Are you stuck? Could it be an addiction?

Wed, 08 May 2024 03:00:00 -0400

What a title for a show! What it really means is being stuck if that is case, how can we get unstuck and back on track. There is an old saying that if you don't know which road you are on, then your destination is not necessarily certain. We are ALL creatures of habit and these habits can be developed during the entirety of our lifetimes. Habits are learned behaviors and they become many times sooooooo comfortable that we assimilate them into our lives in a very indepth way with no thought whatsoever that this manner of behavior or way of living could be not only potentially damaging but disabling and hindering us from really achieving what we want the most which is to attain out life goals. The expertise that deals with these very hazy areas of our lives that in so many ways we self manufactured are not that easy to identify and require a totally observant person who can assess your life objectively and most importantly honestly with the goal being the best of breed for your life. We can ALL get stuck on something that seems to be good but really is a self imposed hurdle that we have set the bar so high that we sometimes giving up even trying. Join us and our accomplished guest as we investigate how to get you unstuck!Robert Ciolino, Voiceamerica.com Producer/Director - Ninon de Vera de Rosa. ninonspeaks.com Publicist - Dr. Andrea Adams Miller theredcarpetconnection.com

You Can Get In the Game Again!

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 03:00:00 -0400

In 1994 I had back surgery. Prior to that I enjoyed the game of golf on a very robust basis. After the surgery and the recovery when I tried to get back onto the course and return to one of my love of the game's, my backswing when went that back surgery and it has never returned. Hence, I have NOT played the game to any great degree since that time. I have a beautiful golf course home and every time I walk out on my deck that overlooks the course and look out to my left and see the 15th fairway and green and then in front of me the 16th hole from tee to green . . . well you can imagine how I feel when I see others who are close to my age, which is now fastly becoming age 72, enjoying the game that I LOVE. Today, our guest has an incredible twist on the game of golf and apparently he is going to place a smile on my face once again and bring hope to my heart that I can return to the course's once again! If you love golf as much as I do and find yourself NOT on the field of green anymore, you need to pay some serious attention to this show!Robert Ciolino, Voiceamerica.com Producer/Director - Ninon de Vera de Rosa. ninonspeaks.com Publicist - Dr. Andrea Adams Miller theredcarpetconnection.com

Genius In 21 Days??? For Real?

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 03:00:00 -0500

Today is what I term to be iconic. Ninon and I both have a passion to engage our younger generation into the world of Small business. Our younger generation is by far the most knowledgeable in history and this is largely due to the worldwide internet which is overflowing with data and most importantly content. You see, content will rule the roost, now and in the foreseeable future as well. I remember a commercial one time that had a line that stated A mind is a terrible thing to waste. You know, sayings like that sorta stick with you and are probably more pertinent to what we are dealing with today. One of the most daunting challenges of our days and times is Who is going to step into these large shoes of the small businesses of America when the Baby Boomers leave this world? This is a huge challenge and mounting more and more each passing day. The need as both Ninon and I see it is for mentoring of these younger generations and NOT from Professors of College's who repeat the same curriculum with nauseating results. What is needed is professionals who are engaged and getting the job done in the nere and now! Today, we have joining us such as individual who is making it happen on a global scale. Knowledge is Wisdom Applied.

Whiskey . . . Going ON!

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 03:00:00 -0500

I recall when I first came to CA in 1971 and the waving palms tree's, the streets lined with GOLD, It's the Golden State? Right? and the sun washed beaches, the babes! Now, that actually turned out to be for REAL! Well, at age 18 and seeking my destiny, now that I had traversed from the East to the West Coast was all lying before me. One of the institutions that I keot hearing about was a hot spot in Hollywood known as Whiskey a Go Go! I was of course too young at that time to take advantage of all of its particular benefits but none the less it was a somewhat household name in the Southern CA marketplace where entertainment was concerned. Today and i that tradition of the usage of the word Whiskey and the now reach that has been created by our special guest Douglas Smith who is expanding the name and scope of the name Whiskey. Oddly enough, Whiskey a Go Go is still open in Hollywood and ever popular as it has always been. Old ideas with a 21st Century twist has kept the 1964 vision alive and well and operational. Douglas Smith will now give us his perspective and journey of filling the bar of that icon business and other's besides with the literal Whisky varieties that will make the cash registers ring in perpetuity.

Who Knows About You?

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 03:00:00 -0500

BizZne$$ BuzZ has from it's inception in August of 2020, heralded the following three words. Unity, Relationship and Reciprocity. At the base of all this is a word called knowledge. We, human beings survive and thrive on the power of the relationships that we achieve, nurture and enjoy. Unfortunately and we have all experienced this, we have also been exploited and thus ultimately violated by the very relationships that we have come to know, value and TRUST. Wow, that is a BIG word isn't it? Largely removed from our current society and so hard to recover and re-emerge once again. You see, it all boils down to the word agenda does it not? For when something rears its ugly head at the most inopportune times in the midst of a trusted relationship, many times it was because we did not see that hidden agenda of the person who we were seeking to KNOW better. Today on the show we have a guest who is seeking to have NO agenda in the Power of Trusted Relationships and again our Publicist, Dr. Andrea Adams Miller has found a Diamond In the Ruff of the business world who'se agenda just might be one you are looking for right now. Let's find out what she has introduced to us today as Tom Chenault of Contact Mapping joins us on the show today!ur Show Executives: Executive Producer - Robert Ciolino, Voiceamerica.com Producer/Director - Ninon de Vera de Rosa. ninonspeaks.com Publicist - Dr. Andrea Adams Miller theredcarpetconnection.com

Our goal began and continue to be representing your interests as your Advocate and bringing forth YOUR VOICE to speak out and be heard all across this great land and YES eventually within the Halls of Government because one of the greatest fallacies of your existence is the use of the word Small in front of the word Business. You are anything but that. Small Business is responsible for 85% of all the hiring in this country and 50% of its GNP. These two factors alone bring forth the reasons for the removal of that word Small and the recognition that we are more so The Business In America!!!

Encore, American Warrior Holocaust . . . What Are They Hiding?

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 03:00:00 -0500

On September 9th, 2022, this show covered for the first time in its history a Live Event in Pensacola, Florida sponsored by Whistle Blowers of America.org During that show a now breaking story emerged that has compelled us to revisit what surfaced through one of the guests we interviewed. Bruce Sackman who authored the book Behind The Murder Curtain” whose subject matter is the intentional murdering of “America’s Finest”. Men and Women who picked up a weapon and defended the Constitution and the American People in foreign lands at a juncture in their lives when they are the most vulnerable and in great need . . . Professional Physicians, Nurses and others are violating a sacred trust and assurances that their best interests are truly being served? On the contrary, they are taking the lives so precious to themselves, their loved ones and this nation and destroying them lying in the very beds that they so valiantly fought and many became permanently maimed in the service of their country and the flag under which they did battle. Questions now arise I am sure in your minds . . . When did this happen? They will be answered. How could this possibly happen in America? These will be addressed and answered as well. Why was I not aware of this? You will be fully informed during this show. What is being done about this? This is the very reason we are seeking to raise public awareness of this travesty and stain upon American Honor. You the citizens of this country have been violated because it is your tax dollars who paid the salaries of these felons who are now behind bars to pay for their hideous crimes. Bruce Sackman is now retired and no longer in the service of this nation. His book that was published in 2020 has sold approximately 3000 copies to date. As of the airing of this show not one Major Media Agency has taken the time to personally interview him and cause a wave of journalistic inquiry to investigate and resolve one of the most infamous schemes every contemplated and in this show’s opinion . . . Everyone is involved!

The problem is that sometimes PRIDE or our own EGO's get in the way and we don't realize that there are resources and expertise beyond our years and they are willing and able to help us through some difficult and challenging times. A well worn book says it best. In the multitude of counselors, there is wisdom. What is wisdom? Knowledge applied. Are we at times in our businesses Know It All's? I will admit that I have crossed that line many times and have regretted later doing so. His clients appreciate his wisdom, understanding that his expertise helps them grow their businesses and increase their profit margins. Uncover the intricate connection between emotional intelligence, often referred to as soft skills, and achieving remarkable business success.

Uncertainty . . . Negative Word? or Wake Up Call To Opportunity!

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 03:00:00 -0400

TRUST. Big Word. A word that effects many, many aspects of LIFE, both Personal and Business! The divorce rate approaching now 80 percent??? Certainly a TRUST issue gone wrong and unfortunately as the marination process has progressed NOT just during the recent pandemic for almost three years but really even dating back to 2008 when we witnessed TRILLION DOLLAR Institutions being rocked and beforehand, it was not even a question that they could NOT BE TRUSTED! Could it haven't gotten any worse? Well in the opinion of this show, the answer that question is a resounding YES! I have been sounding the alarm NOW for over 2 years that the gestation of the word TRUST has birthed a more disquieting word with even graver consequences and that word is UNCERTAINTY! Recently, my partner Patrick Laing, also a LIVE Talk Host here. His show address is https://www.voiceamerica.com/show/4083/finding-certainty relayed to me that the number of hits on Google related to that word is in the hundreds of thousands. Obviously, it is on the minds of a growing audience and needs to be addressed before it births another word??? Today, I am interviewing a founder of a company known as Certainty Management. She has a genuine enthusiasm and an engagement mentality to not allow Uncertainty to Graduate to what WORD??? Let's not find that out but let's investigate what she is up to presently to prevent another birth of a word that none of us wants to experience!

Meet Dave Stevens . . . A story of a man who is NOT disabled!

Wed, 31 May 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Make no mistake about it. I am Pro Life. I have two wonderful son's from my first marriage and now 4 beautiful grandchildren from my two son's fabulous wives. Life is precious. It's a gift from God! There is a lot of hoopla going on out there over the recent Supreme Court decision regarding Roe v Wade and America is in turmoil once again, especially with the 2024 elections coming up faster than anyone can imagine. Through all this smoke it seems that the personage who really is most overlooked in the birth process, the child is lost in the dust of personal choice that many times results in the destruction of a life before its even presented to this world. I have said all this as a preface because my guest today was birthed into this world and with a disability of having no legs. Modern technology today , via ultrasound would have discovered this prior to the baby being born and in today's vernacular this child could have been aborted because it was defective, inferior or downright not what was contemplated or envisioned. Well get ready to meet Dave Stevens who is not just an overcomer but significantly succeeded at most everything he ever attempted and largely in the arena of competitive sports both at collegiate and professional levels of involvement. Dave's disability did not stop him, it propelled him to greater heights than anyone I am sure could have believed he could achieve. I for one would have liked to have met the parent of Dave Stevens to shake their hands and congratulate them on their foresight that saw in this child greatness that others would have marginalized or even eliminated. Join me today as we speak to Dave Stevens who can truthfully proclaim, that he has a life that has been well lived!

Powerhouse Woman . . . Christine McIver

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Power of the Woman. You have been hearing me say that more and more and the stats validate my claims. Now more than 20 percent of the entire Small Business Community are owned by women. They are without a doubt upwardly bound as far as income and many cases outweighing male owned businesses and one their hallmarks is that they are much more BENEFIT conscious towards their employee workforces as well. This is not a trend its a REALITY and I am joined by my guest today who will help to put more of an understanding of this movement and better yet she is one of those making it happen right now! My publicist Dr. Andrea Adams Miller has made it happen again for this show and you can reach her at http://www.theredcarpetconnection.com/

Crypto! You Might Have It and IF Not Pay Attention To This!

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Crypto! It's really an interesting word isn't it and of course words do have meanings so IF you take the time to look up this word, you will find this definition. The word cryptography derives from the prefix crypto- of Greek origin meaning hidden and the suffix -graph also of Greek origin and meaning to write. This name reflects cryptography's historical role as the study of codes for secret communication. Now this certainly coincides with the word that is becoming a household term which is Blockchain. All of us wish that we had purchased Bitcoin when it was 10 cents, because today, you would be a Billionaire most likely. Another word that is taking a turn with the world is Digitalization and you are alrady experiencing that one with MOST everything you are engaged in today and NOT just financially. Can you imagine one day waking up and there is no more Dollar Bills, Credit Cards, Checking Accounts, dare I say no more bank branches??? You know of course that banks are shutting down locations as we speak and the ones that they are allowing to stay open are being reformatted to the installation of Digital Stations to conduct financial transactions where you never see another human being, other than the one instructing you how to properly use this new machine. I think we need to delve into this more, would you NOT agree? Today, I have a guest on this show that is going to take you into the world of CRYPTO. Did you see the movie Tron? The visuals in that movie were startling to the say the least and I have no doubt that your ears will be perked to the content of this show today!

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Inventors. I recall when I learned that James T. Kirby who has a vacuum cleaner named after him and whom my first 5 years post-college years were spent in sales, management and eventually two Area Distributorships that landed me in my first real experience of owning my own small business distributing Kirby Vacuum Cleaners all over Southern CA Now you are saying what has that got to do with the title of this show? Well, that same person whose invention I sold for 5 years of my life also invented the ringer of the washing machine, which he sold the patent to a major company for the sum of $50,000. The point? How many washing machines are there vs. vacuum cleaners in the world today? Invention and minds behind them have marked the upward surge of mankind and foundationally built some of the largest corporations as well.. Today I have just such a person with me who took a thought, marinated on it to formulate an idea and now it has become reality and certainly not anything you and I would have ever come up with and yet??? I would at this point and time make a wild assumption that you have experienced this at some time in your life but when you were much younger and the thrill of it all was like a passing of few select moments in your life but very easily recaptured and engagement has occurred and you might even say . . . this will really put you into the swing of things! Join me as I interview another tremendous guest that has been arranged by my publicist Dr. Andrea Adams Miller. She has again truly found a diamond in the rough for you to hear about and enjoy. You can find out about her services by going to: andreaadamsmiller@theredcarpetconnection.com

A Hard Luck Story Turns Into a Promising Career, Meet Julie May

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0400

In business, there is a old, tried and true quote that many of you have experienced and when it occurs in your life, you have many times no other choice than to live this and have others observe your struggles and this results in your hearing Pulling Onself Up By Your Bootstraps. General George S. Patton had such a similar saying but his rendition I believe is far more description and lurid when he stated, I do not care how fall a man falls. I am more interested in how high he bounces. Julie May who now today has risen to the heights in business of many outstanding categories epitomizes the best of having mirrored these statements above and she is well on her way to NEVER having to repeat those actions. I have had many guests on this show that operate in her space within the business community but I have not to my knowledge had someone who had everything on the line in their personal life and she has overcome that stepping stone in her life and now she has developed Milestones that insure that she will conquer whatever comes her way in the future. Join me today as we delve into the past, present and exceedingly bright future ahead of Julie May. Once again, my publicist, Dr. Andrea Adams Miller of www.TheRedCarpetConnection.com has brought for this Diamond In The Rough caliber guest and I am encouraging you to get in touch with her for your similar needs of having someone working on your behalf, for your successful outcome.

Business Coaches? Your Choice Can Make A Difference!

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Business Coaching. That is more than a mouthful because it denotes two very important principles. The first principle is that Apart from vision, my people perish, the second is In the multitude of councilors, there is wisdom. I would like to focus on the second principle and that is the word WISDOM. Wisdom in its purest form is defined as Knowledge Applied. We can know a lot about everything and never discover the meaning the meaningful directions and applications that it could provide. Recently, I attended a CEO Conference that was hosted by Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and the central focus was a very succinct question, What's Next?. This evokes a hunger in the upper ranks of corporate management who in a lot of cases are running out of answers and they are even questioning the questions? Tried and true business principles and acumen have been ROCKED over the last few years and to some degree getting back to Basics seems to be the order of the day. Enter, the Millennials! The largest birth generation in history and without a doubt the most knowledgeable due to the advent of the global internet and along these lines they know alot but they are not acting upon it, especially when it comes to the formation of small businesses to replace the ranks of the Baby Boomer business era which is rapidly dissipating as we speak. Today, I have with me a Business Coach and while he is a young man, he is an author, speaker which means his words are being listened to with great enthusiasm and acceptance. Together will find out what distingushes him in the midst of a Business Coaching arena that is filled to the brim with competitors!

"Trouble Shooting" Wisdom That Brings About Breakthroughs

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0500

I have said many times in the almost now three years that I have been hosting this show that the definition of any business is to be able to forecast both Revenue and Expenses prior to even opening the doors. This is largely due to another aspect of business which is the KEY component and therein lies the Vision of that business and to borrow a time tested and worn verbiage that has withstood countless centuries of being misunderstood and you will find it in the Bible and it states that apart from Vision, my people perish. This of course is the solid state beginnings and launching of any enterprise from the offset. There is another consideration and perhaps as equally charged with importance as the above mentions. This is the monitoring and adaptability of a business to meet both challenges within its own sphere of reference and the responses necessary to outside encumbrances such as events or regulatory encumbrances that were not foreseen. In these instances and largely due to the suddenness and unexpected urgency created by these situations, outside expert interference that is suited to tackling internal problems and opportunities should be aggressively sought after because in the long run and without being too verbose, you just cannot know everything necessary to bring about the dreams, goal and aspirations that you embarked upon previously. The Medical profession and industry was severely tested during the pandemic and in many instances following still in a state of uncertainty and hesitancy. Many times a Trouble Shooter who can evaluate and present an unbiased opinion and assessment is what is sorely needed providing that the business owner is willing to appreciate and accept recommendations that were not necessarily in their overall plans or mindsets prior to the intervention an outside brain trust that now has their client oriented best practices and interests at heart. Today, we will meet just such a Trouble Shooter who has captured the interests of the medical community in a large way because she has clients at all levels and is mobilized on a nationwide scope of activities. Join me today as we now investigate what she is bringing about that is making such a dramatic difference in the business platforms of Physicians and Medical Entities who has embraced her wisdom and expertise!

Vcard Global Alumnist Guest . . . What Are They Up to Now?

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0500

I take Alumni very seriously. In fact when BizZne$$ BuzZ reappears with website and other media exposed platforms, Alumni (former guests) will be prominently displayed under their own section of the website, including their show link and contact information by industry category so they are readily accessible for contact. I don't think any other Small BizZne$$ medial platform has been quite so generous as to provide NO COST ongoing advertising to their guest's but this has been a goal of mine since the creation of this show. To help Small BizZne$$ to get their message out and their brand recognized is an honor and a privilege. Technology is changing by the second these days it seems and it stands to reason that this is not something that is likely to slow down in the future. The Virtual World is here and it is rapidly overtaking every other form of media and communications and with the Baby Boomer Generation retiring and the Millennials advancing into the Customer Acquisition (Source of New Business) space, the considerations are more than obvious that this is the direction that a business who intends to stay in business, should be actively and aggressively pursuing. The the day of the desktop, laptop, Ipad's is over and the advent of the Smart Phone as the vehicle of the future has been in the here and now and severely underused and largely overlooked as the blll board of the Small BizZne$$ Community and largely due to the potential expense and ongoing maintenance costs of the creation of their own digital application. My guests today have a solution to offer and they have been at this for several years now and you might even go as far as to say they were a large part of the Pioneers of this industry and they are not going to quit now! They are UP to something NEW and Exciting and more importantly essential for Small BizZne$$ to engage, adopt and employ into their platforms at a reasonable cost and with features that would be seemiinly unattainable at the pricepoint that they are going to be presenting. Vcard Global intends to be a pacesetter in the near future and today we are going to find out what they are up to on your behalf.

