Being an audio engineer, I am fortunate to live somewhat close (2 hours) to one of the greatest audio gear companies in the country.  Sweetwater in Fort Wayne, Indiana has been my go-to resource for everything from XLR cables to studio monitors, and boom stands to digital interfaces.  My sales engineer has been great in assisting me with purchases, helping me meet my needs and ensuring I’m getting the best price possible.  Not only do they sell new and used audio gear, instruments, and more, but they also have professional …

Art & Music Do Exist In Plymouth, Indiana

For those of you that live in smaller towns or cities, it can be frustrating to drive to the “big city” on a regular basis just to see shows. Take, for example, Plymouth, Indiana. This is a place with a lot of culture, history, and character. The people are business owners, artists, musicians, animal lovers, and sports enthusiasts.

Networking-Not Just In Your Industry (pt 8)

Week eight of the Networking series. This week I’m writing about a Northwest Indiana general contractor. A lot of people probably don’t think that social media is of much use to a builder, construction company, or an architect.  Jeff Eriks, on the other hand, thinks differently.  He believes in and practices the art of social media.  By using Twitter and Facebook along with the companies multiple websites, he is able to let people know what they’re doing as a company.  This also allows customers and potential clients to give feedback …
