Guest Bios:







SCOTT R. FREERKSEN Co-Founder | Chief Executive Officer Scott dedicated the first 17 years of his career in a variety of New England high-tech corporate management positions. This experience in engineering, personnel, documentation, and finance created the foundation for his future entrepreneurial roles. Scott started Lakefront Living Realty in 2009 with only the state of Massachusetts represented on LakefrontLiving.com. The site quickly became the one-stop-shop for consumers looking to learn the full details of area lakes, find direct lakefront properties quickly, and connect with local lakefront specialty agents.

As the number of visitors magnified, so did the need for more lakes. New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut were soon added. With a territory this large, Scott set up systems to run the business, and a teams of specialty agents to run the systems. His role quickly evolved to working “on” the business and not “in” it…learning he could multiply his business revenue while drastically reducing his time involved.

This proven model soon caught the eye of his future business partner, Christine Mosier, and in 2014, the two entrepreneurs founded Lakefront Living International, LLC, a national real estate franchise company dedicated to providing this unique business model to agents who share their passion for the lakefront lifestyle. Scott and Chris refer to franchisees as “partners”, as that better describes their relationship.

Scott, his wife Linda, and daughter Sydney, live in a log home on Bungay Lake in Massachusetts. They are avid boaters and enjoy everything the lakefront lifestyle has to offer.





CHRISTINE A. MOSIER Co-Founder | Chief Operations Officer Chris has been selling real estate since 2003. She started out at a large national real estate chain working with seasoned agents and learning from the best. As her business grew, she and her husband purchased a lakefront home in Apple Valley, Ohio, as a “neutral” blending ground for their three children. It was there that her love of lakefront living took root and her dream of a career focusing exclusively on lakefront property was born.

As “Central Ohio’s Lakefront Specialist”, Chris could frequently be found ‘boating’ clients around the lake. With the help of her dedicated team of professionals, she soon expanded her Brokerage across the entire state of Ohio. Together, Chris and her team were consistently able to break sales records as they received honors awarded to only the top 10 percent for the state.

Her exceptional lakefront marketing and sales skills, along with her previous franchise experience (Dream Dinners), made Chris the perfect partner for Scott. In 2014, the two joined forces to create “Lakefront Living International.” Relying on her tenacity and her strong, faith-inspired vision, Chris has dedicated herself to expanding the company nationwide. She relishes working with her partners and cherishes her role as an educator, coach, and motivator.

Chris understands that when the franchises succeed, they all succeed. That’s why she prides herself on being kind, open and honest. She’ll do whatever it takes...

Tom Branch has been in private practice since 1980, after graduating from the University of Georgia School of Law. He received his undergraduate degree from Emory University in 1975, graduating with High Honors. Tom is also a member of the American and Atlanta Bar Associations, as well as the State Bar of Georgia. He is a member of the American Bar Association Forum on Franchising. He was a co-founder of the Southeast Franchise Forum and the Atlanta Bar Association Franchise Law Committee. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Bar Association and served as a Board Member and as Chairman of the Board of the Atlanta Bar Association Sole Practitioner and Small Firm Section. He was the author of “Franchising in Georgia,” in the Georgia State Bar Journal, November, 1987.
Tom is a trusted legal advisor to a diverse range of clients in the franchise community, including franchisors, franchisees and those who are considering a franchise and would like to understand the Franchise Disclosure Document and receive legal counsel before signing a franchise agreement.
Interview Topics:
*Overview of Franchise Regulation in the US?
*Franchise Disclosure Document
*Litigation in the franchise area - types of claims
*Trends in businesses being franchised
*Challenges for franchisors and franchisees.
The value of working with a Franchise Attorney?
A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract that you are entering into and franchise law is specialized. I had one franchisor share with me that an attorney claimed they understood franchise law and then tried to rewrite the state requirements for that industry (Senior Care), which cost the prospective franchisee an arm and a leg.
Be wise, get an experienced franchise attorney, such as Tom Branch to review and explain the documents and the obligations as a franchisee and to let you know if there are any concerns or clauses that need to be balanced.

