Anthony Billet’s love for art and architecture led him to start abSketches in 2009. The visual marketing agency began by creating renderings and models of things that don't yet exist to help clients show possibilities to potential investors. Over time, abSketches has evolved its techniques and scope to include a blend of sophisticated visual media by a growing team of expert individuals dedicated to collaboration and excellence. 

Based in York, PA, abSketches was instrumental in the local renovation of The Yorktowne Hotel, but most of the agency’s clients are architects, developers, and engineers in larger U.S. cities and abroad. Visit the firm’s website to learn more about some of its featured projects.  

What You Need to Know 

(4:03) Mr. Billet graduated with honors from East Stroudsburg University with a BA in Media Communications and Technology as well as a minor in Art. He honed his project management and design skills working at architectural firms prior to starting abSketches.

(08:28) Doing a walkthrough of the renovated Yorktowne Hotel was exciting not only because the new construction aligned closely with the agency’s designs, but also because the hotel is right down the street from the firm’s office. 

(09:34) abSketches relies mostly on organic referrals and word of mouth. The fact that architects and developers who have worked with abSketches recommend the firm to their competition says a great deal about the agency’s business practices and the quality of its work.

(11:01) Both Jeff and Tony are fans of EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System—it helps them get things done, holds people accountable, and keeps things moving in the right direction. Get details about EOS at https://www.eosworldwide.com/

(16:05) Learn more about abSketches (and the Yorktowne Hotel project) at https://www.absketches.com/. Connect on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn by searching for abSketches.

It’s not easy to quickly summarize the professional life of Jeff’s guest, Emily Duncan. She double majored at the University of Iowa where she completed studies in the acclaimed Undergraduate Creative Writing Program while also earning a bachelor’s degree in music. Next came Juilliard and a Master of Music degree. Her musical performances since then are extensive and varied, including recent gigs at Lincoln Center and the Met Gala. 

Based in New York City, Emily often can be found performing contemporary works of living composers. She also has credits as a sound designer, engineer, music supervisor, consultant, theatrical artist, off-Broadway musical producer, podcast producer, web app creator, and more. Oh, and she taught Jeff’s daughter how to play flute. Maybe the best way to summarize Emily is to say that she lives a highly creative life. 

You can learn more and connect with Emily at https://www.rebelflute.com/.

What You Need to Know 

(03:27) While in college, Emily realized that she could write and be involved in theatre without an advanced degree, but the type of music she wanted to make required at least a master’s degree. That’s how she ended up at Juilliard in NYC.

(04:55) Emily’s specialty is contemporary classical music, but she also loves pop music, musical theater, jazz, etc. Different types of music require very different ways of playing or “extended techniques.”

(08:55) Playing flute with Lizzo and other talented flutists at the 2023 Met Gala was a dream-come-true experience for Emily. James Galway, the greatest living classical flute player, was there also performing live for the first time in three years.

(11:33) In 2022, Emily created the web app, GigCrunch, to help freelance musicians take control of their finances by learning if they are being paid fairly. Check out the free prototype at https://gigcrunch.app/

(18:25) Emily encourages anyone who has not seen a drumline show to go online and type in “drumline” or look for videos of The Ohio State Marching Band. Enjoy the musical arrangements and the arrangements of their bodies on the field. It's a technical sport.

Using his gift for storytelling, Dave has evolved into an expert coach with a nationwide reach and reputation that have positioned him as a leader in the field.

In addition to his live seminars, Dave offers premium content via the Romeo Network Online Learning courses, which enable attendees to develop valuable, real-world business skills at their pace, on their schedule, and at their location. In his sit-down with Jeff, Dave discusses the power of relationships and the importance of following up, connecting the dots, and caring for customers.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW  

(3:13) Business professionals visiting Dave’s website can choose from 101 topics for developing their skills and career. The most popular presentation is, “Designing Your Destiny.” Dave’s personal favorite is, “Mastering Your Self-Esteem and Your Destiny.”

(5:51) Networking and relationships are key to success. Facebook is an important resource for reconnecting with people and breathing new life into past relationships. 

(9:47) Always be thinking of other people and figure out, “who do I know who could benefit by meeting the other people I know?” That will make you so much more valuable to the people in your sphere of influence.

