SCOTT R. FREERKSEN Co-Founder | Chief Executive Officer Scott dedicated the first 17 years of his career in a variety of New England high-tech corporate management positions. This experience in engineering, personnel, documentation, and finance created the foundation for his future entrepreneurial roles. Scott started Lakefront Living Realty in 2009 with only the state of Massachusetts represented on LakefrontLiving.com. The site quickly became the one-stop-shop for consumers looking to learn the full details of area lakes, find direct lakefront properties quickly, and connect with local lakefront specialty agents.

As the number of visitors magnified, so did the need for more lakes. New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut were soon added. With a territory this large, Scott set up systems to run the business, and a teams of specialty agents to run the systems. His role quickly evolved to working “on” the business and not “in” it…learning he could multiply his business revenue while drastically reducing his time involved.

This proven model soon caught the eye of his future business partner, Christine Mosier, and in 2014, the two entrepreneurs founded Lakefront Living International, LLC, a national real estate franchise company dedicated to providing this unique business model to agents who share their passion for the lakefront lifestyle. Scott and Chris refer to franchisees as “partners”, as that better describes their relationship.

Scott, his wife Linda, and daughter Sydney, live in a log home on Bungay Lake in Massachusetts. They are avid boaters and enjoy everything the lakefront lifestyle has to offer.





CHRISTINE A. MOSIER Co-Founder | Chief Operations Officer Chris has been selling real estate since 2003. She started out at a large national real estate chain working with seasoned agents and learning from the best. As her business grew, she and her husband purchased a lakefront home in Apple Valley, Ohio, as a “neutral” blending ground for their three children. It was there that her love of lakefront living took root and her dream of a career focusing exclusively on lakefront property was born.

As “Central Ohio’s Lakefront Specialist”, Chris could frequently be found ‘boating’ clients around the lake. With the help of her dedicated team of professionals, she soon expanded her Brokerage across the entire state of Ohio. Together, Chris and her team were consistently able to break sales records as they received honors awarded to onl

Tom Branch has been in private practice since 1980, after graduating from the University of Georgia School of Law. He received his undergraduate degree from Emory University in 1975, graduating with High Honors. Tom is also a member of the American and Atlanta Bar Associations, as well as the State Bar of Georgia. He is a member of the American Bar Association Forum on Franchising. He was a co-founder of the Southeast Franchise Forum and the Atlanta Bar Association Franchise Law Committee. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Bar Association and served as a Board Member and as Chairman of the Board of the Atlanta Bar Association Sole Practitioner and Small Firm Section. He was the author of “Franchising in Georgia,” in the Georgia State Bar Journal, November, 1987.
Tom is a trusted legal advisor to a diverse range of clients in the franchise community, including franchisors, franchisees and those who are considering a franchise and would like to understand the Franchise Disclosure Document and receive legal counsel before signing a franchise agreement.
Interview Topics:
*Overview of Franchise Regulation in the US?
*Franchise Disclosure Document
*Litigation in the franchise area - types of claims
*Trends in businesses being franchised
*Challenges for franchisors and franchisees.
The value of working with a Franchise Attorney?
A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract that you are entering into and franchise law is specialized. I had one franchisor share with me that an attorney claimed they understood franchise law and then tried to rewrite the state requirements for that industry (Senior Care), which cost the prospective franchisee an arm and a leg.
Be wise, get an experienced franchise attorney, such as Tom Branch to review and explain the documents and the obligations as a franchisee and to let you know if there are any concerns or clauses that need to be balanced.

Two Sides of the Business Equation

The Future of Public Transportation is Here Now!
Transportation is a personal issue shared by us all. To get around, shop, commute, get to the airport, we use a combination of cars, buses, trains, however, all have their share of drawbacks from wasted time in traffic, pollution, and 30%-50% of urban land is dedicated just for transportation.
Transit X builds and operates privately financed public transit podways that can transform cities and metropolitan areas to be green and walkable.
A podway is an automated transit network with the convenience, capacity, and cost to replace cars, buses, trains, trucks, ferries, and short flights. Transit X is the silver bullet for transportation.
Our guest, Mike Stanley, Founder of Transit X will enlighten us how ‘podways’ can safely provide the convenience and privacy we have in our cars, the high capacity achieved with buses and trains, the time compression from planes and is as sustainable to our environment as bicycles.

