This show covers a lot of territory in 45 short minutes. Ken Cook, Brian Parker and Tommy Russo explore in some depth the growing trend of “sequestering” by manufacturers as one more way for them to stay viable and for that matter profitable, too!

Another topic that took up some of the show’s real estate was whether or not investing in Facebook stocks would prove to be, both short and long term, a good investment. As a sidebar to the Facebook discussion the three hosts shared their observations on whether advertisers, using social media, were keeping their messages on point or going way overboard, providing their target markets with way too much useless information.

Finally, the trio all seemed to agree on that higher education, in this country, is long overdue for an overhaul. Tom, Ken & Brian all concur that colleges need to do a better job of preparing their students for the 21st Century’s work force. Open for Business #44 – worth a listen if you’re looking to learn something and have a few laughs while you do it.
