SIA Scotch Whisky to Support Entrepreneurs of Color in the Food, Beverage & Hospitality Industry with the Return of the Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund

SIA Scotch Whisky, an award-winning spirits brand founded by first-generation Hispanic entrepreneur Carin Luna-Ostaseski, is bringing back The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund by SIA Scotch for the second consecutive year. The groundbreaking initiative provides entrepreneurs of color with access to the capital and mentorship that will help them take action, build stronger companies and have a positive impact on their communities.

โ€

This year, the grant program will focus on growing businesses specifically within the brand's own world โ€“ the food, beverage, and hospitality sector. This space has been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, and its small business owners continue to face massive barriers, such as adapting to consumers' ever-evolving preferences and spending behaviors, adjusting to increased at-home demand, and facing supply chain disruptions. As a brand built from the ground up, SIA Scotch Whisky truly understands the importance of supporting these often-overlooked small business owners along their entrepreneurial journeys. ย  ย 

โ€

"As an entrepreneur from a historically underrepresented and underserved community, gaining access to funding and mentorship during my startup journey was always an uphill battle," said founder Luna-Ostaseski. "The food, beverage and hospitality space is very competitive, and I know from firsthand experience how game-changing support can be. SIA Scotch Whisky was born out of my perseverance and passion, and to this day our purpose is to inspire other entrepreneurs of color to achieve the unexpected โ€“ just like I did. I am so proud of The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund and its continued commitment to paying it forward."

โ€

However, success is not easy to come by. Entrepreneurs of color tend to face more obstacles when it comes to raising capital and are far more likely to get shut out of financing completely. Despite approximately 18.7% of all U.S. businesses being minority-owned, representing over 50% of new businesses started and creating 4.7 million new jobs, this group is still largely excluded in funding โ€“ receiving only a 2% share of venture capital annually over the last decade.

โ€

The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund by SIA Scotch is inspired by Carin Luna-Ostaseski's entrepreneurial journey and launches in partnership with Hello Alice, a free online platform that connects its community of nearly one million small business owners with the capital, tools and education they need to grow their businesses.

โ€

"Entrepreneurs of color are an economic force in the U.S and recognizing their impact in our communities is of great importance," said Elizabeth Gore, co-founder and President, Hello Alice. "In our most recent survey, 89% of small business owners claim access to capital is limiting their business growth potential. Along with our partner SIA Scotch Whisky, we are excited to continue this groundbreaking grant program to help support this underserved community and provide the resources, tools and additional exposure that these businesses need to succeed."

โ€

The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund by SIA Scotch will award $10,000 grants to 11 qualifying entrepreneurs who self-identify as people of color, for a total of $110,000. To apply, visit https://hialice.co/siascotchfund now through Sept. 26, 2022. To be eligible, business owners must be 25 years of age or older (as of November 1, 2022) and a legal U.S. resident. Businesses must be owned 51%+ by person(s) of color, a for-profit business producing less than $5M in annual gross revenue, not be an alcohol beverage wholesale or retail license holder or a business which makes/distributes/imports alcohol, and must operate and/or conduct business in at least one of the following states: CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, MA, MN, NJ, NV, NY, RI and/or TX. For complete eligibility criteria and important restrictions, visit the application site and terms & conditions. The final grant recipients will be announced on Nov. 1, 2022, kicking off National Entrepreneur Month.

โ€

The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund is a continuation of SIA Scotch Whisky's nearly decade-long commitment to donating a portion of sales to organizations that help support underrepresented entrepreneurs โ€“ the dreamers, movers and shakers who are shaping the future. When getting into the entrepreneurial spirit or when sipping on actual spirits, SIA encourages consumers of legal drinking age to drink responsibly.

How to Beat Record Summer Heat with aerMist

Cooling down for the more than 100 million Americans who have been impacted by record-breaking temperatures is now easier this summer. The reason: aerMist, an innovative high-pressure misting system that can lower the temperature of any outdoor space by up to 20 degrees.

โ€

People can comfortably enjoy their home's backyard and patio spaces without melting in the heat thanks to the new affordable misters. Unlike other products on the market, aerMist uses high water pressure that generates tiny water droplets that quickly evaporate. The process creates a cooling effect while keeping all patio furniture, clothing, and hair dry. In addition, the fine mist keeps flies and mosquitoes away without using any chemicals.

โ€

"The most popular summer activities take place outdoors," says Jelena Medic, aerMist co-founder. "People don't have to miss out on barbecues, relaxing in fresh air, or working in a garden in the hottest of temperatures thanks to aerMist."

