Forget what you know about traditional basketball—the ABA is back in South Florida with a fresh take on America's favorite indoor sport. Roy Smiley, owner of the Florida Tropics, joins us to unveil his vision for bringing high-octane professional basketball to Broward County.The Florida Tropics will call Nova Southeastern University home when their season kicks off on October 18th, 2025. Unlike conventional basketball, the ABA features game-changing elements like the 3D clock that transforms three-pointers into four-point shots and rewards half-court bombs with five points. This creates a lightning-fast pace where no lead is safe and comebacks happen in the blink of an eye.Beyond the excitement on the hardwood, Smiley's mission resonates on a deeper level. As a Broward native whose parents served as educators and coaches in the community, he's building the Tropics as both entertainment and opportunity. The franchise creates a vital pathway for overlooked talent—players who missed Division I opportunities due to grades, suffered injuries, or simply need another route to professional basketball abroad or in the G League. With playground legend Duke Skywalker already signed and several Big Three players in negotiations, the caliber of play promises to be exceptional.The Tropics experience extends well beyond basketball, featuring pre-game networking tailgates, performances from classic and contemporary artists, and family-friendly pricing that makes professional sports accessible again. At just $75 for a family package and kids under five free, it's affordable entertainment with maximum community impact. As Smiley puts it, "This is something that we can now call our own and cheer about and be proud about, because it's ours."Ready to witness basketball history?

When life handed Arielle Levitt a struggling family medical practice after her father's stroke, she turned to the one piece of advice that would forever change her entrepreneurial journey: "create a business card and network." Living in South Florida, she transformed the business by forging genuine connections within her local community.The path wasn't straightforward. As Arielle found herself drowning in business cards and spending countless hours writing personalized introductions between contacts, she recognized a fundamental problem facing networkers everywhere. Excel spreadsheets weren't cutting it, and existing platforms didn't address the organizational nightmare of maintaining meaningful business relationships. This frustration birthed Ripple Networking—an innovative app that organizes connections by events and streamlines introductions. Self-described as "not a techie person" who asks her 70-year-old mother for technology help, Arielle's strength lies in understanding human connections. Her insight that networking isn't just about business transactions but building relationships that often evolve into friendships shapes everything she does—from her physical therapy practice, MedAmerica, to The Connector podcast and now the Ripple Networking app.For those intimidated by networking, especially introverts, Arielle offers a refreshing perspective: start with just one person. That singular connection can create a ripple effect leading to countless opportunities. Her commitment to making networking accessible explains why the app remains free—because she believes everyone deserves the chance to connect and grow their business regardless of means or background.
