In the guest chair:
With Dr. Gez Agolli from Progressive Medical
Our Medical Expert Contributor, Dr. Gez Agolli was in the studio today to talk about Ebola and how the country and CDC are handling it.
We also talked about medicine as a business and discussed the idea of corporate culture and core values in medical practices. Dr. Agolli says without those things, the patients are not getting the best possible care.

- In happier Atlanta business news, local brewer Second Self Beer which plans to open its Westside brewery to the public in November, released four flagship beers, this week at a handful of Atlanta restaurants.
