October 12, 2010: Feeding One Million Kids with Old Computer Equipment

Featured Guest

Kamel Shaath was trying to think of a way they could help give back during these hard times. He developed a program that will help business, save the Earth and feed over one million hungry kids.

The Junk-A-Juke program will enable businesses to upgrade their older storage systems for free. Many companies are still using old storage equipment (many of which are being “end of lifed” by Dell and HP) and in need of upgrades. These systems can cost into the hundreds of thousands (depending on capacity). Old storage solutions tend to be bulky and are costly to dispose of. As a result, more than 80% end up in landfills.

KOM Networks is doing this not only so they can keep the equipment from landfills, but they will break down the systems and sell the components or raw materials (though KOM’s recycling partner). The money raised is going to help fight hunger through Feed The Children (www.feedthechildren.org). Businesses of any size can take advantage and they can get rid of any older computer equipment taking up space in closets, server rooms, data centers, etc. They can also write of the recycled costs as charitable giving. KOM arranges the pickup, recycling, and installation of a brand new Dell powered storage/archive solution.

This helps businesses with storage needs, the earth and hungry kids at the same time. KOM’s goal is to feed one million hungry kids (15 million kids die every year of starvation).

August 10, 2010: “Sew What” is so important about innovative technology?

Featured Guest

Megan Duckett, Founder of Sew What? Inc. credits her progressive deployment of innovative technologies in transforming her part-time passion for sewing into a flourishing business and the go-to entertainment and event industries resource for custom theatrical draperies and fabrics. What began with a single sewing machine, now extends to include drapes and backdrops for music superstars including Green Day, Beyonce, Sting and even Lady Gaga.

When working with celebrities of such high caliber, first impressions are everything, which created a dilemma for Sew What?, a small company operating out of a little office in Rancho Dominguez, CA. Megan’s crowded workspace outside Los Angeles was hardly an appropriate venue for meetings with her superstar clients and she needed some means to present them with her designs.

Sew What? counts on technology to extend their sales reach, deliver topnotch customer service and to increase workforce productivity, so it was only natural that Megan would look to technology for a solution, implementing a remote video conferencing solution. “Now I can reach clients in Hollywood and Nashville from right here in my office,” says Megan.

Technology has helped Sew What? bring this innovative business model to market – a model that could be highly beneficial for other entrepreneurs and small companies that do business cross country and even internationally. Rather than spending a large portion of the budget on travel, they could be saving time and money in the long-term by investing in a technology solution.

For Megan, investment in IT has translated to a 30 percent boost in profit and an increase in staff from 3 to 35 over the past six years, and Sew What? is just one example of a company using technology as a growth tool. The Dell Take Your Own Path hero recently joined a panel of tech champions at the Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network (DWEN) conference in Shanghai to discuss this very topic.

August 2, 2010: For those who wish their kids came with an instruction manual…

Here’s a book for you. Authors Traci Davis & Vicki Holleman-Perez have written The Momma Guide, providing everyday practical advice for mommas everywhere. The Momma Guide addresses topics are far-ranging as birth, health problems, depression, divorce, death, and everything in between. As inspirational as it is informational, the hefty volume (461 pages) is a handy reference guide whenever something new and challenging comes up around the house. And though it might be easy to think of it as a “Desk Reference for Moms,” the information within is equally applicable to dads.

Written by mommas for mommas—a book-length reassurance that “You are not alone” and “You’re not the only one who’s ever had difficulty understanding how to be a good momma”—the delightful book took longer to write than normal because the author’s, practicing what they preach, put their families first, often writing with a child on their lap.

Traci Davis grew up in a small farming and ranching town where she had to find her own fun the good old fashion way: riding horses with her friends and making up games as they went along. A one-time rodeo queen and a born entrepreneur, Traci owned TLC Cleaning for over ten years and now runs the highly successful Tan Yer Hide and Tone It Too! Traci lives in Texas with her husband Tom and their two daughters.

An Eastern Washington native and a rodeo queen herself, Vicki Holleman-Perez lives in Ellensburg with her husband Jose and seven children. A freelance graphic designer, she holds a BA in speech communications, public relations, and marketing. She and Jose own a DJ/karaoke company that for almost fifteen years has provided entertainment throughout the northwest.

February 16: Meredith Walt has been a family therapist for the better part of the decade, and the bulk of her experience has come from community based work.  Meredith worked with families in intense crisis, with little resources available to them, and zero tolerance for “textbook talk”.  Recently, she narrowed her focus by creating a company, Bag of Tricks Parenting that is geared towards parents that are primarily stable, yet struggle with a handful of common frustrations that appear to be universal.  Generally, when parents reach out for help, they are sold on theories (be consistent, follow through, set boundaries), which they do not know how to implement in the moment.  Meredith’s approach is twofold; there is a fundamental re-education as to why situations have become so out of hand, and solution focused specifics, which can be applied to a variety of situations.  Meredith’s bottom line:  Parents cannot allow their child’s behavior to change their course of action.  There needs to be a clear “power line” with an expectation of how their family is run.  Moving from reactive parenting to proactive parenting is crucial, and Meredith teaches step by step, situation by situation how to accomplish that bottom line.