Michael started out his career in business ownership after leaving a leadership position in a large durable goods manufacturing business out of MI. Through his first business endeavor in the indoor trampoline business in 2010, with a goal to franchise the concept, was introduced to franchising through a business ownership workshop in Los Angeles.

After realizing the power of growing a business model through franchising, Michael took on a position as a Franchise consultant in the Los Angeles market helping budding entrepreneurs find their business match through select franchise opportunities. Through his work with numerous franchise brands and with an eventual goal to be closer to family, moved into Franchise Development. Michael developed an emerging healthy food concept out of the Bay area into what is now a well-known national brand, Vitality Bowls Superfood Cafe. Michael joined Look Good brands in 2019 and is focused on developing emerging brands in the beauty and healthy living market segments.

Michael resides in Reno, NV with his wife and 2 boys. They love to take advantage of the easy access to local hiking trails and Lake Tahoe. Michael has a passion for skiing and mountain biking. He is an avid fan of Jazz, grown through his sons and the many music programs offered in the Reno area.

Why partnering with Costa oil is a good fit for us. How to grow the concept through the franchise consultant groups. Prime factors we look for in developing a brand.

The Future of Public Transportation is Here Now!
Transportation is a personal issue shared by us all. To get around, shop, commute, get to the airport, we use a combination of cars, buses, trains, however, all have their share of drawbacks from wasted time in traffic, pollution, and 30%-50% of urban land is dedicated just for transportation.
Transit X builds and operates privately financed public transit podways that can transform cities and metropolitan areas to be green and walkable.
A podway is an automated transit network with the convenience, capacity, and cost to replace cars, buses, trains, trucks, ferries, and short flights. Transit X is the silver bullet for transportation.
Our guest, Mike Stanley, Founder of Transit X will enlighten us how ‘podways’ can safely provide the convenience and privacy we have in our cars, the high capacity achieved with buses and trains, the time compression from planes and is as sustainable to our environment as bicycles.

ABC Shark Tank Star Barbara Corcoran on Georgia Business Radio
“Shark Tank” Co-Host and entrepreneur Barbara Corcoran is teaming up with Catherine Hernandez-Blades of Aflac to examine some important ways that small businesses especially businesses owned by women and consumers can stretch their dollars and stay competitive in the marketplace. They’ll also share information about new Aflac small-business solutions designed to help ease the burden of benefits administrators.

Barbara Corcoran | Catherine Hernandez-Blades



Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1000 loan to start The Corcoran Group.

As one of the “Sharks” on ABC’s hit TV show, SHARK TANK, Barbara has ponied up her own money and invested in twenty-two businesses, competing to make those deals for all to see, then shepherding them to success.

Her newest book, SHARK TALES, takes you behind the scenes of her life and business and her ‘seen on TV’ venture capitalism. Barbara is famously brash and blunt, bold and courageous, and a brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent (often invisible to others).

Shark Tales
How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business

The inspiring true story of Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran--and her best advice for anyone starting a business. After failing at twenty-two jobs, Barbara Corcoran borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City. Using the unconventional lessons she learned from her homemaker mom, she gradually built it into a $6 billion dollar business. Now Barbara's even more famous for the no-nonsense wisdom she offers to entrepreneurs on Shark Tank, ABC's hit reality TV show.

Shark Tales is down-to-earth, frank, and as heartwarming as it is smart. After reading it don't be surprised if you find yourself thinking, "If she can do it, so can I." Nothing would make Barbara happier.

 



About Catherine Hernandez-Blades:
Hernandez-Blades is SVP, chief brand and communications officer at Aflac, a company which has made the Ethisphere list of the World’s Most Ethical Companies list 12 times and counting.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE AFLAC SMALL BUSINESS HAPPINESS REPORT:

INSURANCE: 27% of employees would like more affordable health care coverage

FINANCES: 55% think the greatest challenge when working at a small business is financial (related to salary and health care expenses)

HAPPINESS: 87% think working at a small business is more fun than a large business

BARBARA – YOU TURNED A THOUSAND-DOLLAR LOAN INTO A BILLION-DOLLAR REAL ESTATE EMPIRE. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LESSONS YOU’VE LEARNED ABOUT RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS?

