Advantage Co I IntroductionPosted by: TonyDate: January 1, 2024I turned 70 in November, and now it is time for me to step aside and leave the Advantage Co to the nextgeneration of leaders and builders. As we head into 2024, I am focusing on what it is I am going to donow that my time at the Advantage Co is coming to a close, but before I step aside, I am presenting thisyear’s updated Annual Profile as a touchstone for the current and future leaders of the Advantage Co.This Annual Profile featuring the Advantage Co’s remarkable portfolio of independently owned andoperated businesses is meant to help define what the Advantage Co is today along with the strategies,resources, and effort needed to bring our future aspirations to fruition.Although we have spent over four decades cultivating our resources to enable and grow a variety of B2Cbusinesses, the Advantage Co's focus has changed dramatically over the past dozen years. As weaggressively invest in the future, our growth strategy is now based on enhancing and expanding oursupport, development, and technology resources for our international B2B ambitions.At the Advantage Co, we have created a robust environment where everyone who is up to the challengehas enormous opportunities for advancement and personal equity - and now the challenge is all for thenext generation and generations to come.Page 2

Advantage Co I Mission StatementMission StatementAt the Advantage Co, we continue to help build remarkable value for our portfolio of independentlyowned and operated businesses by providing strategic resources, operating guidance, and AdvantageGlobal Resource’s comprehensive and reliable back-end support. We work collaboratively to ensureadvantageous market positioning, sustainable growth, and, when appropriate, a clear path to exit.With expertise in data governance, cyber security, Artificial Intelligence, cloud architecture, softwaredevelopment, professional technology services, accounting, tax, HR, staffing, design, branding, marketpositioning, direct marketing, sourcing, social benefit, beauty and wellness, and food services, we areuniquely positioned to help produce significant financial returns and meaningful social impact for ourindependently owned and operated partnerships [along with the fulfillment of each founder’s vision].The Advantage Co has always been a builder of dreams, a builder of families, a builder of friendships, abuilder of careers, a builder of opportunities, a builder of communities, and a catalyst for social good.And today, we are poised to be a builder of almost anything we can reasonably imagine [however,building does have a cost, and it is paid for in our commitment, determination, courage, and effort].Building a Flexible MatrixTo stay ahead of the competition and to continue our ever-changing and dynamic growth,the Advantage Co helps to develop each business as a flexible matrix that enables, encourages, andensures strategic paradigm shifts through the simple restructuring of elements providingmaximum speed to benefit and market ascendancy.At the Advantage Co, we never agreed with the “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” adage. We believe thateven if it is working well, we can still make it more effective [because we know the competition is alwayshard at work on something new]. For us, the challenge remains to always stay relevant and ahead of thecompetition by continuously renewing, improving, and reinventing who we are.“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” — W. Edwards DemingIn the early years of the Stereo Advantage, we remodeled our store every February. For over 30 years,we built rooms, walls, counters, offices, or displays only to knock them down and replace them as soonas we recognized we could build something better. As the consumer electronics market evolved fromturntables and 8-tracks to cassette decks to cd’s to VCRs to DVDs to MP3 players to computers toSpotify and iPhones, the Stereo Advantage executed strategic paradigm shifts through the simplerestructuring of its core elements to remain at the vanguard of the industry. And although the StereoAdvantage is gone, its commitment to relentless improvement and innovation remains in our DNA. Thisdisruptive approach can be disconcerting - innovation and renewal often frustrate those who simply donot want to change - but it continues to stoke the fire within, accelerate our growth, and secure ourfuture viability.Be big, be a builder.Page 4

Advantage Co I Building PartnershipsIn 1993, I decided to focus on building new businesses with visionary partners. My motivation fordeveloping diverse partnerships was to create, support, and enjoy a variety of businessexperiences with an eclectic mix of energetic builders. It has always been my goal to share thevision and provide the resources necessary for the development of partnerships as a business adventurefor those willing to take the full measure of the challenge. This business model has energized our RootPhilosophy for over 30 years, and it’s been my good fortune to have worked with - and continue to workwith - so many who have met the challenge.“Our partnership model certainly has worked well for me as it approaches 30 years on September 3,2023. I gave a speech years ago at the University of Buffalo, and someone asked me what ourpartnership model was. I told a story I’ve often recounted. Tony and I were at Brennan’s Bowery Bar inthe summer of 1993 after a round of golf. We had been discussing a possible staffing partnership, and Isaid, “I’m in 50/50. Let’s shake hands.” Tony replied, “51/49, and you’re the 51 percent majority partner.Frank can do up our partnership agreement.” I immediately responded, “Ok great, see you on September3rd.” Once I got started, I memorably asked, “What is our secretary’s name? I have a few letters thatneed to get typed.” Of course, I soon learned I’d be typing my own letters and learning how importantthe ‘Save’ button was.” – Joe Kreuz, Founding Partner of AP ProfessionalsCriteria for a Successful PartnershipThe Advantage Co’s independently owned and operated businesses and partnerships each answer tofour key criteria: Oxygen, Equity, Opportunity, and Lifestyle:● Oxygen is a business’s ability to provide the necessary cash flow and operating profit to sustainand grow the business.● Equity is a business’s ability to provide maximum and enduring value for the partnership.● Opportunity is a business’s ability to provide additional opportunities for everyone involved inthe business [the Root Philosophy].● Lifestyle is a business’s ability to provide for and enhance all of its participants' lives.We are fortunate to have so many opportunities that answer soremarkably well to these demanding criteria.The RecessionOver the past 40 years, we have always been well-prepared forperiodic recessions. The last recession in 2008 proved to be theimpetus for one of our most productive decades ever. Ourapproach to every recession has been to be cash strong andready to build while others are cutting back and bunkering in.Page 5