โ€

In addition to helping people withstand record heat, aerMist misters provide additional relief to consumers' wallets by conserving water and keeping utility bills from skyrocketing. The misters work on a modulated system that automatically turns on and off, resulting in misters that operate with less water and electricity compared to other outdoor cooling products. Users can easily program settings in the proprietary user-friendly app.

โ€

The affordable units are made with high-quality materials that are easy to install, for homeowners and renters alike. The system's sleek design can be tailored to fit any outdoor space and can be easily concealed when not in use. This means there are no unnecessary expenses for unused pieces or parts.

Horror Game Domum Creater on Inflicting Their Vision on the World

Horror video game Domum just launched on Steam, and the creator, who wishes to remain anonymous, couldn't be more relieved.

โ€

Domum is difficult to categorize; it's a brief, thematically dense, top-down adventure game that touches on complex themes including child abuse. The creator had a lot to say when interviewed about these themes, and why they are featured so prominently.

โ€

"I had an excellent childhood," he responded. "None of this is related to my experience with my family or homelife, but I've always been fascinated by the psychology of people who abuse the vulnerable, whether a child or animal. It's such obviously abhorrent behavior that runs against the core of what makes us human and it's interesting to analyze how abusers justify it to themselves. I was intrigued by exploring that concept in detail. It's not a conversation I see addressed in games very often."

โ€

The creator went on to discuss the process of creating the game as a one-man team.

โ€

"I have very little experience on the technical side, so I used a very simple engine to put this game together," he replied. "I'm proud of the unconventional ways I was able to use that engine to get the results I wanted, but that simplicity and accessibility was key. No project I've worked on has so clearly highlighted my artistic limitations, so I'm grateful there were composers and artists out there more talented than I that I could lean on to patch my weaknesses."

โ€

When asked for final thoughts, he made it clear the game wasn't for everyone, but hoped it was for someone.

โ€

"I'm happy to finally be able to share this thing with the world, and I'd like people get something out of it," he replied with a shy smile. "It's my voice, for better or worse, and even if people don't like it, or are disgusted by it, I hope it's at least memorable. I'm excited to have Domum out there, whatever happens."

โ€

Domum is available now on Steam, and you can learn more about the game from the Domum website.

New CBD Brand Worthy of the Jerry Garcia Name Comes to Market

Jerry Garcia Wellness, the CBD-centric business that evokes the vision and values of Jerry Garcia, announced today the launch of its CBD wellness brand and products. Known as the founder of The Grateful Dead, one of the most successful touring bands in rock and roll history, Jerry Garcia was an early proponent of cannabis legalization and believed in its natural benefits decades before it became widely recognized as an effective aid to health and wellness.

โ€

The brand is an officially licensed partner of the Garcia family and features a full line of CBD products that will pay homage to the Jerry Garcia legacy. Products include a collection of highly effective tinctures, a full array of topicals, and custom molded rose-shaped gummies inspired by Garcia's love of roses. Each product elicits its own unique vibe, and all are centered on caring for the mind, body, and soul, as well as our planet.

โ€

More than 109 million Americans have used CBD for years to help with relaxation, sleeplessness, muscle soreness, balance, mental well-being, and to naturally support the body's response to a whole host of other physical and mental discomforts.

โ€

Jerry Garcia Wellness has enlisted Cameron Keluche, founder of KelSie Biotech, as Head of Product Development, to ensure that the quality and efficacy are second to none. Kelsie Biotech is known in the industry as a developer of some of the most highly effective CBD products and brands.

โ€

All Jerry Garcia Wellness products are made with 100% USDA Certified Organic CBD and a myriad of other natural, functional, botanical ingredients. Consumers can trust the brand to deliver highly efficacious, all-natural, hemp-derived, cannabidiol-based products.

โ€

"It is an honor to work on this 100% organic and plastic-free CBD project initiated by Jerry Garcia Wellness," said Keelin Garcia, Jerry's daughter and president of Jerry Garcia Music Arts, LLC. "We appreciate how dedicated the company has been to ensure that every aspect of the project is in line with what father believed in and supported. We're excited to be able to honor him on his 80th birthday by sharing this natural wellness CBD program with his fans."

โ€

"It's so cool that Jerry Garcia Wellness is announcing its debut in the CBD market on Garcia's 80th birthday," added Chris McCutcheon, Jerry Garcia Foundation board member, a long-time member of the Grateful Dead extended family, and Chief Historian and Story Teller for Jerry Garcia Wellness, "The whole venture's mission serves as a tribute to Garcia's fans by giving new life to his vision."