Mom's House . . . A Senior Resource and Best Friend

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0500

Seniors. Translation. Baby Boomers! One of the largest birth generations in American History and certainly one of the most prosperous and I am one of them and still in business to this day. Assets are only as valuable as the management of those possessions that can never be realized or accumulated again, because we as Seniors are running out of time! When situations such as health crises or family considerations arise, many times the disposition of these assets result in a fire sale because the wolves come out of the woodwork to pounce on your misfortune or ill timing in your life journey and the sad thing is that this is happening everyday in America, until now! Advocacy, has arisen and stepped into this problematic area in a company known as Mom's House.com. Mom's House is fastly becoming an invaluable Trusted Resource in the Senior market sector and is engaged on a nationwide reach with now over 800 professionally trained representatives ready to serve your needs to the utmost.

Bernardo Moya Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ bringing The Best You

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0500

When BizZne$$ BuzZ was in its formative stages as a radio communications platform the vision for the show was to cover three areas of the Small BizZne$$ concerns which were Advocacy, Resources and Expertise. Recently we have added Reduction of Operational Costs as an additional focus in answer to the current Inflationary Economy and the now continual challenges of a Post Pandemic America! These criteria are the yardstick that is currently employed to qualify the caliber of guest that appear on this show and to date we have had many outstanding guests that fulfill most but not necessarily ALL of those categories until today! Upcoming in the month of March, there is a movement coming to Los Angeles known as The Best You Expo which you can explore at thebestyouexpo.com This event is to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on March 3,4 and 5 and there is not only a bevy of motivational and informative speakers but a cross section of exhibitors that will be sharing their resources and expertise at many levels of involvement and impact. The Pandemic is now officially over as of May 11th, 2024 and Small BizZne$$ is now coming out of it's tunnel walking experiences over now the last almost three years of this debacle. Events and Outreaches such as this one are essential to the rejuvenation of the Small BizZne$$ community because it is well balanced with the Expert's (Expertise) and Assets (Resources) that could make a huge difference in YOUR business! Join me today as I interview the visionary of this upcoming event, Mr. Bernardo Moya. He is truly a Mover and Shaker and his fervency could not come at a better time and the heart that he has for others is more than evident. Mr. Bernardo Moya is a difference maker and his influence could not come at more opportune time!

Veterans Struggle With Affordability And Home-ownership

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0500

Veterans that served in the Post 9/11 Era are hurting in today’s housing market. Compared to previous veteran generations, Post 9/11 veterans have astonishingly higher cost burdens. Across generations of veterans – from the Korean War to the Gulf War – cost burden rates are below 25%. However, nearly 35% of post 9/11 are cost-burdened. These young veterans are more likely than the average civilian to struggle with housing affordability Looking beyond the cost burden rate, home-ownership rates, unfortunately, show a similar trend. 21st century veterans are far less likely than previous generations to own their own home. Despite having broad access to zero-down mortgages with favorable rates through the VA loan program, less than 50% of post 9/11 veterans own a home. These trends are concerning, and the differences between generations could reflect unique challenges for younger veterans. Obviously, recent veterans who are younger are less likely to be homeowners due to the fact that younger households are less likely to be homeowners. However, this trend holds when controlling for demographics.Today I am joined by Louis Brown who is seeking to make a difference for our warriors and help them to get a piece of American Home Ownership. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0TRhn-6icU You will be glad that you did!

The virtual world. That's a big V to some people but to the Small Business Community it's LIFEBLOOD. You see the pandemic changed the game.

Africa Is Rising UP! Jared Harrington Reporting

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Today is a show to shall we say round out the year? Normally a show like this one would be to summarize 2022 and look forward to 2023, with great anticipation, right? Well, you would be partially right but extensively wrong because this show is about an impending industrial revolution from one of the biggest continents on this planet. This continent is Africa! Let's approach this subject matter to peak your interest levels to click on this show and get out a notepad. First of all, let me ask you this question? How wealthy would you be IF you controlled 60 percent of the assets/resources of this planet? Goes without saying. You will would be not a Trillionaire but a Gazillionaire! Now, let's take it one step further, if you looked down at your P&L at year end and found out that your GDP penetration was less than 3 percent of the entire global economy and your operational costs of financing were 4 times higher than any other nation, what would you do to reverse that course? Well, today, my guest is not only a very talented professional basketball player but an advocate for Africa and fastly becoming a spokesperson who intends to right the wrongs and elevate the levels of economic prosperity and increased standards of living that his continent truly deserves. Join me today as we will pull back the curtain on the so called dark continent of Africa, which is on the verge of the creation of the next generation of potential Rockefellers, J Paul Getty's and yes Dale Carnegies but doing it African style!

There Is No Room In The Inn? Veterans

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 03:00:00 -0500

I have done several shows related to Veterans. Most recently a show that divulged and revealed that Veterans are currently being murdered in their beds, within the confines of Veterans Hospitals?? You can find out more about this by going to: www.veteranmurders.com There is another travesty within this realm and that is the unknown fact that currently 1.7 million Veterans are homeless in this land of plenty Yes we have many who forsaken their civilian status, underwent training, picked up a weapon and went off to a foreign battlefield to defend the rights of other nations whose FREEDOMS were being threatened to be destroyed and out of existence. Today, I am joined by a Veteran who has in the center of his heart the passion to see to it that indeed his fellow soldiers do have a roof over their heads and while he is a Mortgage Broker and his expertise is in securing the financing necessary to secure a home for a Veteran, he is also in relationship with others who are like minded and are seeking to begin to decrease, if not totally eliminate that 1.7 million figure of homeless Veterans on the streets of America. As we move into this Christmas Season, which is a time of joy, family, friend and Good Will Towards Men, we reminded that we should not overlook those who are in tremendous NEED and seek to DO something about it. This and other arena's of the Veteran World will be covered on this show today and you don't want to miss it!

MEC? Do You Know What It Means? You Better Find Out!

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Some years back, after CA had undergone some of most horrendous natural and unnatural disasters, the local paper headline read, Fires, Floods, Earthquakes . . . What's Next? Enter MEC! Minimum Essential Coverage! Politicians LOVE using acrostics. Remember when it was Washington, DC or even NYC and so went the nation? Well now it seems, that CA is now the potential Tsunami that has risen up and taken the stance that CA will do things it's OWN way and seek to influence the nation! Remember when our former President, eliminated the Obamacare Minimum Tax IF you didn't have health insurance coverage you were penalized to the tune of $1000? Well, its back in CA And that's not all now. IF you don't have your Medical Core Plan configured as NOW the CA Legislature has decreed, you are looking at a close to $3000 penalty fine/penalty, per employee for your lack of knowledge. The pattern is there. The results are obvious. CA is Revenue Hungry and the target is Small Businesses who are caught off guard! When Obamacare passed, 400,000 Health Insurance Agents nationally lost their jobs! They used to be your advocates! They would seek to not only protect you but to keep you INFORMED! Today, my guest is ON TOP of this newest move of our illustrious Governor Newsom and his legislative henchmen and we will delve into what they now consider ESSENTIAL (there's that word again), not only in this state but it seems that it could spread to others as well. You don't want to miss this show . . unless you feel like its ESSENTIAL on your part to be donating to governmental coffers! Oh by the way, my guest has a solution to all of this as well. In fact, his company used to avoid the CA marketplace like the plague. Now, he is is engaged and making a HUGE difference in protecting your checkbook. I think you should hear what is has to say and see this show as ESSENTIAL, don't you?

Shirley Luu . . . Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0500

This show now bookends the Small BizZne$$ Communities interests in the USA. The past show roster includes significant copy in the New York, Washington, DC, Virginia and Florida market sectors and we will continue to seek out pertinent stories and personages from this part of the country in the future. Today, we will visit Virginia, once again! Probably now and in the future, the insurance and financial services industries are one of the most impacted arena's of the spectrum of small business as a whole. Fire and Casualty, the necessities of operational protections and assurance not withstanding. The future of protection at the core levels of human involvement is an area that demands more investigative inquiry and actions due largely to the regulatory changes that have occurred most recently and the impending threats of the aftermath of those deviances in the future. Today, we have with us a mover and shaker' in the financial services industry with a particular focus on the life insurance and pension related areas of expertise. Shirley Luu is the epitomization of the now necessary engagement of one of the most challenging and daunting preservations of the Small BizZne$$ communities rights as American's and that is the securement of their assets during the most vulnerable seasons of life which is the formulation of an Exit strategy of their lifeblood businesses and the extending of the sweat, blood and tears into their retirement years with the assurances necessary that those years will be just as rewarding as the time that was spent in the creation of this peace of mind. Shirly Luu is a large part of bringing this about in the many lives and families of her clients and we will take a closer look as to her passions in bringing about the fulfillment of goals, dreams and aspirations of her clientele.

Millennials . . . Your Customer Now and in the Future

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Well the day has finally arrived. I have been hinting at this really since I began this journey of engaging the world of Small Business. We, the Fuddie Duggies (Now), The Seniors, The Baby Boomers, 76 million births, Hippie Era, Rock Concerts, Haight-Ashbury, Flower Power, Vietnam Era generation is fastly exiting and the advent of a larger generation, The Millennials, has arrived! There are marked differences between these two generations and for one, Millennials are better educated. While this is very positive, the fact that they graduate college and end up back in their parents house, for a longer period of time. In conjunction with this, they are waiting longer to enter into marriage and raising a family. What does this all boil down to you ask? The Baby Boomers will be gone in the coming years, 20 at most. They make up the larger population of Small Business owners and many are still at the helm of those business and largely due to the recent pandemic because their exit strategies or even future retirement plans have been turned upside down at best. The question now becomes . . . Who, is going to fill these large shoes of the Small Business owners after they are gone? We will explore this and many other aspects today with my guest who is currently seeking the answers to this up and coming generation known as Millennials!

American Warriors Holocaust . . . What Are They Hiding???

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0500

On September 7th , 2022, this show covered for the first time in its history a Live Event in Pensacola, Florida sponsored by Whistle Blowers of America.org During that show a now breaking story emerged that has compelled us to revisit what surfaced through one of the guests we interviewed. Bruce Sackman who authored the book Behind The Murder Curtain” whose subject matter is the intentional murdering of “America’s Finest”. Men and Women who picked up a weapon and defended the Constitution and the American People in foreign lands at a juncture in their lives when they are the most vulnerable and in great need . . . Professional Physicians, Nurses and others are violating a sacred trust and assurances that their best interests are truly being served? On the contrary, they are taking the lives so precious to themselves, their loved ones and this nation and destroying them lying in the very beds that they so valiantly fought and many became permanently maimed in the service of their country and the flag under which they did battle. Questions now arise I am sure in your minds . . . When did this happen? They will be answered. How could this possibly happen in America? These will be addressed and answered as well. Why was I not aware of this? You will be fully informed during this show. What is being done about this? This is the very reason we are seeking to raise public awareness of this travesty and stain upon American Honor. You the citizens of this country have been violated because it is your tax dollars who paid the salaries of these felons who are now behind bars to pay for their hideous crimes. Bruce Sackman is now retired and no longer in the service of this nation. His book that was published in 2020 has sold approximately 3000 copies to date. As of the airing of this show not one Major Media Agency has taken the time to personally interview him and cause a wave of journalistic inquiry to investigate and resolve one of the most infamous schemes every contemplated and in this show’s opinion . . . Everyone is involved!

Senior Guide Sends . . . Sonus

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0400

I remember in my younger days, you know those days when you didn't think it mattered that you cranked the volume of your radio in your car so you could hear Creedence Clearwater Revival, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or Jimi Hendrix? And then just to take it one step further I attended concerts of bands like The Who, who were known to rattle the walls of every concert that they performed in because the decibels of the volume of sound that were generated by the wall of amplifiers that was behind them brought forth the sounds of that band, louder than any other. Well today at age 70, after enduring all of that in my younger years and many years of subjecting my hearing abilities to that onslaught of volume levels of sound, I think my hearing is OK but can I really be sure at age 70? If you are a Senior, there is a reason that the Senior Guide Magazine https://californiaseniorguide.com/orange-county/ sent my guest to me today. Call it an ounce of prevention or just maybe a wake up call. You decide as we delve into the world of hearing. On by the way, this is radio only yes? You can hear me clearly?

Coming To America! . . . Africa!

Wed, 26 Oct 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Recently, I attended a CEO Summit in Lynchburg, VA on the campus of Liberty University. There were well over 600 CEO's from across America gathered under one roof to most likely find some answers and develop relationships that could further accelerate their various enterprises. If you have never walked around the campus of a mountain that has now become one of the largest and Americana ICON Universities in the country with a student body that would rival any college in the country, don't miss going there just for a visit. During my time there I met a very gifted grouping of black Americans and may I say at very high levels who are OUT TO MAKE A DiFFERENCE in these days and times that we now find ourselves in. Africa, is one of the largest continents on this planet and it represents as I learned, 60 percent of its resources but a startling fact emerged that it contributes less than 2 percent of the world's GNP! This is incredlble! All this potential and economically they are in the stone age. Well that is about to change https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVZwS4Fn94A and my guest today is a huge part of that occurring and now in the very near future he and others like him are about to open the floodgates of Africa and pour them into the American marketplace! Africa! Is indeed Coming to America and my guest today is going to tell you how he and his incredibly gifted TEAM that he has gathered around him are about to make this happen!

Well those days have past but the issue at hand is not resolved and both children and adults continue to fall into the daunting and frustrating category of Missing even more so today. By the founding of Q5id, John O'Hurley isn't just standing by in his twilight years of his life, he is engaged and doing something to solve this national and global dilemma right now with the formation of his new company.

Inflation Reduction Act? . . . A Rehashed BBB with YOU in mind

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:00:00 -0400

In November of 2021 there was a bill known as Build Back Better! The proposal was another 2.2 TRILLION of dollars to be spent on supposedly INFRASTRUCTURE. It passed the House of Representatives (No Surprise There) and it ran into a very BIG surprise when one of the Democrat's larger Senator's Joe Manchin said a resounding NO and the BBB (Biden's Business Bust) fizzled and faded from the country's memory. Unfortunately, it did not leave the memory of Senator Charles Schumer and along with his House Hammer, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi they crafted a rehash of a far less spending facsimile that was created to the tune of 739 Billion Dollars. They dropped the T and went for the B in spending. What is more suspect however is that the Senator that blocked the passage of the former Build Back Better previous legislation now readily caved and eventually supported the now renamed BBB. Yes, everything including the NAME changed to the Inflation Reduction Act. I find it very interesting that the words are initials IRA, especially considering that earlier to the passage of this legislation, the SECURE Act 2.0 eliminated one of most advantageous distribution options of the Trillions of Dollars now invested in IRA's, which used to be known as The Stretch IRA which allowed for less tax impact by stretching out the distribution of the Pre Tax funds over a number of years. Now, that's GONE. Enter, the new IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act! What is in this new, now passed legislation and HOW is it going to effect YOU the Small Business community at large! I have asked Natasha Friedman, my Political Centric Co-Host to join me once again. Together we will inform you just what this bill holds in store for you. Do you recall the number 86,000 associated with the passage of this bill? The IRS just swelled it's ranks with more soldiers to come and visit you. Where we are going to take you today is the land of What Don't You Know??? So, tune in and find out if you are in the Cross-Hairs of the Revenue Hungry politicians in Washington, DC once again!

Tax Time? Crunch Time is More Like It. I have my own rebranding of a government agency better known as the infamous Internal Revevue Service (IRS). Well consider this one, same abbreviation but now it reads . . . Internal Reclamation Service! Makes sense doesn't it? They are just reclaiming what was THEIRS to begin with right?

Meet Julie Muse . . . BizZne$$ BuzZ's Soon Power Woman Show Host

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Vision is one thing. Fulfillment is another. Today, fulfillment is what you will experience. The subject of this show was not on our minds at that time. Over two years ago when this show was originally crafted by myself and the late Founder of Voiceamerica.com, Mr. Jeff Spenard, we had a moment together where we futured this show and it's ultimate purpose and reach. During that time, we discussed specific markets, strategies, cultures, countries and of course additional show hosts. Primarily we were thinking that the show would work in other nations because let's face it Small Business is global not just here in the USA. One thing we never even contemplated was that the show could actually be expanded as simply placing it into the capable hands of an extremely talented and seasoned host who could take our message where men fear to tread. Women Owned Small BizZness! So today, you will meet Julie Muse! Julie is not only qualified to be a LIVE Talk Show Host but she is impassioned to take this platform in the realm of Women Owned BizZne$$es, beginning in the USA.

You will be pleasantly surprised at her gifts and talents and the mission she is about to undertake for the sake of every last Woman Owned BizZne$$ in America today. . to start!

Gary Reeves . . .Difference Maker . . . Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 03:00:00 -0400

A Difference Maker is an ordinary person who accomplishes extraordinary things by creating positive change in his or her community and in the lives of others. Difference Makers do not have to be famous. Difference Makers can be parents, coaches, or good friends. Qualities that can make someone a Difference Maker include determination, leadership, teamwork, inspiration, courage, excellence, integrity, generosity, compassion, etc. Admiral William B. Halsey stated so eloquently, “There are no great men. There are only great challenges which ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.” My guest today is just such a person and has made a difference in many Non-Profit's. Non-Profits are probably now the most needed entities, especially during trying economic times such as the spiraling inflationary economy and lack of resources that we are currently experiencing. Difference Makers are a rare breed and my guest today epitomizes their invaluable resources and expertise.

LIVE from Florida . . . Whistle Blowers Of America!

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Non-Profits. At times I think of these types of enterprises and remember when I was the CEO of one and eventually founded my own and served the Orange County area of CA for four years. During that time I gained invaluable information as to the infrastructure, corporate culture, missions and most importantly the interaction and relationship building between all aspects of the community which we were called to serve. The differentiation between a Profit and Non-Profit Business is largely due to tax treatments for this EVERY Non-Profit should be grateful to the foresight of former legislator's and President's that rightfully recognized that an enterprise needed advantage to accomplish MORE. Marvin Olasky, who wrote the book Tragedy of American Compassion was a historian that tracked the formation of these advantages and the end results when he compared the government welfare system's to the church's interventions into the welfare needs of the nation and the results where quite alarming when it was discovered that the allocation of funds to the original intent of helping Widows and Orphans were a match as far as the resultant outgo of funds to the community. Olasky later said in response to this book that he was actually praising the high achievements of women in major philanthropic organizations: From my study of the history of poverty-fighting in America, I found that it was basically women who ran the charitable enterprises. Men were involved, but it was essentially women who had the time to volunteer Non-Profits are a bedrock of resource to the community and provide services and resources that far outweigh governmental solutions. Without them, we are a nation that does not meet the total needs of the public sphere's of need. Today, I am interviewing the CEO of a Non-Profit during one of her LIVE events of outreach and education and the intention of this show is communicate the passion and mission of her organization. I think you will be intrigued and informed as to the value of Non-Profits when you hear what she is focusing upon. Join me as we interview a lady who is impassioned and engaged to make a difference!