Since 1993, Joe Kreuz, Mark Pautler, and Tom Thomson have been the founding partners of morethan a dozen successful Advantage Co independently owned and operated businesses, including APProfessionals of WNY, AP Professionals of Rochester, AP Professionals of Phoenix [with JerryTenenbaum], AP Metro, iWolrd Professionals [with Guylaine DiSalvo], Advantage SystemsProfessionals, c1 Secure, c1 Advantage, PremCloud Resources, ZNZ Resources, Capax Global [withJerry Hawk and John Baiocco], PremCloud Resources, Autonomic Resources [with John Keese],along with numerous other ventures.Page 6

Advantage Co I Effective ManagementThe ability to take ownership of an undertaking - and successfully deliver the desired result - is thepremier quality of effective management. As I prepare to move on, I am encouraged by the remarkableand well-seasoned management we have developed throughout the entire Advantage Co Portfolio.Executing the GameplanIn every successful pursuit, there are those that go beyond contribution and actually provide the powerto turn our intentions into reality. While dynamic leadership is essential to creating an environment whereeveryone is motivated to give a 100% effort toward the desired result, we rely on management todeliver the desired result. Effective management is the difference maker. The power to turn intentioninto reality is what every endeavor requires.“Management has to be accountable for performance. Management exists for the sake of thebusiness’s results. It has to start with the intended results and has to organize the resources ofthe business to attain these results” - Peter F. DruckerFully Aligned, Fully Committed, and Fully EngagedWithout the power of fully aligned, fully committed, and fully engaged management, there is no focusedenergy source - and no chance of success. It is up to management to provide the resources,confidence, direction, and empowerment necessary to achieve our goals.“Every enterprise requires a commitment to common goals and shared values. Without suchcommitment, there is no enterprise; there is only a mob. It must be built on communication andindividual responsibility. The enterprise must have simple, clear, and unifying objectives. Themission of the organization has to be clear enough andbig enough to provide a common vision.Management’s first job is to think through, set, andexemplify those objectives, values, and goals.Objectives are the foundation for designing both thestructure of the business and the work of individualunits and individual managers. Objectives are alwaysneeded in all key areas. The area without specificobjectives will be neglected. Unless we determinewhat will be measured and what the yardstick ofmeasurement in an area will be, the area itself will not be seen. Objectives, therefore, have to beset in these eight key areas: Marketing, Innovation, Productivity, Physical Resources, Profitability,Financial Resources, Human Resources, and Social Responsibility.” - Peter DruckerPage 7

Advantage Co I PortfolioPast Performance . Present Purpose . Future NeedsAt the Advantage Co, we learn from the past, work in the present, and build for the future. The pastprovides us with precious memories, moments, and a building block for the future. The present is hereto both challenge us and provide enjoyment [and neither meeting thechallenge nor enjoying the moment should ever be delayed untiltomorrow]. While the future provides us with a chance to be all that wechoose/work to be. Based on the foundation we have built over the pastseveral years, our future is brighter than at any time in our history.Although various synergies contribute to our success, the AdvantageCo’s portfolio of independently owned and operated businesses eachhas its own unique destiny with its own future to build.Advantage Co's current portfolio includes five key verticals: InformationTechnology, Professional Services, Beauty & Wellness, Properties, and Food & Beverages. Each verticalprovides a variety of opportunities.UGA Capital Ventures Professional Services PropertiesPremCloud Resources Advantage Global Resources Walker CenterZNZ Resources AP Professionals LTS CenterBFSI Data iWorld Professionals Delta ApartmentsZ Legal Data Resources Lifetime ServiceConsilium Data Solutions Walker Global Solutions Beauty & WellnessFedCLOUD Resources Ragusa Executive Solutions Katini SkinZiDOL Resources BPX Executive Staffing Lab to Beautyc1 Secure Walker Sports Audit Cocoa by CeCeUnCarbonIt Advantage Brands GroupUnBiasIt M&L Devine Resources Food & BeverageVita Data Governance Giancarlo’sGrivaniThe following is a short profile of several of the Advantage Co’s portfolio of independently owned andoperated businesses, along with our key priorities for 2024:Page 8

