About Roger Brown and TRAVELER FROM THE PAST:
Roger Brown began his driving career at 11, driving a truck, pulling a hay wagon while three men, including my father, loaded baled hay on a 160-acre ranch in Banning, CA. Picked cotton two seasons starting at 12. Next driving job at 15 delivering sand, gravel, and building supplies with a dump truck in Topanga Canyon. It was larger 18-wheel rigs moving livestock, logs, locomotives, and heavy equipment, including rigs with 9-axles and 120 ft. in length. Cleaning up railroad train wrecks brought me to equipment operating, including 100-ton cranes. I fought forest and wildland fires during 55 years operating dozers and excavators. Worked as a diesel mechanic for several trucking companies and offshore oil drilling platforms—packed mules for three seasons in the National Parks.
More About Author Roger Brown
Travel was instigated at an early age; by 19, I had been to forty-seven states and four foreign countries. At 53 took early retirement, bought an ocean blue water sailboat, and set out on an epic voyage for the past 28 years.
In between all of this designed and built timber homes in the California Sierras, and the blacksmith work and designed and built straw bale homes in Central Mexico and built roads in the jungle along the Mexican Coast. Currently, I have published my new book “Traveler from the Past”. Read this book to experience my traveling and life experiences.

A wine and spirits brokerage business, TNV was inspired by Justin’s experience working in the wine department of a supermarket in Washington, DC.

Easypost has grown into a billion dollar leader in the logistics technology space.

Specialties: Business process reengineering, change management, contract negotiation, government and provider affairs, regulatory compliance, legislative advocacy, program and policy development, product design, proposal writing, market expansion, asset management, housing development, financial analysis and reporting and business operations.
COMMITMENT TO EQUITY STATEMENT
United Way of Central Maryland promotes equity, creates opportunity, and improves lives by increasing access to education, employment, health, and housing. We achieve equity by dismantling systemic and institutional barriers underrepresented communities face in pursuit of happiness and the quest to realize their dreams.
We respect and value all people without regard to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin or citizenship status, age or ability status. We expect our partner organizations, grantees, staff, volunteers, board members, vendors, and key collaborators to uphold these standards.
OUR COMMUNITY
United Way commits to pursuing a more just, fair, and equitable society where one’s background does not predict future outcomes.
We vigorously reject and vehemently oppose racism, sexism, discrimination, prejudice, and injustice in all forms.
We believe access to opportunities need not be predicated by one’s race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or social characteristics.
Our mission is to empower leaders and mobilize the caring power of communities to improve lives. As a leader in uniting and motivating others for good, we tackle tough problems by co-creating solutions with change agents and grassroots leaders representing all walks of life.
We amplify the power and impact of neighborhood leaders and link them to much-needed resources to bring about real change.
OUR PEOPLE
United Way believes in a diverse workforce reflecting the richness and vibrancy of the community we serve.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion principles drive our work and undergird our vision of an inclusive workplace where differences are embraced, and employees feel a real sense of belonging. These same ideals are shared by our board members, donors, and volunteers.
OUR IMPACT
We apply an equity lens to our neighborhood initiatives and impact work, to ensure that clients and community stakeholders representing different backgrounds maintain equitable access to services, support, and resources.
We are committed to responsible community investment and the equitable distribution of grant funds.
We seek to strengthen families by ensuring sustainable employment that pays a wage that allows for a secure place to call home, access to healthcare and healthy food, and education.
Far too often, historical inequities and institutional racism result in deeper educational disparities among students of diverse backgrounds, particularly students of color. By supporting the potential of young people striving for a quality education, we can significantly improve postsecondary outcomes and access to stable employment.
We employ evidence-based approaches to address complex community needs. By listening actively and gathering data about the challenges facing those in our region, we craft evidence-based solutions that will stand the test of time.
We disaggregate data by race and gender to address disparities, unearth structural inequities, and generate actionable solutions to deep-seated, systemic challenges.
We will keep you updated on our progress.
About Bill Hinshaw and Cobol Cowboys:
Experienced Founder and CEO with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology industry.
Proven expertise in systems architect, development, integration and support of mainframe software for banking and state government. Experienced in starting companies for software design, development, support and deliverables. Highly skilled in COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM, MQ, Assembler and related mainframe and server products.
Expert witness in matters related to systems integration vs. database interfaces. Testified at State of New Jersey Senate Hearings on Unemployment Claims. AI advisory role for debugging & documenting COBOL programs.
Strong business professional — attended Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, Indiana. Appointed Director of Data Processing by Governor of Indiana to implement mainframe computer services.
Founded and headquartered in North Texas, Cobol Cowboys provides professionals for legacy COBOL systems and other programming environments. Our name, Cobol Cowboys, was inspired by the movie “Space Cowboys” in which experienced (some retired) astronauts were called back into service to solve a current day problem in outer space.
After researching many published articles (both positive and negative) on the future life of COBOL, we came away with renewed confidence in its continued life in the coming years. Since COBOL is still the programming foundation and under-structure used today in most USA and International companies, we founded Cobol Cowboys in North Texas to provide professionals for legacy COBOL Systems and non-COBOL systems.
This renewed confidence in COBOL is supported by IBM’s strategies to keep COBOL robust and evergreen as a viable programming language today and years to come. These strategies are evidenced by IBM’s continued enhancements which allow COBOL and Java to run together on mainframes and to take advantage of the latest industry-driven database products (such as DB2 and SQL).
Furthermore, COBOL has been enhanced to develop “object oriented” code in addition to its time-proven legacy code still in use today. These and other programming enhancements offered by IBM keep COBOL a state-of-the-art programming solution.
We offer experienced COBOL (and other software) professionals in various vertical markets; including banking, government, insurance, health care, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation and others.

About Wayne Goshkarian and Dylan Consulting:
Wayne Goshkarian is more an entrepreneur than an insurance broker. His career in the insurance industry has been one of continuous refinement –– reinventing and improving standard practices and implementing a range of cutting-edge systems.=
Today, he is the Founder and President of Dylan Consulting, LLC, a Scottsdale, AZ firm that develops advanced solutions necessary for the marketplace in an ever-changing world –– including the developing gig economy.
Association for Entrepreneurship, USA (AFEUSA) is one of Wayne’s clients and he serves as director of communication for the organization, as well as providing key marketing support for its member insurance programs.
Dylan Consulting has secured more than ten name-brand carriers with guaranteed issue products for AFEUSA. Beyond that, Dylan’s IT Department went above and beyond to develop an updated, “end-to-end” online, Amazon-like enrollment system that feeds APIs directly to TPAs. Wayne found that many IT platforms look good on the front end, but the back ends tend to be 5-20 years old. His team solved all that.
A History of Innovation
Wayne has specialized in individual health coverage for non-standard risk individuals, a first-to-market laptop-enrollment system in 1994, and was one of the first to pioneer a laptop enrollment system in 1999. All these innovations improved the communication of core and voluntary benefits for enrollees.
Since the 1980s, Wayne has developed his extensive experience in financial and estate planning for groups large and small, both fully insured and self-funded, in addition to owning a worksite marketing enrollment company to serve groups as large as 60,000 employees. This has given him firsthand expertise within the individual and group space.
It’s important to note that the industry commission system hasn’t changed in at least 50 years while business costs continue to climb. Wayne’s visionary goal is to create solutions that support reliable and credible distribution long-term — years ahead of what the insurance industry is thinking.
The insurance industry has been slow-moving with minor changes from year to year. Some of the changes were a result of consumer demand, while many others came from regulators requiring these changes. Then came the Affordable Care Act (ACA), when everything changed, and we know the history in that. Dylan Consulting provides solutions that meet the needs of today. We’ll assist in managing clients’ programs and guide our clients into the future with insight and vision.
Company Vision
The Dylan Consulting Vision is to provide exceptional service by staying ahead of changes in market conditions before they even reach the insurance industry. This approach is not often seen, but Dylan Consulting is taking the lead in the industry and in consulting its clients.
People looking at bar charts and graphs on a desk
Dylan Consulting values an old-fashioned approach to business in which the client comes first. We place the needs and interests of our clients before our own to ensure they are met and surpassed. Without a doubt, our clients are our most important asset.
Insurance Consulting at its Finest
As we strive to be the top consulting firm in the U.S., we’ll work tirelessly to apply our forward-thinking method to address the needs of our clients. By staying one step ahead, we help clients to get the tools they need to get back to doing what they do best.

About Orrin Hudson and Be Someone, Inc.:
Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson is a former Alabama state trooper, Air Force veteran, and world renowned chess champion. He is the author of the #1 Amazon best seller, One Move at a Time, How to Win at Chess and Life. He is a captivating speaker/facilitator and is the founder of Be Someone, a Georgia-based nonprofit which provides a youth-focused leadership skills development program on how to win in life using the game of chess. His formula – using the chess board – teaches that for every move that is made, whether it is playing the game or living as a contributing citizen, there is a corresponding positive or negative consequence.
Hudson has traveled across America successfully providing his unique, exciting and engaging curriculum to over 88,000 young people. Support for the organization has included Jane Fonda, Tyler Perry, Steve Harvey as well as other celebrities. He has also appeared on Good Morning America, the CBS Early Morning Show, CNN, FOX & Friends and has been on the cover of the world’s largest chess magazine, Chess Life and People. Hudson and his Be Someone organization has also been featured on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, in USA Today, Essence Magazine, Sports Illustrated for Teens, Jet, Black Enterprise and Time Magazine for Kids.
Hudson’s ultimate vision is to serve one million at risk students using his motivating mantra: “Get Your Heads-Up!!, Pants-Up! and Grades-Up!, and most of all, to “Never Give Up! – No Matter What!”
In 2001, Orrin C. Hudson, whose methods were inspired by the game of chess, founded Be Someone, which is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that uses numerous tools, including the game of chess, to promote self-esteem, responsibility, and analytical thinking among children in underserved communities.
The mission of Be Someone is to build character, hope, and inspiration so that kids can set and achieve lifetime goals, realize their full potential, and Be Someone.
“Making Every Move Count” refers to the belief that success in chess and success in life require the same fundamentals, including concentration, self-esteem, problem solving skills, and discipline. Be Someone teaches kids the practical skills and techniques to overcome obstacles in life, illustrated through the best and most intellectual visual aid: the chessboard.
We hear a lot these days about crime and violence in some of our local schools and communities but unfortunately news about the good things seldom gets any attention. Today, Orrin C. Hudson is making a change:
“This is less about chess and more about building character. Love, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Patience, are five character traits that are essential to success. If we have the brightest children in the world and they don’t have character, the schools have failed them and this nation has failed them. Really, Be Someone is priceless. After all, it is the moral development of the whole child that will determine their success in life.”
When you do noble things, you help out other people and society and it makes you feel good.

About Luke Van Der Veer and Website Rental Coaching:
After trying multiple business models in an attempt to create passive income, Luke invested tens of thousands of dollars in SEO training as a last ditch effort to escape Corporate America. With the goal of time freedom, he built an SEO agency, only to learn that client work was no different from a job. Luke shut down his agency, let go of his clients, and began treating websites like real estate. Instead of working on client sites, he started building his own lead generation websites and renting them out to businesses. By charging monthly “rent” in exchange for exclusive leads, Luke was able to use passive website rentals to kill his corporate job in under a year. His ex-clients took notice and several of them asked to learn the process, so Luke created a coaching program to teach it. Now, in addition to expanding his 7-figure website rental portfolio and acquiring local businesses, Luke helps business owners generate their own leads, create more streams of passive income, build wealth, and take full control of their time.
Luke is the founder of Website Rental Coaching. WRC teaches people how to create true passive income by building and renting out websites to local businesses. Members learn cutting edge SEO and a repeatable, step-by-step process that can be easily outsourced and scaled. As a digital landlord, you can recapture control of your time.
Website Rental Coaching teaches people how to create a passive income by renting lead generation websites to local businesses.
Our coaching clients are an even split of 9-5’ers and business owners, all of whom share a desire for time freedom. The 9-5’ers are often looking to replace their full-time incomes and quit their jobs. Some of them love what they do; others hate it, but all of them want more control over their schedule.
Many of the 9-5’ers have tried to build businesses on the side before, or they already run successful side hustles, earning money with affiliate marketing, eBay, Amazon, dropshipping, network marketing, or MLM.
The business owners want more control over their schedules too. Most of them own rental properties or invest in real estate, and quite a few of them have also tried one or more side hustles.

About Erica Salm Rench and Rasa.io:
After working in enrollment management where she focused on recruitment strategy and marketing, Erica managed a team of online marketers at the largest digital marketing company in the Gulf South. There, she supported the web development, SEO, online advertising, and content marketing teams in executing strategies which elevated organizations to stand out and be seen amongst the chaos of the online marketplace. Now, as the COO at rasa.io, she gets to blend her love of digital marketing technology and email in order to support the incredible community of rasa.io customers.
We’re a results-driven, goal-oriented company comprised of a collaborative, creative, and passionate team. We value employee growth, work-life balance, and each other — we share appreciation between team members regularly and enthusiastically.
The Core Purpose of an organization describes its “why” – the reason it exists. At a fundamental level, a Core Purpose must evoke a deeply and emotionally meaningful response across a broad swath of people far removed from the company.
Demand diversity in thought
We demand all of our team members seek out ideas beyond their own. Diverse ideas often come from diverse people and sources. We are creative and seek to turn over stones and solicit ideas from people who may not always be first to share them.
Simpler is better
Find the simplest possible way to solve each problem. Unnecessary steps, features, or processes must be cut with extreme discipline.
Tell it like it is
No matter what, say what you mean and mean what you say. Do this while practicing empathetic listening.
Learn by doing
We are not afraid to start things with little information or insight, experiment, fail, iterate and try again. We strive to find the best way to solve hard problems with a bias towards action. We work hard to share our learning along the way so that we can get better as individuals and as a team.
Measure it
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. Measure everything that you are shooting for and tell it like it is along the way.
Own it
As a team and as individuals, we own our individual outcomes end to end. When we sign up for something, we get it done. As a team, there is no “they,” there is only “us” and “we,” and we all own our success together. We vigorously debate our goals once we set them; even if we don’t all agree, we all own them together.
Celebrate success
Celebrating success means celebrating success and the steps that lead to the success. We embrace failures along the way and the need to start from a position of inexperience.
About Robin Hills and Ei4Change:
Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. My specialism is emotional intelligence focusing on the appropriate use of emotion by supporting personality and behaviour in business to increase productivity and success at work.
Instead of reading my profile, here is a link to a two minute video about my skills and experience - https://youtu.be/fPD-C7RFZeY.
My experience ranges over 40 years' working with small start-ups to large multinationals in commercial areas, in project management and in line management.

The personality and behavioural assessments I use include Myers Briggs Type Indicator (Step I and II), DISC (to an advanced level), and Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0), including 360 assessments (EQ-i 2.0 360). I am also a certified TetraMap facilitator. These help me to help you to understand yourself better and how you can improve your relationships with others.
I have the British Psychological Society Test User Occupational Ability (Level A) and Occupational Personality (Level B) certificates meaning that I can select from a range of assessments to assess aptitude and aspects of personality and behaviour.

It's about broadening our horizons and encountering diverse viewpoints that challenge our own. It's these diverse viewpoints that can lead us to truly innovative solutions when tackling complex issues.
I am passionate about the transformative power of digital technology in healthcare, how to shed light on complex topics, and turn them into easily understandable visuals.
Pycube is uniquely positioned to help hospitals across the asset management lifecycle better manage and better utilize their key assets with services and intelligent technology platforms that make a real difference every day.
About Matt Plaskoff and One Week Bath:
My focus is to build outstanding service companies that provide our clients with unique solutions to their remodeling and building needs. We are efficiency and value driven. Training, processes and open communication make our team members the best in the business.
Specialties: Bathroom Remodeling, Custom Home remodeling and building, kitchen remodeling, consulting, Design and Build process management, value engineering.
At One Week Bath we offer a hassle-free, all-in-one, custom remodeling process that is completed without you ever leaving home. No subcontractors, no delays. We guarantee that we'll finish on time, or we pay you for every day we are late!
Our years of experience help you create the bathroom of your dreams with the best products available. It's as simple as one phone call, one design meeting and one week of construction. We handle the details, permitting, inspections, product issues and the installation.
There is nothing easy about bathroom remodeling. It’s one of the smallest spaces in the home, yet it demands the greatest amount of detail and attention. The bathroom is an area of construction where size doesn’t translate to ease, cost or speed; in fact, its complexity is measured in details and systems, not square feet.
Based in Los Angeles, One Week Bath is an independent bathroom remodeling company that has expanded to also serve Orange County, Ventura, Inland Empire and all of Southern California. The innovation of contractor & entrepreneur Matt Plaskoff, our mission is to eliminate the risk & stress of bathroom remodeling, making overall customer experience & beautiful design the priority. We have completed thousands of beautiful bathroom remodels since our inception in 2000.
Why am I qualified to make that statement? In one way or another, I’ve been involved in over 3700 bathroom remodels since I started my career over 30 years ago. Some of those projects were routine, and some were the height of complexity, precision and pressure.
I feel enormously fortunate that for over 3 decades, I ran a very successful Los Angeles construction company and design group – Plaskoff Construction. I’m also blessed to have served as the Lead Construction Consultant for ABC’s most successful hit prime-time remodeling TV show of all time – Extreme Makeover Home Edition. However, even with all of that amazing opportunity behind me, the bulk of my most valuable professional experience has been as the Owner and Operator of One Week Bath.
I knew that if I was going to make One Week Bath a success, I was going to have to come up with a way to eliminate the common problems associated with construction.
I had a vision to bring an overall enjoyment to the process, and not just for the customer – but for me. Let’s face it, it’s hard to motivate for work every day when you’re forever dealing with problems, flaky people, inconsistent suppliers, defective products… and excuses.
My thought was – if I just could eliminate the excuses and obstacles in the process, my job would be fun.
When it came to One Week Bath, I took everything I learned from my experiences… million dollar mansions to humble abodes, to create a new approach to remodeling. One Week Bath started in 2000 and has been a success story since our very first customer. It’s a company that was founded on innovation and reinvention, making great results and overall customer satisfaction the priority. I am happy to report our success continues to be measured by each and every new project.
Since 2000, we’ve designed and remodeled thousands of custom bathrooms. Our process provides everyone involved in the project a sense of accomplishment. Our customers have an easy and enjoyable end-to-end remodeling experience, and our staff takes pride in a job well done – every day.

About Azzedine Downes and International Fund for Animal Welfare:
When Azzedine Downes became President and CEO of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in 2012, one thing was clear to him: "Talking to people who already agreed with us just isn’t enough to get real results."
As IFAW’s Executive Vice President since 1997, Azzedine had worked closely with experts from across the sciences and decision makers from around the world. But when he became President, IFAW started bringing together what Azzedine likes to call “the unusual suspects.” Seamstresses in Malawi. Auction houses in China. Working together, IFAW’s eclectic network is now helping animals and people thrive together in more than 40 countries.
Azzedine has led IFAW through a groundbreaking period of geographic expansion and strategic consolidation. He’s helped open offices on four continents, including IFAW’s first office in the Middle East.
Azzedine has also influenced international policies to create positive change on the ground. In Azzedine’s first year as President, IFAW signed a historic lease agreement with a Maasai community near Amboseli National Park in Kenya, securing 16,000 acres of precious habitat for elephants. Months later, Azzedine helped establish a first-of-its-kind cooperative framework between IFAW and INTERPOL’s Environmental Crime Program. For years, Azzedine has served as the Head of the Delegation to the CITES Conference of the Parties. And recently, he directed IFAW’s successful campaign for membership to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Before joining IFAW, Azzedine served as the Chief of Party for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Jerusalem and Morocco, as well as the Acting Regional Director for the United States Peace Corps in Eurasia and the Middle East.
In 2015, Fast Company named Azzedine one of the “The Most 100 Creative People in Business,” and he has been listed among The NonProfit Times’s “Power and Influence Top 50.” He is a member of the Global Tiger Forum Advisory Council, and he currently sits on the U.S. Trade and Environmental Policy Advisory Committee.
Named to the prestigious Council for Hope of the Jane Goodall Legacy Foundation in 2023, Azzedine joins a group of prominent global thought and business leaders committed to using their influence to improve the world around us.
A graduate of Providence College and Harvard University, Azzedine is fluent in Arabic, English, and French.
His personal memoir, The Couscous Chronicles: Stories of Food, Love, And Donkeys from a Life Between Cultures, was published in June 2023.
IFAW explores new ways to improve conditions for animals, people, and the place we call home—and we’ve been leading the way for over 50 years. The problems we confront are urgent, complicated, and resistant to change. Solving them requires fresh thinking and bold action. So we look at the issues from different angles, make unexpected connections, and challenge the way things are done. Partnering with local communities, NGOs, and governments around the globe.
we create real-world solutions that make an immediate and lasting impact.

About Buck Mims and National Public Safety Group:
Buck is active in the ministry at Grace Church of Southern Pines, where and his wife Kimberly also counsel individuals and married couples. Buck and Kimberly are also the proud parents of two adult children and their little Shih Tzu, Layla Lu Mims.
I have over 33 years in the public safety arena. For years, I worked in public safety software sales at a Tier 1 provider, with considerable experience implementing large consortium systems, including one 10 County system of CAD, RMS, Mobile, and Civil software. With all of the volatility in the software market, I started National Public Safety Group, so we could offer a consulting firm that really understood the Public Safety Software industry.
Having been a sworn officer myself for over 30 years, I also have a passion to help agencies. I have always been an advocate to ensure my customers were taken care of, which isn't always easy in corporate America. That is not the case at our company. We are 100% going above and beyond to give great service and value to them. We guarantee our services by providing a cancel anytime contract, so if you are not happy with our work, you are not stuck in a contract.
We will live and die by our service and value, and I can do that because I know we will give our customers our best. I am very excited about all we are doing today and what is coming over the next few years.
At NPSG, you are assigned a team specific to your needs. We have subject matter experts for each solution and phase of your project.
As we are a concierge consulting firm, each project is assigned a project manager, the appropriate subject matter experts for products, selection experts, and procurement experts. Having our team providing you with facts and putting things in the appropriate context allows your agency to make smart and educated decisions. This helps out agencies and their software providers have more successful projects.
This level of involvement is part of our standard concierge service. Our goal is to take the work load off of your team and anxiety out of your project.
As our consultants mainly come from public safety and working at public safety software companies, we understand what it means to have a strong partnership with your provider. So part of our goal is very importantly to help build a strong relationship with the software provider and your agency.
We don’t just say we focus mainly on software. We highly focus on the public safety software industry, it’s products and providers.

About Wayne Goshkarian and Dylan Consulting, LLC:
Wayne Goshkarian is more an entrepreneur than an insurance broker. His career in the insurance industry has been one of continuous refinement, reinventing and improving standard practices and implementing a range of cutting-edge systems.
Today, he is the Founder and President of Dylan Consulting, LLC, a Scottsdale, AZ firm that develops advanced solutions necessary for the marketplace in an ever-changing world, including the developing gig economy.
Association for Entrepreneurship, USA (AFEUSA) is one of Wayne’s clients and he serves as director of communication for the organization, as well as providing key marketing support for its member insurance programs.
Dylan Consulting has secured more than ten name-brand carriers with guaranteed issue products for AFEUSA. Beyond that, Dylan’s IT Department went above and beyond to develop an updated, “end-to-end” online, Amazon-like enrollment system that feeds APIs directly to TPAs. Wayne found that many IT platforms look good on the front end, but the back ends tend to be 5-20 years old. His team solved all that.
A History of Innovation
Wayne has specialized in individual health coverage for non-standard risk individuals, a first-to-market laptop-enrollment system in 1994, and was one of the first to pioneer a laptop enrollment system in 1999. All these innovations improved the communication of core and voluntary benefits for enrollees.
Since the 1980s, Wayne has developed his extensive experience in financial and estate planning for groups large and small, both fully insured and self-funded, in addition to owning a worksite marketing enrollment company to serve groups as large as 60,000 employees. This has given him firsthand expertise within the individual and group space.
It’s important to note that the industry commission system hasn’t changed in at least 50 years while business costs continue to climb. Wayne’s visionary goal is to create solutions that support reliable and credible distribution long-term — years ahead of what the insurance industry is thinking.
Dylan Consulting is focused on advanced solutions for the marketplace and you as the broker/consulting. Our industry has not changed much, but the world has changed a lot. We provide group filed products, modern Amazon like technology and a modern-day commissions system to help grow and retain your business long term.
Our specialty is not the industry standard of progress but advance well beyond that to give you tools that advance your client, the insured and your agency in an ever changing world.
The insurance industry only changes when there is government regulation or when another carrier has something they want the same. We have seen this for 47 years
Dylan Consulting has developed the name brand carrier partners, guaranteed issue products down to 1 person, technology that is Amazon like enrollment experience, and commissions system to build your company without pouring more money into it.

About Gven Sariol and ARCrypto:
Gven Sariol and Jethro Magat started the ARC in January of 2018 at the tail end of the 2016-2018 bull run and never thought it would morph into what it has become today. After experiencing some initial temporary setbacks, Gven went on sabbatical and experienced an epiphany that changed the course of ARC for good.
Realizing that the cryptocurrency market was about to erupt on a massive scale, Gven and Jet knew that their business of teaching people cryptocurrency was far from over. Both Gven and Jet saw the inequities that the current fiat currency system had, and knew that crypto could solve many aspects of this unbalanced and unfair system.
After this epiphany, Gven and Jet started looking into the different ways that people could make money in crypto as passively as possible, when DEFI changed everything. In June of 2020 Gven completed his sabbatical and decided to embark on a move to Miami, later spontaneously deciding to stay in Denver. This was where the ARC began its initial roots, with three of its first team members.
As time passed, Gven and the ARC began to refine what they were teaching into a format that was so easy anyone could learn, despite how complex crypto can be. As the DEFI sector began to mature, the ARC began to add staff members from within.
Slowly. By the end of 2021 the ARC started gaining a lot of steam and went from a $30,000 per month business at its highest in June, to a $400,000 per month business in November of 2021. As of January 2022 the ARC has trained the brightest students, formulating a new more effective way to teach and is now taking our onboarding of new students and education to the next level.
The ARC was not created solely for profit. Gven and Jet started the ARC with one primary intention: to bring as many people as possible to crypto so they can have the opportunity to even out the playing field instead of being at the mercy of the government, banks and institutions. The ARC aims to be an authority in DEFI and the crypto community, operating as experts in this field with the highest integrity in the business.
I’m passionate about bringing crypto to the masses during this greatest wealth transfer of all time; and devoted to building a community to accomplish this. I believe that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are the way of the future, and should be accessible to everyone.
In the last four years I have helped over 500 students generate six-figure passive income by teaching them the ropes of cryptocurrency and decentralized finance. I work 1on1 with people who are seriously ready to grow their portfolios to create lives of financial freedom.
Out-of-the-box thinking is now no longer just a necessity - it is a common interest for good. I help my students to entirely remove themselves from the traditional banking system. If we all learn how to become our own bank and utilize our skills, the market will be better for it.
Many people can call themselves ‘crypto gurus’, but my passion for ensuring my students actually understand what I am telling them is what sets the ARC program apart. I am not here to make money from teaching; I am here to teach how we can all make money.
I’ve spoken on stages across the U.S. as founder of ARCrypto and cryptocurrency mentor at the forefront of this movement. I teach my students how to safely enter crypto investing with personally tailored coaching that includes many topics, such as security, smart contracts, staking, farming, and of course, how to use DeFi and NFTs to act as your own bank.
I take pride in teaching students. My team and I reinvest all the profits. We don’t just teach crypto; we practice what we preach. For that reason, we don’t make money off our sales. Instead, we compound money using our talent and skills. Mass adoption cannot come to fruition if those of us who know the secrets don’t let people in.