Recession? Stagflation? Fantasy or Reality?

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 03:00:00 -0400

I remember a term known as Dega Vu during my lifetime. It was a Baby Boomer watchword and it means A Feeling of already having experienced a similar situation. My history includes being in financial services and in the late 1970's early 1980's with at that time President Jimmy Carter at the helm of the USA. During his tenure, the nation experienced a Recession and Stagflation which translated resulted in record high inflation and low economic growth. There is a monument in our nation's capital and etched in the stone are these words, The Past Is Prologue, translation being History Is Destined To Repeat Itself. Recently, we are ALL experiencing a return to the past which is frought with escalating costs that are rising on a cross section of our most valuable resources and assets, being energy, food, shelter and dare I say utilities? Furthermore, recently a report was released that we have indeed lost almost 3 percent of this nations wealth with the dismal GDP report findings. The question is what's being done about this and how is this going to effect YOUR Small Business NOW and in the FUTURE. Joining me today is a very industrious lady who has decided to tackle this recent development Head On and she is making no excuses to her rapidly expanding clientele as well. She also is heavily involved in the networking and relationship building of Small Business in her community and has a very robust following in that realm as well. The future is more uncertain and YOU as a business are experiencing that day in and day out as you endeavor to come back from the COVID 19 Pandemic shutdowns and shut outs that you have experienced during the last two plus years. Join me today as I interview a mover and shaker who is not about to withdraw from these daunting issues but has chosen instead to engage and bring about solutions!

Inter-Relationship Merchant Marketing? Is It Really Possible?

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 03:00:00 -0400

In 2016 while engaged with another global small business marketing thrust I realized that something was lacking and spent the better part of six months working with another competent individual and we both came up with a concept that revolved around the word Hub. Today, that word is largely proliferated worldwide. However, the application of the title of this show, has been largely overlooked. We all know that the surest form of marketing is Word of Mouth. The graduating upward result is the word Referral. The ultimate end game of marketing is Merchant Endorsed Referral commonly known as B2C today. Again, there needs to be another step even beyond this and this is what we will be focusing upon today. Tune in as we seek to make the impossible, possible!

A Publicist For My Small BizZne$$??? Come on man!

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Merriam Websters Dictionary defines a Publicist as the following: the business of inducing the public to have understanding for and goodwill towards a person, firm or institution. The Synonyms of this word further accentuate its functionality . . . Agent, Press Agent, Publicizer, PR Person, Advance Agent, Advance Man, Press Officer, Public Relations Consultant. Now if I am looking at this profession as a full time employee, I am looking at it incorrectly but if i am looking at this as an outside Influencer, then this makes all the sense in the world. Until I entered the MEDIA world, this type of support person was nonsensical to me because my marketing and communications of my small business could be better served in hard copy print, social media and other persuasions. Now I am finding that this person is indispensable and invaluable and that is WHY I am on a search right now to find the person who will complement the show and help us to take it to the levels that we have envisioned. Joining me today is Andrea Adams Miller and she has been very active with the show as she has set up two solid interviews and about to perform a third. I invite you to tune in to find out the VALUE ADDED that this type of expertise could bring to your small business as I inquire how to incorporate this into my own.

Real Estate Creative Financing? No! An Interesting Twist

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Real Estate. Long believed as not only a permanent roof over your head but an investment opportunity as well. We all know for a fact, while equity is a capital asset that can be drawn upon and the sale of your house, less capital gains taxes, ouch my aching back, can be very invaluable as your springboard to your retirement years or your cash out to pay for your Senior Chalet to take you to the end of life's road. So, this is NOT what this show is about but I had you going, Yes? This show is about a man, an entrepreneur, who has come to this country and not only made a name for himself but he has done it His Way Frank Sinatra never sung that melody but my guest today is hitting octave levels and symphonies that are unheard of until now. Is it possible to cut into this massive pie known as the Real Estate market and come away with a good size piece and whats more, it's covered in whipped cream, fruit galore and a huge cherry on top. Tune in today to discover what you don't know about Real Estate, because you will be glad you did!

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Almost one year has passed since the Co-Visionary Jeff Spenard, the CEO and Founder and Co-Orignator of BizZne$$ BuzZ left this world. We spent many long hours together crafting what you are now enjoying week in and week out and for that and your participation I am grateful and humbled at your incredible positive response to the show which is growing in popularity every week that passes.

Join us today to become a part of Voiceamerica.com history in the making. Live Host to Host interviews to bring about an explosion known as Audience Convergence!

Sir William Walsh - Success Coach visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 03:00:00 -0400

There are two components of any business and both of them are vital to the survivability of that business. The first is the ability to forecast revenue and the second is the ability to forecast expenses. Now you might be saying to yourself, what are you saying Frank, that I have to have a crystal ball to start or maintain a business? No, what I am saying is that you have to BE that crystal ball. Now, that you are thoroughly confused allow me to continue. In these days and times of UNCERTAINTY, the task that I have outlined above takes on an even greater significance than ever. So, IF you cannot achieve these critical arena's of your business you are going to need to seek WISE outside council to help you find the answers that you are seeking. My guest today is just such a WISE council and his multi-year, globally spanned track record speaks for itself. I am privileged and honored to have Sir William Walsh as my guest today and IF you are WISE, you will turn in to hear what he has to say.

Nexus . . .A System of Savings . . . For YOU

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 03:00:00 -0400

INFLATION! It's a dirty word right now and it fills our minds every time we see the gas gauge on our cars move closer and closer to empty. To say, that we are now living in the Carter era again is not that far from reality as everyday that passes we are experiencing a return to his policies. Do you remember what PRIME was during the time? My late Mother became a financial genius overnight by moving her monies around in Certificate of Deposits because the interest rates were climbing to the moon! The FED just raised their interest rates recently. Hmmmmm? You know the REAL definition of INFLATION is when the Government runs out of THEIR money and starts spending YOURS! Today, I will be interviewing the CEO of an emerging company that has decided to DO something about this and NOT wait until the changing of the guard in Washington, DC. Nexus is an idea who'se time has come and the circumstances that are presenting themselves economically at present more than warrants a serious consideration of its MISSION. Simply stated, every time you will SPEND you will SAVE! Let's find out what he's up to today!

Ret Lt Colonel Ted Blickwedel . . . American and Marine

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 03:00:00 -0400

While in keeping with my criteria of guest appearance qualifications which are Advocacy (A Love of Small Business) Resources and Expertise, which is the makeup of a the majority of my now more than 80 shows now in re-broadcast and available here on this magnificent network of Voiceamerica, I do and have addressed Politically-Centric informative copy. Today, on my show, i am interviewing a true American Hero who donned his BDU's and Dress Blue's and served his nation proudly as a Marine and is still serving that nation today. You may not agree with his politics but you cannot argue with his military service which has served and protected this nation. While he recently fought his last battle before formally retiring from his illustrious military career, he is still on the front lines for Veteran's issues of today. Most recently he has a Co-Authored book release entitled Broken Promises. In the past I have addressed the significant differences of Start Up Veteran Owned Small Businesses and the hurdles (Financial and Discriminatory) that they must overcome when they seek the same advantages and resources available to pursue their piece of the American Dream to be financially independent and to continue to serve their nation and their communities in the small business sphere. We will be addressing this and many more arena's to reveal the value and valuation of America's fighting men and women and how they are now experiencing the care and concerns of a nation that is in their indebtedness today!

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Now, well over two years since the advent of the most world shaking event in recorded history, COVID 19, we are on the precipice of possibly returning to a state of normalcy? Really??? Will there ever be a returning to the past? Will the past ever engage the new emerging problems that are in the status of NOW and the foreseeable future? I think not! Neither does my guest, today, Professor Lynda Gratton who has written a book entitled Redesigning Work. An appropriate title and subject matter in light of the current Small Business dilemma of a severe lack of workforce which is touted by our politicians saying that we have the lowest unemployment but pay little attention to the REAL issue, which is countless positions that are open and still remain unfilled!

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 03:00:00 -0400

There is an old saying and it's found in the Bible, the best selling book in the history of the world and in reading it as I do on a daily basis, this Proverbs 15:22, jumped off the page at me. Proverbs 15:22, In the multitude of counselors, there is wisdom. The definition of wisdom is very simple its called Knowledge Applied. We all take for granted that with the advent of the Wed/Internet, we do not lack for a subject matter known as INFORMATION but do we really have WISDOM as an outgrowth of ALL of this so called KNOWLEDGE?

Homeowners and Mortgages Have a New Wrinkle ADVANTAGE!

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Home Ownership, every person's dream! Here in America we probably are the world's leader in our citizenry being able to purchase and hopefully evenutually fully own the roof over their heads. I remember when I first started out with an apartment, 2 Bedroom that ran, now don't faint, $125 per month. Moving out of that into a rental home my financial obligation became $800 per month for a 4 Bedroom Family Style Home (2 children now added) and then it happened, my first home purchase of the home that I was currently leasing! Now my first experience with Home Ownership, carried a monthly outgo of $1200 per month, not counting of course property taxes! Four years later I traded up to the home I now reside in on a private country club (Golf Course View) home and life could not be better. But for most, that is NOT the case today! We are now riding one of the biggest BOOM markets in Real Estate and home's such as mine are now well over 1 Million Dollars and still climbing. This really puts a cramp on most families to acquire their first starter home as I did and more importantly the financial commitments that are associated with this ballooning housing market are daunting at best. Today, my guest has tackled these current issues and has come up with a very unique approach to Home Finance and there is no doubt in my mind that he is looking at one the most challenging arena's of the financial world today, which is Home Ownership. Creative Financing, Variable Interest Rates, Short Maturities, Yearly Renegotiated Mortgages (Depression Era Strategy), World War II GI Bill, Adjustable Rate, Hybrid and Sub Prime and dare I say Government Intervention??? The actions of the past are not enough for the challenges of the future! My guest today has come up with what I consider to be one of the most innovative approaches to acquiring Home Ownership with a tremendous amount of upside potential while at the same time, mitigating risk to such a degree that once you find out what he is up to, I think you will agree with me . . .The Future is NOW!

Having said that and that is a mouthful on its own. Today? You ain't seen NOTHING yet!

A Diamond In The Rough . . . Enter Certainty Management

Wed, 25 May 2022 03:00:00 -0400

The present criteria for being a guest on my show is qualified by three categories. Marketing, Communications and Reduction of Operational Costs. All of these are paramount to the Recovery, Rejuvenation and Return to Profitability that Small BizZnesses all across America are currently seeking to achieve. Hard Dollar Cost are typically FIXED Expenses that are extremely difficult to reduce and lately due to the inflationary spiralling economy even more so a challenge to manage. When push comes to shove, YOU are really getting shoved in these days and times. There is an old saying and it has stood the test of time because it is essential, to borrow a well over used term. IF a business cannot Forecast Revenue and Forecast Expenses it is in dire straits and the eventuality of going belly up sooner or later becomes ever more looming on the horizon of the life of that business. This dilemma is not easily solved and in many cases a business will seek competent, outside council that can readily assess their situation and provide significant remedies and get that business back to viability and steadfastness. In these days and time the word TRUST has been significantly overworked and has birthed another word that is even more disquieting, which is UNCERTAINTY! On another note, IF you discovered that you were being OVERCHARGED in one of more of your arena's of Hard Dollar Cost expenditures, would you bury your error or rationalize it. Whether or not you are a For Profit or Non-Profit Business Entity you are going to want to join me on my show today as I interview another CEO who has TRULY brought forth not only a cost savings platform but a mechanism that can not only put you back in the BLACK but KEEP YOU THERE!

Legacy Long Term Revenues For Non-Profits? Is It Possible?

Wed, 18 May 2022 03:00:00 -0400

My past tenure's of business experience includes a 4 year Executive Director, CEO position with World Vision, International for 2 years and then CEO of my own Non-Profit under their tutelage and guidance of for an additional 2 years of service. So believe me, I know the drill of not only managing but also owning my own Non-Profit with all the bells and whistles that accompany that Market Sector of Service and Finance. One thing that always reared its ugly head is the reality that YOU were responsible for EVERY dollar that came in the front door and those that left out the back. It's like living in a glass house/fish bowl because EVERYTHING that you said, did or spent came under such scrutiny because the money at your disposal was NEVER your OWN because either through Grants Public Funding, Donors or Private Corporate Contributions you lived or died on someone else's Approval or Generosity. Needless to say, I found myself in a constant state of PROVING our Mission and our LONGEVITY based upon the eventual APPROVAL of both my Executive Advisory Board Members and the communications to our capital base that kept the gears grinding with the cash necessary to run the machine and keep the iights on! The thought of LEGACY never entered my mind, because the day in and day out of just making what we had at our disposal WORK and serve the MISSION that we had undertaken was enough for any one lifetime. Is there a better way to finance philanthropic venture's now or in the future? Well today, my guest and I will explore that very arduous task because to my knowledge the ONLY Non-Profit that has really stood the test of time in this elusive category is the Presbyterian Ministers Funds which established an ENDOWMENT strategy of utilizing the procurement of Life Insurance being placed upon ALL of their Ministers dating back to the year 1716. From that time to today, that fund has placed LIfe Insurance up on the lives of EVERY Minister that ever donned a white collar and went to work for the betterment of mankind. Today, there are Billions of Dollars in that fund all due to the leverage that life insurance provide whiich is being there at the time it is needed the most Another verifiable points is that banks, yes bankers invest 25% of their total assets in the life insurance industry??? You mean to tell me that those funds don't go into the coffers of their banks alone? Hmmmm, do they know something you don't? My guest today, is out to spread the word amongst Non-Profits today that there is a better way. He is a former NFL Football Player, a Best Selling Author of a recently released book and a tremendous testimony of a LIFE that was almost cut short and a LEGACY that would have been very short lived. Join me today as we rediscover the VALUE of what a LEGACY LONG TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGY could mean to the world of Non-Profit's who are in desperate need of a solution to their financial Merry Go Rounds.

IRC 125 Money For You . . . Money For Your Employee Too!

Wed, 11 May 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Pay attention to this one! Do you have a minimum of 5 or more employees? Jump into my Time Machine and come along on a journey with me. 1978! A long time ago and yet? Very fresh in my memory, because at that time, I was just two years in the insurance business, which I was engaged in for well over 20 years after that with a large General Agency in the Southern CA area. I had just started my agency a few months ago and engaged a rather boisterous and overbearing Co-Partner who sat down with me and informed me about IRC 125. There began a journey, largely at his lead and direction that ended up securing 5 out of the then BIG 8 Public Accounting firms, with names such as Arthur Young, Arthur Andersen (No Longer There a Casualty of Enron) etc. My agency was in a direct referral relationship with these prestigious firms to implement and administer Section 125 of Internal Revenue Code, which at that time was a saving grace that enabled both the Employer and the Employee to recapture both Hard Dollar Cost Expenses, including insurances and payroll expenses and the employee resulting in having MORE TAKE HOME PAYOLA! . . . and all of these with the blessing of the IRS! We now hit the lever of our time machine and return to the year 2022 and years have now passed since those days and have now largely faded from my memory and most importantly from the realm of the Small Business Community . . . until today! You see, your larger companies jumped all over this because it meant MILLIONS of found dollars back in their Corporate Coffers and a smiling workforce as well. Small Businesses were largely overlooked due to their reduced size and the prohibitive costs of administration and implementation. Today, on this show you are about to discover one of the most invaluable employer and employee benefits ever envisioned by our government and a company that has taken the Bull by the Horns and is not only Nationally Scoped but now focused on bringing this incredible platform to the front door of your small business one day very soon! The CARES ACT SBA EIDL and 2 rounds of PPP are all long gone! Another mechanism has emerged that will result in FOUND revenue's returning to your Small Business cash registers! There is an old saying, Salary Attracts, Benefits Retain. You will find out today what the magnitude of that statement can mean to your bottom line, the financial welfare of your employee's and to help keep your CASH FLOW ledger in the BLACK . . . day in and day out!

COVID 19 Protocol? Is It REALLY GONE?

Wed, 04 May 2022 03:00:00 -0400

The jury is in. The verdict has been determined? Or has it? The bouncing ball and up and down Yo-Yo decision making by the NIH and CDC during this so called Pandemic has been at the most haunting in many respects. Only recently has the Dr. of Doctrine stated that he was finally relaxing the extensive and prohibitive COVID 19 Protocols that have managed literally the lives of EVERYONE on this planet due to the fact that LARGELY the United States supposedly has the finest medical resources and solutions to mostly everything that can strike a human being and this including the so called vaccine that Dr. Fauci is now spouting as the main reasons for the pulling back of the COVID 19 incursions that have effected the lives of Billions of people worldwide. During this time, there was the upheaval of No Touch, No Taste, No Proximity. I mean you name it and DISTANCING was the order of the day and WIPE DOWN the strategy of KILLING the Virus on surfaces on EVERYTHING. Today, and especially in light of these recent improving conditions my guest will inform us of a product that will KILL not only the COVID 19 but just about everything else that could possibly infect a human being. Join me today as we delve into a solution htat could counteract a possible return of the COVID 19 onslaught of rules and regulations once again.

Craig Shah of ELEVATE visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 03:00:00 -0400

The POWER of Relationship! I have been speaking this out since I began this journey in August of 2020. Now almost two years into hosting this LIVE show I am more convinced than ever that the show description that began this mission is more fervent than ever before. UNITY, RELATIOSHIP and the LAW OF RECIPROCITY are the KEYS to Small Busine$$es Recovering, Rejuvenating and Returning to PROFITABILITY! Recently and through a direct referral of one of my Alumni Guests, I was invited to interview and cover an event in Marina Del Rey at a beachfront home with an incredible panoramic ocean view event, a movement known as ELEVATE. The word was definitely within my show copy you will find the phrase, Elevate Your Brand and Expand Your Reach! Not only did I interview and video my guest today but a good deal of the participants that he invited to this 3 day long event. I have been to many motivational weekends in my now over 50 years in business but what I experienced and the testimonies of ELEVATE that you will soon see on Voiceamerica.com Facebook, YouTube and the LIVE Events Channel will more than validate the reason I have asked the Founder and CEO of ELEVATE to join me here today. The statement on his website says it all Entrepreneurs From All Walks Of Life Come Together to Elevate Their Personal and Business Lives All While Giving Back. I could have not said it better myself. Craig Shah, CEO and Founder of Elevate and another movement known as Mastermind is getting it DONE. Tune in today to find out what that can mean to you and your business!