Advantage Co I Advantage Global ResourcesTracy Allen . Ian O’NeillSince 1988, I have believed that the true value of the Advantage Experience was to be realized byproviding a menu of readily available resources for the development and support of an eclectic mix ofindependently owned and operated businesses. Today, Advantage Global Resources [AGR] providesthe essential resources for the origination, formation, design, structure, financing, development, growth,reporting, monitoring, analytics, compliance, insurance, health care, HR, legal, security, accounting,audit, and governance of all the Advantage Co’s business adventures.Chief among our Advantage Global Resources [AGR] support services are accounting, taxreporting, design, money management, and Human Resources. Accordingly, we have paidparticular attention to the advancement and evolution of these resources over the past several years.One of the most poignant and rewarding outcomes of the Advantage Co’s pandemic response has beenthe development of the entire AGR team. Forged by remarkable solidarity during the height of thepandemic and spurred on by a unity of purpose and friendship, the entire AGR team has becomeone of our strongest, most reliable, and most enjoyable resources. Apparently, my strategy withAGR to just cave has worked better than anyone expected. 2023 was arguably AGRs best year ever.Office Anywhere ProgramAGR has seamlessly transitioned to a hybrid on-premise and work-from-home [when necessary] officedynamic. This allows everyone to be comfortable, safe, and productive regardless of where they areworking from. [AGR provides each of our staff $1k a year for improving their remote office.]You can count on us.It all starts with a team that is fully aligned, fully committed, and fully engaged - which takes away theneed for continuous oversight and unnecessary intrusion. This leads directly to more personalaccountability and work satisfaction. Ian is now a well-seasoned manager, and having a team that looksout for each other has certainly made his job easier. In addition to the satisfaction of AGR growing into atight-knit and productive team, we all take great pride in how much the entire Advantage Co appreciatesand relies on the work AGR is doing [for them].Over the past few years, we have had the opportunity to gain a better insight into what AGR must do tocreate the type of support that will continue to provide the foundation, security, and confidencenecessary to enable the enduring prosperity and growth of Advantage Co as a robust business-buildingresource. To remain a potent service, AGR will continue to develop and acquire new technologies [e.g.AGR Bridge, Bill.com, Bullhorn, CCH Access Tax, etc.] in order to push us to the vanguard oftechnological innovation. Sustaining and enhancing our recent success will depend, in large part, onbuilding technologically advanced resources that will enable the creation, development, operation,support, security, and governance of a variety of new opportunities, partnerships, and investments.And now we are ready for the future …Page 9

Looking back over 40 years, this was our intrepid crew at the Stereo Advantage at 5687 Main Street inthe Village of Williamsville, NY. It was an amazing group of friends and builders.In no particular order, Crash, Audio Al, Pete, Liz, Butch, Karen, Sprout, Lizzie, Trey, Dave the K [the Kingof Car Stereo], Susie, Artie, Gapper, and Joanne. I’ll leave it to you to match the names to the faces. Myapologies to Joe Bake [who got taken out by water damage].Page 10

and contractors, and for a variety of reporting and analysis. It integrates with Quickbooks andPaycom, and it is what AP Professionals rely upon for billing, invoice processing, payroll, PTOtracking, and logging permanent staffing placements. Additionally, AGR Bridge will be added to thePremCloud Platform and our Ai Data Governance offerings.5. Spend ManagementAlthough AGR handles payables remarkably well, we provide very little spending oversight for ourclients. In 2023, AGR will work to provide better tools, budgeting, and protocol for effective costrecognition and control to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and eliminate abuses and theft. Weneed to further develop new resources like Bill.com and our Dashboards for Kirsten, Kim, and Mattto be more effective and enable our clients to be more cost-conscious and eliminate waste and theftwith effective Spend Management.6. Ongoing EducationAGR needs to reintroduce a robust and ongoing learning opportunity for everyone involved in theAdvantage Experience. Once again, we have let our Book of the Month Club, continuing education,and seminars lapse. We will continue to encourage management to read a relevant book a month aswell as travel to two seminars a year. It’s time to make it happen consistently.Our Harvard Business School Program got off to a great start [with several graduates in less thantwo years], but it has recently waned. AGR needs to aggressively provide and promote this andsimilar ongoing graduate education opportunities.7. Walker Center RenovationThe Buffalo Bills are still getting ready for the launch of their new Stadium Sales Center in the WalkerCenter, and we are strategically filling in the two remaining openings we have.In the meantime, we need to get ready for the Bills and continue to make the updates necessary tomaintain the Walker Center’s preeminence as the jewel of WNY. Having sustained significantdamage due to the epic WNY winter storm at the end of 2022, Giancarlo’s spent 2023 creating aneven more remarkable fine-dining experience with the addition of the Florence Room Terrace.8. Worldwide Stakeholder ConnectionSooner or later, we need to get around to creating a membership database that will allow us to stayin touch with everyone engaged with the Advantage Co Portfolio of independently owned andoperated businesses.We need to maximize the potential of every point of contact. It is not enough to merely satisfy theimmediate purpose of the contact; we need to recognize and maximize the potential in the future ofthe relationship. It’s not only what we are currently doing with all of our contacts that count, but alsorecognizing what is possible - and the possibilities are often limitless.As Joe Kreuz always says, we are building relationships that last a lifetime.Page 12

