While attending the University of Pennsylvania, Mike Bolla and some of his classmates became acutely aware of the need to protect our country’s freedoms as a result of Iranian hostage crisis, and enlisted in the Army. Consequently Mike has a special place in his heart for veterans, their families, and the unique challenges many of them face. After selling a successful trust business, Mike decided 10 years ago to give back to these veterans. At that time, he assisted his father in applying and qualifying for Aid and Attendance benefits – a process that took him 14 months, and a great deal of frustration. Coincidentally, a local pastor asked him to help a couple of parishioners through the process. As a result, Mike spent a good bit of time evaluating the process, and streamlining an approach to assist veterans navigate it. A year ago, Mike decided to expand the reach of his efforts by creating Heritage LifePath to provide a broader array of services to veterans. Recently, Mike invited registered nurse Nancy Votta to join him in his work. Mike is thrilled to be able to provide these services free of charge to the veteran. If you would like more information, or would like to speak directly with Mike, please send him an email at info@heritagelifepath.org, or call (678) 602-9559, or visit their website at www.heritagelifepath.org.

This International Licensing & Merchandising Show & Conference was established to be the platform and hub for the licensing industry in what is known as the New Europeanregion. This region consists of Eastern, Central, South Europe, Russia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, a region consisting of 35 countries and 400 million people. Pete was privileged to speak at the Licensing New Europe 2010 conference in Zagreb, Croatia, last November.
The highlight of the BrandMoney radio show was hearing about the upcoming Licensing New Europe conference being held March 14 – 16, 2012 in Moscow. With Russia growing at a 25% compound annual rate many Fortune 100 companies including Coca-Cola are investing heavily in the Russian market. Moreover, the conference was strategically scheduled to with coincide with the Toy and Stationery conferences. This will provide tremendous synergy as both conferences rely heavily on brand licensing.
If you are planning to invest in the Russian market you won’t want to miss this show.
