Keep it Simple and Get Results

Bruce Turkel – CEO/EDC – Turkel Brands – Bruce is one of the leading experts on branding in the USA. We will discuss how to build your brand. We will talk about things our listeners can do immediately to improve their businesses, including the use of social media, how to direct customers to your business, how to set your firm apart and what ideas work and do not work. It will be irreverent and full of useful content. This week: Keeping It Simple Gets Results!

Walk In Lauren’s Shoes

Lauren Book, founder of Lauren’s Kids, was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for six years at the hands of her nanny. Armed with the knowledge that 95 percent of sexual abuse is preventable through education, Lauren has worked to turn her horrific personal experience into a vehicle to prevent childhood sexual abuse and heal survivors by starting Lauren’s Kids. Lauren’s Kids encourages victims to “shine a light in dark places” and “shed the shame.” On March 19, Lauren embarked on her fourth annual 1,500-mile Walk in My Shoes education and awareness journey. This year’s Walk kicked off in the Florida Keys. Lauren will crisscross the state, traveling north and across the Panhandle, before concluding in Tallahassee for the Rally in Tally on the steps of Florida’s Historic Capitol on April 23, 2013. This year’s rally will be especially meaningful, as April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the national 2013 theme is focused on the prevention of child sexual abuse.

During the 2013 Walk, Lauren will be highlighting a different key aspect of child sexual abuse each week: Signs; Disclosure and Reporting; Predators: Grooming/Pedophile Tactics; Prevalence and Healing; Effects of Child Sexual Abuse; Youth-Serving Organizations; Education and Prevention. To learn more about Lauren and her annual statewide Walk in My Shoes, visit www.LaurensKids.org.

We talk to Lauren from the road every week. This week’s topic: Grooming – how the abuser ingratiates themselves to hide their true intentions.

That Needle is Dirty – Do Not Touch It!

University of Miami medical students Hansel Tookes, Marek Hirsch and Dyani Loo. Hansel, Marek and Dyani were instrumental in the creation of a bill proposing a needle exchange program to be established in Miami-Dade county. We discuss the importance of this initiative to the health of all residents of the county.

What Falling Interest Rates Mean for South Florida Real Estate

As blockchain, crypto, and Web3 move deeper into the mainstream, digital-asset companies are now facing risks that evolve faster than traditional insurance models. In this episode of Fried on Business, host Jim Fried sits down with Jeffrey A. Glusman, Founder & CEO of BDIC Insurance, and James McCarthy, BDIC’s COO, to break down one of the fastest-rising needs in the market: blockchain insurance for the digital economy. Jeff Glusman and James McCarthy explain the real-world threats facing Web3 companies — from digital asset theft, cyber-intrusions, and smart contract exploits to regulatory uncertainty and custodial risk. They reveal what blockchain insurance actually covers, why most legacy carriers don’t understand this industry, and how BDIC is building smart, customized underwriting strategies for exchanges, NFT platforms, DAOs, token issuers, blockchain developers, and crypto-focused financial firms. The conversation explores: • What blockchain insurance covers (and what it doesn’t) • Cyber, E&O, D&O, and digital-asset-focused protections • Why underwriting Web3 is nothing like underwriting traditional tech • Real attack patterns that put Web3 companies out of business • How founders can protect investors, customers, and their brand If you’re building in Web3, investing in digital assets, or responsible for platform security, this episode delivers a practical roadmap for reducing risk, improving compliance, and protecting your business as the industry scales. The future is decentralized — but your risk management shouldn’t be.
