DEFHOLD Unveils New Products in Time for Christmas

0

ย The second-generation DeFi ecosystem, DEFHOLD, revealed plans this week to release some new products in the coming weeks. Specifically, the firm will launch EWF (early withdrawal fee) pools and a Whale Club. The new functionality will help steadfast investors secure more returns and increase the overall liquidity of the platform. Notably, the new pools fall in line with DEFHOLD’s overall goal to promote steady-handed investment strategies within the DeFi ecosystem.

EWF Early Withdrawal Fee Pools

EWFs are one of the newest DeFi protocols making waves in the market. The way an EWF works is simple. When users join a liquidity pool, they agree to lock up their funds for a predetermined time. This locking of funds is what is known as staking. Users receive rewards based on the amount they stake, the type of pool they stake in, and how many coins they stake.

On some platforms, these funds remain fully locked until this time passes. Investors who need to access these funds early must wait until the staking period ends. Crucially, it did not take long to learn that leaving usersโ€™ funds inaccessible is a big negative for investors. Consequently, the DeFi market quickly adjusted, and new platforms came with the ability to withdraw funds whenever you needed.

A Balanced Approach

However, this strategy came with a few caveats as well. If you withdraw early, you receive a fee and lose any profits. Critically, platforms that charged no early withdrawal fee saw their liquidity drop when market uncertainty set in. This drop in the liquidity of pools led developers to think of a balance between the two options.

This desire eventually led to the creation of EWF pools. EWF pools are the culmination of months of research and development. Finally, developers determined that penalizing users for early access to their funds only works well when the penalty goes directly to other pool investors. In this way, this new protocol strengthens the poolโ€™s integrity and bolsters profits for participants.

EWF pools give investors more reason not to renege on their commitment. Every time a user does leave the pool prematurely, all other investors earn free crypto. This crypto then makes more profits via the interest-earning pool. In the end, you have a self-feeding profit cycle that benefits those who stood with the original plan.

Whale Club

The Whale Club is a new product catalog designed to meet the needs of investors willing to impact the projects in which they invest. Notably, the new features include the introduction of multiple private vaults allowing investors to collectively invest in projects by getting a buying power like a whale. Each of these vaults feature minimum balance requirements to join, as well as minimum market cap of the underlying assets.

The Whale Club is unique because it allows DeFi investors to influence their returns through their behavior during the investment period, by managing their entry and exit price more accurately given their increased buying power. This strategy allows those that hold the most holdings in a particular project to leverage that positioning to their advantage. In essence, the product functions similarly to being a controlling shareholder of a company, which can turn out to be a great advantage when it comes to price fluctuations.ย 

DEFHOLD

DEFHOLD continues to see growing adoption due to its unique business strategy. The firm represents the first genuinely non-inflationary staking and farming DeFi protocol to hit the market. Investors have noticed the benefits of DEFHOLD, and these new products are sure to intensify curiosity. For now, DEFHOLD investors have an exciting December ahead of them.

Fitness Coach Allegra Paris Helps Entrepreneurs Work Through COVID-19 Emotional Eating

0

COVID-19 has ushered in a new era of working from home, exercising from home, and of course, eating from home. This kind of unexpected inactivity, with people walking only a few hundred steps around a house or apartment every day, was not exactly in the yearly planner for entrepreneurs in 2020. This โ€œout of control feelingโ€ is why so many people have been caught up in emotional eating as a way to process their fears, stresses, and anxieties about the future. Running a business by yourself is already stressful enough โ€“ wondering if COVID-19 mandates are going to shut it down for good makes it that much harder.

In a poll of more than 1,000 peopleย conducted by WebMD, it was found that 50% of women and 25% of men admitted they had gained significant weight due to coronavirus restrictions. As of June 2020, more than 500 million people had searched โ€œquarantine weight gainโ€ and โ€œquarantine 15โ€ on Facebook, signifying that emotional eating, weight gain, and obesity management has become increasingly difficult for people. Not to mention, as we head into month 7 of quarantining at home, gyms around the country areย being blocked from reopeningย to the public.

