3 Things Business Owners Don't Know That Can Hurt Them is covered in this podio, along with the following subjects: - What is the Corporate Transparency Act - How does it impact small business owners? - Why Small Businesses Must Prioritize Compliance and Cybersecurity *************************************** Many business owners may not be aware of the Corporate Transparency Act and its potential impact on small businesses. This act aims to combat money laundering and terrorism financing by requiring certain small businesses to report their beneficial ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Paul has a diverse legal and business background that includes, creating resilient security and privacy compliance programs – including one for an auto insurer; successfully prosecuting intellectual property portfolios; successfully litigating federal and state commercial disputes around the country, and helping small and mid-sized business owners navigate numerous risk management issues.

Greg Bordonaro, is the editor of the Hartford Business Journal. Special Session thoughts, new developments in housing in the state. 

For many of us, our pets are family, and few things are as crushing as learning that a family member has been diagnosed with cancer, knowing the battle they have ahead of them. Thankfully we have people like Ashley Kalinauskas, who launched a cancer-battling biotech start‑up that resulted from her graduate thesis project at the University of Notre Dame. Ashley Kalinauskas is the founder and CEO of Torigen, a biotechnology company helping our furry best friends live longer, healthier lives. Their initial product, VetiVax, is a personalized cancer vaccine that was originally developed to move forward for human clinical studies, but was repositioned to help the millions of dogs, cats and horses after a cancer diagnosis. Ashley has grown the company from an idea on the scientific benchtop, to a company of over 30 employees poised to help grow the animal health industry. Not only is Ashley a brilliant researcher, she is also a keen businesswoman who has successfully raised $16 million in investment funds so that they can continue to develop innovative immunotherapies.  Ashley has been recognized with numerous awards, such as Forbes 30 Under 30 2020, Animal Health Innovation USA Award 2021, Notre Dame Domer Dozen 2021,  and Hartford Business Journal's 2023 Power 50.  The first Pretty Powerful Podcast of 2024 kicks off in a big way with this inspiring and engaging conversation!

THE CONNECTICUT BUSINESS BLEND Greg Bordonaro, Editor, Hartford Business Journal.

I am joined by Meghan Freed, Managing Co-Partner of Freed Marcroft, a law firm in CT. Meghan shares her experience with the different types of legal support available to couples seeking divorce. She discusses the many benefits of mediation and the opportunities that come along with pursuing a partnership through a divorce. Meghan gives some wonderful mindset shifts during this episode, so tune in or share the episode with someone who could benefit from viewing divorce in a more empowering way.  In this episode: [1:50] What brought Meghan to family law? [7:05] Meghan describes her law firm and the services she provides in CT? [10:57] What are the benefits of mediation? [14:04] Different definitions of divorce - it's not always bad. [19:45] What is it like to be in divorce practice with her spouse? Key Takeaways:  Benefits of mediation: privacy, flexibility around unpredictable schedules, beneficial for children if both parents can agree, powerful to look back on the divorce in the future and see positives, can be cost-effective, you can be creative in designing things how you want them. Mediation is about acknowledging the situation around us. We control how we handle the circumstance, which is where you take back the power of the situation. Focus on how you can respond but not react to circumstances. Quotes:  “A mediation takes both people agreeing to opt into it. Even though we often have clients who are interested in it themselves, if their spouse doesn't come around to it, we just give them the best litigative support we can.” - Meghan Freed  “The life change can be incredibly transformative. It is an opportunity for both the leaning-in spouse, the person who wants to stay in the relationship, and the leaning-out space. It's not just transformative for the person who wants to leave the marriage; it can be really transformative for the person who doesn't want it.” - Meghan Freed Bio: Meghan is Managing Co-Partner of Freed Marcroft, a Connecticut law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to divorce and family law. Meghan is experienced with alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation; she is a graduate of Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation and has supplemented her formal legal education with advanced training in mediation. She is a member of the Connecticut Council for Non-Adversarial Divorce. Meghan is widely recognized for her leadership in the legal community. She was included on the New England Super Lawyers® Rising Star list in 2013 for general litigation, in 2014 for her estate planning work, and again from 2015-2020 for family law. In 2013, she was named a Hartford Business Journal 40 Under Forty winner, and a Connecticut Law TribuneNew Leader of the Law. In 2014 the Connecticut Women's Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF) named her one of 40 Women for the Next 40 Years. Meghan is particularly proud of her practice within the LGBT community. Her name appears in the Connecticut Supreme Court's groundbreaking decision on marriage equality, Kerrigan v. Commissioner of Public Health, for which she co-authored an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the Human Rights Campaign. She has appeared on WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show speaking about the state of divorce – same sex or otherwise, WNPR's Where We Live, discussing the impact of the United States Supreme Court's decisions in the same sex marriage cases, United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry, and on Lite 100.5 FM WRCH discussing the impact of divorce on clients' emotional health. She is a founding executive board member of the Connecticut Bar Association's LGBT Section and previously served as its Chair.

