Marin and Julian, two programmers who started an apparel business with no prior experience. Originally from Bulgaria, they wanted to setup the foundation of their company there, so they could leverage the country's long-standing traditions in textile and clothing manufacturing, at the same time giving back to a place that made them who they are. They bootstrapped DULO with their own savings in September 2016. After that they spent one year in product development, going over 70+ prototypes, testing with real people all over the world. The DULO dress shirt, their first flagship product, is a non-iron dress shirt that removes the hassle from looking sharp. Traditional cotton shirts suck. They require a lot of care and waste your time. They are uncomfortable. Using performance fabrics, DULO redefined that traditional centerpiece into an item that stays out of your way when you need that extra bit of a stylish look. https://weardulo.com https://twitter.com/weardulo https://www.instagram.com/weardulo/
We talk about how to run, take over and keep your restaurant relevant in the changing times and against the big guys. Mattone Restaurant and Bar, co-owned by Franco and Vito Francese, recently unveiled updates to the menu and completed remodels to the inside that accentuate the signature brick oven. By the end of summer 2018, the restaurant will feature an outdoor patio. Franco recently appeared on WGN’s Midday News’ ‘Lunchbreak’, The Mancow Morning show on 97.9 The Loop and on Big John and Ramblin’ Ray on WLS-890 to talk about the exciting updates to the restaurant. He has also been featured in Pizza Today, Reader’s Digest, Restaurant Insider, and American Express OPEN. The restaurant’s name is Italian for “brick”, which has become the theme for the new look. While wood-fired ovens are common these days, there is a twist with what Mattone is doing that makes them unique. Mattone offers three new wood-fired sandwiches with a delicious roll that is made from scratch. The oven is located at the front of the restaurant, and patrons can watch their sandwich be made at the time of order. The sandwich is created and fired to perfection, fresh from the oven. Their signature, wood-fired Italian rolls were discovered by accident when testing out their rustic, brick wood-fired oven. The roll is made from their signature dough, that is made in-house, which is the same dough that they use for their pizza. They also feature a new wood-fired sandwich of the month and recently rolled out their Italian take on the Canadian Poutine – garlic fries smothered in mozzarella cheese and homemade Bolognese sauce. Their menu offers Italian cuisine with a few select American cuisine favorites, including: burgers, sandwiches, and BBQ ribs, a longtime Mattone favorite. Aside from providing delicious menu options, Mattone contributes to the community by sponsoring La Grange Park Little League, organizing fundraisers for the Nazareth Father’s Club, and donating to St. Joseph’s sports programs, York Hockey Club, Divine Providence Church, and Ogden Avenue School’s pizza day, to name a few. Mattone is also a member of La Grange, La Grange Park, and Westchester’s Chamber of Commerce. The restaurant has a long family history, as it was originally owned by Franco’s father, Domenico Francese. Franco now uses the knowledge he learned from his father to bring the best cuisine possible to the community. Mattone is located at 9 E. 31st St, La Grange Park, IL 60526.

Get the book here: https://amzn.to/2NSkKbf If you are an executive, business leader or manager, you probably want to improve your leadership development and management effectiveness to build a high performing and innovative team, and increase your KPIs. Here is the HUGE problem: Only 10% -15% of leaders are self-aware, but 95% think they are. 80% + of managers overestimate their abilities compared to others. It only gets worse the higher up you go. This results in 99% of teams underperforming. Your self-awareness challenge is a career killer. Everyone eventually hits their ceiling and plateaus. Few people do anything about it. Have you made significant progress in the past year? If not, you've hit the plateau. Most people stay there for years or decades. Here's the massive upside. You need a couple small changes to get exponential growth. You'll be operating in your area of genius. The fear, overwhelm and stress will disappear. You'll rocket past everyone to the top. https://jasontreu.com https://twitter.com/jasontreu https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasontreu

An Honorable Community of Military & Veteran-Friendly Businesses. WE CONNECT PEOPLE WITH COMPANIES THAT HONOR FREEDOM. By being a GreenZone Hero, your company has a viable opportunity to improve business and share with the Nation how your company demonstrates its support of veterans, active duty military personnel and their families. GreenZone Hero business members are profiled on a directory platform and receive a MANIFESTO and BEST PRACTICES MANUAL along with relevant real-time CASE STUDIES and OUTREACH TOOLS for attracting more veteran and military customers. Our Association and Ambassador programs help to improve business for our members as well as generating sustainable funding streams for veteran-military-focused non-profit organizations. The GreenZone Hero businesses have "differentiated" themselves from their competition. These companies understand the high cost of freedom, an American value that far outweighs any amount of money. By publicly recognizing veterans, active duty personnel and their families and being officially-branded "Veteran & Military Friendly", our members will significantly improve their company's position within a very loyal marketplace. www.GreenZoneHero.com http://www.heroesmediagroup.com/straight-outta-combat-radio/ John@GreenZoneHero.com
Our world is changing faster than ever. To deal with this, companies need a workforce that is fully engaged, high performing and adaptable to change. But 69% of employees in North America are still not engaged or actively disengaged at work, and actively disengaged employees cost $450 billion to $550 billion per year alone. So I love helping companies achieve greater levels of performance in a world that is changing faster than ever. I do that through the delivery of multi-sensory keynote talks, group training and 1-on-1 coaching to develop high performance teams, improving the company culture, innovation, emotional intelligence and adaptability to change. To demonstrate the power of what I teach, I just returned from delivering the closing talk 'What Future Are We Creating?' at Italy's largest TEDx event. In the 4 months leading up to the event, I secretly worked with more than 80 strangers from 40 countries across the globe to produce an animated split screen video that played while I performed the song live on stage on a grand piano during my talk. With every relationship built through digital technology, it showed the power that technology has to magnify our impact and what can be accomplished when working together as a team. In our fast-paced world, I love helping people achieve their full potential. We each have the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in this world and I believe in helping good companies do exactly that. https://thrivingcollective.com https://twitter.com/askcameronbrown https://www.instagram.com/askcameronbrown