An Entrepreneur Helping Entrepreneurs

All of this is a recipe for disaster when it comes to personal health maintenance, fitness, and nutrition. One celebrity fitness coach and trainer, Allegra Paris, is determined to provide an at-home solution that entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and gig economy workers can consider for getting their bodies back in shape and energized for a full day of work ahead.

No stranger to launching her own personal ventures and working from home for years as a business owner and clothing designer, Allegra feels personally called to help entrepreneurs realize they can get out ahead of their health with nothing more than an hour per day and her customized meal plans.

According to Allegra, the problem is as follows for entrepreneurs:

  • Not enough hours in the day:ย entrepreneurs have to work as bosses, customer service reps, marketers, and analyzers every single day to keep their business afloat.
  • Not enough information: too many people are unaware of macronutrients, intermittent fasting, and healthy food options/snacks to grab working from home.
  • The refrigerator is calling:ย sitting home, alone, all day can increase a personโ€™s desire to get up and eat. Eating cures boredom, especially with food right around the corner in the refrigerator.

Whereas many entrepreneurs were used to calorie-burning by running around all day from store to store, now they are being forced to do all of that business at home. They end up in a sedentary position, unable to burn the same amount of calories, yet they are eating more than ever before.

Transformational Training Starts at Home

Keeping this in mind, Allegra carefully designed a high-ticket transformation program that she adapts to every single customer. Based on their individual needs and restrictions, Allegra Paris works with these people one-to-two times per week, including live personal training, meal plans, and accountability check-ins. The all-encompassing program includes macronutrient calculations, measurement tracking, exercise, nutrition, and accountability โ€“ something Allegra sees as paramount in a COVID-19 world.

โ€œI am helping people learn that instead of turning to food, they can choose to take work breaks and practice yoga, strengthening and conditioning, and workout to release endorphins,โ€ said Allegra. โ€œCreating these kinds of habits are long-lasting and will not only help entrepreneurs cut back on caloric intake, but it will also help them energize their bodies and their minds so they can perform to their fullest day after day.โ€

Allegraโ€™s workout programs are calculated with strategic workout lengths and exercises to maximize training time and yield tangible results. The programs create stress-relieving fitness and nutrition plans that will help clients feel less frantic when their daily schedules are overwhelmed. Allegra also provide a list of healthy snacks that these entrepreneurs can turn to when they are battling a mid-afternoon craving.

While itโ€™s clear that social distancing mandates arenโ€™t going away anytime soon, Allegra is passionate about showing the hardest working people in the world that they can manage their health and fitness right at home. With her strategic accountability program that is customized to every single person, Allegra is on a mission to help individuals regain control over their bodies and their lives today.

Tenoch Huerta joins Black Panther 2: this is what we know

Tenoch Huerta joins Black Panther 2 this is what we know

Tenoch Huertaย could be one of the Mexicans to join theย Marvel Cinematic Universe,ย since some reports indicate that the actor will be part of the cast ofย Black Panther 2, aย sequel that will arrive after the death of the protagonist of the first work,ย Chadwick Boseman.

The first reports, released by Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, indicated thatย Black Panther 2 wouldย begin production in 2021 despite the death ofย Bosemanย , which has begun to generate speculation about what the film will be about and who will be the actor who will take the mantle of the Panther (who until now is expected to be Letitia Wright who playedย Shuriย in the previous film and in theย Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgameย filmsย ).