There's been heavy emphasis put on computer programming education in recent years. Tech moguls like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg have all predicted that "learning to code" will be as ubiquitous as learning algebra. What opportunities are there to learn to code in Connecticut? This hour, we hear from the owner of three Coder Schools in our state, Vaishali Shah. Hartford Business Journal reports she "is the first person in Connecticut to open up a coding for kids after school and summer camp program." We'll also speak with a computer science class that participated in the Lt. Governor's third annual "Coding for Good" computing challenge. A recent study on the state of computer science education identified lingering disparities in access. "51% of public high schools offer foundational computer science," the Code.org Advocacy Coalition found. Plus, one expert weighs in on what it really means to consider a career in coding. Sophia Matveeva is CEO of Tech for Non-Techies, a consultancy helping professionals "speak tech." While "many are wondering what they really need to know about technology to succeed in the digital age," Matveeva clarifies that "most leaders don't need to learn to code. Instead, they need to learn how to work with people who code." "The myth of coders in a garage creating a billion-dollar company is persistent," says Matveeva. "The story of non-technical professionals driving technological change is not often told, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist." GUESTS: Vaishali Shah: Owner, The Coder School in Farmington, Glastonbury and soon, Cheshire Kristin Violette: Computer Science Teacher, Newtown High School Julia Camman: Student, Newtown High School Sophia Matveeva: CEO, Tech for Non-Techies; Host, Tech for Non-Techies Podcast Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Chesky is the President of Insuritas a leading provider of embedded insurance solutions for financial institutions in the U.S. Matt says the process of ensuring you are getting the right coverage at the right price is painful. Insuritas believes part of the solution is to embed access to insurance products in environments where customers are already used to spending time. Insuritas is an 'original' insurtech, founded in the late 90s to help banks and credit unions run their own insurance agencies as a turnkey solution, so have two decades of experience with embedded insurance platforms.  Matt relays that every customer who walks into a bank is already an insurance buyer, so discovering the way to identify the right timing and solution in their hands, for example embedding auto insurance at the point of a new car loan in the bank branch. The second key is making the buying process as easy as possible, by pre-filling as much information as possible. The third key is having the insurance conversation in a highly-trusted relationship as an extension of the local bank where insurance represents the 4th or 5th product in the relationship. Consumers are not singularly focused on price, they want the right coverage and a trusted relationship, so enabling banks and credit unions to provide personal insurance remains a highly attractive opportunity space. Matt is widely recognized as a thought leader in the banking and insurance verticals, and has been recognized by the Hartford Business Journal and Connecticut Magazine's '40 Under 40' lists. He graduated from Yale University. Follow the Insurtech Leadership Podcast airing weekly hosted by Joshua R. Hollander. We give you up-close access and personal insights from the leaders of the fastest-growing #insurtechs and most innovative #insurance carriers and brokers.

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com BUOYED BY TECHNOLOGY, OTIS REFLECTS ON A “SOLID” FIRST HALF In a second-quarter earnings call in late July, "solid" is how Otis CEO Judy Marks and Chief Financial Officer Rahul Ghai described the recently independent company's performance in the first half of 2020 — a year that presented challenges, mostly from the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis hasn't been all bad news for Otis: With continued business recovery in China and across the Asia-Pacific region (other than in India), the company is seeing interest in and demand for touchless and Internet of Things technology increase, although this isn't yet reflected by earnings, the Hartford Business Journal reported in August. In a pilot program, Otis recently installed gesture- and voice-activated elevator technology at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. A casino official says it is the first casino to do so, and Otis Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy Chris Smith says he expects demand for such technology to increase worldwide, even after the pandemic. ELEVATOR WORLD plans to include a more in-depth look at Otis' year so far and expectations in our November 2020 issue.

