How Viral TikTok and Reel Creator, Taylor Francois Bodine (Coach T) Is Creating Viral Video Content For Businesses and Producing Millions in Business Revenue

NY Weekly Staff on February 15, 2023

For business owners and entrepreneurs struggling to master the world of TikTok and Reels for marketing, look no further than Taylor Francois Bodine and the team at The Flow Agency. Taylor Francois Bodine has an impressive business record and has been helping business professionals across multiple industries to build and leverage their social accounts – particularly Tiktok and Instagram Reels to predictably increase their business revenue. Here’s the biggest takeaway – it doesn’t require dancing, skits or endless challenges hoping to drum up some sales. In fact, she’s known for getting as many as 3 Million views on content without dancing! Since joining the Flow agency, Coach T has worked to create strategies that allowed for businesses to bring their footprint to TIkTok and Reels in a way that made sense for their brand. This one of a kind tool provides businesses with the training and ability to increase their income from zero to 7 figures and beyond. Flow Agency and Coach T’s “done for you” program has enabled even the most camera shy or social media resistant entrepreneurs and professionals to instantly boost their income through social media. 

How Does It Work?
Instead of slaving away on direct messages, sales calls, paid ads, or complicated high tech, the “Done For You” Tiktok and Reels services allow businesses to leave the viral content to Coach T and her team. Rather than business owners and marketing departments trying to learn how to produce video content that gets sales, this team handles it for them, leaving businesses in their zone of genius. Coach T  focuses on helping her clients create a more organic and engaging style of content that gets sales instead of likes and follows.  “This allows a business to immediately start attracting leads. On average people are able to track anywhere from 1000 – 1 million new leads in their business everyday. “It is not the style of content that some online businesses are used to posting; it uses a different type of content that is funneled towards the desired client audience.”, says Coach T.  Not only that, these clients actually want to be found. The expert method of the “Done For You TikTok and Reels” identifies those who are interested and will purchase and engage with a product or service. “We’ve been able to help buttoned up businessmen, stale marketing departments, and camera shy women create content that leads directly to sales. From shooting and producing content, to posting and managing their social media accounts, we have been able to create a done for you system that does more than traditional paid ad placement.”

Why It Works
“No one else is doing what we are doing. We focus on sales, not just views and likes.” The Tiktoks and Reels engineered by Taylor Francois Bodine and the team are thoughtfully curated and posted for each of their clients; one user having recently achieved 1 million views on TikTok within one week after not having much success on the platform before. By the end of the month that new content creator had 3 million views! Another entrepreneur based in Australia was unable to get more than 396% increase with views on her business page since working with Coach T. 

These results are not by accident. Coach T and the Flow Agency  have mastered the exact blueprint for creating content that goes viral and generates sales. “By speaking to the pains of our client’s audience and doing it in an immersive and organic way, we are able to turn viewers into sales with zero ad spend!”

This excellent invention is available to everyone interested. “The cool thing is it doesn’t matter what type of business you’re in, it’s built to inject 7 figures in any business model,” states Taylor Francois Bodine. “We’ve seen it do as much as seven figures plus. We teach it in the organic marketing playbook that walks our clients through creating and posting their content, building out their backend funnell, and ultimately – increasing their revenue.”

Get Connected Now
The Done For You TikTok and Reels program  is simple and accessible. It  can be a catalyst for growth and a way for any business to get started or scale. With years of testing and implication, the service is now being offered to the public on a selective basis.

The Gritty City Bard: Bright Kelly Releases New EP ‘The Quiet Ones’

NY Weekly Staff on February 15, 2023

Philadelphia, PA – Indie/alternative artist Bright Kelly announces the release of his latest EP, “The Quiet Ones”, set for February 15. With his brooding features and husky voice, Bright Kelly has been compared to The Gaslight Anthem, Bruce Springsteen, John Prine, and Hozier, but his sound is distinctive, rooted in soul and folk traditions. As the frontman of The Great Enough, he has performed with Imagine Dragons, Wallflowers, Atlas Genius, and others, while as a solo artist, he has established himself as one of the indie scene’s most lyrical storytellers.

