Entrepreneurs undertake risk and responsibility, in order to solve problems, contribute their passions and talents to society, and make the world go round. Our success and survival depends on them, and they depend on you. Hear their stories, perspectives, and inspirations every week, as they reveal themselves in a conversation with Tara Brewster. Saturdays at 11AM and Sundays at 2PM on The Western Mass Business Show.

This Saturday, March 31st, at 11am, hear Ira speak with
PAUL SILVA who wanted a community of entrepreneurs when studying at UMass, so started the EntreClub, found that many budding business starters didn’t know how to organize themselves, so co-started Valley Venture Mentors, found that many owners running businesses had lost their start up verve, so started Lean Innovation Institute and Launch 413. If you’re looking for the guy who knows how to get things started and re-started, look no further, and listen in, this Saturday.

hear Ira speak with
ANGIE MONTALVO GREENE who, emerging from a bathhouse
on a 100° day in Japan, had their version of shaved ice, and knew she had to build a food truck and offer that at Western Mass fairs
and festivals, through her business, CHILL OUT. Hear how it is exciting, energizing, and scary. But also self- fulfilling, as her
growth plan includes teaching low-income college students
to run a food truck, in her growing business.

DR TOM NARO of MY PT: Tom and Ira discuss the business and benefits of physical therapy, how the field has changed since its inception, as well as the economics of supply and demand for PT; why his angle is coming to where you live or work (or visit you virtually); how ergonomics and body awareness can avoid a lot of pain; how he networks to meet people who might recommend him; how and when insurance enters into the deal.
Western Mass Business Show 3.3.18
3.3.18 Ira speak with LISA TOTZ of LT Consulting, who uses her talents as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and engineer to poke around inside of companies, to test the functionality of its processes and help the company improve productivity and satisfaction, reduce waste and redundancy, and better use the systems which they bought, but don’t take advantage of. Her love is to get people out of their day to day ineffective routines, change their minds about the challenges they face, and stay on course to reach their best target; rather than put a band aid on their perceived pains. She is also an Ironman Triathlete, so don’t think you’re going to wear her down.
