1409_ 7/22/13 - It is surprising to some just how many businesses are looking at global expansion. That can be a jolting, shocking and expensive experience with huge penalties if not done properly.

Todd and his group focus on helping companies find homes for their businesses, whether that's office or industrial manufacturing. Todd said, "We come in and through our process, leverage the marketplace and help companies get the best value out of that real estate with the most flexibility. And, we work with companies from early stage all the way through to large Fortune 100 companies here in Colorado. We do stuff for companies all over the world, whether it's a sales office in China or a manufacturing plant in China or something in India or south Colorado.

Stand up, to protect our children here in Colorado
1414_ 7/29/13 - Are you familiar with the Child Abuse Prevention Project? Les Haber takes us back to the founding days, in Florida in the late 80's - early 90s. When Les arrived in Colorado he wanted to maintain his work with the project and started to look for the group here in Colorado. When he found it, he was disappointed because the Front Range CAP was so under funded. Today, Victoria Strong is the executive director, she's a wonderful person and one of only two facilitators that go into the school system and facilitate with these kids so they know they can remain safe, strong and free. Les met a financial planner and expert on retirement and retirement incomes - he does seminars - and he said, you put people in a room for me to talk to and we'll give all the money to Front Range CAP - It 's for the kids of Colorado. Les feels a lot of people don't understand, but Les is passionate in his belief that we have to stand up and join together to protect our children here in Colorado. Listen for more...

The 3 secrets for protecting your company and the environment

1410_ 7/22/13 - About 60% of recycled technology / equipment ends up overseas in Ghana, Africa, India or China. What is appalling when you look at some of these photos... you can actually see the company's asset tags still on the equipment.
IT Liquidators help companies recycle ethically but we first focus on the re marketing, helping them get value out of the excess equipment. Garry Seaber, CEO and Founder, said, "We call this, ITS Management 2.0. This model is to, buy, use, de-install, and then secure your data. Once your data is secure, you want to look at either selling or reuse of the equipment through donation." IT Liquidators is a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, so they can reload the operating system and make that equipment reusable. There are three important steps: 1: To focus on removing the data on hard drives through data destruction. Garry's firm uses Department of Defense technology to wipe these drives. It's HIPPA compliant, and certified by the NSA - so there's no chance of any data being able to be recovered. 2: Focus on selling or reuse of a company's older technology. IT Liquidators buy re-marketable equipment from their clients, putting much needed cash back into IT budgets vs. paying a recycler to take it away. 3: Otherwise 50% of equipment does end up overseas affecting air, toxins killing people, long term, a lot is getting into the water supply. This third option...Listen for more options...