The Quiet Ones is a minimalist album, recorded with sparse orchestration, that showcases Bright Kelly’s talents as a songwriter. The melancholic “Shake Til the Fever is Gone” and the confessional “I Wish You the Best” deal with themes of loss and grief, while “Apocalypse Driving” is a sardonic take on prepping for the end of the world. Despite the heavy themes, the album is defined by a spark of optimism.

A limited number of signed, special-edition cassettes have been produced and 47 remain at the time of this release. The Quiet Ones is available on all streaming services, and Bright Kelly is encouraging fans to connect with him on social media and to support him through his Patreon and merchandise.

“I’ve seen a lot of talented people fall away, but that’s not a choice I’ve ever been able to make. I live, breathe, sweat, and bleed the songs and stories I create,” says Bright Kelly. “I hope everyone gets something from experiencing my music, but I am mostly looking for real fans.”

The album’s singles, “Shake Til the Fever is Gone” and “Apocalypse Driving”, both have accompanying music videos on Bright Kelly’s YouTube channel.

The Next Best Thing in Automation: Accessible Business Plans by Andreas Feofanov

NY Weekly Staff on February 15, 2023

Feo.finance is a start-up currently based in Germany but offers services internationally. Its no-formula solution and integrated templates that do risk analyses, management accounting and business plan presentations have changed the face of business growth and potential— and the world of automation as a whole.

Once in a blue moon, there comes along a company that changes everything— revolutionizing their industry through not only their ground-breaking entrepreneurship but also their ability to meet the needs of their industry, in real-time.

Finance entrepreneur and CEO of Feo, Andreas Feofanov, raises this bar to a new level— scaling his startup to not just carve an original space in its sector, but push automation to a more meaningful purpose: driving accessibility. 

The Big Secret of Financial Models 

For over a decade, Feofanov had worked with companies on their financial back-end, developing business plan templates and financial modeling examples through excel. These models would include data that measured a business’s success, factoring in expenses, capital, assets, employees hired and the projection of success in the future. 

The catch?

These business models would sell for thousands of dollars. And if you went to a larger and more famous company to get a financial model for your business, you might end up spending 10-20 thousand dollars. To this end, while major consulting companies are indeed helpful in their other services, the financial models and Excel calculators they are selling can leave a dent in the wallet. 

And the truth? 

“These models that are costing business owners thousands of dollars are all the same,” Feofanov revealed. “Businesses think they are buying these personalized business models when in reality, they have been created already in excel for other businesses a long time ago—with the formulas, the new business’s numbers are plugged in and there indeed is the model the person is buying.”

A Quest for Justice 

After many years of developing such models, Feofanov began to feel more and more just how unfair the current financial model system was. 

New business owners already had so much on their plate— and plenty of expenses— that spending thousands on used models felt like a pain point the financial industry needed to correct. 

Two years ago, he decided to do something about it: and so, he created his very own start-up, feo.finance. 

This business is all about making business models and business plan templates accessible to the public for the price that is both affordable and realistic. With the cheapest plan selling for $15 a month, business owners who want to set their brand up with financial success and strategic business acumen can finally do so, and for a price that doesn’t dent their wallets. 

“How Feo works is that you can go to our site, pick your industry and business type— like a café or hotel for example— and you will be taken to a browser with a ready finance model in excel,” Feofanov explained. “You can go in and change the numbers that you need in this file like the details of your assets, expenses, cashflow, hiring process, etc. and our program subsequently draws out the results based on your personal data.” 

Also shown on the website, the program specifically operates by the input of technical data, capital costs, operational costs, revenue, financing and macro indicators. Once these are typed in, the results are revealed, including cash flow statements, balance sheets, as well as recommendations and risks. 

And the automation doesn’t stop there: these financial models are able to be exported and sent to others as well as presented to investors and stakeholders. It doesn’t matter whether the business owner is in Japan, China, Germany, the United States or Australia, and it doesn’t matter the currency the business owner operates with— all models are customized to industry, country and language as needed. 

“For too long, companies have been charging larger than life sums of money for financial models, allowing only the top 1% of business owners to successfully plan their corporation and its trajectory,” Feofanov said passionately. “With Feo, we want to open the door for all to be able to plan their business, know the financial health of their business and know when they’ll be breaking even— we want to offer to the public the well-deserved accessibility to success.”

