Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (10/14/2011)

Week #2 at Wolfe Law Miami, P.A. was fantastic.  I have been busy working on a healthy mix of transactional and litigation work in the entertainment, music, sports, and even internet (drafting a website purchase agreement) world.  Dynasty is also in the process of signing its first soccer player.  Today, I am finally moving my residence from Fort Lauderdale to Miami.  I want to thank all the people who have been guest speakers thus far in the Sport Agency Management class I teach at Indiana University, so a big thanks to Josh Luchs, Gregg Clifton, Donald Dell, and Ben Sturner.  This coming week, Jeremy Bloom will be the guest speaker.  And the following week is Ralph Cindrich.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Basketball

Football
Tennis
College
And now, a testimonial: “I have used your services before in other sports related business I own.  Your professional approach to marketing has been one the key success factors in my industry and I appreciate all the work you’ve done!  Thanks so much!” Dan from Vancouver Painters

I’d rather not. I want the students to feel like they are getting good value for the money they spend.