UGA I Who Needs a Modern Archive?Your Current Archive Just Doesn’t Cut It AnymoreToday, massive amounts of data come in various forms, including structured, and unstructured data.Enterprises are generating data at an unprecedented rate, fueled by factors such as increaseddigitalization, IoT devices, social media, artificial intelligence, and customer interactions, as well aschallenging distributed workforces and increased utilization of chat and collaboration platforms (MSTeams, Zoom, Slack, etc.). This rapid data growth has led to overwhelming volumes of Dark Data - andit has exposed the limitations of legacy archive and storage solutions.Managing and analyzing unstructured Dark Data, such as text documents, images, and videos, isparticularly challenging [and beyond the capabilities of current archive solutions]. Complicating matterseven more, this escalating Dark Data is often stored in disparate systems and departments, leading todata fragmentation. This fragmentation can make identifying, accessing, searching, efficiently storing,exposing risk, analyzing, and effectively utilizing Dark Data difficult.Recognizing the Need for a Modern ArchiveUnfortunately, leading archive solutions [as well as our own EAS, Z Archive, and HPCA] have beenprimarily designed for email archiving and data management, with a focus on ensuring compliance,security, and accessibility for email communications. While these solutions excel in handling email data,they have limitations when it comes to archiving Dark Data. But now we have the solution …“PremCloud Resources is proud to introduce Ai Data Governance Toolbox, agroundbreaking data management solution that modernizes any data storage orarchiving solution.

Lifetime Service & Solutions I Repair SolutionsMike DeJoy . Audio Al Walters . Ron Bellus . Joe Switniewski . Jim BerentLifetime Service & Solutions is an ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001:2015 certified organization. We developturnkey solutions to securely handle items with sensitive personal or enterprise data during the recovery,repair, refurbishment, and recycling processes. We help highly regulated industries such as insurance,finance, healthcare, and education mitigate looming cybersecurity risks when handling aging anddepreciated organization-owned devices.Data SecurityOur ISO 9001-certified process controls were the first step in safeguarding devices while under our roof.But the proliferation of data breach news prompted a corporate initiative to set the standard forcybersecurity mitigation in our industry. The ISO/IEC 27001 standard was a natural extension of ourcore competency in process accuracy. From benign streaming passwords on your Smart TV to sensitivepersonal identifiable information [PII] on your tablet or laptop, the need to protect your data is ubiquitous.Over the past 3 years, we have invested heavily in continuous monitoring equipment and software toavoid viruses, malware, network intrusion, and network vulnerabilities. Designing infrastructure based onthe move of data to the Azure cloud, adding highly available firewall solutions from Sophos, andmonitoring solutions from Tenable, all have contributed to a successful ISO/IEC 27001 certification and asafe environment for our customers.Service OfferingsOf course, we have not left our roots in consumer electronics behind. Amongst the range of services weoffer to the aforementioned verticals and also to electronics manufacturers are:● Technical repair and refurbishment of consumer electronics, computing/printing devices, gamingand VR equipment, music equipment, and drones. In addition to mitigating claims costs forThird Party Administrators [TPAs], we extend product lifecycles for manufacturers [OEMs] byeconomically creating salable inventory from their defective and returned items.● Secure management of end-user data throughout the cycle of product involvement on a granularbasis. This is evident by an order accuracy rate that exceeds 99.99%, which is audited by ourcustomers on a weekly basis.● A category-based repair cell structure that separates triage, part install, testing, and qualitycontrol, giving customers a level of feedback not duplicated in our industry.● A flexible ERP system that provides RTI on a per-unit basis across many platforms.● The ability to create replacement solutions for uneconomical repairs. This first-of-its-kind depotsolution allows our customers to realize internal savings by eliminating an entire level ofadministration. An important by-product is the savings of customer turnaround time, which hasled to a measurable increase in NPS results.● The ability to control vertical markets on key product lines. Lifetime has developed exclusiverelationships with global OEMs, creating depot-level control for our customers, whilewarehousing and distributing the OEM part supply chain to decrease repair time by up to 90%.Page 39

