NY Entrepreneur Creates Luhv+ App To Uplift Young Professionals

NY Weekly Staff on August 16, 2022

Is Luhv all you need? Maybe so! 

Of all the innovations born during the pandemic, none may be as unique as Luhv +, the brainchild of Shaun Crumméy, aka Coach Cru. Currently in its beta phase, Luhv + — according to its website — positions itself as a “High Level Personal & Business Development and Community Platform For Creatives, Entrepreneurs and Career Professionals to Reach Their Full Potential.” 

Inspired by athletes, musicians, entrepreneurs and other influencers, the New York native has already built one of the most unique places on the Internet. 

“Professionals need places to practice their crafts and skills with other individuals,” Crumméy says. “Luhv + is that place where you can communicate, learn, share, discover and grow — a safe, fun space to help you to push past your current limitations and create the life you’ve always wanted.”

More productivity

Luhv + is targeting career professionals and new entrepreneurs who are transitioning into either new executive roles in the corporate world or full-time entrepreneurship. The goal, according to Crumméy, is to enable them to become more effective in less time by developing both personally and professionally. 

“In short,” he says, “this app offers business development opportunities through personal development.”

His timing could not be better. The Covid pandemic revealed Americans’ latent desire to make more money and have more free time. A record number of new businesses were registered in 2021, the same year that The Great Resignation began. Since then, over 4 million Americans have quit their jobs every month to pursue something more professionally rewarding, more flexible, or both.

“We know that we need to be more productive,” Crumméy says. “And we can all agree that there is another level that we can get to, but it’s hard to get started and even harder to stay on track.”

Activate

According to Crumméy, a certified life coach, most people never become truly productive because they do not have a system in place to hold themselves accountable in their new endeavors. “I’ve learned that without accountability, no one will ever achieve their goals or their dreams,” he says. “With so much going on these days, it can be hard to find the time to keep yourself accountable and consistent.” 

Luhv + was conceived as an innovative solution to this conundrum. The app has a built-in system for enabling both accountability and productivity. This includes “mini courses” or challenges that give users the practice needed to overcome limitations and, per Crumméy, “build the skills you need to become successful in life.” 

“The Luhv + Challenges are amazing because they are scientifically designed to help you push past your current limitations, set goals, and track your progress in real time,” he adds. 

The platform also features a calendar where community members can book one-on-one calls for more personal coaching and customize strategies for aligning what they want in their world. Crumméy has also developed study materials that gives tangible guidance and actionable information. There is also a group tab where members can interact with others who are a part of the community and who have also participated in the challenges, as well as a daily affirmation group. 

However, Crumméy stresses that Luvh + is not one-size-fits-all. Users can join a group or create a brand new one suited to their needs. “This is the perfect way to communicate with your team,” he says.

His Platform

As a consultant and coach, Crumméy has helped to build company culture and develop leaders for years. His specialty was creating alignment by helping people identify and achieve their personal goals, then teaching them how to cope with the issues that are holding them back due to anxiety, stress and or fear. During the Covid lockdowns, these anxieties exploded, subsequently alienating billions of people from their work and social networks. The potential for mass paralysis was real. Instead, virtual platforms like Luvh + have emerged.

In many ways, Crumméy was inspired by creating positive change from the negative emotions unleashed by the pandemic. “Personally, I believe in genuine support for others and their journeys,” he says. “I have gratitude for the progress and success of the people who choose to work and discover with me, as we look forward to a beautiful journey living a fruitful life with freedom, wealth, love, healing, great health, deep inner connection, and positive energy vibrations — all in abundance.”

As for his own latest journey, Crumméy says: “Luvh + is where the future meets the present.” 

Fathom Leverages Deep Learning Technology to Give Medical Coders the Gift of Time

NY Weekly Staff on August 15, 2022

Medical coders work on hundreds of encounters in an average day, dedicating thousands of hours each year to manage their workload quickly and accurately. That amount only increases when factoring in training hours to respond to industry changes and updated provider and insurance guidelines each year.

