Ty Pennington and Amanda Brinkman Talk Small Businesses, Big Dreams
Ty Pennington and Amanda Brinkman, hosts of "Small Business Revolution - Main Street," discuss the upcoming third season of the show. As of now, there are five cities in the running to be featured in the next season.
Brinkman talks about the positive impact of small businesses on small-town economies. She says the goal of the show is to grow these communities through small business investment. We talk with Pennington about his new role on the show and how it compares to his popular hosting gig on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Much like all the upheaval shaking the world, the huge swings rocking Wall Street may feel far from normal. But, for investing at least, this is normal.
Joe Cecela, Dream Exchange CEO, explains how they are aiming to form the first minority-controlled company to operate an exchange in U.S. history. Watch!
A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
