I've had the pleasure of meeting Liana Lehua at the Blog World Expo and she is one of the most kind and joy giving persons out there. Currently her company is in a bit of a bind. Liana has been sick since October 4th, and is currently located in an LA hospital. With bills piling up, Podango, Inc. is being forced to liquidate the SF office's assets. Adam Jackson, a very good friend of Liana is attempting to save the studio. Podango, Inc. CEO has offered a way to salvage the space. Adam explains from his blog post: My best friend mysteriously went missing on October 4th. I’ve been desperately spending my days trying to find her when I learned she was in the hospital in LA… Here’s the problem with this situation. I worked for her part time as an assistant…She was over the day to day activities of the studio as the sole employee and I helped out. Well, she’s been missing for all of these days. We’ve lost every contract and we are 17 days behind on paying bills. I’ve spoken to the CEO of the company in Utah and here’s the deal. He’s going to close the studios on Monday and liquidate the nearly 50 thousand dollars in audio equipment. I pleaded with him and he told me that if I can get 4 grand in contracts for the space for this month then we can save the studio.
Adams can keep the studio open if he can find people willing to rent out the space before Monday! Adam gives more details about the space and the what comes included with the rental on his blog post. In the first 10 mins of this video from Blog World Expo is Liana Lehua.
