Jim Blasingame addresses Dallas Fed

Jim Blasingame, the Small Business Advocate, speaks to a group of small business owners at the Dallas Federal Reserve about entrepreneurship.

The 20th century was the century of the major corporation. But according to nationally syndicated radio/Internet talk show host, and small business expert, Jim Blasingame, the 21st century belongs to entrepreneurs and their employees.

Thats the topic of the luncheon speech Blasingame will deliver to an invited audience of small business owners and members of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas on Thursday, May 1st. Robert McTeer, President of the Dallas Fed, is hosting Blasingames presentation, which places special emphasis on how to create an entrepreneurial organization by first growing entrepreneurial employees.

The award-winning creator of The Small Business Advocate Show, Blasingame is also a best selling author and syndicated columnist who devotes his professional life to speaking and writing about small business issues, opportunities and challenges. His talk show is the only weekday radio/Internet program in the world thats dedicated to small business.

According to McTeer, "I have come to know Jim not only as a tireless advocate for small business owners, who are collectively responsible for over half of the U.S. annual $10 trillion GDP, but also as a unique resource for the larger marketplace, as well."

Blasingame was recently recognized as a 2003 member of TALKERS Magazines Heavy Hundred, the 100 most important talk show hosts in America, and the SBA recognized him as the 2002 Small Business Journalist of the Year.
