Invisible Thread is Breaking Barriers with Immersive Storytelling

What happens when you gather some of the industry’s most talented filmmakers, designers, and creators – and ask them to design stories that address real-world problems in society?

You get Invisible Thread, the studio responsible for award-winning, immersive story experiences. With superb artistry and leveraging groundbreaking technology, the team at Invisible Thread works with organizations around the world to tell important stories and bring about meaningful change.

Consider their recent project, “Emerging Radiance,” which received the Tribeca X Award for Best Immersive Experience and is currently being considered for a Peabody Award. The Augmented Reality viewing experience is what they call “an immersive memory,” celebrating the untold stories of Japanese American farmers who were unjustly incarcerated during WWII.

Invisible Thread uses many different media to help organizations tell stories that are most important – techniques that include physical art, animation, Augmented Reality, audio recordings, and film. In partnership with Creative Director Tani Ikeda and Muralist Michelle Kumata, Invisible Thread’s “Emerging Radiance” project saves the voices and stories of the past and brings them to vivid life for new generations, preserving vital pieces of American history.

The team at Invisible Thread is committed to promoting social good and using their storytelling abilities to partner with organizations that want to solve important real-world problems. Their mission is to “deliver messages that matter,” to create inspiring experiences that connect people with impactful ideas, raising awareness for critical issues such as environmental stewardship, conscious living, and social equality.

In collaboration with Performing Statistics, Invisible Thread designed the largest Augmented Reality experience to be shown on a municipal building. Located on the City Hall Building in Richmond, Virginia, the 160-foot tall #NoKidsInPrison AR Banner is visible for miles across the city. The interactive AR experience illustrates the hopes and dreams of changemakers through collective poetry, animation, and artwork projected in the sky above. 

For companies that want to work with Invisible Thread, the process is easy. After contacting the team through the website, they will begin the collaborative process of creating the story and building the experience. They can help companies at any stage of the process, from initial strategy through to design, build, and deployment. 

The team of writers, designers, builders, and filmmakers work with their clients to write the story as needed, create storyboards, and determine the best method for showcasing the story to the world. With their ability to use augmented and virtual reality technology, Invisible Thread can bring stories to life in ways that have rarely been seen before, using a multi-media approach that both challenges and inspires the viewers.

After years of creating entertainment within the film industry, the members of the Invisible Thread team now use their talent and experience to share remarkable stories that foster connection, understanding, and hope for people in the world. Using a blend of cutting-edge technology and thoughtful storytelling techniques, Invisible Thread has introduced a new way to drive positive change across the globe.

Remote Team Solutions Is Undoubtedly the Best Staffing Company in Mexico

Remote Team Solutions is a Mexican staffing company offering nearshore staffing for over 100 different positions, from customer service, data entry, project managers, IT, developers, and design to finance. The company has built great teams for great companies and provides every aspect of employee management, recruiting, and human resource functions to help you start, scale, and run your nearshore remote team. Remote Team Solutions has clients in all industries, from all sizes, and are happy to have been growing double digits each month.

Remote Team Solutions was founded by Pedro Barboglio and endeavors to get new customer programs to generate more value for the business and its teams. For example, they recently launched a complimentary program for their clients and staff (Remoties) called Remoties Training Camp. The program has many agreements with universities and online platforms, so clients can ask the firm’s talent development department for training or courses for their staff. They also introduced the Talent Development Internship Program, where they pair their clients with the best interns from different universities. In addition, Remote Team Solutions advise universities to include any special skills the interns may need in their classes. 

While the staffing industry is rapidly changing and most staff outsourcing is made in offshore countries like India and the Philippines, companies are now looking nearshore to get closer talent with similar cultures working in the same time zone. “At Remote Team Solutions, we believe in people and contributing to their lives. That’s why we build a great workplace where we ensure all our talented staff are motivated, happy, doing a great job, well-remunerated, and loyal to our clients. It’s fantastic to see people’s lives being changed while helping our customers save money and have a world-class team,” explains the CEO. 

He added, “Seeing how our US clients from other companies needed to hire big teams for their growing businesses but didn’t have the budget, time, or talent, we got together to see how to help them. They wanted to offshore their teams, but they demanded the same time zone, same culture, and high-quality motivated talent with a low turnover rate, and they didn’t want to have to fly for more than 15 hours if they needed to see their team or bring a team member to their offices. They wanted a company that would treat their staff like they would.”

