We covered Coconut Grove, Doral, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Edgewater/Wynwood and Little River/Little Haiti. Now it’s time to give you my final word on the subject. What is the next Brickell? […]

Terek’s water rescue deserves big #TY

The word “hero” get tossed around a lot these days, but I know someone who really deserves the title. It’s Terek Maddox – NFL trainer and frequent guest on Fried On Business.

Diabetes care illustrates ‘golden age’ in medicine

I had another truly top-tier medical professional on the show recently. He has a list of credentials as long as your arm, and a personality such that you’d never know it. He was very impressive, so much so that now Mom wants an appointment. Roy E. Weiss, M.D., Ph.D., is the new chairman of the […]
