We had a fantastic time in-studio today chatting with two terrific Atlanta-based businesses. Amy Pedersen of Slimpressions talked about some of the unexpected highs of entrepreneurship and how she and her sister-in-law built their business — selling slimming shapewear to women — completely from the ground up from manufacturing to distribution and marketing.

Michael Tavani introduced us to ScoutMob, a local web business featuring one incredible discount every day and talked talked about their innovative model for promoting local businesses via web, email, text message and iPhone. ATLians should definitely visit the web site and sign up for the daily updates.

More details will be available soon, but be sure to mark your calendars for February 18th when Erik and Stephanie will be doing a book signing and presentation at Strongbox West.