Twins Chiropractic . . . Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 03:00:00 -0400

When I was in the insurance game for almost one-third of my life I happened upon a nitch market within the medical professions known as Chiropractic. I had several of these physicians as clients and what I discovered was that they knew something that I did not. That the human body has the capability of healing itself given the right alignment being achieved and this is a respectable assessment and radical departure from the traditional nomenclature normally associated with this profession, known as a back-cracker. In fact, the CEO and Founder of California Senior Guide Magazine, one of my premiere Sponsors and Advertisers just happens to be one of the most esteemed Spinal Sports Medicine Specialists and he has treated at very high levels of care over the years. Recently he has taken up residency with a firm that is rapidly expanding all across Southern California known as Twin Chiropractic. To have any business in the expansive mode vs a FoxHole mentality during the recent almost now two year pandemic is encouraging at best. Twins Chiropractic is in an expansion mode in the Southern California area and they are doing it within a realm that is not favorable to their financial gains because since the advent of Obamacare and the fact that most Healthcare delivery within the State of California is largely HMO driven,they are tactically addressing those shortfalls by performance of outstanding care treatment plans that far outweigh the additional financial out of pocket outlays that their patient load is subjected to due to this apparent discrimination being perpetrated against their encompassing medical delivery platforms. Today we will speak with one of their principal physicians and learn what is setting Twins Chiropractic apart from not only their competition but from the regulators whose policies have placed restrictions upon their ability to treat their patients with the best of care that will lead to their eventual recovery and return to sound health.

Crypto with a Twist, a Turn and a Touching Refreshment

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Crypto, somehow the spelling and the meaning of that word belies the former and present meaning that it employs today. Since the advent of Bitcoin, there has been a slow growth revolution in the financial markets and until recently largely non recognized by the banking industry on a global scale. Enter the pandemic. While CRYPTO as it is widely known today had shall we say cloaked beginnings because there at last count are more than 70 personal claims to the actual identity of the architect of Bitcoin, now there are seemingly countless Tokens, Coins, Digital Currencies and more being realized and marketed each and everyday. New terminologies such as Pump and Dump which accentuates the actual better known verbiage known as speculation has made a few people some serious money fast but at the expense of others who came to the game too late to enjoy what the RISK takers walked away with, which in fact was the largest portion of the monies that the Johnnie Come Lately's invested with the HOPE that the numbers would RISE as they had previously. You see, it dang well matters when you come into and establish a position in a Crypto currency because like anything else, there are OPPORTUNITY costs and you don't want to be on the short end of the stick. I for one, have personally experienced that tragic end and I have several positions with various Tokens and Coins presently because like it or not, the WAVE of the future is here and your money is going to to change as dramatically as we were all enthralled with the movie The Matrix when we learned that the Perception has indeed become a REALITY. Recently, I ran into one of the most respected and sought after Crypto Engineers who informed me that the day of speculation is OVER and that the advent of Useage and Hold was here. Translation. The Value of any Currency is based upon Who or Whom is actually using it in the world of COMMERCE. There is in an old saying, Dollars in Limbo are Funds That Are Stagnating. Don't believe that? Just look at the CD and Treasury rates in the past 5 years. The Banking Officers should get combat pay when the time to renew a CD comes due because the shocked look on the face of the depositor tells the whole story. You cannot get ahead of inflation, hmmmm what is it now, 7, 8 or have we broken through the dangerous double digit numbers that all of us remember from the Carter era? Do you get the impression that I am dancing through the tulips with you? Well, to be quite frank, I am doing exactly that. To cut to the chase, I recently plunked down some of my USD and invested in an emerging Token, soon to become a legitimate coin that could very well turn digital currency on it's ear! You have heard it said that you DO the Right Thing because It is . . . the Right Thing To Do! Joining me today, is the architect of a Token that is emerging that could very well ring true for YOU as the Right Thing To Do!

Persistence Pays Off . . . Eric Scotton Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 03:00:00 -0400

I have said many, many times that MEET is a very integral part of any business because anything worthwhile begins with the formation of a RELATIONSHIP. I don't just do a radio show once a week but I am also OUT THERE on the front lines week in and week out for you the Small BizZne$$ Community at large because anyone can surf the web or have birddogs on the street that deliver second hand copy or Headlines of yester-week but that is not and have never been my overall goal with this show. Each and Every week I seek to keep the data and content FRESH and VIBRANT so that you my valued listeners get the best that I have to offer week in and week out. In fact, this past week I was engaged by a movement known as ELEVATE, where I spent the better part of 3 days of my life engaging others including providing As If LIVE interviews of the Architect, Mr. Craig Shah and his member partners which will air on Voiceamerica.com Facebook, You Tube and the Live Events Network very soon. Meeting someone NEW Matters. The beginnings of relationships that could lead to something more, MATTERS. Taking the time to get to KNOW someone MATTERS. Several months ago, I briefly met my guest today Mr. Eric Scotton and while the first impressions that were initially lasting faded into possible obscurity, Eric did not take that first meeting lightly. One day a few weeks ago, my phone rang and Eric was reaching out to me after several months of silence and he took the time to exercise a valuable character trait in business commonly known as FOLLOW UP! I think that is sorely lacking today in business and it is a vital aspect of ANY Relationship because it demonstrated that the person being contacted MATTERS. Eric Scotton REACHED OUT and took a chance that a brief meeting of several months ago would be remembered and worthy of further exploration. Eric Scotton is desirous of Elevating His Brand and Expanding His Reach! Eric Scotton is interested in forming a closer bonding with a MEDIA Personality. Today, we will all find out what Eric Scotton is all about and one thing we know . . . He is Persistent!

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 03:00:00 -0400

When I began this show and my recently passing of my BBB Best Business Buddy, Jeff Spenard, Emeritus Founder and CEO of Voiceamerica.com for now 22 years and I first began to craft this show we BOTH Recognized that the necessity of the assets that Small Business were going to need to Recover, Rejuvenate and Return to PROFITABILITY was going to require some significant HELP!

Veteran Owned Businesses in America . . . An Honor or a Challenge

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 03:00:00 -0500

After World War II, 49.7% of returning veterans owned and operated a business. After the Korean War, that number fell to 40%. It’s been falling ever since – in 1996, just 12.3% of young veterans were small business owners. And today, only 5.6% of post-9/11 veterans have taken the entrepreneurial plunge. That is according to a new study of veteran small business owners, conducted by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University (IVMFSo why are we losing a potential class of business owners who come out of the military well equipped with important entrepreneurial skills such as leadership, teamwork, focus, organization and diligence? Indeed, a study by Experian found that veterans tend to own businesses with larger employee bases and have more longevity than non veteran-owned business. What’s more, about 25% of transitioning service members want to start a business, yet few veterans have the network, resources, or support they need to start and grow their ideas. Veteran business owners cite difficulty accessing capital as one of three core impediments to starting or expanding their businesses. Limited or no opportunities to network and difficulty developing mentorships were the other top blockers. More veteran business owners — 59.4 percent — use personal and family savings for their businesses versus their non-veteran counterparts. They are less likely to use bank loans than non-veteran entrepreneurs. Veteran-owned businesses employ over 5 million U.S. workers and cover a payroll nearing $200 billion, the report said. If the trends continue among younger veterans, this number could continue to go down as would the incomes for households of veteran entrepreneurs who have higher incomes and greater wealth. “We cannot continue to watch as veterans become a smaller and smaller part of the U.S. entrepreneurial populations. We must continue to encourage them to pursue this path, and support them every step of the way.” Today, joining me is a Veteran, while he has had massive struggles, he is making his own pathway and included in that is bettering the lives of his fellow soldiers. Did I say he is British? Tune in and find out more about how Baz Porter is making a difference and changing lives that have been in harms way!

Snap Delivers The Salvation of the Restaurant World, Revisited

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Recently a story broke across CBS that further empowered the very reason for my reaching back into my roster of shows and bringing forward one that aired last December. To put it succinctly, a restaurant owner in the City of Chicago, named Chef Ti and his lovely partner wife Nasya who own Mujani Restaurant And Catering, took a stand and said NO MORE These two brave souls Kicked Out Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash and others because they discovered that they had been paying out 30% of the retail cost of THEIR OWN FOOD to DELIVER IT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS! If you are a restaurant owner, driver or even a customer YOU do not want to miss this show! I have decided to set aside my time to bring this show to you once again.

Henry Ford and Elon Musk Would Take Notice Of This Business!

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 03:00:00 -0500

They say that necessity is the Mother of Invention. During the last two years the word ESSENTIAL has become a commonplace and accepted term as well, especially in the Small Business Community because quite frankly if during the early days of this COVID19 pandemic you did not mirror that word . . . YOU WERE SHUT DOWN! Most recently I walked into my Chase Bank, not in the midst of very many other depositors I might add and there behind the tellers cages or should I say bullet proof plexiglass walls, I found a huge wide screen media screen and the word that came up most often was CONVENIENT. During the pandemic that word was life giving to most who had found themselves distanced from their normal routines and NOW it is rapidly becoming a watchword as we come up and out of this morass and the general public has NOW come to EXPECT it to happen in their lives. Sooner or later this had to impact one the largest Small/Large Business Market Sectors, namely, the auto industry. More importantly, the resale aspect of that industry and that means when you get ready to change out your car or readily sell off this asset, my guest today will not only speedily accomodate you but he will make it the most convenient and seamless transaction you could ever hope to experience. Join me today as I interview a firm that has responded not only to the word Convenient but they are taking it one step further to another C word which is CONCIERGE!

Wealth Management . . . Overused Term or Vital To Your Future!

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Wealth Management. Two words that mean far more than what you or I can imagine and here is the reason WHY. You and I as Small Business Owners. This show is a Small Business that I own. Let's see, in May of this year, I will be turning age 70. Hmmmmm, one of these days, either voluntarily or involuntarily (Death or Disability), I will cease to generate current income to support my current lifestyle and thereby be in a state of DEPENDENCE upon whatever I have accumulated to date and those assets will be ALL that is there to generate INCOME to me for however more years that I have left to me. Let me ask you a very serious question. Ready? What have you done in your Small Business regarding an EXIT STRATEGY, when you get ready to hang up your spikes and call it day? If you cannot conclusively answer that question in a positive and assured . . . YES, I have it all handled! Then YOU need to tune in this show today because my guest is going to take you into her world of Wealth Management! Your future is UNCERTAIN or SECURE? The worst thing that can happen is that question being answered SUDDENLY and you are NOT prepared for whatever contingency presents itself to you. It's your future I am talking about. I know that you want to make sure that ITS A DONE DEAL!

Jim Britt Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ!

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 03:00:00 -0500

When I was in the Equities realm in the early 2000's, I was the President of a division of a firm that was responsible for examining the fat within the Corporate Infrastructure such as Pensions, Severance and Benefit Package's, including the Medical Core platforms of Employee Benefits. When I walked into meetings I was many time's the ONLY person in the room with gray hair! There is a meaning to gray hair in business, it means you have survived up to this point and time but more importantly you have been through the wars, ups and down's, regulatory challenges, tsunami's that come out of no where (Like COVID19) and today especially making the best of the minefields that Small Business has to walk through on a daily basis and be thankful for not stepping on too many of them. Today, i am joined by one who has that gray hair. Jim Britt. Jim and I will explore together the present situation here and around the world where Small Business is concerned and WE will approach this from a treasury of background and experience that many times would COST YOU many thousands of dollars to realize the value of the conversation that you are going to enjoy. Join us today as these two gray haired men bring two lifetimes of experience together for YOUR BENEFIT!

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! . . . Employee Mindset and Perspective Matters!

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Empathy, it is a HUGE word. The short definition to this word is, Stepping Into The Other Person's Shoes. Easy to say, hard to do! Having owned several companies in my life, I was always faced with finding the right person for the JOB, that I had a vacancy to fill and the countless applications that I reviewed is a large blur in my mindset because there is an old saying that states Looks Good On Paper But Does the Data Reflect The True Person?.There are countless books in the Human Resources world today that instruct employers in the How To of filling positions from a roster of openings and this is done each and every day. Job's are plentiful in America today but the American seeking that job has undergone some changes during these last two years and it has not been all that positive The mindset of the average worker today is that it's all slanted in their favor because of the shortage of qualified workers and most importantly the motivation factor of that worker once they get the job! Today I will be interviewing an author of a recently released book that is receiving very high compliments and stature on Amazon presently. This book is geared to help the employee have all the proper tools to get the best job that he can possibly achieve. Tools are important in your life and this book provides the necessary ones for not only the employee to get the right fit but the employer to fulfill his open slot to the best of both of their abilities and aspirations.

The current population of this world is 7.9 Billion people The number of smartphones far exceeds that as that number is well over 9 Billion in operation every day. Either there are some collectors out there who feel that they must have a communications device for every possibility that suits their fancy or technology is communicating the trend of the future through the very means of the overkill purchasing of this global reach of communications. When I was growing up I recall that the television that we had in the basement and NOT in every room of the house had 3 maybe 4 channels of watching on it. Today, and HD TV has hundreds of channels and no end to content that your heart desires. Billions of dollars of advertising allocation has been spent to attract new customer flow and still today, many Billions more are being spent to do one thing and one thing only and that is to attract a buyer to a product or to a service. If it seems that I am being too basic with you at this point of my dialogue well there is a reason for that. You have to be sitting in front of an HDTV to gain ACCESS to these commercials that are being flung across the global cable network and today, with all the distractions in the world, not too mention the major one COVID19 which will go down in history as much on the minds of the entire world as the rising and setting of the sun each day. We seem to rise with it and end our days with it and this is the direction I am heading on this show today. Where are you focusing not only your marketing budgets but your most valuable asset that is one that you are expending every waking day of your business lives and there is no way of recapturing any of it and that is your TIME. I would venture to say that every time you open your eyes and your feet hit the floor that before you venture out into this world, you check what has most likely been sitting on your bedside table recharging, which is your smartphone. Now you are in a certain time zone and that regulates your life day in and day out. The world however has multitudes of time zones and when you are rising from your pillow, others are placing their heads on theirs. What is the point of all this? Where are you focusing your message and your means in trying to reach your potential customer at his most optimum access opportunity? The SmartPhone is the BILLBOARD of your business, today, tomorrow and the future! Ask yourself a question, where does my potential customer spend most of his waking life each day and where can I even reach out to him in the night watches? It's the SmartPhone! You must be where your customer spends the bulk of his time and attention and that is the device which has largely become an extension of every human beings arm, worldwide! Today, I will be interviewing a guest who can not take you into this global marketplace but give you the How To's of the how and why of getting there and gaining the most OPTIMUM Opportunity that YOUR money can buy

Cash Is King . . . ERTC is ALIVE and WELL . . . Learn More

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Cash Is King or so the saying goes. It's a business statement that has withstood time and memorial. The NEED for this historic and long standing truth is ever more apparent with the failure rate of Brick and Mortar Small Businesses escalating far beyond what anyone could dream or imagine!. For some of you out there you have now ongoing payments to the SBA on EIDL loans that will go on for 30 years because these loans must be paid back unless of course you experience what is stated previously which is total business failure and even then they have a right to try and salvage whatever hard assets of your business are left that have value. Some of you may have been fortunate enough to have secured the two rounds of PPP fundings which had forgiveness, AKA No Pay Back provisions but those are now LONG GONE and Congress will NOT bring them back. Enter the ERTC, known as the Employee Retention Tax Credit. These funds became known around the middle of 2021 and they are substantial because they are based upon how many employees you had during both 2020 and 2021. A full six quarters of eligibility with the top step of funding being $7,000 per employee, per quarter of qualification!!! Oh by the way, these funds do NOT require payback as well. This money is available to you without any strings and you can use it to keep your business afloat during dare I say some upcoming Shut Downs??? Who knows where this pandemic is heading. We know where its been and we can see the OMICRON Storm Clouds now raining on us and even darker clouds on the horizon with clapping thunder accompanying them. I ran a show on the ERTC last year and at that time EVERYONE was under the impression that it was like a FIRE SALE with termination occurring on 12/31/21. That is NOT the case. Today, we will revisit the ERTC to find out what the real story is and the How To' that is available to you NOW for the procurement of these funds for your business! This information is being supplied by one of my sponsors, MODA Business Solutions.www.modabusinesssolutions.com, Keeping you Well and Informed is a good part of what this show is all about and today is no different!

Host To Host Interview . . . A Massive Movement For Your BizZne$$

Wed, 12 Jan 2022 03:00:00 -0500

I have been with the Voiceamerica.com IP Live Talk Show Host Network for now 17 months and it has been very much like the historical E-Ticket Ride which some of us used to enjoy at Disneyland. I am dating myself I know. My BBB (Best Business Buddy) Mr. Jeff Spenard, the former CEO and Founder of Voiceamerica.com who passed from this world last November 15th was in the process of appointing me to a newly forming Show Host Advisory Board, which would have been 5 selected Hosts representing the 5 networks to be advisors to the Executive Board as to the Measurability, Scalability and Suitability of Matching Up LIVE Talk Show Hosts within the vast Voiceamerica.com IP Radio to effect Host to Host interviews, which would eventually lead to what Jeff and I termed Audience Convergence! This vision that Jeff had before he left this world was part of his expansion plans to take the network to the next level and bring it to the notoriety that the newly released LOGO represents, which is a mainstream communications platform of both IP Radio and IPTV. Today, I have asked Ted Gavin, whose show is entitled Business Disrupted to join me and together we will discuss the value of what this strategy that is depicted about can mean both to this network and your small business as a whole. Exposing Host's and their following of audience's is a daring move that could very well turn into a Massive Movement that will propel this network to heights yet unachieved and YOU as a Small Business, giving serious consideration to expending some of your precious marketing capital outlays to enjoining with this network to shine a spotlight on your product or service and allocate your precious marketing budget to a platform where you can Elevate Your Brand and Expand Your Reach. Join Ted Gavin and myself as we engage and fulfill the vision and dreams of one who was a Giant in IP Live Talk Show Host application, Mr. Jeff Spenard, CEO and Founder of Voicemerica.com and who influenced my life as my mentor, business colleague and friend.

Arts, Entertainment and Entrepreneur . . . Classical

Wed, 29 Dec 2021 03:00:00 -0500

Recently, I have had a good cross section of Hollywood on my show. Actor’s, Actresses, Producer’s and Director’s have all graced my show of late and their contributions have given, you, my listening audience a “Peek” behind the curtain and wide screen as to what is actually happening in the “Hollywood/Entertainment” Market Sector. You see, entertainment is a BIG piece of the Small BizZne$$ community because it is a source of “Influence” on a Grand Scale like no other medium of communications that is now currently available or should I say limited availability because a good deal of Hollywood is still not back up to full capacity and the robust production levels that they once enjoyed prior to this pandemic and dare I say they are now searching for ways and means to do movie making and industry paradigm shifting that is unparalled in the long standing history of the entertainment sphere. Through the relationship that my show now has with https://shineonhollywoodmagazine.com/index.html I have been introduced to what I consider to be a “Mover and a Shaker” in the Arts and Entertainment Industry and most recently someone who went “Against The Grain” to bring to the battered audiences of America, a Classic Ballet Production known as “The Nutcracker”. Oddly enough, it is Christmas Time and my guest took it one step further, he had the production viewed in an open/outside staging with audience members rustling to find optimum seating to view one of the greatest ballet’s ever envisioned. My guest as the title infers is definitely an entrepreneur and as such an invaluable member of the Small BizZne$$ Community. Join me as we talk with someone who isn’t afraid to put it out there and let the “chips fall where they may”.