The reports indicateย Tenoch Huertaย would be in talks to play theย mainย villainย of this sequel, although it has not been indicated what character he could take in this work.ย 

Chadwick Bosemanย lost his life on August 28 from colon cancer, leaving Marvel and Disney without a clear plan for a sequel.ย However, since in the comics Shuri took the mantle of the Panther after the death of her brother, it is expected that it will happen in the same way, in addition to serving to promote diversity within Marvel cinema.ย 

Tenoch Huertaย had signed to participate in theย Cortรฉsย yย Moctezumaย seriesย produced by Amazon Prime, however, the series was canceled.ย At the moment he has not been confirmed for theย Marvelย filmย , but some reports already indicate him as part of the cast, with which he would joinย Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Angela Basset, Daniel Kaluuyaย and other actors that we saw in the first headband.ย 

Tenoch Huertaย was one of the recipients of one of the GQ Men of the Year Awards, along withย Yalitza Aparicioย .ย In his speech, he spoke about the importance of diversity in cinema and why one should speak openly about the racism that exists in Mexico.ย 

Angie Lee Shares Why Itโ€™s Important to Be Willing to Be Embarrassed

0

We are all biologically programmed to fit in. According to social psychology, โ€œthe need to belong is an intrinsic motivation.โ€ So, doing something embarrassing or that makes us stand out can feel absolutely, positively terrifying, because it goes against belonging. At the heart of it, being embarrassed is equivalent to feeling rejected or like we donโ€™t belong, which can be scary enough to paralyze us. Angie Lee says do it anyway.ย 

Lee is a podcast host, Instagram presence, event organizer, and a soon-to-be author who continuously preaches the importance of being willing to be embarrassed. โ€œHereโ€™s the thing: no one is going to do it well on the first go. So I always ask people, are you willing to have a really bad first draft? Are you willing to suck at first for your dream?โ€ she posed.ย 

Everyone Is Embarrassed At First

Sometimes itโ€™s hard to imagine the people you look up to most ever once putting out bad content, but Lee says everyone has a really bad first few tries. โ€œEveryone successful who you look up to had to be a beginner at one point, which means they had to be embarrassed,โ€ she explained. โ€œBeing embarrassed is the starting point in which all successful people begin. Thereโ€™s no way around it.โ€ She goes so far as to say that actually, youโ€™re doing something wrong if your first attempt doesnโ€™t suck.

Itโ€™s not going to be easy at first, and embarrassment is a rite of passage for any beginner. So, you have to be willing to be embarrassed and just press โ€œpostโ€ anyway. โ€œI always tell people, too – whatโ€™s the worst that can happen? You can always launch again if no one purchases your course. You can always publish another podcast episode if no one downloads the first,โ€ Lee offers. โ€œYouโ€™ll consistently show up and get better every time.โ€

Angie Lee Started From Zero, Too

Forever a fan of helping beginners see the journey laid out in front of them, Lee is fully transparent about her own journey and where she started from. Because, newsflash, she also didnโ€™t begin with everything figured out. Her podcast, the Angie Lee Show, currently has over 10 million downloads and she has just under 100,000 Instagram followers, but she started from zero, too. She also started as both a college and a corporate dropout.

Lee shares that her original numbers were as follows:ย 

Her first live event had 15 women.

Her first speech had an audience of 10.

Her first podcast episode had 75 downloads.ย 

Her first blog post had 6 readers (but one was her mom).

Her first live webinar had 3 women.

Her first course had five sign ups.

Her first product had 12 customers.ย 

โ€œI share this because the secret is to keep writing even when no one is reading and keep recording even when no one is listening, and to be okay with it if there are total crickets whenever you put something out there,โ€ she encouraged. This is where showing up comes in. โ€œI kept showing up over and over and over again. People wonder what the secret is to success? Itโ€™s being embarrassed but showing up consistently, even if that embarrassment and fear continues to linger.โ€

But, what about once the followers start coming in?

Beyond starting and being embarrassed about the crickets and the bad first drafts, thereโ€™s another fear, too — embarrassed about what people will think of you when they start consuming your content in hoards. Sure, itโ€™s one type of embarrassment to have scant likes on your post announcing your new business. But, itโ€™s another when youโ€™re worried that people are going to judge you or that they donโ€™t like what youโ€™re putting out.ย 

โ€œWhat I need people to know is that itโ€™s actually selfish to not share your gift. Iโ€™ve often felt like putting myself out there for the world to see on social media is similar to feeling like youโ€™re naked. But thereโ€™s something even more terrifying: waking up five years from now in the same place you are today because you were too scared to BE embarrassed and to be seen,โ€ she noted.

