What are Banks Really for??????????

So having said all that and being wrapped up six ways to Sunday. It was what was. It was definitely a death sentence, but maybe a slow walk to the rifle range. You see a lot of people blamed me for the position we were in! You know when Araban was small and our sales were 5.7 million dollars a year, we were solid! Yeah i would have to agree with that but where was it going? The other thing was nobody realized the old owner was making $1,000,000 bucks a year and not putting a dime back in to grow the company. I didn't even know that until I bought it and had control of the books so, what are you going to do tell everyone a boohoo story of how the owner underpaid you, overworked you never even knew half your names but it is going to be ok?
No I had a different plan a more transparent plan, but I needed help, I needed to change the culture in a hurry and I felt like I was part of the culture. I needed a few good men to be on a management team that could implement my vision of changing the culture. It was a difficult time at best. In debt up to my ears, I was personally guaranteeing things I couldn't possibly follow through on , but the bank had what they thought they wanted, a sacrificial lamb, and their ironclad security in what was a complete shitshow three months earlier. You know I never even got a thanks from them. That is the trouble with banks, a have theory that could virtually eliminate the workout section of banks but that's for another post. I am talking about revolutionizing the banking industry, but do you think anyone would listen? You know what industry is keeping the economy from growing? It is banks, oh do you know how much money they got in the bail out years? Do you know what small business got in those same years?
We need change and we need it fast, because everyone I have met in the banking industry in the last 20 years should be teaching micro economics at a high school in their hometown!! IT IS A JOKE!!! And no one is standing up to them, why? Really Why? enough for tonight, but there will be plenty more detailed posts to come! Follow, you might find it interesting! That's the plan Stan. Joe

The Espresso Information!!

Hi everyone, I LOVE a good espresso and it always troubled me about the lack of knowledge some people had about coffee and espresso, especially in the U.S., because that's where I am from, I am not sure this is prevalent throughout the world, but there are some things everyone should know about espresso. First off, it doesn't matter what type of roast or beans you use really. It just matters that the coffee is ground to a certain fineness. This causes the massive amount of pressurized extraction you get from brewing it in an espresso machine!! The massive pressure that an espresso machine provides is the key to good espresso, not the beans or the blend, or the roast shade. In fact, some of the most powerful espresso I have ever tasted is from a roast that most people would describe as light roasted coffee!!  You see the way the espresso interacts with the brain is very different. It calls into attention a brain function called Adnosine which releases adrenaline into yo...

The Coffee Roasting Process and Its Effects On The Products You Drink!

By Joe Leary/Principal/Lead Source Digital Marketer's & KYC Consulting on LinkedIn Today I would like to explain just how much the roasting process effects the coffee we consume on a daily basis. I sincerely hope you find this article enjoyable, interesting and informative. I am going to attempt to explain the 4 major roasting processes and what it does and doesn't do to the world's second most popularly traded commodity. Before I get started, there is something you need to know about coffee. When coffee is roasted it goes through a process, within that process the beans are altered by temperature and generally gas, LNG, electricity and even wood. During this process the beans reach levels within that process that makes the beans, "crack". Depending on how light or dark they are being roasting they "crack either once or twice. This alters the flavor profile tremendously, so please keep that in mind while reading this article. I have included some...
