Special Sports Spotlight: Giannis Antetokounmpo (courtesy of 60 minutes)

   Even casual sports fans know the names of the superstars in pro basketball. There is LeBron, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden. But there is one name you may not have heard, mainly because it takes courage and concentration to pronounce it.

 I'm talking about Giannis Antetokounmpo of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks. He is 23 years old, a hair under seven feet tall and there are 13 letters in his last name, most of them consonants, so he is usually referred to as Giannis or 'The Greek Freak.' He's called that because he is Greek and is doing things on a basketball court that people have never seen before.

 And even if you aren't a basketball fan you have to admire his athleticism and a personal story that is one of the most interesting in all of sports. If that sounds like hype, we offer into evidence exhibit number one. read more

                                                   

Special event review: Acces Employment Speed Mentory event

                     Wednesday May 17,2017


                    It was evening that I will never forget.

                   I have been attending the Acces Employment event as a mentor for the past 5 years. It has been amazing experience to listen and learn from professional and entrepreneur who have aspirations to start their own buisiness in the near future

                On this night I was ready to listen and offer my advice to participants sitting across from me  As the night went on I heard ideas, potential business products and even some potential business partnerships!

               Nothing really impressive that would make my night. It was until the last mentee sat infront of me.

                When I look at him at first he looked like a biker that had just got out of prison!

              Was I way wrong, His name was Niche who had arrived from Greece earlier in the year. I started to really excited ( I am of Greek descent)

                He present me with a business plan, logo and monetary funds he had secured from government agencies and friends. Close to 90K

                    This was the WOW moment of the night!  I got up and hugged him. Everyone in the room look astonished and confused.

                    I said "This is what Greek do when they meet!"

                   The entire room laughed

                     It was great way to end the evening to see that he done his homework and was ready to execute his plan.
   
                      Fast forward to January 2018.

                    He has secured a place in the Queen and Dufferin area and is scheduled to open in mid February 2018.
     
                     Stay tuned...