The truth is, some people arenโ€™t going to like what you put out. But most people will. โ€œI tell people to think of Instagram likes as not just โ€˜likesโ€™, but heartbeats,โ€ Lee explained. โ€œThereโ€™s a person behind that who needs what you have to give. They have a problem that you can solve.โ€ย 

Whenever youโ€™re worried about being embarrassed, or fighting through the embarrassment youโ€™re currently feeling in your beginning stages, Lee says to think about those heartbeats who youโ€™re out to help AND the version of you thatโ€™s five years in the future. Do it for them. Because, simply put, you canโ€™t make a massive impact or make any progress towards your dreams unless youโ€™re willing to be totally embarrassed.ย 

The Skyโ€™s the Limit: AD4M Fitness

0

Founded by husband-and-wife combo Vincent and Monika, AD4M Fitness, one of the worldโ€™s fastest growing gym equipment producers, blends two completely different industries (auto parts and gym equipment) into one in a way no one would anticipate, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.ย 

Based on Monikaโ€™s deep manufacturing and distribution background, AD4M Fitness has built an incredible and unusual manufacturing process. Vincent and Monika negotiated with a steel manufacturer overseas which was originally targeted on auto parts. The entrepreneurial couple proposed a plan for the manufacturer to start building cast-iron, Olympic-style weightlifting plates using the same basic materials and equipment for their car parts. This one move enabled them to create deeply discounted gym equipment that is currently creating a $1 million-per-month buzz.

Based in Casper, Wyoming and operating with a distribution center in San Jose, California, AD4M is one of the worldโ€™s fastest-growing gym equipment producers with projected revenues of $10 million this yearโ€ฆ only their first year as a company.

While gyms have been hit by membership drops while being affected by equipment shortages (since manufacturers have closed their doors), AD4M Fitness has dominated a desperate market.

Just to provide an example of the incredible offerings for AD4M Fitness:ย 

โ€œThe FlexBell Adjustable Dumbbells are a modern day work of art. They come in a few different sizes but we decided to carry only the heavy duty 65LBS version.

These are incredibly compact, sleek, and easily adjustable with the flick of your wrist. The 65LBS (130LBS total weight) dumbbell set sells anywhere from $599 to $2,000 plus shipping anywhere on the net but here at Ad4m we’re able to offer them at an unbeatable price with free shipping anywhere within the continental USA.โ€ (Source)

Vincent explains some of their journey, โ€œMy wife & I have been tackling all kinds of new challenges with manufacturing & importing equipment from overseas, and the logistical challenges of fulfilling 400-500 orders a day across the United States [are large]. Amazingly enough, [weโ€™re doing this] all with five main products. If we can achieve this, the sky may be truly the limitโ€ฆ [We have a] new line of gym equipment, sponsoring power lifting & strong man events, and a line of athletic wear [in the works]. We aim to leverage our early success to invest in building value & public awareness into our brand. The long term goal would definitely be to establish US-based manufacturing and go public.โ€

As Vincent and Monika explain to Medium:

โ€œPutting consumer support, and satisfaction, first of course. We also plan on launching the best brand awareness, and marketing campaign the fitness industry has ever seen. We believe connecting with your consumer is really key so weโ€™d love to build a very active social media presence, and really take people behind the scenes to see what weโ€™re all really about.โ€ (Source)ย 

The saying โ€œthe sky’s the limitโ€ can sound like a cliche when describing a successful company. For AD4M Fitness, it seems more like a basic truth about who they are.

Disney +ย arrived in the United States and parts of Europe last year, and finally arrives in Mexico and Latin America with a huge catalog consisting of hours and hours of series chapters and, according to reports, more than 500 films ranging from classics from the Mickey Mouse studio toย Marvelย productionsย , theย Star Warsย sagaย andย National Geographicย contentย .

