00:00 / 00:29:18

Today we shined the light on Jason Jones with CresaPartners. Jason explained that right now Atlanta is a “Tenant’s Market.” He said that companies have an opportunity to save money on their existing lease and/or find better deals in the market if they know the right questions to ask.

We were also joined by his colleague Paula Fowler. Paula is very active in the technology community and she is on the advisory board for TechAmerica Georgia – this group is a great educational and business resource for high tech firms of all sizes. Paula talked about the 9th Annual Spirit of Endeavor Awards ceremony which is being held on December 9 2011 at the Twelve Hotel in Atlantic Station. This event benefits the TAG Education Collaborative and spotlights Outstanding Leadership, Technology Entrepreneur, Emerging Business, Technology Innovation and Cool Technology in Georgia. You still have time to nominate a client (or yourself) for this great award that honors the most innovative tech company and their people.

For example, the program he directs, The Master of Arts in Professional Writing (MAPW) degree is a professional graduate degree program that prepares candidates for a wide variety of writing-related positions in business, education, publishing, and the arts. He further noted that many non-traditional students complete this program and use writing as a way to expand creativity in their current career or to transition to a new career.

Business RadioX Hosts Interview Joan Denziot of Super Sized Cycles – Business RadioX

September 12, 2011 by lee kantor

On Thursday August 11th, 2011, Atlanta Business RadioX Hosts Dr. Adam Shafran and Lee Kantor had a chance to chat with Joan Denziot whose Super Sized Cycles were recently featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition.

When Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition’s host and trainer Chris Powell was looking for a bike for one of his trainees, James, he turned to a good friend of the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy Show, Joan Denizot. Joan created Super Sized Cycles when, after gaining some weight herself, she was informed that she wasn’t the right size for a bicycle.

Instead of copping an attitude, she created a positive movement of empowerment and self respect, designed innovative, comfortable bicycles able to hold 550 pounds, and set out to remind us all that “Zize”, like life, is all about attitude! She says “A surprising, overlooked solution to fitness; bicycles offer a fun, easy way to get in shape, for all sizes of bodies,” and she was happy to help Extreme contestant James Garrison bike his way to losing over 300 pounds in one year.

Business RadioX Host Dr. Tim Morrison Interviews Notorious Hacker Turned Cyber-Security Expert – Business RadioX

August 10, 2011 by lee kantor

On August 2nd, 2011, Atlanta Business RadioX Host Dr. Tim Morrison was joined in the studio by Ligatt Security International’s CEO and Founder, Gregory Evans.

Evans is a widely renowned cyber-security expert and author of eight books on high-tech security issues, but his now glowing reputation had an inauspicious start. In 1996 he was on the FBI’s top ten list of “wanted” computer hackers. Evans claims to have started hacking when he was in 7th grade, changing classroom grades for his friends for money. He “expanded” from there. Today Evans heads Ligatt Security International, a leader in computer security and cyber-crime investigation and appears regularly in the media as a cyber-security expert. In 2009, Evans appeared on Fox network’s “Fox & Friends,” as well as CBS news, and the world-famous Frank Ski morning radio show on Atlanta’s v103. He was also named one of Black Enterprise magazine’s Top 20 “Masters of Innovation,” and has been featured in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the LA Times, USA Today, Wells Fargo Business Journal, and JET magazine. He is the founder of National Cyber Security.