The Best That Automation Has to Offer

Feo.finance offers business plan templates for over 100 businesses ranging from food industries to retail to entertainment to real estate and more.

Similar to the automation of companies like Wix and Canva, Feo has streamlined the ability for a business owner to know the details of his business and even see what is recommended, given his or her current capital and operating numbers.

And the models aren’t just for the CEO’s or investors’ peace of mind— it’s also necessary in order for the bank to grant a certain line of credit for the business.

In the United States, for example, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and summarized by Entrepreneur, “approximately 20 percent of small businesses fail within the first year and by the end of the second year, 30 percent of businesses will have failed— by the end of the fifth year, about half will have failed and by the end of the decade, only 30 percent of businesses will remain [which is] a 70 percent failure rate.”

Banks aren’t keen on handing out credit to every new business with an idea— so Feo is here to help companies prove their worth.

“In order to get the necessary credit to build your business, a business owner will want these financial models and business plans that Feo automates,” Feofanov explained. “Banks demand these drawn-out numbers because they know themselves that data says it all; they won’t give credit to businesses that won’t prove they’ll make it.”

And that’s the key to Feo: its business model canvas uses the inputted data to make recommendations and share reservations. If it sees that a company’s numbers show they’re heading towards bankruptcy in the future, it will offer an industry, sector or business type perhaps in a different city that works better.

In this way, Feo warns investors from bad investments and keeps CEO’s from opening businesses that will fail. Better yet, once the numbers are all crunched, and the I’s are dotted/t’s are crossed, the app is able to offer management accounting, where the next steps and future growth is all laid out in a business plan example.

The Net-Net

All the aforementioned features are ultimately what make Feo stand out in the world of start-ups, entrepreneurship and finance. It can take one person years to have the financial expertise, the corporate background and the excel skills to develop these automative, proactive and insightful finance models that exist in two minutes when downloaded from Feo.

The traditional approach to financial modeling has been complicated, time-consuming and costly. And when they get too costly, business owners have been left out in the cold, making financial decisions that can lead to incorrect financial planning, business failure or a bank’s rejection to a line of credit request.

Now, Feofanov and his team of financial, start-up experts have revolutionized financial health planning and understanding, allowing businesses from all over the world, in any industry, to really forecast their cash flow, break-even points and revenue-building.

“We all deserve to have access to the building blocks that foster a business’s potential,” Feofanov said, smiling. “I want Feo to be the reason a business owner is able to make their dreams come true.”

How Entrepreneur Chardé Hollins is Making Hard Conversations Easy in the Corporate and Educational Space

NY Weekly Staff on February 15, 2023

Diversity and inclusion is the topic of the day, but that doesn’t mean the conversation comes easily. When the subject is broached, people inevitably struggle with whether to feel awkward, whether they are qualified to speak, and whether topics are politically incorrect or insensitive. Chardé Hollins, founder and CEO of Relevant Connections, is on a mission to create safe spaces for these hard conversations. 

Relevant Connections is a consulting firm supporting organizations, non-profits, and educational institutions as they increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). “We create safe spaces for courageous conversations about diversity,” she says. “Changing a culture to support inclusivity for persons of color is never a simple task, but we have a strategy that works and a proven track record of results.”

The inspiration for Relevant Connections

As a licensed clinical social worker, Hollins spent over a decade working with justice-involved youth and trauma-affected communities. Her background in social work has taken her into schools, the healthcare system, and corrections as an advocate for society’s most vulnerable populations. Eventually, she felt a call to use her training and career experience in a new setting.

When asked why she left social work to found a consulting firm, Hollins says: “Simply put, I wanted to see black people win. As a licensed clinical social worker and grants manager, I constantly saw disproportionately low funds allocated to black agencies and a lack of culturally competent mental health services for the most vulnerable populations. The reason for this is multilayered and systemically oppressive at its core. I countered the barriers by using my skills to support organizations committed to equity. I start the conversations that cultivate anti-racist policies, secure funding, and increase access to competent care.”

