Question of the day: What was your first business or first job? 

2:44  Dennis Gilfoyle, JA Western PA, CEO:  who is bursting with pride for visitors to walk through the doors of BizTownPGH.  He has aligned his non-profit with Clearview Savings Credit Union and Bank, Mascaro, Vector Security and more to show how a town is affected by the teachings of Junior Achievement.  He shares stories from visits elsewhere while developing the Pittsburgh edition and admits that the appeal is an inspiration based on multiple other BizTowns. But what’s this about night crawlers? 

 

18:50  Corey O’Connor (Pittsburgh City Council)   Not only does Councilman O’Connor reflect on his days as a Junior Achievement instructor while studying at Duquesne University, he fills us in on the student perks through Pittsburgh Public Schools and City Council.  They get to ask for changes in the city as well! He appreciates JA and stands in awe of the students responsible for running the town. 

 

31:49  Jenna, First President of Vector Security, JA Biztown PGH: This little lady is a basketball player who loves math and cannot wait to get her hands on working for her fellow citizens of BizTown.  She accepts the challenge as the first lady of BizTown and admits her organizational and mathematical skills will get her through. After a few J name shout outs, delivered with perfect poise, it is no doubt that politics could be calling her name.  

 

36:30 Comedian Joey Welsh: With a spin on all things business, we welcomed the comedian to lighten the business day with his quirky stories about being married and a fireman.  He gives a glimpse of open mics in the Pittsburgh area with a focus on real life happenings and their humor.  He will be with Ray Zawodni and Collin Chamberlin THIS Thursday at the Improv.
