recalls.

Upon returning to Atlanta, Adams received several offers to cook in the city’s top Italian kitchens, but immediately knew that working at Pricci (then Cappriccio), the Italian crown jewel of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, was the perfect setting for his talents. Adams impressed owner Pano Karatassos, by making several pasta dishes from scratch just like his time in Italy at several Michelin starred restaurants. He was given the title of Sous Chef and thus began a more than 20 year relationship with Pano and his prestigious restaurant group.
In 1993, the company took over Veni Vidi Vici and Adams was named Executive Chef. The restaurant was formerly owned by one of the gran dames of Italian cuisine, Marcela Hazan, coincidentally, one of Adams’ most profound culinary influencers.

Adams left BLRG for a short while, when he opened the boutique restaurant, ENO in Midtown Atlanta. In addition to an economic downturn, during this time, Adams was as he refers to it, “the lucky recipient of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts, fondly referred to as “Cabbage-CABG,” also known as a quadruple bypass. After taking some time off to recuperate, as a compliment to the long-time, mutually respectful business relationship between Pano and Adams, the Chef was asked to rejoin the Veni Vidi Vici team.

While at Veni Vidi Vici, Adams realized that he and restaurant General Manager, Leonardo Moura, shared a mutual desire to create and run their own Italian restaurant. Adams and Moura shared their dream with Pano Karatassos, and it was decided that Veni Vidi Vici would close, enabling the pair to open their own restaurant. In creating il Giallo Osteria and Bar (meaning both yellow and mystery in Italian), the passion and experience Adams obtained in Italy will fuse together in this Coastal Italian restaurant in the upscale Sandy Springs neighborhood.
Adams has been a featured chef at The James Beard House in New York, competed in The Food Network’s “Chopped,” selected to participate in a TBS-TV “Super Chef Cook Off”, and was highlighted on “Great Chefs of the South, and “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.” In addition to building a loyal following and maintaining his great health as an avid cyclist, Chef Adams is exceptionally proud of his fundraising efforts for many organizations ...

From Boy Scouts to The Citadel, Life-Long Principles, Processes and Discipline that Drive Success. Damon Edmondson on Capitol Club Radio

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 19:00:51 GMT

From Boy Scouts to The Citadel, Life-Long Principles, Processes and Discipline that Drive Success. Damon Edmondson on Capitol Club Radio.

Join Michael Flock as he interviews Damon Edmondson. Damon is the Chief of Analytics at FLOCK Specialty Finance based in Atlanta, Georgia, a growing finance company that provides access to capital beyond the traditional banking system to underserved markets and assets classes. Damon discusses how the principles, processes and discipline he learned as a Boy Scout, at military school and at The Citadel helped him launch his successful career. He brings out personal and professional experiences to illustrate how he shares his analytical knowledge with FLOCK clients to help them grow their businesses successfully.

Prior to joining FLOCK, Damon was Senior VP of Analytics at Eltman, Eltman & Cooper Capital Management where he oversaw the analysis and reporting of the financial performance of purchased portfolios. Additionally, he was the Senior Director of Portfolio Administration at Outsourcing Solutions, Inc. for the Portfolio Services Division. He started his career at ValuJet Airlines as a Senior Analyst of Pricing.

Damon earned a BA degree from The Citadel. He has spent decades as a volunteer leader for the Boy Scouts of America in various duties and he currently serves on the Atlanta Area Council Strategic Planning Committee, Assistant Council Commissioner and as a Crew Advisor. He and his wife reside in Atlanta and are the proud parents of three sons, all of whom achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.

Here is a glimpse of what Damon shared in the interview.

“…it’s those sorts of people who take you under their wing, and mentor you and help you to see that learning self-discipline, self-control, thinking through things before you react emotionally to something, and always looking at the overall mission is something that you’re looking for.”

“The key thing, I think, is that as you go through those steps, that you respect the process, and whatever the answer is, is whatever the answer is.”

“So, you need to stick to your guns and have the courage of your convictions to hold true.”

“which is the nature of the Eagle Scout project. To learn to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent…”

Amazon FBA, Mobile Fuel and Security At Your Fingertips on CoFounders Podcast

Amazon FBA, Mobile Fuel and Security At Your Fingertips on CoFounders Podcast

Chirag T. Patel
Co-Founder
Amazon Take Action! and Startup Development Institute

My name is Chirag T. Patel and I was born in Drumright, Oklahoma. When I turned 3 years old I moved to a small city in Georgia called Milledgeville. My mother was born in New Zealand and my father was born in India. In 1979 my father came to America to pursue a new life and the American Dream. My mother also moved to America during the same time who was brought here by my grandfather to pursue a better life for my mother and her sisters and brothers. During this time my parents had not met yet. My parents were like many immigrant families that came to America who had a dollar and the dream, well more like $10 for my dad.
Being the first generation of Indians who immigrated to the US they did not know anything or anyone. Through word of mouth my father and mother were introduced and like the Indian culture they were married within a week in a arranged marriage. Today all that has changed, believe me, I am married and she didn’t say yes until three years later, but that’s another story!

Not knowing how my parents were going to survive, make money, raise a family and get a piece of the American pie. They went straight to work at a small independent motel making minimum wage. Then everything changed-- I was born! Not knowing how they would survive and raise a family on minimum wage they took a leap of faith. From the money they saved and getting a loan they moved 926 miles from Cushing, OK to Milledgeville, GA and bought a small motel called Royal Inn on the not-so-great part of town.

Now my parents didn't know anything about ROI, PnLs, customer service, or managing a motel. They didn't go to college for this. All they knew was working hard and HUSTLE! They knew if you worked hard at something then results will follow. But little did they know, they instantly became entrepreneurs!

For the first few years business was slow, but knowing there was no turning back they had to make it happen by any means necessary. So the next thing they did was the greatest entrepreneurial idea that my parents ever came up with. To their credit probably the best idea they ever had! They decided to build a liquor store within the motel! You heard right, a drive through/walk in liquor store. So now customers can buy their favorite drink and rent a room without ever drinking and driving!

Business went up ten fold! Now people could come and buy liquor which in turn was free marketing to the motel. This move brought a lot of business to the motel and we were renting rooms left and right. Or I guess you can say we were in the business of preventing drinking and driving!

My sister and I grew up at the Royal Inn, it was the place we called home. We played, ate, slept and slumber partied with our friends. Yes, our friends always asked why we lived in a motel since they all lived in normal houses, but it was all we knew and growing up everyday was a adventure.

From the time I was 12 years old I started helping my parents operate the motel and the liquor store. Well, I didn't have much of a choice because (1.) I lived in the motel and (2.) my parents made me! So even before I was a teenager the entrepreneur spirit was instilled in me.

When I turned 18 I was more than ready to get out of Milledgeville. Although I think it's the greatest city in the world! I was ready for bigger and better things. I moved to Atlanta and attended Georgia State University. Throughout Middle School, High School and College I knew I wanted to own my own business so I just needed to figure out exactly what I wanted to do. To make a long story short I became a Headhunter and worked both sides of the industry including the agency and corporate side.

Two Under-Served Areas of the Insurance Marketplace on Buckhead Business Show

Tue, 04 Dec 2018 15:30:19 GMT

Two Under-Served Areas of the Insurance Marketplace on Buckhead Business Show

Buz McOmber
McOmber Insurance
My family began in the insurance business in 1893 with my grandfather, Fred T. McOmber. He and my father built one of the largest independent insurance agencies in Michigan through their focus on honesty, great customer service, community involvement and making policy holders the center of everything they did. That’s the world I grew up in and those are the values I carry forward with me to this day. My business career in multiple industries over 45 years has as its foundation the desire to make my clients more effective, their businesses function more successfully and always doing the right thing on their behalf.

I have a degree in investment finance from Miami University (Ohio) and spent my first five years out of college as a Naval Officer serving shipboard out of Norfolk, VA and as base Supply Officer & Comptroller at the ammunition depot on Guam. I spent 28 years in the technology industry, working in large systems for IBM, followed by a role as a leader in a desktop systems integration and leasing firm and then finally as a sales leader managing relationships with Gartner, Inc.’s largest clients including GM, Sara Lee, Ford, Chrysler and Coca Cola.

I was driven to enter the “family business” by my desire to help those who struggle to find affordable health insurance as well as long term care insurance that makes financial sense. I take community involvement seriously having served on the inaugural Executive Board of the Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce, working on Habitat for Humanity home builds, and mission work in Tanzania.

My wife Kimberly & I have been married for 46 year and are the parents of three wonderful children and now enjoy six grandchildren.

Brief Description of Product or Service:
Focused on two under-served areas of the insurance marketplace:

1) Health coverage for the small/medium sized business (5 & up) and also those larger business where they have individuals who can't afford the group plan offered by the employer. I also serve larger companies that are self-funded to help them manage there routine medical costs which fall straight to the bottom line.

2) The long term care market has been in disarray because of carriers leaving the market and large increases in premiums. I offer a hybrid life/long term care product from a large A+ rated company that provides 2x the face value of the underlying life policy for a price only slightly above what a life policy costs. It's also guaranteed issue for groups of 5 employees & up - up to $100K ($200K LTC). This provides smaller companies with the ability to offer a benefit that few others do and for the average person who thought they couldn't afford either life or long term care insurance to have both.

Our insurance products are excellent fits for the markets I have identified because they all struggle with offering affordable, accessible and simple to use health coverage. The hybrid Life/Long Term Care product addresses the shrinking number of providers and the many broken promises of affordable premiums to help people in their later years.

Topics to Discuss:
State of both health ins mkt and Long Term Care mkt
Who we serve, why & how we add value
Why limited medical plans
Why hybrid Life/LTC
What sets us apart

Mike first learned financial analysis skills at Partners First Holdings where he managed the financial aspect of its outsourcing relationship with FDR. He also had gained valuable exposure to advertising principles when he started his career at MBNA managing major advertising campaigns including the launch of the Platinum Card.

Michael Hollingsworth: Attorney, Son of an Entrepreneur and Now, Servant to Entrepreneurs

Michael Flock, of FLOCK Specialty Finance, speaks with Michael Hollingsworth of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough. Hollingsworth shares his insights on being a “Trusted Advisor” for his clients by helping his clients avoid the traditional pitfalls and obstacles that present themselves during the deal making process through the use of his experience and common sense.

As co-head of the Mergers & Acquisitions and Investment Management Groups, Michael’s focus is on middle-market corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. He also serves on the firm’s Executive Committee, which is the governing body of seven partners who oversee the firm’s standing committees, strategic initiatives and operations.

He received a Master of Laws in Taxation from the University of Alabama School of Law, a JD from Samford University Cumberland School of Law, and a BA from Tulane University in Political Science. He serves on the board of trustees for the Woodruff Arts Center and The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, and is also a board member of the Tulane Fund.

Here is a glimpse of what Michael shared in the interview:

“Everyone can study and learn the law, but how to apply it…and number one, develop a relationship with a client so that you can help them.”

“Law firms are either on the same side of the table as their client or they’re on the opposite side of the table”

“Clients hire lawyers, not law firms.”

“Life is a gift, and when you think of life as a gift, then it changes your outlook on even the worst days.”

Institutional Executive to Growth Entrepreneur John Coffin Interview on Capital Club Radio

Thu, 20 Sep 2018 17:00:20 GMT

Institutional Executive to Growth Entrepreneur John Coffin Interview on Capital Club Radio

Here is a glimpse of what John shared in the interview:

“I actually got into banking totally by mistake or kismet…through that process, that six month training class, decided I loved business and I loved banking.”

“… learned a lot about life in the Boy Scouts. About challenges and overcoming obstacles and pushing yourself further than maybe you’d think you were capable of.”

“… that’s something that our generation can learn from the millennials, their willingness to try different things and not be so locked into one career.”

Please join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews “growth” entrepreneur, John Coffin.

John is the Co-Founder of Practical Growth Advisors (PGA) which is a consulting and advisory firm focused on serving privately held companies and helping them grow faster with confidence. John discusses his transformation from successful institutional executive to small business advisor and creative entrepreneur. He shares his great range of valuable experiences, both personal and professional, and how he’s leveraging these to help guide middle market companies towards achieving their growth goals today.

Prior to founding PGA, John was the Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of Atlantic Capital Bank. He oversaw the Bank’s Regional Corporate Banking, Financial Institutions and Capital Markets divisions. Atlantic Capital is the largest startup bank in US history with an initial capital raise of $125MM. After opening in May of 2007, Atlantic Capital quickly grew to become a $2.9 billion bank, primarily by executing the core strategy of serving the finance and banking needs of growing, privately-held companies. John earned a BA degree in English from Dartmouth College and received a MBA from Columbia University Graduate School of Business. John was an Eagle Scout and is currently a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America. He is active in various civic activities and resides with his wife and three children in Atlanta, GA.

Chairman / Partner at Sterling Seacrest Partners

Brief Description of Product or Service:
Sterling Seacrest Partners is a top-ranked insurance brokerage and consulting firm. The company serves a wide range of clients with complex property/casualty, employee benefit and personal insurance needs.

Topics to Discuss:
Distracted driving and businesses. Most of the discussion since the new law was passed has centered around what individual drivers can and cannot do with their phone while driving. But it’s vital for businesses to have a strong plan for their employees.

In our 24-hour workplace, with employees always potentially just a call or text away, every company should have policies in place to make sure their employees are abiding by the law and are safe.

Leaders must set the tone for safe driving at their companies. It’s not just one tactic. This should be a multi-pronged approach that ingrains safety into your company culture.
1.Talk About It - Make conversations about safe driving a regular part of new employee orientations, quarterly company meetings, more.
2.Training - Safe driving should be a part of the “new employee” training, and should be incorporated into larger training sessions.
3.Enforcement - The culture must be clear about enforcement. Employees must understand that the policy is real or it’ll have no value.
4.Walk the Talk - It is important that the company actually live its plan.

Announcing the release of a new book "The Power of Human Connection!"
How Relationship Marketing is Transforming the Way People Succeed
When most people see the term relationship marketing, they tend to focus more on the second word than on the first. They want to know how they can market to get more business. But increasingly, the business world is beginning to realize the key to building business is creating genuine relationships, appreciating your customers and clients, and networking to give.

The key is to focus on relationship 80 percent of the time and marketing 20 percent of the time. Kody highlights many success stories from people across a wide range of business niches who have implemented his relationship marketing principles with tremendous success.