About Risa Gold MD and Miracle of Help:
Risa Gold MD, DLFAPA is a board-certified Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Cold Spring Harbor, NY. She graduated Cum Laude from Harvard, and earned her medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Gold completed a residency in Psychiatry at Payne Whitney Clinic, New York Hospital, Cornell and a Fellowship in Child Adolescence Psychiatry at North Shore University Hospital. After serving as the President of the Greater Long Island Psychiatric Society, Dr. Gold was awarded Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. Dr. Gold has been in private practice since 1987. After her son returned from a medical service outreach trip in Sierra Leone, he alerted her to the pressing need for health care services in these remote and vulnerable villages. Dr. Gold started MOH USA, Inc to raise funds for a community-led project that would comprise a hospital complex and several small businesses to support it. She is married to Dr. Kenneth Gold & has raised four children.
Miracle of Help is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit using a community-led development model to help communities mobilize and design solutions that address their overall social and healthcare needs. Sierra Leone has the second highest infant mortality rate in the world. Inspired by firsthand accounts of the poverty and lack of medical services for pregnant women in eastern Sierra Leone, Miracle of Help (MOH) is helping the community build a Maternal Child Health Post (MCHP), for safe childbirth and pre- and post-natal care. The center is located in the village of Ngolahun, a village of slightly over 2,000 people, with no electricity or running water. Four smaller villages within walking distance (total population 2,000) will also receive services from the MCHP.
During our monthly pop-up clinics our doctors have diagnosed some form of malnutrition in 80% of the children they see (see photos). As of the end of May 2022, we established two malnutrition clinics for severe and moderate acute malnutrition for children under the age of five. Our staff was trained by clinicians from Project Peanut Butter & Partners in Health, and both clinics have been certified by the Sierra Leone government. Since the inception of the clinics, twenty-five children have been rescued from malnutrition and their mothers given jobs selling soap to support them. Currently, twenty-seven children are enrolled in the two clinics. The mothers learn how to make Bennimix (provided by MOH), a blend of nutritive food substances to feed their children.

StoneAge Inc. is the world’s leading provider of industrial cleaning tools, automated equipment, technology, and resources. Founded in 1979, StoneAge is headquartered in Durango, Colorado, and proudly serves customers across 35 countries worldwide. Our team is 100% comprised of employee-owners, providing a level of service and dedication rarely seen in today’s work environment. It starts with the tools, but ends with our people, our culture, and our values.
StoneAge was born for two reasons: to help solve challenging industrial cleaning problems and create engaging and rewarding jobs for its employees. StoneAge's first product was intended for use in the mining industry – it was a water jet drill used to drill holes for explosives in uranium mining applications. When the Three Mile Accident happened in the late '70s, nuclear power generation halted, and there was no longer a market for the tool.
The founders pivoted when they met an industrial cleaning contractor who said, "If you can drill holes in the rock, you can drill out the fouling in the heat exchanger!" That's how we moved from mining to industrial cleaning. We are now the world's leading manufacturer of waterblasting tooling and automated equipment for industrial cleaning applications. Think high-tech squirt guns on steroids.

About Christian Elliot and TRUE Whole Human:
Christian has been a coach since 2005...logging over 15,000 hours of 1-1 coaching. His quest to heal led him to personally use over three dozen different alternative modalities. He is an author, speaker, and educator, and (with Nina) built one of the most holistic, brick-and-mortar, fitness-and-wellness businesses ever seen.
I help people solve the "knowing vs. doing" problem when it comes to health.
Typically our clients are in one of three situations:
Those whose health has slipped away because overwhelmed with the complexities of work and family life.
People near the tail end of that season (i.e. empty-nesters) who are motivated to get their health in order, or 3) people who have just had a come-to-Jesus meeting with their doctor and need to make a significant change fast.
Through high-touch, personal coaching we help people clear the excuses, develop a new mindset, rebuild their health, and let better health emerge as a side effect of personal development. In short, we get them on the path to living their best life.
How do we do it? We Coach the Whole Human.
We blend holistic health coaching, the science of behavioral change, and the power of transformative human psychology. We break down the essential components of healthy living into bite-size steps to help you achieve an outstanding level of vitality without crashing your schedule, draining your willpower (or bank account!), or sacrificing your social life.
Your current health wasn't created in a vacuum. Your strategy to change your health shouldn't be either. To create a plan that works it has to be designed within the larger context of your life, and account for your situation and life ambitions. Otherwise, you'll only revisit familiar plateaus and never change your body, health, wellness, or fitness for good.
My wife and business partner Nina bring a combined 30 years of elite experience helping people get lasting results, reclaim personal power, and gain the confidence to get their mojo back. We bring this lasting impact to clients virtually through small group and 1-1 coaching.
As full-time health coaches since 2005, including nine years running brick-and-mortar locations, we've seen a LOT. One thing that stands out is that most "experts" tend to be so specialized, they don't see the whole human right in front of them.
We're the only coaching program that blends a deep understanding of health, human nature, emotional intelligence, relationship skills, and project management into a life-changing journey.

About Richard Godshall and Ostroff Godshall Injury and Accident Lawyers:
Rich Godshall is the owner and managing partner of the Firm. Rich is an experienced trial attorney whose practice focuses on catastrophic injuries caused by car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, and construction site and electrocution accidents. He is the Firm’s most seasoned trial attorney with multiple six and seven-figure verdicts and settlements. Rich oversees an inventory of over 700 personal injury cases with his team of 8 lawyers and 35 staff members. Rich’s trial successes include a $450,000 verdict on a case where the defendant made a $1,000 offer, and a $950,000 verdict on a case where the defendant made a $25,000 offer.
Rich started his legal career about 20 years ago doing defense work for larger companies and insurance carriers. He was named as the youngest partner in a 100-lawyer-plus regional defense firm but quickly realized that he was better suited working for those that were injured, not against them. This was never more obvious to Rich than when his dad, a union carpenter, suffered a disabling fall at work. His dad was rejected by multiple firms and largely left to fend for himself as he remained out of work. When a life-altering injury affects you or a family member you learn very quickly that the system is not set up to protect everyday working-class people. Rich remembers what he and his family went through simply to ensure they were treated fairly. He has set up his firm and overall practice to ensure other families do not go through what his did. This experience provides a foundational framework that few other personal injury lawyers have and can provide to their clients.
The Pennsylvania based personal injury attorneys at Ostroff Godshall Injury and Accident Lawyers® have been nationally recognized for recovering tens of millions of dollars for injury victims from most states in the US. We have fought for our clients against negligent and reckless car, bus and truck drivers.

We have won many cases on behalf of those injured because of construction accidents, frocking site incidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents and dog bites and attacks. Our goal is to hold those who cause injury responsible for their actions and to get the most money possible for our clients.
The personal injury attorneys at Ostroff Godshall Injury and Accident Lawyers® have more than100 years of combined experience handling personal injury claims. We know what your case is worth and we know how to get you the settlement you deserve. We have a team of personal injury lawyers with expertise in building and preparing your case for a strong settlement prior to suing. We have another team of personal injury lawyers with expertise in handling your case from the time we sue, until we either settle your case for the right amount or successfully present your case to a jury.
About Tony Gomes and Advanced Wealth Management:
Hello, my name is Tony Gomes, and I am the founder of Advanced Wealth Management. I want you to know that my firm has your best interest at heart. Our work ethic and beliefs are the culmination of years of overcoming adversities, and because of our journey, we place the wellbeing of our clients above all else.
To help you understand the environment in which you entrust your financial hopes, let me tell you a bit about myself and how I came to be here today.
I spent my childhood continuously moving among the Cape Verde Islands, with little to no supervision and gnawing hunger in my belly. At the age of nine, my journey to the United States was fraught with tension. I came from a fatherless background and was thrust into racial disparity, but I managed to come out on top through hard work and determination, despite the view of many that my heritage wouldn’t allow me to succeed. I went from a young boy on the streets of New Bedford with no grasp of the English language, to a successful marketing agent, with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Marketing through the University of Massachusetts and a Master’s of Business Administration from the University of Texas.
Tired of the long hours in the corporate world, marketing for brands such as Gatorade and Tropicana, it became evident that if I truly wanted to succeed and be the best father I could be to my children, I would need to rely on myself as I had throughout my childhood.I became a partner with a venture capital firm. One of the companies we funded, Inktomi, which Yahoo acquired in 2003 for an unbelievable sum, and then, after searching my soul on how best I could give back to my community, moved into the world of financial planning.
After many years of working with a company that didn’t have my clients’ best interest in mind, I started Advanced Wealth Management in Florida with a Family Office mentality, committed to helping potential retirees through a Holistic Retirement approach.
Our family office brings together a select group of professionals to coordinate all aspects of your financial affairs.

About Jason McKinney and Truffle Shuffle:
My name is Jason and I am the CEO and one of the Co Founders of Truffle Shuffle! I am honored that you want to learn more about Truffle Shuffle and our mission here! First thing I want you to know is that over here, we love food!! We love food a lot!
Jason got his start in his home state of Georgia at the Sea Island Resort as Chef de Tournant before moving to Napa and working at The French Laundry. While working as Chef de Partie and poissonnier in Yountville, Chef McKinney earned the restaurant’s award for Chef of the Year. From a family of self-starters, Jason has always had the desire to start something of his own.
Jason McKinney (CEO), Tyler Vorce (COO), and Sarah Rundle-McKinney (President of Communications and Service) met while working together at The French Laundry. The three launched Truffle Shuffle as the honest truffle company at the end of 2018. Truffle Shuffle began with the sole mission of bringing clarity and integrity to the complex world that is truffles.
Truffle Shuffle has come a long way since then, working with truffle-hunting families all over the world to source honest, traceable fresh truffles for passionate, Michelin-rated restaurants, and home chefs alike. Truffle Shuffle products like the Balinese Truffle Salt and Brown Butter Truffle Honey are available in stores like Whole Foods Market and online via Amazon. Be on the look out for their Sunday Live cook-along-classes!
I had the idea for Truffle Shuffle while I was cooking at The French Laundry. It has since gone through many iterations but the core vision has always been us asking two questions: can chefs be successful in business? Is there a way to connect people through food on a global level? After leaving the French Laundry, we used to throw these lavish dinner parties for foodies and we would have everyone there ask us repeatedly about the latest cooking show, chopped challenge or Top Chef Master. The truth was that we did not really follow any of these shows as we were way too busy, but I started to watch a few and the one I really loved was Chef's Table. Incredible cinematography, compelling storyline, and the food looked so good at the end! I used to think that what if there was a way to watch a cooking show and than eat that dish at the end. As a kid, I bought a second TV and had the Food Network playing 24/7 thinking it would help me become a great chef one day. (I am not sure if it did anything or not.)
The first idea for Truffle Shuffle was an app that chefs could order truffles directly from the hunters and we would cut out the greedy and dishonest middlemen. We started in 2018 by sending a friend to Italy and having them ship truffles back to us and we would go directly to the Michelin star restaurants we knew were using Truffles. We would then tell them the stories about the hunters. Through a ridiculous amount of sheer hustle, we were able to break 6 figures in our first 90 days of business.
In 2019, we wanted to launch a product line and on my honeymoon with Sarah, we met a family that had made the most amazing Balinese Salt that I brought home. Once home, we mixed in our truffles and when we tasted it, we knew we were on to something. The first thing I told Tyler was that this was how we were going to make our first million dollars (I was wrong but a little right!). We ended up landing a deal with Whole Foods and we went to work making a product and learning how to do product demos. We were supposed to get a call in the beginning of 2020 whether or not they would put Truffle Shuffle into every Whole Foods store. That call came at the end of February 2020

Modern Meadow is a purpose-driven company positioned at the intersection of material science and biology with a mission to be a catalyst for real-world impact on people and the planet.

These innovations can drop into any existing infrastructures for immediate scalable adoption in the materials, beauty, and other industries. Our close relationship with development partners and production facilities allows companies partnering with Modern Meadow to feel confident knowing our products are 100% traceable from Lab-to-Brand™.
The son of a theoretical physicist turned bioengineer, Andras Forgacs--the founder of Modern Meadow--was thinking of the world’s future in terms of biology before he even realized it.
Andras’ passion for science came from his father, Gabor Forgacs, who was a pioneer and innovator. A lifelong physicist, Gabor was one of the first to apply the frameworks of physics to understand biological phenomena such as how embryos develop and organs form. Around 2006, Gabor was pursuing some of the most interesting work of his career: developing a form of biofabrication called bioprinting. This innovation in 3D printing of human tissue led Andras and his father Gabor to partner with other co-founders to create the company Organovo (meaning “new organ”). Led by a dynamic team of forward-thinkers, Organovo was a pioneer in biofabrication focusing on creating human tissue models that could be used to accelerate pharma drug discovery and development.
Over ten years ago, Andras once again started thinking about biofabrication as a way to reimagine how the world approaches materials, sustainability and consumption, and how they are intertwined. Living in China in 2010-2011, Andras saw that rapid growth in consumption -- specifically in animal products such as leather and meat -- can come at great cost to the environment. He began to wonder if the principles of biofabrication could be used to make these animal products without the animal. In 2011, Modern Meadow (named to signify “a new field”) was founded.
Andras, Gabor and the small founding team at the newly-formed Modern Meadow began looking at the starting point for the creation of these materials: proteins. Experimenting with several different processes, and leveraging the knowledge and skill-set of a growing scientific team, Modern Meadow has been able to evolve its approach to create materials that support sustainability while balancing performance, aesthetics, and accessibility.
About DR. MEGHNA DASSANI and MEGHNA DASSANI:
As a dentist and mother, Dr. Meghna Dassani knows what it feels like to have a child that doesn’t sleep well.She knows how easily it can be misdiagnosed for months and even years. Dr. Dassani believes each child is unique, which is why she created a protocol that empowers parents with personalized treatment options, so any child can sleep soundly.
Dr. Dassani received her initial training from the University of Mumbai, India, where she graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). She established and operated her own practice in Mumbai, India, for six years before moving to the United States, where she earned her DMD at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Dassani relocated to Houston and practiced dentistry as an associate before she opened Dassani Dentistry in 2011.
Dr. Dassani’s commitment to continuing education has expanded her catalog of dental procedures including placement and restoration of dental implants, aesthetic dentistry, treatment of TMJ/TMD dysfunction, and – most notably – sleep apnea treatment for adults and children.
Houston sleep apnea dentist and mentor to sleep apnea dentists across the nation, Dr. Dassani is proud to not only keep your teeth clean and healthy, but also to provide a non-surgical, non-invasive sleep apnea treatment with oral appliance therapy.
The HealthyStart® System is an oral appliance therapy that promotes natural growth and development, which addresses the root causes of SDB.
The HealthyStart® System has been specifically designed to promote the proper growth and development of the jaw and airway to optimize airflow and promote proper nasal breathing while straightening your child’s teeth. As these areas develop many of the symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing disappear. When kids can breathe properly, they can begin to learn, grow, and blossom into their true genetic potential … just as nature intended.

About Ben Allen and BinSentry:
Ben is known for his expertise in leading hardware, software, and AgTech companies and for maintaining strong relationships with investors. He has a track record of rapidly generating revenue, scaling startup companies for growth, and negotiating strategic partnership deals with Fortune 100 companies.
Ben is an executive leader with a passion for recruiting, hiring, coaching, and retaining top talent to excel in rapidly evolving business and economic environments. He is recognized for building loyal and engaged teams who continuously exceed expectations of investors and customers as well as achieve personal success and professional promotions.
Ben was recruited to lead BinSentry after his successful run as Head of Global Market Development at Indigo Ag, an AgTech startup that he helped grow from $300M in 2017 to $3B in 2021. Prior to that role, Ben was recruited and turned around Agri-Trend’s Agri-Data software organization in preparation for a transaction. Due to his efforts Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) acquired Agri-Trend in 2015.
In 2010 Ben joined Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) where he negotiated and supported multiple multibillion dollar global deals. This success led to Ben serving on a 6-member executive turnaround team charged with restructuring and re-aligning costs across the 14,000-person company.
At a young age, Ben developed a passion for the agriculture industry while working in the family commodity trading business. In the challenging months following 9/11, Ben raised $1M+ in venture funding to create a contract farming offering that grew to manage 80,000+ acres in the Midwest, becoming one of the largest grain producing operations in the United States.
BinSentry’s mission is to build the Feed Mill of the Future to support Supply Chain Efficiency, Worker Safety, and Environmental Sustainability.
Their best-in-class 3D optical sensors provide the most accurate and reliable feed inventory data that is fed into proprietary software tools focused on improving feed management decision-making through notifications, suggestions, and advanced reporting supported by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing.
With BinSentry’s innovative technology, feed mills and producers are reducing feed waste and miles traveled, optimizing truck loads, and eliminating accidents from climbing bins as they work to provide high-quality protein for a growing global population.
In 2017, the founders of BinSentry noticed that while nearly $100B in animal feed was moving annually through North America, there was almost no visibility into the supply chain. Workers at the farm were literally throwing rocks at feed bins and listening to the sounds in an attempt to figure out if the bin was empty or full. As an alternative, most businesses require their employees to climb bin ladders regularly to look down into the darkness and try to judge the feed inventory levels, but this practice is both dangerous and inaccurate.

About Davielle Jackson and Femi Secrets:
Experienced President with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing, logistics and supply chain industry. Strong business development professional skilled in Sales, Entrepreneurship, International Business, Business Development, and Film.
The story of Femi Secrets started in 2012, when our founder and President, Davielle Jackson, set out to create a better solution for a friend who was experiencing heavy menstrual flow and leaking. The result was the Pretty Panty – our signature product that features a fashionable panty and absorbent pad in one unit.
Today, our mission is to provide women of all ages with quality sanitation products that provide the ultimate protection and make women feel safe, confident, and comfortable at all times.
My passion to innovate the feminine hygiene care market stems from my educational background. I was premed concluding my undergraduate degree in Biology, when a longtime friend came to me with a problem.
She said, “I really need your help.” Then proceeded to express that she has extreme flow during her period caused by Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that was debilitating her life. She was at the point of sleeping on multiple towels, using two to three tampons at night, as well as missing class and work.
I was moved that she would approach me with this. I felt that there must be a way that she could live life. This was a challenge but I wanted to help my friend. Diving deep into research, I was completely shocked at what was acceptable by the industry standards.
We had so many trials and errors with coming up with a concept that would break these limitations. I finally came up with a solution that allowed her to sleep tight and also go out without the worry of a leak. I decided to call it Pretty Panty because of the animal print and they were so cute.
The research that I uncovered continued to haunt me. How could the government not regulate these mainstream products that were closely tied to causing fibroids, ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer and other long-term damage to the health of women?
I decided to give women a better choice offering full coverage, all-natural, and chemical-free feminine hygiene care products. I want to lead the charge and teach women to ask questions about things that are going on with their bodies.
I look to a future where fibroids, PCOS, and all other feminine hormonal-induced disease will be minimized by the preventative effects of Femi Secrets.

About Larry Mohl and Rali:
Change has been my constant companion. Energizing, frustrating, destabilizing, and inspiring change.
After my first 10 years of working as an engineer I hit a wall. By all accounts I was successful, but I couldn’t imagine having my boss’s job, and could no longer just work wishing for the weekend to come sooner. Something had to change, and it was me.
Over the next 20 years of corporate life I transformed my career from engineer to Chief Learning Officer and change leader. I learned a lot about personal change and how companies empower or destroy change.
Reflecting back on my journey, I feel I was lucky. For many years I was in a company that made being an Intrapreneur possible. It was by no means easy, but if you had an idea and put yourself out there, the organization responded with opportunity. Like many, I know the opposite environment all too well. The thing is, if we want people to initiate and embrace change, what the organization does really matters. The change hero story is myth.
Large scale change is messy and more times than not initiatives fail to achieve their expected outcomes. My take is that we just don’t do enough to engage the whole organization in a way that gives people a voice, guides them, and lifts them up. We can do better. In short, we need to change how we change. So, with my teammates at Rali, the company I founded I’m on a mission.
To help leaders and their teams grow through times of change.
To democratize the intersection of development and change so that what is normally done for a few is
effectively scaled to the many.
To improve the success rate of change initiatives that truly matter to organizations through a human-centered, community-based approach.
To move from "spraying and praying" content to a holistic approach that activates the drivers of mindset and behavior change.
To align the interests of senior leaders looking for business impact and employees looking for an engaging and inclusive experience.
To fulfill our mission we offer a "Change Experience Platform" that connects industry change agents to leaders and teams though a community-centric portal with access to structured Learn|Do|Inspire journeys and interactive media. Our advanced analytics provides insights into change progress, adoption, engagement, and sentiment.
Rali Solutions, LLC located in Alpharetta, GA, empowers measurable, scalable, and lasting change that drives performance improvement through teams across the organization. Rali helps ensure successful outcomes by uniting technology, behavioral science, and change management best practices into a first of its kind Change Experience Platform (CxP). Rali enables organizations to drive interactive communications, launch group-based change journeys using Rali's unique Learn , Do , Inspire framework. Rali can take any body of content and deliver an environment that activates all the drivers of engagement, behavioral adoption, and organization impact. Whether it's groups of 50 or 50,000, Rali creates a highly interactive experience that scales content and activates behavior change, ultimately shaping the culture of your organization.
Rali goes beyond what other learning solutions offer by delivering a unified, community-driven experience designed to transform behaviors and accelerate change. Our proprietary methodology of “Learn | Do | Inspire” creates a powerful performance improvement loop and makes a lasting impact.
About Ron Laikind and ExtremeMist PCS:
I live in Arizona, the hottest state in the union, and I’m an avid outdoorsman who’s explored the world’s deserts – including a 1000 mile trek through the Sahara. I was always grappling with the heat – I didn’t want it to stop me from the activities I love. I looked around for anything that could help, but high-pressure misting systems were only for home or commercial use. And personal systems were low-end, hand-held, mini-fan style misters. That wasn’t good enough!
I knew what I needed – A compact, lightweight hydration backpack with a built-in mist system, hands-free and professional-grade, built for someone out for long hikes, rides or runs. But, would it be possible to get a high-PSI pump and a high-capacity rechargeable battery into a small, light and durable pack?
After extensive research, I was convinced it could be done. I spent over 2 years of development and testing, refining the specs, adding features to make it more flexible, sourcing high-quality parts and making sure it worked.
Then, finally, it was ready! And it has transformed my summer activity! I get more days out, plus I’m more comfortable and having more fun. It’s become my favorite piece of outdoor gear – and I’m sure it’ll become yours, too.
My mission was to help active people keep cooler, and that mission doesn’t end with the launch of my ExtremeMist™ PCS (Personal Cooling System). We’re just getting started. I’ve already developed multiple nozzles for use in or out of a pack. Plus, I’m working on several other ideas, including solar charging for long adventures, and an integrated safety vest for construction workers, traffic police, and municipal road workers.
The positive response to the ExtremeMist PCS has been truly gratifying. People can use it for any outdoor activity – chores out in the yard, beach and poolside recreation, parents on the sidelines at sporting events, and festivals like Burning Man and Coachella. It has already helped people in ways I couldn’t have anticipated.
Portable misting experts with two main product lines based out of Scottsdale, Arizona. Personal Cooling System (PCS) Our main product line was introduced to the outdoor community as a 2-n-1 hydration backpack with a built in mist system for personal cooling and other portable outdoor misting applications.
The Personal cooling system backpack is like no other hydration pack on the market to date. Recover faster, and extend the life of any outdoor activity by drinking and misting from the same system. Our Blue pump technology atomizes water into mist at 170psi as it mimics sweat to help cool you down as it evaporates from skin contact. ExtremeMist (PCS) Personal cooling system will allow you to recover faster and extend any outdoor activity by cooling the surrounding air temperature by up to 30 degrees.

About Jason Lee and Salt Labs:
I love building, creating, innovating, and discovering.
I have always seen the world differently than most, especially when it comes to financial matters. When I was 8 years old, my older brother had to raise money for a school trip by selling thirty $1 boxes of peanut M&Ms. The day before the money was due, he had sold all of one box ....to my parents. I took the entire case from him, walked around the neighborhood, and sold every box of M&Ms for $2, netting me $29 in profit.
I loved creating new financial products at my first job at Goldman Sachs, my first job out of college. I started and ran a global business purely dedicated to that endeavor. Then I built DailyPay, a $2 billion HR/Payments company, where we invented "on demand pay", a permanent change in the way employees get paid forever around the world.
As an entrepreneur, I stick to three core principles: 1. Product - keep it simple and easy. The best products are the ones that abstract complexity and present a client application that is simple, easy, and transparent. 2. Execution - culture is the most important ingredient to team success. Investing in culture drives customer satisfaction, speed, and decision making. 3. You're not smarter than the market - self explanatory.

Through college, Jeremy worked for Passport to Languages as an interpreter of all three languages. To continue his world travels, became a flight attendant in 1996 and soon began importing pearls during his runs to Asia. In a sector dominated by generations old family businesses, Jeremy endeavored to become a first generation, self-taught pearl importer, dealer, and internet reseller. Over the past 20 years, he has traveled to pearl producing areas all over the world creating relationships with pearl producers, exporters, and people dedicated to support the pearl industry.

About Dr. Jean Accius and CHC: Creating Healthier Communities:
None of us achieves success or feels fulfilled on our own. I came to this country as an immigrant when I was four years old. One lesson my grandmother taught me was the Haitian Creole proverb, “Tout moun, se moun,” which means, “every person is a human being.” I learned at an early age how important it is to think bigger than myself. Meaning, it’s important to always remember who your work is for, the impact you can have on others, and that you need to get out of your comfort zone to do more, do better, and do good for others.
As President & CEO of Creating Healthier Communities, I lead a team of the best and brightest in addressing the barriers to health and creating solutions that build a solid foundation to ensure people have more time on this planet. More time healthy, more time learning and earning, and more time spent with those they love. It’s the antithesis of American values that it’s not your genetic code that determines how long you’ll live, it’s your ZIP code. There is tremendous opportunity for both the public and private sectors to build bold and transformative solutions that support a more equitable future.
I have a strong history of transforming organizations, building high-performing teams and forming strategic partnerships across industries to scale for impact and accelerate the pace of change. For example, I cultivated a major partnership between three organizations—Meritus Health, Luminis Heath, and AARP—to form, Leaders in Equity and Diversity (LEAD), a multisector collaborative to address health disparities by 2024. This 30+ organization collaborative across seven states, collectively serve nearly 9 million patients annually with immediate positive and measurable impact. The Health Services Cost Review Commission, which sets hospital payment rates in Maryland, has issued guidance that by the end of CY 2026, 50 percent of hospitals will have reduced their racial and sociodemographic disparities in hospital quality outcomes by 50 percent.
It is a privilege to work on addressing the barriers to health and health equity—with the goal of creating resilient communities where everyone can thrive.
CHC: Creating Healthier Communities brings nonprofits, businesses and communities together to improve community health. Our focus is health equity, addressing underlying issues and removing barriers so everyone can thrive. Our work is driven by community need, and we direct programs, resources and support where they have the greatest impact. Together with partners, we’ve been creating healthier communities for more than 65 years. Join us at chcimpact.org or @chcimpact.
About Kelley Cahill and YOORZ ID:
Kelley Cahill has dedicated her life to highlighting online scams and exposing con artists. She was conned out of a total of 1.5 million dollars by a man she met on MATCH.COM who claimed he was divorced but was actually married. Kelley has spent the last 12 years seeking justice and advocating for other victims both male and female to identify scammers and predators. This is what led her to create her company YOORZ ID in the hopes of preventing what happened to her not happen to anyone else. She has extensive knowledge about the laws that govern on-line crimes, and is building solid relationships with Government agencies as well as victim assistant programs.
Kelley had a Bill S 5530 introduced into legislation and is working on getting bipartisan support at the Federal level so that all states will have laws in affect that will hold these perpetrators accountable.
Kelley's ongoing mission is to work with Legislators, Government agencies and Law enforcement to see that new laws are enacted that will protect the victims of online crimes. To this day there are no programs available for men or women who have been emotionally devastated and conned by predators of the internet. She has been on several radio shows, has made You Tube video's sharing simple rules to protect online daters and her story aired on 20/20 June 24th, 2011 exposing the man who conned her.
As a result of her misfortune Kelley created a company YOORZ~ YOU VERIFIED that uses the most comprehensive background credentialing system as well as biometrics of facial, voice, finger and Iris recognition to verify the end users true identity. When verified the end user will receive an encrypted HASH/badge that will be encrypted on to their social profile letting others know that YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE. YOORZ also has a D2C mobile application to ensure safety wherever you go.
YOORZ ID is used to refer to the person or persons whom a thing belongs. In this case YOUR IDENTITY belongs solely to you.
Current available technology can achieve a 99.999% reliable method to verify that a person´s online identity matches to their real identity. A person who completes the verification process obtains a secure certificate tied to their YOORZ account that can be used to verify their identity anywhere.