Thus, after several meetings and research, they decided that Mexico was the place to have their teams, and they went on to try to find a company that could do this for them. After a long search for the right company, Pedro and his team discovered that none met the demands, and hence decided to help the clients and start their own company, Remote Team Solutions. They started with just a few customers from their other businesses and quickly started growing. “Being able to help our clients and exceed their expectations while helping our community by providing excellent opportunities is what drives us,” Pedro affirms.

The company initially had a few hiccups and struggled to gain the trust of its prospects and convert them into clients. Nonetheless, they focused on giving their clients the best quality service, and everything changed for the better. Over the years, Remote Team Solutions has emerged as the top staffing company in Mexico, with multiple awards and publications in renowned publications.

The Remote Team Solutions team hopes to open offices in two or three different states and continue adding programs that generate value for their customers.

Jean Louis Hardy Lights a Torch that Guides Entrepreneurs to Success

Jean Louis Hardy has hard conversations with business owners. They are talking about things like goals and aspirations, stress, and motivation. It is these things that contribute to mindset, which is paramount to building any successful business.

Jean Louis Hardy is a business consultant. His specialty is helping business owners with their marketing strategy, but he likes to tackle mindset first and foremost. It is only when a business owner has the right mindset that they become a successful leader.

“The ability to change your story around your mindset is the most critical part of being able to build your business. Essentially, what you have today is because of how you view the world, so as you change your mindset, [you] also change your reality. [When your reality changes,] you unlock the doors that you have never seen before, [but were always there.].” Jean Hardy says.

Hardy has had his challenges, so he knows how important mindset is. He struggled for a long time with where he wanted his career to go. He was even homeless for a time, but he transcended what he thought was possible. “I wanted to be a minister, but every time I wanted to go down that route, I had such a hard time. I really felt like God was leading me to help people build their companies and make them profitable.” Hardy says.

It was Hardy’s calling to guide and support other entrepreneurs. He implements what he calls the HiPer mindset, and he urges his clients to do the same. The HiPer mindset allows anyone to gain the clarity they need. They find their passion and purpose to perform without burnout and will be able to grow their companies to new heights.

Personal work is never complete, but once Hardy’s clients have a grasp on the importance of mindset, they can work more on the business side. The marketing topics Hardy covers with his clients are extensive: he advises them on strategic SEO to drive traffic; he suggests and offers guidance on digital advertising (like pay-per-click such as Google ads); he offers email marketing strategies; he offers website tips (to generate leads and help with branding); Hardy even helps with videography and photography.

It’s not just about teaching marketing strategies for Jean Louis Hardy, though. It’s about helping shift someone’s perspective on their role in their business. “The advice I would give to somebody who wants to start a business is to understand that when they go into their business, they are no longer the title of what they do, for example, a barber or accountant. From day one of owning a business, you are now a marketer and a salesperson.”

Business owners wear many hats, but marketing is perhaps the most important. With Jean Louis Hardy by their side, business owners will have the keys to success. Hardy has been helping people break through the limits in both business and life. His clients are truly achieving high results. They’re getting exactly what they want in life – on demand. Hardy wants to create even more connections so more people can see this success.

To do this, Hardy is moving his consulting business online. Now, he will reach thousands more people. He has even produced an online course for entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses – and their minds. He’ll continue to add content to his Instagram for his over 10K followers. Hardy’s many connections will help people be inspired and motivated to establish a mindset that will change their lives, and their businesses, for the better.

“The Crash Is Coming – Or Is It?” Separating Fact from Fiction with Matthew Murawski

Anyone involved in the stock market in the last two years has seen market valuations skyrocket nearly across the board. But as many economists warn, the market has never been designed to go up forever – and a large correction might be just around the corner. 

Fortunately, there are ways to prepare for the eventual market downturn, which means that while the correction may result in losses, you can avoid the pitfalls that are awaiting many investors. And according to Goodstein Wealth Management’s Matthew Murawski, some of the greatest damage is done in the leadup to a crash rather than the crash itself.