BizZne$$ BuzZ . . . Spreading It's Wings with a New Talent

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 03:00:00 -0500

A story I have told many times and in many settings really reflects what my show is about today. There was a certain bricklayer who was refacing the brick on an older four story building and when he had completed the work, he found himself on the roof with about 1000 lbs of bricks left over. Rather than sacrifice these assets he rigged an ingenious pulley mechanism with the use of a large barrel which he loaded the bricks into this barrel to lower them to ground. He went downstairs and untied the end of the rope that was anchored to the ground, unfortunately he forgot that he weighed only 165 lbs and the barrel with bricks now weighed 1000 lbs. Needless to say he was jerked upwards and encountered the barrel coming down and his injuries were severe. He then found himself hanging 4 stories in the air because he lost his presence of mind and never let go of the rope. The barrel crashed into the ground and the bottom fell out and with that the 1000 lbs of bricks. Devoid of this weight, the barrel now weighed 50lbs. A then rapid descent resulted in the meeting of the barrel on the way down and again multiple injuries occurring. The bricklayer found himself flat on his back, lacerated, bones broken and numerous internal injuries. Regaining his presence of mind, he finally let go of the rope and the barrel came crashing down on him. What is the moral of the story? The weight was too much for the limited capability of the bricklayer and because he tried to do the job alone, the results were catastrophic! Why this story? TEAM is a word that is essential to the success of any significant enterprise, namely this show. You may not know but I have a very talented TEAM at Voiceamerica.com who are committed to the success of the show and the maturing of its host. I could not accomplish the week in and week out rigorous requirements of bringing you the Best of Breed possible for your businesses betterment and prosperity.

The interaction between what we will bring and your participation with us will prove to be a true representation of what is the essence of Small Business in America.

Snap Delivers . . . Salvation For The Restaurant Industry!

Wed, 08 Dec 2021 03:00:00 -0500

Last week's show set the stage for the content of my show today. I have been tenacious in supporting and informing one of the largest market sectors in the Small Business Community which is the Restaurant Industry. Without a doubt the most embattled during this COVID 19 pandemic. There is an old saying that you can Hit a Man, When He is Down and that certainly is the case in a very important aspect of the inner workings of a restaurant and recently their major life breath of staying open and at least paying their operational costs to keep the fires burning until they can return to some state of normalcy and more importantly profitability. Well and this is a DEEP subject, PREDATORS, such as Uber Eats, Door Dash etc have arisen in the midst of this CHAOS that restaurant owners have been undergoing and they have been taking advantage of this dilemma to exploit the CRISIS of Take Out and Delivery and create monstrous profits and GROW their empires on the backs of Restaurant Owner, their employee's and the drivers that escort this HOT FOOD into the home of the purchasers. Just the other day, Door Dash was valued with an inate value of 16 Billion Dollars! This has been accomplished in just a few months and at the expense of those who seemingly had NO OTHER CHOICE! Well, now, that situation is about to change in a very BIG WAY because a former PREDATOR in this space has decided to return and bring about MASSIVE PROFIT WINDFALLS to restaurant owners, customers and drivers like nothing you have ever experienced. Today, I am interviewing the CEO and Founder of Snap Delivery, which is about to launch into this space January 1st and right now they are onboarding restaurants, customers and drivers nationally here in the USA as we speak. If you are a Restaurant Owner, Customer or one of these DRIVERS that are working for the PREDATORS, you don't want to miss this show because a paradigm shift is going to occur very soon that is going to be PROFITABLE for everyone concerned. Join me and my talented guest COO, as we discover together what Snap Delivery has in store for the New Year 2022 and beyond!

Encore: The American Restaurant CRYSIS . . . Revisited

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 03:00:00 -0500

There is a monument in Washington, DC that has an engraved warning, that is timeless and true because we are ALL living it today! The Past Is Prologue. Translation, those who ignore history are destined to repeat it! Enter, the Pandemic! On March 11th, 2020, a storm hit the world and it is still thundering in the distance as new so called variants are rearing their ugly heads and menacingly threatening to Shut Down the world again! One of the most embattled, if not the most impacted market sector of the Small Business Community at large is the Restaurant Industry. They have not only encountered a Virus known now as Covid19 but they have had to contend with the aftermath and fallout of those who think they know best in the offing. Today, I am replaying my very first show, because, for one, you my audience have been clicking on it as one of my Top Ten rebroadcasted show's and that is amazing in itself because it was my very first one and you would have to go mining if you wished to find it. Month in and Month out, this show has listeners that want to know more. This show as you will find was definitely Prophetic in content and estimations that are now a REALITY in this community present day. I now invite you to listen to my guest's who will literally mirror the media content of today with their commentary and insights. Restaurants are a large part of the fabric of America and the world at large. They afford that incredible aspect of togetherness and enjoyment that few industries provide. The loss of their influence and ambiance on society would be a tragedy indeed. Thank you for your attention to a show that aired last year and has become the headlines of today!

SAG Performers . . . An Invaluable Commodity

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 03:00:00 -0500

SAG is an abbreviation that stands for Screen Actors Guild which has been a mainstay and protective organization of Actors and Actresses in the realm of Hollywood since the year 1933. The Guild was founded in 1933 in an effort to eliminate what was described as exploitation of Hollywood actors who were being forced into oppressive multi-year contracts with the major movie studios. Opposition to these contracts included that they did not include restrictions on work hours or minimum rest periods, and often had clauses that automatically renewed at the studios' discretion. These contracts were notorious for allowing the studios to dictate the public and private lives of the performers who signed them, and most did not have provisions to allow the performer to end the deal. Now enter the COVID19 Pandemic of 2020 and now continuing into the year 2021 and perhaps even beyond! SAG Actors and Actresses have been severely challenged with their respective professions because Hollywood for all intents and purpose has been “Shut Down” and their viewing audiences “Shut Out” from the theater realm to see and experience these multi-million dollar production extravaganza’s and the enjoyment of seeing their favorite actor/actress perform. During this time, there has also been quite a shake out in the ownership of the the studio’s as foreign interests, mainly China have been swallowing up large, brand name production studios at will during these opportune times of lost revenues. Now that Hollywood is coming back, what will the future hold for these Actors/Actresses and more importantly what have they done to survive these many months of impaired performances? Today, I will be interviewing a SAG Actor and a Producer/Director who have weathered this storm and currently are like “Phoenix’s” rising up out of the ashes. Join me as we delve into one the world’s largest business market’s the film industry and discover how those whom you see and love have not only survived but have every intention of thriving into the future.

Software That Is Managing and Bringing In The Green

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 03:00:00 -0500

Recently in Glasgow, Scotland a meeting was held where Leaders of World Nations gathered to attempt to solve the impending Climate Crisis of this world that we all occupy. The magnamity of their efforts is something to behold and contemplate as to what was really accomplished being that the largest perpetrator of so called Climate Crisis, the nation of China was not even in attendance. The world is changing at a pace that would even startle Albert Einstein as man is moving down a pathway of uncertainty and largely abandonment and the future does not appear as bright as it was prior to the advent of COVID19. In just the last few decades the pace that mankind is on presently would be best attributable to the most Roller of Roller Coaster rides that anyone could ever imagine. Many time the solutions to critical issues and problems are so simple in nature that it boggles the mind that we didn't think of it to begin with in the first place. Today, I am joined by a guest that has a software that not only manages one of the world's greatest and life giving resources but brings about significant profits in the bargain. This software may not be beneficial to many business interests at first light but the magnitude of its application is vital and essential to the health and welfare of us ALL. Join me as we discover together what could very well be one of the largest pieces of the solution that recently was sought out by world leaders in the nation of Scotland.

First Impressions . . . Your Image Of Your Business Is YOU!

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 03:00:00 -0500

There is an old saying that Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder. There is another old saying that states that First Impressions Are Lasting. Is success equated with appearance as well? I would have to say that the answer to that question is a resounding YES! There are countless means to make you look, younger, thinner, more attractive and the list goes on and on. If you spent your hard earned dollars following the latest trends to make you look like someone on a magazine cover, you might very well go broke in the process. An industry that has emerged as the standard of excellence in providing the LOOK that women and men have been longing for and dreaming about is rapidly becoming an ESSENTIAL in the world of image, beauty and dare I say longevity. This industry was responsible for close to 87 Billion Dollars in the year 2020 and that was during the shut down of the COVID 19 pandemic! There is no doubt that Medical Aesthetics and the beauty and self confidence that it provides is here to stay and more importantly a growth industry far into the future. Today I am joined by one of this industries elite technicians with well over 21 years of experience treating thousand of patients who all say, I will always come back to be Rhoda-Fied! Join me as we delve into an industry that can make you not only look better and feel better but elevate that image of your business to a more desireable level as well.

Stories Sell . . . Your Small Business Needs A Memory Imprint

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 03:00:00 -0400

When I was a child and I had the flu or the measles, I remember my Mother taking the time to go to the Public Library and checking out several LP 33 Albums that contained productions of Hollywood Stars such as Perry Como, Bing Crosby and several others who took the time to reinvigorate stories such as “The First Christmas”, Moby Dick, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and many, many more that I have very fond memories of even today. What is it about the telling of a story that sticks with you and creates a memory imprint that in my case, follows you your entire life. To this day I can recall the storyline and the voice of these stars who took the time to bring to life the pages of these time tested works of literature and the experience that during a very challenging time of my life and the sicknesses that I bore as a child, helped me to weather the storm and increased my learning, comprehension and vocabulary because storytelling forces you to use your much overlooked aspect and power center of your brain capability known as imagination. Today, we have so much media and technology that cajoles and confronts us with messages that are crafted to attain agenda’s and actions that are not necessarily in the best interests of the listner/ viewer. Listening to a well recognized voice, first of all commanded your attention and the storyline of these incredible masterpieces of American Literature, retold and remastered by the talents of those that really cared about their listening audience is something that needs to be brought back in the here and now. I have said many times and especially here in Southern California that we live and exist in the “Disneyland of Distraction”. There are so many persuasions, productions and the proliference of same that vy for our attentions today and that many times the content just becomes a blur and nothing really hits home in our minds and especially our hearts as it should. Today my guest has a unique approach to educate Small Businesses about the value of story telling and how it can be implemented into the message that you are trying to communicate. You see, if your potential customer does not STOP, LOOK and LISTEN these days, you are wasting invaluable time, capital and ending up with a frustration factor of lack of new customer flow which is the lifeblood of your business. Join me today as I interview an entrepreneur who has taken it upon herself to make sure that your story . . . get’s told and more importantly retained!

Frank Shares From His Heart

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 03:00:00 -0400

My show today is rather different because there is no guest joining me. I have wrestled with undertaking this type of show delivery because normally my impetus is to seek out the fulfillment of my mission which is to be an Advocate for Small Business and deliver to you the best possible Expertise (knowledgeable guests) and Resources (Tools) that you can employ in your business infrastructure primarily at this point and time to assist you with marketing and communications and reduce operational costs. Many of my shows now numbering over 50 productions have sought to do exactly that and you will find by going back through my roster of shows that you can discover some valuable resources to help your business not just survive but thrive! Recently a Master Communicator Mr. Rush Limbaugh passed away and his modus operandi was to speak out for 3 hours per day conversationally and keep his audience interest at a fever pitch. As I said a true Master of linguistics and a compelling message. Paul Harvey, one of America’s radio icon’s held listening audiences spellbound as he relayed the day’s news, which had largely already been reported by other media networks in a manner that was not only understandable and entertaining but the retention of his words have spanned many generations and the playbacks of his talent are still heard in many corners of this world because the manner by which he communicated had a “stick-tuitiveness” that few commentators and orators have ever experienced. Today, I would like to take a few minutes of your time to “Share My Heart” with you. There is a background behind this show and the reasons why I took this responsibility upon myself to attempt to bring to you a platform where you have competent representation and a VOICE that has YOUR interests at heart. I hope you enjoy this show because I have thought long and hard about what I want to communicate to you, the small business owner. There is no script and dare I say any outline or notes because I want this to come forth as the title states from “The Heart”. I trust you find that my heart is truly focused upon you, the Small Business Owner.

Alzheimers . . . A Mystery That Needs To Be Solved!

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Due to intensive, worldwide research efforts for more than three decades to better understand Alzheimer's disease, there are still numerous mysteries surrounding the condition of this stealth disease and no immediate answers forthcoming. Arthur Godfrey said that few millionaires could afford the cost of cancer. Another saying has stated that you cannot put a price on your health. I for one would like to dispute that last rendition to say that that the price tag could very well be the highest you have ever encountered or paid because the ultimate cost could be your small business! Alzheimers disease is a slowly progressing brain disorder. In people with the condition, abnormal deposits of a protein called amyloid-beta forms sticky plaques in the brain, and strands of the protein tau twist around, causing tangles that ultimately kill brain cells and cause a loss of memory, thinking and reasoning skills. The MRI’s and CT scans show a brain at the end of life that has shrunk in size dramatically. About 5.4 million Americans currently have Alzheimer's disease, and the number is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years as a larger share of the population ages, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionand they are now aiming to better understand what underlies the disease, as well as improving methods of detection, prevention and treatment. Although this is not a complete mystery because many clinical trials of experimental treatments are underway, researchers are working hard to find a safe and effective treatment to slow down the onset of Alzheimers.Thanks to my JV Partner californiaseniorguide.com I am joined today by experts http://www.mildalzheimersstudy.com/ in this vital field of endeavor who will shed some light on this stealth disease known as Alzheimers. One of my favorite Uncle’s who owned a very successful construction company, passed away after a 17 year stint with this disease. While Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes far out weigh the numbers of those suffering with this disease, the devastating upheaval of social interaction between family and friends is tell tale of psychological impact of this disease. We will find out more about this stealthy, debilitating and aggressive disease and If you just happen to be a female business owner over the age of 55? You cannot afford to miss this show.

IRC Section 101 (a) (1) & 7702 . . . Need To Know!

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 03:00:00 -0400

During my tenure in the insurance business there were many, many occasions whereby an IRC (Internal Revenue Code) came to the aid of my clientele, especially small business clients and provided tax free, tax favored or revenue re-caputure provisions that provided tremendous benefits both short and long term. If you ever looked at the Internal Revenue Code you would probably be old and gray before you ever finished it much less understood it to any great degree. I was privileged during my career to be in relationship with five out of the eight then Big 8 CPA firms as my referring “Influencers” to their clients. Arthur Young, Arthur Andersen (now defunct) were names that were trusted and respected in that era. During the 1970’s a product known as Single Premium Whole Life was introduced and it was highly touted and sought after because the tax treatment on withdrawal was LIFO vs FIFO. This would mean that clients could literally take out their earnings TAX FREE up to basis (the original principal investment) and NEVER pay a dime of income taxes and with very attractive interest rate returns due the Carter “Inflationary” economy which had prime at double digit interest rates. Needless to say my agency earned a good deal of revenue from these IRC Codes that provided sorely needed tax relief for our clients. Today, I will be interviewing some very talented individuals and Alumni Advertisers currently with the show. They are going to inform us of two IRC Codes that will be of great benefit to you the small business both now and in the future. Judge Learned Hand of the United States Court of Appeals once stated, “Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.” Tax Avoidance is not possible but Tax Favored is always worth investigating. Tune in today to find out more about . . . What You Don’t Know!

In 2016 in answer to a glitch in a system that was seeking to benefit Small Business in America and other parts of the world, a very gifted colleague of mine and I entered into a converted effort for the better part of six months and not only did we re-engineer the existing inconsistencies with the system we were revamping but we created a mechanism that we termed as TheHubmart and the tag line became Inter-Relationship Merchant Marketing I would venture to say, that you as a business owner have never heard or experienced the benefits of that terminology and more importantly would most likely dismiss it as an impossibility of ever being achievable to any great degree of both effectiveness and subsequent Buy-In by the Small Business Community to any great degree of acceptance. I like you, know that cost of new customer acquisition far surpasses the actions and costs necessary to retain the existing customer base. Both focuses are necessary and vital to the survival of any business platform but the great challenge has been how do you provide balance on both sides of the effort and more importantly can you exercise on the most tactful and expedient business principles known as Leverage to offset the costs factors of a new and untested mechanism that could very well provide that solution. Enter GivBux. Joining me today is Mr. Ken Jones, CEO of GivBux, located in Newport Beach, CA. Ken has a devised a mechanism that will provide the following to your Small Business. Increased NEW Customer Flow, Reduction of Merchant Processing Fees with NO Change of Current Provider and what ALL Small Businesses are seeking and more so than EVER . . . Monetization of their Existing Customer Bases! These are high and lofty claims. Let's find out how he is bringing this into the world of REALITY

Restaurants In America . . . Pandemic Revisitation of NOW!

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Does history matter? In some circles particularly our current education system in America, history seems to be a minor vs a major subject as a large part of our American History is not only NOT being taught to our children but for the most part our military history being totally expunged from our national dialogue and printed materials. History does matter! The first President of the United States stated that a nation that forgets it’s history, ceased to be a nation. When this show was first broadcast, the title of the first copy was “The American Restaurant “CRYSIS”.” That show has been “hit on” repeatedly by you my listening audience and ranks as one of my most visited playbacks. Restaurants are not just a place to eat, they are a in fact a large part of both the community and financial makeup of metropolitan area’s as a whole. Restaurants for all intents and purposes ARE America! A testimony of this and a historical fact is the story of a family of farmers known as the Knott’s. They began as a berry farm with a roadside stand in the 1930’s and upon discovery of a cross bred berry that has now come to be known as the boysenberry and history was made. Mrs. Knotts began with a restaurant for her famous chicken and of course the dessert was the infamous Boysenberry pies that complemented the menu and satisfied the sweet tooths of the patrons that flocked to their location. The lines became so long that Mr.Knotts began to construct other amusements and stores with a pioneering ambiance and the rest of course is history that is now known the world over as Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA. In this case, the attraction of a restaurant that provided excellent food and a trademark that distinguished its cuisine launched an monumental enterprise that has served the differentiating tastes of it clientele for decades. What is even more amazing??? The lines for the Chicken Restaurant at Knott’s are just as jam packed today as they were during the time of Mr. and Mrs. Knott’s. Restaurant’s are part of the fabric of America and are a large part of the Red, White and Blue of our flag as well. During this pandemic that has lasted almost two years now, restaurants have been without a doubt the most embattled market sector of the small business community and hampered by pandemic birthed regulations that have stifled their very existences as many family restaurants have closed during this COVID19 pandemic and have faded into the memory of their patron who fondly “Remember When”.Today, I have as my guest a restaurant owner who dedicated his business as a battleground in the fight against lockdown mandates, willing to risk everything, only in defense of American liberty and Freedom. You will hear how his business has largely become that Phoenix rising out of the ashes during a devastating time in our national history. Join me as we discover together restrauteur's who have refused to throw in the towel and bow down to misguided regulators

Crypto? Not Just An Investment but More So a Versatile Tool!

