IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viseon, Inc., a leader in minimally invasive spine surgery visualization technologies, today announced MaxView facilitates more rapid adoption of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery procedures by providing an enhanced teaching and learning experience. MaxView is a state-of-the-art technology that provides a first-of-its-kind, unobstructed view into Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery procedures. This intraoperative view of the surgical site is displayed in high definition onto operating room monitors, allowing for a magnified see and be seen experience. Surgeon trainees now have the ability to observe the procedure in real time and trainers have the confidence to allow trainees to perform a greater portion of the surgery earlier in their training, intervening only when necessary. Gregory Mundis, MD, Co-Director of the San Diego Spine Fellowship Program at Scripps Green Hospital and Rady Childrens Hospital, commented, Viseons MaxView has enabled me to let go of the knife and trust my fellows months earlier in their training. They get to see very early in their training how I perform the procedures and subsequently I am able to directly observe and direct their hands through MaxView video assistance.

Teaching and learning Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery procedures has historically been challenging for many reasons, all of which remain barriers to adoption. The most significant challenge to adoption of these procedures is limited visualization, being that only one person can view the surgical site at any given time. As a result, many trainees leave residency, fellowship or industry-sponsored training with a lack of confidence to adopt the procedure in their practice. Learning a procedure and adopting a procedure are two totally different things. For the first time ever, MaxView is enhancing the trainer and trainee experience, ultimately resulting in surgeon confidence and increased adoption rates of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery procedures, stated Matt Anderson, Viseon Vice President US Sales. As profound as it may sound, the surgeons enhanced ability to see accelerates adoption of advanced techniques, improves OR efficiency and minimizes risks of complications, added Mr. Anderson. The MaxView System provides superior visualization through minimally invasive access that is unobstructed by instrument handles and surgeon hands, and projects a real-time image onto the OR monitor, allowing the entire OR team to observe the highly magnified HD views. As a result, trainees leave training programs with a superior experience and increased confidence to more rapidly adopt advanced procedures into their practice.

About Viseon, Inc.

Viseon has developed a unique portfolio of devices to improve the procedural and clinical outcomes of many Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery procedures. In addition to rapid product development of its products, Viseon has assembled a world-class Clinical Advisory Board of leading MISS physicians, amassed a significant intellectual property portfolio, completed a large series of clinical use and is currently in phase-one of US commercialization.

Staff photo by C.B. Schmelter / Jerry, right, and Erica Evans pose at their business, Finders Keepers Treasure Seekers, on Friday, Nov. 6, 2020 in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Tiffany Pauldon-Banks has operated a successful wedding planning and event business for the past six years in both her native Chicago and in her transplanted home in Chattanooga.

But when the COVID-19 pandemic limited all but small wedding celebrations, Pauldon-Banks decided to pursue her dream of bringing Chicago-style hoagies to Chattanooga. In January, the 35-year-old entrepreneur will open Lil Mama's Chicago Style Hoagy next to Jack Brown's Tavern in the Tomorrow Building on the Patten Parkway in downtown Chattanooga.

"People ask why I would try to start a business during a pandemic, and my thought is it's still a good time because people always have to eat," she says. "I feel like the pandemic has actually opened the door of opportunity by giving me the incentive and the extra time I needed to build this new business, and I know this won't last forever."

Pauldon-Banks is among a growing number of people starting business ventures this year. Unlike previous recessions, which have caused more caution among entrepreneurs, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted many to rethink who they work for as traditional jobs have been cut. With extra stimulus funds and a belief that the pandemic won't endure, many are deciding to start their own companies.

"We're definitely seeing more interest and activity in starting new businesses probably 40 to 50 percent more this year," says Hal Bowling, executive director of LAUNCH Chattanooga, a 9-year-old nonprofit group working to encourage more local business startups. "A lot of people lost jobs this year that never expected they would, so the idea of starting a new business is both more essential and more opportune for a lot folks."

The U.S. Census Bureau reports business applications in 2020 are up 38.5% so far this year over last year's levels. Even in a pandemic when many companies were forced to close, the Census Bureau reports there have been 3.2 million requests for employer identification numbers, which is what a business needs to get started. In the same period of 2019, there were 2.7 million such requests for employer ID numbers.

In Hamilton County, 2,447 business filings were made with the Tennessee Secretary of State through the first 10 months of the year, up 13.2% from the same period a year ago. Statewide, business filings for all of Tennessee in the first 10 months of 2020 rose 17.5% from last year to 46,563, according to filings with the Tennessee Secretary of State.