Hollins drives impactful change by providing organizations with support and guidance during these difficult conversations. She helps them discuss integrating cultural humility, mental health, and inclusive policies into the very fiber of their customs, services, and missions. Her team educates, connects, and empowers organizations on the path toward transformation. After the conversations, Relevant Connections follows up with project-based support to ensure training and plans remain in action. 

Many things make it difficult for organizations and institutions to discuss DEI. Some people feel they don’t know enough about the topic, and some worry about saying the wrong thing. “When you’re working in a diverse environment, it can be hard to know what to say and how,” Hollins observes. “We take the lead and set the tone in the hard conversations. We show people how to step out of their comfort zones, how to ask questions, how to recognize their own unconscious biases, how to avoid assumptions, and how to find solutions.”  

How Relevant Connections creates safe spaces for difficult conversations

Hollins’s strategic approach sets up a safe space for everyone as the organization evaluates its inclusion practices and increases its cultural competence. Conversations about DEI are never easy, but she empowers everyone in the room to step out of their comfort zones, ask questions, and share experiences. The goal of the conversation is not to assign blame or even to address the problem; it is to bring people together.

“Facts do not drive change — conscience does,” explains Hollins. “Most experts focus on the problem with their main speaking points. The details they share to support their message only highlight disparities and injustices. I choose instead to utilize my clinical background to center the audience’s lived experiences and how the problem may impact them.”

In Hollins’s opinion, focusing on the problem has two primary disadvantages. First, it prompts a natural human instinct to prioritize self. Second, it establishes an understanding that this problem is and will continue to be awkward. Neither of these outcomes is a catalyst for honest and meaningful conversation as the problem will continue to be bigger than oneself. 

Instead of focusing on the problem, Hollins focuses on empowering the audience to move toward a solution. Throughout the conversation, she defines key terms, offers examples for clarity, and sets reasonable expectations for engagement from the attendees. She acknowledges the audience’s readiness levels, commends each level, and encourages them to progress. Finally, she organically models authenticity and self-reflection throughout the presentation, providing an example that participants can mirror.

According to Hollins, addressing DEI without understanding the influence it has on mental health is counterproductive because the two are significantly intertwined. Once attendees become aware of this, their conscience becomes awakened and their willingness to engage  and drive change increases. This is what makes her approach unique and grants her the ability to thrive in creating safe spaces and delivering results.

“When you only speak to the problem, people become overwhelmed at the enormity of the change needed and shut down,” says Hollins. “Similar to therapy, we never give power to the problem; instead, we acknowledge its presence, then empower the attendee to produce and utilize solutions.”

In the safe spaces Hollins creates, participants are free to own their emotions, ask questions, and learn from one another. “We all come together with different experiences and perspectives on this topic, and that’s okay,” she says. “The important thing is that we continue to come together to talk and implement meaningful strategies until we find the solutions that make our businesses, schools, and world a more equitable place for everyone.”

Tina’s Vodka Helps Farmers Return to Non-GMO Farming

NY Weekly Staff on February 15, 2023

Who would have thought that drinking a delicious vodka could make a positive difference in the world? With Tina’s Vodka, that’s exactly what vodka connoisseurs can do.

Tina’s Vodka is a new organic vodka made in America and sold at a reasonable price. “We only use non-GMO organic corn, and we distill it up to six times using a proprietary filtration that involves organic coconut shells,” said Tina Karras, founder of Tina’s Vodka. “There are only two ingredients in our vodka: purified water and spirit from organic corn.”

The problem with GMOs

According to Karras, the majority of vodkas made in the US rely on GMO grains that were sprayed with glyphosate.. After the distillation process, some also include additives and sugars derived from GMO sources.

What’s wrong with GMOs? “Lots of things,” Karras said. “First of all, GMO crops continue the use of toxic pesticides in our food chain, which depletes the soil and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I also think it’s important to educate everyone on what GMOs are. The crops’ DNA was modified to accommodate the pesticide — not the other way around.”

According to Farm Aid, a nonprofit that supports family farming and fair agricultural policy, GMOs have also led to pesticide- and herbicide-resistant “superpests” and “superweeds.” In addition, they have reduced the biodiversity of the food supply, increasing the risk of catastrophic crop failure and subsequent famine.  

