TEASRA is led by Ray Stasieczko, an industry veteran with over 30 years of expertise. A pioneer of Managed IT and Managed Print services, Ray owned and operated dealerships, and served in many senior leadership roles in the office technology industry. Out of his successful career, he founded TEASRA in 2018.
My vision for TEASRA, The Innovation Channel, was born of this thought. "A company becomes obsolete when they focus on delivering the past to the future instead of delivering the future to the present." It’s only through collaboration and a willingness to look where others do not, which eventually separates the innovators from those stuck in the status quo.

No Ricoh is not buying Brother, However Brother should charge Ricoh for classes on how to be more profitable? I see this move as the first step in Brother taking an equity position in ETRIA. In this episode I dig deep into what I see. in the realites of this Ricoh Brother alignment.
The Federal Reserve has removed the limits on growth in total assets imposed on Wells Fargo in its 2018 consent order. This removal opens the door for acquisitions! It seems that Wells Fargo would be interested in acquiring GreatAmerica and I also think that GreatAmerica is ripe to be acquired based on what I see as shortcomings in GreatAmerica leadership.
Lots going on in the Industry! Today's episode I share some quick thoughts regarding this week's Amplify Print event in Rosemont Illinois. Also share thoughts on an upcoming episode discussing the collaboration between Ricoh & Brother - HINT- it's more proof in my thinking about Ricoh's Failures! Don't miss monday's episode regarding GreatAmerica and Why I believe Wells Fargo will soon buy them. And on Tuesday I head to New Mexico attending the BTA National meeting! Have a great weekend my friends
After sharing some thoughts I share the score card I came up with! What would your score card be? How would you answer the two questions? One being which one of these organizations would you want phantom shares in? Second question would you give up compensation to acquire the phantom shares?
How happy is the Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping regarding his PRC (Peoples Republic Of China) Technology companies selling all their technology to U.S. government offices, Military Bases, Navy Ships, Or global corporations? Tune in, I ask more questions regarding the dictator Xi Jinping and Lenovo.
OKI Print business is pretty small. In today's episode I suggest another way OKI can make money from print without ever selling, supplying, or servicing a printer!
Reading through the Konica Minolta 121st Shareholders meeting makes me think that the Konica Minolta leadership is delusional towards their ambitions regarding profitability! Also Ricoh should pay attention to the lessons of Konica Minolta.
It seems as the HP Inc CEO was delusional regarding the value AI in HP computers would bring HP. After all AI in PCs is a permission to show up! HP Inc Personal systems revenues up against 1st half of FY24 however the number that counts - Profit down by 1.5% ration to revenues. And of course, the HP Print business still evaporating. Is HP Inc leadership mainly their CEO missing the reality that spending close to 15 Billion on stock buybacks over the last few years was STUPID?
All investments are a risk! However, when a CEO willingly promotes phantom shares or other potentially valuable promises to the rank and file—especially instead of any type of monetary compensation —while knowing the company is not financially performing, I would classify that as a disingenuous and unrealistic CEO. Another description could be a fraud or charlatan.
It's the soldier's cries, torment, or required actions for what became their temporary survival that the fallen soldier spirit hopes those honoring will never have to visualize in the remembrance of their spirit.
Only through the wisdom of the older generations can the younger generations be taught the importance of discipline. As wisdom teaches, no one being disciplined will ever see the niceness in its moment.

The BTA is approaching its one hundredth anniversary and its current president Adamy Gregory and I sat down to discuss his tenure as president, the changes over the last year and we also addressed the question regarding the retired BTA lawyer and his statements on the new Konica Minolta Agreement. Adam, made it clear that the retired BTA Lawyer's blessing of the Konica Minolta New Dealer Agreement has nothing to do with the BTA or its current legal advisor. Adam & I wrapped up the episode discussing the exciting upcoming BTA Meeting in New Mexico. I am looking forward to the event and seeing all my industry friends.
