Shields is currently the principle of Datadecided, a Tableau provider that helps businesses of all sizes communicate and understand their data in a visual medium.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Walter Shields discuss the following:

* In your new book you have said that SQL is ”one of the most in demand coding languages” and “the gold standard for database administration.” What is SQL and do you think this trend will continue?* In demand and easy to learn are two different things entirely. Are the benefits of having SQL on your resume worth the time it takes to learn the language?* If SQL is so easy to learn, why does it seem like there is such a large pool of people who are not familiar with the language?* Some programming languages seem to come and go. Why do you believe that SQL is here to stay?* If someone listening wants to pick up a copy of your newest book SQL QuickStart Guide, are there any programming prerequisites they should already have under their belts?

Walter Shields is an SQL mentor, author, and data management entrepreneur with over twenty years of experience in the field. In the past Shields has worked with such notable partners as the Target Corporation, the NYC Transit Authority, and the NYC Administration for Children’s Services.

Now over a decade later, Walter’s side project as a teacher has outgrown the coffee shop. Between his new book SQL QuickStart Guide and his SQL Training Wheels online course series, Walter has reached countless thrilled students. Walter Shields is currently the principle of Datadecided, a Tableau provider that helps businesses of all sizes communicate and understand their data in a visual medium.

His new book is SQL QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginner’s Guide to Managing, Analyzing, and Manipulating Data with SQL is available now and published by ClydeBank Media.

Lee Wilson, My Ex Back Coach and Relationship expert with over a decade of experience joins Enterprise Radio. His interviews  has landed him in features in Cosmopolitan, Bustle, Daily Mail, Metro, Vice, The Sun, Yahoo, Glamour and more.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Lee Wilson discuss the following:

* How did you decide to become an “Ex BackCoach” or Breakup & Relationship Expert? * Tell us about the type of services you offer? * Is it possible for a couple or a married couple to get over infidelity and move forward? * You’re a big advocate on the “No  Contact Rule”? Why does this strategy help? * Can you tell the audience about the Breakup kit?

Lee has lectured at several universities including Pepperdine University.  He is a Marriage.com Verified Expert, received Family Dynamics certifications along with His Needs/Her Needs Certifications in addition to assisting with multiple Ph.D research projects on relationships and the science of human attraction. In 2011 he co-founded a nonprofit organization that works to save marriages from divorce, but moved on to more effectively help such couples – married and not married.

He helps women and men get their ex back as a relationship coach. Lee has a heart for people who are hurting because of lost love and was mentored by one of the world’s leading Ph.D. scholars on human sexuality, attraction, and relationship dynamics from 2000-2019.

As the developer of the Emergency Breakup Kit and the Emergency Marriage Kit, he has constantly improved and upgraded his strategies to help people get back with their ex boyfriend, ex girlfriend, or spouse.

After being a marriage consultant with two nonprofit organizations for several years, Lee went out on his own and started coaching both men and women on how to get their ex back after a breakup or separation and also on how to improve their relationships to prevent breakups, separation, or divorce.

Military testing placed Lee in the top 1 percentile in pattern recognition and decoding speed. That gift helps him identify situations, solutions, and often to project outcomes.

As a relationship expert, Lee’s experience combined with his level head make him a mastermind to turn to after a breakup or separation because your first instincts are almost always the exact wrong thing to do and can push your ex away.

Gino Monteleone who runs Select Custom Joinery, a multi award winning sustainable cabinet making business just outside of Canberra, Australia joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Gino Monteleone discuss the following:

* You call yourself sustainable cabinet makers, what does that mean? And what prompted you to specialise in using sustainable materials?* What makes a material sustainable?  And what materials do you use?* What is the environmental impact of the popularly used products currently in use?* You’ve invented a transportable plywood cabinetry system – tell me about that.* What does the future hold for Select Custom Joinery?

Gino Monteleone is a qualified cabinetmaker with over 30 years experience in the industry.  He began his apprenticeship in the days when being a cabinet maker meant building furniture from solid timber. 

In 2000, Gino and his wife Robyn started Select Custom Joinery to support their vision of starting a family and being present parents.  Concerned about the health issues of working day in and day out with materials such as MDF and particleboard, combined with a desire to do more timber work, Gino began looking at ways to offer clients a more sustainable option.   About the time the GFC hit (Global Financial Crisis), they had committed to phasing out using all MDF and particleboard products and use only sustainable materials such as plywood, recycled timber and bamboo.  When they spoke to other people in the industry, they were told it couldn’t be done. They survived the GFC and managed to phase out using all other materials within 2 years. 

Select Custom Joinery is a multi-award winning business specialising in using solid, sustainable materials to produce practical, durable and beautiful kitchens, interior joinery and furniture. Gino’s innovative design options are available all across Australia and he currently has two pending patents.

David Sanchez RN, Founder and CEO at Digitalis Medical, The Healthcare SEO Company joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest David Sanchez discuss the following:

* You’re an RN. How did you get involved in the world of digital marketing?* How is healthcare SEO different than other industries?* How can healthcare facilities improve their SEO on an ongoing basis?* How do you know what to write about with your blog articles?* How much does social media play a role in your website’s ranking?

David Sanchez has built a reputation as a registered nurse who can bring more new patients online for growing healthcare facilities. His agency Digitalis Medical has earned several SEO awards in the last two years to prove their digital marketing abilities.

* Top 25 Search Engine Optimization Companies 2019 – DesignRush* Best SEO Web Design Agency in Arizona 2019 – Media Innovator Awards – CV Magazine* Featured as a digital marketing authority in Search Engine Watch, G2 Crowd, BestCompany and others.

David loves helping medical facilities grow while saving lives from addiction. That’s what he’s passionate about. 

With over 10 years of solving SEO and content marketing challenges with healthcare providers, his team knows how to reduce digital marketing costs, save valuable time, and consistently increase website traffic.

A little more about David…

He loves helping people. He became a registered nurse in 2009 and has worked in Emergency Departments in Phoenix and Prescott, Arizona, as well as surgery, behavioral health and PCU. 

In the Emergency Department, David saw how so many people were struggling with addiction, but were unable to afford help and truly change their lives. He felt called to make a difference.

In 2014 he began Life Transformation Recovery, a nonprofit addiction treatment center. Although most of his patients were finding their facility online, he was spending too much time writing blog posts, frustrated with not seeing reliable results from the agencies they were working with, and spending too much money on digital advertising. 

He started learning about SEO and decided, “My team can do a better job,” and started his own healthcare digital marketing team.

The entire Digitalis team is dedicated to saving lives from addiction. They donate 20% to recovery-based nonprofits, and their staff regularly volunteer for nonprofits who are recovery-focused.