● Industry-leading repair turnaround times augmented by the ability to create a reclaimed partsinventory that minimizes repair times.SustainabilityIn 2022, our services prevented 2.4MM lbs. of e-waste from reaching a landfill. Responsible devicelifecycle management enables the Circular Economy by prioritizing repair or recycling of electronics toreturn them to the supply chain. We support the Circular Economy with a security-first mindset: helpingcustomers reduce environmental impacts and information security risks by responsibly handling devicescontaining PII, protecting or securely destroying data, reducing waste, and extending device lifecycles.Lifetime Service Center Background and CapabilitiesThe LTS Leadership Team has a history of being a leading-edge technical service provider to theconsumer electronics industry.

Juliana RagusaUnCarbonIt is a new international consulting resource from Dan and Juliana Burgio, providing criticalenergy assessment and support. Clean energy is where the opportunity is. Whether it’s solar, wind,geothermal, or hydrogen - the market is changing because these options outperform fossil fuels.“Many companies do not have ESG expertise internally. They are looking for external subject matterexperts that can help them design ESG programs and reporting mechanisms to demonstrate complianceadherence. I believe the way to get UnCarbonIt to market is through the ServiceNow App Store. ESGhas been a hot topic amongst many enterprise risk sellers at ServiceNow. We can leverage theCONMON capabilities of ServiceNow and introduce an UnCarbonIt control framework for assessmentand ongoing testing.To bring this to fruition, Dan is working on aggregating the control objectives from each framework wehave discussed. I will then translate this into the platform, and we can start to add our suggestedindicator templates to test and measure compliance. Once complete, we can package the frameworkinto an App and bring this through the ServiceNow certification process.” - JJ Contessa, CPOPage 45

BPX Executive Staffing is built on thepremise that if we can secure the opportunity to fill an executive opening for an organization with thebest Black candidate, we will begin to change the color of the executive suite while enhancing theaspiration of everyone of color within the organization.While most major organizations have developed some sort of diversity and inclusion program over theyears, many of these organizations are now straddled with nothing more than their placating rhetoric withno clear path forward to fulfill their promises. Fortunately, BPR offers organizations immediate resourcesto demonstrate real action as well as immediate and substantive results.With BPR, our representatives and teaming partners are knocking on open doors.BPR is in the right place, at the right time, with the right solutions. Every organization can benefit fromthe instant staffing solutions BPR offers to effectuate immediate change in the color of their executivelevel. And nothing will give them more positive returns throughout their organization, community, ormarketplace than the timely inclusion of more Black executives.BPX Executive Staffing Partnership ProgramAs mentioned above, most large organizations are addressing their racial bias issues, and despite theirefforts, they still don't have anything that effectively creates immediate, productive, and visible impactlike our BPX Executive Staffing Program.With no up-front costs, our Contingency-Fee BPX Executive Staffing Service enables organizations toachieve their staffing goals with an intentional focus on providing exceptional Black candidates to thepool from which to select. BPX Executive Staffing works with organizations collaboratively to provide therecruitment and direct placement of qualified Black candidates at the executive level.

Inparticular, our BPX Executive Staffing has been successful beyond our initial expectations. With thelaudatory response and overwhelming collaboration of so many organizations, BPX Executive Staffingfinds itself shorthanded and unable to meet the current and anticipated demand for our services.Therefore, BPR is embarking on an aggressive recruiting campaign for advisors, agents, and serviceproviders around the world.BPX Executive Staffing Agents are eligible for and rewarded by our beneficial BPX Executive StaffingContingency Fee Splitting Commissions. Our BPX Executive Staffing 25% Contingency Fee in Q12023 is allocated as follows:BPX Executive Staffing 20%BPX Partner - Account Referral 15%BPX Partner - Account Acquisition 20%BPX Partner - Candidate Referral 15%BPX Partner - Candidate Acquisition 20%BPX Partner - Requisition Fulfillment 10%Total 100%Page 47

