October 30, 2024 Helping Busy Women Get More Creative About Their Health with: Sarah Carter
Conducted by OnePoll for INTIMINA, the survey revealed
several barriers preventing women from exercising enough. Key findings included
that 49% of women feel too tired to work out, 47% find exercising difficult,
and 42% lack sufficient time. Additionally, one-third of women reported not
seeing results from their workouts, which contributes to feelings of insecurity
(12%) and hopelessness (12%).

The PYMNTS Intelligence report, titled “2024 Women’s
Wellness Index,” based on surveys with over 10,000 U.S. consumers, indicated
that nearly 83% of women without children regularly seek preventive healthcare.
In contrast, mothers are 14% less likely to do the same, with only 71% of moms
obtaining preventive medical care. About one-quarter of mothers only seek care
in emergencies or when problems arise. Furthermore, moms are 6.5% less likely
to receive regular preventive dental care compared to single women without
children.

The report also noted that women tend to prioritize the
healthcare of their loved ones above their own. Women who live alone have
higher levels of overall wellness than those who care for children, likely due
to the increased responsibilities associated with motherhood. This often leads
mothers to allocate less of their income toward their personal health.

Hi, I’m Sarah Carter. I live in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA,
with my family and three dogs. I love the beach and everything summer. My
interests include hiking, games, and reading suspense fiction. While I enjoy
working out, I also appreciate relaxing with a good comedy show.

I am passionate about living a healthy lifestyle from the
inside out. This passion began in high school and has remained a constant in my
life. I have witnessed the numerous benefits of exercise and balanced
nutrition, which together have given me a more energized and enjoyable quality
of life. I am confident these elements of wellness can do the same for you!

As an ISSA certified personal trainer and nutritionist, I
would be honored to help you discover your unique path to wellness. My goal is
to educate and empower you to achieve the healthy lifestyle you’ve always
wanted. I look forward to meeting you!

October 16, 2024 Helping You Protect Your Business From Internet Crimes with: Dylan Evans
According to a study by the University of Maryland, a cyber
attack occurs every 39 seconds, resulting in an average of 2,244 daily attacks.
Check Point research indicates that global cyber attacks
increased by 30% in Q2 2024, reaching 1,636 weekly attacks per organization.
Additionally,
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost the world $9.5
trillion USD in 2024. If cybercrime were treated as a country, it would
represent the world's third-largest economy, following the U.S. and China. In
the U.S., the situation is even more dire.
Americans spend an average of seven hours and three minutes
online each day, which adds up to over 18 years of their adult lives.
Conversely, people in Japan spend the least time online daily, averaging three
hours and 56 minutes, while those in South Africa spend the most at nine hours
and 24 minutes.
Dylan Evans is on an incredible journey with his startup,
Simple Salt, a cybersecurity company that aims to streamline the challenging
process businesses face in obtaining effective defenses against cyber crimes.
Professionally, he demystifies security and demonstrates
easy and effective ways for business leaders to combat internet crime.

October 16, 2024 Making the Immigration Process Easier with: Michael Hendricks
According to a recent Gallup poll, two-thirds of Americans
view immigration as beneficial for the country, while 27% consider it to be a
bad thing.
The percentage of people who see immigration as a good thing
has decreased from its peak of 77% in 2020 and is the lowest recorded by Gallup
since 2014, when it was 63%.
However, the current 68% who view immigration as positive is
generally higher than in the early 2000s through 2012. Although only a quarter
of Americans see immigration as detrimental, this perspective is more prevalent
among Republicans (43%) than Democrats (10%), with independents aligning more
closely with the national average (28%).
Nonetheless, half of Republicans, 67% of independents, and
87% of Democrats still consider immigration a good thing.
The poll was conducted after the Biden administration lifted
emergency regulations, known as Title 42, which had allowed border control
officers to immediately deport individuals caught entering the U.S. illegally,
rather than providing them with an asylum hearing.
Michael Hendricks is
a husband, father, entrepreneur, lawyer, and pastor. He spent his early years
in Central Mexico, fostering a love for languages, culture, and immigrant
experiences. With over 10 years of legal experience, he embarked on a mission
in 2021 to create a simplified immigration platform in the USA. His goal is to
provide holistic support to immigrants by reducing frustration and anxiety,
increasing transparency and affordability, and offering a comprehensive
approach to the immigration process. Together with Allcanza, he aims to
streamline immigration procedures, ensuring that individuals of all educational
levels have affordable and transparent access to applying for immigration
benefits, with costs averaging 50% less than traditional attorney fees, while
still benefiting from human guidance and attorney review.