About Steven Davis and Renaissance Solutions:
Most people haven't ever worked with a coach. A Stanford University study asked 200 CEO's about their views of coaching. Results found that 100% of CEO's were open to receiving advice from a coach: 57% receptive, 43% very receptive. Within the CEO population, 66% had actually worked with a coach, and in that response group, 79% stated that it was their idea to actually hire a coach.

About Dante White and Oppuous:
Highly driven, results-oriented, and high-revenue-producing professional with 7+ years’ sales and marketing experience and a passion for driving business objectives through understanding, maintaining, and cultivating relationships. Strong and successful communicator, thought leader, and evangelist in the tech space with a knack for leveraging social media to spread personal and professional brand awareness and build relationships. Currently holds position as VP of Education at local Toastmaster’s International chapter in support of improving public speaking and communications skills. Always meets and exceeds commission-based sales goals, quotas, and expectations while consistently delivering revenue-generating, high-impact results.
I became an entrepreneur in part due to my humble beginnings as a minority growing up in a military home. I went through the traditional means of putting myself through college with student loans, odd jobs, and late nights studying. I was successful in any position I took and “climbed the corporate ladder.” In 2013, I became a father and realized on the day I held my son in my arms; that my life was no longer my own and everything I did had to be for him. While I made many incredible connections, learned so much, became a public speaker, interviewed by magazines, and gained invaluable experience in the Tech space; I yearned for more. I became an entrepreneur to build generational wealth for my son, invest in myself and my community, and follow my passion. The Pasion was that I can do good while doing great, we can create something larger than ourselves, we can create opportunities for each and every person on this earth; because after all: An opportunity for you, is an opportunity for us.”Join Oppuous in our movement.
Oppuous started off as a question, an idea, a thought, a wish, and ultimately a movement. Too many times we’re told “you can’t do this”, “you’ll never make it”, or “that’s dumb”, etc. Oppuous believes that everyone should have an opportunity to reach their dreams and everyone has value. As such, Oppuous does its best to give back to the community by employing Veterans, the homeless, single parents, and the generally disenfranchised. We give back to the community because WE ARE THE COMMUNITY. I want to build a better world for my son and OUR WORLD. For too long capitalism has taken everything and given nothing.
Oppuous was created for business owners small and large who are dissatisfied with having to buy software, hardware, and tech support services from multiple places, manage multiple contracts, and have purchased the wrong solutions. Oppuous is a one stop marketplace (like Amazon) for business tech solutions. Additionally we have nationwide engineering and cloud specialists to advise clients along the way. Oppuous provides on average 15% savings on solutions on average and hundreds of hours of saved time a year. Unlike buying all your solutions from every individual company. Oppuous makes buying technology simple, stress free, and efficient. You can even keep your existing relationships with the software manufacturers, we just add better customer service AND typically better pricing (even on existing installs).
About Neivis Paulino and Galilee Life:
Self-driven and inspirational Christian entrepreneur with experience in building a company from a simple idea to a fully functional business.
Galilee Life is a Christian online marketplace that caters to small businesses in search for more than a platform to create, buy, and sell goods. It is for small businesses in search of one on one connection and encouragement.
Our mission is to restore the hopes and dreams of small online businesses.
Passion fuels everything that we do at Galilee Life. We’re inspired by our community, the love and support from our small businesses and customers, the carefree calm that is felt while browsing for something beautiful; the eager anticipation after checkout; the joy of opening a package just for you; the confidence of putting on a new outfit that makes you feel incredible.
Galilee Life is about making life more beautiful so that you can shine inside and out.
Galilee Life is a leadership encouragement company established in early 2018, that provides users with a platform to reach their potential. We connect buyers and sellers around the world, empowering and equipping them to be confident in their business growth when God is involved. We create an environment where vendors and customers alike experience the love of God everyday. Our business motto is unique and one of a kind because God is incomparable to anything else in this world. We are certain that our vendors will thrive as long as they commit and give it their all. God is already doing all of the heavy lifting for us, we just need to learn to follow His guidance and leadership more than we do our own.
Within our marketplace, our vendors have sold hundreds of products and made from hundreds to thousands in revenue. All glory to God. Our website has had close to 300 thousand visitors. Our team creates devotionals that touch lives and we have been able to send over 300 handwritten prayer cards and encouraging gifts via mail and more than 500 prayer requests via email answered from all over the world. Galilee Life was created because of the great need of connection in the business world. God showed us that there is a vast disconnection and that more and more people are choosing to keep God out of the equation with excuses like business and God do not mix. That is a lie from the enemy and we are breaking generational curses that are leaning towards making God more and more invisible. How can we conduct business without first consulting God? How can we make an executive decision without first coming to God and praying about it? How can we be sure that things will turn out well and that we won’t quit when adversities make their way into our lives? Only with Jesus can we rest assured.
Our goal is for millions of people around the world to connect on Galilee Life, both online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods, but most importantly to find Jesus in everything that they do. We also offer a wide range of vendor services and tools that help creative entrepreneurs/shop owners start, manage and scale their businesses. Our mission is to restore the hopes and dreams of small online businesses. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for God and the trust that he has bestowed upon us. Our mission takes us to deeper levels of understanding the human heart. We help build dreams that lead to financial sustainability while providing encouragement and love with the very source constantly being provided to us through God’s love. Our commitment to God is what gives us the strength to continuously strive for personal relationships, creating a holistic community with the heart as the main focus and cultivating business relationships that last.

About Julie Cielo and Ferm Fatale LLC:
Julie Cielo is more than just the fearless founder and CEO of Ferm Fatale. She is a driving force behind the fermented foods and Non-Alcoholic beverage movements.
From growing up fermenting with her Italian immigrant grandfather in rural Pennsylvania, to having recovered from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Julie discovered two simple truths – That the gut is the source of our health, and that the good bacteria in our gut has the power to cure. With these truths at heart, Julie has not only created the world’s first wildly-fermented zero-proof cocktail, but has also helped countless others discover the benefits of Living Clean and Drinking Dirty.
Julie is a frequent speaker at beverage and fermented foods events nationwide and is a founding member of the Adult Non-Alcoholic Beverage Association. She is also a professional yoga therapist, transformational life coach, psychic medium, and host of the We Are the Soil podcast. Julie currently lives in Venice Beach, CA.
Ferm Fatale is the world's ONLY wildly fermented zero-proof cocktail in classic cocktail flavors--Sugar free and non-alcoholic gut-healthy alternatives. Ferm Fatale was birthed in 2015 on stage at BevNet Live Start-Up Beverage of the Year Showdown as the only pre-market competitor when the term 'social beverage' was introduced to the industry by Julie, helping forge a global movement around 'alcohol alternative' options. Julie was inspired after feeling 'left out' of the party in her 20's when she couldn't have alcohol which spurred the idea 15 yrs later. She pitched the idea to seed investors back in 2014 but it wasn't until 2019 Ferm Fatale made it to the shelf at Erewhon Markets in LA, later launching DTC with www.fermfatale.com January 2020. As we all know a global pandemic happened shortly after, but Julie was invited back to the BevNet side stage again Winter 2021 in Santa Monica showcasing a secondary line of fermented tonic waters, talking about how starting a new category has come with it's challenges, especially as a woman. Julie has now raised over a million dollars and took the company through a total rebrand recently, focusing on the core line, reformulating, and repackaging from glass to 8oz sleek cans. The brand relaunched Oct 1, 2022. Julie has been a big part of what is currently a $739M industry and the fastest growing segment of food & beverage in the world right now. As we all know, startups aren't for wussies.
We’re for following our gut. Not the crowd.
And definitely not the little voice in our head that says we’re not enough.
We’re for defying destiny, flirting with adventure, and daring to do it all. We’re for late night belly laughs and early morning sun salutations.
We’re for living wildly-healthy lives fueled by wildy-healthy and diverse digestive systems. And we are passionate about strengthening them with the microbiome-cleansing bacteria and enzymes they need to help us seize the day, night, and every second in between.
We are ferm believers in drinking life to the fullest, raising a glass to celebrate feel-good moments, and hanging without the hangovers.
And if we happen to get a little wild and dirty in the process, all the better!
Ready to leave the belly-aching behind? Then come take a walk on the wildly-fermented side.

About Nathan Miller and Unspeakable:
When I was only 9 years old I built a car from a hovercraft…Pretty impressive? Remote controlled!
When I was only 8 years old I built a Lego city with 23,453 Legos...Is that impressive? No?
Well, how about when I was 2 years old I built the Eiffel Tower! With magnets, of course...
Since I was young, I've loved creating things and venturing into things I’ve never done. I also made videos about things I enjoyed. One day I decided that I was going to become an astronaut. Then, after a year of brainstorming, I got realistic and decided I wanted to be a YouTuber.
I started by making Minecraft videos, but unique ones that would draw a new audience and players to the game. After nearly two years of uploading unique, creative, and funny videos to my YouTube channel almost every day, I hit 100,000 subscribers. I felt like I accomplished the world, and I was on top of everyone! However, my journey hadn’t even started yet. I had to teach myself how to adapt, edit content in different ways, entertain an audience, and grow a brand up to the millions! I never gave up because I couldn’t go a day without thinking about what video I was going to create next!
You have to work really, really, really hard if you want to be truly great at something. For the last 3 years I barely took a day off, pushing myself to working 115 hours a week. I worked every waking hour for months. But I didn’t dread a single minute of it because my passion was dripping out of me. Every ounce of muscle and brain power wanted to create a successful YouTube channel that people from every country in the world would tune into. Take every day as a learning opportunity to improve. Take every failure as a learning opportunity to be better next time. You may move 5 steps forward today, but 3 steps backward tomorrow. Growth never comes from your comfort zones.

About Shannon Duffy and Tender Belly:
Shannon and Erik Duffy. Two crazy brothers who grew up in Iowa with a fanatical love for tasty pork. Once they began wearing big boy pants, they started asking themselves: Why is it so freakin’ hard to find really good bacon? Not good bacon, but really good bacon. And so they started meeting with local heritage breed pork farmers, trying out tons of unique dry rub recipes, and experimenting with different hardwood smoke techniques. Eventually, Tender Belly was born in 2010 with a singular mission: Bring happiness to hearts and bellies by crafting the most crazy tasty pork on planet earth. The team has grown some since those days, but our unwavering commitment to bringing you crazy tasty pork has only become stronger.
Shannon and Erik Duffy grew up in Iowa. So their standards for pork are pretty high. They know the good stuff, and they knew how hard it was to find. And that’s how Tender Belly got started—a company devoted to making bacon that proves you can actually love bacon more than you already did.
Their passion for doing things better now extends to all cuts of pork, and beyond. Certified Awesome. That’s what we call it. A pursuit of excellence in everything we sell. We set our standards high. And when something doesn’t rise up to meet them, it’s not good enough.

About Rick Langille and Harvest Today:
At Harvest Today, we want to impact the world positively by providing them with the power to grow their food. Starting from a tile to a grow wall, Harvest Wall can enable a farmer to produce a massive quantity of fresh food that can feed a huge number of people.
Harvest Wall plays a huge part in letting the world know that they can grow carbon-neutral crops and plants in an indoor growing system with actual soil, pesticide-free, and 97% less water. With the Harvest Wall, food insecurity and hunger can be lessened.
The continuously exploding population puts more pressure on the growing ecosystem to keep up with increased demand. 1 out of 3 people around the world experience food insecurity which means we need a simple solution to produce more food for these people globally.
Sustainable crop growth can be hindered by seasonal and climate change, water, and nutrients, which also affects food production that results in growing only during certain times of the year. A simple indoor growing system can solve this problem to increase crop growth and food production.
Harvest Today is an agri-tech company that empowers global and local communities to be able to grow fresh produce closer to home and promote the harvest revolution. Its goal is to harvest and produce all-year-round crops and vegetables through our scalable indoor growing system solution.

About Tom Hayman and Real Estate Negotiation Institute:
I created RENI so you can better represent your clients and yourself through greater confidence and capability in negotiating. “Making YOU the Expert!” Teaching others about negotiation and persuasion is truly my passion! I have many years of professional negotiation experience as both a practitioner and an instructor. After spending 5 years in the Marine Corps (negotiating the sunny skies in Hawaii in jet fighters!), I spent 25 years negotiating with hundreds of companies for a top Fortune 50 company (including 4 years in Japan and the Far East). I entered real estate in 2003 and have over 15 years as an active agent and a negotiation trainer. I love to study the latest research on persuasion, figure out how it applies to real estate (and life!), and pass them on to our students. My wife and I are fortunate to have most of our children and grandchildren living near us in Arizona (4 children, 10 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren). We spend time volunteering at our church, reading, traveling, and being thankful for all of our blessings. I would love the opportunity to help you be the best negotiator you can be!
The Real Estate Negotiation Institute (RENI) focuses only on negotiation training and is operated by true subject matter experts.
RENI is the first and leading negotiation training company in real estate in North America.
RENI owns the Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE®) designation program and the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE®) course. The MCNE program is the premier negotiation training program in real estate and the CNE course is the most popular negotiation training course in real estate.
The owners of RENI have professional negotiation training from Harvard, Wharton, Karrass, and Oxford University in England.
RENI has over 70,000 graduates and 500,000+ classroom hours.
By combining the negotiation expertise with relevant real estate experience, RENI is able to provide unmatched negotiation training to real estate professionals.
Real estate clients rate “negotiation skills in their agent” as the most important service provided by an agent (see “Game Changer” publication). Getting the best negotiation training available is in your and your clients’ best interests!
And NAR’s Code of Ethics does not limit your advertising to only NAR designations (see NAR’s Code of Ethics, Standard of Practice 12-13). You can use any designation/certification you have earned in your marketing, including the CNE and MCNE.
Student feedback and thousands of testimonials confirm that RENI’s training is not only among the best in the industry, but it can truly improve your business and your life.

As a business
Sharing The Credit helps your business fund or increase your funding and support to your favorite IRS recognized charity (501c3’s), with no expense to you. We take the portion of your credit and debit card merchant fees you were paying to the bank and give it to your charity of choice instead.
This is possible because Meridian Merchant Services, who, acting as your credit and debit card services provider, doesn't keep your merchant fees since they are a registered non-profit themselves through Meridian Foundation (IRS #45-3321239). This means what used to go to the bank, now goes to your favorite registered charity.
This means you receive the credit, satisfaction and goodwill for providing extra support to a cause you believe in, from which everyone benefits with no additional bottom line or out of pocket expense…
As a charity
Sharing The Credit means you get increased sustainable regular funding from businesses that support you, without the charity incurring any money raising or other costs…
In other words, we show both businesses and non-profit groups how to support and raise funds for great causes that help make our world a better place.

When computers on the network verify and process transactions, new bitcoins are created, or mined. These networked computers, or miners, process the transaction in exchange for a payment in Bitcoin. Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are entered into circulation. It is also the way the network confirms new transactions and is a critical component of the blockchain ledger's maintenance and development. "Mining" is performed using sophisticated hardware that solves an extremely complex computational math problem. The first computer to find the solution to the problem receives the next block of bitcoins and the process begins again.
Colin Yurcisin and the team at Leveraged Mining have put together a compelling offering for those people interested in participating in mining of Bitcoin. An intriguing interview with one of the leaders in the space.

About Sofia Szabo and Marc Szabo Studios:
High end digital renderings and 3D animation. Marc Szabo has been leading the industry with photo realistic renderings for over 30 years, working with the top builders, architects, advertising agencies and interior designers on both domestic and global scales.
Marc Szabo Studios is an agency association of five very accomplished studios, each with their own specialty working as one to assure our clients the best possible quality and service.
Exterior and Interior Renderings/Exterior and interior Animations/ Virtual 360 Tours/Interactive Kiosk Presentations
Looking at a studio website, or even a referral, does not guarantee your studio selection. Today it is not just renderings. With new digital applications there are too many influencing factors. Any one studio may excel at renderings but could be limited in their animation and interactive experience. The client sees examples but they don’t really know if the studio did in fact do the work, how long they had to do it, and if the artists that did the work are still with that studio.
I thoroughly researched all my associated studios and have worked with them for many years. I know their strengths and their weaknesses. I manage each project from start to finish. Very often I will combine several studios on the same project. In the last twenty-five years Marc Szabo Studios has completed thousands of projects. We have the experience, and we have the quality you would expect.

Hi, Richard Flint here.
As the author of 19 books and speaker, trainer and coach to over 10,000 individuals, I have dedicated my life to helping others break free and create the life of their dreams.
Having had the opportunity to address people in talks and seminars as a keynote speaker, trainer and coach throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. I’m honored to have the opportunity to address more than 200,000 people each year.
Specializing in the training and development of individuals, companies and associations brings great joy to my life - it’s why I’m here.
Don’t tell anyone, but before he wore the shirts, Richard wore suits. One day, while shopping in Las Vegas, he wandered into a men’s store that specializes in exotic shirts. He took one look and the shirt journey began.
The shirts, with all their bright colors and different patterns, have become his trademark. His travel searches for unique fabrics from around the world and having them incorporated produce a unique final product – just like each of us are a unique blend of all the fabrics and patterns in our lives.
It's been said, more than once, it takes a very confident person to wear those shirts. The colors and the patterns are all part of Richard’s unique personality. To him, his shirts represent his spirit. Richard lives his life through his imagination, and that filters out through his creative energy and generous personality.

Her book, currently in development, and subsequent courses empower people with her groundbreaking methodology to interrupt and completely reimagine behavioral habits, releasing all limits on life.
Several years into becoming a Mother of two while building an online beauty business, I had a game changing realization. I thought, hang on, I know exactly how to live in ways that remove all limits on what I can think, feel, and create. I know how to change my mental and emotional state and actively choose for it to serve me no matter what. I know how to allow things like time, circumstance, and change to empower me vs. feel problematic. I know it because I’m a trained Actor, and the day I realized that I had for the most part left these life enhancing skills in rehearsal or up on those stages, was the day I wanted to create a real bridge. There was no reason that this way of thinking and working couldn’t deliver the same freeing, enlivening, and fulfilling results in real life, and there’s not a reason why they can’t for you too.
My mission is to put this simple and powerful mindset and some of the specific tools which back it up, right into your pocket, so you can feel more alive too.

After a decade and 100s of projects, we’ve talked with a lot of business owners and managers about their marketing challenges. Often they don’t have all the people they need on staff to accomplish their business goals. And hiring a bunch of new people is risky and expensive.
Strategy, design, programming, social media management, advertising, photography, video production, creative writing, analysis... the job roles go on and on.... and that’s where we can help.
Twin Creek Media brings a group of talented people, fresh ideas, and lots of experience to the table. Plug us in– it’s almost like we’re your marketing department across the road.
We get it. Choosing an agency is a tough decision. Or should you hire more internal staff instead? We’ve talked with a lot of business owners, and Marketing Directors over the years and noticed some common themes. Those questions lead to a fork in the road: either hire the necessary talent or outsource. We're not literally in your office, and we can't do everything. But we do have a small team of experienced experts that you can "plugin" to your operation for the cost of a single new hire. Just like an employee, we're not going to work for your competitor at the same time. Just like an employee, we're going to arrange all your advertising so you pay direct. But there's no training, no equipment to buy, less risk, and better results!
We have clients all over Canada, in all sorts of industries. From a strategy call with an Ottawa client to a video project in Calgary to a training session in Kelowna... location doesn't matter as much these days. We're in our Kelowna, BC headquarters, but it’s almost like we’re your marketing department across the road.
It's true. Our small team is often the perfect extension of your in-house marketing management. We're on the lookout for companies and organizations that want to grow. Disclaimer: It's also important that you aren't a micro-manager. Partnerships take trust and if you prefer the ability to walk over to someone's desk, you're better off hiring internally instead of outsourcing. For everyone else, what would you really want from a marketing partner? We've had many years to think about just that. Twin Creek has developed 4 differences that set our agency apart from the norm.
About Lauren Mingee and Quintessa Marketing:
Experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of working in the legal marketing and advertising industry. Skilled in Personal Injury Lead Generation, Intake Training and Development, Marketing Management, Advertising, Sales, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Quintessa Marketing delivers highly qualified leads for personal injury lawyers at volume. We use custom qualification criteria, so potential clients have already been vetted for a signed retainer when they are live transferred to your firm. Watch the magic as our leads become your firm's cases. Sign up today, and see if you qualify to receive your first new retainer as soon as tomorrow!
Quintessa specializes in giving personal injury law firms a competitive edge in advertising.

Some large firms come into a new market willing to spend a million without a guaranteed ROI, which we think is ludicrous. We give you highly qualified leads that sign with you.
Whether you're new to PI, or have tried every lead generation firm out there, we know what works and what doesn’t. We advertise on almost every media form, and send more than a lead to your firm. We have our own highly trained intake department that acts as an appendage to your law firm to assist in getting potential clients information to qualify them as a viable client. If they meet qualifications, we sign them up on your retainer agreement so you can save in your investigator costs as well.
Need more info on a client? No problem. We can leverage our large team
So, if you are a small firm or a large firm, we can help you get new clients and build your case count up immediately.

Scientists are now learning that postbiotic metabolites are considered master health-regulating compounds and comprise the new “tool kit” in ensuring overall wellness.
About Patch Baker and Mobius Media Solutions:
In 2015, after many years working for and around the US Military and Government Agencies, it was time to enter the “real world” and get a “real job” in the civilian world.
I had a rude awakening; I sucked at “real world” jobs. The Marine Corps taught me a lot, but it did not teach me how to be a good civilian.
After being fired from my first two jobs, I realized I was on a collision course with the bottom. I was falling fast with no real place to go or person to turn to.
So I decided to do something crazy. I decided to build a business and base it on something I already knew: the military.
The way I see it, The United States Military is the largest corporation on the planet, with a mission that cannot fail. The military is also structured in a way that allows high turnover without losing the 100% readiness of the overall force.
No Commander is needed on the front line every moment of every day, and that meant if I did it right, I would be able to deploy the company anywhere I wanted from my laptop.
And that’s exactly what I did. I realized there was no limit to how big an impact I could make. I finally found a game that felt infinite.
I began to seek out industry leaders and learned everything they would teach me. I bought every course I could get my hands on and paid numerous consultants to help me in areas where I was weak.
Next thing you know, I (and a few buddies) built a Digital Marketing company and were outperforming our peers.
We became industry leaders in record time and I started getting invites to speak on stages around the country.
A few short years later we were acquiring companies, growing them and positioning them for exits.
Today, I want to focus my time on companies that can change the world by impacting others. I am not interested in just pushing another product or service.
I am lucky enough to have an amazing team of Digital Marketers, Business Development Specialists, Merger & Acquisition Managers, Legal and Financial Experts, and a powerhouse stack of Family Office and Private Investors to make the whole thing work.
About Mark London and Mad Cave Studios:
I grew up addicted to movies and comic books. If you want to talk about, fantasy, storytelling, Conan, Transformers, GI Joe, or Japanese Animation, I’m your man. Perhaps it’s the filmography of Jean Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Sylvester Stallone.
As a kid, I loved it. As an adult, I still love it.
I’ve channeled that passion into my independent comic book publishing company, Mad Cave Studios, which I established in 2014. From the beginning of our studio’s inception, I’ve reached for nothing short of the best in terms of artwork, storylines, and team members.
That level of quality has shown in what we’ve produced and in the things we’ve achieved the last three years.
We’ve exhibited at Wizard World’s Chicago Convention (2016), New York Comic Con (2016, 2017), WonderCon Anaheim (2017), and Megacon Orlando (2017). Our medieval fantasy comic, Battlecats, will be distributed by Diamond Comic Distributors and was featured in their December 2017 edition of Previews World.
Now we are working simultaneously on six comic book series as we release Battlecats, Midnight, and Knights of the Golden Sun throughout 2018.
We have big plans for Mad Cave Studios in 2018 and beyond. Learn more about what we’re doing by visiting madcavestudios.com or clicking on the links below.
Established in 2014, Mad Cave Studios is an independent comic book publisher from Miami, Florida driven by madness and committed to creating the most fun and diverse comics on the market.

About Dr. Adam Dombrowski, Dr. Krista Imre and Nature Medicine Clinic:
Dr. Krista and Dr. Adam are Naturopathic Doctors. They help people to reverse chronic disease by taking control of their health. Having worked with thousands of patients to do exactly this, the inspiration that comes from seeing so many lives completely transform continues to fuel their mission.
Dr. Krista grew up surrounded by the beauty and power of nature in a town close to Yosemite National Park in California. Being raised in a family full of conventional doctors that engendered this disappointing mindset all created the realization that something important was missing from the current medical system- hope. Naturopathic medicine became the natural choice for Dr Krista after she struggled with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome at a young age and was told all she could do was take medications for life.
Dr. Adam spent several months in China on a medical internship and was blown away by the contrasting healthcare crisis in the US, i.e. people are significantly more sick here than in other comparable countries. This national crisis was also evidenced by the lack of improvement in his own father’s condition, after he was debilitated by chronic disease following the NYC 9/11 disaster. Realizing that health is predominantly determined by our lifestyle choices rather than just pills and procedures, Dr. Adam pursued an approach that empowers people to thrive rather than leaving them stuck in the “hamster wheel” of conventional medicine.
Now husband and wife, these two doctors met during their training at the oldest accredited naturopathic medical university in North America, NUNM. Their additional training in Acupuncture & Ayurvedic Medicine complements their holistic perspective on wellness. Together they have contributed to the holistic medicine research base by publishing two case reports in an integrative medicine journal. Their biomedical training helps empower their practice members to take control of their own healing, while simultaneously being fluent in conventional medicine. This melange of natural therapies is transferred to their practice members so they feel less “stuck” and more “free” to live the life that they desperately want to live.
That is why our clinic uses life-altering, educational programs to improve your health by creating stronger foundations for health. We optimize your health so that you can feel less “stuck” and more “free” to live your life. I also use a large variety of natural therapies within naturopathic medicine and acupuncture to treat a variety of chronic and acute conditions. All recommendations are customized to the individual with a commitment to the ability of your body to heal itself.
Nature's medicine is medicine that designed for human beings by nature. It is in our DNA. By working with the inherent healing ability of your body, natural medicine tends to have far fewer side effects relative to conventional therapies.
Natural medicine is largely substantiated with clinical research and clinical experience to effectively improve many chronic and acute conditions.