Fee Splitting Quarterly ReviewJob market dynamics have an impact on the reward for certain activities in the placement process. Overthe past few years, there has been an abundance of executive job openings but a paucity of candidates.However, with the recent downturn in the economy, the pendulum is beginning to shift. This means thatwe are expecting fewer executive job openings and more available candidates. Accordingly, theportioning of the BPX Executive Staffing Contingency Fee is now swinging more toward rewardingaccount referral and acquisition.In Q3 2022, we anticipate that executive job openings and available candidates are about equallyobtainable. Therefore, the Q3 2022 allocation of the BPX Executive Staffing Contingency Fee startingJuly 1, 2022, reflects this balance. This balance will be reviewed every quarter, and the appropriateallocation will be announced at least two weeks prior to the start of each new quarter.Note: All allocations are determined and paid out based on the allocation at the time ofrequisition fulfillment, regardless of any activity in any previous quarter. There is no retroactive orgrandfathered allocation of fees.BPX Executive Staffing’s contingency fee is 25% of the candidate’s starting annualsalary. If the candidate BPX Executive Staffing provides accepts employment with an account, or anyof an accounts’ affiliates, as a direct or indirect result of our referral, a placement fee is due BPXExecutive Staffing.This fee is payable if the employee was hired within 12 months of the last day referred by BPX ExecutiveStaffing, regardless of the employment classification [permanent, temporary, referred through anotheragency, consulting, or per-diem arrangement]. The entire 25% placement service fee is due 45 daysfrom the successful candidate’s hire date [although typically paid in 90 days].All commissions and fee-splitting are paid after the hired candidate remains in the employ of the chargedaccount for 100 days. This coincides with our BPX Executive Staffing Guarantee detailed in our AccountAgreement:BPX Executive Staffing GuaranteeIn the event the successful candidate leaves an account’s employ [for any reason other than downsizingor reorganization, job elimination, merger, or acquisition] within the first 100 days of employment, aprorated guarantee will be honored or a credit will be issued against the replacement fee. The refund orcredit will be equal to 1/100th of the fee multiplied by the number of days remaining on the guarantee.Here are the current requirements for each portion of our BPX Executive Staffing Contingency Fee.● BPX Executive StaffingBPX Executive Staffing will retain this portion of the paid fee for providing the various BPXExecutive Staffing and AGR resources to all authorized agents, accounts, and candidates at nocharge.Page 48

"Research shows that 70% of all jobs are not published publicly on jobs sites and as much as 80% ofjobs are filled through personal and professional connections. In a dramatically shifting labor market, theimportance of networks in having a successful career only stands to grow." – CNBCThrough BPR Networking speaking engagements, online resources, and various teaming partnerships,BPR Networking will help Black professionals establish a sustainable ecosystem for the ongoingadvancement of their careers and entrepreneurial ambitions.Networking can increase your social well-being and help you develop lifelong friends.

BPR I Business IncubatorThe third pillar of our BPR mission is our Business Incubator Program. The BPR Founding Partners havepledged BPR’s entire profits to this ambitious program. Already, BPR is engaged in the incubation andfinancing of several significant start-ups, including UnBiasIt, Katini Skin, Cocoa by CeCe, Walker SportsAudit, Black Progress Alliance, and BPR College Advisory Program.Most importantly, all of the profits from BPR’s share of these partnerships go entirely to fund even moreBPR incubated businesses. The potential of our BPR programs and start-ups is limitless. Eachopportunity will encourage additional investment, but we are confident that the profits of BPR willprovide substantial start-up funding, but the real success will come from the full engagement andbusiness energy provided by the minority ownership.BPR Business Incubator Mission StatementAt BPR, we create remarkable value for our portfolio of incubated businesses by providing strategicinvestment and operating guidance. We work collaboratively to ensure advantageous marketpositioning, sustainable growth, and a clear plan for funding and development while producingoutstanding, risk-adjusted returns for all stakeholders.BPR advises our incubated businesses on a full range of liquidity transactions ranging from early-stagegrowth capitalization [which blends the best elements of venture capital and private equity] to a minoritysale to a majority recapitalization with a financial sponsor. Additionally, BPR has the resources tostructure the most advantageous exit, whether it be a full sale to a financial or strategic acquirer, amerger, or an IPO.With expertise and investments in data management, cloud architecture, professional services, socialbenefit, and beauty and wellness, BPR is uniquely positioned to create significant financial returns andmeaningful social impact for each of our incubated businesses, as well as the fulfillment of theirfounder’s vision.At BPR, we recognize that most organizations possess an entrepreneurial zeal to create a business orsocial dynamic that transcends monetary value while unavoidably accepting the financial requirementsof turning their vision into reality. Often, a vision has value well before it generates revenue or profits.Accordingly, everyone at BPR works to unlock the inherent and full value of our incubated businessesthroughout the entire life cycle - from initial development to purposeful funding to ongoing productivity toa potential exit strategy.Page 52