CATHERINE – IT APPEARS SMALL BUSINESSES ARE IN A GOOD POSITION. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY FINDINGS FROM THE HAPPINESS REPORT?

BARBARA – WHAT IS YOUR BEST PIECE OF ADVICE FOR A WOMAN STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS?

CATHERINE – WHAT SHOULD COMPANIES FOCUS ON WHEN DECIDING WHAT BENEFITS TO OFFER?

BARBARA – DOES OFFERING HEALTH CARE BENEFITS MAKE FINANCIAL SENSE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES?

Scott Greenberg Author of The Wealthy Franchisee on Franchise Business Radio

Scott Greenberg helps franchisees improve their leadership skills and grow their business. He’s the author of the book The Wealthy Franchisee: Game-Changing Steps to Becoming a Thriving Franchise Superstar. Below are some interview excerpts.

Currie:  What are the myths about why some franchisees succeed?

Greenberg:  It’s such an important thing to talk about because everyone is looking at the top franchisees to replicate. The problem is we make a lot of assumptions about them. Honestly, a lot of wealthy franchisees don’t know why they’re successful. I was hosting an awards banquet for a franchise system, and their best franchisees were on stage. I asked each one: “What did you do last year that made you succeed?” They said, we do a lot of marketing, we treat our employees well, we go out in the community. I mean, who isn’t doing those things, that’s not the secret to success. That’s the prerequisite…

Every franchise brand has stories of people who took over struggling locations and turned them around. So wealthy franchisees buy very mediocre locations, but they make them great. So, if you have a great location, it certainly can help. You want to fish where the fish are, right? You want to be close to the right demographic, but sometimes those locations aren’t available. So a good enough location is good enough, and wealthy franchisees prove this every day. That’s the first myth.

The second myth is that they’re slaves to their business. These great franchisees I interviewed take vacations and go to their daughter’s volleyball games, and they’re home for dinner. They don’t work hard as much as they work smart. So that is a myth that they have to be slaves to their business.

The final myth is that you have to have a passion for the business. I ran edible arrangements franchises. We did very well, but I have to confess; I’m not especially excited by fruit. What I did like is the celebration aspect, helping people celebrate important occasions. I think you have to appreciate and love something about the business, but it doesn’t mean you have to be passionate about frozen yogurt or pest control to be successful. There’s a lot of myths that are out there, and if we can replicate the right things – we can get results!

Currie:  Tune in to hear about the main things wealthy franchisees do that enable them to succeed!

John Quattrocchi, owns a CPA practice. and offers end to end accounting and tax services to franchisors and franchisees. Quattrocchi was interviewed by Franchise Business Radio Host and Certified Franchise Consultant, Pamela Currie, and explains financial terms and tax advantages for business owners.

Here are some interview excerpts.

Currie: Explain what is meant by gross revenue versus net?

Quattrocchi: Gross revenue is total sales. The total amount of money you bring in the house. Net profit is how much is left after paying all your bills and your expenses. Let me say this about total sales and net profit; it is important to understand that franchisors usually set their royalties based on the franchisee’s total sales. So, the franchisor gets paid off of the top line and then the business owner (franchisee) gets to keep and profit off of the bottom line number, which is the net or the cashflow number.

