August 02, 2017 Jamie Jay
Jaime Jay founded Slapshot Studio, LLC in 2013. He wanted a business that combined his life-long passion for the sport of ice hockey with his ability to build websites and thus the Slapshot Studio brand was born.
With his signature customer service and DIY “get-it-done” style, Slapshot Studio quickly became the go to web development company for many entrepreneurs and small businesses.
At the core, the Slapshot Studio team develops WordPress website solutions that convert by integrating technology platforms such as Chatbots, funnels, social media, and more.
Jaime is an amateur hockey player and starter geek who truly enjoys helping his clients build a solid foundation online that not only keeps his clients happy, but turns them into raving fans.
Since leaving the U.S. Army as a former paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division in 1994, he began working in corporate America. He worked for a couple different fortune 500 companies over the next 12 years. He learned a lot about business and working with others, but he never quite felt like he found his calling.
It wasn’t until the summer of 2006, when he co-founded a small real estate ad agency that he realized his passion for the entrepreneurial spirit. A whole new world opened up to him, but it wasn’t without heartache and trouble as the real estate bubble burst in 2008 and he lost all his customers in a span of just over three months.
After some considerable thought and self-grief, he picked himself back up and dusted himself off. He was always attracted to technology and most of his friends and family knew this. He decided to get back into web development and he bootstrapped his way from a one-person operation to a thriving business and a growing team as you will see today.

The Dohrmann family operated Dohrmann Hotel Supply; the largest global resort-outfitting firm now owned by Holiday Inn. The family also owned the Emporium store chain from the 1800’s, as one of the larger department store chains forging the history of the West Coast market place.
Berny’s father, Alan Dohrmann, was a corporate trainer who was sought out by such notables as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Walt Disney, Warner Earnhardt, John Hanley, Thomas Willhite, Bucky Fuller, Dr. Edward Deming and Jack Kennedy. Berny grew up with amazing mentors as one of nine children raised in Marin County California
Mr. Dohrmann was mentored by the man who pioneered oil tanker funding in the 1960’s and 1970’s, George Witter of Dean Witter when the brokerage firm was a family owned San Franciscan firm, and Peter Ueberroth former commissioner of Major League Baseball, and currently Chairman of the Contrarian Group, Inc.
In his first twenty years, Mr. Dohrmann was Chairman of a public institution heading up global investment firms, supervising thousands of licensed professionals operating in fourteen countries. Berny sold his firm to take care of his terminally ill father and later finished the brain research he and Berny started, thus creating a product known as Super Teaching.

Mr. Dohrmann resides with his wife September and two children in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.

June 30, 2017 One Click Lindsey
Even as a young girl, I loved bringing a business to life and watch it grow. Other girls wanted to babysit, while I worked out the percentage I could charge for getting them jobs and managing them. A lemonade stand was not a “fun” way to waste a summer afternoon, it was a very serious business involving customer acquisition and profit margins. I was born an entrepreneur, and I believe you are either born that way or you’re not. I see an opportunity, and I have no other choice but to create the business capitalize on that opportunity. My husband, on the other hand, just wants a job (so I made one for him).
After years of struggling through being an “employee” I started Web Impakt, which over the last 10 years, I perfected (if I do say so myself). I’ve led my team to launching everything from simple web pages to enterprise level systems. I’ve managed dozens of developers and designers, yet still have had to roll up my sleeves on aSaturday evening (after all, if you want a job done right, eh?). And most importantly, I’ve gotten very good at generating traffic and leads, not only for my business, but for my client’s businesses as well.
Traffic and leads… attracting and cultivating that resource is what it’s all about, if you’re not doing that, then the engine of your online marketing strategy has no fuel to work. But if you’re smart, and place your focus on driving website visitors to make ONE CLICK and enter your world, you have a lead. Lead’s become client. So, how do you get that one click, and what do you do with it? That’s the easiest part, you come to me, and they don’t call me “One-Click Lindsey” for nothing! My hand-picked team at TrafficAndLeads.com and I ensure that my clients get the traffic and leads their business needs using proven techniques. Not only that, I have the muscle of Web Impakt at my disposal to fulfill any desire my clients have, no matter what.
I am living a life beyond the wildest expectations of that little girl creating flyers advertising her “Babysitter’s Club.” Best of all, I get to spend my days doing the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do, helping small businesses grow.

June 22, 2017 Anthony Amos
H
We are a family of five Aussies: Anthony, Rachel, Bella (13), Austin (12) and Aria (11).
We are passionate about the welfare of our four-legged friends.
So much so that we recently purchased and moved into a 40ft motor
coach and are touring America for an up close and personal lesson in U.S. history
and to raise money and awareness for animal rescues.
Since only 30 percent of pets in homes are adopted from shelters, we need to make a change.
Our plan: the Bathe to Save National Tour.

OUR BONE CONTENTION
Approximately 3.9 million animals (1.2 million dogs) are killed in U.S. shelters each year.
One unspayed dog & her unaltered offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in seven years.
Only one out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home.
60% of dogs in shelters never find a home.
Many strays are lost pets not properly kept indoors or microchipped.
All dogs should be treated equal despite their breed.
There are over 165 million households in the U.S.; 79.7 million have pets. NO dogs (animals) should be killed in shelters. They truly can all be saved.
As dog lovers, we’re passionate about the well-being of our furry friends and want to raise awareness of the numerous benefits of animal adoption.
Bath to Save Dog Buss
LEADING THE PACK
Catering to all breeds and sizes of dogs, the Bathe to Save National Tour brings HydroDog’s traditional grooming services directly to communities, animal rescue groups/organizations, and businesses (especially pet-centric) across the U.S. to not only raise awareness of the benefits of animal adoption but to ultimately save the lives of dogs.
EVERY DOG WILL HAVE ITS DAY
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates 3.9 million dogs enter animal shelters each year. 1.2 million adoptable dogs are killed simply because there was no one to adopt them.Since one in every three homes in our native Australia has a family pet and 65 percent of U.S. households, or 79.7 million residences, are home to at least one pet, we are thrilled to raise awareness to the needs of animal rescues/organizations through the Bathe to Save National Tour as we travel across the U.S.
With annual sales expected to surpass $60 billion in 2015, the pet industry is one of America’s largest. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet owners will spend approximately $5.24 billion on pet services such as grooming and boarding this year alone.
As the Bathe to Save Teamrolls across the nation in the big blue bus and raises awareness, Pack Leaders, Anthony and Rachel, together with Kevin Harrington from the Shark Tank and other celebrities are reaching out to build relationships with individual animal rescues and organizations that support their missions. They are also the tour’s media spokespersons and responsible for delivering key messages while promoting the sponsoring organizations.
BATH TO SAVE TOUR TEAM
Anthony Amos: Anthony began his career playing professional rugby straight out of high school in Australia. While playing football, Anthony decided to use his downtime to start his own business and at 21, he founded a mobile dog grooming business: HydroDog.
Within five years, HydroDog had grown to more than 100 franchises across Australia and was the first franchise of its kind to be in every state and territory. After the 100th franchise milestone was achieved, HydroDogimplemented a Master Franchise model and took the franchise system to the next level. This resulted in all state and territories in Australia being sold within an 18-month period.
Anthony and his team revolutionized the dog grooming industry by designing and c...