Karras’s commitment to non-GMO farming goes well beyond the high-quality organic ingredients in Tina’s Vodka, however. She has dedicated herself and her company to helping heal the Earth through regenerative agriculture.

Regenerative agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that calls back to the industry’s early days, before Big Agriculture separated livestock from crops and began using pesticides. Whereas conventional farming leeches nutrients out of the ground and gradually diminishes them over time, regenerative agriculture nourishes the soil and restores its productivity.

If that wasn’t already argument enough for the importance of regenerative agriculture, this farming method actually pulls carbon dioxide out of the air and stores it in the soil. In this way, an industry that has long contributed to global warming and climate change can lead the ecological revolution, transforming fields into carbon sinks.

Karras learned about regenerative agriculture from watching the Netflix documentary “Kiss the Ground” (2020), which has inspired an entire grassroots movement. Soon afterward, she decided to make her business an official partner of the Kiss the Ground organization.

Partnering with Kiss the Ground

When Tina’s Vodka donated 10 percent of sales to Kiss the Ground in 2022, people asked Karras why she gave away such a large slice of her profits. The answer is that her priorities have more to do with a healthy planet than with making a buck. “Our future and our health are the most important things to me,” she explained.

Karras spreads that message as widely as possible, routinely showing the movie’s trailer on sales calls, at staff training sessions, and during tastings. The most rewarding part of partnering with Kiss the Ground, she said, is “sharing the new climate story and seeing the signs of relief from everyone” who sees the trailer.

Relief is a natural reaction. The trailer might only last a little over two minutes, but it packs a big punch. The opening frames show various scenes of devastation related to climate change: smoke belching out of smokestacks, ice shearing off of glaciers, a hurricane blowing trees over, and a fire raging through a forest.

“The truth is, I’ve given up,” narrator Woody Harrelson says.

But while other documentaries on this subject tend to leave viewers disheartened and dejected, the trailer for “Kiss the Ground” promises a different experience. “This is the story of a simple solution, a way to heal our planet,” Harrelson continues.

“To cure our climate, we need to cure our soil,” the trailer reads. It then goes on to explain biosequestration, which is the process of capturing carbon from the air and storing it in plants, trees, and the ground.

By scaling up these biosequestration methods, more and more carbon may be pulled from the sky, where it does only harm, and put back into the earth, where it contributes to fertile farm fields. “We know how to do it,” a source explains. “Over 30 years, we can reverse global warming.”

“I’ll make you a deal,” Harrelson concludes the trailer. “I won’t give up, and neither should you.”

Future plans to support non-GMO farming

Karras’s vision extends beyond donating proceeds to Kiss the Ground. “My dream is to use Tina’s Vodka funds for farmers so we can help them buy no-till plows and other tools they need to convert their crops away from pesticide-laden GMOs to regenerative, organic, non-GMO crops,” she said.

This idea also came to her while watching the documentary. “They have a powerful visual of the CO2 released into the atmosphere during tilling season, and they contrast that with another powerful visual during the harvesting season,” she said.

No-till plows avoid churning up the soil and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere while making farming easier and more practical. “The no-till plows keep the CO2 in the ground where it belongs so it can nourish the ground,” Karras explained. “The intelligence of our planet takes over and sends the nutrients where they need to go underneath the soil.” 

These plows are expensive, however. “A new no-til plow can cost $50,000 and refurbished ones go for about $35,000,” she said. “The more vodka I sell, the sooner I can make these purchases.” Toward this end, she is expanding sales of Tina’s Vodka into Massachusetts and North Carolina.

Consumers can do their part to help Tina’s Vodka fulfill this mission. “Buying brands like my vodka supports the farmers who are farming in cooperation with the planet instead of poisoning it,” Karras explained.

For a brighter, healthier future, choose Tina’s Vodka.

How Sean Rakidzich Became the Leading Short-Term Rental Educator on YouTube

NY Weekly Staff on February 15, 2023

The potential of the gig economy is huge. The opportunity to bring in extra cash to supplement, or supplant, your regular income has become massively popular over the last 15 years and only grew bigger during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it seemed almost everyone was looking to make bank on a side hustle or personal passion project.

