On this special holiday edition of the Golden Share. Todd Fox, one of my good friends going back all the way to university stopped in for chat about his real estate company (Modern Living Rentals). As always we had a really informative discussion regarding the state of real estate in Ithaca and abroad. We went a little long on time this episode so we didn’t have to cut the good parts!

There has been a fierce debate happening in the health industry about the negative effects of electronic cigarettes. To date there has been no definitive answer. What you usually hear from healthcare providers is something similar to “its not good for you, but much better then traditional smoking”. This month we had an old friend of mine Jesse Gaddis, who broke out in the e-cigarette business stop in for a talk about all of this, and his company (Bedford Slims).

We had Patrick Cahill chat with us about his company (Beep!). We talked about his experience as an entrepreneur, and how his company is changing the landscape in the call center world.