Currie: How does a franchise business owner receive benefits and tax advantages?
Quattrocchi: When an individual becomes a business owner, he instantly morphs into two people. He is the owner that has to be compensated and he’s actually the employee in the  business that has to be compensated. So, he might have an officer's  salary where he takes out a salary and compensation there. And then he gets paid on the bottom line profit. But in reality, there are other certain advantages that we may take on the tax side. I like to divide tax expenses into three basic categories. There’s the “Ordinary and Necessary Category”, such as rent, utilities, repairs, salaries, and wages. Then we have what I call the “Hybrid Expenses”, that we all have as individuals, but because you are self-employed, you might be able to deduct some or most of those expenses. That would be things like your car expenses, cell phone, maybe your computers, your internet at home and things of that nature that you use partially or mostly using in your business. Then we have other tax advantage situations that I put in a third category simply because they are tax deductible. The most basic would be putting in a retirement plan. Retirement plan for a self-employed guy is basically where you take money out of one pocket and you put it in another, and you get a tax break for it. Obviously, you can’t use that money until you retire. It’s a tremendous tax saving.

Deck Medic and Benetrends Financial on Franchise Business Radio

Jeff Konopack, VP Franchise Development
Deck Medic, Inc.

I joined the Deck Medic team back in 2008 after owning a painting company for 20 years. Deck Medic has been in the outdoor wood restoration business since 1990. After running the old company for a few years it occurred to me that the best way for us to grow was going to be through franchising. Employees care about their check in two weeks, owners care about the customer calling us back for a maintenance coat in 2 years.

In 2012 we decided to turn Deck Medic into a franchise, it took a few years and a name change from Deck Bright to Deck Medic because of trademarks but in 2016 we started franchising. I am not only the VP of Franchise Development but an original franchise owner myself. We currently only have 14 franchises but have 3 more scheduled to join us next year already and hopefully we will have a few more sign up this fall for next spring.

Although we are “Deck Medic” we clean and stain more than just decks, we also protect Fences, Play Sets, Gazebo’s, Pergola’s and all outdoor wood surfaces. In addition we offer power washing service for concrete, paver patios, and house exteriors. Our wood repair options range from one board to a full re-deck.

Most of our customers are homeowners but we also handle a lot of condo and town home associations. With everyone sequestered at home this year we have been especially busy with most of the franchise owners already surpassing last year’s numbers.

I would say what has been most interesting since we became a franchise is dealing with the Covid19 issues. In the past we used to always print the quotes up in the customers driveway then present it to them at the kitchen table while we were there. This year we had to switch to more email quotes and early in the year while everything was still an unknown I would talk to the customer on the phone while I was on the deck and they were looking at me out a bedroom window.

One of the best things about the deck restoration business is that it is not only recession proof (we did well in 2008 as well) but apparently pandemic proof as well. In a normal year most franchises have more work than they can handle but this year we have all be busier than ever.

One of the unique things about Deck Medic is that in addition to the 30 years we have been in business and the training each franchise owner gets is that we have all of our own proprietary products. Our deck cleaners give our owners a competitive edge over the competition and since we make our own 100% oil based stain when the customer is ready for the maintenance coat in a few years there is only one place they can go to have that done, back to the local franchise owner.

Our typical franchise owner is someone who is a people person, they have to be able to communicate well with the white collar homeowners as well as our blue collar workers. They must like the outdoors and not be afraid to get their hands dirty. They have to be able to wear all the hats; estimating using our software, selling, scheduling, payroll, hiring & training, and billing.

One of the things I like about being a small franchise is that I get to know all the owners, their businesses and their employees intimately.

QUESTIONS:

Tell us about Deck Medic? What is it you do and what is the history of how Deck Medic was founded?

Tom Berger created the content included in this site.  It is based on his, almost fifty years, of business experience that includes 22 years with large companies, 20 years running seven high tech startups, and eight years coaching private companies and entrepreneurs.  Tom was one of the founders of a joint venture between Motorola and IBM in 1990.  The differences between large companies and small companies became immediately obvious.  Those differences were captured in short bullet points and notes.  Over the next 25 years, the list grew to be 983 items!  Some points were rather trivial while others were quite significant.  Many were based on the mistakes that he made!