A Numbers Game — The Real Petty Card-Based Dating Sim

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 18:00:04 GMT

"Modern Dating is a Joke, Why Not Treat it as One!"
A Numbers Game — The Real Petty Card-based Dating Sim

Interview with Mattie Rosen about ANumbersGame.me

Origin of the Game
Started as a game that would elicit regret, as players would only be able to learn the information about characters they dumped after becoming exclusive with someone else. Our lead developer, Ryan Zubery, had been rejected again and he was feeling super down about it. So, instead of moping and scrolling through Tinder, he came up with this incredible game!

Moving to 499
As A Numbers Game moved from this Introduction to Game Design class to Polishing and Publishing, we moved into a different direction that would comment more on the difficulties of modern dating. We want our players to reach inwards and find their pettiest, most judgmental selves to really mirror how excruciating modern dating is. We wanted to get away from the idea that players were going to be emotionally invested in these possible dates, too. Instead, we want our players to shut off those emotions and focus on finding the hottest, most socially acceptable date.

What is A Numbers Game?
A Numbers Game is a competitive card based dating sim where you and another person play as petty, image obsessed young adults who want a more socially desirable date than the other person so they can feel superior.
When you’re an image obsessed young adult who wants a better date than the other person, dating is just A Numbers Game. Play against your friend in a competitive card based dating sim - Are you in?

Branding and Outreach
We like to say we’re a game made by millennials, for millennials. A Numbers Game is a very topical game that makes fun of and sheds light on the issues that modern dating has come across, especially online dating. However, unlike other games that satirize dating, A Numbers Game has a more cynically realistic and humorous tone. It’s also different because players get to build their dates throughout the game, versus meeting them or having an entire profile handed to them. Due to the nature of the game, players can come up with millions of combinations to create unique, and equally hilarious and cringy, dates with each play.

Meet the Team:
A Numbers Game began as one of Ryan Zubery projects in the University of Southern California's Game Design Workshop class; the game was centered around the concepts of regret and dating since Ryan had recently been rejected (again) and was mopey. Quiana Dang joined the team for the game's final project version, and later on, Mimi Zambetti, Mattie Rosen joined as the game transitioned from a simple project to a game in USC's Finishing and Polishing class.

Rejecting Retirement and Creating Community in the Cloud Carl Harkleroad with Imagine.Cloud on Capital Club Radio

Mon, 16 Jul 2018 18:30:44 GMT

Rejecting Retirement and Creating Community in the Cloud Carl Harkleroad with Imagine.Cloud on Capital Club Radio

Join Michael Flock, of FLOCK Specialty Finance, as he speaks with Carl Harkleroad. Carl is the founder of Latitude Software, the once upstart, but now a highly regarded and universally recognized collection software platform. Today, Carl is launching a new enterprise, Imagined.Cloud, a software development company based in Jacksonville, Florida, that is focused on building cloud-based applications and services for the ARM industry. Carl and his new partner, Jonathan Ohlrich, have joined forces to create Imagined.Cloud and believe it will offer collection and agency management solutions to creditors & collection agencies and master servicers.

During the first 20 years of Carl’s career he was focused on operations in data center management. In 1973, Carl began writing commercial software for the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C. During his time in D.C. he worked on several projects including “The Walter Mondale for President Campaign”. Carl is the former CEO and President of Latitude Software. He has more than 45 years of experience developing software products, of which the last 34 years have been focused on the ARM industry. Before founding Latitude Software in 1997, Carl had served as Vice President of IT at Capital Credit Corporation, Corliss Credit Services, Inc., The Master Collectors, and Nationwide Credit. In addition, Carl served as the Vice President of Central Credit Services, Inc.

Here is a glimpse of what Carl shared in the interview:

“…we didn’t have anything in writing. I learned that lesson…having all those things, the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed make the whole process a lot easier.”

“We introduced all of those customers to each other through our user group and built this big
community of people.”

“We probably have two competitors. But I equate them to the Titanic, we’re a bunch of guys on jet skis and we can move a lot quicker and nimbler that they can and the technology we’re using lets us do that.”

Andrew Dietz A Subversive in Brooks Brothers Clothing Interview on Capital Club Radio

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 14:00:39 GMT

Andrew Dietz A Subversive in Brooks Brothers Clothing Interview on Capital Club Radio

Michael Flock spends time speaking with businessman, consultant, author and community leader, Andrew Dietz, about the power of relationships, branding and how to create a strong internal and external culture.

Andrew Dietz, Founder of Creative Growth and Co-Founder of Creative Influence, a sales-enabled public relations content firm for business-to-business organizations. His clients have included firms such as Deloitte, Grant Thornton, Gensler, Perkins + Will, Wells Fargo Insurance, Chubb, Avanade (Accenture), Edelman Public Relations, Microsoft Professional Services, Cushman & Wakefield, Jones Lang LaSalle and many more.

Andrew is an industry-recognized expert on B2B Services strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketing and revenue growth. He is a frequent contributing writer and speaker on marketing and management issues for national business publications and associations. In 2014, McGraw-Hill published Andrew’s book, The Opening Playbook: A Professional’s Guide to Building Relationships That Grow Revenue.

Prior to launching Creative Growth in 2003, Andrew was a consultant with Egon Zehnder International, one of the world’s leading human capital advisory and executive search firms. He co-founded netWorth Partners, a Private Equity investment firm affiliated with Mellon Bank, and he served as CEO of SideTalk and successfully executed its sale to a publicly traded entity. Additionally, Andrew was a founding member of BellSouth’s Internet service provider, BellSouth.net, where he served as VP, Product Marketing and led the marketing launch of BellSouth’s broadband service.

Andrew lives in Atlanta, GA where his community leadership has focused on building the city’s creative community. He has served on the Board of Directors for the Anti-Defamation League, Atlanta College of Art, IMAGE Film and Video (Atlanta Film Festival), High Museum’s Contemporary Art Society, Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and of VOX Teen Communications. He also wrote the nationally acclaimed book, The Last Folk Hero – A True Story of Race and Art, Power and Profit which championed raw creative talent in the world of outsider art. (Ellis Lane Press, 2006)

Here is a glimpse of what Andrew shared in the interview:

“I was different. I’m a subversive in Brooks Brothers clothing, so I didn’t think that I would be accepted at BellSouth. But that was a really great environment for me. I say, especially early in your career, you want three things, network, name and knowledge.”

“…as I look at you and your business, you’ve built tremendous relationships as your team with people in the market. So, it does exist, but there is a reputation you’re dealing with. And that reputation certainly is translated to consumer relationships.”

“…relationships are built, we could say one conversation at a time. Great conversations start with curiosity, genuine curiosity.”

“And Steve Ross said 10% thinking, 90% doing. Strategy before tactics doesn’t mean you over think, but you have got to put a little time in, aiming before firing.”

Team Rubicon and Bonus RUUM Discuss Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief on the Rich Hart Show

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 15:30:55 GMT

Team Rubicon and Bonus RUUM Discuss Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief on the Rich Hart Show

Joe Messere
Deputy Director of Region Operations, Southeast
Team Rubicon USA

About Joe:
NonProfit Executive, Veteran, Entrepreneur. Making a difference in people's lives every day through disaster response and veteran reintegration. Passionate for our dual mission of disaster relief and veteran reintegration. Accountable for implementation of national programs, division strategies, and meeting regional recruiting, training and engagement goals. Ensures sustained readiness, growthand engagement of the volunteer base within the region. Drives excellence, innovation and communication among the regional team, with and across state teams, and with other regions. Accelerates regional development through process creation, standardization, training, and distribution of case studies and best practices.

About Team Rubicon USA:

Team Rubicon focuses on serving vulnerable and at-risk populations affected by disaster. While the initial damage and trauma of natural disasters will impact any population regardless of socio-economic factors, the financial burden of recovery and rebuilding has dramatic and long-lasting repercussions on many rural and urban populations lacking proper insurance and public and private resources.

All Team Rubicon services are provided free of charge.
In 2016, 62 percent of all homes Team Rubicon serviced did not have home insurance. An American Progress report noted that the most extreme weather events typically harmed counties with household incomes below the U.S. median annual income of $51,941. Wildfires, tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms devastated areas with households that earned on average three percent less than the U.S. median income. It is easy to imagine the positive, long-term impact Team Rubicon’s free assistance provided to these families.

Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams. Team Rubicon’s primary mission is providing disaster relief to those affected by natural disasters, be they domestic or international. By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, Team Rubicon aims to provide the greatest service and impact possible.

Through continued service, Team Rubicon seeks to provide our veterans with three things they lose after leaving the military: a purpose, gained through disaster relief; community, built by serving with others; and identity, from recognizing the impact one individual can make. Coupled with leadership development and other opportunities, Team Rubicon looks to help veterans transition from military to civilian life.

Serving the Underserved
Across the world, disasters are a part of life. No corner of the globe is spared from severe weather – be it crippling winter storms, catastrophic hurricanes, or unchecked wildfires.

By focusing on underserved or economically-challenged communities, Team Rubicon seeks to makes the largest impact possible. Disasters represent a massive financial cost, and by providing immediate relief work, free of cost, TR aims to help communities begin recovery sooner.

Georgia Manufacturing Alliance Referral Network and Loud Security Increases Revenue via Technology on Business Development Network

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 14:00:13 GMT

Georgia Manufacturing Alliance Referral Network and Loud Security Increases Revenue via Technology on Business Development Network
Leadership as Business Development
Jason Moss, CEO
Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA)
Jason met a defining moment for the survival of his company by challenging his clients to grow his business. While a regional sales representative for a 3D CAD software company, Jason discovered that most manufacturers served a very small segment of the overall manufacturing space. Jason realized if the industry leaders would create strategic alliances the entire manufacturing community could benefit.
In 2008 founded the Networking MFG, an association with the mission of connecting, educating, and promoting manufacturing companies throughout Georgia. In 2011 the organization became the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA), and has grown to six chapters throughout the state, with over 250 members.

The GMA staff and Chapter Directors coordinate plant tours educational workshops, and networking events for members to share and learn best business practices from their peers. This year plant tours include world class manufacturers including Fortune 500 printing company RR Donnelly, Clorox, KIA, Olympic Steel, Savannah Bee, Southwire, and Yamaha.

Ending Recap & Remarks
GMA will also hold its 4th annual conference and exhibition summit highlighting the people, plants and products that help create a more vibrant manufacturing environment in Georgia on October 25th at the Cobb Galleria. This year’s theme will highlight Georgia’s aerospace industry.

If interested in acquiring a Georgia Manufacturing Alliance membership Directory, it is available on GMA website www.georgiamanufacturingalliance.com and on Amazon, where it is listed as a "Best Seller".

Topics Discussed:
Other resources that have been developed by the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance include:
• The “Buy from Georgia Month Proclamation” – Industry leaders from across the state join GMA Members and Governor Deal at the State Capitol to recognize the importance of Georgia Made Products.
• The Georgia Manufacturing Directory – A desktop and online listing of GMA members that manufacture and provide services to the manufacturing community.
• BuyFromGeorgia.com – This website highlights over 800 products that are made in Georgia and can be bought on Amazon.
• GaManufacturingJobs.com -- This job board helps connect manufacturers with quality employees that are seeking jobs in the manufacturing industry.
• GeorgiaManufacturingCalendar.com -- This website was developed to help other industry associations share their events with manufacturing professionals across the state.

Ryan Bennett of Create! Graphix Talks Corporate and Vehicle Graphics on Driving Business Faster

Ryan Bennett, Owner and Operator
Create! Graphix

CREATE! GRAPHIX – EST. 2017
Yes Create! Graphix was started in just 2017, but don’t let that fool you. Owner and Operator, Ryan Bennett, has been in the graphics industry for more than ten years, and another ten years of experience in corporate sales and customer service. In 2005, Ryan began working in the graphics industry for a large screen printing company as a sales representative selling apparel and jewelry to buyers across the world. This sparked an interest in the industry, and he later started a small company selling t-shirts, stickers, and other band merchandise to local musicians. After a short span of doing this on his own, Ryan went on to work for a good friend who took him under his wing and showed him the ropes in the large format printing industry.

Over the next 8 ½ years, Ryan continued to learn what the industry had to offer him, and build relationships with many good and long lasting clients who have also become close friends. After many years of being the production manager of this company, he felt that he wasn’t growing in his position and a felt a need for change,so he left the company to pursue another field in the graphics industry.

Throughout the next several months of his new business venture, Ryan’s personal client base continued to grow, so he decided to take a leap of faith, and create a graphics company of his own. With more than 10 years of quality experience, he developed a vision of how he would run his own business. Ryan brought this vision to life, and launched Create! Graphix. With high quality standards, one-on-one customer service skills, and personal communication with his clients and projects, Ryan has created a new company in the graphics industry to provide a premium experience from start to finish.

At Create! Graphix, we strive on building relationships. We don’t just want your one order to send you on your way. We want to get to know you, your company background, and what your company’s vision is. We want to work with you on all of your graphics projects, and strive to be your go-to company for and and all of your needs.

Create! Graphix is located in Kennesaw, GA between Barrett Parkway and Cobb Parkway.

Topics Discussed:

Starting a small business, goals, history, etc
Corporate graphics
Vehicle graphics
Racing industry including Pro stock

Juan Pablo on Linkedin

Tempus CEO Juan Pablo Carriedo sits down with Dr. Diane Alleva Caceres, CEO of Market Access International, to discuss the following topics: What are the pros and cons of growing internationally? What should businesses consider prior to expanding? And once expanded, how can a company protect and maximize profit margins? No matter the different approaches firms take to grow globally, foreign exchange exposure must be recognized and managed. The CEOs discuss challenges facing small-medium sized businesses and steps that can be taken to mitigate risk, such as forward contracts and using specialists to scope out future partners. Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain are trends impacting the foreign currency market which will challenge companies to balance short-term reactions to the market with long-term planning. Tempus CEO stresses that for many companies, using their banks as a foreign exchange partner has resulted in overcharging and an avoidable burden on their bottom line. By using a specialist in global payments, profits can be maximized by eliminating overcharging transactions and better mitigating the risks of international business.

About unboXt

unboXt technology is used by hiring managers and recruiters to measure the compatibility between a candidate, corporation and team. The uniqueness of their product is a dynamic algorithm which has the ability to look within an organization and department to ensure candidate fit.