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 03:00:00 -0400

I remember when I was a young man there was a song entitled, “This Is The Dawning Of The Age of Aquarius”. That song did not have that much meaning to me back then because for all intents and purposes it was not really in the realm of the 70’s Rock Revolution that I grew up within and enjoyed immensely as a “Baby Boomer”. Now in the twilight of my years remaining to me that song has an even greater meaning because it was I believe a prelude to a word we are now beginning to hear more and more and that word is RESET. In January of 2021, the then principal of Pay Pal, Elon Musk made an announcement to well over 26 million small business merchants globally that Pay Pal would begin to accept Bitcoin, a Crypto Currency as it is better known, a form of payment for goods and services. This was the first move of that payment platforms to authorize a digital currency as legal tender for the entire world’s commerce. This sent shockwaves through the banking industry as a whole because they were caught completely off guard with such a radical move as for the most part they had been dragging their feet and assuming that digital currency such as Bitcoin and soon Ethereum would be a passing fad and that the buying public would soon regain their senses and return to THEIR realm of currency and payments. Such is NOT the case today because another advent of “Alternative Coins/Tokens” has arisen and now there are literally hundreds if not thousands of digital currency offerings all vying to become the next Bitcoin or even beyond Bitcoin. Sooner or later with this onslaught of digital money transfer, management of this emerging juggernaut of payments has to occur, otherwise you could seemingly have a realm of “Chaos” in the midst of an idea whose time, like the song above has come to the minds and the acceptance of the buying public, who due to world economic failures and current monetary challenges are rallying to the call of the wild so to speak and now investing little or much into this volatile choice of growth and payments and the legitimization is now beginning to settle in that this is NOT going away anytime soon. My guest today has come up with a technological marvel that will not only manage digital currencies but bring a form of convenience and execution that will revolutionize small businesses worldwide! Small Business needs many avenue’s of payments for their products and services and with the rising costs of merchant processing fees on the horizon, these additional sources must be investigated immediately. Steven Hoffman, CEO of Newt has come up with a mechanism that will not only bring CONVENIENCE to your CUSTOMERS, a smile to your face but also revenue to your cash registers and Corporate Coffers. So needed today, would you not agree?

The Virtual World . . . What Don't You Know?

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 03:00:00 -0400

The definition of the word “Virtual” is existing, seen, or happening online or on a computer screen, rather than in person or in the physical world: The pandemic or in some cases now the endemic has brought upon the business community at large one of the greatest challenges in its history. For the first time ever, business other than our E-Predators i.e, Amazon, Ebay now Walmart etc has had to find a way to make relationships and resultant sales happen . . . without being physically present. The retooling of both marketing and communications has been momentous as virtual tools that were largely utilized once and awhile now have become an essential necessity and most likely will never be in the same status prior to the pandemic. The earth shattering results early on in 2020 resulted in small business not only being closed and “shut in” but more importantly “shut out” from access to their existing customer base other than by virtual means. We all ended up back in the classroom of learning “How To” continue our businesses from a position of being afar from our customers and potential customers. Along these lines of the need for education and strategies to overcome these new challenges, joining me today is Ann DeVere. Ann has been busy as a bee and reached back into her reservoir of knowledge and taken these recent changes “Head On” and created an educational platform both Virtual and Non Virtual and brought solutions forward that EVERY business out there needs to investigate. Join me today as we meet Ann and find out what she has been up to for your benefit.

Senior? . . . The Most Important Decision Of Your Life

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 03:00:00 -0400

I was born on May 20th, 1952 in Washington, DC. I was raised in Arlington, VA and my Father, was USDA for over 33 years, serving many national interests in his career as a public servant. Now at age 69, I am a Senior. I don’t apologize for that distinction and here is the reason WHY. Seniors now make up 16% of the total population of the USA to the tune of 47 million. We are a FORCE, both numerically and economically. But stay tuned. In the year 2060, the number of Seniors in America will DOUBLE. America is AGING right now, over 100 million will be over the age 65. Seniors are a HUGE Economic Asset in America as well. At last count, the amount of wealth transfer from the Baby Boomer Generation to their children and subsequent grandchildren will be well over 30 Trillion Dollars! This is the largest wealth transfer in the history of America! Enter the necessity of CARE to this generation that will be paramount in the coming years and in fact it already is rearing its pressing need, especially during this pandemic, which has decimated the Senior Community with highest infection and death rate of COVID 19 and now the Delta Variant which is plaguing America, right now! Recently, the word came forth that women over the age of 55 were the most susceptible to the onset of Alzheimers disease and that alone was a shocker. I am joined today by Stephen Eatman, VP of Marketing who represents https://www.sunshineretirementliving.com/ Sunshine is a premier provider of an expansive range of resources/services including, management of retirement facilities, Senior apartments, independent living, assisted living and memory care. Sunshine is focused on providing the best VALUE for the myriad of Senior related CARE concerns. Again, my current business relationship with https://californiaseniorguide.com/ has provided the introduction to this guest appearance and the synergy between these two platforms is more than apparent. Stephen and I will delve into the world of Senior Issues both during this national pandemic and now presently and the challenges that are rising up both to the providers of care and service and the Senior Community as a whole. If you are Senior/Baby Boomer you don’t want to miss this show because soon and very soon you could very well be facing the most important decision of your life and that is with Whom and Where YOU will spend your remaining, so called “Golden Years” of Retirement or possibly Long Term Care because one or the other will occur in your remaining lifetime that is a certainty in a NOW uncertain world that we ALL live in.

Anthony Trimino, Businessman, Candidate, Visits BizZness BuzZ

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 03:00:00 -0400

While my show is not primarily politically motivated/centric like the late Rush Limbaugh or the present Hannity, we are compelled to reveal to the Small BizZne$$ Community at large, those arena’s the politicians inevitability seek to tax and spend and place a majority of the burden on the backs of the business community at large. These overtones are rearing their ugly heads when our current President makes the statement that those that make $400,000 or less have no worry about new taxes??? Well, we will see how that pans out in the end. Here in CA where my small business is domiciled and most of my estate assets are housed has been enduring major regulatory changes coming from the CA Legislature and the approval of our current embattled Governor’s Office. Last year I hosted a show with Laurie Davies, CA Assemblywoman and Greg Rath’s Congressional Candidate where we addressed the now defeated Prop 15 which would have placed another tax burden on landlords and the trickle down effect would have raised lease rates to small businesses on a wide scale. Also on that show we addressed the CA Family Rights Act CFRA SB1383 which has now changed the eligibility to now 5 employee’s. Most recently the Workers Compensation has changed in CA to now COVID19 being a reportable and payable incident under current law. Another Welfare Income stream borne by businesses. Most recently I did a show on Calsavers.com that will require ALL Small BizZne$$es in CA by July 1, 2022 to have an in Compliance Retirement Plan for their employee’s or face a fine of $250 per employee, per month for the first 90 days and then escalating to $500 per employee until that requirement is fulfilled. California’s business community in this show’s estimation is under siege and asking itself . . . What’s Next? Today, I will be interviewing Anthony Trimino, a current candidate in the upcoming election for Governor of the State of CA. I will be asking him to inform us of his agenda for the Small BizZne$$ Community of CA as it makes up the majority of the entire business community of this State. CA used to be the 4th largest economy as compared with being it’s own nation and recently it has now slipped to becoming the 5th. Tune in as we interview Anthony Triminio, Latino American, Businessman and now running for the top job in the state. I for one am very interested in what he has in his mind to help my Small BizZness as well.

Printed Media Advertising? A Dinosaur? I Think Not!

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Since the inauguration of this show in August 2020, the focus has largely been to address the following aspects of a business platform. Marketing, Communications and The Reduction of Operational Costs. All of these are necessary to bring back Small BizZne$$es to the healthy viability that they once enjoyed. There has been some significant Fallout within the Customer Ranks as Consumer Confidence has been severely influenced due to the pandemic and the result of this has been a slower than anticipated recovery of the brick and mortar small business realm and NOW it appears that the pandemic that we thought had subsided, is rearing it ugly head again with the DELTA Variant. It is a proven fact that the cost of the acquisition of a NEW Customer is 7 times more expensive than the retention of an existing customer. A realization of this became more than apparent with the CRM Customer Relationship Management software came into being a few years ago in the form of Salesforce.com, PeopleSoft and others. The Shutting In of the Public due to this pandemic has resulted in the Shutting OUT of the Customer Flow through the doorways of the small business community. According to a recent consumer survey by Chambers of Commerce they discovered that 1/3 of Consumers were desirous of returning to their former places of business. 1/3 of Consumers were unsure of their future actions. 1/3 were not going to return at all. The effect of this is the necessity for Small Business to REACH OUT and not depend on their existing Customer Data Bases to carry them.. Traditional Newspaper, Magazine and Radio/TV advertising are floundering at best, other than to direct Consumer's like a HERD to the internet Predators such as Amazon, Ebay, Alibaba, Walmart, etc. ATT said it best. Reach Out And Touch Someone. Today, my guests, who own a Community Focused Advertising Platform are pro - actively assisting Small Businesses within their Communities to do exactly that. Targeted Print Media that impacts the Consumer in a positive light is dollars well spent for any business. We will see what TheOCLocal.com is up to and HOW they can help your business not just SURVIVE but THRIVE!

EIDL . . .GONE! PPP1. . .GONE! PPP2 . . .GONE! Enter . . . ERTC

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Capital is the lifeblood of any business large or small. The old saying Cash, Is King still rings true today and in the present days and times it is of paramount importance. Small Businesses for the most part of have been Burning Cash since March of 2020 due to a myriad of business interruptions, the largest being the complete Shut Down of their businesses for several months at the outset of the COVID19 pandemic and the results were devastating because at the same time a major occurrence ensued known as Customer Shut Out. What were the solutions during this debacle? Enter the SBA with the EIDL Loans at a very attractive pricing, interest rates of 3.75 percent with a mortgage oriented payback of 30 years. A $50,000 EIDL Loan with a year moratorium on NO Payments for the first year, rolls out in the second year at $229.00 per month for now 30 years or the business sells or fails which ever comes first. EIDL is unsecured and then came along PPP1 and PPP2, which was largely based upon employee payroll and sales statistics to secure these large fundings. Now they are both GONE . . . Long Gone and the Pandemic is NOT OVER! Enter, ERTC Now you as an employer with employee's can apply for funds and receive up to $7000 per employee and this pay out will be distributed over 4 entire quarters of 2021, with a termination date of 12/31/2021 when the program ends. Today, I will be interviewing two financial professionals that will inform you of all the parameters of this new funding from Uncle Sam and more importantly HOW you can get at it in the most expedient manner. Did I mention that even if you had previous fundings from PPP's that you are still eligible and the BEST part is . . . there is NO pay back required. Tune in as we look into this new abbreviation from Washington, DC known as the ERTC.

Pulling IN Your Horns, Or Spreading Your Wings . . . Expansion?

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Today marks a total of one year that my show has been on the air and as I enter my second year I want to say a special thank you to first of all my audience which now spans the globe because Voiceamerica.com is heard 24/7 everywhere. Next a special thanks to my Voiceamerica.com TEAM and my incredible guests and especially to Jeff Spenard, CEO of Voiceamerica.com, who exhorted me to Spread My Wings and Host my own show. From the beginnings of seeking to become an Advocacy Information Platform for Small Businesses and bringing forth Expertise and Resources to weather this pandemic, I think has been achieved because my next thanks goes out to my sponsors/advertisers beginning with Moda Business Solutions, who took the risk for the first 13 shows to get us launched and then came my present anchor sponsor, On-Fire Processing who funded the entire yearly cost of the show bring us to present day. Next I want to thank Mr. David Chase of UFinancial Freedom, Mr. Ken De Bose of Business Group Resources and Mrs Kim Marie Branch of Le Tip.com for believing in the possibilities of BizZne$$ BuzZ and their faithfulness for remaining as my Revenue Sharing Partners to again, present day. My show today is to celebrate my impending August 5th one year anniversary and to welcome back Bill Abbott, CEO of CA Senior Guide Magazine who I just completed a Joint Venture whereby I have become this magazine's Radio Host and Red Carpet Personality at their LIVE events. My altitude is elevating, the wings are spreading out to their widest span and Bill and I will discuss our JV and Bill's current expansion in one of his other business interests. If you are debating whether to jump back in the pool and get WET again in expanding your business, then tune in as Bill and I will bring you some encouragements to do exactly that.

Masks,Vaccines, Stimulus, Infrastructure . . . What's Next???

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 03:00:00 -0400

A significant event or should I say decision has caused an interruption in the roster of future shows and this has to do with the return of the MASK. Los Angeles County has decided once again to Lock Down millions of residents to the requirement that they wear a mask once again while being indoor. Once again, one of the largest market sectors in the Small BizZne$$ Community, Restaurants are being slammed once again. Most recently, you can see in Southern CA the remanent of the tents, canopies and hurriedly constructed patio dining and NOW, they will be subjected to that again. The Yo-Yo compliance rulings that have impacted this industry has been devastating to both profitability and the return of consumer/customer confidence in returning these restaurants with some sense of normalcy once again. Along these same lines, over 2,000 miles from Los Angeles, there is a wind of change coming due to the impending passage for the Infrastructure Bill which will be funded by 3.5 Trillion Dollars. Today, I will welcome back my Politically Centric Co-Host Natasha Friedman and together we will comment on what could be the most diametrically opposed piece of legislation aimed at the Small BizZne$$ Community in United States history. We will also be joined by two politicians who have been on the front lines challenging these punitive policy decisions and both of them are seeking seats of influence in the coming elections in the State of CA and the County of Orange. Join us today as we look behind the veils of both Civil and Federal incursion and it's most likely aimed right at you!

Remembering Richard Donner . . . Legend and Legacy!

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Richard Donner passed away recently on July 5th 2021 and an ICON in the world of film and television production has left behind memories of movies (see Superman) that have touched and spanned many generations of audiences. As a Producer and Director, Richard was involved in blockbuster hits such as the Superman Series of Movies, Lethal Weapon, The Goonies and The Omen, just to name a few. Today I will be interviewing a follower of Richard's who currently is working with two of Hollywood's Premier Producers and both have worked with Richard Donner in the past and who at present are jointly engaged in a film production with Basil, soon to be released that literally is out of this world.. Oddly enough we will all find out that he was in the midst of a tremendous gathering of his fellow colleague's who are collaborating with him to bring about a very timely and purposeful production that is in line with the headlines of today. Tune in and join us as we remember a Hollywood Legend and recognize the influence and talent that is still with us and still producing memories that are ongoing.

CalSavers . . .The Obamacare of Retirement in the State of CA

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 03:00:00 -0400

They say that words have meaning. My show today is again like turning the clock back to a different era when health insurance was structured more with the employer in charge and not the government/ medical community. Enter the word . . . Mandated. The synonyms of this word are quite startling, because they depict something other than what the politicians intend in their rhetoric that they purvey upon us all. Mandation is another word for command, decree, order, dictate. In the early 1970’s (HMO Act of 1973) during my insurance career, my secretary walked into my office and informed me that Washington, DC was on the line to speak to me. My agency had a good deal of group medical business on the books and Congress had recently passed legislation to fund Federally Subsidized Health, now commonly knows as HMO’s. I was going to be sent a roster of companies within a certain geographical areas of employers/companies with 25 or more employee’s to contact and relay to them this alternative in healthcare delivery and I was given the authority of “Mandation” to the extent that they MUST MEET WITH MY AGENTS. Fast forward to 2021 that incursion into the benefits realm of employer entities has now grown to a national healthcare infrastructure known as Obamacare. The Supreme Court now for the 3 time has ratified that healthcare in America and it appears that the argument for elimination has now faded into the sunset of failed attempts to remove it. There is an old saying that “Salary Attracts and Benefits Retain”. This is a truism in Employee interface and up until now has been left to the discretion and generosity of the employer in providing these benefits to his/her employee workforce. Not any longer. Today, my guest and I will be exploring a new move in the State of CA known as CalSavers. This is now a mandated regulation that will require all employers by June of 2022 to comply with the procurement of a retirement platform for their employee’s whether they like it or not, eventually down to 5 employee’s or more! You don’t want to miss this show as we will be dealing with another decree from Sacramento that less than 1% of the Small Businesses in CA are informed about. What you don’t know, can be devastating! Join us as we uncover what is on the horizon for ALL Small Businesses in the State of CA! Mandated . . . do you like that word?

Paul Anka . . . Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Paul Anka who is now close to celebrating his 80th Birthday joins us here today. I recall in my youth listening to his great hits like Diana, Put Your Head On My Shoulder and many, many more. While my generation and Paul’s are separated by only a decade, the contribution that he has made to the lives of millions worldwide with his melodic and soothing tonality has impacted my generation and those that followed. Paul Anka is now a seasoned performer and at the robust age of 80 he is still very active and will soon be touring once again as he delivers the songs of an industry giant the late Frank Sinatra, some of which were authored by Paul Anka. Most recently in tandem with vocalist and actress Olivia Newton John, Paul released a hit single “Put Your Head On My Shoulder, which has become a present day Tik Tok sensation and soon he will release another single from the title track of his newly emerging album entitled “Making Memories”.Paul has also recently been featured in a CA premier Senior Guide Magazine https://californiaseniorguide.com/ Paul Anka is a timeless and tested performer who has now in his sunset years emerged once again an example that you are never too old to make a difference. Tune in and rediscover the talent and the tenacity of a man who refuses to quit.

Kivon . . . the KING of Fashion visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Arts and Entertainment are a main staple of American Society. Consumers and Family especially flock to the latest Hollywood release and readily purchase over priced tubs of popcorn, candy and soft drinks in anticipation of spending a few hours distanced from their worlds and entering a world of fantasy and fervor. This segment of the Small Business Community suffered the most astringent “Shut Down” policies due to the terminology “Social Distancing” I still find that quite a combination of two words because how can you be Social and be Distanced and on the reverse of that how can you be Distanced and still remain Social? Whomever came up with that combo of words did not have a PHD behind their name or maybe, Ha!, they did! That fact still remains that it seems that anything that brought people together or results in them having FUN, largely was “Kaboshed” and eliminated for almost two years now. Well, the bans are OFF and it seems as though things are returning to normal??? I don’t think so. I don’t think even “A” normal is even a possibility but we have to find a way to now exist in a word known as CHANGE, because that is where we are today. Small Business is a lot like Hollywood in some respects. I own a small business and I have to turn the key and open my theater every day. I have to inspect my holdings to make sure that they are in premium condition. I have to pay special attention of my supporting cast of employee’s to see that they are at optimum levels. My box office proceeds are vital to my survival. I personally have to be at Tip Top Shape and Acuity because I am the “Billboard” of my business. The stage is set, the lights go up, the audience is in place and its time to PERFORM to those who are discerning and more so today . . . discriminating. Today, my guest has a name in front of his that epitomizes who he is, which is the word KING. Kivon, has made a NAME for himself and he is one of the most diversified SAG Actors that I have come across during the travels of this show. He has weathered the storm of COVID19 and has a message for those who are still struggling with it’s fallout. Kivon and I will explore his robust life and what he is now and about and WHY he feels so comfortable with that word King in front of the word Kivon!