ABC Shark Tank Star Barbara Corcoran on Georgia Business Radio
“Shark Tank” Co-Host and entrepreneur Barbara Corcoran is teaming up with Catherine Hernandez-Blades of Aflac to examine some important ways that small businesses especially businesses owned by women and consumers can stretch their dollars and stay competitive in the marketplace. They’ll also share information about new Aflac small-business solutions designed to help ease the burden of benefits administrators.

Barbara Corcoran | Catherine Hernandez-Blades



Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1000 loan to start The Corcoran Group.

As one of the “Sharks” on ABC’s hit TV show, SHARK TANK, Barbara has ponied up her own money and invested in twenty-two businesses, competing to make those deals for all to see, then shepherding them to success.

Her newest book, SHARK TALES, takes you behind the scenes of her life and business and her ‘seen on TV’ venture capitalism. Barbara is famously brash and blunt, bold and courageous, and a brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent (often invisible to others).

Shark Tales
How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business

The inspiring true story of Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran--and her best advice for anyone starting a business. After failing at twenty-two jobs, Barbara Corcoran borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend, quit her job as a diner waitress, and started a tiny real estate office in New York City. Using the unconventional lessons she learned from her homemaker mom, she gradually built it into a $6 billion dollar business. Now Barbara's even more famous for the no-nonsense wisdom she offers to entrepreneurs on Shark Tank, ABC's hit reality TV show.

Shark Tales is down-to-earth, frank, and as heartwarming as it is smart. After reading it don't be surprised if you find yourself thinking, "If she can do it, so can I." Nothing would make Barbara happier.

 



About Catherine Hernandez-Blades:
Hernandez-Blades is SVP, chief brand and communications officer at Aflac, a company which has made the Ethisphere list of the World’s Most Ethical Companies list 12 times and counting.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE AFLAC SMALL BUSINESS HAPPINESS REPORT:

INSURANCE: 27% of employees would like more affordable health care coverage

FINANCES: 55% think the greatest challenge when working at a small business is financial (related to salary and health care expenses)

HAPPINESS: 87% think working at a small business is more fun than a large business

BARBARA – YOU TURNED A THOUSAND-DOLLAR LOAN INTO A BILLION-DOLLAR REAL ESTATE EMPIRE. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE LESSONS YOU’VE LEARNED ABOUT RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS?

CATHERINE – IT APPEARS SMALL BUSINESSES ARE IN A GOOD POSITION. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT SOME OF THE KEY FINDINGS FROM

Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews David Rubinger, Market President and Publisher of the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the leading commercial journal in Atlanta, GA and one of the most successful in the United States.

David is an award-winning journalist and corporate communications executive who returned to his roots at Atlanta Business Chronicle in 2015 to become its Market President and Publisher. He began his career in Atlanta as a reporter with the Atlanta Business Chronicle in 1989. He later served as managing editor and editor until joining the PR firm Ketchum in 1999. After Ketchum, David led global communications for Equifax, Inc. and later ran Rubinger, Inc., his own marketing firm based in Atlanta that ran media communications for RMA, Receivables Management Association for the credit and collections industry.

David is a native of New York City, and currently, he and his wife reside in Atlanta, GA.

Here is a glimpse of what David shared in the interview:

“My autobiography would talk about family and the ability to connect with people in the business community and broader communities and how those relationships and being surrounded by really smart, interesting people helped move me along in my career.”

“I feel like I am constantly getting an education from all the interesting people I get to run across.”

“Life is too precious. Really stay focused on what’s important in your life and keep driving in that direction and don’t take any of it for granted.”