Our Story

Companies, departments and managers are losing talented employees everyday. In fact, the average Fortune 500 Company spends over $50MM annually in the U.S. on employee turnover. The cause? Employees are lacking impact, purpose and compatibility with their direct teams. A staggering 70% of today's workforce feel undervalued and disengaged in their current roles.

unboXt takes a scientifically proven approach to helping match a company’s needs to a candidate’s desires. In short, unboXt gets the right person in the right seat.

Yesterday’s question was, “can they get the job done?” Today, the more relevant question is “will they stay?”

The Vision

unboXt was founded based on a simple principle: trust through transparency. unboXt is on a mission to fundamentally change the way people view and approach their work lives.

From Healthcare to Auto and Lessons Learned as a Professional Entrepreneur Larry Pearson Interview on Capital Club Radio

From Healthcare to Auto and Lessons Learned as a Professional Entrepreneur Larry Pearson Interview on Capital Club Radio

Larry Pearson, President and CEO of Independent Dealers Advantage, LLC (IDA), a sub-prime automobile finance company, shares with Michael his journey from managing and owning medical providers to purchasing and servicing point of sale sub-prime in auto portfolios in the South Eastern U.S.

Larry founded IDA in January 2001 to purchase, underwrite, verify, and collect point of sale and bulk sub-prime indirect auto paper. He managed the growth of IDA’s portfolio to $20,000,000 and outside servicing portfolios to $90,000,000. Larry is a recognized leader and authority in the subprime auto segment.

Prior to his achievements in the subprime auto industry, Larry spent nearly 30 years in the insurance and healthcare services industries; buying, building, operating and selling a variety of healthcare service companies in ophthalmology sectors. Larry earned a BS in Industrial Management at Georgia Institute of Technology in 1970.

Here is a glimpse of what Larry shared in the interview.

“So he had me go to work one summer in the spinning room, cleaning lights in the cotton mill, and it was about 130 degrees … and he said … ‘You can spend the rest of your life doing this type of work or you can decide to aggressively pursue your education.’”

“Entrepreneurs would tell you they make every mistake you can possibly make along the way, and you just have to recognize your mistakes for what they are and learn from them and go on. And not let it become a failure.”

“Helping people is very important to me, my faith is very important. I feel like I’m challenged to help people, and this was one of the ways that we could do it.”

Tom Simonson: Reviving Bill Bartmann’s Dream and Transforming CFS into Merit Financial on Capital Club Radio

Fri, 11 May 2018 04:30:16 GMT

On this episode of Capital Club Radio... Michael Flock interviews Tom Simonson at the RMA conference in Las Vegas about his monumental undertaking, the re-engineering of Bill Bartmann's Commercial Financial Services (CFS) and reviving Bill's dream and Transforming CFS into Merit Financial.
Tom is the President and CEO of the Merit Family of Companies, formed in 2017 and comprised of Merit Financial Solutions, Financial Samaritan and Financial Samaritan Lending. Additionally, Tom is President and CEO of CFS2, Inc., the debt buying, servicing and collection R&D company that developed the methods and software now being used by Merit Financial Solutions.

Prior to becoming President and CEO of CFS2 in December 2016, Tom had served as COO of CFS2, a position he has held since August, 2014. Prior to this, Tom was Worldwide General Manager of the Technology, Consulting and Systems Integration Division at Unisys Corporation. He was responsible for their global go-to-market plan, sales, field operations and customer satisfaction. Tom, a graduate of Drexel University, began his career with over 20 years of service at IBM where he held a variety of senior executive positions. He lived for two years in Paris, France while working as an executive at IBM's European headquarters.

Here is a glimpse of what Tom shared in the interview.
"I think there was always two sides to the Bill Bartmann story and the controversy around it. On the one hand, you had what you described, which was the scandal and the ultimate demise of CFS. But on the other hand, you had a man who was quite the visionary and could see things that others in the industry or in other industries did not see..."
"I learned that you need a precise strategy, that you need maniacal focus, and you need a certain level of cadence and discipline..."
"when you're building the business and you're making the level of transformation that we are, you do rely on investors up front and you have to learn to raise money as part of your everyday operating..."

Infrastructure, Strategy & Sales Training are Key for Increasing Sales on Business Developers Network

Thu, 10 May 2018 14:00:57 GMT

If You Heard Laurel Instead of Yanny It Can Make or Break Your Sales Numbers
Infrastructure, Strategy & Sales Training are Key for Increasing Sales.

The recent viral internet sensations, “Do you hear Laurel or Yanny?” illustrates a point that can make the difference in achieving your sales numbers. Why do some people say the hear Laurel and others say they hear Yanny? The answer may have something to do with predisposed perception.

Infrastructure First
Our first guest, Emanuel Istudor is the Business Development & IS Manager at Manufactured Assemblies Corporation (MAC). MAC’s is a global leading manufacture of electronic assemblies and wire harnesses used for electrical enclosures such as ATM kiosks.  MAC has plans to increase its annual revenue from $50MM to $100MM by offering new products and services that include; outsourced solutions, contract manufacturing, design engineering, electronic kiosks, digital signs and reselling international products.  Emanuel heard Laurel: Emanuel holds degrees in both Computer Engineering and Business Administration and his predisposed perception understood for MAC to achieve their sales goals, the
company needed to ramp up their logistics and manufacturing planning systems and he initiated lean six sigma, technology infrastructure, analytics, CRM, and an enterprise operating system. With MAC’s infrastructure in place to handle the additional throughput, Emanuel is now applying the same disciplined approach for marketing and sales and MAC’s table is set to achieve its sales goals.

Strategy & Sales Training are Key for Increasing Sales
Our second guest, Craig Apatov is the Managing Partner and Strategic Marketing Practice Leader for Ascension Growth & Innovation Strategies. Ascension is a management consulting firm that helps clients drive top line growth and improve business performance through strategic analytics, insight mining, marketing optimization, and sales enablement programs.  Craig hears Laurel and Yanni: Craig has worked with blue chip firms, Citibank, Amex and brands, Hunt’s Ketchup, Mattel Hot Wheels. Companies come to Ascension to increase revenue. Craig’s predisposed perception knows management needs to have clearer insight and the sales team can benefit from sales implementation training. Craig gave an example how Ascension’s strategic insight recommended that Brand Bank place ATM kiosks that produced billions of dollars of transactions.

Serendipity: Emanuel smiled and thanked Craig; MAC manufactured the kiosks for Brand Bank.

Emanuel Istudor
Manufactured Assemblies Corporation

Emanuel Istudor is the Business Development & IS Manager at Manufactured Assemblies Corporation. Emanuel has a BSE for Computing Engineering from Mercer University and an MBA in Business Administration at Georgia Tech, and applied them in the information technology and services industry.

David Ludwig Founder of National Loan Exchange NLEX, and a Godfather of the Debt Buying Industry on Capital Club Radio

Fri, 20 Apr 2018 14:00:50 GMT

:arrow: :arrow: David Ludwig Founder of National Loan Exchange NLEX, and a Godfather of the Debt Buying Industry on Capital Club Radio
Michael Flock interviews David Ludwig, Founder of NLEX, a company formed to promote and broker the sale of distressed assets. In their conversation, Dave shares how he developed his business, managed it through tough economic times and is now building the NLEX of the future.
Dave has taken NLEX from its start, as a post-RTC sales outlet in the 1980’s, to today, where it is the nation’s leading broker of charged-off credit card and consumer debt accounts. NLEX’s parent company conducted the industry’s first public sale of charge-offs for Bank of America in 1989. With that experience, Dave introduced selling charge-offs from financial institutions by hosting the industry’s first debt sale conference in 1994. Since then, Dave and his team have supervised sales of over 5,000 portfolios with face value of $150 billion in the US and Canada.
Dave has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics from the University of Illinois and has been in the financial industry for over 25 years. Considered a pioneer in the debt sales industry, he has been a featured speaker at industry conferences and quoted in numerous national media outlets.
Here is a glimpse of what Dave shared in the interview.
… but most said, “No, we will never sell charge-offs. That’s a crazy idea. Why would we do this? You’re going to sell to someone that we’re going to lose control of, that’s going to violate… going to threaten to break legs and we’re going to be brought into law suits.”
… because this was before electronic media. Everything is in hard files. When we were doing a sale back then we would set up a war room of all these files, these cardboard boxes of files that people would come in and go through.
… because all we are is a relationship business. We don’t make widgets. There’s nothing we’re buying and selling. It’s a relationship business…

In the U.S., millions of youth and teens (1 out of every 6) are struggling with"food insecurity." That is when a child doesn't have regular access to fresh food or proper nutrition so that their development is severely impacted. Studies show that kids can't learn, grow, or reach their full potential on an empty stomach. That's why-in partnership with Walmart Foundation-the Y has nearly 4,000 sites where children can receive a healthy meal and/or snack. In 2017, the Y served 476,00 kids more than 22,000,000 meals and snacks.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT THE Y'S HEALTHY KIDS DAY:

How to enter a special art contest to promote hunger awareness
Why summer is a crucial time for children's health
Learn about the epidemic of child food insecurity in our country
Why child hunger is much worse during the summer

SPOKESPERSON BACKGROUND:
McDaniel has been the Anti-Hunger Initiatives Specialist at the YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) since 2013, working to offer assistance and guidance to local Ys to strengthen child nutrition programs across the country. During her tenure, the Y has expanded its anti-hunger work, increasing number of youth served per year by 131% and number of meals served per year by 165%. In 2016, over 476,000 youth received over 22 million meals at more than 3,900 sites and after-school programs through the Y's Year-Round Food Program.
CHILD HUNGER IS A SERIOUS AND OFTEN UNDER-REPORTED PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY. IN FACT, ONE IN SIX CHILDREN IN THE U.S. STRUGGLE WITH FOOD INSECURITY. THIS EPIDEMIC OFTEN HITS HARDEST DURING SUMMER MONTHS WHEN KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL.

Chris Hogg: Still Enjoying His “Gap Year” After 40 Years! Interview on Capital Club Radio

Mon, 26 Mar 2018 17:00:15 GMT

:arrow: :arrow: Chris Hogg: Still Enjoying His "Gap Year" After 40 Years! Interview on Capital Club Radio
Chris Hogg has been the entrepreneurial powerhouse behind several businesses in the consumer financial services and consumer product industries. He is an Australian citizen and currently resides in Bryn Mawr, PA, USA. Chris is the President of Broad Street Holdings, LLC which recently acquired SRA Associates, a NJ-based debt collection and receivables management company; North Shore Agency,located in NY, is a letter-based collection company; and a California-based auto loans business.
Chris is Chairman of National Surety Underwriters and National Fidelity Reinsurance Company, founded in 2014, underwriting surety guarantee and contract bonding business throughout the USA. Chris is also the Independent Director of CCA Industries, a consumer products company (NYSE American: CAW). In his most recent venture, Chris founded EmployeeCash, a unique digital workplace consumer loans platform.
Chris was the chief executive officer of Australia's largest privately-owned debt collection agency specializing in credit card debt recovery. He then joined the first board of UK-based Marlin Financial Group (MFG), a start up in the distressed receivables management business. Eight years later, MFG grew into the largest privately-owned business of its kind in Europe and was sold to PE investors for substantial gains in 2013. He was Chairman of The Mint Corporation, a publicly listed debit card and payroll processing company. Under Chris' direction, Mint grew into a respected leader in the highly competitive payments processing sector in the MENA Region, operating in four countries. In 2013, he retired as its executive chairman.
"I graduated high school at barely the age of 17... I got into business and as soon as I started earning a salary, the idea of staying in business looked a heck of a lot more attractive than going to university. So I put it off for another year and another year... I'm in my fortieth year of that gap."
"It's never really been about the money... It's about creating something. It's about building something. It's about the success of taking something from nothing and turning it into something from $1 to $65 million.... if I look back, I could have made some decisions that would have actually made me a lot more money, but it probably wouldn't have been as gratifying to me as building a business and creating jobs and creating futures for people."

Former Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell Interview on the Buckhead Business Show

Fri, 09 Mar 2018 18:00:36 GMT

:arrow: :arrow: Former Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell Interview on the Buckhead Business Show
Sam Massell, Founding President
The Buckhead Coalition

Sam Massell, a life-long resident of Atlanta, has had successful
careers in real estate brokerage, elected office, the field of tourism, and
association management.
He spent twenty years as a Realtor, becoming Vice President of
Allan-Grayson Realty Company, then one of the city’s largest commercial
brokerage firms. During that time, he was elected a charter member of the
Atlanta Real Estate Board’s Million Dollar Club and was honored three
times with the Cates Trophy by the Georgia Association of Real Estate
Boards for creating the “Outstanding Transaction of the Year.”
While in real estate, Massell became extremely active in a wide range
of civic work, which eventually led to the political arena. He served twenty-
two years in elected offices, including eight as President of Atlanta’s Board
of Aldermen (now known as the City Council) and four as this city’s Mayor.
While holding that office, he was also chosen as President of the 15,000-
member National League of Cities. In addition, he has served a four-year
term on the Board of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, and
was a Board Member of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games.
Among other achievements, his administration as Mayor is credited
with establishing MARTA (Atlanta’s mass transit program), with developing
the city’s first enclosed arena (the Omni Coliseum), and with providing the
“Five Points” Central City Woodruff Park, all with no call on ad valorem
taxes. He also pioneered minority opportunities in city government,
appointing the first female to Atlanta’s City Council and the first Blacks as
City Department heads.
After leaving full-time public service, he entered the tourism business

GSMA OPENS NEW NORTH AMERICA OFFICE IN ATLANTA

New Facility Puts Mobile Industry Organization in Center of Atlanta Tech Scene, Provides Strong Foundation as GSMA Works with Members to Advance Development of Mobile Industry

The GSMA announced it has opened its new North American regional office near Midtown Atlanta, a move that will enable it to better serve its members across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. At a ceremony attended by dignitaries and leaders from the Atlanta technology community, the GSMA officially cut the ribbon for its new 15,000 square-foot offices, which are located in Armour Yards and currently accommodate nearly 90 GSMA employees.

“The opening of our new North American office marks the start of the next chapter for the GSMA in the region,” said Mats Granryd, Director General, GSMA. “Our new location in Midtown Atlanta puts us at the very center of the vibrant, dynamic tech scene in the city, enabling us to draw on a rich talent pool and engage even more closely with the broad technology ecosystem that has developed here.”