At Fathom, they have created a technology platform that will not only return valuable time to medical coders but will also empower them to focus on higher-value work, doing the heavy lifting by fully automating daily coding tasks like coding an encounter straight to bill. However, with any advance in technology comes the natural fear that the right automated system will replace human operators, leaving them without a career as technology advances forward.

As VP of Commercial Operations Amit Jayakar explains, Fathom is the rare technology that does not replace human operation but enhances it – which means medical coders will be equipped with the tools to perform their jobs more effectively than ever before.

“Let’s say that in an average day a coder looks at 100 encounters as part of their regular productivity, but in those 100 encounters there are maybe 8 of them that are really complicated and important, the stuff that gets denied by insurance companies and is a reimbursement and revenue risk to the organization,” Jayakar says.

“Right now, they don’t have the bandwidth to properly investigate those 8 encounters because they have 92 other encounters that they have to code. With our models, Fathom can handle the ‘legwork’ by autonomously fully coding the majority of the 92 encounters so that human coders can shift their focus on more important, higher-risk work.”

Fathom uses deep learning technology and a massive database of hundreds of millions of data points to automate the coding process for the largest outpatient services – including emergency medicine, radiology, and primary care. By leveraging Fathom’s technology on simple, everyday encounters, medical coders will be free to focus on the work that requires their experience and expertise. It also means that they will not lose valuable work time on retraining when there are changes to industry guidelines. Fathom automatically updates the platform based on the most recent guidance from insurance payers and healthcare sites – the equivalent of instantly training an entire workforce of thousands.

“When something gets updated, it rolls across the entire system, so it is being applied across the board for every applicable encounter,” Jayakar says.

When human coders are empowered to spend more time on high-value work, they are not the only ones to benefit. The organization itself will see a greater return when they can free their workforce to focus on the most important evaluations. Coders who do not have to spend time on tedious, time-consuming coding tasks will now have the ability to focus on projects that generate massive returns for the healthcare provider.

“One of the largest issues in medical billing is submitting a charge and it gets denied by insurance companies, and then you have this constant back-and-forth about how it should be paid,” Jayakar says. “If you can have a coder manage audits and denials more actively, you can reduce any reimbursement revenue risks.”

Reallocating resources will not mean eliminating the workforce but instead placing them in a position where they can more effectively help the organization. And when this happens, the healthcare provider will generate impressive returns.

“In any given year, when claims are denied, you might collect 60 cents on the dollar for that bill,” Jayakar says. “If you actively manage that, you can increase it to 75 or 80 cents on the dollar. So the end goal is that you increase the return on your investment.”

As Fathom continues to share its deep learning technology with healthcare providers nationwide, they recognize that there are still some doubts to overcome. But one primary concern – that Fathom will replace human coders – is unfounded. Instead, the revolutionary tech company is working in connection with the workforce, enabling them to perform their jobs more effectively by giving them the time they need most.

“At Fathom, we don’t replace coders,” Jayakar says. “We empower them.”

How Technology is Enabling Families to Build a Plant-Based Life – Meet PlantX

NY Weekly Staff on August 8, 2022

Plant Based. Pixabay

A recent study showed that between 2004 and 2019, there was a 30-fold increase in the number of vegans in the United States, skyrocketing from 290,000 to nearly 10 million. This rapid acceleration toward plant-based lifestyles had a slow start. 15 years ago, it was hard to convince people that leading a plant-based lifestyle was doable; so many cultures and countries around the world centered meat and animal products in their eating habits, but with the rise of technology, being plant-based has gotten easier than ever.

Understanding the Role of Technology in the Rise of Plant-Based Lifestyles

Technology has played a massive role in changing the way plant-based lifestyle is seen and understood, but it has also played a role in making it more accessible. With new technologies in the food and beverage industry, creating plant-based meat and dairy alternatives is much more feasible and profitable for companies in that industry. 

In 2020, plant-based meat and dairy sales hit $29 billion, but by 2030, those sales are expected to reach $162 billion. The rise in production and consumption of these products wouldn’t have happened without technological advances.