Giancarlo’s I Buffalo News ReviewAnthony Giancarlo Ragusa . Gabriela Ragusa https://www.giancarlossteakhouse.com/At Giancarlo's Sicilian Steakhouse, a first-class brigade holds the fort.Buffalo News Review . Andrew Galarneau . August 2, 2022 . All photos by Minh ConnorsFor the last few months, I’ve been wondering if the era of squadron service in glitzy surroundings hadgone the way of the buggy whip. Watching the crack team at Giancarlo’s Sicilian Steakhouse performtheir ballet des tables smoothly while delivering plates of well-crafted cuisine convinced me that I fearedtoo soon.Anthony Ragusa and sister Gabriela have been running a restaurant in a Williamsville plaza since 2011.At my first visit in 2012, I enjoyed my steak as best I could, perched on a chair at one of three high-toptables. That restaurant was the glimmering of an idea, wedged between two other concepts, a sports barand a coffee counter.It took me a decade to return. On my revisit, the Ragusas’ full-hearted plunge into fine dining wasalready well underway and doing boffo crowds. Housemade pasta – even gluten-free versions – andhigh-performance entrees veer far off the Italian-American stereotypical menu. There’s still a bar forcomfy cocktails, but a raw seafood bar, too, and one of the best-situated patios in Williamsville.None of that would matter if the battalion behind them was weak, though. Plenty of places budget morefor their decorator and television commercials than retention bonuses for line cooks. I can taste the lackof commitment in the food. Sometimes, the people stuck serving it to me look like they would rather beanywhere else.Not at Giancarlo’s, where our server was so effortlessly engaging I kept wondering if there were hiddencamera food television auditions afoot. The table setting didn’t include a tablecloth, but it did offer tablecards introducing you to your server, with full-color portraiture and a Tiger Beat-like getting-to-know-youbiography box. Giancarlo’s introduced them during the mask-wearing pandemic period since customerscouldn’t really see their server’s face.Page 60

General Manager Fred Palmer with a bottle of Italian wine, and head chef Nicholas Cee with some of thepasta made daily at Giancarlo's Sicilian Steakhouse.Genevieve, a five-year employee with a University at Buffalo degree working on becoming a sommelier,ably guided our table through a menu chockablock with pleasant detours. Asking the right questions,quick with apt suggestions, she helped us have our best meal.Fluffy housemade focaccia with butter and beguilingly sweet-tangy red pepper agrodolce are highlysnackable, but you might want to save ammo.Noodles rule at this steakhouse, given the work of chef Nicholas Cee, a nine-year employee, and hisflour-dusted pasta crew. Corn and crab ravioli [$22.90] was a breath of summer by the sea in a pastapackage tender as a love letter. Smoky-sour citrus chipotle sauce added a racy dimension.Servers wear buzzers and headsets to coordinate their deliveries. So a half-dozen oysters [$19.90] showup shortly after shucking. G’s antipasti [$22.90] presents as golden crumb-coated artichoke hearts stillcrispy, not wilted. The prosciutto-wrapped parcels of milky fresh mozzarella griddled to oozy andcrisp-edged, on arugula with dabs of chopped tomato bruschetta, doesn’t hurt its case, either.Page 61

Giancarlo's Sicilian Steakhouse includes an oyster bar with fresh seafood.Calamari [$19.90] arrived in whisper-thin coating, rings and tentacles each with their textural payoffs.More of that red pepper agrodolce was a welcome vacation from marinara.Salmon tartare includes lemon, capers, olives, tzatziki, pita, and pine nuts at Giancarlo's.Page 62

Giancarlo’s Salmon tartare [$19.90] takes a voyage to the Greek isles. Yogurt sauces the fish, not oliveoil, its lactic tenderizing power resulting in ultra-lush bites of raw salmon. Bites arranged on wedges ofgrilled pita bread, anointed with lemon, the briny pop of capers, pine nuts, and the yogurt-garlic-dill dipcalled tzatziki, got people nodding. If you’re considering taking the dive, this is an effective gateway toeating uncooked fish.Ali Babba brick oven pizza at Giancarlo's Sicilian Steakhouse includes crushed tomatoes, artichokes,fresh mozzarella, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and shaved fennel.Our Ali Babba pizza [$22.90], decked with cherry tomatoes, artichokes, fresh mozzarella, shaved fennel,and arugula, did well as a vegetarian entrée, ideal salad-pizza hybrid. Its corniciones, too crispy to throwaway, found more of the red pepper sauce. Meatier versions include a Buffalo chicken [$22.90], steakwith banana peppers [$24.90], and pepperoni [$22.90], drizzled with hot chile honey.A plank of properly pan-seared sea bass [$44.90], creamy at the core, came perched on risotto that wasnotable for both what was present [bay shrimp and chopped artichoke] and what was missing [grainscooked to characterless mush]. Giancarlo’s got the rice right.Page 63