David Fincher thinks Joker was a betrayal of the mentally ill

David Fincher thinks Joker was a betrayal of the mentally ill

Like it or not,ย David Fincherย is one of the best filmmakers of the time, so his statements will always be controversial in relation to the seventh art.ย 

Although the director was without projects for a long time, he recently spoke out and explained that heย does not think he will do a third season of Mindhunterย , theย Netflix seriesย that followed the story of two FBI agents in the 1980s.ย 

Now,ย David Fincherย has put himself in the spotlight, as he is working onย Mankย ,ย an ambitious film that takes us to old Hollywoodย and that could be the favorite of theย previously mentionedย streamingย serviceย for the Oscar.ย 

But not only that, the press is talking about the filmmaker, but recently, he made strong statements aboutย Jokerย , the film that was starred byย Joaquin Phoenixย and directed byย Todd Philipsย .ย 

In an interview with the British mediumย The Telegraph , he spoke about his next feature film, but also took the opportunity to criticize the film of one of the most iconic and controversial villains of all time.

“No one would have thought I had a chance for a huge hit withย Jokerย ifย Theย Darkย Knightย hadn’t been as massive as it was,” he explained.ย Later, he described it as a mix of twoย Martin Scorseseย classicsย .ย โ€œI don’t think anyone would have looked at that stuff and thought: yeah, let’s takeย Travis Bickleย (ย Taxi Driverย ) andย Rubert Pupkinย (ย The King of Comedyย ) and mix them up, then catch them in a betrayal of the mentally ill and get that’s for a billion dollars, โ€concludedย Fincherย .ย 

It’s not the first time someone has said this aboutย Jokerย , as evenย Todd Philipsย repeatedly stated that he had taken a lot of references fromย Scorsese’sย classicsย .ย 

It seems thatย David Fincherย is very upset with the decisions that the studios have made recently, since he considers that the only objective is to generate the largest box office possible without paying attention to the quality of the projects.ย 

The filmmaker is probably right;ย in fact,ย Jokerย became the highest-grossing adult-rated movie ever andย Warnerย evenย offered him 50 million from Joaquin Phoenix for two sequelsย .ย 

However,ย Jokerย has a very extensive fan base, so it would be difficult for the studio to make the decision to take advantage of it.ย 

The apps that you should have if you are a music lover

The apps that you should have if you are a music lover

Todayย music appsย are an essential tool for any level of melomania.ย If your thing is to bring music inside (and outside), this list is for you: from the obvious ones like Spotify and Shazam to the lesser known ones that allow you to become a DJ and organize a karaoke session, here are theย bestย appsย soundย (all available for IOS and Android, except where indicated).

Spotify

Perhaps the most popular in the world, thisย music appย is today one of the parameters by which the success of an artist in the world of music is measured, and a basic tool for theย modern music lover and his commandmentsย that he likes to put together. yourย personalย playlistsย (for traffic, for the gym, for sex, etc.) and keep abreast of new releases.ย To this day, theย appย allows access to a catalog of more than 30 million songs.

SoundHound

In an old episode of the sitcom “Married with Children,” Al Bundy, the main character, can’t remember the title of one of his favorite songs other than the tune.ย With SoundHound, he did not have that setback, because inย addition to the dynamics of Shazam (areย appย s rivals in fact), SoundHound has an algorithm that allows just byย whistling or humming a song, the system identifies who it is .

Musicmatch

It boasts as the world’s largest song lyrics app / catalog.ย Thisย applicationย allows you to listen to songs with the lyrics synchronized in real time and link it withย other apps like Spotifyย or Apple Music.ย In addition, in pure Shazam style, it recognizes the lyrics of the song that sounds around you (on the television, radio or speakers at a party) and adds the song (with everything and itsย lyricsย ) immediately to your lists.ย With thisย appย , without a doubt we would have found out that the lyrics of โ€œAserejรฉโ€ were actually the wrongly pronounced version of what the hip-hop group Sugar Hill said in their song โ€œRapper’s Delightโ€: โ€œย I said a hip hop the hippie the hippieย ,ย to the hip hip hop and you don’t stop,ย the rock it to the bang bang boogie โ€.