He is an industry leader in the development of PC-based financial applications and interactive analytical tools that empower fund trustees to understand evaluate and strategize alternative solutions to their financial challenges with respect to pension funding, escalating healthcare costs, and investment strategy. Gene's ideas and achievements have been chronicled in many industry publications, Money magazine, and at the annual Business Week CFO Forum.
He specializes in creating innovative real-time simulation decision tools for financial executives facing major strategic decisions with respect to pension funding, investment strategy, and health insurance. His clients have been primarily multi-billion dollar funds of major corporations, states, Taft-Hartley funds, U.S. federal agencies, and the governments of foreign countries.
Gene applies a "hands on" approach in designing and developing evolving technology applications for clients. Staying actively involved in this dynamic field allows him to incorporate his depth of knowledge and experience to the applications being developed, enhancing them to be more effectively useful from an upper management perspective.
In addition, he has extensive experience presenting actuarial concepts to large audiences who have little technical expertise. Gene has testified on several occasions before U.S. Senate Committees and regularly testifies before state legislatures and boards of trustees on behalf of the many state-wide pension funds he represents.
After more than 21 years at Milliman where he established the firm's Washington office, in 1984 he became the firm's youngest Equity Principal. By 1990 he was the youngest Equity Principal to serve on the firm's Board of Directors. He joined Cheiron in November 2002. Prior to working at Milliman, Gene worked for two years at Towers Perrin. He began his actuarial career at the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or PBGC where he spent nearly five years.

Our primary business is in the pension and health areas, where we help clients identify, measure, and monitor financial risks, and assist them in addressing those risks. At the heart of these services is our proprietary line of sophisticated "X-scan" modeling tools that allow clients to see, in real time, the nature and degree of financial risk they face, and determine when deeper analysis is needed.
We stand behind our work, serving our clients with integrity, responsiveness and objectivity. Our only business is providing analysis and advice. We do not ask clients to accept limitations on our liability for the quality of our work. Our advice is objective, serving only our clients interests and will not be affected by conflicts with other corporate alliances, outside advisors, external oversight entities, or between management and labor.
Although Cheiron opened its doors in 2002, our seasoned consulting staff averages more than 24 years of experience. Our consultants have earned a strong national reputation for high professional standards, innovation and dedication to solving our clients' problems.

About Barry Jones and First String:
Innovation is progress and progress is change. But we all know that changing a system is never easy. That's what makes this exciting! My name is Barry Jones. I'm the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FirstString. I started my career as a military officer and then transitioned into the Pharma, Biotech and finally the Recruitment industries to cultivate over 30 years of high-performance experience & expertise. What I experienced from both the hiring and recruiting side of corporate America was a systematically flawed process towards the higher potential but 'inexperienced' individual. So, my son, a recently graduated college athlete, and I developed a recruitment system that works better for everyone. As AI dominates the corporate recruiting world, the system becomes inherently biased, especially towards proven, high performing but 'inexperienced' young adults. We created a system that helps level the playing field through science, education, and networking with extreme time and cost savings to employers.
First, the system had to be grounded in science. It also had to conduct ongoing research and collaborate with each client to explore, publish, and bring cutting-edge information to the process.
It also had to have advanced security to protect the candidates' lifelong profiles and the institutions' and employers' information. This system would make the static resume obsolete and change the recruiting industry for new college graduates, specifically college athletes; thus, FirstString was born.
The difference between making a living and making a difference is what drives us. I believe these exceptional young people who represent every ethnicity and socioeconomic background and bring large amounts of revenue to universities across our country deserve some enhanced assistance.
The FirstString platform is the ultimate tool to complement your internal talent acquisition team if you are a company. It will enable you to access the most sought-after, diverse, team-oriented, high-performing individuals without exhaustive sourcing, vetting, and expensive contract negotiations with recruiters.
So, college athletes, what does this mean to you? FirstString will no longer allow you to be judged by an antiquated system where a static resume, found by a computer conducting a search determines if you qualify for a job. You will be trained in enhanced business communication skills and allowed to represent YOURSELF in front of potential employers. This will open the door to opportunities you never thought existed.
FirstString is the leading career technology platform committed to connecting graduating college athletes across the country to employers- making it the first National Registry for college student athletes.
It is the first app to educate, prepare and connect graduating collegiate athletes for success in meaningful, career-oriented jobs.
FirstString empowers both the employer and high intensity student athlete to make well-informed career decisions in a rapidly changing and competitive workforce.
The key features of the proprietary app include: a confidential two way portal for athletes to share information and employers to review. This innovative portal gives the students control to choose which employers they want to have interviews with based on the employer’s profile and facilitates employers to select the best candidates to interview. The app also features easy video resume uploading tools and video reference capabilities.
FirstString brings humanity and authentic transparency to the job search, selection, and hiring processes - giving the next generation of leaders the confidence and tools to successfully kick-off their careers.
About Ryan Shehan and Ryan Shehan Racing:
Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport sophomore Ryan Shehan scored his first F4 United States Championship Powered by Honda win this past weekend in the first race of a triple header at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP). The young driver has been a breakout star this season claiming podium after podium and those following him have been waiting with bated breath for this moment.
Shehan’s first F4 career win comes from a penalty assessed to the winner of race one, moving Shehan into the top position on the results sheets. After crossing the line .038 seconds behind in second place, a post-race call by officials relegated the initial winner down to sixth, and Shehan to the top step of the podium.
“It feels really good. Getting that first win is a big deal and gives you a lot of momentum throughout the rest of the season,” explained Shehan, “It has been something that we have been fighting for all season long. With the first win now out of the way, I am hungrier for more and can hopefully close the gap in the points championship.”
With two races on the schedule for Sunday, Shehan couldn’t let his first win excitement get the better of him. His had to be laser focused as tough competition fought in his rearview mirrors. Starting sixth, Shehan battled to a third-place result in race two on Sunday morning and then added a second-place finish in race three for a triple podium weekend. Standing on all three steps of the podium over the course of three races, the young Texan proved nothing could rattle him and that he is a force to be reckoned with as the series has two event weekends remaining to determine a champion.
Motivated to a victory, two new partners joined Shehan on track this weekend via the Pathfinder Program. Members Michael and Stephanie Johnson and Marc and Kristen King were represented on each side of Shehan’s car by their names and a Pathfinder logo as they helped fund him to victory at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
Shehan added, “It was the first weekend for two of our new Pathfinders, and to represent them on the top step of the podium with a win, and three podium results in total in their first weekend is such an accomplishment. This weekend is proof that hard work both on and off the track does pay off!”
About Joey DiDomenico and Vetted Retirement Technologies:
To know if a particular asset can be held in a particular retirement account that is owned by a particular person requires answers to a minimum of 11 questions for the simplest transaction available.
The average transaction, the purchase of private stock for example, requires about 20. Buying an asset, with partners, from people whom you have done business with in the past, and with acquisition indebtedness requires more than 50. The universe of questions that could be asked about a transaction in a retirement account is in the thousands. But no matter how complex the situation is, a conclusive review of the transaction can be done within a few minutes when the right questions are presented simply and with precision.
Millions of non-standardized assets are held in retirement accounts today where stakeholders are missing vital information. This can be changed with Vetted.
There is considerable lack of reporting by retirement account stakeholders today because of the difficulties in acquiring and processing accurate information.
Custodians and trustees, the IRS, account owners, and other stakeholders struggle for different reasons. Vetted provides elegant solutions.
The US Treasury forgoes $40b a year in tax revenue from income deferral to retirement accounts.
The opportunity afforded to US Taxpayers to save for their retirement is limited in scope and scale. There are taxable events that happen related to retirement accounts.
Vetted can narrow the tax gap.
Investments in retirement accounts have ongoing limitations.
Assets held inside retirement accounts have ongoing constraints with regards to parties they can deal with, how they are sold or leveraged, and other limitations. Changes to the activity or structure of these assets could change their requirements for reporting, taxation, and the ability for the retirement account itself to continue to be considered a retirement account.
About Chris Prefontaine, Founder & CEO and Smart Real Estate Coach
Smart Real Estate Coach, led by our family team, is a Wicked Smart Community of Associates all across North America that empowers individuals and families to live the life of their dreams. If you’re serious and committed to actually completing transactions, then Smart Real Estate Coach is designed specifically for you!
At Smart Real Estate Coach, we empower individuals and families to create the life of their dreams. We encourage aspiring investors and entrepreneurs to take the first step towards creating REAL income with real estate.
After many years of coaching and constantly doing deals himself independently, Chris Prefontaine founded Smart Real Estate Coach in 2014, bringing in his son Nick, daughter Kayla, and son-in-law Zachary as the company began to grow. The family team coaches investors on how to properly scale and automate their businesses throughout North America — all without using their own cash, credit, or taking out bank loans to buy property. Our team buys and sells homes in our own market every month. We then mentor, coach, and consult students and Associates all around North America to do the exact same thing. We stay current because we're in the trenches ourselves.
In 2003, Nick was in a severe snowboarding accident that left him in a coma for over 3 weeks. The doctors told Chris and his wife Kim that their son probably wouldn’t walk, talk, or eat on his own again. With a tremendous amount of care and encouragement, less than 3 months later, Nick was literally running out of Franciscan Children’s hospital overjoyed. As a way to pay forward the gift that was given to the Prefontaine family, a portion of every real estate deal is donated to Franciscan.
Smart Real Estate Coach is made up of several media properties, including coaching and mentorship programs, a YouTube channel, a podcast, several annual live events, a series of fully online self-guided courses with 100+ videos and more. Through our collection of self-guided video programs, group coaching, and one-on-one consulting, we teach these business owners to STOP building a company for someone else and start working on taking control of their own financial future. Our family team teaches them:
How to set up the necessary foundation for a successful real estate business: our vendors, virtual systems, lead generation, and more.
How to potentially generate the number of leads you'll need to allow you to accomplish the goals you seek financially.
How to find the best properties in your area and not fight over deals with other investors due to the unique techniques within our niche.
How to buy a gorgeous home for yourself without a loan or making a down payment.
How to create 3 paydays per deal vs. getting paid once like a wholesaler of flipper.
The different ways to buy homes without your cash or credit and still profit between $45,000-$200,000 per deal with all 3 paydays.
…and much, much more!
Between our existing Associates across North America (which we’ve dubbed the “Wicked Smart Community”) and our own deals, we’re still completing 12-15 deals every month and control, as of now, tens of millions of dollars’ worth of real estate with little to no money down. If you’re serious about making money in the world of real estate investment, then team up with the family business that gets results!

About Eric Bourget and HalfSerious:
As a specialist in designing and delivering custom SaaS solutions, I have helped dozens of CEOs, mostly non-technical, go from Vision to Reality.
My career path as an engineer, designer, and entrepreneur has led me to a unique set of beliefs when it comes to helping organizations actually deliver innovation to the market.
User experience has the power to lift all other aspects of the business.
Business and Technology leaders will have a hard time delivering unless a Design Leader is also present.
Innovation projects need to be protected from the distractions of the main business.
Demand-generation trumps everything.
This is why I created HalfSerious. A Skunkworks Agency focused on helping CEOs and executive teams deliver innovation.
HalfSerious helps non-software businesses launch and scale SaaS solutions.
Scaling a company has always been a challenge and the current talent market is making things much worse. Most of our clients launch SaaS solutions so that they can scale the business without materialy adding to headcount.
We have developed technology, processes and pricing model ideal for taking ideas all the way to traction. Many of our clients today benefit from their SaaS business model without employing a single developer.
The benefits: higher valuation for the company, higher margins and a more scalable business.

About Crystal Lou and CLou Capital:
Do you need help scaling and growing your business and real estate portfolio? Well, that’s where I come into play. Hi, my name is Crystal Lou. My business card reads a lot of different titles, but if you look carefully for the fine print, you'll see Corporate Fairy Godmother spelled out in invisible ink.
You ask, Why do I believe in what I do? What makes me stand out from everyone else? Well, let me start from the beginning. From a very young age, I knew I was different from everyone else, not because I had a gymnast suit on at the age of 5 doing backhand springs in my mom’s living room. (Thank you, mom.) But, my friends always wanted to play the role of the pretty princess, a damsel in distress. I, on the other hand, wanted to be the Fairy Godmother who saved the day. The one who made it all happen behind the scenes – she owned that story like a boss.
As I grew up, I took my desire to create magic and give life to others' dreams with me. I was then given incredible opportunities throughout my career as a CEO / CFO /CMO / Chief of Staff / Officer / Board Member, and helping companies from being in the red to profiting turned out to be my calling in life.
In every role I have had for the past 17 years, I have embraced my "magical" skill-set. I have found great success in leveraging my talents in my career.
No one remembers the Fairy Godmother, just the beauty and elegance she fabricated. I stand proudly by my teams, gaining success, and feeling accomplished when we are effective and empowered together.
A longstanding ambition to be the best Real Estate Investor & Developer in the industry has been our main inspiration since opening our business in 2020. At CLou Capital LLC, we’re not just building properties and raising capital for our clients—we’re elevating industry standards.

About Malwina Rewkowska, Margaret Sobolewski and MiniOwls Inc:
A driven entrepreneur who strives to do something new every day. Great team leader with the ability to build, motivate and inspire teams. Together with my best friend, we have created MiniOwls Inc. We are stay at home moms who craved their surroundings to be an oasis of calm and organized picture-perfect home. We believe that: “Being organized is not about being perfect. It’s about customizing your whole world to work for you.” From that idea we founded MiniOwls Inc - the company that offers a line of high quality organizational products.
Affiliation with Amazon allows our company to provide easy and affordable online access to products that meet the individual needs of each client. MiniOwls strives to provide great customer service, making every consumer a satisfied, returning customer.
The company also makes every effort to touch the lives of many, not only through creating beautiful, organized places, but also by giving back to the community by donating a percentage of profits from all sales to breast cancer & autism foundations.
We are very proud to say that from 2014 to 2017 MiniOwls Inc has been creating a lasting change in women’s health, as $14,080.90 of our donation went towards Canadian Cancer Society.
We are also supporting families on their autism journey to see the spectrum differently by donating $2,858.00 to Autism Canada.
MiniOwls is the collaboration of childhood friends: Malwina and Margaret, two moms (with 5 kids between us) that have been driven crazy by the mountains of toys scattered throughout our homes!
Just like most moms we became overwhelmed by the growing amounts of toys that our children have, love, and can’t seem to part with…and we’ve dreamt of the calm and clean spaces we’ve seen on Pinterest.
With the understanding that being organized is not a matter of being perfect, but a matter of customizing spaces that work for each of our families, we began to think about storage solutions that can help calm the chaos that inevitably comes with young children! This was where MiniOwls and our toy hammock were born – After all, if it works for us, it can definitely work for other families as well. And it did, as we quickly became the Toy Hammock Queens
MiniOwls is a family run business that offers premium products designed by us, two experienced moms, and are tested by our 5 energetic and creative kids.
MiniOwls solutions are European, high-quality organizational products that have helped save our sanity – we know they can help you too! Toy hammocks (which now come in 7 colors) were just the beginning! We have expanded our space-saving products to include a toy chain, storage bean bag chairs, labels, and many more to provide simple and borderline brilliant solutions that will help turn parenting – or at least cleaning the toys – into a breeze!
About Jay D. Miller and Fault Line Sales, LLC:
Trained in B2B sales at a Fortune 50, followed by B2B direct sales for a San Francisco-based, Venture Capital funded technology start-up, again followed by B2B direct sales for a London-based, bootstrapped technology startup, I bring a rather diverse background and experience to any sales team. Since leaving the London startup and moving back to San Francisco, I’ve been consulting with funded, early-stage startups and other SMB’s as a Fractional Sales Manager/VP/CRO. In this role, I benchmark the Sales Best Practices of startups and SMBs around the country, then bring that knowledge to bear for companies here in the San Francisco Bay Area, nationally, and internationally. Areas of focus range the full sales cycle, beginning with lead generation and prospecting, and working through Qualification, Negotiation, Objection Handling, Deal Closure, Account Management, Pipeline Building, Funnel Management, and more. As I move clients through the exercise of building out their Sales Process, we also cover sales technology topics such as Sales Enablement and Sales Engagement tools, CRM selection and implementation, Contact Databases, Call Recording Systems, etc.
My interest in working with startups on their Sales Strategy/Sales Process problems began after I’d spent a few years with two different technology startups on two different continents. While with these startups, I often would attend startup hiring events, conferences, and any other event I could find to attend. At these events, I would make it a point to spend a few minutes with the founder(s) and/or the executives of these companies and I would always pointedly ask about their sales process or sales strategy. WAY more often than not, I would be told that no such process or strategy existed, and that others would buy from them simply because their product or service was just so darn good! Over more than 350 such interviews, I began to see a pattern...and an opportunity.
Fault Line Sales helps small businesses, and funded-startups, to sell like big business. We do this through the implementation of a proven & repeatable sales process.
Fault Line Sales was founded in 2019 by Jay D. Miller.
Having spent 15 years in B2B sales, selling first for a Fortune 50 company and following that with sales and sales leadership roles at technology startups in both San Francisco and London, Jay brings a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to the art and science of selling in the B2B space.

About Andrew Russell and RCG Mortgage:
With a strong psychology background, mortgage loan originator Andrew Russell has built a thriving business that puts people first. Before heading into the mortgage industry, he earned a Master’s degree in psychology and was a guidance counselor and a football coach.
He first dipped his toe into the mortgage industry by working as a telemarketer for a broker — a job that would help him realize his love for sales. While he started this new career in his early thirties right at the crash of 07/08, he found that he loved the work and the challenge.
Andrew’s vision was to open his own company and his dream became a reality in 2017. RCG Mortgage, based in Long Island, New York, started with only two other people. Since that time RCG Mortgage has grown to over forty employees. Andrew Russell is now the number one mortgage broker loan originator in the Long Island market by Scotsman Guide for the second year in a row. RCG Mortgage specializes in residential loans and using new products that have helped them grow their market share.
While Andrew owns the company, he also continues to help buyers get the best mortgage that fits their needs. “I would never move away from working with clients and doing what I love,” he says. “However, I also have a granular understanding of how to build a team and how to offer great service to our clients and our realtor clients.” Their company’s value proposition is geared towards their realtor partners, with an in-house digital marketing division that offers in-depth training. The realtors receive high-end skills training particularly focused on digital marketing and social media. This includes how to grow and scale their presence online. “We’re helping realtors grow their business, which in turn has resulted in our company building up a large following,” Andrew says.
When he’s not working, Andrew spends time with his family — his beautiful wife and amazing children. He’s active in the community and is a member of multiple chambers of commerce. RCG also gives back wherever possible through fundraising efforts. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they donated over five figures to the Northwell hospitals to support their time of need.
Here at RCG Mortgage we pride ourselves on our transparency, accountability and being able to provide a “Nordstrom” experience coupled with a “Ford” assembly line. RCG is glad to work with any and all clients, no matter what their financial goals may be.
Based in Hauppauge, NY, RCG Mortgage is a multi-faceted mortgage broker company specializing in the local market’s needs. RCG Mortgage was founded in 2017 by broker Andrew Russell with the end goal of making the mortgage process as easy and efficient as possible for a mortgage client.

About Lyn Yaffe
Lyn Yaffe, M.D., was instrumental to the development of the concept of EPR during the research and development work at the Safar Center of Resuscitation Research, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine. Lyn has been dedicated to the concept and knowledgeable with regard to its emergency life-saving utility and potential applications in the field of resuscitation. Given the complexities of the EPR procedure and the demanding setting in which it will be used, these points take on special importance in this regard. Lyn and his team are therefore the best group to bring EPR forward successful development and product commercialization. Lyn completed undergraduate education at the Johns Hopkins University, School of Arts and Sciences, majoring in biophysics, in 1968. He received his M.D. degree at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine, in 1972, and completed pathology and research post-graduate training at Columbia University, New York, NY, with additional molecular biology research experience at the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology, in 1978. In the past decade, Lyn has been actively involved in research and development programs related to (1) patient/casualty monitoring strategies, (2) emergency hypothermia and rapid cooling techniques for point-of-injury care to induce ultra-profound cooling and suspended animation (EPR), and (3) semi-automated to automated, rapid vessel access techniques for therapeutic hypothermia, and a range of automated needle/catheter guidance and placement technologies.
About EPR-Technologies
Our Vision is that EPR is the next emergency life-saving “Standard of Care” procedure following failure of CPR on any victim of cardiac arrest. And that every victim is able to come home from the hospital and live a normal life.
The company is a biomedical spinoff of the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research, University of Pittsburgh, and is committed to the preservation of human life through rapid profound hypothermia by introducing patented products for “Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation” (EPR) to save a life when standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) fails.
About Teonna Woolford and Sickle Cell Reproductive Education Directive:
Teonna Woolford was born and raised in Baltimore Maryland. She has always been talkative, friendly, and full of life. She has Sickle Cell Anemia SS and has faced numerous health complications as a result. A true fighter at heart, she has recovered from numerous complications including bilateral hip replacements, a failed bone marrow transplant, many pain crises, and several other complications. She has a zeal for effecting change throughout the Sickle Cell community and understands the realities of those impacted by the disease.
While sickle cell has been a huge part of Teonna’s life, she does her best not to let sickle cell define who she is. Teonna has had opportunities to discuss sickle cell advocacy with world leaders including Former First Lady Michlle Obama and Congressman John Lewis. She has been blessed to sit at some incredible tables and contributed to publications and working committees with the American Society of Hematology and NHLBI. She is also the founder and CEO of a new nonprofit organization, The Sickle Cell Reproductive Health Education Directive.
Sickle Cell Reproductive Education Directive (SC RED) was conceptualized in 2020 and established as a 501c3 nonprofit on April 8th, 2021. Our co-founder and CEO, Teonna Woolford sought to create the organization because she felt defeated by fertility struggles after a bone marrow transplant. When researching and seeking resources for fertility preservation, she found very little information about fertility and sickle cell and no resources to help pay for the costly procedure.
Teonna reached out to Dr. Lydia Pecker, a pediatric hematologist, about starting an organization that could provide fertility preservation grants to sickle cell warriors undergoing curative therapies. Dr. Pecker, whose research areas include fertility and reproductive health of sickle cell patients, was excited to hear Teonna’s vision and agreed much more needed to be done to improve both policies and health care practices.
World-renowned hematologist Dr. Kim Smith-Whitley joined the cause after meeting Teonna at a conference where she presented on the reproductive health needs at different stages of life. Together these three powerful women founded an organization that advocates for high quality reproductive health care for individuals living with all types of sickle cell disease.

About Elliot Justin and FirmTech:
Dr. Elliot Justin is an Emergency Medicine specialist and health care technology consultant in urology, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. As an entrepreneur, he has originated and advised several health service, telemed and tech startups. His interest in regenerative medicine and his passion for regular playful lovemaking and its health benefits have inspired FirmTech, his latest venture promoting sexual wellness.
Keenly interested in keeping men firm and fit for a lifetime of lovemaking, Justin began exploring aphrodisiacs in medical school in 1975. (Bad news, none of them work). More recently he researched neuro-modulation therapy for sexual dysfunction. Part of the study involved testing a pacemaker-like implant to help achieve erections in rams (and himself). Nicknamed “Project O,” the experiment ultimately failed, although it refuted published claims by urologists.
His wife has nicknamed him “The Louis Pasteur of Human Sexuality” for his bold research and self-experimentation. Undeterred and focused on “sexcess,” Dr. Justin and his FirmTech team have developed a transformative tool to help men optimize personal “erectile fitness,” and to inspire better cardiovascular health. Since 1988, Dr. Justin has founded and exited three Emergency Medicine service companies, and established Swift MD, a telemedicine company. He’s also a lead investor in KORE, a company that transforms agricultural and industrial waste into natural gas.
Dr. Justin concentrated on Slavic studies at Harvard University (1971-’75) and medicine at Boston University (1975-’79). His studies instilled skepticism toward the conceits and prognoses of experts, antipathy to authoritarians and true believers, and kindled a passion for liberty and objectivity. Above all he believes the inability to admit error and uncertainty are the roots of friction and failure.
In 2014 he established Pegasus Liberty Foundation to fund research on the prevalence of slavery and efforts to rescue and rehabilitate slaves in India, Nepal and Burma. He also has served on the advisory board of the Freedom Fund.
Passionate about history, economics and pre-20th century literature and art, Dr. Justin wrote the novel “The Chastity of Honor,” about the country’s first war against jihadis during the Jefferson presidency.
Happily married for 33 years and the father of three adult children, Dr. Justin and his painter wife live in Montana with two energetic mares. He is a passionate trail rider who sometimes imagines, to his wife’s chagrin, that he’s a centaur.
We use smart sextech to measure hardness, orgasmic power, and the number of erections during sleep in order to help men optimize their personal Erectile Fitness and enjoy better sex and health.

About Dan Barrett and Plutus Software Inc:
Plutus Software Inc designs and distributes software for the bullion, coin, and collectible industry. Our main product is Aureus Point of Sale, which is a state of the art point of sale system integrated with a customized website and shopping cart specifically for the bullion and coin industry.
Aureus POS was the vision of our founder who looked at the bullion and coin industry and realized that there was not a product to assist retailers to not only record their buy and sell transactions, but to create a system to further help manage clients, increase marketing opportunities, and simplify reporting and bookkeeping.
It was also obvious when looking at the landscape of bullion and coin dealers that the need for a complete remake of the online image and presence was desperately needed. Efficiencies needed to be driven out of the management of the business in order to help improve profitability as well as increase sales. As such we believe that having an integrated, easy solution would appeal to both the tech savvy and the tech-fearful. We do all the heavy technology lifting so that you do not have to.

At Habitats by Kat (HBK), they approach the travel industry and being a “host agency” differently from the rest of the industry. Their goal is to attract the next generation of travel professionals who perceive being a “travel agent” as a dying breed. For this reason, they have created a platform that speaks to Millennials and Gen-Z with digital marketing, custom hotel technology and unique suppliers in mind with a strong sense of community. In today’s world, people can find travel tips and ideas on TikTok and Instagram; they are helping those on these platforms (aka travel enthusiasts, bloggers, influencers, etc.) monetize their social accounts and reach further.
They believe selling travel means many things, not just booking hotels, resorts, and cruises. They have community calls but also provide one-on-one coaching whenever you need support. Kat (founder) has 10 years of hotel experience and was in Marriott's Global Sales Organization managing an account portfolio of 50 million. Sam (co-founder) was a VP at a PR healthcare agency based in NYC/LA. With their combined experiences, they have you covered with all aspects of your business.
They allow those with no travel experience to join their community. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, starting an online travel brand is 100% possible. They have consultants with experience in tech, real estate, content writing, healthcare, fashion, etc., who bring their best practices and skills to earn money through travel. They believe these experiences are valuable for everyone to learn from.

Cog Systems, a cyber security company. Our Solution
Cog has been preparing for the revolution in connected device architecture since 2014. The traditional architecture of IoT and other connected devices has created innumerable opportunities for bad actors to compromise the device, thereby forcing security policy to accept higher risk and restricted access, which in turn poses a burden on users. We have adopted an embedded solution built on formal methods, modularity, proactive security, trustworthiness, and adaptability to enable highly secure connected devices.
Our Approach
Cog leverages modularity to isolate critical functions and services on connected devices. This approach pro-actively secures these devices by reducing the attack surface and increases reliability by eliminating single points of failure. Cog focuses on securing the kernel, data, and network as the baseline to our security. Additionally, we can isolate specific applications, operating systems, or services to further achieve a full defense in depth based solution. The system can scale linearly and infinitely, thus reducing bottlenecks and preserving performance. All of this is available for the IoT market with the flexibility to run all applications effectively and securely.
This unique approach provides the assurance of high grade security for the device so our customers can focus on delivering best-in-class IoT applications, performance and usability for their customers.
Cog built and enabled the world's most secure connected devices, provided advanced operating system and platform development products and services for smart, connected and IoT devices.

