The Authorities on the Houston Business Show this Week

On this week's Houston Business Show (today at 1 PM on CNN 650)I interviewed Richard Sonnier, our IT expert from Nimble Services; Sam Morris, representing the Bank of Houston; and Mike Alexander, our Insurance expert from ABM Insurance.

Richard (photo, top) discussed some of the major innovations going on in the ever changing world of the Internet. Specifically he reviewed a new program developed by Yahoo to counter Microsoft Office.

Sam Morris (photo, middle) discussed the commitment to community banking that is pervasive at the Bank of Houston and how that has contributed to the institution's rapid growth (from $20 million in assets when it started two years ago this month, to almost $200 million today). Also, Sam is a graduate of Northwood University, which is one of my favorite schools in the country because of its commitment to free market economics. That certainly made the interview more enjoyable.

Finally, Mike Alexander (photo, bottom) discussed the looming deadline facing seniors when it comes to making changes in their Medicare Supplement program. The cost and inconvenience could be serious if individuals fail to make changes by the deadline at the end of March.