Dr. Dan Nussbaum

Originally from Long Beach NY, Dan was young when his parents passed away, and he lived in 17 places in 9 years while putting himself through college and graduate school with the help of academic scholarships. Dan finished college when he was 20 before going to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, and then practiced in Philadelphia for 22 years before deciding to move to California and begin a second career as a licensed investment adviser. As he always had an interest in real estate, Dan decided to also become a licensed California real estate broker and created successful local agencies in Los Angeles. After being contacted from outside the USA about promoting new home developments into the Los Angeles market, Dan became fascinated with the idea of creating The International MLS [IMLS] as an affordable way to bring together agents, brokers, developers, associations, buyers, sellers, and property listings all together into one global marketplace. Dan's vision has been to have all of the listings shared on agent and broker sites all over the world via The IMLS searches, giving agents and brokers the tools to succeed in a competitive global marketplace, with the goal of putting the power of the real estate industry back into the hands of the agents and brokers. As someone who is a licensed broker himself, it is Dan's mission to protect agents so that there will be no advertising of other agents on a personal agent members listing page, that if it is your listing,.. it is your lead, and that there will be no For Sale By Owner listings on The IMLS along with everything posted on The IMLS 10 point Pledge. Dan relocated with The IMLS from Los Angeles to Boca Raton, Florida July 2015. When not working on The IMLS, Dan can be found running, skiing, playing tennis or golf, and maintains an actively engaged life in the Miami-Palm Beach area.

Dr. Bruce Salzinger

Rich Hart (L) Bruce Salzinger (R)
An active Doctor of Chiropractic at Chiropractic Healthcare of Buckhead on Pharr Road for 25+ years. In 2008 Dan came up with a novel concept and vision of the international real estate market and it just made sense to me. I learned the business best I could and the opportunities it offered. Having participated nationally and internationally at several real estate shows it confirmed we not only have something unique but extremely valuable to all.
My resume below indicates the last 25 of years of chiropractic achievements. My children have decided to pursue other careers. I hope to continue helping to launch The IMLS and eventually devote full time to building this vision worldwide.
1970 Graduated Long Beach High School, NY with sports participation on the golf, swim and track teams.
1974 Graduated University of Connecticut, Storrs CT, B.S. Degree with sports participation on the Alpine Downhill Ski Racing and Cross Country teams. Active in karate and judo clubs.
1972-1973 International Business Studies Program, American College of Switzerland, Leysin Switzerland with sports participation on the Alpine Downhill Ski Racing Team and Cross Country Teams.
In 1974 Dr. Salzinger experienced a serious skiing related injury. After 3 months of traditional drug and physical therapy treatments for a herniated disc and bilateral severe sciatica he was scheduled for a low back surgery. Fortunately a good friend who was going to New York Chiropractic College at the time suggested he come in for a consultation and exam as "I could always go ahead with the surgery". The explanation of my condition from the chiropractic perspective just made sense. I proceeded with a regimen of regular subluxation based chiropractic adjustments and the rest is so to speak, history.

Keith Meyers with Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, KBW on Capital Club Radio

Tue, 23 Jan 2018 20:30:32 GMT

:arrow: :arrow: Keith Meyers with Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, KBW on Capital Club Radio

Guest: Keith Meyers
On this episode of the Capital Club Radio, Keith Meyers joins chairman and CEO Michael Flock, one of the leading investment bankers in the specialty finance world, to discuss his transition from accounting to investment banking, his work and now management in the debt buying and collection industry and tips to note for those interested in the trends as well as staffing of those in investment banking and debt buying.
Biography
Mr. Meyers is a Managing Director based in Atlanta and leads KBW’s new Financial Services Group, which serves clients in the specialty finance, mortgage finance, securities, alternative asset management, and financial technology sectors.
Mr. Meyers brings more than 17 years of relevant experience serving both strategic and private equity investors in the financial services sector. He comes to KBW from Raymond James where he was a Managing Director in the Financial Services Investment Banking Group. Previously, he served as Head of the Financial Services and Transaction Processing Investment Banking Group at Morgan Keegan & Company. Earlier in his career, he worked in the business advisory and assurance practice at Deloitte and Touche (CPA, inactive).
Mr. Meyers has an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and a BSBA from Washington University in Saint Louis.
Michael Flock: How does someone whose working in accounting at Deloitte get into investment banking? How did you make that transition and why?
Keith Meyers: Accounting and audit is a great stepping stone to other things. Accounting is the benchmark of business, being able to understand the financials is critical to what we do in our business. Always thought of it as a place to start my career. Wanted to get into a more proactive role. In accounting, you’re always looking at what you’ve done. You’re not creating value looking forward. I wanted to move into a role to make things happen. Investment banking is very rewarding career because we have changed the position of the companies we work with. As an investment banker, this is a client-service business. We need people who are engaged and care about what our clients think. We’re a cross between consultants, financial advisors, structuring agents and psychologists.
[4:37] Psychologists - that’s a new one. Why psychologists?
Deals meander many different ways. Many time when we work with clients, this is the biggest transaction of their careers and transformative for the companies we work with. A lot can happen in a deal - positive or negative so a lot of what we do is keep our client’s calm. We joke that deals die 3 times before they close. There’s always times where it’s going to get troubled and you have to make sure you keep everyone’s on board.
[5:18] You kind of answered my next question - what are some of the personal traits investment bankers need to be successful?
It’s usually financial or business-related but the psychology and keeping everyone calm is surprising. We hire talented people from MBA programs and many will say that we do a lot less modelling and structuring than they expected. It’s more positioning of companies, understanding companies and being able to articulate it to potential investors, private equity firms, debt providers, strategics than it is about brute force financial modelling. We can teach all of that. These kids are book smart, next level is how you interact, tell stories and build rapport and be their advocate positioning against someone that’s trying to get the best deal for themselves. Tread carefully to make sure that you have a client and investor who want to continue to work with one another for 5+ years.
[6:52] Really about relationship management as much as it is about numbers.
100% your skill set in investment banking changes as...

With over 15 years of internet experience in the combination of personal and business, we have obtained a wealth of knowledge and valuable skills. We have learned from an assorted line of successful internet marketers today.

As students and as action takers, in a short period of time we've learned how to leverage the internet to help any small business, organization, and/or entrepreneur.

IDEFINE TV:

iDefine TV is the easiest and most affordable way to to broadcast your video content to 1,000s on television. This isn't a commercial. No. This is the perfect vehicle to build credibility, authority and brand awareness. Our goal is to enrich, educated and entertain our viewers.

iDefine TV is a simple, yet a powerful way to leverage video to gain exposure and branding like the big corporations. It's been reported that the average American spends 4 or 5 hours in front of the TV each day in comparison to a mere 15 minutes on YouTube.

Now here’s where we set ourselves apart from the others. It doesn’t matter if you have video content you’ve produced on your own or something we’ve produced for you, we now can distribute it to an actual television audience. No. We mean, no. This isn’t web based television. Your video will air on actual TV, 24 hours a days, 7 days a week.

Why settle for web video when you can expand your reach on television?

His “crisis-tested leadership skills” were forged not in a battle with the competition or a challenging business turnaround—although he has certainly excelled in those arenas—but in the dark skies above the Pacific Ocean as he flew a military aircraft whose engine had caught on fire.

Clear-headed and decisive under extraordinary circumstances, Pete has applied that same leadership style to every challenge and opportunity he has faced in a distinguished executive career with such firms as Coca-Cola, Newell Rubbermaid and most recently, Licensing Brands, the company he founded in 2009.

Using visualization to make your dreams a reality was the subject of a recent TEDx Talk by Pete Canalichio (MBA ’90), founder, principal owner and president of Licensing Brands, Inc.

“With each dream, I would picture what I wanted, and I would visualize myself in that place,” says Canalichio. “The visualization gave me the clarity I needed, along with the ambition and courage to risk possible failure. As the saying goes, ‘You can’t make a basket if you never take the shot.’”
Pete began his licensing career at Coca-Cola in 1997 as the Event Licensing Group Manager where he executed multiple programs in support of:

The 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan
The France 1998 FIFA World Cup (soccer)
Major NASCAR events throughout the U.S.

In his second year in the role, he led the group to over $50 million in retail sales earning $3 million in royalty revenue for the company. In 1998, Pete working with the diecast licensee, Action Performance, delivered $30 million in retail sales in commemorating the first ever race between Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. at the Coca-Cola 500 in Tokyo, Japan. This is the largest co-branding program on record for Coca-Cola. His contributions that year earned Pete the Greatest Contribution to the Licensing Department award.

Pete continued his licensing career at Coca-Cola in 2001 as the Licensing & Consumer Activation Director of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, UT. There he directed the development and implementation of all of Coca-Cola’s licensing programs and consumer activation for the Olympic Winter Games. During the seventeen days of the Games Coca-Cola sold over $2 million of licensed product, a 100% increase over the prior Winter Games.

From 2005 to 2007, Pete served as Director of Global Licensing at Newell Rubbermaid for the Rubbermaid brand. In this role, Pete led a 9 member cross-functional team while managing 17 licensees. In just over two years, wholesale sales grew from $30 million to over $70 million and average royalty rates increased by greater than 2% more than doubling royalty revenue. For his achievements, Pete received the MVP Award for stellar contributions to the Global Licensing department in 2006.

In his final role at Newell Rubbermaid, Pete served as the General Manager of CardScan, where he delivered quick wins while rejuvenating the organizational culture.

Before transitioning to marketing and licensing arenas, Pete earned his MBA from the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School where he was a Richard H. Jenrette fellow and salutatorian of his class. Upon graduation,

Simply Buckhead Spotlight with Chef Ami Dand of Legendary Events and Chef Shaun Doty The Federal, Chick-a-Biddy and Announcing ATL Taco

Thu, 16 Nov 2017 15:00:54 GMT

Simply Buckhead Spotlight with Chef Ami Dand of Legendary Events and Chef Shaun Doty The Federal, Chick-a-Biddy and Announcing ATL Taco
Shaun Doty, Chef
The Federal, Bantam + Biddy, Chick-a-Biddy and Announcing ATL Taco!
Chef Shaun Doty’s career has spanned the globe, but his passion lies in creating simply prepared contemporary fare in Atlanta. His extensive culinary experience is the driving force behind his concepts, Bantam + Biddy and Chick-a-Biddy, fast-casual chicken restaurants featuring local free-range and pastured chicken, and The Federal, an intimate bistro steakhouse in the heart of Midtown Atlanta.
Doty began his culinary career at The Grape, a bistro located on lower Greenville in Dallas, TX. After a year at the famed bistro, Doty traveled to Charleston, SC, to attend Johnson and Wales University and worked at Restaurant Million while studying the culinary arts. Upon graduation, Doty moved to Atlanta to work for two years under Chef Guenter Seeger at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead. Later, he pursued culinary stints throughout France and Belgium, including experience at the renowned Michelin-starred restaurants Comme Chez Soi, Restaurant Bruno, Restaurant Claude Dupont, Restaurant Barbizon and Restaurant Troisgros.
Returning to the United States, Doty worked at Mirabelle in Beaver Creek, CO, and then Savanna’s in South Hampton. He was lured back to Atlanta by Chef Seeger who placed him as the executive chef at the highly celebrated downtown eatery Mumbo Jumbo. Doty’s next project as chef/owner was the launch of MidCity Cuisine, recognized by Atlanta Magazine as Restaurant of the Year 2003. Inspired by the casually sophisticated cafes of Paris, Venice, and Turin, MidCity Cuisine won accolades in national magazines from Gourmet to Bon Appetit for modern interpretations of classic brasserie cuisine. In November of 2005, Doty and his partnership sold MidCity Cuisine and he was recruited by the Manhattan-based Restaurant Associates to be executive chef of Table 1280 at the Woodruff Arts Center. After a successful debut, Doty began to develop a new project inspired by the simple bistro fare that he originally admired at the start of his career.
In 2006, Doty opened Shaun’s, a casual neighborhood bistro that was situated in the heart of historic Inman Park. At Shaun’s, Doty spent four years creating ingredient-driven, seasonal and creative American cuisine that earned him praise from critics and diners alike until he closed the restaurant in 2010 to focus on other endeavors.
In 2010, Doty founded YEAH! BURGER, an eco-friendly eatery serving customizable burger combinations in Atlanta’s West Midtown and Virginia-Highland neighborhoods. Two years later, he sold his interest in YEAH! Burger to partner with Lance Gummere to open Bantam + Biddy at Ansley Mall in 2012. The restaurant serves a mixture of local free-range and pastured chickens. In addition to top quality chicken, Doty and Gummere have placed a major focus on Bantam + Biddy’s side dishes. The family-friendly restaurant offers Southern favorites as well as sides made with seasonal and local ingredients. In 2013, Doty opened Chick-a-Biddy in Atlantic Station, a modern diner with farm-fresh chicken, creative cocktails and fresh-pressed juices and smoothies. In 2014, Doty opened two more Bantam + Biddy locations at Avalon in Alpharetta and Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead. Both Bantam + Biddy and Chick-a-Biddy offer a number of gluten-free items as well as dishes that can easily be modified for guests with other food allergies.
In 2016, Doty and Gummere opened The Federal, named after the nearby Federal Reserve Bank in Midtown, drawing inspiration from their travels around the world, French cuisine and the traditional American steakhouse. Garnering inspiration from his work at previous restaurants such as Shaun’s, MidCity Cuisine and Mumbo Jumbo and culinary stints abroad,

Topics to Discuss:
National Cyber Security Awareness Month (October), cybersecurity, data breaches
Dave Chatterjee, Ph.D. (dchatte.com) is an accomplished technology thought leader and tenured associate professor in the MIS department, Terry College of Business, the University of Georgia.
With the Internet touching all aspects of everyone's daily life, most of us could benefit from a reminder through an annual campaign such as this that works to raise awareness about the importance of cybersecurity. National Cyber Security Awareness Month is presented by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Additionally, Dr. Chatterjee will deliver the keynote address during the annual meeting of the Atlanta chapter of the Society for Information Management in November.
You’ll find more info here:
https://www.dhs.gov/publication/national-cyber-security-awareness-month-resources
Each week in October spotlights a particular theme.
October 23 to 27 is The Internet Wants YOU: Consider a Career in Cybersecurity.
October 30 and 31, the theme is Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Cyber Threats.
You’ll find more below on the remaining themes.
Week 4: October 23-27 – Theme: The Internet Wants YOU: Consider a Career in Cybersecurity
According to a study by the Center for Cyber Safety and Education, by 2022, there will be a shortage of 1.8 million information security workers. It is critical that today’s students graduate ready to enter the workforce to fill the vast number of available cybersecurity positions. Week 4 will encourage students and other job seekers to explore cybersecurity careers. Key influencers – like parents, teachers, guidance counselors and state and local officials – will learn more about this growing field and how to engage youth in pursuing cybersecurity careers.
Week 5: October 30-31 – Theme: Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Cyber Threats
The essential systems that support our daily lives – such as electricity, financial institutions, and transportation – are all dependent upon the Internet. Building resilience in critical infrastructure is crucial to our national security. Week 5 will look at cybersecurity in relation to keeping our traffic lights, running water, phone lines, and other critical infrastructure secure. It also facilitates the transition to November’s Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month (CISR), highlighting the tie between cybersecurity and our nation’s critical infrastructure.