About Rene Rodriguez and VIDIT:
I am a truly entrepreneurial soul with an innovative mind and nearly 30 years of progressive experience in developing businesses in various industries. I have developed the skills necessary to launch successful, first-to-market, businesses, and manage all aspects of their daily operations.
Also, I have a tremendous passion for building teams and believe that, with the right tools and help, everyone can reach their full potential.
OUR STORY
Rene Rodriguez is augmenting the reality of augmented reality at VidIt, the leading platform for creating and sharing AR experiences.
Rene discovered his passion for entrepreneurship at a very early age. His first venture was building a direct sales company, through catalog sales to retail stores. After he got involved in the promotional industry, he truly discovered the power of branding and marketing. He then transformed a simple product, a flower, into a multimillion dollar phenomenon where he and his team created a new industry of beautiful expression, which is now distributed in over 40 countries www.speakingroses.com.
One day Rod, Rene's closest associate, came up with a special gift: a piece of the original "Back to The Future" movie tape. It was the pair’s favorite scene, a movie advertisement where a hologram shark snaps at Michael J. Fox. That exchange was in 2007, the same year the original iPhone was released. That’s when he saw the vision. The world will become a virtual canvas. That same year he got introduced to Augmented Reality and from that moment he realized that he would want to be part of that world, the next trillion dollar industry. Rene and Rod have been working in the AR space ever since, creating, recruiting, testing, breaking and developing AR experiences for all digital landscapes. Defining and comprehending all the pros and cons of existing in those early stages of this new world. Rene knew it was only going to take the right spark to ignite this industry into a blaze that will take this world to the next evolution of communication, creation, and expression.
OUR VISION
Augmented reality will definitely a be new chapter in human behavior . Many companies are introducing AR into the legs and facets of their products and their means of communicating with their consumers. We believe that AR is so much more than that, we believe that Augmented Reality will change EVERYTHING! The way we shop, the way we educate, the way we communicate and the way we interact with this world. For the same reasons we believe that we need to bring AR a mainstream, we need to democratize AR, where every man woman and child can become an evangelist of this new behavior. Access through wearable devices, phones, computers, objects, and locations all around us will immerse us into this new world. We aim to create a world that will breathe life into this new layer to reality.
That’s why we need you. Be a part of building this new WORLD!
About Mike Hernandez and Casa M Spice Co:
Casa M Spice Co™ is a specialty spice company based in DFW that focuses on providing spice blends that deliver the best flavor possible for a wide range of dishes to arm everyone with the tools they need to be a hero in the kitchen or at the grill/smoker. Spices form the foundation of the flavor profile for a dish; using a well-crafted blend of spices helps anyone plate excellent tasting food without drama, fanfare, or much effort. Our line of spice blends was developed over more than two decades of holiday barbecues, birthday celebrations, and special occasions. While they were designed with grilling in mind, they are versatile enough to be used anywhere. Our mission is to provide the best flavors possible because great flavor makes great food, and great food makes great memories.
Casa M, the house of Manny and Mike, had long since become synonymous with incredible hospitality and gourmet foods that always had a signature flavor and background heat. Throughout the years it became customary, as folks were leaving after a meal, that we were asked “what did you use on this?” or “what was that flavor?” Almost inevitably that turned into “will you share the recipe?” or “can I buy some somewhere?” and it got to the point where Manny jokingly said “we should think about going legit instead of selling dime bags of Chain Reaction® from the house!” The next thing we knew, Casa M Spice Co® was born.
Dr. Mike has a PhD in chemical physics and has always thought of cooking as Chemistry in the Kitchen®. Our signature blend, Chain Reaction® gets its name from his physics background and it is quite literally good on everything (including many things you would never imagine like cheeses and fruits.) Adding a sprinkle of Chain Reaction® to a burger or steak enhances the taste without overpowering and lends a signature flavor that is hard to replicate yet very recognizable.

About Alexander Frantzen and Carbon Calories:
Alexander Frantzen
Alexander is the founder of Carbon Calories. We develop solutions for companies to account and report the carbon footprint of products. We are an early-stage, mission-driven company pushing for greater transparency and individual agency in the carbon emissions ecosystem.
Alexander built his first lifestyle carbon footprint calculator, Energy We Need, in 2013, presenting it at the Sixth International Conference on Climate Change. In 2015, Alexander built a mission-driven assessment of the capacity of a $100/Mt price on carbon to catalyze income distribution and terrestrial ecosystem preservation and restoration based on successfully executing the Great Transformation.

Jeff Medici, Founder & CEO, Fury Athletix, A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Jeff Medici and Fury Athletix:
Jeff Medici is a real entrepreneur as he took his passion for LEGOs to becoming a real estate developer. After building Southlake, Texas's second hotel, he took his passion for hats to create his own athletic headwear business Fury Athletix.
After decades of playing nearly every sport you could imagine, Fury founder and CEO, Jeff Medici, realized there was a significant gap in the athletic headwear space. While countless apparel companies offered hats, few, if any, focused exclusively on providing athletic headwear that combined style and enhanced performance. Fury carries hats specifically designed for each type of athletic activity, such as running, golf, tennis, biking, hunting, and HIIT exercises. The brand has already become well-known for its headwear designed for athletes who aim to push the limits of their potential. His goal was to develop hats for athletes that multiply their performance and serve as a recognizable badge that unites athletes of all kinds.
Fury Athletix headwear is designed for athletes who aim to push the limits of their potential.
It all began with an athlete searching for a better hat. Jeff Medici, founder and CEO of Fury Athletix, recognized a gap in the athletic headwear space. There were plenty of athletic wear companies that happened to offer hats, but no athletic headwear company focusing on hats specifically. His goal was to develop a hat for athletes that multiplied their performance and would serve as a recognizable badge that unites athletes of all kinds.
UNLEASH YOURSELF
We have always believed that performance and competitive motivation multiply when combined with hard work and dedication. That is what unleashing yourself is all about.
This is a hat for those who are searching for their best self, and aren’t afraid to find it within.

About Kathi Perry DC and Health By Hands Wellness Center:
Health By Hands Wellness Center.
A Chiropractic Service which provides: Diagnostic Services, Techniques Utilized Applied Kinesiology (AK), Allergy / Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique (A/SERT), Cold Laser Therapy, Foot Detox, Nutritional Counseling, Lifestyle Seminars, and more.
"Beyond Chiropractic" began when Dr. Kathi was very young. She grew up in a family where her parents grew their own food, treated illnesses holistically and lived a wholesome, healthy life. When she was young, she didn't really understand wellness or living healthy, and she sure didn't know that her life path was to eventually become a healer to others!
Today, Dr. Kathi is one of the top chiropractors not only in Texas where she practices, but across the nation.
Since graduating from Parker College of Chiropractic in 1995, Dr. Kathi has dedicated herself to learning over 40 techniques so she can help her patients meet their personal healthcare needs. She shortly opened her private practice in Alvarado, Texas after graduation, and has built her "eclectic chiropractic" mix of different techniques which people need to get back to optimum health.
Today Dr. Kathi is one of only a few in a 6 state area who practice the Sacro-Occiptal Technique (or SOT) and the Lifeline Technique. She also is an Advanced BEST Doctor, Questor in the Total Body Modification (TBM) Technique, and holds a Texas State Radiology permit. In 1997 she earned her Fellow from the International Academy of Medical Acupuncturists. During the years, Dr. Kathi has studied with and been mentored by some of the “chiropractic greats” including Dr. Victor Frank, Dr. Karl Parker, Dr. M.L. Rees, Dr. Jolyn English, Dr. Curtis Buddingh, Dr. 'Skip' Skipsted, Dr. Martin Rosen and Dr. H. Lee Black.
Dr. Kathi is sought after as an author and instructor, and speaker. She recently published her first book “Defying Death: The Road to a Quality Life”, and is involved with seminars through Transformation University and soon to be, Transformation TV. She also is also a contributing writer for “Health and Well Being Magazine” distributed across North Central Texas.
Welcome to Health By Hands Wellness Center Center! For over 20 years we have proudly serviced North Texas patients, those who travel from other areas of Texas and in many cases, from other parts of the United States, Canada and Mexico.
If you’ve never been to our clinic, the first time you enter our office you’ll experience a warm and friendly environment. You’ll also be greeted by one of Dr. Kathi’s dogs, Cabo or Leo, who make sure all patients are made to feel like they’re at home. Our team is well trained to provide the highest quality care you need, and to answer any and all questions you may have!
About Charlie Corsello and Manny Vetti and TaxCure:
Charlie is been working within the tax marketing industry for over 13 years now. He is a former Googler and the previous owner of a tax resolution company. He is a graduate of Georgetown University, holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and is an enrolled agent licensed by the IRS.
Co-founder and president of TaxCure. We make finding and assessing tax resolution professionals easier.
Manuel Vetti, a graduate of the University of Vermont, started doing financial analysis and accounting work within XL Capital and then for Sempra Energy. In 2007, he began helping companies in the tax industry with digital marketing as well. As the former owner of a tax resolution firm, Manny understands the marketing and operational side of the business. Furthermore, Manny regularly contributes content and has a keen sense of topics to cover.
Taxcure is the first marketplace focused on helping taxpayers with major tax problems find and assess licensed tax professionals.
Our mission is to help taxpayers make better decisions when they face a significant IRS or state tax problem.
Millions of taxpayers a year fall into tax trouble with the IRS and state tax agencies. In fact, over 22 million Americans either have outstanding IRS tax liabilities, have not filed their taxes, or both. Due to the complexities of navigating tax codes, there are professionals (attorneys, CPAs, and EAs) that specialize in resolving tax problems. However, the market lacks transparency. The existence of many bogus review sites and large national tax firms that advertise heavily and overpromise, clouds the market. In a nutshell, it is very difficult to find and assess tax professionals that specialize in tax representation whether it is before the IRS or a state tax agency. We decided it was time to make it easier.
Founded by an Ex-Googler, Enrolled Agent and an Accountant
We decided back in 2016, that the industry needed changes. TaxCure is the first website dedicated to helping taxpayers assess and connect with licensed tax professionals that specialize in resolving major IRS and state tax problems.
Time to Level the Playing Field
We want all types of licensed tax professionals and tax firms of all sizes to have a fair shot at success. Every tax professional has strengths and weaknesses, so we set out to highlight these so taxpayers can make better decisions.
Tax Representation Is Nothing New But A Lot Has Changed Over the Last 10-15 Years
Tax representation is nothing new. After the passing of the Revenue Act of 1913 and with the increasing complexity of income, estate, and gift taxes, the role of enrolled agents and other tax professionals increased the need for taxpayer representation. Statutes were created which eventually lead to Circular 230, which establishes the rules governing attorneys, CPAs, and Enrolled Agents who practice before the IRS. Over the last 10-20 years, national tax resolution firms have largely emerged which has limited many small tax practices and independent tax professionals from competing. Unfortunately, many of the most experienced tax professionals providing tax representation services do not work for these large tax resolution firms.

About Jeffrey Morris and FutureDude Entertainment:
Jeffrey Morris is the director of the upcoming feature film Persephone starring Mary-Louise Parker, Brianna Hildebrand, Emile Hirsch and Malcolm McDowell. This neo-classic space adventure will begin production in 2020.
Since childhood, Morris has been a devoted science aficionado—focusing his passion on space exploration, oceanography, and meteorology. He channeled these passions into his creative endeavors, which were elevated over the years as Morris learned storytelling, illustration, and film production.
Morris was deeply inspired by movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner, and television series like Space:1999 and the original Star Trek, while scientists and explorers like Jacques Cousteau and Carl Sagan became major influences.
Morris began creating his own stories and tech concepts as a teenager. For nearly three decades, he has unified his interests through a focus on entrepreneurship, art direction, science education, and interactive media.
In addition to creating a number of books, documentaries, short films, music videos, and applications for the Apple iOS, Morris has worked for influential clients like NASA and is an active guest speaker on topics involving science and entertainment. His company, FutureDude Entertainment, got its name from a popular blog Morris has been running since 2012.
Over the past thirty years, Jeffrey has directed commercials, music videos, and documentaries. As an art director, he has designed logos, marketing campaigns, and websites. Most recently he has published comic books, graphic novels, children’s books, and award–winning science curricula. He also has led the development of the iOS mobile device game PARALLEL MAN: WORLD JUMPER and the TIMESPHERE interactive calendar and TIMESPHERE: US PRESIDENTS applications.
In the past three years, Jeffrey co-wrote, art-directed and published the universe-hopping, 7-issue comic book series and trade paperback PARALLEL MAN: INVASION AMERICA; the 6-issue weather-manipulation adventure series BRAINSTORM. and the graphic novel of his short film, OCEANUS: ACT ONE.
The mission of Jeffrey's company, FutureDude Entertainment, is to build a successful independent film production company focused on an approach that is rooted in intelligent, optimistic action and adventure stories—each with a sensibility not seen since the golden age of science-fiction cinema in the 1960's and 70's.
Jeffrey established the 'FutureDude' monicker in 2012. It began as the name of his highly-successful blog which morphed into the dba for his company, Morris FutureWorks. Whether consulting for international clientele or developing his own content, the vast majority of Jeffrey's projects feature a positive, futuristic spin.
FutureDude Entertainment is a premier source for captivating, future-focused adventure stories that span genres, media, and generations. Through intelligent storytelling and breathtaking production design, we are rekindling the imaginative spirit of science fiction for today’s fans and tomorrow’s as well.

Our Mission:
Our mission is to help fathers in the Low-country of South Carolina be a positive and consistent presence in their children’s lives.
How we can help:
We provide community-based programs and support groups for fathers, free of charge. We help fathers connect to other services they need so they can meet their responsibilities and secure their parental rights. We offer job coaching and employment connections that benefit fathers, their families and employers in our communities. We’re a resource for local organizations that want to provide family support and father-friendly services. We know engaged fathers are the best way to get to the root of problems that affect all of us—so that we can make real progress toward ending poverty, reducing crime and improving outcomes for children.
When fathers are engaged, children are:
More likely to graduate from high school Less likely to go to jail Better positioned to be good parents themselves
We strive to help fathers better themselves, their relationships and their understanding of how important a responsible, active father is in a child’s life. Building stronger families creates a better South Carolina for every citizen.
We always look for community partners who want to collaborate with us—from local law enforcement and family court judges to health clinics and churches who, like us, want to help fathers succeed.

About Rick Burnett and LaneAxis:
LaneAxis is the first Brokerless Shipper-to-Carrier direct freight network powered by blockchain and the AXIS Token.Deliver unprecedented logistics control, automation and cost-savings to Shippers, Carriers and all supply chain parties throughout the shipment lifecycle.
The LaneAxis team is comprised of transportation and logistics veterans with trucking company ownership experience, entrepreneurs with technology backgrounds including Artificial Intelligence, Algorithmic Programming, Blockchain and Smart Contract Engineering, and financial professionals with experience working for Fortune 500 companies.
Rick Burnett has devoted his career to solving the pain points and excessive costs that have crippled the supply chain industry for decades, particularly in the freight trucking sector. As a veteran of both trucking logistics and software development, Rick has a clear view of both the massive inefficiencies baked into freight hauling as well as the massive benefits mobile technology can bring to trucking. As early as the mid 2000s, Rick knew GPS technology could lead to a direct model where manufacturers could connect to directly to drivers, cutting out expensive intermediaries such as freight brokers and third party logistics companies (3PLs), which charge up to a 50% commission for often opaque and inefficient services.
Rick set out to develop such a system, but needed technology to catch up in the form of smart phones that could run such an advanced application. Once smart phones became ubiquitous, Rick filed a patent for a Shipper-to-Carrier Direct Optimization Platform, and in March, 2018, was granted U.S. Patent No. 9,928,475.
Partnering with American Association of Owner Operator (AAOO) with 100,000+ drivers the Professional Trucker app provides real-time visibility into the LaneAxis portal which allows shippers the ability to connect directly to drivers, carriers add drivers and push tracking link to provide driver visibility and network real-time data.
Rick is passionate about transforming the freight industry, and believes a shipper-to-carrier direct model is the way of the future in the Global Supply Chain.
About Carol Hoover and Trio Now:
With a long-standing career in the advertising, publishing and corporate identity arena, I have also branched out into environmental habitat-preservation and social justice fields of work. I have been principal of and have helped found several businesses. One, Triad Inc. was an internationally recognized corporate identity and design firm. Triad formed identities that lasted well into the future during the growth of the high-tech industry. Clients such as Electronic Arts, Novell, Bank of America, Torani Italian Syrups, Pacific Telesis and Fireman’s Fund Insurance Companies have all experienced successful award-winning campaigns working with Triad. That business has morphed into an independent consultancy, which is called Trio Now. With a great interest in the eco-aspects of the burgeoning organic and sustainable food practices industries, I am proud to be a founding partner in helping 1foodsource maintain its commitment in promoting sustainable and environmentally conscious companies with their marketing and branding strategies. I have also helped to found and am active with a non-profit organization, the Eyak Preservation Council, based in Cordova, Alaska. Working with co-founder Dune Lankard, we have helped stop clearcutting practices, and preserved over 765,000 acres of rainforest so far, by offering viable economic alternatives, and halted short-term destructive development in one of the most pristine wild salmon habitat areas on the planet – the Copper River and Prince William Sound watersheds.
Great design and long-lasting branding strategies for good causes and clients remain my passion. I strive for win-win-win solutions, for the long term.
Trio is a concept-driven creative consultancy. We specialize in progressive branding, identity systems, naming, marketing, packaging, events, licensing, product development, nonprofits, social justice campaigns — and fine design.
Our goal is to work with clients and campaigns that deliver successful results, and show a great respect for the environment, human rights, sustainable solutions, and social justice. Much of Trio’s work has a “giving back” component.

About Jacqueline Jones and Crystal Eikcaj Skin & Hair Care Products:
Jacqueline Jones, or Jackie (eikcaJ), is the fourth of nine siblings. She grew up extremely poor in the lower eastside of Detroit known as “Black Bottom.” She and her siblings were bullied by kids and adults because they did not have nice clothing and lived in a run-down home. Jackie’s dad worked in the foundry inhaling black dust all day long. Her mother stayed home and raised the children. After paying the bills to keep a roof over their heads, there was very little left over for food. Many days Jackie and her siblings went to bed hungry. Jackie was educated in the Detroit public school system. After graduation, she was determined not to let her past define her future.
Jackie pursued her education while working full-time and obtained an associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree, and master’s degree. She was the first sibling in her family to achieve this success.
Jackie has always been determined to be an entrepreneur. Over the years, she has had several successful businesses. In 1997, Jackie was diagnosed with many health issues and most recently diabetes in 2012. The symptoms associated with her illnesses resulted in hair loss, extremely dry skin, arthritis, etc. Initially, Jackie tried using prescription and over-the-counter medications to address these symptoms. However, these medications caused side effects and rarely produced any substantial results. Instead of complaining, Jackie decided to find solutions to her health challenges. Out of necessity, she experimented with organic shea butters, essential and natural oils to grow her hair and gain relief from extremely dry feet, hands, and body. The results that she achieved were outstanding. Her hair began to grow back and the moisture in her skin was restored without any harmful side effects. Jackie soon realized that she could help others without using harmful chemicals. To accomplish this, she created "Crystal Eikcaj™ Skin and Hair Care, LLC, (CESCH).
Today Crystal Eikcaj™ enjoys customers of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Crystal Eikcaj™ features skin and hair care organic products that can be used by anyone who desires to moisturize their skin (i.e. face, hands, body, and feet) and pamper their hair with organic products. Jackie continues to create new products and her motto is "Good products are created based on the people that they are for.”

About Natalie Boehm and The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation:
Iam an advocate for individuals and families who are battling epilepsy. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of two due to a traumatic brain injury. For many years epilepsy had control of me, limiting me to what I could do with my life. After years of battling seizures and going through many combinations of treatment, I made up my mind that epilepsy was not going to control me. I would not allow the stigma that is associated with epilepsy to take over my life.
In 2004, after years of trying different medications I became seizure free. I have accomplished many things in life I was told would never be possible. I went to college and established a career. I married my best friend and we have two sons. I am able to drive and support myself. For years despite my success, I hid having epilepsy in fear of losing my job, losing access to care. It took years before I realized in order to make change for those with epilepsy, I had to be honest about my condition and show others despite having epilepsy, people can be successful and have a productive life.
In 2018 I decided to pursue my MBA and in 2019 started to create The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation. After graduating with my MBA in 2020, we launched and began our work. Our mission is to provide the advocacy and educational resources needed to the epilepsy community and our society. Over the years, many organizations have become less focused on the community and more on pharmaceuticals, research, and working towards a cure. While that is very important and necessary, many people with epilepsy are not receiving the care they need. The result has had a negative impact on the community.
Due to the lack of education about epilepsy, many people do not understand what epilepsy is or that it even exists. Because of this, people with epilepsy face a very negative stigma causing unnecessary discrimination. People face discrimination in education, employment, and even in healthcare. Because of this, we need to help create resources for people with epilepsy and their caregivers to help increase educational and economic opportunities, improve quality of life, and in many situations save a life.
Currently we provide a scholarship for students battling epilepsy. We also focus on improving mental wellness for people with epilepsy, helping them gain access to care. People with epilepsy experience higher levels of anxiety and depression. Our long-term goal is to focus on the needs of the community to help people with epilepsy live a happy and healthy life and not allow the stigma of epilepsy to hold them back.
The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation was founded by Natalie Boehm. Natalie was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of two due to a traumatic brain injury. Despite developing epilepsy, Natalie went on to complete her education and find gainful employment. Natalie strongly feels that despite having epilepsy, there is no reason for her not to be productive and wants others with epilepsy to see that they can do the same. This is what she had to say:
I decided to create The Defeating Epilepsy Foundation when I realized that despite advances in research and treatment for epilepsy, the stigma remained. The stigma that is felt at a global level needs to be addressed and we need to do what we can to get rid of it. Through education and advocacy, it is my goal to help others do just that. I encourage individuals with epilepsy to advocate for themselves and find a supportive doctor who will advocate for them as well. I hid for many years my epilepsy despite being seizure free for years due to the fear I would lose my job and not be able to get my medication to survive. Hiding what I have gone though would only allow the stigma to continue. It is through my life experience with epilepsy I hope to help others not to allow the stigma to haunt them. My goal is to network and connect to other

About Charles Sidman and ECS Capital Partners:
My professional career has had three broad phases. Starting in my teen years, I started and ran an Information Technology consulting business that involved designing and building digital hardware, creating sophisticated programs that would now be classified as Artificial Intelligence, and using both stand-alone (Edge) hardware as well as the distributed time-sharing networks that evolved into today's Internet. Turning to biomedical research when I entered college, I earned AB and AM degrees in Biochemistry and a PhD in Immunology. For more than 40 years, I was involved in deciphering and applying basic immunological principles and mechanisms, helped develop the fields of genetic engineering and genomics, collaborated in neuroscience and behavior, and adopted the paradigm of complex systems for many problems in biological, cultural, and technological evolution. I also earned an MBA, and served as adjunct professor of management and ethics, during this period. Finally, after hearing the term Angel Investor for the first time during an academic sabbatical, I became involved in investing and policy work with early-stage enterprises, first as an angel investor and then as a crowdfunding advocate and venture capitalist. This last phase continues today with my founding of and full-time commitment to ECS Capital Partners, a venture fund focused on deep-tech and positive-impact companies. ECS Capital Partners, itself, constitutes a significant innovation for improving access to and results for every stakeholder in the early-stage asset class.
Besides these professional pursuits, I am blessed with my wonderful wife and life partner Amy, two outstanding children, and five grandchildren who, together with their contemporaries, will inherit the present generations' efforts.
Non-professional interests include the reciprocal rights and obligations of citizenship, fine arts, the environment and our shared future on this planet or beyond.
An innovative and globally active venture capital firm investing in seed and growth-stage technology-based companies that promise high financial return and positive human, social, or environmental impact.
ECS Capital Partners was formed to address the following general problems with early-stage investing:
-
Democratizing and Broadening Participation. Most people and institutions legally qualified and allowed to participate do not do so, because they lack the requisite time, experience, knowledge, connections, etc. We provide a mechanism through which to participate in this asset class easily, professionally and effectively, for the benefit of the investors themselves, the entrepreneurs supported and society in general. Under present law, tax-sheltered retirement accounts of Accredited Investors are eligible to invest. A further attractive possibility is for parents or grandparents to establish an account, that will grow substantially, for the benefit of their descendants.
-
Improving Angel Investing. Active Angel investors and their groups typically provide the first outside money to support early-stage enterprises, but are usually limited in both geographic scope and the financial resources to participate effectively in later rounds. We provide globally diversified deal flow and additional financial resources to allow continuing investment into the most successful companies, thus protecting and ultimately harvesting the greatest returns from Angel investments.
-
Providing Family Offices, High Net Worth Individuals, Institutions, etc., with well-curated and proven early-stage deal flow. Such deep-pocketed players have more than adequate financial resources, but usually lack means to sift through and identify the most promising early-stage opportunities among the very numerous, non-transparent and global universe of start-ups. We provide a regular and reliable flow of de-risked, well-understoo

There is no medical testing, or physical exams needed to qualify for coverage. The premium payments never change and the face amount coverage never decrease. Cash value will build up through the years that can be borrowed from, or taken out of the policy without repayment. Customers will use these funds for burial needs, bills, and other life expenses without burdening their family and loved ones. Coverage up to 100 years of age.
TRADITIONAL WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE
Usually purchased in the 30s and 40s but can be purchased at later ages usually up to 70 years of age. Can be purchased for individuals for life time coverage up to age 100. The premium payments never change and the face amount coverage can increase but never decrease over time. Cash value will build up in these polices and can be borrowed from the policies. In large face amount purchases there is medical testing and blood work done in the convenience of your own home. Children polices can be purchased for coverage at birth. The cash value in later years can be used for college, automobiles, or bills needed to be paid. Interest accumulation in these policies are normally much higher than what banks and credit unions offer. This makes traditional whole life an excellent option for many people.
SINGLE PREMIUM WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE
Usually purchased by people that have a lump sum payment that has accumulated from a whole life insurance policy through the years. Money that has been in a CD account at a bank. Any lump sum funds that are available to purchase this policy in one initial payment. The attributes that make this policy attractive to most people are there are no more insurance payments ever after the initial deposit. Customers that have their money in a taxable account can purchase a single premium whole life product which gives their beneficiaries no tax advantage owed when the money is disbursed. The single premium used to set up the policy also builds cash value and gives immediate cash value when opened. The face amount coverage is usually 1.5 times larger than the original deposit. There is medical testing done normally on this product.

