Long time friend of ours, Paul Pomeroy, talks about his role as CEO at Advertising Agency, Aloysius Butler & Clark. ABC is a 50 year old company with footprints well beyond Delaware, and Paul is now at the helm. Hear him share stories of being a bigger part of a company that he long worked for, making the transition to him as CEO, and how he hopes to not screw up what he is now in charge of. Paul also turns the questioning onto us for an interesting discussion from both sides of changing ownership.

Shout out to Nashville and Annapolis legend, Skribe, for the music.

Meghan Wallace shares how she went from being in the Government to jumping out to create a company that helps the Government solve the big issues with her company, Social Contract. Hear about how she got into government, identified an opportunity, and jumped out to help solve it. Oh yeah, and she significantly grew the company during the pandemic.

As always, thank you to Nashville star, Skribe, for the music.

This month, Patrick and I talk to Priscilla Turgon, Founder and Executive Director of Project New Start. This incredibly impactful Delaware organization creates a learning program for justice involved to learn life skills to be successful upon release and more importantly, not return to prison. Not your typical start up, for sure, but we are certain you will appreciate hearing about starting a different kind of business than we typically discuss.

As always, big thank you to Nashville musician and friend, Skribe for the intro-outdo song. Be sure to check him out as he tours the country.

Our wide ranging discussion covered selling shoes in Africa, converting a hotel to emergency shelter and how you don't have to be on your own to act like an entrepreneur. 

The story of the Hope Center's transformation from a hotel to emergency shelter was told in this emmy-winning short. Definitely worth a watch.

We take the show on the road again! This time to the lovely rooftop bar at the new Quoin hotel in downtown Wilmington with our special guest, Chris Buccini.

Most times, an entrepreneur is doing a lot of "firsts" when starting a business. First incorporation, first client, first office, etc, and leaning on others to answer questions can be key. Patrick and Lee talk about their approach to finding mentors, getting questions answered and how a big red button works.