“I have seen more wealth destroyed in waiting for the crash than I ever have in any kind of crash or correction,” Murawski says. 

Part of that is due to panic selling – when famous investors like Michael Burry, Leon Cooperman, or Jeremy Grantham appear on television and say that a market crash is imminent, investors move quickly to liquidate their investments and hold onto cash. But that is not always the best decision, Murawski explains.

“Jeremy Grantham had a great quote in January 2021; he said the market is a full-fledged epic bubble. And then last year, the S&P did 26.9%,” Murawski says. “If you had listened to them last year and that the market is in this huge speculative bubble and we are due for an epic crash, you would have missed out on a 26.9% year in the S&P 500.”

And it is not only Grantham who has been predicting a massive downturn in the markets. Other leading names, including Robert Kiyosaki, have been calling for a market crash for the past year. 

For Murawski, these types of predictions only exacerbate the problem for investors who lack the experience or industry knowledge to separate fact-based analysis from wild speculation.

“Some of these people that have huge names can go on television and make these huge predictions, and they can spook the market,” Murawski says. “When you make bold predictions like this, a lot of it is just to get in the press. These guys can tell you that the biggest crash ever is coming, and a week later, they are there in the market.”

As Murawski points out, eventually, one of the predictions will be correct. However, these types of bold forecasts warning against a massive market crash do not educate the public – they serve only to scare people into panic selling.

“We are due for a correction,” Murawski says. “But that is not advice to try to time the markets.”

A market correction of 10-20% would be a natural part of the cycle, not a cause for mass panic and making rushed financial decisions. The problem, however, is that people trust the big names in the media.

“Most economists are not accurate in market timing,” Murawski says. “Very few of them have ever been able to do it even remotely reliably.”

So, if a market downturn is inevitable – but we don’t know when it is coming – how can investors position their investments to reach their wealth goals?

Murawski recommends a measured, balanced approach. Instead of reacting to every news release from big-name investors, you should ensure that your investment portfolio is diverse to withstand corrections to the market.

And whatever you do, Murawski says, do not panic. The crash may be coming, but with the right preparation, investors can adapt and even grow through the downturn.

“We are due for a pullback, but this year could turn out to be a nice year as well,” Murawski says. “The bull market doesn’t have to end just because we have had a couple great years.”

Matthew Murawski is a financial planner with Goodstein Wealth Management. He provides personalized wealth management advice to the firm’s 401(k) clients as well as his own individual clients. Murawski educates investors to help position them for long-term financial growth.

Creating the Perfect Holiday Gift with Jewelers Connect

With the holiday season fast approaching, consumers are hard at work searching for the perfect gifts for their family, friends, and loved ones. For many, this means scouring local and online jewelry shops for a necklace, bracelet, or ring that is beautiful and that adequately expresses their love and affection.

This holiday season, there is an even better way to find the perfect piece of jewelry – design it yourself with Jewelers Connect, the industry’s only online marketplace that allows individuals to connect directly with jewelers from anywhere in the country. Through the Jewelers Connect platform, consumers can design the ring or necklace of their dreams, and then they can hire the right professional to build the piece for them.

Instead of searching far and wide for jewelry that “almost” hits the mark, individuals can find exactly what they need, designed quickly and affordably by the best jewelers in the industry. With over 1800 jewelers in their professional network, and nearly 3000 custom projects already successfully completed, Jewelers Connect offers the smart solution to holiday jewelry shopping.

Founded by Ryan Allen, who began his own career as a custom jewelry designer, Jewelers Connect is committed to giving shoppers “amazing, personalized, secured shopping experiences while receiving the best deals possible from trusted, skilled jewelers.”

An important part of creating a memorable experience for shoppers is by streamlining the process. After a shopper registers their account, they can begin creating their first request. There, they can describe the jewelry in detail and upload an image if needed. If they need help creating a request, Jewelers Connect has an automated concierge service to walk them through the process.

Once they have created their request, shoppers can review and compare quotes from expert jewelers around the nation.

In addition to custom jewelry design, Jewelers Connect also provides jewelry repair and appraisals. For those who want to find the perfect piece but don’t know where to start, Jewelers Connect offers a wealth of expertise and information in the “Jewelry Education” section of their website.

