The ladies welcome Stuart Foreman to the studio. Stuart is an old friend of Ashley’s but most impressively, as if that’s not enough, a local entrepreneur with a ton of advice for you. Stuart talks about how he has steadily and successfully grown his welding business, how he’s moving into acquisitions for future growth potential and the lameness of people trying to pull one over on you in business. Stuart also tells the heartwarming story of how he recently acquired his late father’s first sportfishing boat. Al’s Gal is currently turning heads and turning profits for Stuart in the Outer Banks. Man, this guy really does have the Midas touch.
