ENT 601 SME interview with Robert Brueckman, Annapolis Maryland

The interview was created using ZOOM which worked so very easily to produce a MP4 file. The entire presentation is just under 45 minutes long. Unfortunately there were a few times within the recording where I did not seem to be successful in creating a video file. Video does appear at least 98% of the time.

Shelly Sun founded BrightStar Healthcare in the early 2000’s due to an unfortunate situation with a family member.

She has testified before Congress and the Senate, she has been the chairman of the International Franchise Association, she has gone undercover on the TV show Undercover Boss, and she has visited with President Trump when he signed improved legislation for the Department of Labor as it relates to Joint Employer, an action meant to ensure that Franchisors are not the same as Franchisees and how they are treated by the IRS regarding employment labor.  Please enjoy this 42 minute video/audio presentation.
