 Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scato-Gattaya of JSA here at the Channel Partners Evolution in the Chorus Communications Lounge. And we couldn't be here without absolutely talking to the man of the hour, Mr. Robert Malanaro. He is the VPN co-founder, of course, of Chorus Communications. Rob, welcome to JSA TV. Thanks, Jamie. Glad to be here. And what an event and Chorus everywhere. The Carriers Ball last night, truly exciting. You guys certainly know how to throw a good party. Well, it's part of our fiber. So yeah, it was a successful event and we had an amazing amount of people there. So for our viewers who may not already know, tell us about Chorus, particularly your incubator program. OK, the incubator program. So that was kind of an idea that would stem from entrepreneurs, right? What we like to do, Chorus is a group of entrepreneurs, right? That's where, how we started. We want to improve upon that. So we want to take the elite partners that we have out there that are willing to kind of go out there and take a little bit of a chance on themselves and give them the money, the fiscal support, and everything else that comes with Chorus is being a partner with Chorus to build their own empire. So it's an entrepreneurial incubator program and we're all about it. Oh, I love it and for sure. And I think the Philadelphia Business Magazine was there as well yesterday. And it is a Philly story, but it's also a national global story. I mean, you guys are really empowering so many entrepreneurs to go out there and, like you said, build their own empire. So amazing, congratulations on that. And one thing, again, that I really respect from the Chorus team here is that you really are invested in building a community. You do, like we said, the carries ball last night, but there's also here of the dog, which is very famous and popular, but tell us a little bit about some events that we should see coming up. OK, so we have, and this is all orchestrated by our director of marketing, Buffy Herakitas, we have about six stand-up events per year. So coming up towards the fourth quarter, we're all prepping now, now that the carry bowl's out of the way, for the hair of the dog, which is our flagship event, and it's run by our sister company called Metrospect Events. Hair of the Dog came about as a way for us to recruit salespeople when Chorus was in its infancy back in 1995. So Hair of the Dog is coming in around January 17th. It's always a Saturday night. And from there, our next event will be the Hushu in technology, which will be in the spring. So we might, you know, sprinkle in a few, you know, events in between. There's some smaller boutique events, but we're always looking to add some static events to our calendar of events throughout the year. So look for more and exciting things as they start to materialize. Yeah, we enjoy them. So we love what you do and you do it well. You also were taking a very active role in supporting women's growth in our industry. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? Obviously something near and dear to my heart. Absolutely. So of course, one of our two leaders in the company, our Amy Service, Director of Sales, and Buffy Haricades, Director of Marketing, they've just been honored through one of the local magazines here in Philadelphia as women, you know, with a purpose here in this community. So women in the channel is something that we've always been interested in. In fact, one of our partners on SIPT got us involved and we took it and the girls just ran with it. So we're happy to be a part of that community and elevate that presence within the women's community and business. Well, we'd love to see that and for sure, Buffy and Amy are forces to be reckoned with in this industry. If you don't know them, make sure you do. They're amazing. It's a lot of energy in one small package. Exactly. So looking into your crystal ball, we talked about here with the dog come January 2019. What else can we expect from you guys? Well, we're going to continue on that mission to take this vein of the entrepreneurial incubator and really take it to the next level. In my mind and Dan's mind, my business partner, I'm going to say that we would like to have a minimum of a dozen incubators going in 2019. Right now we have about a handful of them and they're all successful. And by the way, not everybody qualifies for that. You have to really be an industry champion and have a history in this industry before we even consider that. So come to us with a game plan and we have the money and the resources to back you. That's going to be our 2019 goal. We're going to go in and sail that ship in that direction. Rob, Danny, Buffy, Amy, all forces to be reckoned with. The whole CARS team, we are honored to be partners with you and honored to put the good word out. Guys, if you want to learn more, particularly about those incubator programs and their women and channel partnerships, where can they go? Well, they can come right to us at the office, any one of our executive teams. And Buffy, myself, Amy, just reach out to us, get on our website, CARScommunications.com, and give us a call.