โ€

Staying true to Garcia's desire to take care of the Earth is a core tenet of Jerry Garcia Wellness. As a lifelong enthusiast of both Jerry Garcia's and the Grateful Dead's music and art, company founder and CEO Bobby Brahms has worked diligently with the Garcia family to ensure all products and packaging, along with the company's mission, are in line with Jerry's belief in sustainability.

โ€

"We will be including Jerry's fine art and other recognizable iconography in our packaging to instantly identify the brand as one that is his," said Brahms, "Every detail of every product has been designed to recognize and respect Jerry's vision for legal cannabis products that are intended to improve well-being without harming the planet. Fans and those seeking a better quality of life alike will know that they're getting a superior product that carries on Jerry's prolific legacy with each experience."

โ€

To carry on Garcia's work as a philanthropist, the company will be donating a portion of its proceeds to charities directed by his family. Jerry Garcia Wellness products will be available this fall for purchase online and at retail locations. To sign up for information and product availability, visit JerryGarciaWellness.com or email info@JerryGarciaWellness.com.

Redesigning the Future of Aesthetic Medicine: Bellesomaยฎ Welcomes Industry Leader, Vincent Wu, as New Chief Commercial Officer

Medical tech innovator Bellesoma happily announced it had added Vincent Wu to its growing executive team of exciting visionaries prepared to shake up the breast lift and reduction industry. Bellesoma has unique AI-based technology combined with an innovative surgical technique that can create a more youthful shape without implants and leaving no vertical scarring. Wu is an industry disruptor, having already applied his marketing philosophies to multiple global businesses โ€“ delivering results at a multibillion-dollar level.

โ€

"We're excited and lucky to have Vincent join our team," said Adam Cohen, CEO of Bellesoma. "Startups are always a challenging business, and even the best of them can falter without a strong vision and a fantastic team. But we have both. And we are on a mission to provide long-lasting breast solutions that help women achieve their aesthetic goals without the use of foreign bodies such as implants or surgical mesh. Vincent has been introducing first-of-its-kind medical technologies in both the East and West for decades, including most recently his work with breast aesthetics at Establishment Labs. He is the perfect person to help us show the world what we have accomplished."

โ€

Before joining Bellesoma, Vincent also helped create the first IOT home dialysis solution, along with new business models of hospital consultancy. At Establishment Labs, he was responsible for introducing a new generation of breast optimization technology. Wu earned an MBA from the Kelley School of Business and a Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology from Fudan University. Wu will be responsible for the company's product and customer development, along with consumer experience.

โ€

Bellesomaยฎ โ€“ Transcending the Limits of Aesthetic Medicine with Technology

Bellesoma uses cutting-edge AI software to scan a patient's breasts, creating a customized surgical blueprint tailored to each individual. The procedure then uses that blueprint as a roadmap, instructing surgeons on how to transfer the weight of the breast away from the skin by repositioning and securing each breast to the chest muscle high on the chest wall. Achieving a visible, plump fullness, the technique hides surgical scars around the areola and creases of the breast while using a woman's own breast tissue to create a far more youthful appearance without the use of implants.

โ€

"We're reimagining the possibility of aesthetic medicine," said Wu. "And in doing so, we can support women who seek to create their best selves โ€“ delivering them their desired appearance without worrying about foreign bodies they might regret later. That's at the heart of Bellesoma's mission."

Vellis is a New Calendar Powered Social Platform for IOS. $5500 Visa Gift Card Contest for Attracting New Users

Vellis is not a catch-all social network, but one that creates an extremely dedicated following. Vellis as a platform promotes engagement with a calendar sorted social profile. Posts are created with future dates to accompany them. It features the ability to selectively tag people that you want to join your calendarized event. Users can then choose to accept, decline, or mark the event and have it saved in their private calendar for reminder later. The app features a happening this week tab as well as a popular dates tab. There is a plethora of ways to find things to do or keep your family and followers up to date with your booked and busy status. An archive tab for old posts is kept so your community can see the outcome of your past charity work, gatherings and activities.

โ€

Social networking used to involve networking but has become a disconnected media and meme sharing device. The current meta keeps us disconnected from friends and family happenings and gatherings until all is left is to comment under the post of the completed event. Users on this platform are following you because they actually want to know your next moves in life and connect with you. CEO Dave Riboul believes "There is starvation for a platform that returns to the connected family roots that Facebook used to be, and TikTok runs away from."