Technology also played a major role in how plant-based lifestyles were perceived, understood, and accepted. 20 years ago, vegans were seen as “weird, granola hippies” and many people simply could not understand their lifestyle. Now, there are major celebrities, athletes, and influencers who lead plant-based lifestyles. Their ability to share on social media and make plant-based living more widely accepted is thanks to technological advancements like social media.

How Technology Continues to Enable Lifestyle Changes

The work is far from over, however. There is still so much growth expected in the industry, and so much to be done in terms of normalizing plant-based lifestyles while ensuring they are affordable and accessible. Plant-based individuals still cannot be sure that they’ll have many options when dining out or shopping in smaller towns all over the world. Plant-based living is easy in cities where health-food stores are abundant and always stocked with new products, but those products don’t reach every corner of the US, Canada, or other developed nations.

Society needs a holistic approach to plant-based living. It has to be accessible in grocery stores, on the move, at your home, and more. Further, the education for this lifestyle can’t only exist in long books, online forums, and blogs. Technology is one of the major tools humanity has to encourage plant-based living and battle the negative aspects of our animal-centric current state.

PlantX is the Technology Infrastructure We’ve Been Waiting For

Realizing that to fight a multi-faceted and complex problem, such as the meat and dairy industry, PlantX is leading the charge with a holistic approach to plant-based living. Through their dynamic brand and product offerings, PlantX makes it easier for anyone to understand the benefits of plant-based living, access the right foods, and gain health and wellness in all aspects of their lives. Here are some of the most critical components of the PlantX brand that are changing the landscape for plant-based living:

Online Marketplace

Offering heaps of plant-based products in an “Amazon-style” e-commerce platform, PlantX makes getting vegan food easier than ever. Instead of rushing around the five different stores in your area, simply place an order and wait in the comfort of your own home. In some major cities, the PlantX marketplace offers same-day delivery, which is expected to expand even further. Product offerings will go beyond food, too, making it the perfect place to find vegan beauty products, wellness products, and sustainable household items.

PlantX App

To enhance the shopping process even further, PlantX employed a mobile application approach, bringing their offerings to the spot most accessible – your phone! On the app, you can order food from the marketplace, find recipes, and interact with a community of other plant-based people. Think of it like an e-commerce, cooking, and social media application all wrapped into one.

XFitness 

Plant-based living is so much more than just a diet change; it’s a lifestyle change. With a solid plant-based lifestyle, you can experience massive health benefits, but PlantX is taking those health benefits to the next level. Branching into the fitness space, XFitness makes it easier than ever to get a quick workout in. With many live and on-demand classes, users can find what fits their needs best.

Technology is a Tool; PlantX is Using It

The road ahead to a plant-based world is filled with many challenges and obstacles, but through the smart use of technology, those challenges melt away. Recent history has shown the power of people, technology, and an idea, and PlantX will continue to use technology to propel the plant-based lifestyle. 

Looking ahead, PlantX seems like a promising company. As they disrupt the growing plant-based industry, we can expect to see substantial growth of their brand. In fact, Capital-Y, a New York based hedge fund recently released a report giving PlantX stock (CSE: VEGA) a 12X price target. Given this, investors would be well served keeping their eye on this stock. 

Drivyn Provides Tesla-Driving Expertise 

NY Weekly Staff on August 2, 2022

Reports of accidents with autonomous driving cars have made headlines ever since vehicles with self-driving features have hit dealerships. However, contrary to what people may believe from reading provocative headlines, autonomous vehicles are much safer overall than their driver-operated counterparts. While the technology is still in its infancy and being consistently improved upon, self-driving cars such as Teslas prove to be more reliable than the alternative time and again.

Teslas are quite different from regular vehicles — so much so, in fact, that those who purchase them may not immediately know how to best operate them or utilize all available features. When people purchase a Tesla, they are often given elementary operating instructions, typically just enough to get them on the road. With the level and amount of advanced features accompanying a Tesla, many feel the manufacturer-derived information falls short in covering everything a Tesla can do. To combat the issue of insufficient information, a litany of YouTube tutorials and “support groups” have been formed to enable Tesla owners to work through their questions about the vehicle and share information with other Tesla owners.

