Acting icon William Shatner has enjoyed quite a ride in his long career from starring on Star Trek to multiple other movies and series including TJ Hooker in the 80s to the comedy series Third Rock From the Sun in the 90s to the acclaimed Boston Legal (for which he won two Emmys in the early 2000s). He’s made a name for himself in the quirky world of “spoken records” and been the long running spokesperson for Priceline.com. Now he’s become an outspoken advocate for eBikes as well. Ride along as he takes us on this journey and why his whole family now rides electric bikes with him (all fifteen of them). Even as he travelled on a river barge in Europe recently. It’s a “love story” like no other. From the Captain himself who’s now leading the charge in the EBike Revolution..

You screwed up. Made a bad decision. Now if you’re human, this has happened to you.  It’s inevitable.

Whether you’re an employee or business leader it has happened. And, I’m sure it has happened in your personal life as well.

The question is, how do you deal with this bad decision? And, what do you do about it?  One of the questions you need to consider with any bad decision is what are the unintended consequences?  

Join me, Angelo Ponzi, at the Business Growth Cafe as I explore this topic and offer up some ideas and steps you can take to deal with a “Bad Decision.”

 JB Jaso and Tyler Noesen were childhood friends.  Life has a way of moving on, Tyler, married the love of his life and JB went on to join the US Army and serve our country.  Even though they had not seen each other for a while, when Tyler was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer he asked JB to join him in Washington, DC and participate in PanCAN’s National Advocacy Day.  JB didn’t know what to expected that day, but from that day on he continued the fight with Tyler and still continues today even after Tyler’s death in 2012.

Join us for another amazing journey here on the PEDEGO PODCAST as we talk with Aaron Maynard who bought a Pedego in London back in 2013 when he was a Colonel in the US Air Force on assignment at the US EMBASSY there.  Whole idea was to get to work faster thru the maze of London traffic (and maybe enjoy some exercise and fresh air along the way).  Which led instead to him exploring the alleys and “Penny Lanes” of this historic city.  And eventually to return to his roots in South Carolina (after he retired) to open a Pedego Electric Bike store in Myrtle Beach. Leaving the Air Force to lead a new type of charge…