"We've had a 40-year decline (in the number of new business startups) and it certainly would be great with all of the negatives of this year to see an increase in business starts," Bowling says. "I think that is very likely."

As the economy emerged from most of the shutdowns this spring, more people prepared to start businesses in Chattanooga, experts say.

"Initially this spring we were getting very few inquiries about starting a business, but since July, we're seeing a definite uptick in the number of people wanting to know more about how to start their own business," says Lynn Chesnutt, director of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center in Chattanooga. "Some people whose jobs have been eliminated or who have been furloughed are saying "If not now, when?'"

From March 15, when the pandemic forced many businesses to shut down, through the end of September, the TSBDC has worked with 457 people in Chattanooga, or nearly as many as the 532 that the office served during all of 2019 when the economy was booming.

Chesnutt and Bowling say their organizations have had to switch from in-person to online training and counseling, which has worked in many cases to allow more people to get help more quickly since they don't have to leave their homes or businesses to receive advice or participate in virtual seminars.

"The silver lining coming out of this is that we think people will want to continue to do virtual programs and meetings, and that will make us more productive in helping to serve our nine-county region," Chesnutt says.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports business applications in 2020 are up 38.5% so far this year over last years levels. Even in a pandemic when many companies were forced to close, the Census Bureau reports there have been 3.2 million requests for employer identification numbers, which is what a business needs to get started. In the same period of 2019, there were 2.7 million such requests for employer ID numbers.

For Jerry and Erica Evans, the pandemic inspired them to switch businesses and launch a bin warehouse outlet. The couple had previously run an estate sale business helping to price and sell household homes at estate sales across the region. But the pandemic ended most of that business, so the couple turned their selling skills and entrepreneurial drive to their newest venture Finders Keepers.

In a former car dealership and repair shop warehouse on Hixson Pike, Jerry and Erica Evans now unload a truckload of returned merchandise every week and put from 6,000 to 8,000 items from each truck into 41 wooden bins and sell each item for a declining price over four days each week.

Every Saturday, Finders Keepers opens with every item priced for $5 and then cuts the price to $3 an item on Sunday, a dollar per item on Monday and, for what's left, 50 cents an item on Tuesday.

"We knew we had to do something when the estate sales business pretty much ended and we saw how well this type of business was doing elsewhere," Jerry Evans says. "I wasn't sure at first, but we're gaining a lot of customers now every week and in this current economy I think more people are looking for the kind of bargains we can offer."

Jerry Evans, who says he might even open a second location of Finders Keepers, was able to use the skills he developed in running other businesses in the past to pivot into a new venture. But many others starting their own business for the first time are seeking help from a variety of small business assistance programs.

To help startups, Chattanooga boasts the state's biggest business incubator, one of the first business accelerator programs, and a host of other training and seed capital assistance in and around the Innovation District established downtown to nurture more startups.

"Whenever you have a correction or change in your economy, there are a number of businesses that start up," says Christy Gillenwater, president of the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce, which operates the Chattanooga/Hamilton County Business Development Center and works with startup business groups like CO.LAB and the Enterprise Center and local venture capital groups like the Dynamo and Renaissance Funds. "I think our entrepreneurial eco-system for those businesses is vibrant, particularly for this size community, and hopefully that is helping to create more businesses here."

Sales Training and Onboarding Software Market Is Expected To Reach Multimillion Usd By The End Of 2025: Showpad MindTickle Lessonly Allego Brainshark...

Days from a contentious presidential election, firearms dealers and trainers in the Memphis area are reporting a level of interest from first-time gun owners previously unseen in their careers.

"When I say first time buyer, I mean every demographic you can imagine, every ethnicity you can imagine, they're coming inbuying one or more guns. Women are coming in too, a lot of women," saidGreg Richardson, a salesman and gunsmith at Classic Arms in Cordova.

In a typical year, Richardson estimates roughly 3,500 firearms are sold out of the tiny Cordova shop.

With a couple of months to go in 2020, Richardson said his store has already clocked around 5,000 gun sales. Ammunitionsales, he said, have been "in the millions. Literally millions of rounds of ammo."

The surge in firearm and ammunition sales from new and seasoned gun owners alike may be limited by one factor availability. Richardson said on average, a new gun for sale only lasts about 18 hours in the shop's display case before it is purchased.