This call for information has inspired the team at Drivyn to develop an app that connects Tesla owners with local experts. These advisors are ready to personally meet with Tesla owners and teach them a curriculum based on the Tesla driving technology. “There are educational programs to teach people how to drive standard vehicles,” says Dr. Sam Rabinowitz, CEO of Drivyn, “so why wouldn’t there be a program teaching people how to use the Tesla Autopilot feature?” Like Drivers Ed classes, the hands-on instructors at Drivyn help Tesla owners wrap their heads around their new vehicle’s complex technology. 

While the user interface within a Tesla is relatively intuitive, using a trial-and-error approach with the various features as one drives is never the best (or safest) way to learn how to drive your car. An experienced instructor can help Tesla drivers get on the road faster and in a safer manner. 

“Nobody knows Tesla vehicles better than the people who drive them,” says Dr. Rabinowitz. “We have found that many Tesla owners love their vehicles and want to help other people love their Teslas, too.” 

It’s this idea that “drives” the Drivyn platform. The app’s ingenuity can be found in its ability to match drivers seeking to learn with those who want to teach and spread the love they have for their vehicles. Drivyn’s peer-to-peer marketplace allows drivers to find instructors that are best suited to guide them through their Tesla ownership journey. 

Uplevel Your Driving Performance 

Recently, Tesla introduced a Safety Score Metric, which takes stock of a driver’s safe driving behavior based on five metrics they call Safety Factors. Introducing this metric has made experienced driving instructors more necessary than ever before. In some states where Tesla offers its in-house car insurance, a driver’s Safety Score can seriously affect the cost of their premiums. During the beginning course, Drivyn guarantees that drivers will see a notable improvement in their Tesla Safety Score upon completion of the curriculum. Drivyn has also put this guarantee into place for their advanced courses. 

The Drivyn curriculum is not specific to just new Tesla drivers, however. The company’s performance division caters to experienced drivers seeking to maximize their driving performance. “If there’s one thing I know, it’s that there is always more to learn,” says O.G. Arabian Prince, musician, entrepreneur, co-founder of MdDAO, and recently-appointed CEO of Drivyn Performance. “Knowing more about your vehicle’s performance will not only make you a safer driver, but also make your Tesla experience that much more enjoyable.”

Disruption and Innovation at the Largest Tesla Owner’s Conference 

The largest conference for Tesla Owners is the Tesla Owner’s California Takeover, slated to take place in San Luis Obispo on August 6, 2022. Dr. Rabinowitz and Arabian Prince are scheduled to speak at the event, bringing their disruptive new service to Tesla owners worldwide in an opportunity for more drivers to join the tight-knit Tesla community. “That is what we are all about at Drivyn: tapping into the sense of community among Tesla owners and forming an even greater connection between people and their vehicles,” Dr. Rabinowitz says. 

The two leaders will conduct sessions on how Tesla drivers can best take advantage of all the technological advancements the vehicles can offer. Dr. Rabinowitz and Arabian Price will share how the Drivyn curriculum is designed to help drivers understand their cars and everything they are capable of. 

Dr. Rabinowitz and Arabian Prince are also excited to have the opportunity at the Tesla Owner’s California Takeover to unveil Drivyn Performance DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization. Through Drivyn Performance, Dr. Rabinowitz and Arabian Price invite owners to register for the “Car Control Clinic” and become a member of the DAO, which is building the world’s first ever all-electric, carbon-neutral Raceway — including an exclusive Raceway Club, Metaverse racetrack, and the first-of-a-kind simulator.

Teslas are only growing in popularity; it is estimated that over 4 million people will be driving Teslas by the end of 2022. Numbers like these make the demand for qualified, experienced instructions even greater. As demand and supply continue to work together within the Tesla market, the need for Drivyn’s app stands only to grow. 

“Teslas are among the best vehicles on the market right now,” says Dr. Rabinowitz. “What good is it to own such a fine piece of automotive technology if you aren’t going to use it to its fullest capabilities? We hope to be able to empower Tesla owners to make the best use of their vehicles.”