Meet Frank Helring . . . Natasha Friedman Interviews a Life

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 03:00:00 -0400

RISK is a four letter word in business, that epitomizes the word Business. If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen, it was once said so eloquently. Today, I have asked my Co-Host Natasha Friedman, who joins me for Politically Centric Shows to interview me personally. I have never done this before, especially on LIVE Radio, so this will be a first for me and of course for YOU in learning more about who the Host is on this show. I am very much looking forward this and i hope you will join me and Natasha to sit with me as I share my life with you.

Keep On Truck'in? . . . America's Highway Sentinels .

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 03:00:00 -0400

During my career in the insurance business I had many business clients and not the least of these being Owner Operator Long Haul Truck Drivers. Their profession is not only highly skilled but essential to the economic sustainability of this nation. Products are worthless unless they can be transported to stores that market to the consumer. At one time a long haul truck driver could earn after expenses a good living for his family but today with rising costs, the owner operator ranks have shrunken to single digit representation of the industry. Gone are the Peterbuilt and Kenworth days of prosperity and stature. Rising fuel, insurance, equipment, maintenance and reduction of income is effecting long haul truck drivers in a very significant way. Today, my guest is an expert in the field of long haul trucking because he owns a company that puts the load onto the trailer. He is a small businessman with a very rich history because he is an immigrant from the Ukraine who is proud to be an American and he is living out his American Dream. He is deeply concerned about his industry and his now American Homeland and we will cover both of these contingencies on the show today. You see, there is a paradigm shift happening in this industry that you don't hear much about in the general media because . . . Truth, has stumbled in the streets! You are going to hear today how this vital provider of services is becoming embattled and more so looking at alternatives to their present dilemma. The American Truck Driver . . . An Essential element of the future of America and the World!

Soul Train's Alumni . . . Visits BizZne$$ BuzZ

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 03:00:00 -0400

It's the Souuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!!! Soul Train . . . more specifically the alumni of the most long term and globally syndicated weekly television musical extravaganza show are visiting BizZne$$ BuzZ today! You have heard me say many times that Vision is a huge part of any individual beginning a small business and just such a man by the name of Don Cornelius, who held many seemingly less than influential jobs had a passion in his heart and he birthed Soul Train on October 2, 1971. Soul Train then ran for 35 years ending on March 27, 2006. The show primarily featured performances by R&B, soul, dance/pop, and hip hop artists, although funk, jazz, disco, and gospel artists also appeared. Don Cornelius is no longer with us as he passed away in 2012 and the attendance at his funeral of the “Icon’s” of the music industry tells of that stature that he left behind him. The Soul Train “Alumni” Group while small in number carries the passion and the furtherance of the essence of what Soul Train created which was the Black Rendition of the Dick Clark American Bandstand platform which impacted the lives of million of young Americans every week as well. Don Cornelius was a man ahead of his time as Soul Train elevated the musical talents of hundreds of black and white musicians including the revered Michael Jackson who appeared on Soul Train. You, Baby Boomers out there and dare I say generations who need to learn the making of a masterpiece of music delivery and dance artistry. Join with us on the show to today to honor the memory of an American Icon and the legacy that still lives on today and performs as they did 35 years ago for the enjoyment of audiences that still recall the magnitude of the image of a “Rocking Train going down the track and a resoundingly memorable sound and exclamation that prefaced the show which was “It’s The Soulllllllllllllllllllll Trainnnnnnnnn!

Scam . . . Scammed . . . Scammer!

My guest today is Lon Gibby, CEO of Gibby Media. www.gibbymedia.com He has a personal story to relay to you to help you avoid what he encountered and experienced as a small businessman. American Greed was a show on cable that I never missed. It seems that every time another episode came on I was transfixed to the screen to find out what else was out there that I was not aware of and more importantly exposed to as a small business. There are predators in this world and there is an old saying that White Collar Crime seems to be the most prolific and least prosecuted because the prey are usually those that are caught off guard and by the time the realization comes about that they have indeed been taken to the cleaners, the thief is long gone. You would think that because of this proliferation of this type of crime that law enforcement would be more cognizant and on top of the these instances but for the most part in my particular case where I was taken for thousands of dollars on a presumably legitimate business transaction the end result was the filing of a police report with local officials and the hope that the perpetrator who was out of state would be followed up by the agency that was closest to the domicile of the thief. This is really an exercise in nothingness and once that reality set in I proceeded to contact the corporation that had been represented with out their knowledge and their intellectual property, verbiage, documents and logo's had been visibly been utilized and upon contacting them and providing them will every piece of data including all hard copy documents, emails, phone texts, voicemails, zoom records etc. The response that I received from their legal enforcement division was that they would no longer pursue any action against this individual and recommended that I seek out law enforcement agencies to resolve my dilemma. Talk about round robin. I was right back where I started, which the local police who are certainly over burdened and unable to accomplish my ends with their now limited personnel, budgets and now the attacks to put them out of business all together. If you are like me not a day goes by that I am not receiving a call that informs me that my social security, income taxes, mortgage payments, insurance coverages, credit card interest rates, medical coverages and the subject matters of these SCAMS go on and on and get more and more creative with every phone call or mailing that I receive. Today, my guest and I who is now a large of part of BizZne$$ Watch as our new MP4 Video Resource will share with you a harrowing and devastating instance the occurred in his business that almost put him out of business. Along with my guest there will be additional commentary by a private investigative firm that is dealing with Small Business SCAM activity day in and day out. Have you been scammed? Well hopefully not. The goal of this show is to see to it that you are forewarned so you can be forearmed.

Wed, 19 May 2021 03:00:00 -0400

They say that there is no I in the word TEAM. You cannot win a baseball game unless you have 9 men on the field and many more in the dugout and bull pens. You cannot win a football game unless there are 11 on the gridiron and many more talented team members on the bench. A Publicist is a person who promotes!

Dr Sharon Jones of "Coding The Future" visits BizZne$$ BuzZ!

Wed, 12 May 2021 03:00:00 -0400

My show today is somewhat a turning back of the clock to a time in my past where another man and myself both with an Equities background sought to re-engineer another platform that was seeking to launch a cash back digital delivery system into the USA Small Business marketplace. This system was European originated and had many flaws within it not withstanding the fact that there was no Unification mechanism within that system to achieve what was so desperately needed at that time and place and even more so in this day and age . . . The Banding of Small Businesses Together! You have heard that word spouted during this pandemic many times as We are all in this together and that is very true and yet . . . UNITY is NOT Being Achieved other than ALL of us being Shut Down.UNITY is more sorely needed even more in the Small Business Community at large, RIGHT NOW!. Well the end result for six months of back breaking work and sleepless nights and countless Facebook messaging and Skype Video calls was the launching of a company known as TheHubMart and now you hear that word Hub in the midst of many company names today. B2B is the joining of business entities into relationships where the end result is that they trade amongst one another. B2C is Business to Consumer and that is where you see Amazon, EBay, Alibaba, Costco,concentrating their marketing thrusts, just to name a few and the success stories and stock prices speak for themselves. Today, I am interviewing Dr. Sharon Jones, who is a Host of her own currently on Voiceamerica.com LIVE Talk show entitled Coding The Future. Soon and very soon Voiceamerica.com will have a new look and mission and part of this re-emergence will include the formation of a Host Advisory Board which I have the honor of being selected along with four other Show Hosts to engage in moving towards a worthwhile goal of B2C but in the media world it will be termed Audience Convergence By show hosts like today's guest Dr. Sharon Jones enjoining together and cross marketing of being on one another's industry related shows you create such a convergence due to the respective listening audiences being exposed to another Voiceamerica.com LIVE Show Host.and vice versa. A true, Coming Together! Dr. Sharon has a heart for both education and the difference that her Top Tech Tools that can be implemented into your business platform in the future. Today is historic for this show as Dr. Sharon Jones and I will bring about Audience Convergence by conferring with one another around a Common Ground, subject matter known as Small Business. It's going to be very interesting what she and I will discover together for the sole purpose of benefiting both of our audiences and of course . . . You, the Small Business Owner!

An American ICON

Wed, 05 May 2021 03:00:00 -0400

There is a movie that spans the ages entitled It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart as the main star. I have referenced it several times since this show was launched and I cannot think of a better remembrance to explain and honor the life of the individual that I will have with me on my show today. One life removed can be devastating as that film depicted. One life who has made a difference historically and globally. is who you will meet today. There is a generation that is almost extinct. The World War II generation. This guest has a life that spans many generations and is still impacting them today. You see, he is a brilliant engineer who was born under the shadow of the old North Church in Boston. A symbol of American Freedom. At a young age he encountered an eye disease which forced him behind closed doors where he began toying with crystal radio sets. This led to the invention of the Walkie Talkie, which was used largely in the war years. He then at a very young age was applying for a job at the prestigious MIT and they noticed his abilities and put him into a very elite educational platform, which qualified him to be a part of a specialized team working on LORAN. This system was responsible for the navigation of the US Navy, US Merchant Marine, The Eighth Air Force and the US Submarine Pacific. In his post war years he created the Medic-Alert device that saved countless lives of Seniors and touched the entire world once again. Now, what prompted him to be a creator of devices to meet Unmet Needs has prompted him once again to tackle one of the most disastrous maladies that plagues the eyesight of the world's children. Tom Cataldo is an American Icon and you will find out today, that he is not done yet Tom and his late wife founded a Non-Profit known as the Better Vision for Children Foundation. He has been laboring for over 30 years to bring a test kit that can identify early childhood eye diseases as early as a non communicative 6 month year old child. Eyesight is essential to the life of a human being because it effects everything that they can ever hope to accomplish. This test kit has a pricepoint of less than $5.00 and can be administered to multiple children at the same time. Tom is an engineer that has spanned many generations of humankind with nation and life saving technologies. Now his greatest challenge is to gain the acceptance and the sponsorship necessary to bring his dream of child eyesight disease prevention to the fruition that he and his late wife have intended. Today we will see where that dream is presently and what can be done to fulfill its application. Tom is a doer and not a talker.. He has much more to give before he leaves this world behind.

Seniors . . . The Brick and Mortar of Small Business!

Wed, 28 Apr 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Seniors! An interesting term. It denotes thoughts such as aging, retirement and the slowing down of a previously active lifestyle. Now, the Baby Boomers, one of the largest birth generations are NOW those Seniors. It's really amazing to to contemplate this generation of Haight Ashbury, Free-Love, Communes, Kent State, Woodstock, Pot Parties and reviling one of the longest foreign wars that the US Military has ever undergone, Vietnam NOW being the next Senior Generation. I am one of these Seniors and have been involved with many of the above stated events and lifestyles. Yes, in fact I was a hippy and wore tie died t-shirts, long hair and dare I say drugs. Well enough of that. This generation now has become the following positive characteristics. First and foremost, one of the wealthiest generation of American's ever. In fact, 7 out of 10 Boomers own Small Businesses, the backbone of our economy and we are AGING fast. Also with this we have brought the following: Strong work ethic. Baby boomers aren't afraid to put in a hard day of work.Self-Assured. This generation is independent and self-assured. ..Competitive. Baby boomers like competition. Competitive. Baby boomers like competition. Resourceful. Mentally focused. Team oriented. Disciplined. This generation is not ending up; as it started out. Today, I will interview an entrepreneur, not a Baby Boomer but his family experienced a Senior Event in his life that prompted him to found the CA Senior Guide which has become a premier magazine publication, widely accepted in the Senior Community at large. We will find out what he is up to now and how Seniors are benefiting from his influence.

Paradigm Shift . . . The Digitalization of Fashion and Film

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Techie . . . we have all heard the term. It’s short for Technology. Recently, we have been focusing on educating the small business community to the value and necessity of entering the “Virtual” world with their marketing and communications and now, two of the largest market sectors of that sphere of influence have jumped in headlong to create a Paradigm Shift within the Fashion and Film Industry at large. Right now, addressing the Fashion industry and their dilemma of the Big Box/Department Store closings and many on the “Bubble”, where are the Fashion Designers and Manufactures going to be able to put their creations on “the rack” for consumers to view, try on and eventually purchase? Now to the film industry. Regal the largest owner of digital movie screens in the world is and has been shut down since the beginning of COVID19. Moviegoers have not been able to buy a bag of popcorn and a box of candy and enjoy Hollywood Wide Screen for well over a year . . . Regal has filed under the current bankruptcy laws and is surely on the “Bubble” themselves. What IF this pandemic NEVER allows Hollywood to be Wide Screen EVER again. Is there a solution? Today I will be interviewing those who are in the KNOW and are addressing these problematic areas of concern in both the Fashion and Film industries. You are going to be surprised from what source this incredible talent has emerged and more importantly the tenacity of the intent to see it realized for the benefit of both the industry and the consumers who enjoy the end results. We will find out what bridge they have created to take us into the future!

ACCESS to CAPITAL . . .The Life Blood Of Small Business!

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 03:00:00 -0400

When I came out of college, I had no clue what I was going to do, so I answered a blind ad and five years later I was a “Dirt Sucker Salesman” with Kirby Vacuums, Direct Sales, Door To Door. When Direct Sales became a Dinosaur in America I ventured into many other areas of business during my lifetime but I got my start, literally from the Shoe Leather ground up. During that 5 years I worked my way up the ladder and became an Area Distributor with 2 offices, running crews and vans all over Southern CA. In those days, when it came to laying the cash down to satisfy a Kirby Franchise and substantial capital to OPEN my first business, had it not been for the foresight of my late father and the TRUST Fund he left behind for me, I would have never even got off the ground. In business there is a saying, “Cash Is King” or more appropriately, “He who owns the GOLD, make the rules” Both of these ring true more loudly today in an environment that is revenue hungry both at governmental and small business market sectors. The BIG Banks, who now rule the roost with Capital Finance make it almost impossible to gain even an equity credit line on existing homes to aid in having a “back stop” for contingencies that will require immediate capital infusion and we all know and have experienced those moments and times when you have to meet a payroll or an opportunity comes up that is just too good to pass by and you need CASH to accomplish your ends. Today, I will be interviewing the principals of a newly emerging “Community Bank”. The vision that this financial institution has set before themselves is to SERVE their Community beginning in Scottsdale, Arizona. What a refreshing breath of fresh air in comparison to the “Microscope” qualification processes that the Big Banks have you undergo to get access to capital. This bank is banking on a work and a word rarely used today called RELATIONSHIP. Again, something you hear on this show but not very often in the Ivory Towers of Finance. Do you need Capital? Stay tuned, because we are going to speak to the Community Oriented and Minded principals who can write the check. EIDL and PPP “Crutch” Loans are not going to pull Small Businesses out of the financial debacle caused by COVID19 and shortsighted politicians who SHUT DOWN Small Business in America. We will learn today about a group of entrepreneurs who just secured FDIC approval to bring forth a solution to one of the most menacing issues of small business . . . ACCESS to Capital!

Craig Keshishian . . . American

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Immigration is a hot topic in America right now. The airwaves are filled with content that the entire world is witnessing and that message is that “America Is Open” but not for business, for migration. I had the privilege and honor of being birthed in our nation’s capital and in the very hospital that many Congressman and Senators had their children born into this world. I cannot really speak to the issue of immigration personally other than I am currently married to a former Philippine Citizen who is now after many years of regulatory hoops an American Citizen. America is a nation that has been termed as the World’s Great American Melting Pot because you will find every tribe and nation within it’s borders. Great American’s such as the names of Albert Einstein Germany), Alex Trebec (Canada), Levi Strauss (Germany) , Nikola Tesla, (Croatia) just to name a few. None of these came to America from their foreign birthplaces to “Belittle” America but to “Better” America and America is the Benefactor of their numerous talents. Today, I will be interviewing Craig Keshishian who is by heritage Armenian but by nationality American. Craig has a story to tell regarding his grandparents who came over from Armenia on the boat, went through Ellis Island as so many trod the same ground before them and settled in New York City and made a life for themselves and their children. Small Business is a familiar term in the Keshishian family as the roots were demonstrated in the lives of immigrants from Armenia. Craig is an incredible influencer in American Politics today and a proponent and stalwart supporter of Small Business as well. I for one am very interested in learning of the sacrifices that were borne by his Grandparents and the fruits of that labor that is now manifested in the life of their grandchild today. Join me as we turn the clock back and then pull it forward and meet Mr. Craig Keshishian.

Bryon Noem Small Businessowner of South Dakota

Wed, 31 Mar 2021 03:00:00 -0400

The state of small business in America would be revealed in no uncertain terms were it a reporting of a state such as California, New York, Texas or the like. There has been no end to the copy that has been disclosed by our ever vigilant media sources during the pandemic so that we are agaze with all of the events and policies that these above mentioned states have employed in response to the worst business interruption ever encountered and still currently endured in the history of the United States. States Rights! A term that you do not hear of as often as the original founders of this nation intended. We have unfortunately become dependent on the treatises and the beckoning of those elected representatives of the states who place full confidence and acknowledgement by the manifestation of the simplest of tools ever devised by the mind of man . . . the individual FREEDOM of the POWER of a VOTING citizen of the state that oversees both internal and external (federal) election processes. Today, we will journey to a not as well recognized state of the Union until most recently when it’s Governor brought the house down with a speech that is still ringing in the halls that she delivered it in. The State of South Dakota. A state that has as it’s most recognized asset the faces of 4 former President’s who have long since passed but who’se images have been preserved to remind us all of their individual contributions that still have a lasting impression upon us today. Today I will be interviewing Bryon Noem who in his own right is a Small Businessman and now carrying a more weighty role as the First Gentleman of South Dakota as he is married to its Governor, Kristi Noem, of the State of South Dakota.. Bryon like all of us has weathered the COVID19 pandemic but with a very different result due to the foresight and fortitude of his insightful partner in life who has gone against the grain of the majority of the surrounding states and their electorate who have made other more restrictive choices to conduct their policies in a different outcome. Together, we will find out how Bryon Noem has navigated and weathered the storm that has been so upending of the small business community of the greatest nation in the history of mankind.

YOU have a hidden enemy from within . . . Your Health!

