Cindy Stansell is the Owner of Salon Ten 17, named for the birth date of her son. Salon Ten 17 was recently honored in the “Best of Rome” awards as being the Best Salon, which offers great hair care for women, men, and children.

Cindy Gilstrap and Cindy Stansell are partners in The Wig Chix which offers hair replacement alternatives in a boutique setting.

Cindy and Cindy realized that the desire for beautiful hair does not stretch only to those who have undergone hair loss, but to many individuals for a vast number of reasons. They also realized that local options were few and far between for these individuals when looking for a dedicated wig boutique without having to drive hours into a larger city.

Once this realization hit, their solution was clear: Give the people of Northwest Georgia a place where they can comfortably and privately get the new look they desire. Their vision became a reality in June of 2019. The Wig Chix started as a simple idea and has bloomed into Rome’s fastest growing hair alternative boutique.

Services offered include wigs, toppers, hats, turbans, scarves, wig supplies, private fitting rooms, private appointments, personal styling and lessons for your new look, and head shaving parties.

Brett Winslette of Winslette Pharmacy graduated Summa Cum Laude from Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy in 2004 earning his Doctorate of Pharmacy degree. He joined Winslette Pharmacy directly out of school and has been on staff since 2004 as a pharmacist.

Winslette Pharmacy was also recently honored as the Best Pharmacy in the “Best of Rome” event managed by the Rome News Tribune.

Winslette Pharmacy was started in 1996 by Brett’s father, Keith. Brett’s sister, Brooke is also a pharmacist there. It is truly a family operation as Brett’s mother runs a gift shop in the store. Winslette Pharmacy offers big city service with small town relationships.

Water Resource Management

The basis of “water scarcity” is quite simple. When there is increasing demand for a finite resource that, in turn, has diminishing supply, then ultimately, we all have to deal with scarcity issues. In the case of water, this does not mean your faucet will go dry. It doesn’t mean that we will have to suddenly stop all economic growth. Scarcity typically means it will become tougher to acquire, become more expensive, and there will be growing competition for the resource. This holds true for water. The solution to scarcity is not fear, but strategic planning and smart water resource management.

Ron Fleming

Ron Fleming is President and Chief Executive Officer of Global Water Resources, a water resource management company that owns, operates and manages water, wastewater and recycled water utilities in strategically located communities, principally in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. Global Water Resources deploys an integrated approach called “Total Water Management” to manage the entire water cycle by owning and operating the water, wastewater and recycled water utilities within the same geographic areas in order to both conserve water and maximize its total economic and social value.

Global Water Resources uses Total Water Management to promote sustainable communities in areas where they expect growth to outpace the existing potable water supply. Their model focuses on the broad issues of water supply and scarcity and applies principles of water conservation through water reclamation and reuse. Their basic premise is that the world’s water supply is limited and yet can be stretched significantly through effective planning, the use of recycled water and by providing individuals and communities resources that promote wise water usage practices.

Ron joined Global Water in 2004, crossing over from the construction industry where he worked on numerous large-scale heavy civil infrastructure projects throughout Arizona. From 2004 to 2006, he served as Senior Project Manager of Engineering and Construction. From 2007 to 2014, he served as General Manager, Vice President, and Chief Operating Officer. He assumed his current role as President and Chief Executive Officer in January 2015.

Ron has more than 16 years of related management and utility experience, including serving on numerous industry and community board of directors. He is on the Board of Directors of the Maricopa Economic Development Alliance.

Ben Graff

Ben Graff with Quarles & Brady is an established Arizona land use and zoning attorney with extensive experience in government relations and Arizona politics.

As an Arizona native with deep roots in local politics and experience influencing strategic decisions related to land use policy, Ben’s successful practice is sustained through his connections with the development community, planning staff, neighborhood leaders, appointed officials, and elected officials in towns, cities, and counties throughout Arizona.

In 2004, Ben was appointed by Governor Janet Napolitano to serve a two-year term on the Arizona Board of Regents. He continues to serve as a Regent Emeritus, providing guidance and feedback regarding our state universities’ initiatives and strategic planning. On November 8, 2016, Ben was elected by the Maricopa County voters to serve a six-year term on the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (Central Arizona Project) Board of Directors.

Ben earned a BA from the University of Arizona and a J.D. from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. He is the namesake for the Benjamin Graff Award for Excellence in Public Service, University of Arizona, which was established in 2005.

BRX Pro Tip: Key Benefits of Being a BRX Guest Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:01] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk about some of the key benefits of being a Business RadioX guest.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:11] Yeah. So, what’s in it for the guests? The guests get to create a piece of content that is them talking passionately about what they do, number one. So, just the content that is created from being a guest is tremendously valuable for all of the guests that we have here. Now, they have something that they can share internally through their own marketing and get the word out about what they do. Obviously, being a guest, they get to get the word out through our marketing. And when we’re telling the world about what they do, and broadcasting the show, and then kind of sharing it through all the podcast networks and all the variety of social media channels, we share it.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:46] So, you get the exposure, you get the content. But another kind of benefit that we see over and over again is the guests get to see this episode, show up pretty high whenever they Google themselves, specifically their name and/or their business or company. When they Google themselves, our—the episode that they were on usually shows up on the first page of the listing if they’re a typical business person. Now, if they’re kind of a Joe social media person, it may not show up as high, but it does show up high, usually, first page somewhere on their rankings in Google.

Stone Payton: [00:01:24] So, another benefit too, I think, sometimes, gets overlooked is when you or a guest on a Business RadioX show, you are being interviewed by someone who has been, at least, exposed to some very solid hosting facilitation mechanics. And when you do have an opportunity to share the work you’re doing in that environment with someone who really is good at facilitating that conversation is going to help you solidify your own thinking on a number of key topics, and it makes you that much better of a business person or practitioner when you’re out there in the market.

Stone Payton: [00:02:00] I’ve gotten feedback like that over, and over, and over again. And it’s almost a form of media training too. We’re very friendly, and it’s a good place to, sort of, cut your teeth. And you can go on to do other interviews, and you’re that much more better prepared for other media interviews. But solidifying your own thinking, crystallizing your own thinking, and getting better and better at articulating what you do, why you do it, and how you serve the market. I don’t know of a better place to get that committed to paper or to tape, as it were, than to be on a Business RadioX show.

Nick-Anthony Zamucen is the Founder of four franchised organizations, two in which he currently still owns, Bio-One Inc. and Best Option Restoration (BOR). Bio-One Inc. is the first and only successfully franchised crime scene cleanup company.

He was also named “Top 40 CEOs under 40” by Business Diversity Magazine, “People to Watch” in the San Francisco Examiner and “Game Changers You’ll Love” by the G4 channel.

Nick’s core belief is that “Success breeds Success” which is why he spends so much time training his partners and franchise owners.