IN CONVERSATION WITH SOCIAL ACTIVIST: BERTO BOLIGAN

NY Weekly Staff on July 28, 2022

About Boligan Foundation

Boligan Foundation is focused on providing support and resources to children in third world countries regarding technology. As the digital era is taking over there are still some places where education about the current technology trends is rarely provided, and the foundations aims to change that.

What was the motivation to start Boligan Foundation?

As someone who was raised by a single mother, I saw her struggle to provide for us and I knew I had to change things around. I worked and made my dream lifestyle a reality. I believe it is time I repaid these blessings of God by helping others who are unprivileged. And I think in this age the knowledge and know-how of technology can help one to make a career for themselves.

What was the purpose to start this foundation?

The purpose is simple, to provide resources for the unprivileged people in third world countries to be able to support themselves with the help of technology. Maximizing the use of technology is another purpose I started off with this foundation. I believe everyone should be given equal opportunities and that is why this foundation came into being.

Don’t you think famine is a greater problem than tech adaptation which needs to be solved?

It surely is but I do have a theory. If I make them capable enough to understand technology and its uses, then I am sure they can learn to make earnings for themselves with the help of technology. One example is also how we are focusing towards Esports in Asia where there are many skilled gamers, but they don’t know how to join the platform or make a career out of this. We aim to help and guide them.

How do you manage to take out time between business and your foundation? Must be really “hectic”?

It does get hectic sometimes but as I have struggled a lot to reach where I am, I quite enjoy my work be it my business or the foundation. My business itself is also a great help for me in funding the foundation taking it forward.

Any messages you would want to give to the younger generation?

I just want to say never listen to what your family or friends are saying about you or your goals, at the end of the day you are what you believe yourself to be not what others define you to be. Your limits will be set by you and you can push them to reach your goals and no one can stop you.

F4F: Building America’s Future in Space

NY Weekly Staff on July 27, 2022

The launch of Sputnik in October 1957 initiated the Space Age, in which the realms beyond Earth’s atmosphere were opened for exploration. Some 60 years later a new space age was launched, in which those same extraterrestrial realms were opened for business.

This new space age, sometimes referred to as “Alt.Space” or “NewSpace,” is driven by private companies that are furthering the work that NASA and other government agencies began decades ago. They are developing new infrastructure and innovations that are being funded by — and for — a new space economy.

“We have found that a commercial infrastructure is a more efficient method of driving space-related industrial innovation and, more importantly, maintaining its momentum than the state systems of the old space race,” explains Tim Chrisman, Founder and CEO of Foundation for the Future (F4F). “It is already fueling progress toward lunar mining, new space stations, better launch methodologies, and more sophisticated space vehicle manufacturing.”

F4F is an education and advocacy non-profit that has come forward as a leading voice in the new space age. It is dedicated to advancing the space economy by fostering critical infrastructure to enable it, investment tools to finance it, and a workforce to power it. Its monthly Conversations For The Future events bring together influential and visionary speakers from all over the world to share a unique variety of space-related content and topics designed to educate, inspire, and plan for the future of space. In 2021, the events featured 171 high-profile speakers, 2,337 in-meeting attendees, and over 70,000 social media views.

Recent Conversations For The Future events have focused on topics including workforce development, space cybersecurity, and how space exploration promises to improve conditions on Earth. One of the initiatives that F4F is supporting is the creation of a public-private sector federally-chartered corporation for space infrastructure and enhancement of space-related projects. A bill known as the Space Public-Private Advanced Commercialization Enterprise (SPACE) Corporation Act, which sought early support in the halls of Congress in 2021, proposed such an entity.

“The SPACE Corporation would provide an avenue for commercial space investment, financing, and project development that does not currently exist,” Tim says. “With interest in space on the rise, we need the backbone to support that excitement and deliver on those increasing expectations. Right now, there is no bridge between the missions of NASA and the Space Force, and what private companies in the US are doing.”

The SPACE Corporation Act that F4F supports lays out a program for creating more than 2.6 million new jobs, generating nearly $160 billion in new economic activity, and increasing state and local tax revenue by more than $10 billion, all in its first decade.

