September Executive Roundtable: Buyers Market Day
Are escalating crime rates violently reshaping Atlanta’s housing market?
Hold onto your keys, Atlanta. While city leaders tout a 26% drop in homicides and an 8% overall decrease in crime through July 2025, the fine print tells a different story. Robberies have surged by 36%, and aggravated assaults climbed 20%. This statistic should make potential homebuyers think twice.
As Dr. Thaddeus Johnson, criminology professor at Georgia State University, points out, “The increase in these violent confrontations is concerning and could impact perceptions of safety in neighborhoods.”
So, if you're eyeing that fixer-upper in a trendy “up and coming” neighborhood, maybe purchase a Ring camera… and a second opinion.

October Executive Roundtable: SEO Day
Are organic results still fair game, or is visibility just for those with the biggest ad budget?
Welcome to 2025, where SEO is basically a game of Monopoly - only the wealthy always pass Go. Organic search still exists, technically, but Google’s top spots are dominated by paid ads, leaving smaller businesses looking for crumbs on Google’s bottom floor.
The real question: is organic strategy still a viable long-term play, or are we all just throwing spaghetti at an algorithm and hoping something sticks?

November Executive Roundtable: Financial Advisor Day
Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: What It Means for Your Business
Congratulations, small business owners, your tax cliff just turned into a tax trampoline! President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill has made several key perks from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent. That means:
20% Qualified Business Income deduction for pass-through entities.
100% bonus depreciation for new capital investments.
Higher limits on interest deductibility.
Plus, the state and local tax deduction cap has been raised from $10K to $40K per year for those earning under $500K.
In short, some long-term tax relief is finally here to support small businesses.
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The bill also introduces new tariffs on imported goods, which are expected to increase costs for small businesses that rely on foreign suppliers. These tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers and potential disruptions in supply chains.
So, while your tax burden may have lightened, your cost of doing business could be about to rise. It's a classic case of "win some, lose some.” Meanwhile, your accountant is somewhere popping champagne over a mountainous stack of paperwork.

December Executive Roundtable: Healthcare Day
Has Healthcare Fat-Shamed America Into Dangerous Drug Use?
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro are suddenly the talk of every brunch table. You probably assume the discussion revolves around controlling diabetes, but instead, society has turned celebrity weight-loss dreams into a trend. Shocking, right?!
While these drugs are approved for people with obesity or related conditions, off-label use is skyrocketing, fueled by the constant social media hype and societal pressure. Doctors are warning us about side effects ranging from nausea to more serious complications. Yet, somehow, the idea of injectable magic is more tempting than logic. Again, shocking, right?! Our healthcare experts will break down the hype, the risks, and what you need to know.
Mark your calendar for December 2nd at 8:30. Don’t follow the trend blindly. Join the conversation and hear the full story.