Craig Lucie From News Anchor to Chief Story Teller - Part Two on Capital Club Radio

Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance and host of Capital Club Radio for Part two of his interview with Craig Lucie, founder and Chief Story Teller of Lucie Content and a star in the world of broadcast media. Craig started this company to shine a light on the positive things happening in our world and to share compelling stories that resonate with your audience.

Craig has two decades of news experience with multiple EMMY nominations and has won an EMMY for Best News Anchor. He has also received several AP Awards for his reporting and contributed reports to newscasts that have won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow awards. The Georgia Association of Broadcasters also recognized him as the best on-air personality in the state, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle named him as one of the 40 Under 40 recipients. Craig has appeared on ABC’s World News Tonight, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and HLN. He was recently one of a few journalists invited to have dinner with President Donald Trump in the State Dining Room of The White House while covering a State of the Union Address.

Craig graduated from Southern Methodist University. He and his wife reside in Atlanta and they have two children.

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

“Throughout this experience, I’ve almost come to the realization that there are two types of people in business. There are people who want to go out there and start a business and run a business; then there are people who just need to be put on the path to help that particular business succeed who have wonderful, fresh ideas.”

“Fortunately, things are going well. The sky’s the limit, is what I say, the sky is the limit.”

“When I was run over by a boat when I was in 5th grade, it was a big learning experience. I learned if you fight hard enough and you work hard enough, you will achieve what you want to achieve. When I had to fight to learn to walk again, I came back stronger as an athlete and that has helped in business as well.”

Craig Lucie From News Anchor to Chief Story Teller Part 1 of 2 on Capital Club Radio

Please join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Craig Lucie, founder and Chief Story Teller of Lucie Content and a star in the world of broadcast media. Craig started this company to shine a light on the positive things happening in our world and to share compelling stories that resonate with your audience.

Craig has two decades of news experience with multiple EMMY nominations and has won an EMMY for Best News Anchor. He has also received several AP Awards for his reporting and contributed reports to newscasts that have won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow awards. The Georgia Association of Broadcasters also recognized him as the best on-air personality in the state, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle named him as one of the 40 Under 40 recipients. Craig has appeared on ABC’s World News Tonight, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and HLN. He was recently one of a few journalists invited to have dinner with President Donald Trump in the State Dining Room of The White House while covering a State of the Union Address.

Craig graduated from Southern Methodist University. He and his wife reside in Atlanta and they have two children.

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

“If it’s told in a compelling way, it will get shared. When it’s shared, it drives conversations. When conversations are sparked about your brand, that is the key to marketing.”

“You change the perception. It’s all about companies and non-profits controlling their message, putting out their own content because in many cases a lot of these bigger companies have a massive social media following across Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. You might have 100,000 followers on Facebook. Why aren’t you giving them great content? They’re engaged in your brand.”

“Same thing, we’re pushing out these tweets, Instagram posts, Facebook posts to drive traffic to our content, which is living on our client’s website. So, we’re driving traffic to their sites.”

This week I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Andrew Ramroop, Master Tailor of Savile Row, from his Caribbean home in Trinidad.  In this intimate interview,  Andrew reveals some of the quiet details and influences that helped to shape his life as an entrepreneur and gives some sage wisdom for future entrepreneurs, especially entrepreneurs of color, to adopt.

Andrew Ramroop arrived in UK from Trinidad in 1970 with a burning ambition of becoming a Savile Row tailor. He worked ferociously hard to fulfil that dream. Today, he owns and runs Maurice Sedwell on 19 Savile Row, making bespoke suits for customers around the world.  He is also training a new generation of high quality bespoke tailors to ensure that Savile Row, one of London’s most famous streets, continues to epitomise the very best.  Savile Row Academy

Andrew Ramroop may be one of the most highly sought after creative visionaries in London for his ultra-bespoke tailoring, but, as he shares with us, his “navel string is buried in Tunapuna.”