The Godfather is a 32-ounce bone-in ribeye at Giancarlo's Sicilian Steakhouse.The steaks delivered, too, like the 17-ounce strip steak [$59.90] that arrived expertly charred without,rosy within. But this is one steakhouse where your hunger could head in many directions.Lamb chops [$42.90] were another Greek pitch that landed squarely, sporting crispy fried garbanzobeans, spice-dusted frites, along with tzatziki that every lamb chop lover secretly craves.Desserts included Key lime pie [$14.90], cannoli [$9.90], and crème brulee [$14.90], but as is often thecase, the zeppole [$13.90] stole my table’s hearts. What’s better than a warm clutch of doughnutsbegging to be dunked?At this restaurant, there’s just one name on the sign. But remember: Restaurants are made of people. AtGiancarlo’s Sicilian Steakhouse, like a Super Tuscan, its excellence begins with a whole bunch ofnoteworthy grapes.Giancarlo’s Sicilian Steakhouse5110 Main St., Williamsville [giancarlossteakhouse.com, 716-650-5566]Hours: 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 4 to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Walker Center I A Williamsville LandmarkThe Walker Center opened as the gateway to Williamsville, NY, in 1994, and for nearly 30 years, it hasbeen the preeminent business, office, and fine dining center in WNY. Anchored by the nationallyacclaimed Giancarlo’s Sicilian Steakhouse & Pizzeria, the Walker Center has transitioned into a vibranttech center with several market-leading data solution tenants like PremCloud Resources and c1Resources [serving international enterprise clients such as Lloyd’s Bank of London, Network Rail of theUK, Bloomberg, Latham & Watkins, GE, Zoom, etc.].Since its inception, the Walker Center has also been the worldwide headquarters of the Advantage Co.And this coming August, the Walker Center will welcome the Buffalo Bills new Virtual Stadium Center.https://twitter.com/i/status/1585711163450572808Ron Raccuia, executive vice president and chief operating officer of theBuffalo Bills, told News 4.“The Walker Center in Williamsville will play host to the facility and theBills call the location “central to Western New York. Every fan that has aseat in the new stadium will come through the Sale Center. They’ll experience it from a virtual realitystandpoint, a 360 viewing standpoint. They’ll be able to sit in their seats. They’ll be able to designwhere they want to sit, where they want to park and tailgate,”Page 65

Advantage Co I Reading ListOver the years, I have researched, read, written about, andembodied these fundamentals. I believe in my RootPhilosophy. I believe in the merchant harvest. The books onthis list all have one thing in common - their clarity. For me, thesearch for clarity is where knowledge begins:The Essential Drucker by Peter Drucker - He defines thepurpose of business and management better than anyonebefore him or since.The One Minute Manager – build loyal employees [we’re allmanagers]. The One Minute Salesperson – build a salesstrategy and loyal customers.The Art of War – build a competitive strategy and win. Bydefining a winning strategy, Sun Tzu’s classic on waging waremerges as one of the greatest strategic essays of all time.The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli - What Sun Tzu is to war,Niccolo is to politics - hardcore and undeniable.Built to Last – build a Core Ideology and a business that lasts.One Page Management – how to manage well.Finance & Accounting for Non-Financial Managers –handling your finances.The Mansions of Philosophy – Will Durant wrote this in1929 as a story of human life and destiny, or, as the subtitlepromises, an attempt at a consistent philosophy of life. It hasbeen a chisel on my life. This is nourishment for the mind.An Incomplete Education – the basics for a well-roundededucation.Siddhartha – Hermann Hesse's great little story for the soul.Lapsing Into a Comma by Bill Walsh - Although you may havethe Tweeter lingo down pat, it may help if you learn how toactually write skillfully.Tracy Allen Advantage Co Human Resources DirectorPage 66

Advantage Co I The Root Keeps Growinghttps://tonywalkerpost.com/root-philosophy/From the very beginning in 1978, it has been my goal to provide the vision, resources, andconfidence necessary for the development of the Advantage Co as a business experiencefor those willing to take the full measure of the challenge. This approach has energized ourRoot Philosophy for over 40 years, and it has been our good fortune to build a number ofworld-class businesses.Note: The Advantage Co is not an operating entity; it is simply an informal name that hasevolved over 40 years to reference the eclectic mix of independently owned and operatedbusinesses and partnerships that I am involved with in some manner. Likewise, there is noTony Walker. It is also a legacy name that has evolved over the years as my nom deplume, starting with my authorship of The Third Factor [The Advantage Co Handbook].Here is a list of the independently owned and operated businesses we have started orhelped to start over the years. [180 and counting]. The businesses in italics arepartnerships. The businesses in bold are currently operational. Each one has been visitedby success and failure. Some businesses never really got off the ground, while others havebeen thriving for decades. One of these nights, I’ll start filling in the stories. The reallygood news is that over 50 of the businesses we have helped to launch are thrivingenterprises.All told, we estimate there have been over 8,000 participants in the building of theseopportunities. If you have a backstory for any of them, why not share it with me? I’ll takethe good with the bad [they all have their share].