Shazam

One of the coolest is thisย music appย that allows you to identify what is playing at the moment, without having to put your musical knowledge to the test.ย Its system is based on generating a fingerprint of the music that is listened to, comparing it with an immense database that generates coincidences and helps you to know the same who sings the song that sounds in the environmental speakers of the shopping center, as in the radio or on the party DJ set.

It is one of theย music applicationsย designed exclusively for lovers of symphonies, operas and classical sounds.ย It offers you searches by composer, orchestra or period, and aย weeklyย playlistย .ย No, it is not anย appย for everyone, but it does offer an alternative to trendy music in a database of more than 2 million songs.ย Just like Spotify, Amazon Music and other similar services, you can find it in free and paid versions (with more features, such as higher quality sound).

DJay

It promises to turn your smartphone (or tablet) into a music production system that will make you the life of the party.ย Thisย music applicationย allows you to mix songs (almost) like a professional thanks to its intuitive format, its sequencer and an automatic mixing system based on artificial intelligence that will make sure your mixes are always up to the task.ย In addition, it is compatible with physical devices and can be purchased with a subscription and is available only for Apple computers.

Sing karaoke

Not everyone likes to get into karaoke, but any party that is respected ends with the entire crowd singing their favorite songs.ย Well, thisย appย offers an unlimited number of tracks, the possibility for you to interact with other users instantly (very practical in a meeting by zooming out of control) and also the functionality to record the session.

JamFeed

Thisย applicationย keeps you up to date, in real time, of what is happening in the world of music: record releases, new videos, news about your favorite artists, concerts, trivia, interviews, etc.ย Theย music appย constantly sends you notifications so that you don’t lose sight of the musical news, filtered by your musical taste and sound preferences (no, fear not, you won’t get news about the new Menudo series if extreme heavy metal is your thing ).

SongPop

It’s pure addiction, and this music app / game (winner of the 2013 Weeby awards for best Social Game) is a challenge to your musical knowledge.ย The format is a quiz / knowledge trivia, which challenges the user to know the name of the song that is playing and other information about it.ย The fun is unlocking levels as you become an expert.ย In addition, you can select the genre, the decade and even the artist of your choice, to show that you are aย true music loverย .

Himalayas

There are manyย onlineย radioย appsย , but Himalaya stands out because it is aย musical applicationย that collects the best thematic podcasts and brings them together on its platform.ย And yes, musical themes abound, free of advertising and transmission failures.ย In addition, you can choose the contents by musical genre (ranging from relaxing sounds to avant-garde or urban pop), tune in to the best musical radio programs in one place and put together the list of podcasts you want to listen to at any time of the day.ย Without a doubt, thisย appย created in China that has 500 million users, must have something very good.

Black Widow David Harbor has given a big spoiler for the movie

Apparently the infinite delays suffered byย “Black Widow”ย are causing the actors of thisย Marvel movie toย reveal some of their biggest secrets, which on the one hand may delight some fans while others may classify the revelations as an uncomfortable spoiler .ย Anyway, now it has beenย David Harborย who has given details of the weight of his character in the plot and apparently he has a lot, a lot to do with Natasha Romanov’s past.

Until now it was known that the “Stranger Things” actor will play Alexi Shostakov orย Red Guardianย , a Soviet equivalent of Captain America (only a notable variation of the colors), according to the comics where he stands out for his fighting and espionage skills .ย It was also already known, according to the trailer and some interviews with Scarlett Johansson, that the film will explore the life ofย Black Widowย before being part of the largest team of superheroes in the world.

Already in the preview, you can seeย David Harborย not only showing the potential of the character not only in battle but even supporting Yelena (Florence Pugh, the new Black Widow) andย Natasha Romanoffย by saying “We are family” and later sharing the table which sparked all kinds of theories among fans.

