business owner close his doors last week, and part of the problem we think people have is they think because they build it, people will come. People are so accustomed to the old way of doing business also. You have to be willing to learn new things, get out of your comfort zone, and if you don't have a million dollars to help your customer get to know you through a commercial campaign, one inexpensive way to get to know your clients is networking."

Thosefellas LLC's events aren't just talk; they've gotten real results for the people who live and work in the city.

"We've had several people report back to us that they have garnered new business, learned of new resources, grown personally," he said. "We have no doubt that we are making a difference. We see other organizations changing because of some of the things that we do."