Creative Mastermind Z3r0 on Being an Independent and Self-Sufficient Musician and Artist

Aside from their talent and musicality, one vital aspect that makes musicians stand out is their unique personalities. After all, so many successful acts in the past utilized overused and repetitive templates to produce hit songs. As such, most of today’s listeners have found a deep appreciation for authenticity and individuality. One such gifted individual who is not afraid to showcase his genuine self is Michael Bernard, more popularly known as Z3r0.

Z3r0 is a bonafide man of the arts who has found happiness and success through creative expression. He is a passionate artist who has been involved with music since he was in second grade. Since he first found out about his love for the craft, the dedicated young man actively honed his skills and elevated his abilities. 

As a testament to his commitment, Z3r0 pursued a music major in college. Because of his consistent hard work, he has become highly proficient in several instruments, including the guitar, piano, and trumpet. In addition, he has evolved into a well-rounded and self-sufficient artist who handles everything in his music production himself, from writing and playing to mastering and recording. 

The multitalented man has since released several singles, such as “S4D F4C3,” “Dream,” and “Ohmyword,” which are all available for streaming on Spotify. He also has an extended discography that features more tracks like “M4NI4C,” “people be ignorant,” “The Hill,” and “Reached out for Me” on SoundCloud. All of his songs showcase the artist’s impressive vocals, exquisite rap and scream skills, and his excellent command of incorporating various genres such as rap, metal, orchestral, and dubstep.

On top of his unrivaled prowess as a performer and musician, Z3r0 has found other ways to express his creative and imaginative nature. For example, he has ventured into the field of visual arts. “I design clothes, which feature abstract art infused sets of clothing such as matching shirts, Pants, facemasks, hoodies, scrunchie, dresses, and now shoes as well – plus backpacks, duffle bags, and I offer canvas prints and posters as well,” he shared. Fans can score this vibrant merchandise in his shop.

Besides his passion as a creative, the remarkable young man is also a clever entrepreneur. Inspired by the massive success of the creator economy, the visionary is planning to release a membership element on his site where members can access exclusive videos and live streams every week.

Additionally, Z3r0 wants to brilliantly use his platform to share what he knows with his community. In fact, members will get valuable insights, step-by-step instructions, and other commentaries on the artist’s process of generating abstract artwork. 

When asked what motivates him to create such a fantastic brand, the insightful young man answered, “I’ve always been loyal to those I pledge loyalty to, and they always threw it in the trash the first opportune moment that came along – so that motivated me to find a solution where I wouldn’t have to be dependant upon anyone else for anything one day.”

Z3r0 is indeed a true champion of the arts who has dedicated his profession and expertise to promoting creative ventures. Moving forward, he intends to continue scaling his success to greater heights. He remains hungry to grow his brand and become the next big thing in music and the arts.

Armone Tyson Gives His Artistry Distinction with Hydro-dipping Sneakers

Self-taught visual artist Armone Tyson has had an interesting journey since he decided to share his artistry with the rest of the world. The past seven years of his career have been all about finding the right art form and medium that would best highlight his creativity and authenticity as an artist. Interestingly, he discovered one of the best ways to express his art – through hydro-dipping. With much dedication and hard work, he soon came to be known as the go-to artist for hydro-dipping sneakers, having been the only one to master the process seamlessly. 

Armone does not only create awe-inspiring sneaker designs. He has also perfected the process of creating them without compromising the quality of the sneakers, ensuring durability after regular wear and tear. Over the past years, the 31-year-old artist from Muskegon, Michigan, has mastered several skills, including airbrushing, acrylic paint, shoe manipulation, luxury bag design, epoxy or resin art, and illusion art, among others. 

Apart from being such a gifted artist, Armone is also into helping the community as much as he can. He worked with his high school and the Muskegon Child Abuse Council to design cleats. His remarkable designs eventually caught the eye of various athletes, resulting in projects for the NFL, NBA, and IFBB Pro, to mention a few. He has also done projects for Ben Roethlisberger, Dennis Smith Jr, and Tony Taveras. His design for Tom Brady’s “My Cleats My Cause” was auctioned for $30,000. Additionally, he customized shoes for Adam Vinatieri and his family as a way to honor his legacy as the NFL’s all-time leading scorer. 

