William DeBilzan, CEO of DeBilzan Studios
William DeBilzan is an extremely innovative Abstract Expressionist whose presence creates waves in the art community. It is no mystery that the hardest challenge for any painter is the ability to connect with his or her audience. DeBilzan achieves this connection intuitively and with a rare mastery. People of all ages are at home in the presence of DeBilzan's color and mood. In a sense, those who are drawn into DeBilzan's work feel as if the painting was created solely for them, which often is the truth given the large number of commissions he receives. The unique style of William DeBilzan's paintings relies heavily on his thoughtful composition and masterful use of color. The compositions themselves, on their literal surface, are at first complex given the wide variety of rich textures. However, the juxtaposition of simplistic figurative elements serves to provide the viewer with an effortless, yet refined resolution. The straightforwardness used by DeBilzan in his compositions is even more apparent in his choice of color. His palette varies in its mood from warm, subtle distinctions to cool, higher contrast shades reminiscent of the Caribbean. The reds, yellows, greens and blues communicate a sense of innocence in purity while remaining bold and unashamed. The most distinguishing feature of DeBilzan's work is his figures. They stand tall and thin and speak to the viewer with a relief that is in stark contrast to their surrounding textures. Their presence in his paintings suggests the idea that life is far simpler than we make it. Alone or in groups, the anonymous individuals communicate a sense love, belonging or longing to belong. The ability for DeBilzan to connect with almost anybody through the use of an image is proof of his success. Accordingly, his work has been included in many popular television shows, such as Frasier, Just Shoot Me, and Spin City. He has been the obvious choice for such sitcoms because of his work's coherent ability to connect with any member of the audience in some way. DeBilzan's constant creative work ethic and his extremely attractive paintings and sculptures have made him one of the most sought out artists of our time.To learn more about William DeBilzan, go to williamdebilzan.com

The Most Powerful Social Medium Imaginable |
OC Talk Radio was created by a group of traditional marketers who realized that marketing is no longer a one way street. You can't just put up a billboard and hope people buy anymore. The Internet has changed all that. Just as highways long ago bypassed regular streets and opened up new arteries for commerce to flow, so too has the "information super highway" found a way to "cut thru the clutter" of traditional advertising and open up a direct dialog with your community. Need to find someone who imports Indian beer? No problem. Go online and instantly see who sells Golden Eagle lager.
The Internet is all about "target marketing". It's about finding your "niche" and telling people about it. Yet one of the best ways to carry on this conversation with your community of clients, customers, and potential prospects has yet to be fully explored: INTERNET RADIO. For while its adoption by the general public is growing by leas and bounds (SEE DEMOGRAPHICS) few people know how easy it is to actually host your own radio show on this revolutionary new "social medium" or what its benefits can be.
But the Internet doesn't just connect people with information anymore. It can connect people to each other. That's the promise of Social Media and the whole Web 2.0. It allows you to carry on a direct conversation with your customers and community.
But what do you say? How do you create enough interesting content to fill up your Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts on a weekly basis, to say nothing about your daily blogs and monthly newsletters? That's where Internet Radio can help as well, for it gives you something new and interesting to say each week to your audience to capture their attention and hold their interest long enough to show them what you're offering and why it's so special.
It also instantly sets you apart from the rest of your competitors, for who else hosts a radio show on your topic? You instantly become "the expert" in your area. And by capturing each broadcast and recording them as "podcasts" for download later, you add valuable "rich media" to your site that brings traffic and raises you Search Engine rankings at the same time.
It's all in what you make of it. You may find that no one is listening to your shows or your weekly message. But the crazy thing is that it STILL may be worth your time and investment to keep broadcasting, for in addition to raising your rankings, emphasizng your "expertise" and enticing potential customers to carry on a conversation with you over the Internet, hosting your own Internet Radio show is probably the most powerful networking and prospecting tool you can ever imagine. Want to meet someone but you can't get past the front door? Try calling them up and asking them to be a guest on your radio show! Who could refuse an invitation like that?

Ray Parsons, Founder and CEO
Ray Parsons is responsible for leading Transcepta's company strategy. He has led technology organizations for over 20 years including successfully building and selling a software company (Unisolve) to Microsoft. After selling Unisolve in 2001, Ray became the General Manager for Microsoft's worldwide Supply Chain Management initiative. Ray also served as the General Manager for the Microsoft Business Network, a research effort targeted at identifying ways that companies could simplify their electronic document exchange. Studies have shown that even the most automated Accounts Payable departments do not achieve maximum productivity if they are processing paper.
Imagine a hypothetical corporation, Johnson Company, which uses a scanning and OCR solution to process supplier invoices that are sent and received exclusively in paper. Johnson Company has invested in a leading A/P Automation system that automates routing, workflow, and approvals. Johnson Company will have better productivity than other firms in its industry because of its A/P automation investment. However, if Johnson Company converts enough of its suppliers so that 50% of the invoices are sent and received electronically, Johnson Company's Accounts Payable department will increase productivity by nearly three times.
The key learning? Paper is the root of lower productivity! Companies must convert suppliers to send invoices electronically if they want to be productive. Learn how Transcepta helps you do it.

Stephen Pixley, President of AUTOCRIB
In 1994, as President of an industrial distributor, Steve saw a need for manufacturing companies to control their indirect materials. In most cases, they had poor systems to track who was taking what. He also knew that a lot of time was spent looking for items that a worker needed to do his job. Steve set out to find a way to help companies control and deliver the tools and supplies that workers needed, where they were needed. He literally built the first industrial vending machines in his garage. Since then, AutoCrib, Inc. has provided over 5,000 automated inventory control systems for manufacturing companies worldwide. AutoCrib's mission is to help companies ensure secure access to the right item, ant the right places, at the right time while driving out waste and excess costs. Plants throughout the world have adopted AutoCrib systems as part of their best practices through "lean" and Six Sigma initiatives because of the significant cost savings and productivity improvements the systems consistently deliver. The product live has evolved from the basic concept of "tool vending" into a wide variety of systems that assist companies in controlling tooling, gauges, safety & MRO supplies as well as other "indirect materials". Thinking lean has helped AutoCrib be quick to develop the widest breadth of point-of-use dispensing technology designed specifically for industry as well as the finest tool crib & stores inventory management software available.
