Skill-Life was featured on the radio show “The American Entrepreneur” hosted by legendary businessman Ron Morris. You can check out a podcast here.
Being on the show was like sitting in a coffee shop talking everything business — from the big idea to the day-to-day journey. We ended up going longer than expected — over an hour that included a few calls from listeners. Ron Morris is one of these guys who’s been there — as an entrepreneur and as an individual. He has a tremendous personal story and has started 11 companies.
We’ve already gotten a good response from having appeared on the show, including two serious inquiries. The goal now is to take the energy and opportunity to keep pushing ahead.

Over the last two weeks, I have been on a couple of radio shows — talking Skill-Life and financial education. People are recognizing the tremendous progress we have made at Skill-Life and how important our work is in the midst of this financial crisis.
On November 24th, I was one of three guests on the Mark DeSantis Show on Pittsburgh Renaissance Radio (Money Talk 1360 WMNY). During the program, host Mark DeSantis took a look at entrepreneurs who have come to Pittsburgh to start their businesses. He talked with me as well as with D Raja, the President of TIE Pittsburgh (From India), and Nikolay Ivanov of Big Dog Coffee (From Bulgaria by way of Atlanta). A podcast of the show can be found here: http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-26344/TS-167335.mp3
Last week, I was featured in a segment entitled “Early Lessons on Financial Education” by Katherine Fink of WDUQ 90.5 for the program All Things Considered. The segment focused on financial education efforts directed at Pennsylvania high school students. A podcast can be found here: http://wduq.org/news/features/youngfinancialed12032008/youngfinancialed.mp3
This Saturday, I will again be on Pittsburgh Renaissance Radio as a guest on Ron Morris’s show The American Entrepreneur. “The American Entrepreneur is Western Pennsylvania’s only weekly radio talk show devoted entirely to the entrepreneurial experience. Each Saturday from 9 AM to 12:30 PM on Money Talk 1360 WMNY, Ron Morris puts over thirty years of entrepreneurial experience to work answering your business questions, solving your business problems, and bringing you all the latest information about everything that is happening on the entrepreneurial landscape.”
