#113 - Old Farm Equipment to Farmiture May 28, 2019

GROUDAS ART Inc. & Farmiture™ is a collection of unique, one of a kind welded steel Sculpture, Lighting & Farmiture™. All of our works are created from salvaged steel that has been hand selected from all across New York State. Our original designs are inspired from rusty old car parts, vintage farm machinery, old bicycles, gears, antique lumber, barn wood and interesting industrial age objects. Each piece of salvaged steel we use in our sculptures and home furnishings has a story behind it. Nancy and I married in the summer of 1997 and we have been creating art ever since. Our latest endeavor is working with welded steel. We have always been “pickers” of unique found objects, intrigued about the history of each piece of old steel we find. We seek objects that once were proudly well made in the USA, strong and solid. The aged patina of the steel we unearth and recover stimulates us artistically. Many are works of art unto themselves. Our mission is to reclaim these steel objects, then blend and incorporate them into our Sculpture, Lighting, and Farmiture™ Instagram- @Farmiture Facebook- Farmiture http://www.groudasart.com/ Show Sponsor: https://agiledragonconsulting.com/ Show Sponsor: https://terranut.com/bhp Support the show!

Robert “RJ” Harper is a PADI-certified scuba diver, model and environmental ambassador with Earth Justice, one of America’s leading environmental justice law firms. Harper embraces Earth Justice’s mission “Because the Earth Needs A Lawyer” and had been a vocal ocean advocate. RJ openly celebrates some of the recent successful beach and ocean cleanups and is slated to Dive with Dixie Divers and PADI on June 15 @ Deerfield Beach, Florida as a Team Leader in “The Largest Underwater Cleanup in the History of World” hoping to set an inspiring Guinness World Record that will be repeatedly broken each year going forward. “I’m very happy to be part of the leadership of this tremendous ocean cleanup by Mr. Arilton Pavan working closely with PADI, Dixie Divers, AquaLung and other committed sponsors to bring global awareness about the devastating things mankind is doing to our delicate oceans.” Harper has appeared on international magazine covers such as Global Man and has appeared in numerous scuba marketing campaigns for major aquatic brands and hopes to build a lasting legacy that ultimately encourages more young people of color to learn swim and embrace aquatic sports. “Every day in America, ten people drown and of those ten, six of them are always persons of color. As PADI divers, I think we all have a broader responsibility in America to help reduce those terrible statistics in the near future by encouraging all people to embrace aquatics early in life because, on some level, all scuba divers are ocean advocates by default.”

#108 - Shark Tank Experience with Jim Loughran Mar 27, 2019

Jim’s write up in the Li Herald abridged: Jim Loughran walked down a dim hallway, flanked with video monitors depicting simulated sharks swimming in crystal blue waters, at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif. As he made his way a little further, crew members told him where to stand. Loughran then hit his mark and faced the real sharks — self-made entrepreneurs who double as filthy-rich investors and reality television stars. The Island Park resident, 57, who turned his backyard into a synthetic ice rink, has morphed the design into a full-fledged business, and entered ‘the Tank’ earlier this year to pitch his company to the investor sharks. Loughran spent years in the construction business as a project manager, and always carried a passion for hockey. He taught his son, Brian, now 22, to skate at a young age, and coached him in his youth, but as he tried to create a place for him to practice outdoors in the winter, mild temperatures often spoiled the fun. “Every year, I would build a little ice rink in the backyard,” Loughran said. “I would flood it, and then I would pray for cold weather. If I was lucky, maybe I’d get three weeks out of it.” Loughran’s company, Home Ice Supplies, focuses on bringing synthetic ice, made of polymer plastics, to families at an affordable price. The company offers different sized panels that interlock together to ensure a tight, nearly seamless connection that simulates skating on real ice. With the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came pressure, and Loughran began meticulously preparing for the pitch by watching many episodes in the months leading up to it. He said he learned from previous entrepreneurs the dos and don’ts when eye-to-eye with the investors. “It’s like a huge infomercial,” Loughran said. “You’re really putting yourself out there, but if you don’t do it right, it could be a bad-fomercial. You try to present yourself and the product the best you can.” “There’s a lot that can be done; there’s room for growth, and definitely there’s the interest because people love to skate,” Loughran said. “There are some exciting things that I have now and I have some really exciting things planned for the future. It’s going to be something that no one’s ever seen before.” Jim's Website: https://www.polyglidesyntheticice.com/ Show Sponsor: https://elisemargolin.zenfolio.com Show Sponsor: https://agiledragonconsulting.com/ Support the show!

#88 - Ron Reed Aug 22, 2018

Ron founded Reed Résumés in 2014 after spending 7 years as a New York City-based recruiter. He realized that there was a massive need for résumé writing services. He has viewed hundreds of thousands of résumés and conservatively, less than 5% could be considered absolutely flawless.