There is more demand, but the supply is also down, said Monte Dabb of Dabbs Gun and Pawn in Southaven.

It's not abnormal for gun sales to spike around presidential elections an analysis of federal background check data by the New York Times reported in 2016 showed immense spikes in gun sales related to President Barack Obama's election.

Events that renew national conversation aroundgun regulations, like the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, also drive sales, The Times found.

Danny Metcalf, owner of Bullfrog Corner Pawn & Guns in Horn Lake said he's heard similar fears from regulars who come into his shop.

People are saying that if Biden gets elected everyone thinks hes going to cut the 2ndAmendment and do control gun, Metcalf said, noting he thinks his gun sales in part reflectthis concern.

The closer to the election we get the more guns were selling, Metcalf said.

This time, trainers say that the sustained level of interest started with concerns about economic collapse as the pandemic coursed through the U.S. and have stayed elevated as concerns of political violence hold steady in the Memphis-area populous.

Gun sales are up nationwide during the coronavirus pandemic and women are looking for firearm protection. Video Elephant

"Certainly elections are driving a lot of it," saidDonald Gregory, a licensed trainer at USA Training Academy in Bartlett. Like Richardson, Gregory said protests, and people's concerns about riots spilling into their communities are driving sales.

Training classes filled up immediately at USA Training Academy, Gregory said. "And they've stayed full. Everyone is so worried, upset, ornery. It's never been this bad in the U.S., and I was around for the Vietnam War."

One major retail source for firearms, Walmart Inc., opted to pull firearms and ammunition from storedisplays, citing isolated examples of civil unrest as the reason. The company reversed itsdecision a day later.

Beyond fears of Election Day violence, firearm trainers report other concerns behind the rush to carry.

Richardson noticedAsian-American were coming into the Cordova store, concerned about their personal safety amid dialed up rhetoric faultingChina for the pandemic.

"Once people started blaming China for COVID, I started seeing Asian-American customers come in, a lot of them first-time buyers. I'm talking little old grandmas too," Richardson said.

Jonathan Cross, a trainer withDauntless Tactical Training, said the demand for firearm training has been so significant in 2020, he was able to leave his full-time job in another industry.

But Cross sees something else besides wariness around elections or protests.

"It started out with COVID," Cross said. "Because people are concerned about the strain on society, economically. But I've also had a lot of people who are concerned about protecting themselves, in the event law enforcement won't be able to provide adequate protection for their neighborhoods."

Some new gun owners, Cross said, are worried about threats coming from law enforcement themselves.

When Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee introduced the idea of constitutional carry back in late February, Cross was a dissenting voice among firearms trainers who expressed grave concern about the end of a permit process in the state.

Voters in Tennessee share their thoughts on the importance of the 2020 election. Nashville Tennessean

Cross' reasoning, he said, had to do with what he called "the illusion of training," meaning training requirements were substandard. Having a permit to carry does not always equate to a well-trained and responsible gun owner.

Now with ownership surging across the U.S. and the Memphis area, Cross worries about the sheer volume of new gun owners being rushed through training.

"As far as the large uptick in new gun owners, people have not been under any disillusionment that they knew what to do with their gun," Cross said. "But I've had to teach them that the permit only teaches you about the law."

Cross emphasizes the need for constant, thorough training with his clients. But, he's not convinced that's the case with every gun instructor and gun range operator.

"I've seen a certain level of irresponsibility though, on that part of the traditional gun ranges. The traditional ranges are taking advantage of this large uptick, and they've become puppy mills for permits. Right now, it's low-hanging fruit," Cross said.

BEAVER FALLS His hands reveal the things that shaped his life.

On one, a ring with cobalt-blue stone flanked by diamonds, emblematic of an unparalleled career with Ford Motor Co.

On the other,ring bearing the insignia of the U.S. Marine Corps, representative of service to his country.

Quentin Strouss is a driven man driven to be the best.

Ive always been used to being No. 1, he said.

At his job, military unit, and sportsmens club.

Strouss, who celebrated his 90th birthday Oct. 23, holds another top distinction: the longest-employed salesman at Ron Lewis Ford, formerly Morrow Motors in Beaver Falls and quite possibly within Ford Motor Co. itself with 67 years.

We believe Quentin holds the record as the longest, career salesperson with Ford Motor Company, especially at the same location, said Gwen Lewis, co-president of Ron Lewis Automotive Group.

