We're going to visit with the individual that many people are saying is the only true Conservative in the Texas gubernatorial election. Debra Medina seems to have the blessing of the Tea Party activists. We're looking forward to hearing what she has to say.
A wise man with a great name once said, "Never, never, never give up." He also said, "Socialism is a philosophy
of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery," but that's a story for another broadcast.
It's easy to get discouraged when you're attempting a difficult task, but when the task at hand is what you feel you were meant to do, it's all the more important that you stick with it.
Today, we'll be speaking with two individuals that work in an industry where rejection is common. Marcus Lee Stephenson and Tiffany Jones are Dallas based actors who found their success in different ways. What they do share is a belief that failure is not an option.

Where did all the money go?
Posted December 18th, 2009
This Obama Economy isn't very pretty, is it? What does it take to get a loan these days? The only one lending is China, and we know where all that money is going.
What is an entrepreneur supposed to do? How can a start up raise capital? Experienced entrepreneurs aren't the only ones looking for money. With record unemployment rates, it only makes sense that victims of the Obama Economy who were laid off and who haven't been able to find work in months are starting their own businesses.
Where did all the money go? It's still out there, if you know where to look. Tune in to the Innovation at Work Radio Show at 3PM this Monday, December 21, and we'll show you the money. Steven Thrasher, an inventor and patent attorney, returns to the show to provide us with some valuable money making tips. How can you get venture capital? How can you attract the attention of an angel investor? These questions and more will be answered this Monday. This is one show you don't want to miss!

Randy DeWitt, the founder of Rockfish Seafood Grill, stopped by the Innovation@Work! Radio Show not too long ago. In an exclusive on air interview, he filled us in on the innovative history of the restaurant, including the birth of Twin Peaks, an offspring of sorts.