About Nikki Boyd and Mahaba Healthcare:
Experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of working in the hospital & health care industry. Skilled in Teamwork, Critical Thinking, Logistics Management, and Interpersonal Communication. Strong business development professional with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ole Miss and a Bachelor of Arts focused in Criminal Justice and Corrections from Northwestern State University.
We help nurses define their careers and ensure hospitals get reliable staffing.
Our experience working and earning as per diem and travel nurses informed the dream to start Mahaba Healthcare Staffing Agency. However, having worked with enough healthcare facilities across the US, it was evident that many employer-nurse gaps still needed to be filled, and fast. Full-time nurses working as Telemetry nurses and PCU nurses are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the conditions and inflexibilities of their roles and workplaces. Professionals like yourself deserve a working environment where you are appreciated and treated the same way as their permanent staff without fearing burnout. Healthcare facilities face increased pressure due to surges in patient numbers, and they don’t have enough capable nurses to handle the volatility. As a result, they risk losing their JHACO certifications. These hospitals, telemetry units, and progressive care facilities reach out to us because they fail to secure the top nursing staff for relevant roles independently. Mahaba Healthcare staffing builds bridges between honest and dedicated nurses looking for accommodating employers who fit their schedules. Our straightforward solutions for these candidates and employers create an easy-to-follow experience that you should take advantage of today.
Our Mission
To create exceptional staffing solutions that help bridge the gap between nurses and healthcare employers via sound professional support, extraordinary dedication, and safe and ethical practices to bring forth a reality of seamless healthcare delivery in contribution to helping to solve the future problems of the healthcare industry today.
Our Vision
To become the leader in delivering staffing solutions to progressive care nurses, telemetry nurses, and hospitals in the US while setting the bar higher for workplace excellence and safety standards.
About Dieter Marlovics and RoboSig:
I am a seasoned technology entrepreneur who thrives on the successful execution of visionary ideas as well as funding, building, and leading the teams required to make it happen. I started my first business when I was 14 years old and truly enjoy working with other entrepreneurs to facilitate innovation, form a cohesive execution plan, make an investment, or provide positive energy to help take that first step and get through the inevitable difficult times.
In 1997, I co-founded my first technology startup called HyperMeals.com, which enabled online food ordering from local restaurants for delivery. In 1999, I saw an opportunity in the electronic futures trading space when I noticed a small Chicago floor brokerage firm didn’t so much as have email, let alone any meaningful technology whatsoever. I pitched the CEO of Gelber Group, LLC to fund the building of an electronic trading division inside the firm. Over the next decade as CIO, and my incessant entrepreneurial drive, Gelber Group evolved to become a highly profitable global algorithmic trading firm with over $100 Million in capital and more than nine data centers in three different countries. I sold my ownership stake in 2011.
In 2015, I launched and provided seed funding for ReallyColor, LLC, where we built patented technology that lets you turn your photos into coloring pages and custom coloring books, and have sold gift cards in Toys "R" Us, BJ's Wholesale, Sam's Club, and others.
In addition to other various business interests, I have published a number of book chapters and articles touching on my experiences and vision of technology management and leadership. I am also a singer-songwriter having released a handful of songs under my own name and under the name of my band, O.I.S. Digital copies of my music have been sold on iTunes and other digital retailers in over a dozen different countries.
The RoboSig dream team has developed autonomous, systematic, and AI-supported market-neutral trading strategies coupled with automated risk management, to generate the most consistent risk adjusted returns ever seen. RoboSig is turning the problem of low, or even negative, interest rates around the world on its head. Our autonomous technology searches for and takes advantage of transient anomalies as it profitably mines global stability via the $6Trillion/day FX market and beyond.
About Chad Silverstein and Choice Recovery:
Founder and CEO of [re]start, Choice Recovery, and Platform Partners.
I’ve worked in one of the toughest industries to do business for almost 25 years and developed a distinct approach to solving chronic problems. I build innovative collaborative relationships to produce common sense solutions that are not commonly practiced.
[re]start connects people to meaningful employment opportunities, but not just anyone. Individuals are referred to our online career development app by our clients, who we call "Sponsors". These sponsors are leading companies having a positive social impact by giving people the lift they need professionally so they don't have to find a job all alone.
Choice Recovery - collects what others can’t. We take the industry collection model and flip it on its head. The reason people can’t pay? Unemployed and unemployment. Instead of harassing people who find themselves in debt, we provide solutions to problems by helping people find meaningful employment opportunities.
Platform Partners - helps businesses scale the training and wisdom in their organization. Playbooks transform the onboarding experience for new hires, Teams leverage Playbooks to house all of the policies, processes, and best practices and delivers it to their team on a scalable online platform.
We take a different approach to collections for better results.
By taking a people-first approach to collections we discovered a way to get better results for our clients while helping those in debt. We recover what others can’t because we help people with the root cause of financial stress, which is why we help those sent to collections find new jobs so they can pay their bills—and we collect far more than our competitors because of it.
We are a 3rd party collection agency. Recovering money our clients may be what we do, but transforming people’s lives is who we are. We have a distinct approach not used by any other company in the collection industry.
By extending career services to people sent to collections, our results speak for themselves. Our “best place to work” culture guided by strong core values and a team who share a common purpose to help those we serve, puts us in a class not many other agencies can compete with.
With more than 20 years as a leader in the collection industry, we are an outlier in one of the toughest industries to do business.
We serve clients in Healthcare, Dental, Higher Education, B2B, and Financial Services.
Choice Recovery helps businesses recover what they can't using an innovative approach that is unheard of in the collection industry. When people can’t afford to pay their bills they have nowhere to turn. Empowering people and helping them find meaningful employment opportunities changes everything, for everyone.
People actually want to work with us, not run from us.We have walls covered with love letters to prove it.

About Mark Wilson and Natural Repellents LLC:
As President and Founder of Natural Repellents, LLC, makers of All Natural Tick Killz, I’m proud my company plays an integral role in supplying thousands of Landscape Professionals, Lawn Care Company Owners, Pest Control Operators and Do-It-Yourself Consumers with a Non-Toxic alternative to the chemicals often used to control ticks, mosquitos and other nuisance insects. Our focus is to safely and effectively control ticks and mosquitos, and to protect families and pets from a wide range of potentially harmful diseases that these insects can transmit; such as Lyme Disease, Powassan Virus, Zika, West Nile, etc.
ABOUT TICK KILLZ
Tick Killz is the best natural mosquito and tick repellent for your yard. It is used by hundreds of professional landscapers and pest control experts as well as do-it-yourselfers who prefer to spray their yard themselves. Tick Killz is the primary product of a company called Natural Repellents.
Natural Repellents, LLC was created in 2012 by a team of environmentally conscious individuals who came from diverse backgrounds. Those backgrounds included 25+ years in each of the following sectors: Consumer Health Products, Landscape Management and the Sciences. The collective vision for creating Natural Repellents, LLC, and developing the flagship brand Tick Killz, was to provide a natural, non-toxic alternative to the existing chemicals used to control and repel a wide range of nuisance insects.
There are arguably many nuisance insects we could have focused our attention on, however, we decided our initial focus would be ticks and mosquitoes because these particular insects can carry and transmit very harmful diseases to people and animals; such as Lyme Disease, Powassan Virus, Babesiosis, Zika Virus, West Nile and Malaria, along with many others.
Our mission is to have a meaningful and measurable impact on the number of people and pets that could be potentially exposed to or affected by these insects by creating the best natural mosquito and tick repellent for your yard. In addition, our mission is to have a meaningful impact on the amount of harmful toxins being used in our environment, thereby reducing the exposure our families, loved ones and pets have to harmful health issues. Some of the many health issues that have been scientifically linked to chemical pesticides over the past decade include cancer, neurological disorders, auto-immune diseases and gastrointestinal and digestive disorders. We are committed to shaping needed change for those affected by vector borne diseases through ongoing education and healthcare reform.
After developing many different product formulations and conducting extensive internal lab and external field testing, we launched Tick Killz in June of 2013. Tick Killz is a unique blend of essential oils and other All Natural ingredients that will help you safely protect your family, pets and loved ones. Tick Killz is available nationally through a network of distributors and online retailers. We’re extremely proud to supply the marketplace with a product that helps keep your environment pest free while lowering toxin exposure across the U.S. We will continue to work on expanding Tick Killz into other markets around the world and also deliver new environmentally friendly products in the future.

About Michael Sassano and Somai Pharmaceuticals LTD:
Michael Sassano is well known as one of the original investors in the cannabis industry. He is celebrated prominently in both mainstream business and cannabis media as an international authority on large-scale cannabis cultivation and medical product development. Michael is also widely respected for consistently predicting long term market trends.
In July 2020, Michael led a merger of the cannabis cultivation company he built called Solaris Farms, with The Sanctuary, a local Las Vegas brand operating two dispensaries and an extraction facility. In the four years prior, Michael was able to build Solaris out from a bare lot of land with just private equity into one of the largest and most well respected cannabis cultivation operations in the state of Nevada. As a result of the merger, Solaris is now one of the top ten private vertically-integrated cannabis companies in the state. Michael remains on the advisory board and will help sell the new vertical to a larger company in the future.
Michael has since shifted focus to his role as CEO and Chairman of the Board for Somai Pharmaceuticals LTD,an Ireland-based holding company centered on investing in manufacturing and distribution of GMP-certified cannabinoid-containing pharmaceutical products throughout the European Union. Taking with him the superior cultivation and product development knowledge honed in the competitive American west coast market, Somai is one of the first American-run companies operating across legal European markets.
Somai is currently building scalable high out-put facilities in Portugal and developing various strategic countries in Europe. The idea is to carefully develop processes for scalability and get proper registrations in order to expand as new countries legalize medical cannabis and new markets and demographics become available. As the continent ultimately comes fully online, Somai will be positioned as a top global manufacturer and distributor of EU-GMP-certified cannabis pharmaceuticals.
SOMAÍ Pharmaceuticals is a large-scale manufacturer of cannabis products, concentrating on the highest quality medical-grade pharmacological applications. We extract and purify bulk primary APIs of THC, THCa, CBD, CBN and other cannabinoids from the finest chosen cannabis flower. SOMAÍ's proprietary formulations have multiple combinations of cannabinoid concentrations which can be delivered by gel capsules, drops, transdermal patches and other innovative delivery methods.
All our products conform to the highest pharmaceutical standards and are produced with the latest technology to ensure consistency. Our team understands cannabis products and patient needs because of our vast experience on the west coast of USA, and we continue to research and develop the most innovative treatments for the World at our newest state-of-art Portuguese manufacturing facility.

Values
Our values embrace the universal truths inherent in relationships with others – Respect, Responsibility, Caring and Honesty.
History of the YMCA
The YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth is part of a worldwide organization dedicated to putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Founded in 1844 in London, England, the YMCA quickly became a popular organization. The YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth was established in 1890 when Fort Worth was just a frontier town. In those early days, a “Gospel Wagon” was used to transport young men from the streets of Fort Worth to rented YMCA facilities where their physical and spiritual needs were addressed.
In 1903, the first YMCA was organized to serve Fort Worth’s African American community, and in 1919 the branch became a part of the Fort Worth YMCA. The branch was renamed the McDonald YMCA in 1944 when William M. McDonald, a well-respected African-American businessman, donated a building which was used from 1944-1971. The McDonald YMCA moved to its Berry Street location in 1971 and merged with the Southeast YMCA to become the McDonald Southeast YMCA in 2013.
During the 20th century, two legendary leaders of Fort Worth, Amon G. Carter, Sr., and his son, Amon G. Carter, Jr., were instrumental in helping the YMCA grow. Amon Carter, Sr., served on the YMCA board in the early years, laying the cornerstone for the Downtown YMCA building in 1924 and helping establish Camp Carter YMCA with a gift of land in 1948. It was Amon Carter, Jr.’s influence, after serving time in a WWII prison camp and befriending a YMCA worker there, that inspired the development of Camp Carter. Like his father, Amon Carter, Jr., also served as the board chair for the Downtown YMCA. After his death, the central YMCA building was renamed the Amon Carter, Jr., Downtown YMCA in honor of Carter’s service as board chair.
Through the years, a number of additional branch YMCAs have opened in the Fort Worth area, including the Poly YMCA (1937), which later became the Eastside YMCA, the Northwest YMCA, which began as the Northside YMCA in 1946, the Westside YMCA (1948), originally called the Arlington Heights YMCA, the E. R. Van Zandt Southwest YMCA (1952), which began as the TCU-Southside branch, the Airport YMCA (1985), the Southeast YMCA (1991), the Clark Nowlin YMCA (1991-2008), the Ryan Family YMCA (1994), the Benbrook Community Center/YMCA (2000), the Hood County YMCA (2006) and the Northpark YMCA (2008). In 2013, the Joshua Community YMCA opened in collaboration with the City of Joshua. Also, the YMCA Sports Complex was opened in partnership with the City of Fort Worth that year. At

About Will Roundtree and We Management Services, Inc.:
Will Roundtree offers the world a unique lens into wealth building strategies and examines opportunities for his communities to expound on their knowledge and have effective practices in which they can apply that knowledge.
From homeless to millionaire, Will Roundtree has established himself as a staple in the real estate investment sector. His expertise has garnered him recognition among his peers and those in his community, equally. As the founder and top-grossing principal at We Management Services, Inc., Roundtree has helped over 1500 small to medium businesses get access to over 300 million dollars in funding during a two-year period.
Roundtree's road to success has been nothing short of miraculous. In 2005, he left his hometown of Milwaukee, WI, with a borrowed 500 dollars and headed towards Las Vegas. Once there, Roundtree found the ruthless realities of living without a financial plan and imperfect credit. His applications were denied for housing, and this left him homeless and living out of his car.
With this new dilemma at hand, Roundtree was inspired to, diligently, educate himself on personal finance and credit. He would walk into libraries and read book after book about credit laws, standard operating procedures, regulations, credit and economics. Eventually, this led him to become a FICO certified credit consultant. In this role, Roundtree has helped thousands of families successfully restore credit, become homeowners, obtain financial freedom and become flourishing business owners.
More than a decade later, Roundtree tours the country as a notable financial advisor, author, motivational speaker, mentor, community organizer, real estate investor and wealth builder. Just recently, he added a TedX to his ever-growing resume. Roundtree has led more than 700 workshops and seminars worldwide, consisting of an innovative curriculum he developed.
In addition to these accolades, Roundtree is ever-present in his community. With the inception of his non-profit he helped to co-found, CommonTree helps serve underprivileged children and families in Las Vegas, NV. His giving does not stop there. Roundtree lends his time to a mentoring program and is in his first round of his 50 Men series. This series is dedicated to the community, at large, who wants to learn and apply financial learning into personal growth in finance, starting businesses and creating generational wealth. 50 women will soon follow.
As a Las Vegas headquartered personal and commercial financial services company, our goal is to provide our clients with a high level of integrity, honesty, and communication.
Achieving financial success for your family and/or business can be complicated, but you’re not alone. We help families and entrepreneurs review and improve the different aspects of their financial life, no matter how messy, by addressing a variety of needs such as credit repair, business funding, wealth coaching, and more. Together, we can enact change for a better tomorrow for you and your family.

About Tom Joseph and Bookminders:
Bookminders is a premier outsourced bookkeeping service with clients in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The company provides timely, accurate and cost effective solutions for small businesses and nonprofit organizations. The company's unique approach affords work-life to our staff of degreed accountants, while providing clients access to highly skilled professionals they otherwise couldn't afford.
The inspiration for Bookminders occurred when my college educated sisters, who were busy raising families, had difficulty finding jobs with flexible work hours. This led to the creation of a company where work-life balance is the rule, not the exception. Bookminders success is due to our ability to attract highly skilled accountants and our cloud-based platform which provides the backbone for our home-based workforce.
The concept of Bookminders came about in 1984 when the Joseph family needed someone to run the accounting system for the family business. One of the family’s daughters had recently left the workforce to concentrate on her family, but was willing to do the job if she could do most of the work from home.
During this time, it became evident there were a growing number of talented, educated professionals who wanted to work, but had family commitments that wouldn’t support a 9 to 5 schedule. The simple idea of utilizing a home-based workforce turned into a great place to work when Bookminders was launched in 1991.
Bookminders’ unique employment model appeals to accountants who traditionally struggled to achieve work-life balance. Over the past 25 years, Bookminders has grown to be an industry leader in outsourced bookkeeping and is the Mid-Atlantic’s premier bookkeeping service.
The Philadelphia office of Bookminders opened in 2006. In 2017, Bookminders experienced unprecedented growth with the opening of two new offices: Cherry Hill, New Jersey in the spring and Baltimore, Maryland in the fall.
Bookminders has been honored by the American Society of Women Accountants as a Work/Life Balance “Company of the Year”, recognized as Pennsylvania’s “Home-based Business Champion” by the U.S. SBA, and named a seven-time recipient of the Pittsburgh Business Times’ “100 Fastest Growing Private Companies”.

About Noel Carroll and Biofriendly Corporation:
A life of marketing and business development has led to an odd career path. Viral video and website promotion, soccer goal manufacturing, feature filmmaking, and now... environmentalism? It has been a winding and diverse career, though looking back, I guess I would have it no other way.
While filmmaking was my dream job and I have heard more than once that people are ready for another Harker movie, the opportunity to run one of the fastest growing environmental companies in America was too important to pass up. Environmentalism has become an embattled, political topic and it needn't be. I have met and befriended many people from all political and socio-economic backgrounds and most people overwhelmingly agree that a cleaner planet is a good thing. But we're not listening to each other anymore and that just doesn't work. At Biofriendly, it will be our mission to not only bring easy, green solutions for the world's most pressing planetary problems, but also, to make environmentalism fun and approachable for anyone.
Biofriendly Corporation was formed to help humanity tackle the ever-present problem of environmental damage. The company’s first target was to help solve the global problem of air pollution. We live in a world that continues to bloom technologically and the need for electricity, shipping services and high-speed transportation has never been greater. Unfortunately, this still creates more and more pollution despite the worldwide effort to move toward renewable fuels and energy.
That’s where we come in.
Biofriendly’s flagship product, Green Plus® energy transition fuel additive has been verified to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the US Environmental Protection Agency as part of their Texas Low Emission Diesel program. Green Plus is also part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, having received a UN Eco-Label from UNITAR and CIFAL Argentina for its positive impact on carbon emissions. To date, Green Plus has prevented over 8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere and removed the emissions equivalent of a 200-mile lineup of cars from the road each year.
Biofriendly wholeheartedly supports the energy transition that we are seeing in developed countries from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. As such, we focus our efforts on cleaning the fossil fuels that have the longest path to transition. In developed countries, Green Plus is mostly found in diesel and fuel oil (as there are less electric options for large trucks and marine vessels), we are engaged in research and development to reduce aviation emissions. When treating fuels that require gasoline and ethanol, we focus our efforts on developing countries, where significant market penetration for electric vehicles is still many years, if not decades, away.
Biofriendly’s purpose is much grander than the fight against air pollution. There are many more problems that affect the health of the planet and we wish to do our part to solve those too. Furthermore, as humans continue to grow and innovate, new environmental problems will certainly arise. To confront this, we created Biofriendly Planet, an online network that provides, news, education and entertainment to inform and engage the environmental advocates of tomorrow.
Finally, Biofriendly seeks out and invests in new, green technology, and supports green and humanitarian organizations who share in our quest for a better planet.

Hydrogen (H2) therapy is an emerging field that utilizes molecular hydrogen for the treatment of various human diseases. Basic and clinical research has revealed that hydrogen is an important physiological regulatory factor with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. The effects of hydrogen treatment on oxidative stress- and inflammatory-related diseases are well documented. Molecular hydrogen is also the smallest antioxidant which can spread very quickly in your body and reach the smallest capillaries and even go through the brain blood barrier.

About Lisa Collum and Top Score Writing:
Fifteen years ago, Lisa Collum was frustrated by this reality while working as a teacher in a Title I school. She became frustrated watching countless students fail or struggle with writing, and their scores on standardized tests indicated a path that needed corrective action. There was no curriculum available to help teachers focus on real writing skills and to help students develop this critical life skill.
Lisa took this challenge as her own. She studied the common areas where students struggled and developed a curriculum to support students and teachers alike. In less than a year, she turned her entire class around from nearly failing to achieve a 100% pass rate. This is where Top Score Writing was born.
With such impactful results, word quickly spread the power of Lisa’s curriculum. Top Score Writing has since grown to include full teacher curriculums for 2nd through 12th grade, and now includes student workbooks, a digital curriculum, animated lessons, PowerPoint lessons, scoring, and professional development training.
Today, Top Score Writing remains the only proven system that makes teaching writing easier, helps students learn more effectively, and is proven to achieve a 70% increase in writing test scores, on average.
Top Score Writing is building the future writers of tomorrow and impacting the lives of every student who earns this foundation after completing the curriculum successfully.
Top Score Writing® is a simple and effective approach to informative/explanatory, opinion/argumentative and narrative teaching that prepares students for the state writing assessment providing both interactive online and blending learning resources to schools and districts.
Writing is the Fastest & Easiest Way to Increase Test Scores & Overall School Grades!
Most schools rely solely on reading and grammar programs to teach ELA skills, yet today's tests are heavily weighted on a student’s ability to write. The lack of writing-specific curriculums results in lower writing scores and lower ELA scores across the board.
Schools that implement Top Score Writing call us their "secret weapon" because Top Score Writing’s curriculum quickly and easily raises test scores on the ELA and across the board. After years of analyzing data, we can directly correlate the improvement in writing scores to higher overall grades.
What is Top Score Writing?
The one and only program specifically designed to prepare students for the State Writing Test! Top Score Writing is a Research Based Program. Many counties require that schools use research-based programs and Top Score Writing is just that! This is proven in a white paper written by IESD.

About Samantha Bove and ZenBoss Academy:
Samantha is the CEO of ZenBoss Academy, a women-led conscious consulting firm specializing in providing strategic coaching for purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
ZenBoss aims to dispel the myth that a business owner must sacrifice her personal life in order to achieve financial success. Rather, they advocate for channeling your work to fuel your health, relationships, and ultimate self-fulfillment. Through their unique coaching methodology merged with modern day digital marketing expertise, they provide the tools and guidance necessary to successful launch and scale a sustainable business.
Samantha graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in advertising, concentration in Leadership and certificate in both Sustainability Studies and Health + Spirituality.
I’ve been described by my clients as the love child Dr. Brené Brown and Tony Robbins never had. My specialty is teaching purpose-driven entrepreneurs how to launch their online businesses so they can serve more people and have more time doing the things they love.
WHAT LED ME HERE?
After graduating from the University of Florida with a BA in advertising, concentration in Leadership and certificate in both Sustainability Studies and Health + Spirituality, I came across a small farmers market company that ignited my entrepreneurial love affair with the wellness industry. They had a delicious line of plant-based soups with one incredibly powerful story. In the next 30 days I created an entirely new brand to better meet market trends and communicate the founders’ story. After launching the new brand in stores, sales quadrupled overnight. In this moment I learned the power of impact branding and storytelling. I went on to serve as the CEO and became well versed in what it takes to successfully brand a company, hire and lead a team, raise venture capital, expand retail channels and distribution, and launch a successful social media and publicity campaign.
After leading my first company to success, I was hooked and ready to serve more people. A few years later and 500+ hours of one on one coaching later, I now work with purpose-driven entrepreneurs launch their business too— without the overwhelm I felt as first-timer.
MY COMMITMENT TO MINDFULNESS
I experienced firsthand what it was like to preach health and wellness, while sacrificing my own values in order to grow the business and I'm committed to making sure you don’t make the same mistakes. My functional approach to consulting provides a sustainable road to success, rather than the traditional hustle-harder model that inevitably leads to burn out. Through my holistic methodology of 1:1 executive coaching intertwined with today's top digital marketing and sales strategies, I ensure my clients thrive both personally and professionally. I can't wait to work with you!
I help you demystify digital marketing and master the art of conscious selling.
The age of the overworked, stressed-out entrepreneur is over. Having worked with an array of clients from mindset coaches to Fortune 500 executives, I’ve found that strategy and spirituality must be intertwined to achieve long-term success. I’m here to teach you exactly how to launch your online business and give you the sustainable success strategies to keep it consistently growing— without losing yourself in the process.
About Sharon Devonish Leid and NetStruc PR:
As a young child, I saw my dad work a full-time job and have his own business. He would come home and work on his business. I never really understood why he did what he did until at the age of 10 years old when I asked him, what do you do every day after work? He then told me he created his own business to make sure my mother, my brother, and I were secure financially.
My mother was always encouraging me and my brothers to work to our fullest capacity, regardless of who we worked for and what we did. She demonstrated this through her work as a clerk then an executive in the Kings County District Attorney's Office. This is where my exposure to Criminal Justice began.
I began my career in the Kings County District Attorney's Office working as a Paralegal. I wanted to be an attorney. I never knew my life would change when I was offered an opportunity to work in the public and community relations departments.
Coming from a Law Enforcement background, working with the community, was opportunity that I was able to help so many people. I helped change their lives! I wanted to keep having that feeling of excitement for not only me or more importantly for those I helped.
When I left the City of New York, I decided to go and help others but in a different capacity. I decided to start my own business to help small businesses and entrepreneurs to tell their stories in an impactful manner. I saw that many of them didn't understand the significance of media exposure for their business success. They thought it was unaffordable or unattainable for businesses of their size. I offer a personalized and economical approach to put a spotlight on their businesses in the media.
In April 2015, I started NetStruc PR Agency, full of excitement! The moment I will never forget is the feeling I got when my first client was featured in the local media network in New York. Since then it has been my pleasure to help countless clients land their first media opportunity. I love when I get those calls from my clients telling me how the awareness about their business and leads increased from the media interviews I secured.
I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have three sons who bring us joy and excitement, there is never a dull moment with them. We try new restaurants and play jokes on each other.
If you are a entrepreneur or business owner looking to add media exposure to your marketing campaign, please schedule a complimentary consultation, https://bit.ly/FreePRConsult

About Kyle Wallgren and Edsoma:
Kyle Wallgren is an award-winning serial entrepreneur and the CEO & founder of the children’s education communication platform named Edsoma:“I started my entrepreneur journey at the age of 23 in the concrete industry. I was able to build and sell the company in 3 years and moved into the oilfield Industry . Five years later I was building another company with 34 employees, generating over $14 million a year in revenue -and yet this journey also taught me about how to navigate through unexpected downs.Eventually I decided to sell and moved from Canada to America, a country that always inspired me due to it’s pioneer spirit. Since living in the United States, I' ve built several companies and partnerships, strongly driven by the desire to build a better life for my son and daughter plus a unique legacy as an entrepreneur.When my 6 year old daughter came to me asking for me to read her bedtime stories the answer was always going to be yes -and geography should not throw a wrench into that commitment. No matter where my business travels would take me. Another motivating factor : after doing some research my team found that 50% of Americans read at a grade 8 reading level and 54 million adult Americans can’t read at all. From this we formed Edsoma, an app that unites and guides early readers...."

About Steve Schwab and Casago:
After college and several years in the military taking a vacation in Mexico seemed like a good place to recharge. Less then a year later I became the owner of Cyndi's Beach Home Rentals. Soon after, I changed the name to Seaside Reservations.
Now 19 years later I’m a veteran of the vacation rental industry. The company's value proposition is unique, as we bring higher occupancy because of our reach into multiple industries. Now with brick-and-mortar offices in 20 cities, the name "Seaside" no longer was fitting. A rebranding of the company to Casago has already proven to help expand our reach.
When I’m not on the job, I enjoy fishing, scuba, hiking with my son, working my way through the best dishes at local restaurants, and indulging my love for seeing new places.
It started with the simple idea that the owner’s best interest should always be our main focus, and it has grown to become our passion and the guiding principle behind everything we do and stand for. Each of our team members is trained to see themselves first and foremost as the owner’s advocate, and to make every decision from this singular mindset.
Upon completion of their initial training, each Casago team member takes an oath to be the steward of the properties they serve and to care for each of the specific needs of our high-end vacation homeowners. Whether you’re looking for revenue-producing vacation rental services, long-term home care management, corporate housing, or cleanings, our Owner-Centric™ philosophy delivers the care, income, and transparency that you deserve.
At Casago, our goal is to provide our valued customers with a vacation rental that makes them feel at home. We handpicked the locations of each vacation rental property to ensure that there is a choice for everyone.

