Drs. Graham Nash, MD and Raja Dhaliwal, MD discuss their continuing research at NeuroStudies.Net. Both doctors express their pleasure with the positive direction that these clinical trials are advancing, especially those related to Alzheimer’s Disease. Their studies seem to indicate that with new diagnostic techniques, better more accurate treatments are on the horizon.

NueroStudies.Net developed from Dr Nash’s private practice of neurology, and is dedicated to improve the treatments options for neurological disorders. Their research trials include the disorders of:

Alzheimer’s Disease
Dementia
Parkinson’s Disease
Multiple Sclerosis
Acute Stroke
Diabetic Neuropathy
Vascular Dementia
Migraine

Dr. Nash also discusses his foundation, NeuroScience Foundation. This foundation is unique in the clinical trials, research and development of the treatment options here on the local level. “We do not seek to find medications that are already available; we are looking to find new treatments to improve our patients’ illness and lives. We want to reverse the devastating effects of diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Stroke. We will do this by supporting the highest quality research right in our local communities. The patients are you, your friends, neighbors and family.”

For this exciting research to continue NueroStudies.Net is seeking qualified candidates to participate in their clinical research trials. “When you or your loved ones participate in our neurological research programs, you could be taking a critical step towards finding a solution to some of the most common diseases in neurology. The sacrifices made today by you or your loved ones can benefit the future of the medical community for years to come”

What a magical day in Booth 61. My HUNTER Technical Resources family celebrated the 15th anniversary of Atlanta’s Premier IT Staffing Firm and talked about the past and future of IT Staffing. Clint Bailey, Tracy Bailey, Alex Brown, and Scott Hall gave a great overview of how they started with very little in one of their apartments 15 years ago and how they are now one of Atlanta’s most respected and successful IT Staffing firms. The host talked a little more than he should but he just could not help himself. I have worked in a lot of industries and for a lot of interesting companies over the years even including an IT Staffing firm. I have not worked for a harder working group of young people with more integrity, character, and sense of fair play than Hunter Technical Resources. You will hear each of the four partners share their insight about what they attempted and what they accomplished. They all have a little different perspective but the story weaves itself into a beautiful quilt of many colors, people, clients, candidates, and just as importantly, our community. Hunter is the most generous company of its size in this industry, bar none.

The partners also gave a history of the IT Staffing industry in Atlanta. They have witnessed first hand remarkable changes these past 15 years and they see more changes in the near future.

You will also hear about a few of the not for profit organizations we support in our community. We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish as a team. Lives have been changed from the contribution of time and money from the Hunter team.

As you can see, the host is having just as hard a time writing the recap without inserting himself into the action as he had during the recording of the show. As Bobby Brown sang long before he married Whitney, “It’s My Prerogative”. 🙂

I don’t recall when I first was introduced to Joan Herbig. However, I do know that once I met Joan and became aware of all she has accomplished, I joined a large group of people in the technology community that hold Joan in high regard and with great respect. Joan will give you a glimpse of why I personally feel this way in this interview from Booth 61 on June 19th, 2013

Joan is currently CEO of ControlScan, which will be her next great success story. Joan is a former Chairman of the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). Joan has created a blueprint for what it takes to be a successful female entrepreneur while keeping her husband and children at the forefront of her life. Joan is the definition of balance. I started to list a few of my favorite take aways from this interview and soon realized that the preview might take you longer to read than just listening to Joan tell you herself so that is what we will do. You will be entertained, inspired, and I believe motivated to make changes in the way you approach business and during our closing minutes Joan shares a couple of really important tips for your career.

June 12th was a very special Booth 61. This was our first show with out of town guests. My good friend for the past 2 years and the Founder of Four Athens and the Four Athens Angel Fund brought one of the companies currently in the Four Athens space. Athens, Georgia is on fire with new technology and a new Angel Fund. Jim Flannery is one of the most interesting people I have met since I began making Athens my weekend home this past two years. Jim has a pulse on all things entrepreneurial in Athens and he has built a solid team of investors, board members, and advisers. I met Art for the first time on the 12th and later served Art and his family a delicious Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt at AthFest in beautiful downtown Athens. Art and his partner have created a unique technology which will help schools create a more favorable climate for success. Their company could be a change agent in the education system in Georgia and across the world.

You will be amazed to hear Jim and Art share great stories from the Classic City, Athens, Georgia. UGA and the entrepreneurial Eco-system in Athens will be something the State will be hearing more about in the very near future. You will have the inside scoop ahead of the pack.

Thank you Jim and Art for driving down and spending an hour sharing your wisdom, insight, and wit. It was a blessing having you in the studio.

One of the many blessings of being in our Atlanta Technology Community is I have the privilege of meeting a lot of very interesting people. Some become friends over the years and some become family. Jeff McConnell is a person who has become family to me. Jeff has gone out of his way time after time to help me, encourage me, and introduce me into his network.

Jeff McConnell is one of Atlanta’s leading advocates for the technology start-up community. Jeff is involved in mentoring, judging presentations, and coaching young entrepreneurs as they launch their companies. Although Jeff is a die hard Florida Gator, he shares his passion for Georgia Tech and all of the great innovation that come from the ATDC and other Georgia Tech programs. In addition, Jeff has been a senior executive in the payments space for many years.

I first began spending quality time with Jeff at his home where he hosts a once a month wine tasting. Jeff hosts the event, cooks all the food, and his wonderful family drop in to say hello to the guests. Jeff does this at no cost to anyone other than Jeff. He is a giver and a creator of opportunities for others. In this informal gathering people have found new jobs, business has been transacted, introductions to capital or talent have occurred and great friendships have developed.

You will learn a great deal by listening to this interview. If you ever have the opportunity to meet or hear Jeff speak, drop what you are doing and go to that event. I promise it will be worth every minute of your time.

Thank you for being such a great friend to me and to our technology start-up community, Jeff!

Tino Mantella and Ricky Steele in Booth 61

It was an honor to have my good friend and CEO of TAG, Tino Mantella in Booth 61 for a lively discussion. Tino has been instrumental in moving the Technology Association of Georgia from a solid association to a fast growing national powerhouse for the Georgia Technology Community. TAG is involved in issues that matter to our community from raising awareness to lobbying at the State legislature, increasing the talent pool in Georgia to more educational events than imaginable.

Tino is a force in our community and this interview gives me reason to be very excited about the future of the the technology industry in Georgia.