“I am avid about helping others. I know that new artists and creatives struggle with many things, as I have in the past. The majority of artists are afraid of being taken advantage of; that they are hesitant to assist,” Armone shared. “However, I am always willing to help artists get through the learning curve because I understand the struggle of traveling through art culture with no direction or assistance.”

Armone co-founded Built 2 Hustle, which has surprisingly developed a new culture for customer weight belts. So far, his business has received over 200 orders and continues to grow impressively. In fact, it was able to go international within the first year of its operation. 

Just like many artists, finding the inspiration to create can be challenging at times, but Armone has drawn motivation from the knowledge that his work is making a remarkable impact on the lives of many people. 

“It pushes me to go harder when I see them chasing their goals because they see me chasing mine. Finding individuals that have potential and talent and teaching them all I know, so they have the tools to not just be good but to be phenomenal. I am in the process of building a team of artists that can help large groups with finding their creativity. All of this in hopes to get more artists onto cooperated platforms,” he revealed.

By getting to know him a little better, Armone hopes to ignite something within people, especially those who have been setting aside their dreams because they are not confident enough to put themselves out there. Armone, of all people, knows all too well what this is like. It is for this very reason that he decided to share his unique journey so that others can see that there is no special formula to succeed in visual arts. They only need to step out of their comfort zones and show people what they are capable of and take it from there. 

Armone is making himself available to anyone who wishes to learn more about art, business, and planning a career as an creative. He is open to giving guidance to people who feel like they do not have enough preparation to make it in the industry. Knowing how difficult and frustrating it is along the way, he wants to be there to reassure them that everything will turn out just fine. 

 

Mvision Revisions Itself to Become a Leader in Egypt’s Marketing Sector

Over the years, successful companies have learned to pivot in response to changing markets. In 2007, Mvision supplied clients in Egypt with data banking and financial planning. Within its first years of operation, however, the team noticed a massive gap in the market. 

“We recognized a major component missing from Egypt’s communication and marketing sector,” recalls Amr Hesham, Mvision’s CEO. “To capitalize on the opportunity, we decided to entirely reinvent our company’s identity and venture into this untapped area of business. Today, we facilitate marketing and business development for clients across Egypt and have become  leaders in the Middle East’s marketing space.”

How Mvision positions itself as a marketing force in Egypt

Mvision specializes in marketing strategies, planning, execution, analyses, and ongoing management for hotels. The company’s expertise lies in brand design, brand development, creative media strategies, media placement, printing, interactive design, public relations, social networking, e-marketing, and event planning.”

“We define strategic plans, design campaigns, and — most importantly — we develop relationships,” says Hesham. “Our team combines virtual and real-world advertising. We enable our clients to dominate the market and reach their target consumers in new and exciting ways.

Market research and development with Mvision  

The Mvision team begins by collaborating with clients in research and development. They provide valuable perspectives by allowing companies to step back and see their organization from an outsider’s point of view.

“We help you enhance your strategies by assessing your customer value,” explains Hesham.” “The value you provide to your customers determines your position in the sector. We help you analyze your value in terms of cost, convenience, and communication. We deliver fresh insight into how much your customers will pay, how easy it is to purchase your product, and how much you interact with customers.”

To make this possible, Mvision gathers, analyzes, and interprets market information pertaining to clients’ products and services. They dive into the data to determine past, present, and potential prospects. Next, they examine the characteristics, spending habits, location, and needs of this group. Finally, they research the industry as a whole and the competitors’ clients’ face.

Consultation with Mvision 

Consulting with Mvision gives small and mid-range businesses a powerful marketing advantage. By outsourcing to Mvision, these companies can slash the budget many organizations spend on professional marketing departments while still obtaining the same professional results.

“Businesses come to us to consult on branding, and that’s where we excel,” Hesham remarks. “Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business. An effective brand strategy gives you an edge in competitive markets. Your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from your competitors. Your brand is who you are, who you want to be, and who people perceive you to be.”

When clients come to Mvision, they receive all the benefits of an in-house marketing department. Professionals collaborate with them to create an eye-catching logo, memorable brand messaging, powerful brand voice, an impactful tagline or slogan, and creative design templates for marketing materials,