Michael Bernstein, Founder MEB Finance Interviewed on Capital Club Radio

Mon, 23 Oct 2017 20:00:47 GMT

Michael Bernstein, Founder MEB Finance Interviewed on Capital Club Radio
Michael Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer
MEB Finance Solutions LLC

Michael E. Bernstein
Mr. Bernstein founded CreditMax, LLC in 2001 and built it into one of the 25 largest debt buyers in the ARM industry by 2005 when the company generated over $60mm in revenue. In 2009, during the height of the macro-economic crisis, Mr. Bernstein made a strategic decision to exit the debt purchasing business and initiate a finance subsidiary, CMAX Finance, LLC to provide capital to underbanked, small to medium sized, debt buyers. In 2010, as part of his growth initiative for the finance business, Mr. Bernstein sold part of CreditMax to outside investors to provide additional capital for infrastructure build-out and to support a larger credit facility. Between 2009 and 2016, Mr. Bernstein originated over $350mm of loans and had his highest production year in 2016, originating over $100mm in loan volume. Mr. Bernstein sold his remaining interest in CMAX in May 2017 and subsequently formed his own company, MEB Finance Solutions LLC, which entered into an exclusive strategic alliance with Flock Specialty Finance, LLC. Mr. Bernstein’s efforts will be focused on growing Flock’s origination volume. In the first 3 months of their alliance, Flock funded over $13mm, $9mm, and $8mm, their largest 3 month funding total since Flock’s inception in 2009.

Prior to founding CreditMax, Mr. Bernstein acquired several mortgage servicing companies and portfolios in the mid to late 1990’s which he then aggregated and sold to one of the largest mortgage originators and servicers in the country. Mr. Bernstein holds a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from Georgetown University.

Patrick Morlando with Enjoy Your Party on Franchise Business Radio

Wed, 11 Oct 2017 14:00:39 GMT

Patrick Morlando with Enjoy Your Party on Franchise Business Radio
Patrick Morlando, Director of Franchise Operations
Enjoy Your Party

Patrick Morlando and Enjoy Your Party are Revolutionizing the Food Service Staffing Industry
Enjoy Your Partys director of franchise operations explains where the brand is headed as demand for staffing services continues to climb.

No one knows the food service industry like Patrick Morlando. His entire career has been focused on rising through the ranks in the increasingly in demand segment, from his first job scooping ice cream at just 16 years old to his most recent job as the Sales Operations Manager for a leading coffee company. And now, that extensive experience is whats helping to fuel the success of the emerging franchise concept Enjoy Your Party.

As Enjoy Your Party's director of franchise operations, Morlando brings a strong appreciation for providing quality service to the table. He decided to become a part of the brands leadership team to support its ongoing expansion efforts. Realizing that customers have a choice on where they purchase their products and often make their decisions based on the service that they receive. Enjoy Your Party was the perfect opportunity for Morlando to dive right in.

To say that Enjoy Your Party has been thriving since Morlando signed on board would be an understatementwith over 450 employees and a reach that extends across five states, the brand is already experiencing growth. And with the implementation of its franchising opportunity, Enjoy Your Party is expected to continue building on its strong momentum in the months and years ahead.

To learn more about the Enjoy Your Party brand, 1851 Franchise sat down with Morlando to see whats next.

What does a typical day look like for you? What roles and responsibilities do you oversee when it comes to Enjoy Your Party and its business ownership opportunity?
Each day in the Enjoy Your Party office is incredibly interesting. Since we have many different subdivisions of staffing, from private events to contracted corporate events, my typical day starts with a morning briefing with our scheduling team to discuss current and future events. However, on a daily basis I am speaking to potentially new customers, boosting our current customer business, internal administration and working hard to get the word out there that food service staffing is the most critical part of any event. No matter how good the food is or how beautiful a venue is, The staff will ultimately make or break an event.

In your opinion, what makes Enjoy Your party so unique within its segment?
Its simple: recruitment & selection, training, employee uniforms and setting high expectations for our team of 463 employees. There are many staffing agencies out theretheyre not hard to find online. However, when you look at what else they do besides food service staffing, they dont compare to Enjoy Your Party. Some companies only hire models, while others staff events through an app where people can register to work events online without have any qualifications or being pre-screened. Our employees, on the other hand, are only placed on assignment after theyve had a complete and comprehensive background check thats e-verified. Every Enjoy Your Party employee also has to attend our interactive training program, pass a competency test and complete all necessary paperwork to be entered into our payroll system. When a catering partner trusts us to place fully trained and qualified staff on an event that carries the weight of their brand name, theyre sharing the responsibility of their brand and vision with us. Matching an event personality with staff personality ensures that success. Enjoy Your Party is unique because we pay attention to those details, ultimately creating a cohesive presence at any event.

Shawn Mahoney, Co-Founder
Fit2Win Wellness

Shawn Mahoney is the owner of an established software development company, a dramatic weight loss mentor, an author, a Vistage member, an avid cyclist, and an active triathlete.

Shawn is a CEO and owner of an operational software company called rockhopper tech. Shawn has successfully grown his business for over 25 years creating workflow software to run the backend operations of cutting edge companies.

Shawn had been suffering from obesity for most of his adult life. In 2008, he heard Dean Rosson speak to his Executive Vistage group about health and nutrition. During the workshop, Shawn learned about the powerful transformation of whole food nutrition, and how to establish a clear strategy for healthy weight loss. Tipping the scale at over 325 pounds, Shawn was ready to make the changes necessary to become healthy and fit.

Eighteen months later and 140 pounds lighter, the new slimmer and fitter Shawn was making an impact on many people. From the beginning of his weight loss journey, Shawn was constantly being asked how he was 'able to accomplish such dramatic success?’. He invested many hours telling people his story and sharing with them the strategic points he implemented. His wife, Paula, and his sister, Melissa, challenged him to write a book about his weight loss story. In 2010, he completed his first book titled, “How I Lost Myself.” Shawn wrote about his struggles with obesity, his bad health issues, and weight loss.

Hunter Prendergast
Mimir Blockchain Solutions

Hunter Prendergast is an Electrical Engineer with a specialization in Computer Engineering. He holds a diverse background in computer and system security/design that includes work as a naval nuclear reactor operator, naval instrumentation and control equipment network administrator, and photovoltiac system engineer. Hunter was introduced to blockchain technology by Nicholas Fierro who is a founding partner of Mimir Blockchain Solutions. Nicholas has worked in the blockchain space since 2014 where he worked with the Ethereum Foundation in Switzerland during the pre-sale formulation. Since this time Nicholas and Hunter have worked together to fully understand the blockchain world from the bottom up. They began this work building automated cryptocurrency trading engines that utilized artificial intelligence to predict market fluctuations. More recently they observed the limitations of blockchain technology from the perspective of accessibility. Resolving this issue has been Hunter's primary focus for some time now, and has resulted in a suit of tools that is poised to cause disruption in the blockchain ecosystem.

Topics to Discuss:
The concept of a blockchain
What a blockchain facilitates.
Why Ethereum is different than most blockchains.
Why this technology should be viewed as an infrastructure (for now).
Why caution should be used when interacting with this technology.

Franchise Business Radio - Public Relations, Marketing, Creative Services and Discovery Point Child Development Centers
Amy Rosenberg, Director, KQ Atlanta
Kingdom Quality Communications
Born from a desire to provide unparalleled quality, the KQ founders opened a full-service communications firm focused on offering top-notch public relations, marketing and creative services to nonprofits, small businesses and faith-based organizations.
In the beginning, we had no idea what was in store for us. We knew there was a need in our community for a firm comprised of genuinely good listeners, who, with integrity and authenticity, could turn goals and ideas into quality services that consistently surpass expectations.
Since our humble beginnings, our client base has grown considerably, and our office has relocated several times to accommodate our expanding business and talented team. In April 2016, we opened a second location in Atlanta, GA where we were immediately met with clients in search of the type and level of service KQ is known to provide.
We have been recognized with awards locally, regionally and nationally. Most recently, KQ received the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) VOX honors in three of the four categories in which we were nominated, including a top honor for our work with Memphis City Beautiful’s Faith in Action event and Gold honors for our work with the City of Memphis’ Office of Youth Services (annual report) and the Shelby County Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Task Force (media relations). The 2015 wins follow PRSA VOX wins in 2014 and 2010. In 2011, KQ received national recognition with a PRNews Platinum Award for promotions of the Chick-fil-A 5K. In 2015, KQ accepted the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) award in two categories and three American Graphic Design awards from Graphic Design USA.
We have established ourselves as a premier firm, serving individuals and organizations in the business, government, education, nonprofit, health care and faith-based sectors.
Our continued growth serves as a daily reminder of God’s presence in our company. We are honored to serve our community by providing our best to each and every client.
KQ has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and is a nationally certified SBE, MBE and DBE.
Topics to Discuss:
What is KQ Communications
Do you have specific industries you work within
What made KQ expand to the Atlanta market
What sets KG apart from other PR and marketing firms in Atlanta
What should businesses be doing differently to better market themselves

Georgia Business Radio – Medicine and Marketing

Thu, 06 Jul 2017 15:15:52 GMT

Georgia Business Radio - Medicine and Marketing
Company:
Harris Allen Group

Dr. Harris Allen
Who we are we?
Value-driven Population Health: A management and measurement system that tackles this challenge with an evolving integration of proven methods for value and population health that has reached critical mass and is ready for broader use.

A consortium of national experts and partner organizations devoted to the science and management of VDPH and supporting its use to improve outcomes and reduce costs in community and stakeholder settings.
At 17.8% (the latest estimate), healthcare’s share of U.S. GDP is 1.5 times that of second-ranked France; by 2025, the Office of the Actuary for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) has projected that this share will be 20.1%
On our current path, the Congressional Office projects that by 2040 the public debt will exceed 100% of U.S. GDP, with healthcare by far and away the biggest contributor
Yet, the Commonwealth Fund and others report that U.S. health outcomes continue to be mediocre at best (e.g., 27th among OECD countries nations in life expectancy at birth)

Our underachieving and unsustainable healthcare system is increasingly jeopardizing not only patient/consumers but each of the stakeholder groups enacting roles that one way or another serve them.
A system of objectives, measures and tools that answers and acts on these questions
This system is differentiated by group and based on the role requirements of each
Its management aspires to wise investments prioritized by outcomes-to-costs evidence
The same outcomes-to-costs analytic format applies across groups and promotes the magic of the marketplace; i.e., incentives to model success both within and across groups.
Topics to Discuss:
The Problem
Our healthcare costs are high and getting higher even as our aggregate health outcomes remain mediocre - a dilemma that has U.S. healthcare on an underachieving and unsustainable path.

Karen Rands
Kugarand Capital Holdings, LLC

Karen Rands is a Venture Catalyst, a Compassionate Capitalist, Economist, Investor, and Entrepreneur. She is the Leader and Advocate for the Compassionate Capitalist Movement. She believes entrepreneurism is the greatest source for wealth creation. You don't have to be a successful entrepreneur to create generational wealth if you can learn how to invest in those companies that have the potential to be the next big thing, according to Karen. With the recent deregulations, investors of all types have the opportunity to own a piece of an up & coming successful company before they go public or get acquired by a bigger company.
Karen has been described by some as a dominant force in the entrepreneur and investor markets with her blog, published articles, frequent speaking engagements, and her Compassionate Capitalist radio show. She has been a frequent speaker and mentor within numerous Small Business and Economic Development initiatives and was the recipient of the Advocate of the Year award in 2016 at the Flight to Freedom Summit in San Ramon, California, for her work to promote Compassionate Capitalism.
Karen left the corporate world over a decade ago, having been involved with many product launches, to pursue her passion for seeing innovation funded and to help the entrepreneur and investor community sh...

Alpharetta is First Georgia City to Receive Accreditation from AEDO
Alpharetta was recently recognized by the n with an AEDO qualification. This endorsement lends credibility to the city’s efforts towards growth and economic expansion. As a respected AEDO organization, Alpharetta becomes part of a group of distinguished, nationally known leadership municipalities.
Alpharetta Mayor, David Belle Isle, states, “Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our city leadership, economic development initiatives and programming, as well as partners in the community, The City of Alpharetta has built upon its culture of innovation and high-tech heritage by broadening our technology and community landscape. The AEDO certification is a testament that we have built an Alpharetta for all. Balancing business with community.”
While other establishments have been endorsed by the AEDO, Alpharetta is the first city to be approved in Georgia. To acquire the accreditation, officials created a strategic plan focusing on the main components that have contributed to progress in Alpharetta including enhancing the downtown space with the new City Center, the financial incentives offered that attract new businesses, and the area’s more than 20 million square feet of constructed office space. Alpharetta’s image also was a key component, with developments like Avalon and the proposed Alpha Loop enhancing the overall representation of the region. By bringing these successful companies, events, and new residents to the area, the city continues to advance with both tech-focused and commercial growth.
To determine approval, AEDO starts with a detailed organizational assessment examining internal and external operations including procedures and structures. Next, the certification process is conducted in two phases, the documentation review and a site team visit.
Peter Tokar, Economic Development Director for the City of Alpharetta, explains, “We are very excited to be recognized as an Accredited Economic Development Organization. The accreditation is not only a badge of honor, it communicated both internally and externally that our economic development programming is headed in the...