The big players in the new space economy include SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic. Each has been successful in accomplishing space-related missions that previously only government agencies had attempted. Their ongoing accomplishments have led some to wonder if government programs are still necessary.

“It’s difficult for governments to keep justifying pouring taxpayer money into space exploration in a time when their citizens expect them to solve so many other problems on the ground,” says Tim. “There needs to be a better, more cost-effective way of realizing the benefits of space.”

Looking to the future, Tim believes F4F can best serve the development of the space economy by creating a pipeline of financial and workforce development policies that will propel the US space ecosystem forward.

“What is missing at this point is a long-term perspective,” explains Tim. “Too many people are taking a short-term view. With too many ambitious projects driven by short-term money, you get a lot of volatility. We’d like to see more long-term capital vehicles that can build reliable systems in support of a sustainable ecosystem that can stand the test of time.”

Those who want to join F4F on its mission of making space accessible to everyone can find more information on becoming a member at www.f4fspace.org.

The Launchpad is Leading the Tech Industry with Innovative Matchmaking Services

NY Weekly Staff on July 19, 2022

For businesses to compete in today’s world, having the right technology is essential. But with so many available tech solutions, it has become more difficult than ever for companies to research, identify, and engage the right IT vendors.

Thanks to The Launchpad, they no longer have to worry about finding the right tech solution. Because at The Launchpad, the work is done for them.

Led by CEO Tonya Turrell (recently named one of Orlando’s Women of the Year), The Launchpad serves as a tech matchmaker, seamlessly bridging the gap between IT buyers and sellers – a winning model for both sides. They recently announced the release of a new MQL subscription plan, which will make it even easier for companies and vendors to connect in meaningful ways.

The MQL subscription package is one of the newest offerings in a robust line of services offered by The Launchpad. For vendors, it means only connecting with companies that have already been thoroughly researched and have expressed needs that fit the vendors’ profile. For companies, it means finding exactly what they need, when they need it.

“For most companies in this marketplace, the MQLs that they are getting are not truly qualified leads. They might be someone who searched for a particular technology, or downloaded a whitepaper, or visited a booth at a trade show,” Turrell says. “Our MQL subscription is different. These are conversation-ready, qualified and loaded with purchase intent data to arm sales reps to best serve the needs of their customers.”

Where The Launchpad truly stands apart is their ability to match the right vendors to the companies that need them most. Because of their industry expertise and ability to invest considerable time and resources into researching both the company and the vendor, their matchmaking service delivers a connection that is guaranteed to provide value for both the buyer and the seller. The real value of their MQL subscription offering is consistency, predictability, and reduced risk.

“With this subscription, our clients are set up to receive a consistent and steady flow of leads,” Turrell explains. “Marketing can spend less time creating, building, and setting up campaigns and sales receives a high level of coaching and support related to the engagement of their MQLs.”

Clients also have predictability in lead flow, can easily increase or decrease lead flow as needed, and have more accurate forecasting with this subscription offering.

It has been a remarkable year for The Launchpad, which continues to emerge as the leading resource for tech matchmaking and IT solutions. They were recently certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council as a Women’s Business Enterprise. For 25 years, the WBENC has been the largest certifier of women’s businesses in the United States and a leading advocate for business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs.

In addition to their new subscription model, The Launchpad has several different programs that Turrell says will continue to help tech companies and IT solution providers.

“We are pivoting away from traditional appointment setting and lead generation for our tech clients and more toward partner recruitment, partner enablement, and recruiting channel partners. So, the value is exponential,” Turrell says. “We will soon be releasing a training subscription to help companies learn how to develop leads and nurture that relationship.”

With their transition into a more subscription-based model, The Launchpad will serve as an ongoing resource for vendors as well as businesses that want to improve their processes with technology. This will be welcome news to companies across the country that need tech solutions but don’t know where to turn for guidance and expertise.

For companies and vendors who are tired of scouring the digital landscape for the right partners, The Launchpad has a simple and effective solution. And the best tech matchmaker in the industry is only getting better.To learn more about The Launchpad, visit www.launchpad-tech.com.

Olamidotun Oluwagbohun Brings Along His Information Technology Expertise to Sovereign Light Technologies