The trend of renting out your time, skills, or home has become so lucrative that many entrepreneurs have quit their day jobs and transformed the side gig into a vocation and their main revenue stream.

However, the last year has seen the media awash with stories of a downturn in the gig market, with Airbnb hosts, in particular, being hit by stormy conditions that have had a huge impact on their profits.

Ongoing, Long-Term Success

Sean Rakidzich is a premier thought leader of the short-term rental economy, who also serves as the host of a titular YouTube Channel (formerly called Airbnb Automated). He has, most recently, been creating content to help fellow Airbnb-ers through this period of uncertainty. 

Making use of his personal experience on the short-term rental platform, Rakidzich is the ideal influencer to advise his contemporaries on how to survive the Airbnb recession, and alterations in algorithms, and create strategies for ongoing, long-term success.

For nearly a decade, Rakidzich has been at the forefront of the Airbnb and short-term rental entrepreneur space, building a portfolio of 155 properties in eight different cities in the U.S., while making more than $10 million in revenue along the way. In fact, he is so successful that he took off all of 2021 after fully automating his STR (short-term rental) business.

Open and Honest

Yet it is not just his remarkable success that makes Rakidzich so impressive as an influencer in the STR space; it is his refreshing openness and honesty about his problems, both personal and in business.

To say that Rakidzich’s formative years were problematic is an understatement. Both his mother and father were abusive alcoholics who were often violent toward their son. To make matters worse, his parents divorced when he was just eight years old. A decade later, when his mother lost custody of her children to the state because of abuse, his younger brother was placed with a foster family, separating the close siblings and causing trauma to the future entrepreneur. 

Addressing these issues and his long struggle with undiagnosed ADHD, one video on his YouTube channel explores the difficulties he faced in childhood, how they affected his character, and why they have actually been a positive force in his life.

But he’s always had a knack for making money and taking care of himself. 

“Immediately after I graduated from high school, I was selling newspaper subscriptions,” explained Rakidzich. “And my ability to read people’s mannerisms, their tone of voice, and the ability to use my own reassuring facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice to influence them into a sense of comfort — the type of soft skills that aren’t easily trained — came from my need to survive as a kid.” 

The video goes on to describe how viewers can use their own “underdog stories” to their advantage and make it, and as Rakidzich says, “A catalyst to writing your own playbook to become rich, famous, and happy.”

AirbnBust

More recent videos feature Rakidzich’s forthright approach to examining the Airbnb recession. 

Across the world, Airbnb hosts, supported by market data, have reported a stark drop in occupancy. This shortfall has been attributed to several different factors, including a surge in the number of properties, an increase in prices across the board, and a slowdown in bookings following the bounceback after lockdown when people were desperate to travel.

With his customary honesty, Rakidzich discusses the lull in STR bookings and how to ride it out. This content doesn’t hold back. Videos with titles such as, ‘Airbnbust: How I’m Fighting Back,’ ‘Your Failing Business. It’s Your Fault,’ and ‘You Deserve to Fail,’ all offer a no-holds-barred view of the current climate and explain how hosts can boost their bookings by making their properties more attractive in an overpriced and saturated market.

Additionally, his video, ‘Airbnbust Will Destroy 90% Of Hosts,’ goes as far as calling out the type of STR business person who will suffer the most during the Airbnb slowdown.

“There are three types of hosts getting crushed right now in the Airbnbust,” he stated. “First, those that don’t have the guts to run their business the way it must be run in a hard situation. Second, those with too much pride or ego to do what has to be done due to entitlement. And third, those that are just so new to the space that they didn’t know there was content that could help them run an Airbnb business.”

From there, Rakidzich outlines what they must do to turn their fortunes around and become one of the 10% who are successful.

If you want to make the most of your STR business, even in hard times, Rakidzich has the insight that will give you the edge you need to not just survive but thrive.

About Sean Rakidzich

With over $10 million in revenue generated as an Airbnb host, Sean Rakidzich (previously of Airbnb Automated) is the leading expert, entrepreneur and influencer in short-term rental education and operations on the Internet. He will soon be expanding his teachings beyond just Airbnb to include Peerspace, Turo, VRBO, Booking.com, and more. For more information, please visit www.rakidzich.com/