(10:07) A great quote from Harvey McKay: It's not what you know, and it's not who you know. It's what you know about who you know.

(10:55) Some things you can train and some things you can't train. But one of the things that you can't train is caring for people.

(19:02) Dave fished his way into the “Guinness Book of World Records.” But that’s not even the best part of the story!

Will Forero is known as the “Bronx Attorney.” As a paralegal, Will worked closely with plaintiffs and their children who had suffered the devastating effects of lead poisoning due to negligent landlords. This experience prompted him to pursue a JD from St. John’s University School of Law and commit to fighting powerful organizations on behalf of those in need. 

Today, Will has experience in several practice areas, but primarily specializes in personal injury cases as a litigation lawyer with Pryor Law. He is licensed to practice in NY, NJ, and the SDNY Federal Court. Among other topics, Will and Jeff discuss the importance of making personal connections, the unpredictability of juries, and how specific events in their lives have led them to their specialty areas. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 

(2:15) Will’s election law work in New York City has him representing more than a dozen city council candidates, ensuring that their collected signatures, filings, and related matters are in compliance with the rules. 

(3:15) Pryor Law is a small, but busy, firm. Its work ranges from car accidents and childhood sexual abuse cases to real estate and employment law.

(9:54) About 95% of personal injury cases are settled out of court. And because you can never predict the outcome of a jury trial, there is strength in the certainty of a pre-trial settlement.

(12:12) Will’s podcast is The Bronx Attorney Broadcast. He talks with various professionals and business owners about their books of business and provides guidance for entrepreneurs and people thinking about taking a chance on themselves.

(19:13) Owning and running a small business means that you need to be a good technician and a good marketer at the same time. Every handshake is an opportunity.

Amber Hinds is owner of AshBer, an independent insurance agency specializing in Medicaid-compliant annuities and long-term care (LTC) insurance solutions. Ashber partners with attorneys and financial advisors across the country, helping them get their clients eligible for Medicaid and LTC by offering strategies for asset protection whether the client is in the preplanning stage or a crisis scenario.  

Amber studied finance in college, graduating magna cum laude, and realized during an internship that few companies offered Medicaid planning. The need for this service and the opportunity to help people motivated her to create a special career path. Today, Amber has more than 14 years of experience. She is licensed to practice in all 50 states and is a qualified investment advisor via her Series 65 license with FINRA.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW    (3:01) Most often, Amber receives a set of information about a client (e.g., what assets they have, what they're paying for, their cost of care) and then she offers a proposal for an insurance product to help qualify that client for Medicaid immediately and get them benefits right away.

(5:23) Ashber is looking for more law firms with which to partner and relies heavily on client referrals. Amber and the team strive to provide stellar customer service and return proposals the same day because of the time sensitivity of the requests. 

(15:41) If you have a loved one who is in a nursing home or will be soon, it is not too late to protect their assets. The only time it's too late is when there's no money left. As long as there's something to protect, there are ways to assist.

(17:02) You can tell when you're working with a law firm that cares about its clients. That’s the type of firm that Amber wants to work with and it’s why she enjoys working with everyone at Bellomo & Associates.  

(19:08) The Ashber website (link below) lists helpful resources such as Medicaid guides for each state, planning tools, case studies, etc. The company also conducts free monthly webinars for all of its partner law firms and financial advisors.

Jeff’s guest is Jennah Motter, Director of Operations, at Bellomo & Associates. Jeff and Jennah met when she taught his daughter’s dance class. Back then, Jeff saw something special in Jennah and hired her. 

In 2017, she started out with the firm by scanning documents and compiling binders for clients. Over time, she gained valuable on-the-job experience and proved herself playing a variety of roles at Bellomo. Now, as Jeff’s “right-hand man,” she runs the day-to-day operation.

While working at Bellomo & Associates, Jennah was able to use her dance background to score a position as a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader. This gave her the opportunity to make life-changing trips overseas to meet with and perform for members of the U.S. military.

Near the end of her five-year stint with the Ravens, Jennah was honored to represent the team on the 2022 Pro Bowl cheerleading squad, which features one cheerleader from each of the football teams. In addition to the thrill of performing, she was able to meet with and talk to young people about the value of doing important work off the field.

