Tampa, Florida:  In this episode of the show we take you behind the scenes at Payroll Transfers. With customers in 37 states, there is a chance that you might want to say "Thanks" to Marc Moore the next time you get a check! Marc is the president/founder of Payroll Transfers and he tells us how they have grown despite the fact that they have hundreds of competitors. A member of the Council of Growing Companies, this segment is affectionately called, the "Sliver of Genius."

We all have a sliver of genius. When you hear the rest of story, you'll want to understand how to get yours working!

Since our production of this episode of the show, Marc sold his business to an investment group, Odyssey Investment Partners. His business was renamed EPIX. That business is now ranked #108 on the Forbes 2002 list of America's Largest Private Companies (maybe that's a sequel story)!

As for Marc, nothing holds him back. He has started his next venture, technology business, DTNet.com. From engineering to installation, it provides flexible, high speed solutions and alternatives to local area and wide area network users.