โ€

Vellis will be hosting a contest to attract new users to the platform by issuing gift cards to a couple selected users who hit follower milestones in the first 30 days. Vellis will also start a search for brand ambassadors with news to follow by the end of the year. Contest gift card prizes will be given out following the end of the contest. Followers will be checked for authenticity before selecting winners. Check our Twitter and Discord channels for more information on where and how to participate.

Prizes are as follows:

  • $2000 Visa gift card to participant with more than 50K followers. One winner.

Tony Lindsay Blurs Genre Boundaries Again with a True Page Turner, 'Three Married Women and Her'

Three Married Women and Her is a novel that explores adultery from the perspective of the wife and the other woman. From page one, both points of view are exposed. Watching the buildup to the inevitable clash between the wives and the other woman drives this novel to a heart pounding peak with no relief. Even after the titans meet, the plot continues to shock and surprise. There is no lull in the action. Three Married Women and Her offers unpredictable and unexpected twists and turns throughout.

Bipolar Winter, Volume I: A Work of Fiction Based on Historical Events

Bipolar Winter, Volume I is author Samuel David Steiner's novel based on historical facts surrounding the Seventh-day Adventist church. Bipolar Winter, Volume I introduces readers to historian Aldo Lombardi, a recent graduate of the Pontifical Gregorian University summoned to appear before Pope Benedict. Allison Gillespie is an investigator whose assignment leads her to Aldo and a 500-year-old secret whose discovery may unravel the very fabric of the Christian faith. The pair must discover the truth behind the secret and reveal what the leaders of the modern Seventh-day Adventist church know that could destroy the Catholic Church. It's a race against time to expose the truth before hundreds of millions of followers are thrown into chaos and before a rogue sect unleashes a global cataclysm intended to fulfill its founder's doomsday prophecy.

โ€

Steiner, a native of Mobile, Alabama, began the Bipolar Winter project in 2011, and Bipolar Winter, Volume I was published in July 2020. The book draws upon Steiner's experiences within the Seventh-day Adventist church and his decision to leave the church as an adult. Bipolar Winter, Volume I is available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audiobook. Anyone who enjoys mystery, suspense, and thriller novels, as well as those who enjoy historical fiction and books about religion and spirituality will quickly become absorbed in Bipolar Winter, Volume I.

โ€

The Adventist church teaches that the Seven Last Plagues and a final global battle brings about the end of all life on earth. This global body โ€“ the Seventh-day Adventist church โ€“ is considered by many to be the world's most anti-Catholic and anti-protestant organization. Learn about all of this and so much more in Bipolar Winter, Volume I. Then decide for yourself โ€“ what is fact and what is fiction?

โ€

ABF Academy Completes Acquisition of Champagnat Catholic School

ABF Academy, a fully accredited K-12 private school located in Homestead, Florida, announced today that it has closed its acquisition of Champagnat Catholic School, the Hialeah based educational institution.

โ€

Established in 1968, Champagnat Catholic School was created to provide students in the Miami area with a Catholic based education focused on, as their website states, "Equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and optimism to live meaningful lives." Over the course of its 54-year tenure, Champagnat Catholic School became a pillar of the Hialeah community due, large in part, to its athletic successes. Since 1998, the Champagnat Lions have won District, Regional, and State honors across baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and track and field. Despite continued success in the classroom, on the field, and in the community, Champagnat Catholic School's Director of Operations Isabel C. Alonso publicly announced that the 2021-2022 academic year would be Champagnat's last. Soon thereafter, ABF Academy began its efforts to acquire the school. After a three-week period of talks and negotiations, the deal was finalized on Friday, July 29, 2022.

โ€

"There is no denying how important a role Champagnat has played for the Hialeah community throughout the years," said Manny Riera, Owner and Chief Academic Officer of ABF Academy. "When I was informed of the decision their leadership made to close down the school, I immediately knew that ABF would be the perfect organization to fill such a void."

โ€

The processes of transitioning Champagnat Catholic School into ABF Academy Hialeah are set to begin immediately. As stipulated in the deal, ABF Academy plans to retain certain facets of Champagnat's institution such as the Florida Department of Education school number, FHSAA membership status, and the school property itself. Plans to reinvigorate the basketball, baseball, and football programs are also underway at ABF Academy Hialeah with many coaching hires nearing finalization. ABF leadership also announced that the school would retain the Lions mascot in an effort to pay homage to the exemplary legacy its predecessor leaves behind.

โ€

"We're eager to welcome students, both new and old, into the hallways of ABF Academy Hialeah," said Mr. Riera. "Our hope is that the transition period moves along rather swiftly as we set our focus on opening for the first day of school on August 30th."