That’s why, at the peak of his career as one of the masters of Savile Row, the owner of legendary craftsman and teacher packed his bags and returned just over a year ago to his homeland, with a singular mission to teach the refined and intricate craftsmanship emblematic of his trade to 27 lucky apprentices as part of a resurgence in fashion design, creation and marketability in TT.

Chris Krimitsos Author of Start Ugly on Visionaries and Influencers Podcast

Chris Krimitsos (L) and Rich Casanova (R)

Nick Rodriguez (L) Chris Krimitsos (C) Rich Casanova (R)

Talk to people that Chris Krimitsos has spent any amount of time with and you’ll hear descriptions like “changemaker,” “motivator,” “catalyst for change,” and “inspiration.” Whether it’s a major corporation’s CEO or a solopreneur, Chris is passionate about being a difference maker. Unlike the featured guest who comes in and delivers a keynote and leaves, slipping out the back door like a national celebrity, Chris Krimitsos is the passionate professional who hangs around talking to anyone who wants his time – to listen, evaluate, and affect change.

Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community.

Channeling that energy into creating a documentary, now he is making an impact globally. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings. This after having hosted and produced two TV shows earlier in his career. Of note was one of those projects being archived in the Library of Congress.



With a unique skill set programmed to stay out in front of rapid change, Chris Krimitsos – as a speaker, as a business leader, and as a source for growth – is empowering audiences toward better opportunities for succeeding in business in the 21st century.

Chris is also the author of the book Start Ugly a timeless tale about  change and innovation, told through the entertaining parable of Gregory Sharp. Gregory is a businessman who's youth was spent creating a very successful lumber business. But as he continues to grow his company, he becomes blind to the practices and tools that helped him innovate.  To order a copy CLICK HERE

Bill Sturm: Born into Collections on Capital Club Radio

Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews William (Bill) Sturm, COO of Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson & Hornik, LLP (Rausch, Sturm) located in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Bill has been with Rausch, Sturm for over 25 years. Bill started with the company putting away files and has worked in every department. After earning his Bachelor of Arts degree, Bill became Collection Manager and then was promoted to Executive Director and ultimately promoted to COO, where he has overseen the entire firm’s operations for the past ten years.

Bill earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He has been honored as a speaker at the National Creditors Bar Association’s national conventions.

Bill is deeply involved in his community from sitting on the boards of non-profits to private clubs and is committed to making a difference. Bill resides in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

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

“And so, he’s taught me along the way that in order to be successful in whatever you do…Eight hours isn’t even close.”

“And so, my father taught me a lot about having a mental toughness of whatever you’re going through and in the fact that if you can control your fear and whatever else is racing through your mind, you can push forward into these uncomfortable situations as you grow as a human being.”

…”‘What are you thinking?’ Because those thoughts are really generating your feelings… And I use that a lot now as a business owner because you’re worried about everything that happens within a business.”

“‘Tell the truth’ really came from Manny Newburger… And so, we really make sure that, obviously, the company as well as my children know the value in telling the truth.”

Jim Dawson and Harry Vander Krabben “Total Expression” Communication for Tomorrow’s Advanced Communicators Bringing the Platform of Expression to your Fingertips…

Jim is the CEO of ADI Marketing, a B2B sales support business. For over two decades ADI Marketing has been placing salespeople in front of the decision makers they want to meet. Jim feels strongly that prospecting and selling require two different skill sets. In addition, wouldn’t you or your salespeople’s time be better spent in front of the decision maker rather than chasing them down? ADI Marketing services have been used from Fortune 100 companies all the way to single entrepreneurs. www.amarketing.com

He is a coauthor of “101 Speaking Nuggets” (2016), “101 Prospecting Nuggets” (2009) and co-author of “Real World  Customer Service Strategies That Work” (2004) and has contributed to nearly 200 business and trade journals, including

Jim is the master facilitator ADI Performance, an executive training division of ADI Marketing. Over the last thirty years Jim has dedicated himself to developing and delivering training that acts as a catalyst, unleashing individual potential. Crafting a message that engages and motivates individuals to think, and, when people think, behavioral change happens. Popular with many different audiences, Jim’s life-changing programs have been delivered to thousands of participants. He is a speaker, corporate trainer/facilitator, columnist and author.  www.adiperformance.com

Jim’s education:

Government at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA ▪ May 2001
Jim served in the USMC and is a disabled combat veteran from Viet Nam. For as long has he can remember, he has been intrigued about the effectiveness of communications. In his opinion one of the most effective ways of practicing one’s communication skills is through “Improv.”

