From debunking the myths of credit cards to finding ways to cultivate rainwater, this was one informative and Unique show.

 We began the show talking sbout SoCon ' 07 (www.socon07.com) - an un-conference Lee atteneded on the 10th of February.  What an amazing assortment of over 200 bloggers, social networkers and online communicators, all seeking to best utilize Web 2.0.  Lee shared his insights and takeaways with you, and we found were invited to speak at www.podcampatlanta.com in March, the 16th-18th.  In fact, the organizers of the show will be with us on March 10th.

 Next up was Fritz Scheffel with www.trustoneps.com.  Fritz has been doing credit card processing for awhile now and has seen the industry really progress.  Tune in for the scoop on new credit card processing machines, new technologies for credit processing and charges to watch out for on your credit card bill.  Fritz also tells us why the "best rate" should really never be the manner in which you judge a credit card processing company's worth.  Contact Fritz at 770 500 0406 for a free estimate on if he can save you monthly money.  (editor note - our bet is he can, as he has proven very helpful for some of our listeners already - thanks Fritz!)

 As our Unique of the Week - we had Cloud Conrad with www.gardentheplanet.com - what an amazing compliment to and continuation of our January 20th show.  Cloud spoke extensively about irrigation, how gorgeous lawns cost the environment, how to cure that issue - how to cultivate rainwater aesthtically - and why rooftop gardens are both beautiful and beneficial.  Tune in to hear more from Cloud.  She can help you understand how the green approach makes sense, and how you can do it without breaking the bank.  Developers take note - Cloud also does corporate work - and can assist on large scale projects as well.

Guest Co-Host Dr. Katrina and I examined a few more good tips before launching into this special edition of Uniqueness is Power, with dual-Unique of the Weeks.

Imagine owning an online travel agency.  Imagine being able to profit from other people's travels.  Imagine owning a small business in a 7 trillion dollar industry.  Now finish imagining and listen to the segment of the show for YTB, with Doug Bauknight.  Helping everyone, from non-profits to recently disabled vets, with a way to make money - this company is doing things right.  Go to www.travelwithbabyboomers.com to see what deals you can score.  Or go to www.justpictureitnow.com to find out about how to open your own agency online.  As you"ll hear in this fantastic interview, Doug enjoys his job, his life and helping others get a taste of this new opportunity.

Matt Banhan has similar goals - helping people.  As founder and CEO of Accounts International. Matt is intent on helping CPA's and small businesses handle accounting and taxes - as an overflow valve for CPA's and as an outsource for small businesses.  With a unique structure, which taps a highly qualified and economical base of accountants in Cairo, Egypt, Matt and his Alexandria VA based partner Eric Williams have created a very cost-efficient process (what you might expect from accountants, yes?) - where they can provide services at or above expectations, but for a far greater value to those they serve.  Check in with them today to find out more.
