Heat fans are already looking towards the next season.  Miami Herald sports reporter Andre Fernandez spoke about recent remarks made by the team's president, Pat Riley, and what the team may do structurally moving forward in a previously recorded conversation.

Ana Gonzalez is leading 500 Startups in Miami. She joined the program to speak about the tech ecosystem and  the startup scene in Miami that led the company to chose to set down roots here. The company is taking applications for Founders Bootcamp,a free two-day session focused on fundraising and pitching.