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Arthur Godfrey said it best, Few Millionaires can afford the cost of cancer. There are many things that can stop you as a small business owner in your tracks but very few that can effect that dramatic of a halt in your enterprise than the loss of your good health We have all experienced what the pandemic has caused in the shutting down of our businesses and the shutting out of our customer bases and the relegating of our marketing and communications to becoming much more virtualized but have we taken into the consideration the STRESS factor of all of this and the possible damage that has been done to us personally???. In my own life, my former wife, contracted a deadly cancer and passed away 22 months after the onset and EVERYTHING in my life stopped. My insurance practice was no longer in an office setting and my world was literally turned upside down. All because of a health issue. Today we will be speaking to a self employed, lady who has discovered a product that can make a difference in your life and deal with a possible trainwreck in your life that you may not realize is on the horizon. I for one have taken her advice and the product that she markets I will not be without. Our politicians today are stating Follow The Science. Today, you will hear first hand First Personal Testimonies who have experienced the Life Change that is now possible with a product that seemingly is unbelieveable. What pricetag have you placed upon your health? You may very well experience the reality of that . . . suddenly!

The Making Of A Star . . . YOUR Small Business!

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 03:00:00 -0400

During the last few years the printed media such as newspapers, magazines and coupon books that multitudes of Small Businesses have utilized in the past are now becoming dinosaurs in light of the advent of the internet and the newly emerging world of virtuality. The competition for the eyeballs on your business is growing ever more intense and the public has now a more discerning choice of whom they will do business with and presently due to the pandemic of COVID19 which has resulted in your potential and current customers being put behind closed doors in a state of susceptibility, which the E-Predators, such as Amazon, E-Bay, Alibaba, Walmart's etc have taken full advantage of and the evidence of that is the stock prices gains that they have ALL enjoyed during these turbulent times. Today I will be interviewing the CEO and members of his talented staff of Shine on Hollywood Magazine, which is a digital magazine that goes against the grain of most publications not only in the Hollywood space but beyond as their reach is global with millions of eyeballs on this magazine every time it is published. Stories not only interest their readers but they showcase the subject matter of that story. Today, we will investigate the value of YOUR story of YOUR business being portrayed professionally and positionally so that your current and potential customers can KNOW more about YOU before they ever encounter what your product or service is to be purchased. Let's learn together how YOUR business can be a STAR, because your story needs to be told!

What You Don't Know Can Be Very Costly . . . IRC Sec. 41

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 03:00:00 -0500

FEMA, USDA, DEA, DOJ . . . Washington, DC is abounding in abbreviations that represent massive bureauocracies. Some Good, Some Bad. That brings me to the infamous IRS. I have often believed that this massive agency is misnamed and should be termed as the Internal Reclamation Service because it seems that they continue to dig deeper and deeper into your resources on many levels. Having said that, Jesus himself experienced a profound statement about his birth when the phrase was coined . . . Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Well the same question could be asked of the IRS? Well, believe it or not and I am not talking Ripley's. Today we will discover an IRS Section that is largely overlooked and vastly unrealized. Then President Reagan inaugurated this substantial benefit to businesses and it has been upheld by every subsequent Presidential Administration since his enactment. Dare I say Keep Your Fingers Crossed, that it survives this President? It is commonly known as the R & D Tax Credit and it allows you to go back and recapture taxes that you have already PAID for up to three years both Federal and in approved states, State Taxes as well. Today, I will be interviewing Business Group Resources who over the last 4 years have recovered well over 100 million dollars for their business clients. We will find out today exactly how to go about getting these funds that you are entitled to recover back from taxes you have already PAID! On an average month, they are returning 4 Million Dollars to their clients, you should be one, wouldn't you agree?

Chambers of Commerce . . . COVID19. . . March now . . . 2021

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 03:00:00 -0500

The Ides of March. Historically, not a good time of year as many events have occurred during that time period, the assassination of Julius Caesar being one. Suddenly, in March of 2020, an unseen enemy known as COVID19 attacked the world and in a heartbeat drove populations behind closed doors and consumers away from their merchant relationships. Chambers of Commerce represent, empower and support those merchant relationships and they like their constituents have been faced during the past year with the greatest challenges that they have ever undergone. Chambers are a vital element of any society as they are integrated with local and state governments and in many cases are largely responsible for the passage of laws that benefit their businesses. Today I am interviewing some now movers and shakers that have recognized the challenges of the day and are implementing radical changes in their modus operandi to meet COVID19 head on. We will find out what they are up to in March 2021.

State of the Union . . .B2B . . . Where are we???

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 03:00:00 -0500

B2B, we know it as Business To Business. It has been a tried and true methodology for Small Businesses large and small to get into productive relationships that are mutually beneficial and mutually profitable. This was so popular that several organizations took upon the task of forming membership organizations to further the aims and goals of their constituents. The focus was the creation of a flow of referral leads on an ongoing and consistent basis. Usually a weekly meeting was complimented by a breakfast/lunch to relegate the time commitment in the midst of a typical business day. This worked very well up until COVID19 struck and drove small businesses and their customers behind closed doors. Today, I will be interviewing Kim Marie, the owner of Le Tip International. Le Tip is a premiere B2B membership organization with a rich history of successes. Kim has made some pivot moves to keep her business fresh and flowing. Today we will find out what she is up to at Le Tip.

NY NY Gov Cuomo Under Report COVID Senior Deaths Scandal

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 03:00:00 -0500

While this show is NOT an investigative reporting media agency, it does represent Small Businesses at large and there are numerous Senior Nursing Home/Facilities in the State of NY that are NOT large Corporate owned entities and it is in this light that this show and subject matter needs to be addressed. The Senior Community during the COVID19 crisis at the outset and continual has been spotlighted as one of the most vulnerable to the virus and as such this element of our society has experienced the most restrictive directives accordingly. NY is not the only state where this has occurred as CA Governor Newsom still has the Senior Community on Lock Down and Quarantine policies as well. Today my Political oriented Co-Host Natasha Friedman and I will be interviewing again, Derrick Gibson, who is a Small Business owner and candidate for Governor of the State of New York. Together, we will drill down and discuss what is going on in NY and possibly elsewhere in the Senior Community.

Voiceamerica . . Doorway to the Virtual World for Small BizZne$$

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 03:00:00 -0500

Marketing expenditures for a Small Business is one of the most important and costly outgo's of capital that must be spent month in and month out. The most dangerous mistake that any business can make is to pull their horns in and NOT continue to put out their message and expand their customer reach. This is a formula for eventual disaster. Now, enter COVID19. Marketing as we knew it prior to this event has been largely anesthetized and the choices of venue's radically reduced. Virtual. The learning curve of this word is now VITAL to any small business and the cost factor quite attractive. Ryan Treasure, Exec VP of Voiceamerica will explain the VALUE of considering IP Radio and IPTV as alternatives to your marketing strategies. Ryan is a nuts and bolts VP who will explain the Why and How of Voiceamerica and its integrative platforms that can take your business to the next level and bring about a customer expansion reach that can deliver the numbers that make sense.

MLM A Possible Solution to Alternative Revenue?

Wed, 03 Feb 2021 03:00:00 -0500

Multi Level Marketing. Commonly known as MLM. Companies such as Amway, Shaklee, Herbalife, Melaleuca and dare I say Avon calling? All of these and many more are still in business, still thriving and growing and still making a difference in the lives of millions of people worldwide. Today, I will be interviewing a Vice-President, International Sales Manager of an MLM known as Tranont. Tranont has been around several years and most recently has taken a few steps back to retool and reform their executive management and their platform to be much more acceptable at many levels. MLM for the most part has been not well received in the Small Business community and most recently underwent a stinging blow from an Austrian based MLM known originally as Lyoness! To date, millions of dollars will never find their way back to the bank acccounts of thousands of merchants in the USA and Canada and this will be discussed because its important to you. We will get to the truth.

Financial Wellness Initiative . . . A New Employee Benefit

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 03:00:00 -0500

Eduk8tshon. I purposely misspelled the word education largely because since March 3, 2020, it has been largely absent from our society due to the current COVID19 Crisis. Human Capital. A term that I have seen and heard numerous times to express a word that has been formerly known as EMPLOYEE. Small Business in America is still the largest EMPLOYER of our total workforce and the value of this critical element of a business infrastructure seems to be largely LOST due to the political diatribe of measuring a politicians effectiveness by tracking the numbers of new jobs created during their tenure of service to this nation. The value of an EMPLOYEE to a business is far beyond just a numerical statistic, its is VITAL to the business because it represents the face, voice and wherewithal of that enterprise. Today, my guest has taken a different approach to engaging the employee workforce with a system that brings about financial wellness at employee levels that makes a difference!

Converting Debt to Wealth An Exit Strategy?

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 03:00:00 -0500

One of the greatest thrills of my lifetime was when I signed my first loan docs for the first home that I purchased in my young life. At times like that the emotions run high and the blood to the brain becomes impinged because we never really do read all that stack of paperwork at escrow office, do we? The first time I really paid attention to those documents was when I purchased my present home and discovered that box that says, deferred payments and the total in that box. Oh my, almost three times the amount that I was borrowing would I pay back to the lender over the term of the mortgage which was at that time, 30 long years! I know I am preaching to the choir here but what IF there had been an alternative mortgage offering that would at that time have provided a mechanism to come alongside and help me to pay off that obligation, years in advance and put a large part of those deferred payments back in my pocket vs the lender? Well we will be looking into that possibliity today.

Merchant Processing AKA The Alligator Pit

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 03:00:00 -0500

In any Small Business you have Hard Dollar vs Soft Dollar Costs to incur. One (Soft) is much more malleable as (Hard) is mostly fixed expenses such as Lease Payments, Insurances, Payroll etc. Merchant Processing is for the most part in the (Hard) category and can be frustrating as it deals with the LIFEBLOOD of any Small Business which is your CASH FLOW. Between Credit & Debit Card useage for purchasing, this function now encompasses about 95% of all sales transactions globally and the days of CASH being a matter of choice are limited at best as everything in financial services is moving towards Fin-Tech or commonly known as Digitalization While paper statements is still a means of communication between you and your selected Merchant Processing firm, the readability of these documents at times requires a BS in Economics. On the show today I will be interviewing the CEO of On Fire Processing, the Anchor sponsor of BizZne$$ BuzZ. Together we will jump into this Alligator Pit.

The Virtual World is Essential To The Survival of Small Business

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 03:00:00 -0500

In January of 2020 had you been a stockholder in a company known as Zoom, today you would be smiling ear to ear because the Stock Price has gone from 73.06 to a peak in October of $559 per share.

Restaurants In America . . . Persecution or Protection?

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 03:00:00 -0500

One of the main focuses of this show has been to educate and inform the populace of this nation and other nations of the fallout that the COVID19 Pandemic has wrought upon the Small Business Community at large. Small Business is made up of many market sectors and one of the largest of these is the Restaurant Industry which indeed has fastly become one of, if not the most embattled industry in America today. The Yo-Yo'ing up and down of Shut Down, Partial Re-Opening, Full Service Patio to now Shut Down again has been the primary cause of the reduction of the numbers of restaurants both large and small still OPEN for Business today. We will take a look at this in depth with my guests which will include an ICON in the Restaurant Management field for 26 years and owners of restaurants who are dealing with this day in and day out. Together, we will get to the bottom line truth of where the restaurant industry is presently and more importantly where it is heading.

The Law of Association . . . Alive and Well in Utah!

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 03:00:00 -0500

While I have enjoyed a very Renaissance oriented career in Small Business most of my life, I have fond memories of being involved in an arena known as Association//Affinity Marketing. I have had the privilege in my past tenures to have worked very closely in the marketing, communication and negotiation levels between other Association relationships. Recently, I have discovered an organization that is seeking to serve the Small Business Community at several levels of involvement. Associations and Member Organizations have had a long standing reputation as being a tremendous resource and in many cases a thinktank for the benefit of Small Business because their impetus is to SERVE their fellow man and SafeSolutionsNow.com is of that same bolt of cloth. Today I will be interviewing the principals of this organization who are focused on bringing a smorgasbord of benefits to the Small Business Community and delivering UNITY, Relationship and the Law of Reciprocity immeasureably

Debt Creating Wealth: A Formula For Current and Future Success

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 03:00:00 -0500

The War of 1812 more than doubled the nation’s debt. It increased from $45.2 million to $119.2 million by September 1815. The Treasury Department issued bonds to pay a portion of the debt, but it was not until Andrew Jackson became president and determined to master the debt that this “national curse,” as he deemed it, was addressed. By selling federally owned western lands and blocking spending on infrastructure projects, Jackson paid off the national debt after six years in office. This actually created a government surplus that Jackson divided among indebted states. Andrew Jackson was the last President to accomplish a Debt-Free America. America's current debt now stands at a staggering 27 + Trillion Dollars. Debt is a formidable impediment that must be managed or it can sink a small business in its wake. Today, I am interviewing a CEO who has developed a software that not only manages but eliminates your debt at many levels and puts you on a track to acquire a wealthy future.

NYC . . . Needs another Miracle on 34th Street!

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 03:00:00 -0500

In 1934, Edmund Gwenn, Natalie Wood and Maureen O'Hara charmed and educated audiences at Christmas Time and forever put their stamp on Christmas in America. NYC and Macy's were the backdrop and the story was all about the gift of giving as Santa Claus played by Edmund Gwenn so eloquently taught two NYC Rival Retailers how to exercise the Law Of Reciprocity by ultimately sharing their most invaluable wealth which was their respective Customer Bases. Fast forward to COVID19 and you will find a very different impending Christmas Season in midst of the City that Never Sleeps. Small Businesses are reeling under this COVID19 pandemic. In fact, according to a recent article in the New York Post reported that nearly 1/3 of all small business in both NYC and New Jersey have closed their doors. Natasha Friedman, my show's political Co-Host will be joining me once again as we put the spotlight on both the Small Business Community and the Political moves they are currently withstanding.

One Man and a Mission

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 03:00:00 -0500

It's Christmas time again. In 1946 a movie entitled Its a Wonderful Life starring James Stewart was released and has been influencing and charming audiences for many generations thereafter. During that film George Bailey made a very foolish statement that he wished that he had never been born. The consequences of that coming true were depicted in this film in graphic detail. One man removed made a difference that changed the entire outcome of a community at large. My guest today is Manny Lopez. Manny is just such a man because his beginnings were very humble and seemingly hopeless because he was a foster child. He rose up out of that lifestyle to now become one of the most prolific Movers and Shakers of our time. Manny is not only a very successful businessman but a person who has reached back in his life and brought his fellow Foster Care Children forward and given them the opportunity to better their lives and secure their futures.

Survival Of The Fittest . . . Non-Profits

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 03:00:00 -0500

Having been the CEO of a Non-Profit, Community Based Organization in the past I am well familiar with the challenges of the day to day operations and their resultant outcomes. Non-Profits have the same characteristics as any business entity. They have lease obligations, insurance, employees/payroll, marketing expenses etc. The ONLY thing that really does not enter their realm is taxation and that is a great advantage. Non Profits from every source of information I can garner are taking huge hits both financially and infrastructure wise. Hard decisions are certainly being made at core levels to weather the storms of COVID19 and we are not even talking subsequent manifestations of the virus that could be more devastating in the near future. I will have as my guest CEO's of Non-Profits who are currently engaged in wading through swells, navigating the terrains and charting possibly new courses of both direction and tactics. We will explore these paradigm shift options together.

Digital or Paper? Savings vs Cost

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 03:00:00 -0500

This show has been promoting the three R's. Recover - Rejuvenate and Return to Profitability. All of these are necessary to bring about a return to not just surviving but thriving once again. Technology is going to play a key role in accomplishing this goal as the world is becoming more digital with everyday that passes. The old means of marketing and promotion with the use-age of paper delivery, including business cards, brochures etc has long since passed its effectiveness. Google had a loss of 10% of their stock value, which rocked Wall Street and the result was a new technology known as Mobile Digital Application, which now has manifested itself in what is commonly known as Digital Apps. These are now readily available on both Android and IPhone's. Your customers and future customers are becoming more accustomed to these emerging communications platforms with everyday that passes. Digital or Paper? We will explore the difference's together with cutting edge expert guests.

Has COVID19 Taken A Bite Out Of The Big Apple?

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 03:00:00 -0400

Recently, I did a show in DC to inquire as to the State of Small Businesses in the USA. In August of 2020, the NY Times published an article entitled, One Third of New York's Small Businesses May Be Gone Forever. Forever is a long time and NYC is a huge market sector in this country not too mention the main gateway of the nations entering this nation. This article is now 2 months removed from the statistics contained within and the across the board impact on NYC has been devastating to say the least. During this show West, will be inquiring about East. Los Angeles and NYC make up the two largest marketplaces in the USA and both of them have been rocked by the COVID19 Customer Shutdown. This week my guest's will include an Influencer, an Advocate and a Restaurant Owner that are a part of a community of thousands of small businesses in the Big Apple who are still working through one of the largest bombs to ever hit NYC. We need to find out the condition of the Big Apple.

California Regulatory: "ViceGrip" on Small Businesses

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 03:00:00 -0400

From the inception of this show, the three Rs, Recover, Rejuvenate and Return to Profitability have been Shouted From The Rooftops because this is the course of action that Small Businesses will have to trod to bring back the vibrancy that they once enjoyed prior to COVID19 Customer Shut Down. Now, another R has reared its UGLY HEAD, Regulatory. Hitting someone is one thing, hitting them when they are down is quite another. I am joined once again by my Co-Host Natasha Friedman of TV Free Baltimore and together we will mix it up with current political candidates who are battling right now for a seat to be heard in the State of CA from both an Assembly and Congressional stance. One of these regulations is already in place and LAW in CA, another is on the upcoming ballot and more insidious and potentially damaging than its predecessor. The placement of Small Business in the midst of a ViceGrip is now occurring and the slow turning of the adjustment bolt has already begun . . .

MODA Continues To Grow!

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 03:00:00 -0400

In this age of uncertainty that we now seem to find ourselves in there is the tendency to withdraw or hunker down as if in a foxhole to avoid the next shell that might be headed your direction. Conservation and Preservatiion sometimes will rule the roost during times that just don't make sense, such as the ones that we now find ALL of us to be so embroiled in. MODA Business Solutions, Inc. the Anchor Sponsor of BizZne$$ BuzZ and BizZne$$ Watch has chosen a different pathway. Rather than adoping a Foxhole mentality they instead have moved forward with aggressiveness and fortitude and are ever in search mode for those partners that share their vision to provide Small Businesses Nationwide Resources That Make Sense. We will be visiting with two of MODA's newest Best of Breed Vendors and learning about their business platforms and how they intend to complement MODA's Continuing Growth Model to help and assist Small Businesses to move into the sunshine of profitability once again!

Frank owns his own small business and he is surrounded by other merchants in the original shopping mall in Yorba Linda.

The Law Of Reciprocity

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 03:00:00 -0400

B2B, B2C, are well and informed terminologies in the arena known as business. These two functions have served the commercial sectors for many years but in light of the recent development known as COVID19, are they sufficient for a bright and opportune future for the small business community at large? There is another invaluable business principle and supporting acumen known as “The Law Of Reciprocity”. In fact, King Solomon, who would be an example of more than a Trillion net worth in today’s economy used this to vault Israel to economic prosperity never before achieved.

SEO? MSO? EIO? Where are YOU? The above acrostics have more importance to a small business and even more so today.
