    Pinot's Palette - Johns Creek
    Pinot's Palette opened for business on May 6, 2009. Our first location was a cozy, local studio in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston, TX. Being a new concept, we started small, with the hopes of hosting a wine and painting class three nights a week.  Before long, word spread, and now we have paint and sip franchise locations from coast to coast and internationally.  Together, we've created over one million paintings with our customers. And while we haven't counted the corks, our guests have enjoyed plenty of wine with friends along the way.  We love being your go-to spot to relax, unwind and let loose. From date nights to birthdays and bachelorette parties, our paint parties are a unique way to celebrate all of life's special moments - even if the occasion is just called "Friday."

  • Tom Simonson: Reviving Bill Bartmann’s Dream and Transforming CFS into Merit Financial on Capital Club Radio
    On this episode of Capital Club Radio... Michael Flock interviews Tom Simonson at the RMA conference in Las Vegas about  his monumental undertaking, the re-engineering of Bill Bartmann's Commercial Financial Services (CFS) and reviving Bill's dream and Transforming CFS into Merit Financial.
    Tom is the President and CEO of the Merit Family of Companies, formed in 2017 and comprised of Merit Financial Solutions, Financial Samaritan and Financial Samaritan Lending. Additionally, Tom is President and CEO of CFS2, Inc., the debt buying, servicing and collection R&D company that developed the methods and software now being used by Merit Financial Solutions.
    Prior to becoming President and CEO of CFS2 in December 2016, Tom had served as COO of CFS2, a position he has held since August, 2014. Prior to this, Tom was Worldwide General Manager of the Technology, Consulting and Systems Integration Division at Unisys Corporation. He was responsible for their global go-to-market plan, sales, field operations and customer satisfaction. Tom, a graduate of Drexel University, began his career with over 20 years of service at IBM where he held a variety of senior executive positions. He lived for two years in Paris, France while working as an executive at IBM's European headquarters.
    Here is a glimpse of what Tom shared in the interview.
    "I think there was always two sides to the Bill Bartmann story and the controversy around it. On the one hand, you had what you described, which was the scandal and the ultimate demise of CFS. But on the other hand, you had a man who was quite the visionary and could see things that others in the industry or in other industries did not see..."
    "I learned that you need a precise strategy, that you need maniacal focus, and you need a certain level of cadence and discipline..."
    "when you're building the business and you're making the level of transformation that we are, you do rely on investors up front and you have to learn to raise money as part of your everyday operating..."

  • Infrastructure, Strategy & Sales Training are Key for Increasing Sales on Business Developers Network
    If You Heard Laurel Instead of Yanny It Can Make or Break Your Sales Numbers
    Infrastructure, Strategy & Sales Training are Key for Increasing Sales.
    The recent viral internet sensations, “Do you hear Laurel or Yanny?” illustrates a point that can make the difference in achieving your sales numbers. Why do some people say the hear Laurel and others say they hear Yanny? The answer may have something to do with predisposed perception.
    Infrastructure First
    Our first guest, Emanuel Istudor is the Business Development & IS Manager at Manufactured Assemblies Corporation (MAC). MAC’s is a global leading manufacture of electronic assemblies and wire harnesses used for electrical enclosures such as ATM kiosks.  MAC has plans to increase its annual revenue from $50MM to $100MM by offering new products and services that include; outsourced solutions, contract manufacturing, design engineering, electronic kiosks, digital signs and reselling international products.  Emanuel heard Laurel: Emanuel holds degrees in both Computer Engineering and Business Administration and his predisposed perception understood for MAC to achieve their sales goals, the
    company needed to ramp up their logistics and manufacturing planning systems and he initiated lean six sigma, technology infrastructure, analytics, CRM, and an enterprise operating system. With MAC’s infrastructure in place to handle the additional throughput, Emanuel is now applying the same disciplined approach for marketing and sales and MAC’s table is set to achieve its sales goals.
    Strategy & Sales Training are Key for Increasing Sales
    Our second guest, Craig Apatov is the Managing Partner and Strategic Marketing Practice Leader for Ascension Growth & Innovation Strategies. Ascension is a management consulting firm that helps clients drive top line growth and improve business performance through strategic analytics, insight mining, marketing optimization, and sales enablement programs.  Craig hears Laurel and Yanni: Craig has worked with blue chip firms, Citibank, Amex and brands, Hunt’s Ketchup, Mattel Hot Wheels. Companies come to Ascension to increase revenue. Craig’s predisposed perception knows management needs to have clearer insight and the sales team can benefit from sales implementation training. Craig gave an example how Ascension’s strategic insight recommended that Brand Bank place ATM kiosks that produced billions of dollars of transactions.
    Serendipity:  Emanuel smiled and thanked Craig; MAC manufactured the kiosks for Brand Bank.

