MARKEL TALKS ON RADIO TALK SHOW

Tom Markel, CEO and founder of iBank.com, was a guest on Jim Blasingame’s national radio show Tuesday morning (Oct. 30, 2007) and answered questions from Blasingame about small business and trying to get a loan.

Blasingame is the creator and award-winning host of the Small Business Advocate Show, the world's only weekday talk show dedicated to small business. Blasingame, who’s been on the air for almost 10 years, conducts more than 1,000 live interviews annually with his “Brain Trust,” the world's largest community of small business experts. The radio show is carried over 40 radio affiliates and on the internet.

“I make it a point to only have guests on that are relevant and can help our audience,” Blasingame said. “Tom’s experience and knowledge fits in that category.”

Blasingame is also a syndicated columnist and the author of “Small Business is Like a Bunch of Bananas,” which has sold over 30,000 copies, and “Three Minutes to Success.” In addition to being recognized by the Small Business Association as the 2002 Small Business Journalist of the Year, Blasingame was also named by Fortune Magazine as one of the 30 most influential people in America representing small business interest.

Markel’s radio interview follows his appearance last week at USC’s Marshall School of Business, where he spoke to a packed audience about his experiences as an entrepreneur.