About Subir Singh and Mico Spirits Co:
Experienced Co-Founder with a demonstrated history of working in the wine and spirits industry. Skilled in Negotiation, Sales, Management, Account Management, and Key Account Development. Strong business development professional with a Bachelor of Science (BS) focused in Business Administration - Marketing Focus from California State University-Northridge.
Born in Jalisco, Raised in L.A.
Mico Tequila is a new breed of tequila rooted in the Highlands of Jalisco. Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave using 3 simple ingredients - Agave + water + time.
The Singh family emigrated from Fiji in the early eighties. Ajendra “AJ” Singh, found himself living in Los Angeles with $1500 to his name. After working his way up as a CPA, AJ was approached by Martin Crowley, the co-founder of Patron Tequila, and was asked to help bring production of Patron’s tequila in-house. AJ moved to Guadalajara, became an executive in the growing Patron empire, and put it on the path to becoming the king of modern upscale tequilas. At the same time, the Singh family became close with the Nuñez family, who have been producing tequila in the small town of Atotonilco for 83 years.
Along with Maestro Tequileros, Karina Rojo, one of very few female master distillers in Jalisco, AJ and Juan Nunez set out to produce a tequila which reflected the fruit and floral notes of Los Altos. The result was a natural, agave-forward Blanco, free of any additives.
Produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Karina and AJ source agave from local farmers, hand selecting agave at optimal sugar levels no earlier than 7 years. Water is sourced from a well on property allowing consistency in quality. The agave is slow cooked for 48-50 hours in brick ovens. No autoclaves or diffusers are used to speed up the process. After 5-6 days in fermentation, the product undergoes a slow distillation process in 5000L alembic pot stills. Each batch of MIco Tequila rests for 2-3 weeks before bottling.
The barrel programs for Reposado and Anejo incorporate cask not only from Tennessee and Kentucky but also Cabernet barrels from Napa and Alexander Valley.
Family owned and operated. #Meet Mico.
About Daniel O'Reilly and Fuel Sales Academy:
Being in sales for over 30 years, I have grown to love the profession. I have had the opportunity to work in multiple industries, execute in all types of roles, and meet some amazing people. From selling perfume and vacuum cleaners door to door in my early days, to closing large technical sales, and everything in between, these experiences have all led me to become very passionate about two main things.
First, I know first hand how hard it is to make it in sales. The profession loses too many potentially amazing people due to lack of solid training, quality management, and overall poor experiences sales people are having early in their career. I have developed a passion for teaching and coaching and I am committed to providing an environment where anyone has the opportunity to start a career in sales in the most successful way.
I have also become very committed and passionate about the education space, specifically the K12 edtech market. Working with and selling into school districts is unlike any other B2B sales process I have experienced. I am attracted to the overarching mission to improve student achievement and love working with people who are truly trying to make an impact on this world. It has become my mission to share that experience by helping edtech companies in the K12 market to create more scalable and predictable demand for their offerings.
We are passionate about building the next generation of amazing sales people. Our clients share with us everyday how hard it is to find quality salespeople who can quickly become productive. Our unique “on-the-job” sales training model give you the ability to earn an income while you build your knowledge and skills in a real world environment, working with our clients.

Rob lives in Grand Rapids Michigan with his wife, Elizabeth and three children.
Where did the idea for Boxed Water is Better come from?
The idea started 10 years ago; long before plastic pollution was even recognized as a concern. A group of entrepreneurs in Grand Rapids Michigan started noticing the excess of plastic bottles everywhere they went; littering Lalapalooza, pallets stacked high in stores, on our beaches. They had no beverage experience, but inherently asked why can’t we find a better solution. Entrepreneur and Designer, Ben Gott designed the first box by making the proportions fit your hand, and fit in the convenience store cold cases. The team delivered cases out of their cars, and got paid in cash. It was very scrappy; but the first day it was in-store, we sold out…and knew that sustainability mattered to consumers.

About Edgardo Zuniga and Twin Valley Distillers:
Edgardo Zuniga, Owner & Master Distiller, Twin Valley Distillers, A DotCom Magazine Interview:
About Edgardo Zuniga and Twin Valley Distillers:
Opened by former chef Edgardo Zuniga, Twin Valley Distillers became just the third operating distillery in Maryland. We locally source our grain to produce the highest quality whiskies, and pride ourselves on sustaining the local ecosystem with our farm partners.
Emigrating from Costa Rica, Edgardo has incorporated his background into Twin Valley's ever-expanding product line. Flavors of Central and South America as well as the Caribbean echo throughout our bottles, and of course a little there's a little taste of Maryland as well.
A Brief History of Maryland and Whiskey
Maryland is a whiskey state. Not just because of the fact that Marylanders love to drink whiskey, but there is also a longstanding history of whiskey here. While it may be true that the most famous bourbons in this country come from Kentucky, it was actually Maryland and Pennsylvania that would be the birthplace of American whiskey in late-18th century America. It was excess rye that subsidy farmers in these states used to turn into Rye whiskey, which eventually led to the Whiskey Rebellion (1792-1794) that sparked a paradigm shift in the ways that Americans view whiskey. It is our goal to return the tradition of great whiskey to the state of Maryland. Our 1794 Rye Whiskey pays homage to the longstanding relationship between Maryland and whiskey.

About Jeffrey G. Marx and Cerapedics:
Jeffrey Marx serves as President & Chief Operating Officer, overseeing regulatory, quality, manufacturing, and R&D efforts for the company. With some two decades of experience in executive management with medical device companies, he brings considerable expertise in research & development, commercialization, sales management, business development and strategic planning. His experience includes over 13 years with Orthovita, where he was VP Corporate Development. When Orthovita was acquired by Stryker Orthobiologics, Jeff led the team that integrated the two companies; he continued as VP Corporate Development at Stryker. He has earned a Ph.D. in Ceramic Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla MO.
Cerapedics is an advanced orthobiologics company with i-FACTOR® Peptide Enhanced Bone Graft.
Among 400+ spinal bone grafts on the market, spine surgeons can feel confident in choosing i-FACTOR Peptide Enhanced Bone Graft which is backed by Level 1 human clinical data from an IDE study published in Spine and Neurosurgery. In this study i-FACTOR demonstrated high fusion rates and statistical superiority vs. autograft in overall clinical success.
One of only two Class III FDA-PMA approved spinal bone grafts, i-FACTOR is the leading evidence-based alternative and is powered by a first of its kind molecule called P-15: Osteogenic Cell Binding Peptide. i-FACTOR is free of many safety risks seen with other products such as ectopic bone formation and on average costs at least 30% less expensive than other drug-device combination products.
ABOUT i-FACTOR Bone Graft
Our lead technology platform (i-FACTOR Peptide Enhanced Bone Graft) is the only biologic bone graft that uses a unique small peptide attachment factor (P-15) bound to anorganic bone mineral (ABM). This novel (ABM/P-15) combination acts as an attachment factor for osteogenic cells.
History
The first P-15 enhanced bone graft substitute was developed for use in the oral cavity by CeraMed Dental – the precursor to Cerapedics – under the leadership of Andrew J. Tofe, PhD. The product received PMA approval in 1999 based on the results of two prospective multi-center investigations. It remains the only dental bone graft substitute with FDA approved claims of superiority over demineralized bone matrix (DBM) allograft and alloplasts. Since approval, ABM/P-15 has been used in an estimated 500,000 procedures.
From these roots, Cerapedics has reformulated the (ABM/P-15) product and branded it i-FACTOR Peptide Enhanced Bone Graft to capture the unique “attachment factor” mechanism of action. Cerapedics is now actively involved in introducing the i-FACTOR Bone Graft technology platform into the rapidly expanding market for osteobiologic products.

Michael Collura, President & CEO, In Home Personal Services, Inc, A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Michael Collura and In Home Personal Services, Inc
Entrepreneur and leader with strong business development and marketing skills. I enjoy what I do not because of the success, but because that success is enjoyed by so many others I am privileged to work with every day. I always felt that if I was the smartest one in the room, I failed. So, I have surrounded myself with talented individuals that compliment my own strengths and make up in areas where I myself fall short. This is the secret to our continued growth and success…the Team. While I, the least important person in the room, sit back and take pride in their achievements. My job is simple…remove obstacles from their path and give them whatever they need to grow!
At In Home Personal Services not only are we providing care for seniors, veterans, and those with disabilities but we are also making personal connections, building relationships, and giving our clients the chance to maintain their independence.
As a caregiver with IHPS you will receive comprehensive, hands-on training that will equip you to anticipate the needs of each individual. Our training process goes above and beyond the state regulated requirements, and offers on-going and refresher education.
At IHPS we work together to provide the best care. This doesn’t just mean helping with physical needs; equally as important are the relationships that we build with our clients and their families, offering companionship that is priceless.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US
We work with our clients and their families to allow them to remain living independently and safely in their own homes.
We have built a reputation for helping our clients maintain a high quality of life and we never waiver from our mission.
In Home Personal Services has stood alone when it comes to creating individualized care plans based on our client’s specific needs. We work primarily within independent living communities, allowing our clients to remain living independently and safely within their home longer. Let us match the perfect caregiver with your loved one’s around-the-clock in-home care or individualized support care needs. This might include full-time in-home senior care or specific support such as bathing, companionship, meal preparation, or other helpful in-home care services.
OUR STORY
In Home Personal Services began in January 2004, founded by Michael A. Collura working with his own Mother to provide quality care to seniors who wished to remain in the comfort of their own home.
We understood early on the challenges facing many seniors and their families when it came to aging and the desire to maintain a safe and independent lifestyle in the comfort of one’s familiar surroundings.
In Home Personal Service was formed with the belief that home care should be tailored to meet the individual needs of every client. It has remained our mission, to ensure the client and their family receive the highest level of quality care.
Many challenges were faced along the way including new laws and regulations for standards of quality care introduced by State authorities in 2008. Michael and the IHPS team were already operating well above these new standards, proving their mission was a success as they had not only met the standards of quality care issued by the regulatory authorities, they had exceeded them.
Today Michael continues his mission and In Home Personal Services has grown not just in its native State of Illinois, but throughout the United States.

Coeo Space Hands

Joined by a couple software developers, a few rising stars and the desire to disrupt the traditional commercial real estate industry, this team is a powerhouse of creativity and industry knowledge.

Brokers or Landlords, who have move-in ready or “plug and play” spec suites, raw & unfinished space, second generation space, option space, new developments for lease or properties for sale.

Rabbi Levi Shemtov and Bassie Shemtov,Co-Founders, The Friendship Circle DotCom Magazine, Interview.
About Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Bassie Shemtov and The Friendship Circle:
Our Mission:
The Friendship Circle exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs by celebrating their individuality, as well as bringing energy, support, and peace of mind to their families.
To do this, we focus on developing the values of altruism, compassion, and acceptance in our teen volunteers as we heighten community awareness and sensitivity and encourage a sense of responsibility and involvement.
How We See It:
Everyone in this world has a unique purpose. When we focus on abilities instead of disabilities, those with special needs can be part of the strongest friendships and influence people in positive ways that others can’t. Unwavering acceptance, positive thinking, honesty, and commitment are just a few of the important lessons these individuals teach by example.
What We Do:
Friendship Circle chapters in local communities create meaningful relationships and friendships between teen volunteers and children with special needs, increasing confidence, igniting dreams, and redefining worldviews for both parties.
Friendship Circle International has more than 80 regional chapters around the world and counting.
Our Programs:
Friends@Home
Every week, pairs of trained teenage volunteers visit children with special needs at home. These one- or two-hour visits go a long way to curing loneliness through board games, stories, music, and play.
Camp:
The Friendship winter and summer camps for children with special needs offer a brief respite to parents and siblings, while providing campers with the time of their lives. Campers have a blast and gain new skills through songs, stories, crafts, and other activities.
Holiday Programs:
Holidays are a time for family. The Friendship Circle’s innovative activities enable the whole family to participate, each at his or her own level. This educational and entertaining approach helps families to connect with their Jewish heritage and the Jewish community at large.
Children’s Torah Circle:
This program helps to teach children everything from gross motor and cognitive techniques to communication and language skills. Music, stories, arts and crafts, and socializing provide children with special needs varied ways to learn about their beautiful Jewish heritage.
Sports Night:
Sports are a great way to build friendships, confidence, and physical health. Volunteers help kids to shoot hoops, kick goals, throw and catch under the watchful eyes of a professional instructor.
Sibling Support Programs:
Siblings of children with special needs often need support for their emotions. Sibling support programs provide opportunities for brothers and sisters of children with special needs learn and share with their peers. Thanks to creative discussions and fun activities, siblings take home skills to face challenges in their own lives.
Life Skills:
For a child with special needs, the “outside world” can seem overwhelmingly strange. Professionals along with teen volunteers help these children to become comfortable in, and able to take advantage of, public places. This helps them to become as self-sufficient as possible.
Walk4Friendship:
Volunteers, families, and friends of Friendship Circle show their solidarity and support through a sponsored walkathon. All funds support Friendship Circle programs.
Ian Eyberg, Founder & CEO, NanoVMs A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Ian Eyberg and NanoVMs:
NanoVMs is the only production ready, fully managed unikernel platform in the industry today.
NanoVMs was the first company to produce a Go unikernel, a .Net unikernel and the first company to offer a fully integrated unikernel platform.
NanoVMS is the maintainer of the Nanos unikernel and the OPS unikernel orchestrator.
Nanos can run any linux binary as a unikernel.
NanoVMs offers managed services for both public and private cloud environments including AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean and Vultr and it's platform targets KVM, Xen, bare metal, and ESX.
In addition to the industry's leading Unikernel Platform, NanoVMs offers training, service integration, custom development and other unikernel services.
A unikernel is simply an application that has been boiled down to a small, secure, light-weight virtual machine. The resulting virtual machine image does not contain an operating system like Linux or Windows. There are no users and no shell to login. Since it is one application it prevents other applications from running by design.
Unikernels are widely considered to be the next generation of cloud infrastructure for their speed and security.
Chris Daigle, Owner, Daygull Strategic A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview.
About Chris Daigle and Daygull Strategic:
Hi, I’m Chris … but most people call me "Doctor Daigle".
And I was always involved in business, in one way or another.
If you knew me in fifth grade, you probably bought a candy bar from my outlaw locker stash, and I probably made a handsome profit off of ya ;)
If you knew me in 1991, we were probably marching double time in bootcamp at Ft. Leonard Wood, in the sticky Missouri summer. The military taught me many things, but the most valuable lesson was how far hard core discipline could take me.
If you knew me in 1999 when I was working with Accenture (a Fortune 500 Global company), I was probably helping your company add a few hundred million to the bottom line.
If you knew me in 2002, we were probably celebrating Mardi Gras and I was telling you all about my very first website I had just launched, EasyHUD.com, and how there was this whole world of “internet marketing”. That website ended up being a pioneer SaaS site that helped thousands of foreclosure investors do hundreds of millions in real estate short sales.
If you knew me in 2008, you saw me riding a rocketship, scaling up a direct mail marketing business and mailing millions of pieces of direct response physical mail. And you saw me get my ass kicked from scaling too fast. Boy were there some lessons learned and experience gained. Want to know how direct mail can help you grow like mad? Let’s talk.
If you knew me in 2010, I was helping Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher grow Idea Incubator (the genesis of DigitalMarketer.com), taking their affiliate sales from 30% of their revenue to 70% of their revenue in less than 9 months. Want to know how to build an affiliate program like that? Let’s talk.
If you knew me in 2012, you and I were doing big things with Agora’s top division, Stansberry & Associates, where I was the Director of Business Development. The first year I was there, we did $150m+ in revenue - the most any division of Agora had ever done up to that point. Want a business strategy that gets results like that? Let’s talk.
If you knew me in 2014, you were probably a client of my telephone sales floor, Federated Phone Systems, and my team and I were crushing sales for you. Want to know how phones can add $$$ to your customer LTV? Let’s talk.
If you knew me in 2017, Agora Financial had just brought me on to help them map out and execute a plan that helped them break $300m in revenue in 2018, the MOST any division of Agora had ever done (see a trend here?). Want a strategy for your business that will help you grow like you’ve always dreamed? Let’s talk.
Daygull Strategic is a strategic services company offering services backed on decades of experience and skill. We help you unlock your businesses truest potential and develop a new game plan for your business, side by side, with you.

Dr. Carol Parker Walsh, JD, PhD, CEO of Carol Parker Walsh Consulting A DotCom Magazine Interview.
About Dr. Carol Parker Walsh and Carol Parker Walsh Consulting:
Dr. Carol Parker Walsh is a powerful advocate for women unapologetically living life on their terms and doing the work they were meant to do in the world. When she was eight, her mother asked her, "Why is it when everyone goes left, you go right?" She replied, "Why do I have to go where everyone else does?" She now empowers woman to walk their path boldly.
A two-time best-selling author, international speaker, and award-winning consultant, Carol's been the "go-to" coach for Grammy Award Winners, Paralympic Gold Medalists, Fortune 500 executives, and 6-7 figure successful, driven professionals and entrepreneurs.
Before launching Carol Parker Walsh Consulting, Carol ran a successful image consulting practice, Evolve Image Consulting, empowering women to build a strong, authentic personal brand through a unique styling, powerful presence, and strong digital footprint.
Today, Carol uses her image consulting, informed by over 25 years of executive experience in corporate, healthcare, and academic settings, to create compelling and successful brand narratives to support women at every stage of their lives and professional careers.
Often proudly described as a cross between Michelle Obama and Beyonce' for her insight, wisdom, intelligence, compassion, and rebel approach, Carol helps her clients stop hiding in the shadows of their brilliance and step into the power of who they are; their vision, purpose, and their life's work.
There's no single road map to the income, lifestyle, and success you deserve. Carol's the mentor that can help you find your path to get there.
Every adventure starts by taking just one step out of the box.
Gumption is from one of my favorite movies "Working Girl." A movie that teaches women it takes unapologetic belief in yourself, risk-taking, coloring outside of the lines, and decisive action to have the career and life you want.
Maybe you’ve been carefully coloring inside the lines throughout your career and you’re still bored, burned out, frustrated, and unfulfilled. But the thought of taking control, making a change, or going against the grain feels risky.
After a 27+ year successful career in law, corporate, and academia, I realized that I had never been the author of my career, but instead I followed the rulebook I was given. At that point, I knew I had to choose between following the status quo and creating a career and life that was right for me. I chose 𝗠𝗘!
It took gumption (and a mindset shift) to leave my career and start a new one helping women struggling with the same choice.
I've come out on the other side of that decision with greater confidence, happier, and fulfilled. Now as a certified career and personal branding strategist, mindset, and high-performance coach, along with all of my education and experience, I’m ready to show you how to do it too.
“Gumption,” along with a proven system and community of support. That’s all it really takes.
"Carol is the only mentor and coach I've had that can get me from where I am to where I want to be. If you're looking for a coach... a real coach... who can actually get you where you want to be, then you have to work with Carol. It's that simple." ~Twila Kaye
“I was trapped in the ‘I-have-to-work-harder-than-anyone-else’ model which was causing me to undervalue myself, and feel stuck and unfulfilled. Once I was able to reconnect to my passion, my purpose, AND myself, I no longer ask for a seat at the table. I’ve created my own!” ~Dr. Anabelle B.
Christine McKay, CEO & Business Negotiation Strategist, Venn Negotiation, DotCom Magazine.
About Christine McKay and Venn Negotiation:
Seasoned executive and negotiator. International business professional. 53 countries. Negotiated with nearly half of the Fortune 500 and hundreds of small and mid-sized business. Helped thousands elevate their negotiation skills. International speaker, published author, and podcast host.
I am passionate about finding common ground and resolving complex issues on behalf of my clients. I particularly love turning the non-negotiable into negotiable. I've negotiated for companies of all sizes and in many industries. I have worked extensively in merger, acquisition, and divestiture environments. I focus on my clients’ financial and operational success by accelerating the negotiation process, positively impacting profitability, and educating others. Most importantly, I deliver results.
When most people think of the word 'negotiation,' it evokes thoughts of Sun Tzu's "Art of War," chess, or even bullies in the boardroom. They use zero-sum thinking and operate from a place of scarcity, where if one party gets more, the other automatically gets less. There are clearly defined winners and losers even when they think they may be trying for a win-win scenario. At Venn Negotiation, we find that way of thinking outdated.
Venn Negotiation is an educational and consultative negotiation firm that aims to change the nature of negotiation. Offering individual and group negotiation training and negotiation services, Venn Negotiation helps individuals and businesses get more of what they want and provides them with the tools and techniques to negotiate for it. In our VennMasters™ and VennMasters Corporate™ Programs, you will learn the processes to level the playing field in any relationship, whether personal or professional. With our VennPro Services™ , we will either take the reins in your negotiation or provide consultative expertise to get you more of what you want.
Business Negotiation Strategist, Christine McKay, author of “Why Not Ask? A Conversation About Getting More,” has worked on behalf of numerous small and mid-sized companies and negotiated with many of the Fortune 500.
Christine launched Venn Negotiation to find common ground, level the playing field, and resolve complex issues for her clients. With over 25 years of experience, both international and domestic, Christine improves profitability and operational effectiveness through strategic contract integration.

Eve Goldberg, Founder, BigVision A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Eve Goldberg and BigVision:
Eve founded BIGVISION in January 2015, a year after her 23-year-old son, Isaac, died of an accidental drug overdose. She was motivated to do something to help young adults in recovery in New York City learn to live fun, meaningful, sober lives. Eve is part of William Goldberg Diamond, a wonderful family business operating in New York for over 50 years. She has now committed to making BIGVISION a reality by creating entertaining, engaging events and building a community where the BIGVISION “family” can enjoy themselves in a cool, hip, substance-free environment.
BIGVISION Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, was established in 2014 by Eve Goldberg in memory of her son, Isaac, who died of an accidental drug overdose.
As Isaac struggled to stay sober after rehab, Eve recognized that there was a void in the recovery process; the need for young adults to learn to enjoy life and find meaning and purpose in a safe, sober environment.
BIGVISION is an accepting community of young adults in recovery who connect with each other and build their self-esteem. BIGVISION members enjoy fun activities, develop life skills and draw strength from the support of their peers, who, like them, strive to live substance-free lives.
The really “BIG VISION” is to build BIGVISION Community Centers worldwide to help others, like Isaac, discover passion and enjoyment in a sober life.

About Andrea Nerep, Chelsea Rose Williams and Petzbe:

The whole website development process from conceptualization to launch to promotion has become too complex for one person to master. Successful websites are born from a team of specialists who are masters of complex disciplines working together to produce highly effective and compelling websites. At Infront, we believe in the capabilities of the individual and in the output of the team. We hire those with the best individual skills and work them into our unique, team-oriented development process. Each team member has defined responsibilities upon which the rest of the team relies. The result is a product that reflects the efforts of highly-skilled professionals who take great pride in their webwork.
Understanding it's nearly impossible to be a perfect Web Company to everyone, we strive for perfection for your business! We'll identify your website needs, and be transparent about our ability to fill them.
There are many Digital marketing and Web Development Companies to choose from and trusting the right partner is critical. Your choice will largely be determined but what your short term and long term web needs are. In the nature of transparency and to expedite the process of your selection we have outlined the many of those questions and answers below.
Things to consider when choosing a Website Company:
Do they have website development and design services in house?
Can they assist you in planning the website?
Have you looked at their portfolio and case studies?
Do they have programmers that work in a variety of coding languages?
Have you checked their reviews and or references?
Are they a full service website company?
Can they handle ongoing support and maintenance?
What does "Award Winning" actually mean?
Do they have the staff to accommodate your needs?
Are their rates in line with your budget?
We do realize that some of these questions will depend on circumstances and that there may be additional questions that you would want to ask depending on the circumstances, but we tried to cover the common ones. If you have additional questions please contact us and speak to one of our business development professionals.
Years ago at a previous company our founders spent just as much time wrestling with Kubernetes than they did developing the software product they were selling. At that time first-generation and do-it-yourself (DIY) Kubernetes solutions entered the market in an attempt to help, but they just didn’t solve core issues related to scalability, security, interoperability and ease of use. They felt there had to be a better way and so they decided to build one by starting Rafay Systems.
All of us at Rafay believe that modern applications can power a better future and they deserve a mature, battle-tested and easy way of managing them. Without that, the promises and value of these cutting-edge applications built on cloud, IoT and 5G technologies are at risk.
With a combination of enterprise-grade products and expert services, we make our customers’ Kubernetes infrastructure enterprise-ready. Because over the past many years Kubernetes has grown up and we believe that Kubernetes management should too.

Shalini Sahay_ Founder _ CEO_ Service Five LLC A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Shalini Sahay and Service Five LLC:
I help organizations grow their teams with 24/7 premium support across 5 key areas of business. We’re ready to help you get more done sooner - minus the risks and costs associated with hiring.
Your staff are maxed out. But hiring new in-house talent is expensive and risky. You need someone with specialized skills, industry knowledge, accuracy, discretion, and speed. It could be months before you find the right person - and when they leave, you’re back at square one.
It’s time to think beyond the 9-5 in-house hire.
In 2018, I founded Service Five. We help companies solve their staffing issues quickly, flexibly, and cost-effectively with minimal risk. Our difference is that we offer premium staff (100% U.S. based), 24/7 service, virtual and in-person staffing, and deep industry expertise.
ABOUT ME:
I have 25+ years C-suite level experience across various industries. But my technical foundations came from age 10, when I used to watch my dad fix computers and build them from scratch.
Immediately after school, I spent 11 years in Medical Billing, moving up and handling high demand, urgent work.
In 2014, I began working with the executive team at JR286. While going above and beyond my role to help them run the company (sometimes 18-20 hours per day), I came up with the concept for Service Five.
I realised that if you had a team supporting you while you were sleeping, imagine what you could do! You’d get back work-life balance, you’d have less risk, and you’d avoid burnout. And with Service Five, that’s what I’m delivering for my clients.
I’m excited to grow Service Five into the premier choice for growing organizations that need highly skilled, flexible support.

Rick Burnett has devoted his career to solving the pain points and excessive costs that have crippled the supply chain industry for decades, particularly in the freight trucking sector. As a veteran of both trucking logistics and software development, Rick has a clear view of both the massive inefficiencies baked into freight hauling as well as the massive benefits mobile technology can bring to trucking. As early as the mid 2000s, Rick knew GPS technology could lead to a direct model where manufacturers could connect to directly to drivers, cutting out expensive intermediaries such as freight brokers and third party logistics companies (3PLs), which charge up to a 50% commission for often opaque and inefficient services.
Rick set out to develop such a system, but needed technology to catch up in the form of smart phones that could run such an advanced application. Once smart phones became ubiquitous, Rick filed a patent for a Shipper-to-Carrier Direct Optimization Platform, and in March, 2018, was granted U.S. Patent No. 9,928,475.
Partnering with American Association of Owner Operator (AAOO) with 100,000+ drivers the Professional Trucker app provides real-time visibility into the LaneAxis portal which allows shippers the ability to connect directly to drivers, carriers add drivers and push tracking link to provide driver visibility and network real-time data.
Rick is passionate about transforming the freight industry, and believes a shipper-to-carrier direct model is the way of the future in the Global Supply Chain.