Black Widow David Harbor has given a big spoiler for the movie 1

But now David Harbor decided to break the silence and has already given more details of the relationship of Red Guardian in theย universe ofย Black Widowย ย  andย Marvelย and has confirmed that, in effect, he will be “the father” of the heroine.ย โ€œThe connection between him and Black Widow is that with them they started a family of spies in the United States during the 90’s. So, Rachel Weisz’s character, Melina, was like her mother;ย Alexei, the father and Natasha and Yelena were the girls.ย We see it at the beginning of the film and they function as a family, โ€said the actor in an interview with Comic Book.

But while the trailer already showed a bit of that, David Harbor did not stop and revealed a little more of the jumps in time that we could see in the film through Red Guardian,ย Black Widowย and Red Room, the program of Soviet training where Natasha was trained.ย โ€œ(He and Natasha) have known each other for a long time and lost contact for almost twenty years.ย When the story is picked up, Alexei knew Natasha deeply as no one else did as a child.ย He took it out of Red Room and put it back because he believed in their cause, “the actor has advanced when speaking of” Marvel’s Black Widow: The Official Movie Special Book “, a book that apparently contains many secrets of the film such as costumes and other spoilers.

This title also contains an interview in which Scarlett Johansson reveals that the film will reveal the intriguing mission thatย Black Widow and Hawkeye carried out in Budapestย and that it has become one ofย Marvel’sย biggest questionsย .

Black Widow will premiere until May 2021 after postponing its premiere several times due to the COVID-19 crisis.

At the Core of Change: How Honor Society Is Touching Lives

0

What does it mean to create change, to truly transform the inner fabric of a society in such a way that it alters the lives of children, families, and communities?

In our current era of social unrest, political distrust, and a constant new cycle of fear and insecurity, we are left to peruse our resources to determine what we can do to positively affect change, and more importantly, peace, in our divided and hurting communities.

Education sits at the burning center of the change process for a nation that is looking for hope. Through equipping and empowering students and their families with knowledge and resources, education helps bridge gaps to enable students to flourish and build careers, and to become the informed, balanced, and well-adjusted leaders that our society needs at every level. To teach is to give someone the world

Mike Moradian turned down the opportunity to attend the world’s most prestigious business school in order to help grow Honor Society (www.honorsociety.org), one of many honor societies that helps to provide resources and empowerment for students and teachers alike.

Moradian explains his initial involvement with Honor Society to Toolsy:

In 2012, we were presented with the opportunity to work with and take the concept of an honor society to the next level. A lot of people think that I founded Honor Society, but that is not true.ย 

There was an opportunity for leadership given my background and my abilities in tech, marketing and education to help Honor Society realize its full potential in the Internet world.

We took a relatively small idea and decided to focus on building it to be the largest and leading academic society in the nation.

Moradian continues,

โ€œWe connect students with opportunities to meet other people and to find prestigious positions in graduate schools and professional positions. We focus on academics, professional tools, benefits and really recognizing our members.ย 

Itโ€™s really a community of success . . . and more geared towards academic, professional and personal success.ย ย ย 

To further our philanthropic programs I helped found the Honor Society Foundation, which is a platinum rated 501(c)(3) that distributes our member scholarship program across the United States.โ€

Nana Obioha, student, explains her experience:

โ€œI strongly recommend the Honor Society to any student at any educational level for a lot of reasons. This organization provides opportunities to connect and network with peers from across the nation. This will go a long way in building a support system, creating academic connections and collaborations as well as sharing university or life experiences. The Honor Society also has a lot of benefits and discounts for students ranging from restaurants and insurance discounts, cashback on purchases, scholarship for achievers, and connect trips among others.

They also have a career page for job seekers. I am extremely honored to be a member of this society!โ€

Honor Society has chapters at numerous universities, and is widely recognized as a leader in the educational world. Honor Society leads the path for upward-moving students and alumni and offers scholarships, discounts, test prep, career tools and much more. Learn more about Honor Society at official site.ย
