The words enthusiastic and charismatic don’t come close to capturing the energy Bello Nock gives away. We had breakfast at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi where he was performing – he’s now at MGM National Harbor – and later got him on the phone for our interview. He’s the perfect mix of “show” + “business”. He manages his own troupe consisting of acts from many nations plus five more troupes across the country, all moving from place to place. His daughter performs at SeaWorld San Diego – she’s the eighth generation Nock family performer. Amazing conversation.

Eunice Mingo is a licensed therapist. I invite her on the show to help me understand the voilence that’s escalating everywhere across our country these days. Where is it coming from and what can you and I do to keep people around us from getting so far out of control? We also hear her perspective as an African American after the Buffalo, NY shootings. “We feel hunted,” she says.

Scot Hunsaker took over the family business, built it, then sold it to his employees. Along the way he learned how to create and execute a succession plan. He asks business owners, “Could you be the limiting factor to your businesses success?” and told his own successors, “I did the best I could, now you make it better.” Leadership, empowerment, and motivation. If your job is to prepare future leadership, this show is a prescriptive path to getting them ready and getting out of their way. Check out his book on the topic.

Mike Adams – aka “Cajun Mike” – has grown his company, E3 Termite and Pest Control, by leaps and bounds over the past few years. One reason is he can treat and bond buildings with sprayfoam insulation and I can find no other companies around who will. His focus on service and technlogy is a perfect match. Then I visit with Norman McCrummen and Carol Grant to talk abot NEST – a local service for at-risk youth. Lots of kids out there need help and NEST is doing a great service for the community.

Cliff Kennedy tells a wonderful story of being stuck in traffic and pulling over to take a break and try a gourmet popsicle. In short order he became CEO of Frios Gourmet Pops with franchises across the country and aggressive plans to get in to making private label product. His bet is paying off.

Phillip Faulkner owns Avid Boats in Amory, Mississippi. He’s the son of a boat builder and once the family business was sold, Phillip knew he needed to be back in the business as a innovator and decision maker. He’s created new tools that shape the aluminum in a unique way, giving the boat the light-weight and low-cost of aluminum with appearance and elegance of a fiber glass boat. He’s a millennial, in his early thirties, and is quite impressive.

Scott Tindle is fresh off a trip to the Middle East and Egypt with the US State Department to represent the US’s interest in web 3.0 technology. Johnny Gwin adds to the conversation with his deep understanding of the technology and I try to keep quiet or risk total embarrassment and I do a poor job.
Hurricane Ivan wiped out Beatrice, Alabama’s Monroe Meats but a small team of investors brought it back. Their flagship product is Monroe Sausage and it is fantastic. Hear managing partner David Steele tell the story of the company and of today’s surging growth. And, heck, go find some and try it for yourself – you’ll be happy you did.

Solar technology continues to advance. More energy can be gained from a solar panel than ever before. And the panel’s are lasting longer than ever. Sam Yates sees huge opportunity in Alabama because of abundant sunshine and the fact that the state lags behind neighboring states in deploying solar technology. And lags by a LOT. Hear Sam’s plan for growing his company and find out why Alabama is so far behind. Foreshadowing: if you’re an Alabamian, you won’t be happy.
