Calling all sports fans!
Tune into Cardinal Stritch University's Radio Lobo on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30pm and check out my friend Josh Albrecht's show, "Just Sports with Josh"!
It's been my pleasure to get to know Josh over the last few years through our affiliation with the Muskego chapter of the networking organization, BNI. Josh just transferred to Stritch not too long ago from another school, and is already making some serious headway with Stritch's radio station and Communications Dept. And being a company made up of all Stritch alumni (and I'm actually back at Stritch pursuing my master's degree!), it's our pleasure to give a shout out here to Stritch and its students!
This guy's definitely going places, so keep an eye on him, and tune in!
Radio Lobo's Web site
All the Best,
--Aaron Robertson, president, Intrepid Innovations Inc.

Richlonn's Tire and Service Center Muskego

Once in a while, I'll stand in as a sub for a member of the Muskego BNI group if the member can't make it to a meeting. I attended the meeting a couple days ago, and the featured speaker that day was Tim Marcado, Store Operations Manager at the Richlonn's Tire and Service Center here in Muskego.
Tim gave an excellent talk about tires - what to look for in a brand name and manufacturer, typical price ranges, materials and technology used in tires today, tire warranties, etc. Tim also dispelled a number of myths and commonly held assumptions about tires.
It's clear that Tim knows what he's doing and that he spends a lot of time conducting due diligence. I was impressed by his talk.
I also know from experience that Tim and his team do great work. A few months back, my parents were looking to have a new set of wheels installed on one of their vehicles.
Tim and his team did an excellent job at guiding my parents through the entire ordering and installation process - offering a number of great suggestions on designs and manufacturers, what to expect as far as cost, when to expect delivery, etc. My parents were really pleased with the level of expertise and customer service.

Muskego BNI Chapter
Following is the unedited version of an article Aaron S. Robertson authored for Muskego Patch in May 2011.
If you’re a business owner or working professional looking to network in Muskego, there are a number of available options open to you, options you may not be aware of. That’s where Muskego Patch comes in. What follows is the second installment in an occasional, ongoing series devoted to business networking opportunities here in Muskego.
Previously, we took a look at the St. Paul’s Business Builders Networking Group. Following is information on the Boundless Business BNI chapter.
Muskego BNI Chapter
Business Networking International - commonly known simply as BNI - is a networking organization with local chapters around the world, and one of those chapters, which calls itself “Boundless Business,” just happens to be right here in Muskego.
BNI Boundless Business meets every Thursday morning at Delta Family Restaurant, S75 W17358 Janesville Road.
Unlike the St. Paul’s Business Builders Networking Group, which was recently featured on Muskego Patch, BNI chapters restrict their membership to one person per occupation represented.
According to Jeff Hoeser of American Solutions for Business, who currently serves as the Muskego chapter’s president, there are currently around 30 members in the group.
There are also dues to belong: $365 per year, plus a $100 one-time sign-up fee.
But Hoeser assures that the dues, which are seen more as an investment, are well-worth it.
“Because of our BNI affiliation, we have access to a lot of valuable resources and trainings, which include workshops, seminars, and so on,” Hoeser said. “New members are required to attend a two-hour training, and new officers are required to attend a three-hour training. And for those interested, there are more-advanced trainings, books, CDs, and other materials available, as well,” he added.
In addition to the position of chapter president, other officer positions include a vice president, secretary-treasurer, and education coordinator. Officers change every six months, and the president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer get their dues covered during their term. There is also a four-member membership committee, which handles new member applications and welcomes guests.
While the attendance policy may seem strict to outsiders, BNI is unique in that it allows its members to have substitutes represent them in case they need to miss meetings, and the chapter maintains a pool of available subs that members can call upon if needed.
Asked why he joined BNI and why he recommends it to other business professionals, Hoeser said, “It’s a great opportunity to increase your own business and to develop a good network of trusted contacts. And while there are other networking groups and events out there that provide you with a venue to network, BNI largely focuses on teaching you how to network, and that’s important.”

A Big Thanks to These Businesses and Professionals
Howdy,
As many of you know, I am participating in the 2010 Man & Woman of the Year competition that raises funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The 10-week fundraising campaign kicked off on March 11th during a fantastic reception hosted by Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Brookfield, and will end on May 20th with a formal gala held at Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners.
Following is a list of businesses, organizations, and professionals that I'd like to publicly acknowledge for helping the cause. This list will be updated over time to reflect new commitments.
Please consider patronizing these businesses! They are truly deserving of it, as they have demonstrated time and time again that they care about their communities and meaningful causes such as this.