Weve checked with our contacts at Ford and they do not have records to that effect, but we issue the challenge to hear if anyone else nationally has a record more impressive than Quentins.

Oct. 30, however, Strouss shiftshis career to park and retires.

Why now?

He pauses a moment.

I dont really know. Naturally, Im beginning to feel my age, he said.

Mainly, its pride and that comes from the Marine Corps training, he said. When youre a Marine you have a pride like nobody else in the world.

Strouss thinks he no longer measures up to his own high standards.

Ive been No. 1 here for years and years and years, he said.

Thats not hyperbole. Strouss has sales records and awards to prove it.

We estimate that Quentins career sales are well over 12,000 at this point, Lewis said. He has earned the award as Ford Motor Company Salesperson of the Year in the Pittsburgh zone multiple times.

Strouss, she said, leads by example and serves as an inspiration to all of us with his work ethic, personal integrity, and positive attitude.

Strouss estimated he once sold 30 cars a month, but now those sales have dwindled and its hurt my pride ... You might as well say its just embarrassing to me from what I was.

Strouss started his sales careeron March 3, 1953, at 23.

It was a heady time for the automotive industry fueled by a postwar boom.

America was in love with cars and assembly lines rolled out head-turning works of art on wheels.

Gone were boxy frames and drab paint.

Cars sported sleek styles and sculpted looks: rakish tail fins; fancy grilles; excess chrome; white-walled tires and shiny hubcaps.

Giddy designers eschewed Henry Fords philosophy that any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.

Dreamy two-toned colors with exotic-sounding names like Bahama Blue, Polynesian Green and Bohemian Red decorated hoods and side panels.

Manufacturers touted bigger-bodied frames, roomy interiors, and powerful V-8 engines offering both comfort and performance. The decade saw the introduction of engineering features like power steering, push-button drive, swivel seats and transmissions so smooth that taking a drive was like floating on air.

The 50s witnessed the rollout of iconic models like the Corvette, Bel-Air, Thunderbird, Citroen and Aston Martin.

I was lucky enough to see the introduction of the Thunderbird, the introduction of the Mustang and that was a big deal. I saw all of them come out, Strouss said, and even owned T-birds and Mustangs.People were used to seeing these beautiful cars.

Even a cars name equated elegance and luxury: New Yorker, Continental, Crown Victoria.

Salesmen, too, looked the part of style and elegance.

Every day, Strouss dressed in suit and tie. The finishing touch: a trilby a narrow-brimmed, silk-banded felt hat perfectly creased on top.

That was the uniform for a car salesman, he said. Today, you watch the salesmen, they have short-sleeved shirts and regular trousers.

When he started, he worked from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week. Some Saturday nights, he worked alone.

I look back at that and I think my kids grew up and didnt know their father because of all the hours, he said. My two sons are growing up, theyre playing ball, and all their activities and I dont get there? Aw, thats hard to take.

Strouss has two sons, Brett of Patterson Township, and Mark of Crafton. He also has a grandson and granddaughter. His wife, Janice Marshall Strouss, died about 20 years ago.

On weekends through 1983 when he retired from the Marine Corps Reserves as a master gunnery sergeant, he trained new recruits.

And at 90, Strouss is no slacker.

I come in at 9 every morning and I can say I have been on time for 67 years, he said. He works until 5 or 6 p.m. every day except Wednesday and Saturday.

Of course, hes seen a lot in nearly seven decades.

In the early days, car companies literally kept new-car designs under wraps, augmenting the pent-up anticipation of deliveries to showrooms.

Semi-trailers hauled up to 10 vehicles shrouded in tarps with delivery often timed at night to guard the secrecy. Showroom windows were covered, too, until well-hypedunveiling celebrations.

"Any time a new model came out wed cover the showroom windows, Strouss said, but people would still try to sneak looks."

Frank Morrow, he said, was a real promoter.

We used to have parades. He would have the convoy trucks stop out at the turnpike and have a parade through town into New Brighton and back with all the new cars on these carriers. He and I would be in a pickup truck in the front with signs on the side See the New Fords with a loudspeaker and people would line up along the street. You wouldnt think of that today.

Today, many carslook alike.

In yesteryear, little kids could stand on the street and identify different makes and modelsdriving by.

Thats a Chevy. Thats a Pontiac. Thats a Buick, Strouss said. Today, I cant tell when they go by. Talk about cookie cutters its a crime.

Now, the top sellers arent cars, but SUVs and trucks.

