Pride. You know no entrepreneur is an island. We all need help on our respective journeys, but all too often pride seemingly gets in the way and we don’t step up to the plate and ask for help when we need it. To help bring the value of what can transpire when we do ask for help, I reached out to Craig Collins, the CEO of Cradle Technologies, a startup who has recently been selected by the Grindstone and Knife Capital Accelerator as one of the top 12 tech startups on the African continent and Howard Mann, the President of Business Brickyard in New York – for context Craig has achieved product market fit for his warehouse management system and is looking to scale his enterprise in the United States. Howard is a player coach who specialises in helping entrepreneurs generate more sales and grow their businesses. You’re about to hear a live three-way coaching session between Howard, Craig and myself designed to help Craig scale his business in the states next year. I’d like to leave you with this. Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

Having conversations with clinicians can be difficult, Howard Mann, a 30 year supply chain professional, discusses how to prepare for physician conversations regarding vendor consolidations to reduce number of suppliers for product or product categories.

While leading his freight and logistics business through the recession of the mid-to-late 90s, Howard Mann wished there was someone that he could talk to about his troubles and guide him through those difficult times. After successfully making it through the recession, Howard sold his business and began working toward this goal. Today he is an active blogger, author, and “player-coach.” Howard Mann wants you to be successful in your business and is prepared to help you in any way at any time, even at 10 o’clock at night!   In this episode of Learning Life, Howard Mann talks with Jon Tota about client management, the three principles he lives by, how to find the awesome in what you do, and how to inspire a growing company.

A man walks his dog in front of vacant commercial spaces along Main Street in Fitchburg, Mass. (Credit: Jesse Costa/WBUR) While Boston has more than rebounded from the great recession, many of New England’s smaller cities are still feeling the pain of de-industrialization. But in Massachusetts, some of these former mill towns are plotting a comeback. We take a look at what two so-called Gateway Cities are doing to provide economic opportunity — and we consider how the high cost of rental housing in growing towns can keep some low-income New Englanders from getting a leg up. In the second part of this episode, we continue our series about the biggest issues facing each of the New England states this election season. And finally, we remember an iconic New England restaurant chain as it fades from the region. Gateway to the American Dream Immigrant workers from Ireland and Germany were some of the first laborers in Lawrence, Massachusetts, filling the city’s 19th-century mill buildings with the hum of textile looms. Today, Lawrence has converted these buildings to refurbished work spaces for artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Shannon Dooling of WBUR brings us the story of how two Massachusetts towns are working to pull their economies into the 21st century. Angie Jimenez is a graduate of Entrepreneurship for All, a business accelerator program in Lawrence. She’s starting a cooking school in a renovated mill building in the city.

(Credit: Jesse Costa/WBUR) It seems that the closer you are to the boom that's happening in Boston, the better off you are, and the same goes for cities in southwestern Connecticut, in the orbit of New York City. But economic booms bring high housing costs, sometimes far exceeding what lower-wage workers can afford. That's especially problematic in many of New England's coastal communities. And as rent prices rise, assistance for those who can't afford those rents is not keeping pace. We speak with Andrew Flowers, an economics writer at FiveThirtyEight, whose recent article on the subject profiled a family in South Portland, Maine. (Credit: FiveThirtyEight) Happy Fall! Can You Smell the Election? In New Hampshire, a high-profile Senate race is racking up record spending. In Massachusetts, ballot questions like whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use, and whether to lift the state cap on charter schools, loom large. And in Maine, perhaps the biggest question is whether Governor LePage’s latest outbursts will tilt the state legislature’s power balance toward the Democrats. Our panelists are Casey McDermott, digital reporter for New Hampshire Public Radio; Felice Belman, politics editor at the Boston Globe; and Bill Nemitz, columnist for the Portland Press Herald and the Maine Sunday Telegram. (If you missed last week’s conversation on Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont, you can listen here). Bye Bye, HoJo’s! Howard Johnson’s began as a seaside stand on Wollaston Beach in Quincy, Massachusetts, where clams, along with rich ice cream, and hot dogs — called “frankforts” — helped make the place famous. Hojoland.com features photos of “HoJo Ghosts” – buildings that were once Howard Johnson’s and have been converted. This one on Route 34 in Derby, CT is now a Tail Gators bar. (Credit: Hojoland.com) The story goes that Bostonians came to love the place when Eugene O'Neill's “Strange Interlude” was banned in Boston, and theatergoers went south to Quincy to see a performance… with a dinner intermission at the Howard Johnson's across the street. At its height, there were more than 1,000 HoJos locations — with their iconic orange roofs — on highway rest stops, and dotting the neighborhoods of New England, New York, and points beyond. Today, Howard Johnson’s exists as a hotel chain, but there is just one HoJo’s restaurant left, in Lake George, New York. The last location in New England — in Bangor, Maine — closed earlier this month. To pay our respects, we invited Howard Mann, the man behind the website hojoland.com, to discuss the restaurant chain’s rich New England legacy. About NEXT NEXT is produced at WNPR.
