Owner

Peter Vekselman is an established real estate investor and leader who has developed a new and synergistic approach to home selling and real estate investing.

By offering sellers the security and convenience of a cash purchase or the benefits of listing their property through a conventional realtor, clients of Peter are provided with a wider range of options and the flexibility needed to adjust to situational demands. Not only has this model proven valuable those on the sell side, it has also created tremendous investment opportunities for those looking to build wealth through real estate acquisition.

Because of his new Trifecta business model, his team is closing 8-10 investment deals per week and are currently overseeing over 200 properties listed in the Atlanta area.

Having grown his Atlanta-based operation to a national network of affiliates, Peter is excited about the opportunity to spread his message and create opportunities for real estate sellers, investors, and professionals alike. To that end, he would be appreciative of any opportunity to be interviewed on one of your podcasts to help create wealth generation opportunities for your listeners.

robinAlex — Alex & Robin talk about “The Good Ole Days” and the real struggle for artist today.

“Rotey”

Rotey was born in a relatively small town named Waterloo Iowa, where he spent his early childhood. When Rotey was 9 years old, he moved south to the metro Atlanta area. It was shortly after the move when Roteys parents split up, and his Father moved back north to Chicago, leaving his mother to provide for the two of them, and a young Rotey with plenty of time alone. It was during this isolation that his passion for hip hop was born. Rotey bought his first “rhyme book” in high school, and hasn’t looked back since. What started out as just a way to express himself has since blossomed into a full blown career as both an artist and producer, sweeping across college campus’s in the southeast. Fueled by a relentless ambition, Roteys fast paced wordplay and emotionally packed memoirs, coupled with his charming charisma and sharp wit ensure the young MC is not only here to stay, but to thrive.

Spotlight Episode: Doing Good Atlanta

00:00 /

This is a spotlight episode of Atlanta Business Radio featuring non profit organizations in metro Atlanta. Highlighting the good work, community involvement and how to operate a succesful not for profit business.

Michael Dayl, James Franklin, Corey Moore, Dr. Joi Freemont

Dr. Joi Freemont / The Freemont Foundation

President

The James M. and Erma T. Freemont Foundation was created on the legacy of Dr. James McKinley Freemont, Sr. (1942 – 2013). His life’s works were built on integrity, hard work, and genuine laughter. He was an obstetrician/gynecologist, medical acupuncturist, and hospital administrator. He believed in higher education and Christian principles. His dedicated wife of 47 years, Erma, and children are determined to continue his legacy by funding projects that reflect his nature.

Dr. Freemont’s contributions to his wider community are too numerous to count, from his ongoing dedication to his alma mater, Southern University, to his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., to his beloved family, and many others. His circle of friends and family was very important to him, as was his sense of service. His dedication to the South Fulton Medical Center and his community of patients and staff is living on in the lives of the more than 7,800 babies that Dr. Freemont delivered, and in the memories of the lives he touched with his humor, his sense of commitment, and excellence.

Annually, the James M. and Erma T. Freemont Foundation awards scholarships to deserving students attending institutions of higher education. In our first two years, with the help of phenomenal supporters, we raised over $30,000 for scholarships and have named twelve “Freemont Scholars”.

Corey Moore / Social Georgia

Founder

Corey ‘ NetworKing’ Moore is the founder and CEO of ProNetworker, Atlanta’ s largest online resource center for business events, networking events, seminars, and expos. Currently, ProNetworker hosts four to seven events per month as well as produces two to three conferences/expos and niche events yearly. Two past events have featured speakers like Daymond John & Kevin Harrington, stars of ABC’ s award winning ‘ Shark Tank’ . Companies that have used ProNetworker to feature their products/services include Atlanta Business Chronicle, Microsoft, Sprint, InfusionSoft, BNI, Constant Contact, Fifth Third Bank, and American Express.

Initially, SocialGeorgia started out as a way to raise money for local nonprofits; however, it quickly reshaped into something far greater: a social movement. As SocialGeorgia’s devoted team went out into the community to engage with local nonprofits, a discovery was made. It was more than just money and resources missing. It was the practice of kindness and the understanding of sustainability.

As a way to fulfill this need, SocialGeorgia developed a #12DaysofKindnesscampaign, in which the team reached out to the Atlanta community by performing random acts of kindness. Through this campaign, SocialGeorgia witnessed an enormous transformation thanks to the one key ingredient they added that had been missing from the community pot: togetherness.

During the campaign, the SocialGeorgia team heard countless stories from struggling nonprofits that began their organizations when a problem came tugging at their heart strings. Whether the problem was rooted in their own personal experiences or the experiences of others, they knew something had to be done. Each nonprofit intended to make a difference, but sadly their dream was deferred. Unable to communicate their results and improve on their capabilities, the community members they served became restless. Out of frustration, members of the community attempted to solve these issues on their own. Although their intentions were admirable, they were also unsuccessful.

After hearing similar stories from various nonprofits, our team quickly realized how efforts were being duplicated, resources were being wasted, and members of the community were suffering silently from feeling forgotten. Even though it’s well known that two heads are better than one, many people we interacted with were working separately and losing sight of a universal truth: “Together We Build”.

We believe our community needs a safe space to reconnect, repair, and restore togetherness with like-minded people.  As a way to meet the needs of the community it proudly serves, SocialGeorgia has revamped its mission, vision and structure to eradicate this issue of division.