#79 - Natasha and Kahlil Nurse Apr 25, 2018

Once upon a time, there was young Jamaican American girl from Manhattan who traveled all the way to University Park, Pennsylvania to meet the love of her life (a native Hollis, Queens resident). Where does the story go from here? Currently, the book is still being written. For the thirteen plus years shared together they have each accomplished quite a bit for a couple in their thirties. A licensed attorney by trade, Natasha held various stints in the corporate world prior to making a foray into fashion and writing. Having been a victim of bullying as a child growing up, Natasha learned to seek out fashion as a source of strength early on and actively uses it as a personal means of empowerment; because of her own experiences with bullying and her strong desire to help others within the plus size community, Natasha started Dressing Room 8 to provide a web-based resource where women can gain personal and professional empowerment through her fashion and lifestyle focused blog, consultation and coaching services. Dressing Room 8 helps women how to think with clarity, dress with confidence, and live with purpose. Kahlil Nurse is an Electrical Engineer who wears many different hats (just like his wife). He is the Tech Guru for too many people to mention (which his friends and family can totally attest to). He has been the technical support for Dressing Room 8 and Sistas On Fire. As a fan of cars, technology and finance, he embraces opportunities to learn, grow, and enjoy his hobbies to the fullest. In September2017, they decided to share their marriage and thoughts to media with their exciting new podcast WokeNFree where they talk about relationships, education, religion, politics, music, history, fashion, diversity in the media, entertainment, empowerment matters, life hacks, technology, cultural disparities in the world, and everything in between. You can listen to a new WokeNFree episode every Wednesday for #WokeNFreeWednesday. You can reach Natasha and Kahlil on WokeNFree on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.

#76 - Jillian Weston Apr 09, 2018

Can a thriving business begin with one laptop in a local coffee shop? Jillian Weston started her own company, Jillian’s Circus, only five years ago in just that way. Jillian’s Circus is an online marketing company that has grown to include more than one hundred businesses and individuals who work with Jillian’s marketing managers, sales staff, and web design team to build their own success stories. Jillian trains her staff to use traditional values and new-age technology to promote her clients in creative ways across the internet. Jillian’s passion for creating a better community by hiring local people to do the marketing for local business owners is reflected in her company’s many successes. Her enthusiasm for her staff and clientele is infectious and several of her staff have been with her from her first tiny corner desk in a rented space to her beautifully appointed store front with room to grow. Jillian’s Circus has won awards in the categories of Best Boss and Best Social Media Agency on Long Island two years in a row. Her involvement in the community as a board member of the Rockville Centre Chamber of Commerce, member of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, and her active participation in prominent networking groups inspired her to start her own networking group, The Unicorns. The Unicorn Network, a rapidly growing organization designed for entrepreneurial millennials, was established in 2016 by Jillian who serves as the President and CEO of the board. The Unicorn Network began with a small group meeting together to plan social events and professional workshops. The Long Island chapters in Nassau and Suffolk Counties include more than 200 members and just this month, Jillian launched a Unicorn Network in Manhattan. The connections her members make with other Unicorns give them the unique opportunity to expand the reach of their own clientele with other enthusiastic business owners. Jillian’s Circus reaches out to the community by contributing to charities including the Inn in Hempstead and Bethany’s House and participating in events that raise funds for worthy causes. In addition to rigorous training programs for new employees, Jillian teaches instructional classes in schools, community centers, libraries, and corporate settings. She is a judge for projects designed by DECA students on Long Island and she mentors high school and college students, which often leads to part and full time employment in her company. Jillian Weston’s educational journey included serving as both her high school and college theater stage manager. She spent a semester abroad in England, traveling extensively in Europe. Her role as president of her college sorority gave Jillian the chance to hone her leadership skills and to jumpstart a new university activities club called NSA, helping college students connect in an environment of inclusiveness and safety. Jillian graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Hospitality from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2011. When Jillian is not in her office, she spends her time with family, friends and the occasional travel opportunity.

He was a recipient of the American Excellence Award for Family Law and Evidence, a member of the Dean's List and an editor of Touro Law Review. He is a former prosecutor for the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, where he gained invaluable experience in the courtroom not otherwise available to private practitioners.

He learned effective and persuasive litigation skills from conducting numerous trials over the course of his career in the District Attorney’s Office.

Outside the courtroom, Mr. Montefusco augments his education by routinely attending Continuing Legal Education seminars on the latest updates and trends in the law. He is an active participant in the Suffolk County matrimonial bar mentoring program, providing legal advice to less experienced attorneys.

#70 - Lisa Friesel Feb 02, 2018

Lisa helps people build meaningful businesses leveraging an award-winning skincare line that is on its way to becoming the #1 premium skincare line in the U.S. She coaches, trains and develops individuals on how to build this business around busy lives in part-time hours to achieve their goals -- whether it be to cover the car payment, be able to travel more or replace a full-time salary and retire to live a life on your own terms (like She has done). Lisa was formerly in advertising sales for 13 years and then realized that in the corporate setting it was next to impossible to "have it all." She wanted a thriving and lucrative professional path AND time freedom. When She learned that the ProActive doctors, creators of the world's best-selling acne treatment, had a new skincare line focused on anti-aging, she knew it was a great opportunity. Better yet, she could build this business alongside her full-time career without hosting parties or stocking inventory. After 4 years of working alongside my job, she was able to retire from corporate America! Now her goal is to share this incredible opportunity and these transformational products with as many people as possible.

Ron founded Reed Résumés in 2014 after spending 7 years as a New York City-based recruiter. I realized that there was a massive need for résumé writing services. I have viewed hundreds of thousands of résumés and conservatively, less than 5% could be considered absolutely flawless. More concerning to him though was, the vast majority of résumés are stunningly underwhelming. Given how competitive the job market is, he realized that he is uniquely positioned to do something about it.