Driving Business Faster – Office Angels for Established and Emerging Companies

Sun, 04 Jun 2017 20:36:01 GMT

Driving Business Faster - Office Angels for Established and Emerging Companies
Essie Escobedo, Chief Executive Angel
Company: Office Angels
When Essie Escobedo majored in physics, she had no idea that she would apply her knowledge about how the universe works to the world of business.
Essie launched Office Angels in 2000 after a 25-year career as a successful small business owner. During that time, she honed her gifts of exceptional interpersonal skills and a sharp intellect, while gaining hands-on knowledge about successful business management.
After observing a large and growing number of credentialed, seasoned individuals with outstanding skills and proven track records who had left corporate America, Essie saw a stellar opportunity. These professionals may have left the full-time workforce, but they wanted to continue working—on their schedules. Essie realized these professionals could bring expertise and a level of professionalism to a job that most small businesses could not otherwise afford.
Compelled by her strong entrepreneurial character and drive to help people succeed, she developed a unique business model that addresses two needs: Office Angels helps small business owners focus on business priorities, while Angels perform a range of essential but often-neglected “back office” operations in areas such as administrative support, bookkeeping, and marketing. At the same time, Office Angels provides meaningful work to highly experienced and trained business professionals who wish to work on a flexible, part-time, freelance, or project basis.
Topics to Discuss:
When and why did you start Office Angels?
How is Office Angels different from a traditional staffing agency?
What kinds of services does Office Angels provide?
How does the process work?
How does one know when his/she is ready to work with Office Angels?
How does one evaluate the cost/benefit of working with Office Angels?

Taylor Owenby, Founder
matchbook media + pr

Producer of Film, Television and New Media. Eligible for the Producer's Guild of America and Founder of matchbook media + pr, Georgia's ONLY full-service production and public relations firm.

Entrepreneur I Producer I Fundraiser

An up-an-coming creative with a passion for producing. A go-getter with connections and a killer work ethic if the price is right or it's a cause I believe in. I am the guy who will create an insane campaign so far out-of-the-box you forgot a box was there. Then, I reel it in with creative strategy and a knack for communication, Timekeeper and budget hound with a sincere love of the game and the players. Before you know it, you are talking about my work even if you don't know my name.

Yeah, I'm that guy.

Ego aside, I have a passion for helping others elevate their status and their situation. From small non-profit efforts to one-on-one guidance, I get a substantial amount of my self-worth from being a positive impact on others.

My road has not been an easy one and through each challenge I grow wiser. "Live in the present, for it is a gift."

Life isn't about how many times you fall, it is how many times you get up. If something goes wrong, if things don't work out, if you make a mistake... Learn from it. If you learn and grow from an experience then how have you failed?
Failure?
There is no such thing.

United States Bartender's Guild, Atlanta Chapter Speakers Panel Event

We invite you to listen in to a recent event featuring a panel of industry experts hosted by the United States Bartender's Guild, Atlanta Chapter! Part of their ongoing series on Bar Talk Radio on the Pro Business Channel networks. The event was recorded in front of a live audience at the Wrecking Bar Brew Pub near an area of Atlanta known as Little Five Points. This event was moderated by Anthony Porquez the host of Bar Talk Radio.

As founder and head craft cocktail specialist of Liquid Culture, Anthony has over 17 years in the food and beverage industry. Spanning from Boston, Los Angeles, Australia and locally in Athens and Atlanta, Anthony has provided top tier professional service and training to establishments of all kinds in the U.S. and abroad. Formerly the senior bartender for the two time James Beard Award nominated cocktail bar at Holeman and Finch Public House, Porquez has contributed greatly to the success of H&Fs highly respected cocktail program. He has been a guest bartender for Bacardis Street Party Portfolio Event at Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans and is a contract mixology consultant for a major local spirits distributor. Furthermore, Porquez was a curriculum developer and instructor for Holeman & Finchs Academy of Bartending while holding the role of Communications Coordinator for the Resurgens Hospitality Group. Currently he is a brand advocate for 6 different distilleries in addition to providing cocktail events and spirits education privately and within the industry as well.

Line-up of distinguished speakers on our panel:

Tiffanie Barriere
a Houston native who now calls Atlanta home, has previously overseen and operated the award-winning beverage program at One Flew South since the restaurant’s 2008 opening at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Under Tiffanie’s creative direction, One Flew South has been hailed as one of the best airport bars in the world by press outlets such as Esquire, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes and more. Under Tiffanie's direction, One Flew South was named "Best Airport Bar in the World" at Tales of the Cocktail in 2014. Barriere’s background and training included the Bar Smarts program under the tutelage of “King Cocktail,” legend Dale DeGroff and cocktail historian David Wondrich.

Kaleb Cribb
Kaleb started in food and beverage in Valdosta Ga in a RocknRoll dive bar named Vito’s as a bartender and a sound man. Upon moving to Athens Georgia, he began as a door man and bar back working in a volume sports bar and townie scene bar named Transmetropolitan, where he spent 5 years, leaving as the bar manager. After that, he moved into fine dining at the now defunct Farm 255, where he developed the first craft cocktail program in Athens (after staging with Miles Mc. At Leon’s Full Service).
He moved to Atlanta after taking a job with National Distributing Company as their in house mixologist and craft spirit specialist. He spent almost 2 years with the distributor before taking over as lead bar at Holeman and Finch Public House, spending 2 years running that program. That program, in 2007, was the birthplace of Atlanta’s craft scene. Since November, he has been an Account Consultant for Enthuse Marketing Company, representing the Diageo Reserve Portfolio in Atlanta.

Miles Macquarrie
As a baby, Miles Macquarrie opted for a Japanese Style 2:1 jigger over a pacifier. Wearing a period-correct tiny mustache, Macquarrie couples knowledge of obscure classic cocktails with an uncanny ability to talk like a nerd when it comes to ice, spirits, and cocktail technique. Atlanta magazine says, "Miles Macquarrie could serve his cocktails in an old shoe and they'd still taste better than those of his competitors."

Jimmy Farris
Farris Success Institute / Goal Mettle Academy

I am professional speaker and consultant. As a retired NFL veteran and Super Bowl Champion, I have spent my life setting and achieving goals. Through ups and downs, successes and failures, I have found that the key to excellence in everything I've done is mental toughness. I have been fortunate to be coached, mentored, and trained by some of the finest leaders across many industries. My life experiences have taught me that you're either getting better or getting worse, but never staying the same. Applying the mental toughness secrets we teach at Mental Toughness University and Goal Mettle Academy is the key to continued growth in your personal and professional life. I am dedicated to serving others and passionate about assisting companies and individuals achieve success.
Goal Mettle Academy is the most effective and comprehensive goal-setting workshop ever conducted. We break down the science and psychology behind setting and achieving goals so that you can get more of the things you want in life and live your dreams.
Mental Toughness University is a comprehensive mental training process that moves sales and management teams from good to great. Mental Toughness trains people how to control their thoughts, feelings, and attitudes, before, during, and after a performance. Especially under pressure.
MTU is a process, not a program. It’s about training people how to THINK like world-class performers, and how to control and manipulate their own emotions for MAXIMUM performance. MTU is a cross between emotional intelligence training and critical thinking. It’s an introspective process that causes people to examine their thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs and how those directly impact their results. We call the process, ‘Facilitated Introspection’. The 6-hour program is an awakening to expose participants to the process and show them there’s a higher level of emotional competence and mental performance than they are experiencing.
When I was in the 5th grade, my teacher handed out a blank sheet of paper and asked us to draw a picture of where we saw ourselves in 15 years. There was no doubt my dream was to be a football player when I grew up. I was a huge New York Giants fan, so I drew a stick figure of myself in a Giants uniform and wrote "In 15 years I will be playing linebacker for the New York Giants.

Topics to Discuss:
CPA Allies is an independent, RIA firm, specializing in providing accounting and finance professionals with insurance, investment and planning services. We work with young, mid-career and senior level accountants and CPAs. We also act as trusted, unbiased partners to CPA and accounting firms who provide tax, audit and compliance services to their clients.

We have two approaches:

Working one-on-one with accounting professionals by providing customized financial planning services to meet their specific needs.
Serving as trusted advisors for accounting firms who want to provide their clients with a resource for their insurance, investment, and planning needs.

CPAs and accountants are some of the smartest and most trusted business experts you can have in your professional network. However, many times they need personal assistance making financial decisions that impact all aspects of their life. Accounting firms offer many vital services to their clients but often times lack the expertise of the protection, investment and financial planning that will complete the holistic circle their clients desire.

CPA Allies was created, to serve the needs of the accounting professionals and their clients in an unbiased, transparent and ethical manner. We understand the need to have a relationship with a partner you can trust and feel comfortable working with.

It is no longer acceptable for CPAs to just prepare tax returns and financial statements. The very best clients expect, demand and deserve much more value from their CPA, who must evolve into the most trusted business advisor role. CPA Allies helps you solve the complicated problems for your best individual and business owner clients.

We concentrate our efforts on developing and maintaining the relationship with the accounting community. Our sole interest is in enabling them to address and solve their clients’ issues, only working directly with the clients when that trust is established. This model solves their client retention risk, makes them more valuable to their client and helps them grow their practice organically.

Born in the Bronx. Formative years on Long Island. Married high school sweetheart. Two children. Earned a joint BS degree in Business & Economics from American University (Wash. D.C.). After nine years of living in Houston, when the oil & gas industry fell below investment grade, I relocated to Atlanta this past June to be near family and formed a business development consulting firm.
My company provides business development and client acquisition services. Most people consider business development activities as marketing and sales. Marketing & sales are functions of business development, whereas business development is more global and holistic. Business development initiates with a strategy that is developed from insight drawn from analysis and implemented with a well crafted execution plan.
An advantage I offer clients is that I can leverage expertise from having been the owner of a mfg. company that employed 135 workers and grossed $100MM over its duration and whose business development efforts have secured $1.5bn in sales for a large global engineering & construction company and have been equally successful in scale with closely-held companies in diverse industries. My target companies are B2B closely-held small & midsize businesses in diverse industries.
Topics/Questions:

Why the name Innovative Growth Solutions?

Planning Successfully – Business Tax Laws and Lessons

Wed, 22 Feb 2017 16:00:36 GMT

Planning Successfully - Business Tax Laws and Lessons
More about our guest Rett Peaden:

Rett’s practice focuses on helping the owners of closely-held businesses and professional services firms exit their businesses, whether that involves selling the business or transferring it to the next generation. Getting a business onto a solid footing with regard to succession planning is essential, and Rett is well-versed in sophisticated tax strategies and entity structuring techniques that may be needed. He will also advise on and guide clients through strategic acquisitions to grow their own businesses. Rett regularly counsels clients on corporate, partnership, and related tax-planning matters, including the negotiation and preparation of mergers and acquisitions agreements, the drafting of shareholders agreements, the formation of limited partnerships and limited liability companies, the structuring of inbound investment opportunities for foreign nationals, the creation and operation of private foundations and public charities, and the review and drafting of executive compensation agreements. In connection with advising the owners of closely-held businesses, Rett has developed a particular interest in the taxation of pass-through entities such as S-Corporations, partnerships, and trusts.

Preserving legacy. The estate planning side of the practice, often done for the owners of closely held businesses, is highly personal, involving an individual’s legacy and the achievements of a lifetime. Rett’s purpose is to help his clients prepare for the future, provide for their families, and accomplish their long-term personal and charitable goals. In doing so, he works to develop plans that are well thought out and emphasize preserving wealth from unnecessary taxes and unanticipated risks. He knows how to take family dynamics into account, and draws insights from his work in business exit-planning and trust and estate administration to help families plan with foresight to avoid problems that could happen later on. Rett is often called upon by other professionals to advise them on the complicated income and transfer tax issues that can arise in the context of trusts and estates. On the trust and estate administration side of the practice, Rett works in both contested and uncontested matters. He assists survivors in managing their inherited wealth, and often continues to serve their families and family businesses as a trusted advisor on the basis of the confidence he inspires in them.

“I want to help my clients achieve their goals and attain the best possible results given their unique circumstances.” – Rett Peaden

Capital Club Radio – Special Episode Interview with Walt Collins from the 2017 DBA International Conference

Wed, 08 Feb 2017 21:00:17 GMT

Capital Club Radio - Special Episode Interview with Walt Collins from the 2017 DBA International Conference

A Model of Personal and Professional Perseverance, Walt Collins Shares His Story
Featuring: Walt Collins, Founder of Collins Financial

Listen to Walt Collins, a prominent figure in the debt buying industry and founder of Collins Financial. In this interview, he shares his insights, vision and how he has personally been changed through years of living and breathing this business. Walt shares his successes and challenges as he makes his second entrée in the debt buying industry.

Here is a glimpse of what Walt shared in the interview.

Walt discusses the aftermath of his exit from his first debt buying company; “It took the private equity firm about five and half years to run the company in the ground, and my poor people were losing jobs and losing the opportunity …”

Walt shares his wife’s “miracle” that changed his life. “You hear them tell you,’… you really have to get with hospice; you’re not going to keep her around much longer.’ And then shortly after, they called to say, ’We have a liver for her and we need your acceptance. Yes, or no, right now!’

Capital Club Radio – Special Episode Interview with Bob Morris from the 2017 DBA International Conference

Wed, 08 Feb 2017 19:00:34 GMT

Capital Club Radio - Special Episode Interview with Bob Morris from the 2017 DBA International Conference

Bob Morris, CEO and founder of Oliphant Financial and co-founder of Beam software takes center stage with Michael Flock in the current episode of Capital Club Radio. Bob discusses his history in the debt buying industry as well as his view that any venture in this competitive and evolving space must be positioned for change and diversification. He shares how this philosophy has impacted the way he has managed the products and ventures he has developed over the years.

Here is a glimpse of what Bob shared in the interview.

Bob shares with Michael his thoughts about the early years at Oliphant: “Well before CFPB ever became the thing, or had any impact on this business… we were misleadingly friendly in our letters, but we wanted to immediately differentiate ourselves from being any sort of an old guard agency… and I’d like to think that’s how this business actually revolutionized the ARM industry.”