A lot of manufacturers arent building cars anymore, he said. Its SUVs and trucks. And the young guys that used to have the hot rods, they have switched to trucks. Trucks are the big seller now.

The car business is in Strouss blood.

I was practically born in a Ford garage, he said.

His father, Harry Strouss, owned a dealership Strouss Motor Sales on Third Avenue in New Brighton.

The family lived across the street.

One memory remains vivid.

I remember one time I got into one of the cars and somehow let the brake off and the car drifted out into the middle of the main street and I got out and ran home, of course, before my dad could get me.

He was 6 on a warm, spring day in March 1936 when a downpour dropped nearly two inches of rain on the region already dealing with a winter that dumped 63 inches of snow. Snowmelt coupled with swollen creeks that fed into the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers resulted in a historic and devastating flood unlike any the region had experienced.

River levels reached a peak of 46 feet in Pittsburgh more than 20 feet over flood stage, according to the Heinz History Center, leaving more than half of the citys businesses under water.

After waters receded a week later, 62 people were dead, more than 500 injured, 135,000 left homeless, and millions of dollars in damage to homes, businesses, and industries, the center said.

That afternoon and evening, water pooled on New Brighton streets, too.

My dad called the chief of police, Strouss said.

Dont worry about it, Harry. Go to bed. I dont think it will get any higher, the chief said.

Well, we had to get out of the house, Strouss said. The water was that high in the dining room, he said, holding his hand up about 2 to 3 feet.

Everything was destroyed in the garage. Cars and everything. Wow, what a mess that was.

His father rebuilt on the other end of town.

For most of his school years, Strouss family lived in Beaver Falls. But after his parents divorced, he moved in with his father in Beaver and graduated from Beaver High School in 1948.

He worked at the former Westinghouse Electric in Vanport Township, now part of Eaton Corp., while at the same time entering the Marine Corps Reserves.

In 1950 as the country was entering the Korean War, he was called to active duty and sent to Parris Island in South Carolina for boot camp.

But he never served overseas.

They pulled me out of the replacement draft to Korea and sent me to school, he said. Strouss trained in aviation, mechanics and metal-smithing at military training sites in Jacksonville, Fla., Memphis, Tenn., and finally at an air station in Cherry Point, N.C., where he worked on helicopters.

The war ended, Strouss returned home and upon seeing him his dad said it was the first time I ever walked straight proof that the Marine Corps turned him into a man.

I think he was proud of me, Strouss said.

Strouss returned briefly to Westinghouse as a machine operator.

I just couldnt stand being cooped up like that. I was late going to work every day.

He knew he wouldnt last long.

At the time, Strouss father managed Morrow Ford for owner Frank Morrow, and helped his son get a job.

Talking with Strouss, you wouldnt believe it, but he said he was really shy. Frank Morrow sent me to Geneva College for a public-speaking course because I was so shy. I shouldnt have been after being in the Marine Corps.

Ford sent him to company sales-training schools at district headquarters in Pittsburgh.

It was periodic. Maybe Id go a week this month and two months later go for another week, he said.

He learned on the job, too.

We studied all the (car) features. You knew everything about the cars, he said.

Among his first sales was to a couple that lived across the street from his father.

I dont know that they wanted to buy a Ford, but I showed them every little feature that was on that Customline, four-door sedan ... They bought the car just because I spent so much time showing them all the features.

It was that interest not only in the vehicle but the customer that garnered Strouss so many repeat customers, some spanning multiple generations.

People put their trust in me, he said. Thats great. The boss here (Steve Peterson) tells the story that he felt like a greeter for Quentin Strouss. He said people would come in and they would only talk to me and if I didnt get to them before the end of the day, theyd come back the next day.

To succeed in car sales, Strouss said you have to be sincere and you have to be honest and you should know your products…Get to know the people before you even talk about cars. Get to know them their needs and wants.

In retirement, Strouss plans to remain active in the Beaver Valley Sportsmans Club where two to three days a week he visits the trap-shooting range and shoots clay pigeons.

Hell also take walks with his beloved companion Jake, a 3-year-old beagle-hound mix he rescued from a shelter in Canfield, Ohio.

Dogs, he said, provide company and entertainment.

You never come home that theyre not wagging their tail, greeting you happily, he said. You say your prayers at night bless this, bless that you never think about that animal that is such a part of your family.

Strouss said the good Lord has been awful good to me. Kept me on the right side of the grass for 90 years.
