Jim Fried: We are back and we are back with a great edition of Fried on Business. We're going to talk with Bruce Turkel about personal branding and what happens as your brand evolves. We're going to talk with Alex P. Cordia about oil and gas and we're going to get the show started right away with one of the South Florida's best philanthropists, one of my favorite Dolphin guys, Michael Mandich. Michael, are you out there?
Michael Mandich: How are you doing this evening?
Jim Fried: I'm doing great. How about you? It's a front end of a fabulous weekend for you. Tell me what's going on with the Dolphins Cancer Challenge.
Michael Mandich: We've officially kicked it off. Tomorrow night we're hosting our kick-off ceremony here at Sun Life Stadium where we will be hosting with a lot of Miami Dolphins players, 2500 people and we're going to have a nice broadcast on CBS4 hosting our Dolphins Cancer Challenge there live, 30 is going to broadcast 7:00 to 7:30, so it's going to be exciting atmosphere and then this Saturday, over 3200 participants will either ride, run, walk or simply donate, come out to a concert. For the first time we'll be hosting a concert and we're really excited to announce Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow this weekend.
Jim Fried: That sounds really great. It sounds like all kinds of things good. Can people still get in on the action? Can they go to the website and donate? We had the dean on last week. He's riding with that mangled foot of his with Carlos Magoya, so, I got all kinds of friends riding in this, so awesome. I keep getting emails.
