Jerry and Mike had the audience laughing while telling how Innis & Lotito, P.C. came to be and shared their interesting business techniques. Thank you to First State Bank for sponsoring the Secrets series and to the bank's Kathleen Zenisek for telling us a little about the bank and the importance of buying local. The snow was flying outside, but the dining area at Gowanie Golf Club was cozy with a fireplace and the breakfast was outstanding.