Suzie Yorke, Founder & CEO, Love Good Fats A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Suzie Yorke and Love Good Fats:
Launched a rocket ship food start-up brand Love Good Fats that just exceeded $100mil in Revenue is just a bit over 3 years!
A proud mom, partner, former Marketing CPG Executive and now, first time entrepreneur (at age 50!) on a fierce Mission to spread the word that fat is back and sugar it out.
11x Ironman athlete, cyclist, marathon runner fueled back then on low fat nutrition... that did not work!
Award winner:
-
Winner of the 2020 RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award
-
Winner of the 2019 Top 100 Most Powerful Women Award
I’ve always loved fats, but for years I avoided them because we all heard the “low fat” message for 40 years. So I neglected good nutrition, especially through stressful time. I was juggling work, my mom-of-two-cool-kids job and triathlons/races, and that did not jive well with low fat nutrition - my body and my health suffered.
So I’ve spent the last three years researching nutrition and uncovering misinformation about sugar and fats. this led me to create a delicious line of snacks so that North Americans can eat and enjoy good fats on the go! did I mention they are delicious?
We now have 10 ridiculously delicious bars. Loaded with good fats, low in sugar (1-2 gr only) and ridiculously delicious. Keto friendly (LCHF - Low Carbs High Fats) the bars are healthier nutrition: more energy, feel fuller longer and feel satisfied.
My brand Mission is to play a key role in getting North Americans eating more healthy fats, less sugar, feeling great about it and living healthier lives. Finally, fat is back!
My brand will play a key role in getting North Americans eating more healthy fats, less sugar, feeling great about it and living healthier lives.
Love Good Fats was born out of one woman’s pursuit to empower others to embrace a totally new way of eating.
Suzie Yorke, our founder, spent years cutting fat out of her diet only to find that she felt worse than before! After a little research, she learned that sugar and carbs might actually be the culprit. She immediately shifted to a high-fat, low-carb diet, and never felt better.
The only problem was the serious lack of satisfying snacks. She wondered, was it possible to create convenient foods that satisfied her taste buds and embraced this new way of eating?
You bet! Suzie got to work crafting her undeniably delicious, truffle-like bars with good fats, plenty of protein, and only 1-2g of sugar. With that, Love Good Fats began. In the years since, we’ve expanded to Chewy Nutty bars and thick & creamy shakes that deliver the perfect combination of nutrients and indulgence.
You heard it here first: Fat is back. Sugar is out!
Most Jews know that Judaism can be a little intimidating, which for some people is a good enough reason to run for the door. Or maybe you gave Judaism a try, but you didn’t get enough out if it to keep you coming back. The fact is that Judaism sometimes gets a bad rap and that’s led to too many people missing out on the good stuff. JewBelong is out to change all that by helping you find the joy, meaning, relevance and connection that Judaism has to offer. Our easy explanations and meaningful rituals are just the beginning. We exist for Jewish people, for people who aren’t Jewish but are part of a Jewish community, for anyone who has felt like a Jewish outsider (which TBH is probably most of us), and especially for Disengaged Jews (DJs for short). That’s literally why our name/tagline is JewBelong: for when you feel you don’t!

Freedom Mentor, led by real estate mentor Phil Pustejovsky, is the greatest real estate investing mentoring program ever created. Made famous by a bold and daring profit arrangement, Phil and the Freedom Mentor team put their money where their mouth is by mentoring and coaching real estate investors and making their money by sharing in the profits of the deals with their students 50/50. This is extremely unique in the world of real estate investing education. It creates a special relationship where both the real estate mentor and the mentee both have "skin in the game" and aligned interests. When the student succeeds, the teacher succeeds as well. And over the past 15 years, this approach has produced the most extraordinary results in this industry's history.
Starting from very humble beginnings, even going homeless and living out of his truck for a short time, Phil went on to become an extremely successful real estate investor with the help of a mentor. Through the tutelage of his real estate coach, Phil was eventually able to live the life of freedom he always wanted, moving to a waterfront mansion in Florida. But rather than rest on all his personal success, Phil wanted to do more deals across the country and to help others achieve what he had accomplished. So he began mentoring and coaching other investors and sharing in the profits with them 50/50, much like his mentor did for him. The company name "Freedom Mentor" embodies his secret to success as well as his goal for each person he mentors. His secret to success is to have the right mentor and his goal for each person him and his team coaches is to live a life of freedom.
At the urging of many fans, Phil wrote his first book, "How to be a Real Estate Investor" which became a #1 best seller on Amazon and is regarded as one of the best real estate books in print. Phil will email you a free copy of his book here at the top of this page or you can go to Amazon and buy a hard copy or the Audible audio version. It is a must read for anyone who aspires to be, or is already, a real estate investor.
Then, he wrote a second book, "Real Estate Investing Gone Bad" to further educate more experienced investors on the many pitfalls and dangers of real estate. Too often, authors and gurus paint such a rosy picture of real estate investing and they fail to share the other side of the story. Real Estate Investing Gone Bad teaches you want NOT to do and is a must read for anyone serious about investing in real property.
And that commitment to sharing the truth, or what Phil refers to as "signal", is perhaps why the Phil Pustejovsky Freedom Mentor YouTube Channel is the most popular real estate investing channel in the world, with more than 24,000,000 views. His videos cut through all the noise so prevalent online and provides pure wisdom that educates, empowers and inspires real estate investors around the globe. And not just real estate, it was also recently awarded one of the top Personal Finance channels as well.
In the year 2000, before UX (User Experience Design) was a thing, Peter Kawecki started sketching, designing and coding custom websites from scratch out of a small apartment in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. A few years later in 2006, at the dawn of the social media age, Bapple opened its doors as a UX, Branding and Web Design agency. Now in Surry Hills, we offer a full suite of digital & UX Agency Services.

Where we excel…
We excel in several areas, we don’t claim to do everything but when it comes to UX research, websites, their content and marketing them, we really shine. Coupled with enterprise-level project management we have tackled some of the most challenging online projects.
Our origins, the detailed version.
Founder Peter Kawecki started his business journey in 2000, fresh out of a creative design and technology degree at UNSW COFA. With a passion for helping businesses thrive online, he immediately found a handful of his own clients. Later working with Sydney’s top agencies; he honed many valuable strategic, creative and technical skills, from coding and animation to UX and UI design.
In 2006 Bapple was officially registered out of a Sydney beachside apartment; established against a backdrop of sun, sand and surf, a growing web design and branding agency was born. Kawecki wanted to build a business with a reputation for innovative, engaging and human-centric creative communications and digital products; less about digital trends, more about the people that use them.

In 2014, Robbie Cabral was down on his luck. “I was working my normal job and, sadly, I got laid off,” he tells Andy Jacob, CEO, of Dotcom Magazine. Cabral continued, “The same day I got laid off, my daughter was born.”
Then, a simple idea turned his situation around: While at the gym, he wondered “how come there is not just a lock that you can open with a fingerprint, but also with a traditional key,” he recalls. It would be a convenient and safe upgrade from commonplace, analog locks, he thought. That idea led him to invent BenjiLock, a patented product that does just that. He took his invention, which won accolades at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, all the way to ABC’s “Shark Tank,” where he landed a $200,000 investment from Kevin O’Leary in exchange for 15 percent equity in the company.
Applauded as “the essence of the American Dream” by Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, Robbie Cabral is no stranger to the Edison Awards, taking home the award for the category of ‘Consumer Sensors and Biometrics’ in 2018. His invention, BenjiLock, is widely renowned as one of the most impactful modern-day innovations for personal security, using groundbreaking fingerprint technology. Robbie’s innovations took the prestigious 2021 TWICE Picks CES Award for its brand new BenjiLock Fingerprint Bike Lock, Gear Brain’s Best Tech of CES 2021 for its Fingerprint Sport Lock, and Digital Trends chose BenjiLock as one of the Editor’s Pick Best Smart Locks and Top Tech CES 2021 awards for its Fingerprint Door Lock
About BenjiLock:
Based in Los Angeles, California, and founded in 2014 by inventor and entrepreneur Robbie Cabral, BenjiLock is redefining the personal security experience using hybrid technology with the consumer in mind. After its recent Shark Tank success, Robbie Cabral landed Kevin O’Leary as an investor with a 15% equity stake in the company. Next, he secured a licensing partnership with Hampton Products International, the leader in security and hardware innovations and makers of BRINKS locks, giving the startup over 30 years of manufacturing and production experience. Today, BenjiLock’s fingerprint technology is expanding into a portfolio of products—an upcoming line of bike locks, next-generation of padlocks, drawer closet, and cabinet locks, and a brand-new line of smart home door locks.

Mark Dancer, CEO, Network for Business Innovation A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview
About Mark Dancer and Network for Business Innovation:
The coming age of business innovation is going to be a wild and exciting ride, and I founded the Network for Business Innovation to help lead the charge. My work researching and writing Innovate to Dominate: The 12th Edition of the Facing the Forces of Change® Series is a road map for every business innovator.
The most potent business innovations will harness technology and human capabilities, and align with social, economic, and global trends. By helping customers redefine how they do their work, how they learn as an organization, and as people, and how they source solutions, business innovators will set new standards for success.
B2B companies can help lead the charge. I have a simple definition for B2B innovation - it's about businesses that support businesses working to help them survive and thrive in the modern world. By helping business customers find their way, B2B players can identify innovations for their own company.
The future of business is up for grabs, and I encourage you to reach out with your ideas and priorities.
The Network for Business Innovation is on a mission to drive awareness, advocacy, and excellence around the discipline and practice of business innovation. Disruption, disintermediation, digital transformation, and social trends are impacting customer experiences, go-to-market possibilities, and business model design. However, there are very few precedents for business innovators to follow. We are working with market leaders, industry associations, universities, and social organizations to gather experiences, thought leadership, ideas, and solutions. Our blog and podcasts help us connect game-changing ideas with practical advice and innovation best practices. We draw on thirty years of channel design experience across a vast range of industries in developed and emerging markets to develop actionable plans. We lead with ideas, add knowledge, and push for progress.

Mike S. Shapiro is an entrepreneur, investor, corporate coach, speaker ForbesBook author, and Forbes Podcast host whose risk-inclined and results-oriented methods help individuals and organizations leverage insights for stellar results, including building his multi-billion-dollar business. He is also a co-founder and managing director with Plunk, a Seattle-based fintech/proptech startup.
Mike’s system is based on skills he developed as a market maker and trader with the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. There, he learned the value of paying attention to what’s in front of us – “reading the tape” – and how to use information to predict behaviors, leverage opportunities and achieve game-changing results and lifelong satisfaction.
It’s the same method he used when he purchased a nearly bankrupt real estate firm in coastal Orange County, California during the 2008 “Great Recession” and that he sold 10 years later to create the world’s second-largest Sotheby’s International Realty brokerage, with 1,200 agents and annual sales exceeding $7 billion. He’s also used this system to coach 1,000+ real estate agents to greater success, including many who now rank among the “Top 20” agents in the U.S.
Mike – who describes himself as “cold and calculating as a trader and as empathetic as a golden retriever, which is why I have a 50% approval rating” – approaches life and work with a commitment to joy: the joy he finds in helping others and the joy they experience when they realize that success is achievable.
He’s a frequent speaker at conferences and universities, a featured guest on television news shows and podcasts, and a sought-after expert on real estate and investing for local and national business publications. His perspectives on real estate and equity markets are available via his weekly blog (mikesshapiro.com) and soon, his podcast will launch on ForbesRadio.

As passionate homeowners and remodelers, Brian Lent and David Bluhm recognized the gap between the information that was available... versus what was needed by consumers. They then sought to create a way to help homeowners explore the possibilities of creating a dream home, navigate through remodeling projects, and analyze cost vs. value—real life, real-time ROI—by giving them access to better and smarter data.

Our mission is to make financial competence a reality for everyone and to promote entrepreneurship to inspire individual achievement. We believe these goals are complementary and essential to the dream of financial freedom for all.
But how to begin to solve such a challenging problem?
Over the years, the Foundation’s founders, Cary and Will, had seen the power of entertainment to move hearts and minds, and to capture a busy, distracted audience who might otherwise never pay attention. So when they set out to attack the problem, they decided to do it in a way that sparks the imagination and connects with the individual. Through the power of entertainment and storytelling.

John Ashton - Show Host
That's me. I'm a terrific radio personality (in my own humble yet never-the-less expert opinion) and a lousy golfer. And I wonder how my life would have turned out if those were reversed. But, I learn to live with it. I've entertained morning radio audiences from Bangor, Maine to Atlanta, Georgia and many cities in between. I have embarrassed myself on golf courses in all those cities too. And for reasons I am loathe to speak out loud, I never, ever, took a golf lesson. And I'd tell people that like it is something to be proud of. I love to share my frustrations and challenges, wins and losses with you because I know you have done the exact same things I've done, made the same mistakes, had the same disappointments on the course. So we can relate to each other.
What if you could find a Golf Radio Show that was not hosted by some washed up former Pro golfer? What if you could find a Golf Talk Show that isn't condescending (that means they talk down to you) because your average drive is not 300+ yards and your go-to club for a 160 yard fairway shot is your 6 iron, not a pitching wedge? What you are looking for is a Golf Talk Radio Show that talks to us, the average golfer; the folks who have never broken 80 in our lives; the ones who hope to live to 102 so they can "shoot their age"; the folks that realize they are mere mortals playing a game obviously designed by, and for, gods.
We are that show! Those Weekend Golf Guys.
You will never hear us discussing Tiger's chances of regaining his #1 position or whether Jordan Spieth screwed up his game by getting married. You know why? WE DON'T CARE! We don't care about the PGA Tour, WEB.com Tour, or any of the Pro Tours. We do care about you.

We are passionate practitioners of Lean who are committed to our client’s success. Using lean principles and philosophies, we both challenge and guide clients on their continuous improvement journeys as they deploy Lean to find innovative ways to solve business challenges through their people not consultants.
Lean Your Way's view is that successful lean transformations require a comprehensive implementation approach in weeks not years. While they will certainly include items such as going to Gemba (viewing your process) first to build a current state value stream maps, building continuous improvement plans, and a relentless pursuit of waste elimination, they will also involve efforts such as developing a company-wide understanding of what waste is and how to see it through training, creating a process to sustain Lean improvements, and assisting all levels of management navigate the unexpected challenges associated with an empowered workforce through change management up front. A key component of any Lean Ballistics implementation plan is that it includes tangible financial savings tied to all employees performance plans and reviews. While lean transformation requires much more than a focus on financial performance, it is our view that focusing on the numbers will create a healthy sense of urgency across the organization, as well as energize all levels once super kaizen efforts begin showing results. In our view this should take a few short weeks, and not months or more.
Getting organizations moving forward without resisntance is balancing act between meeting the requirements of the business and engaging employees so they understand they are part of the team for success.

Aesthetic Record began out of necessity in 2014 when our Founder & CEO could not find an aesthetics-focused EMR that was affordable, scalable, and effective as his new practice began to grow. Fast forward to 2017, and what started out as a custom platform became commercially available to other aesthetic practitioners. Over the last several years, our team has invested hundreds of thousands of hours in development to build an end-to-end system that can manage the complex daily operations of an Aesthetic clinic. Those few key features have grown into a robust solution that powers practices of all kinds from single locations to large franchises and facilitates patient interactions both in-person and virtually.
One of our guiding principles at Aesthetic Record is that no matter the size, HIPAA-compliant documentation, clinical photography and inventory management should be available to everyone. As our feature list has continued to evolve, we’ve remained committed to keeping our system affordable by providing tremendous value at a price point every clinic can afford. We personally onboard each of our customers so we can ensure they have the tools they need to maximize each component of Aesthetic Record. We listen very closely to the needs of the marketplace and maintain a steady stream of innovation to meet the changing demands of our industry. Our customers are their patients are at the heart of everything we do, and we are greatful that so many clinics around the world trust Aesthetic Record to power their operations everyday.
As a CEO, your focus is mostly on product-market fit, sales and operations (or all of the above). Odds are, you yourself never worked in HR and hardly thought about it, maybe even ignored it. At least until you started growing to 15, 30, 50 employees and past $5M ARR and needed to bring on more talent, then to keep it and develop it.
Then things got complicated…
For many fast-growth companies, HR has become a four-letter word, a complex and expensive maze of systems, compliance, laws and regulations, plus an expensive arms race of benefits and perks.
It really needn’t be. That’s why we created HR, Talent & Systems.
When companies grow past 50 employees, they generally need a more thoughtful, comprehensive approach to hiring, benefits and payroll, talent development and systems. It’s inevitable, if the CEO wants to maintain a core team and grow quickly and scale. Eventually, they need to hire their first HR executive to create and implement strategy, not just systems.
We build the bridge to that first CHRO / CPO hire and sometimes fill that role ourselves as the startup raises a B round and scales quickly.
Founders often think they can get by on a “more bodies in seats” approach, until people feel alienated and un-cared for and leave for greener pastures.
Having seen this sad inflection point over and over as an Interim Chief HR / Chief People Officer and previously, as an employee in Product and Finance/Operations, it pains me to see great companies under-utilize, under-develop and lose talent, the founders unable to get out of their own way.
For the last 7 years, we have helped companies of all sizes, industries and growth stages to stand up an HR department from scratch, coach executives to become leaders and employees to thrive in their roles, as well as design and implement the systems (ATS, HRIS, Benefits, Payroll, Project Management, etc.) they need to sustain and increase growth.
Partnering with top vendors in each category, we have saved our clients multiple $100Ks on benefits, talent acquisition and retention costs and employer branding, helping our clients win Inc. 5000, Best Company To Work For and individual industry awards.

Who is this SpreadsheetScheduler.com company I keep hearing about?
SpreadsheetScheduler.com SS Schedules in Excel WFM If your call center experience has been anything like ours, I am betting that time and time again you have probably been stuck having to decide between blowing your budget on a fancy, yet surprisingly expensive WFM system, or limping along by manually trying to optimize schedules on a bunch of spreadsheets created for you by some guy named Todd in Accounting.
These home grown spreadsheets typically lack any sort of automation and thus take a lot of manual work and are hard to truly maximize staffing efficiencies. And yet even large call centers like eBay and the United States Postal Services that have gigantic budgets and spend millions of dollars a month on their call center staffing, still have benefited from spreadsheets to help them forecast.
With forecasting being a mix between an art and a science, many companies need these advanced forecasting spreadsheets to take their forecasting to the next level. WFM systems can apply the scientific side of the numbers, but need human insight into the data and knowledge of the business and trends.
With so many call centers still needing to rely on spreadsheets, we at SpreadsheetScheduler.com created a low cost model that would allow us to provide forecasting and scheduling programs based in Excel Spreadsheets at very low costs to allow small call centers to gain big call center efficiencies, as well as create forecasting models for call centers of all sizes to be able to apply both the art and the science to their forecasts.
We even provide some of our WFM products for free. We do this to help get the word out about how awesome our products are, and get a free sample of what we are all about. So feel free to download and enjoy any of these products to help satisfy your WFM needs. You can also check out some of our WFM articles we have written.

Chris Dreyer, President & Founder, Rankings.io, A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview.
Most personal injury attorneys struggle to rank at the top of the search results. That’s why Rankings.io is here: Chris helps elite personal injury law firms generate motor vehicle and serious injury cases through Google’s organic search results.
Chris understands how frustrating it is to find a reputable search engine optimization partner, which is why he is so proud to say he’s helped dozens of personal injury law firms just like yours generate millions of dollars with SEO.
“The retainer I pay – without any hesitation – is the best ROI of any marketing dollar I spend. It’s the most cost effective way to get good, qualified cases.”
~ Stewart J. Guss, Attorney at Law
Unlike SEO agencies that hope to impress you with tiny “wins” on low-volume keywords, Rankings.io clients own top-ranked spots for keywords
Because Chris focuses on delivering big wins that bring in the most serious injury cases with the largest damages, he only accept firms with extremely aggressive growth targets. He’s fanatical about this focus for a couple of reasons:
First, personal injury law is THE most competitive industry, bar none. It’s a bare-knuckle brawl on all fronts; even SEO agencies that have had success with general law practices typically don’t have the specialized know-how to win in PI. Using your typical one-stop-shop marketing agency that does SEO for a variety of businesses? That’s like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Because of this unflinching focus on personal injury firms, Chris has this down to a science. He knows exactly what it takes for you to climb the rankings for searches that bring in major cases—because he’s done it all and invested millions of dollars learning what Google wants.
Second, dominating high-value search results in personal injury isn’t something you can do on the cheap. As a result, our minimum monthly engagement is $15,000.
If you have a history of winning serious injury cases and you have aggressive growth goals for your practice (and especially if you’ve been burned by an SEO agency in the past), you deserve better!

U.S. companies had a need for web programmers but when they outsourced work to India and Europe, they ran into quality, time-zone and communication issues. Andres set out to solve this problem. His plan was to recruit developers in the U.S and Latin American, circumventing the time-zone issue. He would work with top talent and pay them well to ensure quality. And he would use his experience in customer service to ensure clients were well taken care of. From the start, the mission of Jobsity has been to find and develop top talent. The name Jobsity, a play on the word University, speaks to the ongoing training and education available to all our employees. As we have grown (we now have four offices in the U.S and Latin America, and over sixty employees) our drive to recruit, nurture and develop programmers has grown exponentially. Andres recruited his first employee, JP Atiaga from IBM in Ecuador, gambling the remainder of his student loan money, he doubled JP's salary and paid him two months in advance. The bet paid off, the client was happy and Jobsity was formed.

Susan Fall, President and Founder, LaunchIt PR, A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview. LaunchIt President and Founder Susan Fall focused on the transportation industry early in her career—and that singular passion continues today. Following graduation from UC Santa Barbara and a stint as the media/sponsor relations manager for the U.S. Canoe and Kayak team, Susan joined tech pioneer Qualcomm in 1993 and witnessed the revolutionary impact of GPS on the trucking industry. As the marketing and communication manager in the Omnitracs division, she recognized a lack of PR for transportation technology startups and credible guidance for companies entering into and engaging in the freight transportation industry. She saw companies struggle and fail, not because their technology products failed, but because they had no way to enter and gain traction in the very complex and highly relationship-oriented freight transportation industry. In 2000, Susan took her marketing communications and public relations expertise and industry knowledge to market and founded LaunchIt Public Relations as a PR firm focused on helping freight technology companies enter, grow with and become leaders in their specific transportation industry segments. Now, with nearly two decades under her leadership, LaunchIt’s strong and passionate dedication to the transportation industry and the field of public relations has made the company a premier PR firm and agency of record for some of the most successful technology companies in transportation. Susan’s passion and expertise are widely recognized by her clients and the industry. She’s considered a PR star and trucking technology expert. She’s also a founding member of the Women in Trucking Association and serves/has served as a board member for Truck Writers of North America, the Professional Truck Driver Institute (PTDI), Trucker Buddy, a trustee for the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) Scholarship Fund and an active member of the TCA and American Trucking Associations Communications & Image Policy Committees. https://www.launchitpr.com/

Dr. Barnard’s research over the past 20 years has focused on creating practical decision support methods and apps that can help young and old identify and overcome the limiting beliefs or assumptions that cause usto make and often repeat bad decisions. An example of a simple but powerful technique Dr. Barnard developed to overcome a common self-limiting belief — “It’s impossible (to achieve an important goal)” — simply involves asking yourself or them… “It’s impossible unless…?” Dr. Alan Barnard and his team at Goldratt Research Labs has developed a series of HARMONY DECISION SUPPORT APPS to provide users easy access to the breakthrough step-by-step decision support methods previously only available to their Fortune 500 clients. Each of these Apps were specifically designed to help individuals and managers apply the latest advances in decision science to avoid common decision mistakes. These include mistakes when making tough decisions, making complex changes or evaluating the likely global impact of local changes on organizations and/or their supply chains. Dr. Alan Barnard is also the creator of the ODYSSEY MASTERCLASS PROGRAM SERIES, offered either as an online or live experiential learning event. These events give individuals and managers the unique opportunity to master the Decision Making, Change Making and Change Simulation skills they NEED to SUCCEED using examples from their own life or organization.

Matt Peters, CEO of SearchManipulator, A DotCom Magazine Exclusive Interview. SearchManipulator was founded by engineers, not salesmen, with one goal: to provide their clients with the latest and best online reputation management technology available today. SearchManipulator also offers the best prices as well. SearchManipulator.com has created a state-of-the-art program that drastically increases the efficiency of search engine optimization techniques. This “do it yourself” software is what sets SearchManipulator apart and allows them to offer their clients the same results as their competitors at a fraction of the cost. Their software engineers have built a powerful system. Other reputation management firms charge so much because the process of entering data into the necessary websites is time consuming and boring. They do not have SearchManipulator’s revolutionary program, so they must do the work the old-fashioned way. Many of their competitors also incur the steep cost of large-scale advertising. SearchManipulator rely almost solely on word of mouth from happy clients. They have chosen to minimize expenses so they can pass the savings on to their clients.

About Tom Elliott and 23 Vitals:
FUEL FOR UNSTOPPABLE IMMUNE SYSTEMS
23VITALS is the world’s most complete immunity supplement money can buy. Everything overworked immune systems need to prepare, defend, support, and recover. Many products make claims of 'immunity' through mega-dosing 'one' or 'many' of the commonly deficient micronutrients; Vitamins A, B12, C, D3, Zinc, Selenium, and Copper. 23VITALS™ responsibly provides appropriate dosages for optimal immune function-additionally addressing entirely overlooked responsibilities with an intentional approach.
Life's 'stuff' can be heavy. Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors suppress our magnificent immune system. Gain peace of mind knowing your immune system is fueled with everything it needs to make the shift from living stressed to blessed.
The immuno-warriors 'within' are equipped to adapt. They require two things: Removal of Fear & Confidence in Life #RedefiningTransparency #Fuel
23VITALS™ is a new, cutting edge total immune support supplement that’s taking on the modern-day stressors weakening our immune health like a lack of sleep; a sedentary lifestyle; poor stress management surrounding work from home, home study, and the chaotic times we live; the standard American diet; and more.
Prior to May of 2020, this product did not exist. It was created for precisely this time, right now, where the human spirit - the entrepreneur within all of us - requires leadership and love - from the person staring back at us all - every day in the mirror.
If 5 dads can come together during a tough time and create something that is hands down - the BEST product to ever be created - explicitly for the immune system with no funding, what does that tell you?
The Human Spirit is Unstoppable.
There's Always a Way.
One by one, our mission is to ignite the human spirit within EVERYONE who've always known there was something 'bigger,' 'greater,' and 'more significant,' that they were meant to be doing...
None of us came here to be put into a box.
The human spirit thrives in the state of creativity... it's difficult to achieve this state of being while confused, fearful, and worried about 'what's next.'
One by one, this will get done.
Anything and Every Thing is Possible.
Humanity First.
Creativity & Cooperation Scarcity & Competition.

Major review websites rely heavily on back-end technical aspects of reviewer profiles when filtering spam/fraud. This includes things like:
-
IP Address
-
MAC Address
-
Email Address
-
Engagement Metrics
-
Browser and Operating System, Mobile Devices, ect.
There are sophisticated black-hat astroturfers who are evading detection.
We take a completely different approach to assist in identifying review fraud by looking at front-end technical aspects, that can be aggregated into large datasets as segmented metrics and analyzed by neural networks. We use statistical analysis on each metric as it relates to predicting the legitimacy of reviewer profiles and review content.
We also use AI frameworks like NLP-BERT and NLP-NLTK with topical segmentation to help understand the intent of review content in terms of why someone is posting feedback. The biggest question we ask ourselves, is the intention of this review to defraud a user?
At the end of the day, most reviews are legitimate but fake reviews are a huge problem for some businesses and are driving them into bankruptcy. Our organization's mission is to help businesses display more truthful reviews about their business and to solve the rampant fake review problem plaguing the internet.
If your a business, that wants to start on a journey for more truthful reviews about your business online, we would love the opportunity to serve you.

Once illegitimate reviews are identified, our AI prepares EVIDENCE so that you can successfully dispute the reviews and have them removed permanently.