  • David Ludwig Founder of National Loan Exchange NLEX, and a Godfather of the Debt Buying Industry on Capital Club Radio
    :arrow: :arrow: David Ludwig Founder of National Loan Exchange NLEX, and a Godfather of the Debt Buying Industry on Capital Club Radio
    Michael Flock interviews David Ludwig, Founder of NLEX, a company formed to promote and broker the sale of distressed assets. In their conversation, Dave shares how he developed his business, managed it through tough economic times and is now building the NLEX of the future.
    Dave has taken NLEX from its start, as a post-RTC sales outlet in the 1980’s, to today, where it is the nation’s leading broker of charged-off credit card and consumer debt accounts. NLEX’s parent company conducted the industry’s first public sale of charge-offs for Bank of America in 1989. With that experience, Dave introduced selling charge-offs from financial institutions by hosting the industry’s first debt sale conference in 1994. Since then, Dave and his team have supervised sales of over 5,000 portfolios with face value of $150 billion in the US and Canada.
    Dave has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics from the University of Illinois and has been in the financial industry for over 25 years. Considered a pioneer in the debt sales industry, he has been a featured speaker at industry conferences and quoted in numerous national media outlets.
    Here is a glimpse of what Dave shared in the interview.
    … but most said, “No, we will never sell charge-offs. That’s a crazy idea. Why would we do this? You’re going to sell to someone that we’re going to lose control of, that’s going to violate… going to threaten to break legs and we’re going to be brought into law suits.”
    … because this was before electronic media. Everything is in hard files. When we were doing a sale back then we would set up a war room of all these files, these cardboard boxes of files that people would come in and go through.
    … because all we are is a relationship business. We don’t make widgets. There’s nothing we’re buying and selling. It’s a relationship business…

    DISCOVER WHY SUMMER IS A CRUCIAL TIME FOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH & WELL-BEING 
    Stacey McDaniel, Anti-Hunger Initiatives Specialist, YMCA of the USA, Shares Important Information about the Y's Healthy Kids Day & Art Contest
    YMCAs in all 50 states (plus DC and Puerto Rico) will be celebrating Healthy Kids Day for a fun celebration that will also bring attention to the epidemic of child hunger in the U.S. The Y's Healthy Kids' Day includes activities and games encourage physical activity and encourage reading and exploration, including a new art contest this year. To help raise awareness about the year-round epidemic of child hunger and highlight the importance of good nutrition, the Y and Walmart Foundation are kicking off a national call for youth art submissions for the Y's 'Child Hunger Is No Fairytale' campaign. Stacey McDaniel, Anti-Hunger Initiatives Specialist at YMCA of the USA, will preview the Y's Healthy Kid's Day Events and share some staggering - even shocking - statistics about child hunger.
    In the U.S., millions of youth and teens (1 out of every 6) are struggling with"food insecurity." That is when a child doesn't have regular access to fresh food or proper nutrition so that their development is severely impacted. Studies show that kids can't learn, grow, or reach their full potential on an empty stomach. That's why-in partnership with Walmart Foundation-the Y has nearly 4,000 sites where children can receive a healthy meal and/or snack. In 2017, the Y served 476,00 kids more than 22,000,000 meals and snacks.

    How to enter a special art contest to promote hunger awareness
    Why summer is a crucial time for children's health
    Learn about the epidemic of child food insecurity in our country

    SPOKESPERSON BACKGROUND: 
    McDaniel has been the Anti-Hunger Initiatives Specialist at the YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) since 2013, working to offer assistance and guidance to local Ys to strengthen child nutrition programs across the country. During her tenure, the Y has expanded its anti-hunger work, increasing number of youth served per year by 131% and number of meals served per year by 165%. In 2016, over 476,000 youth received over 22 million meals at more than 3,900 sites and after-school programs through the Y's Year-Round Food Program.
    CHILD HUNGER IS A SERIOUS AND OFTEN UNDER-REPORTED PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY. IN FACT, ONE IN SIX CHILDREN IN THE U.S. STRUGGLE WITH FOOD INSECURITY. THIS EPIDEMIC OFTEN HITS HARDEST DURING SUMMER MONTHS WHEN KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL.
    THAT’S WHY THIS YEAR’S ANNUAL Y-M-C-A HEALTHY KIDS DAY, WHICH PROMOTES HEALTHY HABITS IN KIDS DURING SUMMER, WILL HAVE A SPECIAL FOCUS ON NUTRITION.
