High Talent Creatives (The HTC Group)

For 10 years I have been highlighting great business pioneers in monthly High Talent Creative meetings in SW Connecticut. From Sobe to Edgar Online to Boardroom to Exposures - all fascinating success stories with some challenges and ups and downs along the way. We recently met in April with Will Haughy who launched Tegu (www.tegu.com) with his brother - a magnetic wooden block system that was profiled on the Today Show in Jan. The only problem was that due to some unexpected challenges in Honduras (2 presidents among others) they only received their first product shipments in April.
Maud Purcell (www.thelifesolutioncenter.net) shared the story of her new center in June which brings together a range of professionals to help families and professionals by providing professional services (nutrition; counseling, coaching, legal, health etc.) all in one place. A new idea where professionals tag team clients and work closely together out of the same center.
Next week Bonnie Marcus (www.bonniemarcus), who has created a multi-million dollar stationary business and recently licensed some of her unique designs, will meet with the HTC group. She has accomplished all this since 2002 while raising 3 children who are all under 6. Inspiring!