October 10, 2024 Developing A Relationship with Jesus Providing You Clarity and Purpose with: Desiree Taylor
The National Council on Aging
reports that among Americans aged 12 and older, mild hearing loss is most
common, affecting 37.1 million people. More than half (about 20.8 million) of
those affected are adults aged 60 and older. About half of Americans (47%)
describe themselves as religious, 33% say they are spiritual but not religious,
and 2% say they are “both.” Although the vast majority of U.S. adults have one
of these orientations toward the nonphysical world, the 18% who say they are
neither religious nor spiritual is twice the proportion Gallup measured when it
first asked this question in 1999. Over the same period, the percentage
identifying as religious has declined by seven percentage points, according to
Gallup News. Desiree Taylor, is an author and speaker with a heart full of love
for women in every situation and season, connecting them to Jesus, the only one
who brings life-changing transformation, and walking together with them on
earth as they journey towards heaven. She is a wife to her husband Duane and a
mom of two adult sons, Kyle and David. She enjoys sharing about marriage and
the different stages of parenting, especially the adult parenting journey she
is on now. Desiree is a bilateral cochlear implant recipient and has the heart
to share her hearing loss journey with others through writing and speaking. Her
experience has given her a compassionate heart towards those with physical and
mental struggles, and she loves to share those stories on her website. When
Desiree is not writing, she is reading a good book with a hot cup of tea,
spending time with family or friends, or looking for new experiences to live.

October 09, 2024 Shedding Light on the Benefits of Mentoring with: Deborah Heiser
Let's delve into a thought-provoking question. What’s your relationship with the word 'connection
'? Whose opinions do you value when you seek out guidance? When you have to make a big decision, is
there someone you value and trust? Mentorship, a crucial aspect of personal and
professional growth, is often undervalued. According to Mentorloop, 76% of
people believe mentors are important, yet only 37% have one. This gap is
significant and underscores the need for more mentorship opportunities. Across
the nation, 86% of children ages 6 to 17 have at least one adult mentor in
their school, neighborhood, or community who provides advice or guidance,
according to the 2022 National Survey of Children's Health.

October 01, 2024 Intricate Connection Between Personality and Mental Well-Being with Kareen Aristide
If you'll indulge me for a moment, I want to have a
conversation about the power of perspective, how we view it, the concept of
life, and how we make decisions, and the consequences or rewards that come as a
result of our judgment.

According to the World Health Organization, women are more
likely to have depression than men. An estimated 3.8% of the population
experience depression, including 5% of adults (4% among men and 6% among
women), and 5.7% of adults older than 60 years. Approximately 280 million
people in the world have depression. A new report released by Boston Consulting
Group (BCG) reveals that, on average, 48% of workers from eight countries
indicate that they are currently grappling with burnout.

Kareen Aristide is a passionate force on a mission to
empower individuals to unlock their full potential—professionally, personally,
and spiritually. With an illustrious career spanning nearly 25 years, she has
left an indelible mark as a pastor, speaker, trainer, coach, consultant, and

September 25, 2024 Helping Marketers Solve Digital Ad Fatigue with Measurable Outdoor Advertising with: Charlie Riley
Let's discuss Advertising Awareness and how aware the
general public is about who is selling to them, how they are doing it, and the
impact it has on all of us.
A survey conducted by OAAA-Harris Poll in 2021 revealed a
resurgence of mobility, with 83% of respondents noting their awareness of
billboards during highway travel and 82% during local driving within the town.
An overwhelming 83% of consumers expressed their attentiveness to Out-of-Home
(OOH) advertising while driving, underscoring its effectiveness in reaching a
wide audience.

Charlie Riley is the first Head of Marketing at OneScreen, a
measurable outdoor advertising platform. He has been the first marketing hire
at 6 organizations, leading marketing and sales at seed stage startups up to
$200 million organizations. A father of 3 and former CMO, this Top 50 B2B
Marketing Influencer to Follow by TopRank Marketing is able to discuss how
mastering internal marketing is almost as important as external communication
while helping Go-To-Market teams better understand how to use outdoor marketing
executions like billboards and conference branding to deliver revenue growth.
He says, "Most marketers are used to digital channels, but the costs and
results continue to decline as everyone is inundated with too much noise in
email inboxes and on social media channels. For companies that respect brand
marketing as much as direct response, adding outdoor advertising to their
marketing mix can add creative impressions for those attending a conference or
used in an ABM campaign to stand out. The best part is, OOH advertising is
measurable and less expensive than people think. OOH campaigns can deliver
results marketers need to share with the C-suite, just like digital campaigns.
Outdoor advertising can be used for ABM campaigns, using a targeted account
list to strategically plan locations that the target buyers will drive to work
or where they spend time. Exposure through billboards, wrapped cars, and more
draw targeted eyeballs from top prospects. Seeing companies use outdoor ads for
customer recognition campaigns, brand awareness at major tradeshows, and more,
outdoor advertising can be a brand play as part of the overall marketing mix
that has been proven to drive better results. What's old is new again with
billboards and more, and it's all measurable. For more information:
