Sharing...

This Memorial Day, the names of the 820 Orange County men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation will be read aloud at the Orange County Veterans Memorial in the City of Newburgh.

The ceremony will take place on Monday, May 25 at 3:00 PM at Leroy Place between Grand Avenue and Liberty Street, Town of Newburgh, NY 12550.

Reading these names matters. It reminds us that freedom is not abstract, history is not distant, and sacrifice was carried by real people with families, dreams, fears, and futures. To speak their names aloud is to ensure they are not reduced to numbers, forgotten by time, or lost beneath the noise of everyday life.

These names represent those lost during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the post-9/11 era. Their sacrifice deserves to be remembered, spoken, and honored.

This event is open to the public. Parking is available along Balmville Road.

Something new is coming this August from Analyze This LLC.

It is time to **meet the business** behind the brand, the person behind the pitch, and the story behind the storefront.

This new podcast will feature conversations with business owners, founders, creators, and community-centered leaders who are doing more than operating a company. They are building trust, shaping local culture, solving real problems, and leaving fingerprints on the communities they serve.

The first outreach will begin in the Hudson Valley, then expand across North America and beyond to spotlight businesses with strong community rapport, meaningful stories, and the kind of grit that does not always fit neatly into a business plan.

No stiff scripts.
No corporate fog machine.
No pretending success appeared overnight.

Just real conversations with the humans behind the work.

Coming August 2026.

Some childhood movies did not simply entertain us.

They entered the room quietly, sat beside us on the couch, and rewired our trust in furniture, strangers, mirrors, candy, horses, owls, castles, and adults with unusually polished manners.

My newest blog, “22 Youth Flicks That Psychological Traumatized Us,” takes a funny, thoughtful, and slightly haunted look at the films that scared us, shaped us, humbled us, and somehow became part of our emotional architecture.

From The NeverEnding Story to Return to Oz to W***y Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, these were not just “kids’ movies.” They were tiny cinematic stress tests with theme music.

Want to keep your business alive, but don’t have anyone to pass it down to?

Most companies don’t collapse—they fade out at the leadership level. Profitable. Operational. Relevant. But no clear successor, no transition strategy, no continuity plan. So the owner exits… and the business follows shortly after.

Now look at it differently:

Across every market, there are businesses sitting in that exact position—stable, valuable, and quietly approaching a dead end. For the right leader, that’s not a risk. It’s leverage.

The opportunity isn’t just acquisition.
It’s preservation with control—stepping into something proven, aligning it correctly, and scaling it with intention. Same business. Different outcome. We have your solution.

At Analyze This LLC, the focus is on identifying these moments, structuring intelligent transitions, and ensuring what gets acquired actually holds its value long-term—operationally, culturally, and strategically.