FOF Episode 32 Before embarking on her professional path, Ms. Gallardo pursued an education at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, completing coursework in vocal performance in 2000. Subsequently, she continued her studies at Central Connecticut State University, enrolling in courses on communication, media studies, criminology, and public relations. In addition to these accomplishments, Ms. Gallardo has been certified as a domestic violence counselor by the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCADV).In light of her exceptional undertakings, Ms. Gallardo has accrued several accolades throughout her impressive career. In 2015, she was presented with the Live Your Dream Award from the Farmington Valley, Connecticut, chapter of the SIA. Notably, she was honored with the First 100 Men and Women Award from the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence that same year, the first year women were able to be inducted. Moreover, Ms. Gallardo accepted the Women of Inspiration Award from the CT Sun of the WNBA in 2015. In 2018 She received the 40 Under Forty award from the Hartford Business Journal and in 2019, the 40 Under 40 award from CT Magazine.A dedicated single mother who is committed to raising her daughter to be well-versed in healthy relationships, Ms. Gallardo is further dedicated to making survivors feel comfortable, as she can relate to their experiences; she has walked in their shoes in a way that a therapist may not have, which allows them to connect and overcome their pain. Looking toward the future, she hopes to release the Veterans for Victims Program in Connecticut and, eventually, nationwide. Furthermore, Ms. Gallardo plans on completing her memoir, compiling the stories of other survivors, and cementing herself as a living example of life and success in the wake of domestic violence SARAH GALLARDO Executive Director of Sarah Speaks Up Public Speaker, Advocate, DV Counselor Author of Hiding In Plain Sight sarahspeaksup.org   The Choice As little Sarah played with her dolls in the shade, She never gave the mommy cuts and bruises. When she grew up big and strong her Prince Charming came along And she learned that every game they played, she loses. The smiles turned to shouting, Holding hands to flying fists. I And every day another piece of Sarah was dismissed.   Split lip. Broken nose. The love she had for him the greatest weapon that he chose. Until the day he shot at her, A nearly fatal miss. She believed that she deserved it, that her life would end like this. A hollow shell of skin and fear, Not a human any more. The exit in her mind now, All while staring at the door. Her power stripped, her spirit tattered. Every day she’d cry. Hopeless and confused, left wishing she would die.   Any hope that she’d get out alive belonged to someone else. An outstretched hand, a call from home To tell her that she’s not alone.   A choice.   To stay and throw her life away or leave for the unknown.   A glimmer, A sparkle. Like a single firefly, On its way to join the others and illuminate the sky. Her hope, at first so slightly, swayed amidst the wind. Now a fire burning brightly, day and nightly from within. Her eyes open, let the hope in, So she finally could look. And write tomorrow, less the sorrow, Another chapter in her book.   ~ Sarah Gallardo ©   https://www.facebook.com/sarah.spitko/videos/10208277307202790/?

On the first episode of 2020 for The Tatiana Show, we learn some real history from our guest Kevin Gutzman. He is a New York Times best-selling author of five books including The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution and his most recent, Thomas Jefferson- Revolutionary: A Radical’s Struggle to Remake America. Professor Gutzman teaches history at Western Connecticut State University and at former guest Tom Woods’ Liberty Classroom. With the current impeachment of Donald Trump by the House, Dr. Gutzman provides some historical context of the process and what are the correct reasons to impeach under the U.S. constitution.  We discuss the origins of impeachment developed in the English House of Commons as a check on the king’s power and the professor provides some examples in history when the process was used such as against Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford during 17th. Century England and U.S. supreme court justice Samuel Chase. Dr. Gutzman gives his take on the current political climate of America and answers the question of why the establishment is constantly undermining Donald Trump and his predictions for the 2020 election. We discuss nullification and can it be an effective means to curb the ever increasing size of the federal government, whether the population has become too docile and apathetic to shrink Washington’s power, and Professor Gutzman’s opinions of alternatives to the broken education system.  About the Guests: Kevin R.