Bob comments on some of the biggest changes he has seen in the debt buying industry: “the biggest thing that happened was the qualitative measurements of paper – [the] method of quantifying it and qualifying it as a purchasable asset – changed. Bank recovery managers would sell at various stages of the recovery cycle, which means you’ve got a huge price differential”

Capital Club Radio – Back to the Future: Past Debt Buyer Association (DBA) Presidents discuss history and future of DBA

Wed, 08 Feb 2017 15:30:41 GMT

Capital Club Radio - Back to the Future: Past Debt Buyer Association (DBA) Presidents discuss history and future of DBA
00:00 Announcer: On behalf of the Pro Business Channel, we're excited to welcome Michael Flock, the host of Capital Club Radio. Broadcasting on Pro Business Channel networks out of Atlanta, and on nine syndicated platforms including iTunes, Google Play and iHeartRadio. And recently interviewed on NPR. And now, live from the 20th annual DBA conference, please welcome Chairman and CEO of FLOCK Specialty Finance, Michael Flock.

[applause]

00:27 Michael Flock: Good morning, good morning. We at FLOCK Specialty Finance believe in the power of community, and that's why a little over a year ago we started a radio show called the Capital Club Radio Show, to build a community of thought leaders, of creative people in this industry who have made a difference for the Debt Buyers Association and others in the accounts receivable management sector. We talk about lessons learned, the successes and failures of the different companies, of the different leaders in this space, and we convert these broadcasts to podcast, which we distribute to the few thousand followers we have, and then we also distribute the podcast to our guests, and they can use the podcast as they see fit.

01:08 MF: This morning I am absolutely honored to be here today, hosting the Capital Club Radio Show, as we help celebrate 20 years of the Debt Buyers Association, or DBA. We're celebrating 20 years of connections, 20 years of trust, 20 years of building a new industry. And, if you're a Falcons fan like me, maybe you're celebrating 20 years of drinking.

[laughter]

01:36 MF: To be more serious, this has been an incredible roller-coaster of 20 years for all of us. There have been good times and bad times, we've seen periods of great supply, we've seen periods of very tight supply. Periods of low prices and high prices. Periods of loose regulation, and periods of very onerous regulation. So we've thrived and survived in large part, thanks to the leaders of the Debt Buyers Association, some of whom are sitting right here, and also the members and staff of the total Debt Buyers Association. DBA, I think, has been essential to this industry. It's been essential in defining it, supporting it, and helping grow, and helping legitimize it.

02:25 MF: In our company, FLOCK Specialty Finance, we talk a lot about the power and importance of passion and perseverance, which drive performance. And I can't think of five better leaders today who represent passion, perseverance, and performance than Walt Collins, Bob Morris, Mike Bendickson, Kaye Dreifuerst, and Todd Lansky. And we also wanna recognize, Dennis, sitting right here, who helped start this association. He had the idea for the Debt Buyers Association, I think, along with these folks. So it was his idea that brings us here today. So Dennis, thank you very much for that idea, and 20 years later we're celebrating it, it's now a reality.

03:17 MF: But without the passion and perseverance, there's no way this industry would ever have come so far from the gunslinger culture of the past, to the more professional, more consumer friendly culture, than the debt buying and collection industry that we are today. So, I think in general, the evolution of the past 20 years has been steady, but obviously not without its challenges, which we're gonna discuss here in a few minutes. And Jan Stieger shared with me some very interesting and positive statistics. According to Jan, our Executive Director, who you just heard from, there were only 60 members back in 1997, and today, there are 546. At our first annual conference, there were only 125 attendees, and today we're gonna be close to 900.

04:08 MF: So in spite of the recent consolidation in our industry, due to a drop of supply of consumer charged-off ...

Capital Club Radio – Special Episode Interview with Lou DiPalma from the 2017 DBA International Conference

Tue, 07 Feb 2017 20:00:26 GMT

Live from Las Vegas! Capital Club Radio - Special Episode
Interview with Lou DiPalma from the 2017 DBA International Conference
Lou DiPalma: A Risk Avoider Who Serves Risk Takers
Michael Flock talks with industry expert, Lou DiPalma, the founder and managing partner of Garnet Capital Advisors. Michael probes his thoughts and insights concerning the debt sales industry - the evolution and impact of regulations and the future for the industry at large. Michael also explores Lou's business model and how Garnet is adapting to provide support and help its clients take the risk out of their investments.

Here is a glimpse of what Lou shared in the interview.
Lou shares: "the people who take money, OPM, "other people's money", invest it and make money... I have a lot of respect for them...." Clients say, "We like you because you take our assets, you deconstruct them, and then it's very transparent as to who you show it to, the price, and how deals get done. Rather than you buying it, and then making $10 million and then nobody knows what happens."
Lou discusses his views on his business: "We feel responsible for everything. So, if I had to say what our best feature is and what our worst feature is, it's responsibility. Sometimes it's like, "Okay just get it done." But our best client is a partner. It's somebody who we've dealt with for a long time and there's a level of trust there that we're just going to... We take their assets and we say, "If this was ours, what would we do?"

Planning Successfully – Restrictive Agreements – Non-compete, Non-solicitation and Non-Disclosure

Wed, 25 Jan 2017 16:00:51 GMT

Planning Successfully – Restrictive Agreements - Non-compete, Non-solicitation and Non-Disclosure
More about our guest Rett Peaden:

Rett’s practice focuses on helping the owners of closely-held businesses and professional services firms exit their businesses, whether that involves selling the business or transferring it to the next generation. Getting a business onto a solid footing with regard to succession planning is essential, and Rett is well-versed in sophisticated tax strategies and entity structuring techniques that may be needed. He will also advise on and guide clients through strategic acquisitions to grow their own businesses. Rett regularly counsels clients on corporate, partnership, and related tax-planning matters, including the negotiation and preparation of mergers and acquisitions agreements, the drafting of shareholders agreements, the formation of limited partnerships and limited liability companies, the structuring of inbound investment opportunities for foreign nationals, the creation and operation of private foundations and public charities, and the review and drafting of executive compensation agreements. In connection with advising the owners of closely-held businesses, Rett has developed a particular interest in the taxation of pass-through entities such as S-Corporations, partnerships, and trusts.

Preserving legacy. The estate planning side of the practice, often done for the owners of closely held businesses, is highly personal, involving an individual’s legacy and the achievements of a lifetime. Rett’s purpose is to help his clients prepare for the future, provide for their families, and accomplish their long-term personal and charitable goals. In doing so, he works to develop plans that are well thought out and emphasize preserving wealth from unnecessary taxes and unanticipated risks. He knows how to take family dynamics into account, and draws insights from his work in business exit-planning and trust and estate administration to help families plan with foresight to avoid problems that could happen later on. Rett is often called upon by other professionals to advise them on the complicated income and transfer tax issues that can arise in the context of trusts and estates. On the trust and estate administration side of the practice, Rett works in both contested and uncontested matters. He assists survivors in managing their inherited wealth, and often continues to serve their families and family businesses as a trusted advisor on the basis of the confidence he inspires in them.

“I want to help my clients achieve their goals and attain the best possible results given their unique circumstances.” – Rett Peaden

Former Guest on Atlanta Legal Experts Appears on New CBS Reality T.V. Show – Hunted

Tue, 17 Jan 2017 20:28:18 GMT

David Windecher, Craig Williams & Emily Rowell (Host)
David Windecher, The Windecher Firm, Author of “The American Dream : HisStory in the Making” and Former Guest on Atlanta Legal Experts Appears on New CBS Reality T.V. Show - Hunted
About Hunted
Hunted follows nine teams of two in a real-life manhunt as they attempt the nearly impossible task of disappearing in today’s vast digital world as highly skilled investigators combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics to pursue and catch them. From searching their targets’ homes and scouring their internet and cell phone histories, to identifying behavioral patterns, Hunters in the field and Command Center investigators work together to identify clues to potential hiding places and collaborators that can ultimately lead to capture. Will the anxiety of being fugitives on the run cause teams to make a critical error, or will they be able to stay off the grid long enough to avoid being found within 100,000 square miles of the southeastern United States? A grand prize of $250,000 will be awarded to each team that successfully evades being caught for up to 28 days.

David Windecher grew up impoverished in the streets of Miami.  Surrounded by rampant crime and little opportunity, David chose a life of vice and violence out of desperation.

David was first arrested at age eleven. Over the following eight years, David was further seduced by a dark street life racked with violence, drugs and money. What started as desperate measures to feed his family of six turned into a criminal lifestyle.  Windecher joined a gang, sold dope, built and masterminded a crime ring and was arrested 13 times.
David Lee Windecher risked his life and the lives of his family to leave the gang. He beat the self-imposed negative cycle of street life through sheer will and commitment to be better. He vanquished self-doubt and conquered his deep fears of fitting in at school to pursue an education.

In 2005, David graduated summa cum laude from college and proceeded to graduate from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta. On May 25, 2014, David Lee Windecher took the Oath of Attorney in the very same court room he had appeared fifteen years earlier in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. He is now a licensed attorney in both Georgia and Florida.

David has chronicled his transformation from defendant to defense attorney in a compelling new book entitled “The AmerIcan Dream – HisStory in the Making.”  David wrote this book to detail the challenges facing kids and teens growing up in poverty and in tough neighborhoods. His book is now serving as required reading in Atlanta metro area court ordered rehabilitation programs.

David also mentors non-violent teen offenders in the Atlanta metro area. He is the founder of RED, Inc. (Rehabilitation Enables Dreams), a non-profit organization which sponsors GED programs for young juveniles facing non-violent criminal charges and capable of rehabilitation through an education. RED, Inc.’s mission is to decrease recidivism and increase literacy among America’s youth.

David is the recipient of the Martindale-Hubbell Client Distinction award in both 2013 and 2014. David is also the recipient of the “40 Under 40” Award by both Georgia Trend Magazine and the Atlanta Business Chronicle.David Windecher is a business owner, HLN Legal Analyst and motivational speaker. Windecher speaks passionately about rehabilitation of youthful offenders, the “ban the box” initiative and solving America’s gang problem.

Wed, 11 Jan 2017 15:00:09 GMT

Franchise Business Radio - Zaxby's Atlanta and the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research

On this episode and interview with Charlotte Haigler, Zaxby's Atlanta Co-Op

Topics to Discuss:
Zaxby's Atlanta Co-Op has signed on as the Presenting Sponsor of Rally Idol 2, an evening of live musical performances by children fighting cancer, to benefit the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research.

ZAXBY’S NAMED PRESENTING SPONSOR FOR RALLY IDOL 2!
HOSTED BY THE RALLY FOUNDATION FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH

American Idol Alumni Clark Beckham, Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams and Anthony Federov
to serve as celebrity judges

ATLANTA – The Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research announced today that Zaxby’s will be the presenting sponsor of Rally Idol 2, a rocking night of live musical performances on Saturday, January 28, by the most brave kids in Atlanta. Rally Kids, kids who are fighting or who have fought cancer, will be the stars of Rally Idol 2 as they take the stage in front hundreds of fans at The Buckhead Theatre to perform “American Idol style” with a live band.

American Idol alumni Clark Beckham, Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams and Anthony Federov will act as celebrity judges, giving their feedback after each performance. The live audience at the Buckhead Theatre will “vote” on their phones throughout the evening to support childhood cancer research. Each vote is a donation and every Rally Kid is a winner!

Tickets for Rally Idol 2 are $20 for single admission and $80 for a family pass. To learn more about Rally Idol 2 or to purchase tickets, visit RallyIdol.org or follow @RallyIdol on Facebook and Twitter.

“I love the mission of the Rally Foundation and raising funds specifically for childhood cancer research,” said Charlotte Haigler, licensee of the Atlanta Zaxby’s co-op. “Childhood cancer affects so many in our community. We need more research money to go directly to stopping childhood cancer. I have a passion for Rally Idol and the awareness it brings to the children affected by cancer. It is a night of fun, music, fundraising and highlighting the exceptional singers and their talent. I have tremendous respect for the family that has so lovingly started Rally Idol and their selfless donation of time and energy. I believe their mission fits the Zaxby's brand perfectly!”

The first Rally Idol, a sold out event with more than 800 in attendance, made its debut in 2014 and raised $60,000 for childhood cancer research. Rally Idol 2 is the vision of 13 year-old Courtney Roach and her older sister, Emily.

“We were inspired to do something big and amazing for my friend (Rally Kid) Ruby and for families like Ruby’s who are fighting or have fought cancer,” said Courtney.

“We are thrilled to have Zaxby’s as a partner in the all-important fight against childhood cancer. There will be much to celebrate – Courtney’s and Emily’s vision, Zaxby’s generosity, stars giving back and talented kids affected by cancer pursuing their dreams,” said Dean Crowe, CEO and Founder of the Rally Foundation. “I am impressed that Courtney has brought together one of the nation’s fastest growing restaurants in Zaxby’s with these former American Idols, and even more impressed watching the talented Rally Kids perform at rehearsals. It is going to be an amazing night.”

About Zaxby’s
Enjoying great chicken in an atmosphere where you could be yourself? That’s what childhood friends Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley wanted to achieve when they founded Zaxby’s back in the 1990s. Many years and locations later, Zaxby’s is still delivering on that promise: to serve delicious chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches and salads in a fun, offbeat atmosphere where we welcome customers as friends. As of December 2016,

Amorino
Interview with Ashley
Manager at Atlanta Lenox Square

Created in 2002 by two childhood friends, Cristiano Sereni and Paolo Benassi, Amorino was born in the heart of Paris on Ile St Louis. The two founders' passion is highlighted in their values : exacting standards of quality, consistency, pleasure and flavor, as well as the cosy atmosphere in their shops. Paolo Benassi : "Our objective is to make the highest quality gelato as naturally as possible with no artificial colours or flavorings". Very soon their success allowed them to open more stores in many prestigious locations. The crowds in front of their shops are very much a part of the summer scene in various capitals. Cristiano Sereni : " greatest satisfaction is allowing people to discover, through Amorino, the magic of authentic traditional Italian gelato... it's part of my home, my native culture". The creation of each new flavor of gelato starts with the most rigorous selection of sourced ingredients, combined with the patience and skill of our highly trained chefs. We, at Amorino, are fully conscious of the requirements that are needed to make perfect gelato and we won't rush that delicate process. For each new recipe, we push ourselves to maximise the flavor and taste. How? By simply using organic and natural products, by sourcing our ingredients directly from reputable suppliers and by ensuring that we oversee every stage of the production process. In 2005, Cristiano Sereni and Paolo Benassi were able to centralize their gelato production which allowed them to combine their valuable know-how with new techniques from the drawing board to actual production of each flavor. Paolo Benassi "We insist on keeping a close eye on the production of our gelato to thus be able to guarantee the highest standard of quality to all our customers. In order to achieve this consistency, our products arrive at each shop ready to be served, this avoids the risk of product alteration and we can guarantee that our customers will enjoy the same experience regardless of where they go to buy it". Cristiano Sereni " Our gelato and sorbets are churned everyday in typical Italian fashion under the very watchful eyes of our chefs. Our recipes take into account the needed for the gelato to mature, to allow each flavor to develop to its full potential. We use only the freshest free range organic eggs and the highest grade whole milk. Absolutely no colouring agent or artificial flavors will be found in our gelato - this is one of Amorino's fundamental principles".

overcomeHER is a soon-to-be nonprofit organization that is designed to be a network for women. Our core mission is to create a community of women who collectively stand together, to change the world.

