Henry Dared to Live - Apr 18,2009

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:00:00 GMT

Eleven-year-old Henry Seiler was an energetic kid and an athlete who excelled in wrestling. But his life changed drastically one spring day in 1975 when he climbed on the back of a friend's motorcycle and went for a spin. Minutes later, Henry was lying in a crumpled heap. Rushed to the hospital in nearby Des Moines, Iowa, he spent the next forty-five days in a coma. After suffering a traumatic brain injury, Henry wasn't expected to live. But he did, and today, as an adult he explains his philosophy. “It is all about taking life as it comes to you; working through every day just as if it were like any other ordinary day.” Henry employed the same strong-willed determination in life as he did with developing his wrestling skills, using it to overcome his physical challenges.

California Proposition Roundup - Nov 08,2008

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:52:02 GMT

Jared's personal blog roundup of the 2008 California Propositions was one of the hottest blogs on the WordPress blogging system this week. As this hot political season winds down, Jared and Dean recap the California ballot measures and chime in about what is next for some of these measures on Saturday's show.

When will we have the bullet train? Does this put California into serious deeper debt problems? Are food prices going to increase for California meats because of Proposition 2 by 25% as some people claim? Are we all going to be stuck eating meat from Mexico? Did the children's hospitals really need the additional funds?

Of course, we'll cover the big one, Proposition 8. Is it even a matter of *IF* the proposition will be thrown out by the California Supreme Court or the state legislature? Proposition 8 is LONG from over. California still needs to reconcile passing the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution by a 2/3 majority vote but passing Proposition by only a 52.5% vote. Since the two conflict with each other and the California Constitution states that when two amendment conflict, the one with the higher vote prevails, Proposition 8 is invalidated by the 14th Amendment passing in 1959. How are Pro-8 folks going to take this?

Great Gift Ideas? - Oct 09,2008

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 03:27:41 GMT

There are no shortages of great gift ideas. However, some of the best gift ideas are not even known until someone puts them in front of your face. What does it take to get a gift product noticed? What separates one gift from another when it comes to successful sales?

For example, a business like the Precious Pearl jewelry necklace. This novel idea is quickly spreading around America like wildfire. There are already knock offs of the item, and still the saturation of this product is fairly limited. In other words, it's a great gift idea, is growing in popularity very rapidly, and still has a long time left before everyone has heard about it. In fact, Jared has been involved with marketing hard-to-find and unusual products for years and just heard about this product in September.

We want to find the next Great Gift Idea. Companies with highly unique items, yet massively marketable products, like the Precious Pearl, should contact us at our Words Cause Guest page. We want to know more about your business. We want to hear what you've struggled with and what you've accomplished along the way. We're putting together a show for the holiday season about great gift idea businesses, and we want you on it.

Businesses That Don't Pay Overtime Pierce the Corporate Veil - Oct 09,2008

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 03:15:29 GMT

Not paying overtime can make your executives vulnerable to being sued for violating labor laws. In last week's show, we discussed overtime wages with California labor law expert, Michael Tracy. The most shocking part of the interview comes in the first few minutes with Mr. Tracy, when he informs us about a federal law that allows employees to pierce the corporate veil when they have unpaid overtime claims.

What does that mean in layman terms? If you don't pay overtime, an employee can personally sue executives and managers who had a say in their employment. This isn't something that you want to find out the hard way, like one of the companies that Mr. Tracy sued for a client. Get the facts about overtime law for your business. In tough economic times like right now, not paying overtime is going to come back to bite you.

Bank Bailout Advice from George W. Bush? Why!?! - Oct 02,2008

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:23:26 GMT

Dean and I mostly discuss business topics on the Jared and Dean Words Cause Radio Show, but we can't help but chime in about political issues from time-to-time. Seeing as how the current bank crisis does have a significant impact on business, I had to chime in on the political aspect of things.

Let's take a quick stroll back in time. Just over a month ago, George W. Bush was saying that the economy was strong. He was even talking about economic growth! Somehow, the largest sub-prime lender in the country failed in just one month. I'm not sure how it could have happened, but Bush couldn't have been wrong about the economy, could he?

Fast forward to just last week. Bush tells us we are in the midst of a financial crisis that needs government intervention. He was completely wrong about the economy a little over a month ago. What should we listen to him now? We don't need more government spending. ALL government spending is tax payer money. It's not like the government is out selling widgets. They get their money from taxes.

A government bailout is not what is needed. What the market needs is a good ol' dose of free market buyouts. For example, not too long ago JP Morgan Chase offered $30 billion for WAMU. They got turned down. Just last week, JP purchased WAMU for a paltry $1.5 billion. Let the banks that didn't play funny money buyout all the banks that played the slot machine. Give them the reward. There are plenty of sound banks in America that can easily gobble up the idiots, especially if the federal government rewards them for saving the banking industry.

Got Overtime? - Sep 30,2008

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 22:02:01 GMT

Overtime

What you don't know could cost you! Whether you are a business owner or an employee, you need to have a basic understanding of employment law. Michael Tracy, one of the foremost experts on California labor law, joins Jared and Dean on the Words Cause Radio Show here on BlogTalkRadio.com this Saturday at 10AM.

We are talking about overtime here. We've all worked overtime, and many (if not MOST) of us never got paid for that overtime. Many of us believe that getting paid a salary means that we don't get overtime... WRONG! Many of us believe that because we are a manager that we don't get overtime... WRONG!

Employers should be paying the most attention to this show. Your company may be open to substantial financial liability because you don't classify your employees correctly. Any NO company is exempt from this law. Giant companies like Oracle, Microsoft, and dozens of others have been sued for millions of dollars. Smaller companies have lost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars from unpaid overtime wages!

Got Overtime? is a website operated by the Michael Tracy Law Firm. It is designed to educate employees and employers about employment law, particularly California employment law. Michael Tracy has been successfully helping both sides of employment with following the law and making sure everyone is treated fairly.

Listen in this Saturday morning to get some great advice on making sure you get the wages you deserve as an employee and to make sure you don't dig your company's grave with bad employment practices.
