This episode is for all of the entrepreneurs our there with big ideas. Bo Megginson is the Mobile Area Executive Director for an angel investor group called Angel Investor Management Group. He is part of the movement of change for the start up community here in Mobile. AIM's existence in our start-up ecosystem means if you have an idea, and know that you will need funding, you have options. Their last investment was $6.4 Million... but it was for a company out of Atlanta. And frankly, Bo wants to see some of their investment dollars stay in the Mobile area. So tune in to learn more about Bo and the AIM Group.

This episode is super manly and definitely meets the facial hair quota. Barcus Patty is the Owner of Thrice, a maker of natural beard grooming products in Mobile, AL. Barcus is a Mobile entrepreneur that is harnessing the power of the internet to sell his products to a larger audience.

I find his story interesting because he is right on the cusp of breaking through with his business and I love seeing people make that jump. Barcus, besides having an almost perfect name, is a really genuine guy and it is my pleasure to be able to share this discussion with you. Make sure to follow Thrice on Facebook and Instagram.