He is currently active in the following organizations:
 Georgia ForestWatch, Board Member
 Finnish American Chamber of Commerce, Past President
 Toastmasters International, Past District Governor for the State of Georgia, Rank #1 in the World under his leadership

Harry Vander Krabben has been in the Facilities Management industry for close to thirty years, and has given countless speeches and presentations to clients, management and at company conferences. He realized from the beginning that communicating effectively is essential to personal and business success. Acquiring knowledge is not enough;
continuous and deliberate practice is the key to being heard and understood.

Harry has overcome obstacles in this journey from being a childhood stutterer to becoming a speaking professional. In 2016 he co-authored 101 Speaking Nuggets and is a regular contributor to the blog, 101 Speaking Nuggets. Currently Harry is heavily involved in Video Production. He gained knowledge from books and observations and knew the only way to achieve his goal was...

David Feldman Founder of 3 Owl a Brand, Web, and Content Agency on Georgia Podcast

David Feldman is the founder and creative director of 3 Owl, a brand, web, and content agency that creates nimble identities, elegant technologies, and beautiful tools that equip clients for success. An accomplished guitarist and music-lover with an entrepreneurial mindset, he graduated from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School with a unique dual degree in business and music.


He has since dedicated himself to supporting and growing Atlanta’s booming creative community. “Atlanta has an exceptionally collaborative and imaginative culture,” he says. “I love this community, and I love how Atlantans come together as partners in our city’s unfinished creation.”

From 2008-2012, David was the business development and marketing director of Alliance Biomedical Research (now VitaLink), a clinical research firm founded by his father, Gregory J. Feldman, M.D. He rebranded ABR and helped grow the company into one of the world’s largest privately owned networks of clinical research sites.

David founded 3 Owl in 2015 with a team that includes some of Atlanta’s brightest creative professionals. The award-winning agency has helped build the brands and digital experiences of major Atlanta-based organizations including Mellow Mushroom, Mizuno USA, Emory University, and Center Stage Atlanta. Now a team of eight, the agency has already won many prestigious awards for brand identity, graphic design, and website design.

How to Chose the Best Healthcare Provider and Chiropractic Biophysics on Georgia Podcast

Dr. Mike Weiner
Optimal Spine and Body LLC



Dr. Mike Weiner is a chiropractor that has a passion for changing the healthcare system. People are relying on medication to cover up the symptoms. Dr. Mike Weiner practices a very research and evidenced based chiropractic technique called Chiropractic Biophysics. Through this technique that aims to align the spine into its ideal position, he finds that his patients not only eliminate their symptoms, but they get off their medications that they were dependent on. From there, it is his goal that every patient can live with more confidence in their health for a lifetime.



Dr. Mike Weiner is certified in Chiropractic Biophysics, has two case study research articles in the medical index, and has a desire to continue to research and document his care to help more people. He has been practicing for over 2 years and has recently opened up his own practice called Optimal Spine and Body. Everyone should have the opportunity to live as healthy as they want and Dr. Mike Weiner won't rest until every patient can achieve that without drugs or surgery.




Topics:
Healthcare trends, how most doctors are authoritative and don't listen to their patients, how the 3 prongs of evidence informed healthcare should work, trends with insurance, and how to chose the best healthcare provider for you and your family. Lastly, I want to talk about Chiropractic Biophysics, what makes it different, how it has helped myself, and how it can change the course of this country's health as a healthcare model.