Today's society simply does not promote collaboration or unity among women. Instead, women are constantly fed negative news, stories, and images that do quite the opposite.

overcomeHER was created as not just another organization that is trying to empower women; our goal is to unify ALL women and create a cultural change! Upon our launch, we started the #overcomeHERcampaign where women from all walks of life shared their stories and testimonies as we believe with vulnerability, comes strength.

We strive to create authentic events and products that encourage servant leadership among women. Our events are not meant to be a one-time stop, but a place to feel at home in which our members can truly grow and become the best “HER”. Our sole duty is to lead by example so that all women can become their best in every aspect of life: career, lifestyle, relationship and spiritual paths.

Capital Club Radio Interviews Tim Bauer, President of insideARM

Tue, 22 Nov 2016 16:00:06 GMT

Tim Bauer is an ARM executive with a wide range of experience in M&A, Operations, Compliance, Sales & Marketing, and Portfolio Acquisitions.

Tim is the President of insideARM and The iA Institute. He is also a member of the steering committee for the Consumer Relations Consortium (www.crconsortium.org).

Prior to joining insideARM Tim was CEO of Integrity Solution Services, Inc.

Before that Tim was engaged in a special capacity at Academy Collection Service, Inc. (ACS) from September, 2007 through February, 2009. He was hired at ACS to facilitate a settlement of an FTC investigation of ACS that had begun in 2006 and to explore a sale of the business. The settlement was announced in July of 2008. The company was sold later that same year.

From June of 2004 through October of 2006 Tim was with Outsourcing Solutions Inc (OSI) and OSI Portfolio Services (OSIPS). During this time Tim held dual simultaneous roles. He was Executive Vice President of OSI, responsible for all sales and marketing efforts, and he was President of OSIPS, responsible for Portfolio Acquisitions.

Prior to joining OSI, Tim was Executive Vice President of Business Development at Risk Management Alternatives, Inc. (RMA) and subsequently the Chief Operating Officer. Tim was with RMA from January 1997 though February, 2004.

Before joining RMA, Tim was a Senior Vice President of the Legal Products Group for Nationwide Credit, Inc. (NCI).

Prior to joining the Agency world, Tim spent 15 years as a Shareholder with the Minneapolis law firm of Messerli & Kramer, P.A., where he was head of that firms Credit/Collections Department.

Tim was one of the founding members of the first national attorney network, the American Association of Creditor Attorneys (AACA). He was President of that organization from 1991-1992 and Vice-President from 1987-1991 and from 1992-1995.

Tim obtained his B.A. from St. Marys University of Minnesota and his J.D. from Loyola University of Chicago, School of Law.

Mr. Bauer is a frequent speaker at Credit and Collections conferences on issues ranging from Current Trends in the Collection Business to CFPB/FDCPA Compliance.

Topics/Questions:
History in the ARM industry
Vision for Inside ARM and it's impact on the industry
Election Results and how ARM/debt Buying will fare in 2017 and beyond
Future of CFPB and other regulatory bodies

Web Site and Social Media Links:
www.insidearm.com
https://linkedin.com/in/timothyjbauer

When one grows up in a family that includes a brother who became a priest, a sister who became a nun, and another brother who had a career as a stand-up comic, you know one is going to have a unique perspective on life. This perspective enabled Tim Bauer to have a career in the collections industry that is wide and deep.

So how did Tim get into the collections industry? As a fresh attorney just out of law school and joining a full-service law firm, his initial assignment was in collections. From that first day, he never left the industry. Being a collections attorney provided Tim with the foundation to understand the industry. This foundation enabled him to be successful in all facets of the industry that included: operations, human resources, compliance, business development and M&A. Today, he has taken this breadth of experience and is the President of InsideARM, in which his ideas and writings are having an influence on the total industry.

Here is a glimpse of what Tim shared in the interview.
“Nobody goes to law school and says, “I can’t wait to get out and be a collection lawyer.”

“ It’s hard to argue against consumer protection. And quite frankly, those of us in the ARM industry, we would love to see some more regulation on the FDCPA.

Planning Successfully – The Do’s and Don’ts of Selling Your Business

Wed, 16 Nov 2016 16:00:15 GMT

Planning Successfully - The Do's and Don'ts of Selling Your Business

Interview with Rett Peaden
Shareholder with Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C
Mergers & Acquisitions; Business Law; Taxation; Estate Planning & Wealth Management

Who buys businesses?

Strategic Buyers – Want to grow their business and/or remove a competitor

Financial Buyers – Want to make a business more profitable and sell it again within short period

Management/Employees – Have good knowledge of business and vested reason for its success

Family – May have personal as well as financial reasons to buy business
What are the roles of advisors?

Pre-Sale Consultants – help you position your business to sell

Appraisers – help you determine what your business is worth

Accountants – help you keep your books in order and offer independent financial advice during
the sale process

Business Brokers/Investment Bankers – help you market your business and realize maximum
value; may advise you and shepherd you through the sales process

Attorneys – help you structure your business before a sale and evaluate and draft legal
agreements related to the sale; may advise and shepherd you through the sales process
What types of transactions are there?

Sellers typically prefer stock sales for tax and non-tax reasons. Selling stock usually means
paying tax at long-term capital gains rates. Liabilities of the business pass along with the stock of
the business.

Buyers typically prefer asset sales for tax and non-tax reasons. Buying assets allows the buyer to
depreciate the purchased assets thereby realizing a long-term tax benefit. A buyer can cherry pick
assets and liabilities in the asset sale and does not have to take the bad along with the good.

More about our guest Rett Peaden:

Rett’s practice focuses on helping the owners of closely-held businesses and professional services firms exit their businesses, whether that involves selling the business or transferring it to the next generation. Getting a business onto a solid footing with regard to succession planning is essential, and Rett is well-versed in sophisticated tax strategies and entity structuring techniques that may be needed. He will also advise on and guide clients through strategic acquisitions to grow their own businesses. Rett regularly counsels clients on corporate, partnership, and related tax-planning matters, including the negotiation and preparation of mergers and acquisitions agreements, the drafting of shareholders agreements, the formation of limited partnerships and limited liability companies, the structuring of inbound investment opportunities for foreign nationals, the creation and operation of private foundations and public charities, and the review and drafting of executive compensation agreements. In connection with advising the owners of closely-held businesses, Rett has developed a particular interest in the taxation of pass-through entities such as S-Corporations, partnerships, and trusts.

Preserving legacy. The estate planning side of the practice, often done for the owners of closely held businesses, is highly personal, involving an individual’s legacy and the achievements of a lifetime. Rett’s purpose is to help his clients prepare for the future, provide for their families, and accomplish their long-term personal and charitable goals. In doing so, he works to develop plans that are well thought out and emphasize preserving wealth from unnecessary taxes and unanticipated risks. He knows how to take family dynamics into account, and draws insights from his work in business exit-planning and trust and estate administration to help families plan with foresight to avoid problems that could h...

Planning Successfully - Business Co-Owner Disputes and Deadlocks

Conversation with Matthew Thiry and John Sugg Shareholders with Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C

John A. Sugg
“I’m thrilled when we can achieve a positive result because it fulfills our client’s needs—and it motivates us to serve even better.”

A zealous advocate. Disputes are an inevitable, but unwelcome, part of doing business. When they occur, John Sugg works zealously to help his clients successfully resolve them. As a member of the Business Litigation practice group, John manages a variety of matters, including contract disputes, tax litigation, real estate, construction, and business torts. He knows that clients often do not have the experience, or the time, to deal with disputes, even though they can have significant consequences for a business or a family. John advocates on his clients’ behalf to achieve the best possible results, freeing his clients to focus on running their businesses or other endeavors.

Practicalities. John represents small businesses, large international companies, and individuals, including high net worth clients. Always advocating for his clients’ interests, he fights for his clients, while understanding practical realities and the expenditures of resources. In vigorously representing his clients, John has participated in successful trials and appeals, and also negotiated favorable settlements.

As part of a comprehensive team of attorneys experienced in business, real estate, tax, estate planning and family law, John can give his clients the benefit of additional perspectives to strengthen their cases. John takes ownership of his cases seriously to secure the best outcome, and thrives on the opportunity to demonstrate total commitment to his clients.

CoFounders Podcast – Edevate Provides Employee Education Worldwide

Tue, 23 Aug 2016 17:00:21 GMT

Justin Hackney, Vice President of Sales
Edevate

We provide affordable education programs for organizations wishing to recruit, develop, and retain great talent.

MOOCS & SO MUCH MORE
Massive Open Online Courses (“MOOCS”) offer a revolutionary low cost methodology for the dissemination of learning and by flipping their institution-centric model and creating unique value-added services Edevate has evolved the diverse universe of MOOCS and other “Open Education Resources” into a powerful user-centric, institution-agnostic credentialing platform.

EDUCATIONAL ALCHEMY™
We are acquiring knowledge from the moment that we are born. Some of that knowledge is imparted through traditional “education” but much is acquired through less formalistic experiences such as workplace learning and unassessed training programs. In the past there was no methodology by which all of our learning could be collated, assessed and effectively harnessed and Edevate is the first comprehensive curator of learning experiences whether MOOCS, traditional courses (online or on campus), employment based training & experience or formal assessments of prior learning.

While learning for its own sake is a noble pursuit most students pursue education in order to achieve career or other life goals. By providing a Universal TranscriptTM of a user’s achievements and documenting skills acquired Edevate provides a game-changing advantage in seeking employment or advancement. Edevate users can acquire and document the exact skills that they need to qualify for in-demand career opportunities and an Edevate transcript includes a unique skill-set inventory providing an invaluable tool not only for employment purposes but also for educational credentialing.

ASSESSMENT & CREDIT
Edevate provides efficient low cost skill assessments used and accepted by tens of thousands of employers worldwide. By combining free MOOCS and OERs with these proprietary assessments users acquire valuable industry-focused, competency-based credentials to advance their career or stay current in fast moving industries.

Through a partnership with Excelsior College, users can leverage MOOCS and OERs to study for 30+ college-credit assessments administered at Pearson Testing Centers worldwide all certified for transfer to over 2,000 colleges and universities by the American Council for Education (ACE).

And, as a bonus, up to 25% of the credit required for a degree can be earned through documentation of prior learning experiences!

By combining these resources with other assessment-based credits such as AP examinations, CLEP and DANTES, students can start or finish a degree program or even earn an entire degree tuition & debt free. Through Edevate, users can convert learning and experience into a degree or other valuable assessed and accredited credential, truly: “Educational Alchemy”!

Inaugural Episode with Wework and ATDC Advanced Technology Development Center at Georgia Tech

Aja Anderson, City Lead
wework
Tenacious. Ambitious. Passionate. I get things done. There's never an excuse for missing the mark in my professional universe. If someone says "we can't", I get us to "we can." I never identify a problem without offering 10 solutions, and I love finding the answer that takes us to the next level.

An eclectic portfolio in startups, non-profits, government, and education has molded me into a bonafide jill of all trades. I facilitate success for my clients and my company through excellent customer service, obsessive attention to detail, leading by example, and sparkling wit.

I want to change the way we work. I spend my day identifying how best to enhance our brand new collaborative workspace in SF's Central Market district; how to invigorate the local business community; and supporting the dreams of over 300 inspiring entrepreneurs.

The American Dream, HisStory in the Making

Tue, 15 Dec 2015 13:00:40 GMT

David Windecher, Craig Williams & Emily Rowell (Host)

David Windecher, The Windecher Firm, Author of “The American Dream : HisStory in the Making.”
David Windecher grew up impoverished in the streets of Miami.  Surrounded by rampant crime and little opportunity, David chose a life of vice and violence out of desperation.

David was first arrested at age eleven. Over the following eight years, David was further seduced by a dark street life racked with violence, drugs and money. What started as desperate measures to feed his family of six turned into a criminal lifestyle.  Windecher joined a gang, sold dope, built and masterminded a crime ring and was arrested 13 times.
David Lee Windecher risked his life and the lives of his family to leave the gang. He beat the self-imposed negative cycle of street life through sheer will and commitment to be better. He vanquished self-doubt and conquered his deep fears of fitting in at school to pursue an education.

In 2005, David graduated summa cum laude from college and proceeded to graduate from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta. On May 25, 2014, David Lee Windecher took the Oath of Attorney in the very same court room he had appeared fifteen years earlier in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. He is now a licensed attorney in both Georgia and Florida.

David has chronicled his transformation from defendant to defense attorney in a compelling new book entitled “The AmerIcan Dream – HisStory in the Making.”  David wrote this book to detail the challenges facing kids and teens growing up in poverty and in tough neighborhoods. His book is now serving as required reading in Atlanta metro area court ordered rehabilitation programs.

David also mentors non-violent teen offenders in the Atlanta metro area. He is the founder of RED, Inc. (Rehabilitation Enables Dreams), a non-profit organization which sponsors GED programs for young juveniles facing non-violent criminal charges and capable of rehabilitation through an education. RED, Inc.’s mission is to decrease recidivism and increase literacy among America’s youth.

David is the recipient of the Martindale-Hubbell Client Distinction award in both 2013 and 2014. David is also the recipient of the “40 Under 40” Award by both Georgia Trend Magazine and the Atlanta Business Chronicle.David Windecher is a business owner, HLN Legal Analyst and motivational speaker. Windecher speaks passionately about rehabilitation of youthful offenders, the “ban the box” initiative and solving America’s gang problem.
