CY6 - Check Your Six

Episode 33 of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast is Part II of the conversation with Sgt. Major Tommie Maldonado about veteran benefits. He continues talking about some of the challenges and benefits available for military members that have exited the service. We wanted to bring Tommie back for some more information so if you know a veteran that has recently come off active duty, or any veteran that may be wondering what they can do, have them reach out to Tommie and he can point you in the right direction and get it done!! #veteran #benefits #VA #checkyoursix #CY6 #grpstudios #podcast #small-business

Sgt. Major Tommie Maldonado was in the house for the 32nd episode of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast. Obviously  Craig Leysen and Tim Proctor, both Air Force cops, needed to be on their best behavior with the Sgt. Major in the GRP Studios, just to make sure they could pass muster. His position with the Veterans Administration meant that this podcast was focused on the military and some of the challenges and benefits available for veterans that have exited the service. Maybe not a lot of small business talk but still provided a lot of information for veterans on some of the benefits available to them that they were not aware of. If you know a veteran that has recently come off active duty, or any veteran that may be wondering what they can do, have them reach out to Tommie and he can point you in the right direction and get it done!! #veteran #benefits #VA #checkyoursix #CY6  #grpstudios #podcast #small-business

Special guest Carol Ann Dykes-Louge was in the GRP Studios for the 28th Episode of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast. Carol Ann wears a lot of hats but her primary function is the Director of Programs and Operations, Innovation Districts & Incubation Program at UCF. The Incubation program has so many layers that are available to help small business owners succeed and works in conjunction with the SBA, the SBDC and other small business initiatives. There was so much information about what they do that we did not even get to her work as the Interim Manager of Team Orlando Central Florida Tech Grove. #UCF #small-business #SBA #SBDC #incubator #CY6 #checkyoursix #podcast #grpstudios

Episode 27 of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast featured Andrew Cole from the East Orlando Chamber of Commerce as the guest. Craig and Tim discussed some of the things that a Chamber of Commerce does and how they impact the community, help small businesses grow as well as networking with one another. Andrew has been with the Chamber for quite some time and is another musician that has been a guest on the podcast. Even though we have had several guests that are musicians, neither of us have been able to improve on our musical talent, which is probably just fine for the audience.

For the 26th Episode of the Check Your Six - CY6 podcast, Craig and Tim brought in Sean Esler with Edge Consulting to talk all things tech related. Something that most small business owners need but few of us understand, unless you own an IT/Tech consulting business, and even fewer of us are able to navigate. Having a web presence is essential for small business in the current business climate and having the support for the technology is even more essential. Besides being a small business owner himself, Sean has had a lot of experience in a multitude of businesses, non-profits and community related programs. It is a wonder he has any hair left(small joke if you know Sean) #IT #small-business #techsupport #checkyoursix #CY6 #grpstudios