What You Need to Know 

(4:47) Jeff has stepped away from the daily operation of the firm and has placed that responsibility in J Jennah’s capable hands. This enables Jeff to focus on client education and practicing the law.

(5:37) When hiring, Jeff is looking for people who are coachable, lifelong learners. Jennah exemplifies these traits.

(11:03) Jennah’s performances for our military personnel included meet-and-greets with the troops. Talking with the soldiers was a life-changing experience that drove an even deeper appreciation for the sacrifices of our military. 

(22:00) Jennah has been fully involved in recent changes at the firm, including the improvements to the estate planning process. 

(23:53) As a dance teacher, Jennah has had a tremendous impact on young people and their development.

Jeff’s guest is Deb Vieth, Medicaid Director at Bellomo & Associates. Deb first discusses the work environment at Bellomo. From trust and collaboration to personal and professional support, it’s a culture that crosses departments and functional lines.

This same spirit of teamwork and helpfulness benefits our clients and ensures that they receive the same level of attention and care that we would give our own families and friends.

Deb and Jeff also talk about long-term custodial care (LTC) as well as how to prepare for Medicaid-based care at home. In both situations, the Bellomo team works to protect the family’s assets while also enabling ongoing professional care via manageable financial solutions.

 

What You Need to Know

(10:03) Bellomo & Associates can work with a family to navigate the unexpected, or unplanned, expense of long-term custodial care.

(11:12) Deb and the team can also help a family qualify for a Medicaid “waiver,” which applies to in-home care by qualified providers.

(12:34) Whether you’re anticipating a family member’s need for long-term custodial care or in-home care, it’s wise to take advantage of Bellomo & Associates’ free Medicaid workshops.

(13:00) Assessing your home’s readiness for in-home care is part of our Life Care Planning service.

(14:27) Our experienced, on-staff social worker can help navigate decisions about transitioning and care facilities.   (15:43) It’s important to be an advocate for your loved one.

William Eadie is an attorney dedicated to ending nursing home abuse. His firm, Eadie Hill Trial Lawyers, is one of the few law firms in the area that focuses only on abuse and neglect in the long-term care (LTC) industry. Most often, he is called upon to help the family of an LTC resident who has been injured or killed due to abuse or neglect.

Your podcast host, Jeffrey R. Bellomo, the founder of Bellomo & Associates, is a licensed and certified elder law attorney with a master’s degree in taxation and a certificate in estate planning. He explains complex legal and financial topics in easy-to-understand language.

Key Takeaways

(00:23) – Introducing William Eadie

• William’s firm, which serves Ohio and western Pennsylvania, handles abuse and neglect cases in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, memory care centers, etc.
• When family members or others report abuse, the first step is to investigate
• If warranted, the firm will work to hold the facility accountable

(03:38) – Developing an interest in NH abuse and neglect

• As a young lawyer, Will recognized that legal claims involving people in long-term care (LTC) often were not valued and respected
• He and his partner started their firm to specialize in LTC abuse and neglect

(08:18) – Settlements v jury trials

• Defendants (e.g., insurance companies) increasingly prefer settling out of court because arbitration and dispute resolution favor the defendant, not the family
• William’s firm requests jury trials rather than bench trials because juries tend to be more responsive to incidents of abuse and neglect
• In Ohio, you are not required to sign, and you cannot be forced to sign, an arbitration agreement upon admission to an LTC facility
• William recommends that you do not sign the arbitration agreement and it’s better to X-out the signature area rather than leave the arbitration form blank

(19:02) – Complex grief

• When people lose a loved one to alleged abuse and/or negligence, they experience “complex grief”
• Clients should understand that litigation in this area means that the “open wound” of the loss may not be able to heal during an ongoing lawsuit so it’s best to avoid unnecessary delays

(19:53) – What to look for when touring an LTC facility

• Be aware of understaffing
• Look at “Nursing Home Compare” on Medicare website
• Notice the smell and whether people are clean, dressed, in bed, etc.
• Visit during off hours when the staff is not expecting you

(27:05) – Contact Eadie Hill Trial Lawyers

• On Facebook, search #healthyinanursinghome
• Call 866-NH-ABUSE or (866) 642-2873