American Fundraising Foundation and Weiser Strategy Group on Georgia Podcast


Kalley Dunn
American Fundraising Foundation







Kalley Dunn is the Director of Strategic Initiatives for The American Fundraising Foundation. The American Fundraising Foundation (Amfund) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a Platinum rating from Guide Star. It has been serving other nonprofit organizations for over 20 years and has distributed over $33 million for worthy causes.

Each year Amfund’s Board of Directors carefully selects organizations to support through sponsorship of their events.

In recognition of its 20 year anniversary, Amfund unveiled a new logo that includes its signature tree and a Golden Pear. The tree has always stood for growth and deep roots. The newly added golden pear is symbolic of the extra touch that Amfund brings to each of its nonprofit partners.

The history of the pear is extensive and best described as symbolizing wisdom, good health, longevity, and prosperity — all the things Amfund sees in the organizations it serves and the causes each represents.

And behind every golden pear is a great story. It may be the story of a child receiving special literacy assistance, or a woman finding shelter from an abusive relationship or an animal being rescued.

Every time Amfund helps an organization it is helping others. Each person has a “golden pear story” to share. That’s Amfund… The nonprofit with the golden pear

Calvin Gray with T-Mobile Talks Future of 5G on the Georgia Podcast
Atlanta is known as the cradle for wireless communication.  In our studio is ‘the man behind the mobile network’.  Calvin Gray was the first of four engineering employees for T-Mobile.  He will tell us about T-Mobile’s advanced technology, 5G and the future of wireless communications.
Calvin Gray is the Senior Director of Engineering and Operations at T-Mobile and is often known as the “man behind the mobile network.” He fell into the wireless industry by luck in 1984 and moved to Atlanta in the ‘90s, where he became one of the first four engineering employees for T-Mobile. His ingenuity helped to build the very first network site in 1996-97 – long before it was mainstream – and he has since helped the company build 2,300 cell towers and make significant enhancements to local networks ahead of the Super Bowl. To ensure the strength of the network, they enhanced it in a way so that it would cover way more people than T-Mobile currently serves and made it a point to leave the infrastructure in place to continue to serve Atlanta – a game-changer for residents as they prepare for the launch of 5G.
Topics:


You’ve been called the “man behind the mobile network” here in Atlanta. Tell us a bit about your long tenure with T-Mobile. How did you get started? What do you love about working with the company?
You are also an Atlanta resident. How has your work in Atlanta made a difference to your own community?
Tell us a bit about the work your team did to prepare Atlanta for the SuperBowl – and how you ensured the results of that work would remain for residents and visitors?
Why is Atlanta such an important market for T-Mobile?
What is the craziest memory or story you have of working in the field?
The launch of 5G is just around the corner. Can you tell us a bit about what 5G will look like for businesses here in Atlanta? How will it make things easier for consumers?

Health Insurance Alternatives and Well-being Benefits on Georgia Podcast

Robert Steele
My passion is helping companies grow revenue. Taking a company with $600,000 of revenue to a successful close on a $35 million dollar valuation, building the sales for a company with $6 million in revenue to more than $80 million in revenue or designing, building and deploying a product where we were able to license the product for $90 million dollars are the type of projects that excite me.

I have served as President, CEO, Founder and business leader at various companies and bring a record of success and expertise helping craft the strategic vision behind challenging initiatives and high-impact organizations. Creating startups to working with the Fortune 100, I love being the person that makes things happen. I enjoy speaking to groups, mentoring people, being a trusted advisor to other start-ups, writing articles or books on subjects I am passionate about and enjoying the journey we call LIFE!



I excel at transforming innovation into high value businesses, building and developing global organizations, and positioning my companies at the forefront of their category. Beyond expertise, I have an ability to get things done regardless of the internal or market challenge-this highly driven leadership style consistently inspires standout contributions from top-performing teams.




Topics:
2019 open enrollment
Healthcare is in a state of chaos
Alternatives to health insurance
Financial wellness
Companies need to offer well-being benefits not just wellness benefits

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.”
