Love 'em or hate 'em, eventually you're going to need a lawyer, especially in business, or in any language where commerce is done.
Emily Taylor, Gene Barton, Chris Robertson and Julio Gomez were on the TV show this morning as we filmed Episode #7 (Legal Plan) on the Language of Business. Their respective backgrounds are below. They were all terrific and this episode should air in about 6 weeks, or so. The Show is now broadcast on over 20 stations in the US, coast-to-coast. It's been extremely helpful, to date, achieving our primary objective to generate project leads for our Boston College Consulting and Business Plan courses.
