Nick Zamucen: Helping People Restore Properties to Pre-Loss Condition
There is nothing closer than your own home, it is a gift you earn and give yourself. It becomes a box of memories of precious moments. Unfortunately, sometimes due to some inevitable disasters people lose their houses beyond restoration. But there are state-of-the-art ways to restore the house environment to its prime historical period. Nick Zamucen, CEO of Best Option Restoration, is committed to helping those in need after a disaster and returning their homes to their original condition. Recently, Mr. Zamucen is being interviewed to share his experience of restoring happiness in society. Let’s have a look! Please tell us about your professional background. Would you like to mention some of the highlights from your journey? I have created four nationally recognized franchised brands. Three of which have been previously sold to private equity companies and now my focus is to build and sell the last one, Best Option Restoration, over the course of the next decade. I live my life with the want and need to help others. Adding massive value to those around me is my passion. I live to be a good leader, a great friend, and an outstanding business mentor for my franchisees. Please brief us in detail about the current scenario of the business. How have the customer preferences changed over the years? The franchised restoration industry has never been in a hotter market. With Billions of dollars in claims being paid monthly from insurance companies, prospective franchise owners want in. Who could blame them? Best Option Restoration is in a fantastic position with its low cost of entry, state-of-the-art thermal drying systems and a management team second to none. We win and will continue to win in this crowded field. This is the industry to be in to build a life-changing business and a substantial income for years to come. What are the unique challenges your company is currently facing? How have they affected your company? The challenges we’ve had are actually rather opportunities. We continue to have a ton of new franchisee interest in our company. The hardest thing for us at a corporate level is keeping up with demand. We can only take on many units a month and having to put people on a waiting list isn’t fun for anyone. Most stay on the list and wait their turn, a few we lose to competition because they make a side deal and get in for a lesser price somewhere else. I find in business and life, you get what you pay for. Be very careful making deals with companies and devaluing your position. When was Best Option Restoration established? What are the prominent services/solutions offered by the company? Best Option Restoration was established in 2016. We offer Water mitigation, Fire rebuilds, Mold termination, Storm Damage, and Content Cleaning solutions for home and business owners. We’re escalating at our best, hence our name, Best Option Restoration. What measures do you incorporate to ensure motivation and productivity within the workspace? How do you respond to criticism and disagreements? We treat everyone like family. Sometimes you’re all on the same page and everyone is happy, sometimes you’re not. The important thing is, not that everyone always gets what they want, but they feel heard, understood, and respected. There will always be criticisms around and negative feedback. All you can do is try to mitigate that as much as possible but always do the best things for the clients. In our case, the clients are our franchisees. Put them first and always do what is right, you can’t go wrong. Everything takes more time than you think it will and problems are going to happen. People tend to think working for yourself is the ultimate freedom, and it can be after it’s earned. Working for yourself is not normally harder and longer hours than you’ve ever had before. You have to stay disciplined, driven, and self-started… every day, not just when you feel like it. What measures do you undertake to ensure optimum customer satisfaction? How much impact does the customer feedback have on the company’s strategies? With our clients being our franchisees, it’s pretty simple to ensure satisfaction because we are in communication with them weekly if not daily. Again, we are a family, we’re a close group. There are many times a franchise will reach out to me just to say hi, ask how I’m doing, and how is my family. This means the world to me because I know they care and in turn, they feel comfortable enough with me to be personal. I know I’m doing my job when my franchises are friends, like family, not just unit numbers. Please tell us about the services/products your company is offering? How are they different from your competitors’ offerings? With our propriety thermal technology drying systems, we are state of the art. We aren’t just another, “man with a fan in a van” like our competition. Best Option Restoration franchises dry structures in literally half the time of anyone else out there. There is truly no comparison to what we do. There are some copycats in the field we noticed lately. I look at that as once again I’m doing my job, I’m changing an old tired industry and bringing it into the new century. A century of technology and focused strategy. We are better because we practice being so. We’re just the “Best Option” in a mitigation and restoration situation. Tips for aspirants Problems are going to arise, just out of nowhere, so you must learn to deal with them effectively and quickly. You can’t just ignore problems and think someone else will handle them, not when you’re a business owner, it’s on you…success and failure. The choice is yours.
Manju Mastakar: An Extensive Investment Solution Provider For Wealth-Creation
After working as a stock advisor in a brokerage firm in the economic hub city of Mumbai, Manju moved to Bangalore to dive in as a wealth manager. Investing and gaining experience for more than 20 years in the investment industry, the sub-prime crisis of 2008 left her no choice but to quit the corporate job. The event triggered her to start a venture, Armstrong. Taking her passion as her business, Manju started working from home, meeting clients and advising them on investments. She has worked and developed solutions for clients of all sizes and played an instrumental role in choosing the right mutual fund. We at Fortunes Crown got into conversation with Manju Mastakar, Managing Director of Armstrong Capital & Financial Services Pvt. Ltd., to know more about the company and how it is helping the businesses and individuals as a whole. Below are the highlights of the interview: Describe your professional journey as an inspiring business professional. Any time that someone takes a risk and launches their own business there is always some foundational reason behind it. Though it was challenging at the beginning to switch from busy office life to working in a home environment, slowly but effectively working from home became the business norm. Initially, I thought of it as a stop-gap arrangement and that when the financial markets stabilize, I would get back into corporate life once again, but that never happened. First I established myself as a freelancer, and I was not shy about it at all. It wasn’t hard for me to say that I don’t have an office and I currently work out of the home. After I was almost 8-9 months into the entrepreneurial journey and had generated some cash flow, I took up a workstation in a business center. After a few more months, I hired my first employee, who in the past worked as a secretary. When you are on your own as a one-person army, it’s very important to delegate non-productive things. Slowly as business GREW, I started hiring people 1 by 1. In a year I would only add 1-2 resources. I worked on a very lean structure so that I could survive through the first 2 years of the entrepreneurial journey. What products and/or services do you offer? Armstrong offers services in the form of Financial Planning & Investment Advisory. We analyze the client’s past investments, understand his liabilities, and discuss their preferences with them. Further, we take a judgmental call on their risk appetite and then offer solutions. We call it the execution plan. We discuss the plan with the client, involving them in the decision-making process of choosing the right mutual fund. The primary motive behind starting Armstrong and continuing it was the unencouraging way wealth management is dealt with conventionally. More of upselling the product. I felt it was necessary to build up the relationship, understand the needs and then offer a solution. We have one plan and one perspective throughout the wealth creation journey. Till today Armstrong does not sell products. We identify requirements and sell solutions. Our core competency is that we work with integrity, keeping in mind that we need to build a long-term relationships. How do you set yourself apart from those already in the industry? We have always had a customer-centric approach – well, all companies say the same but how they put it to practice differs. So for us, when we say customer-centric, it means that there is no over-the-counter solution provided. All relationships begin by keeping in mind the long-term objective, and a financial plan tailored to their needs. We focus a lot on research we do bottom-up research on the funds and the stocks that they pick. We have various filterers based on analytical and various other parameters and the funds that pass through form a part of our white list. We then construct model portfolios for different categories of investors. Our wealth-building process is an iterative one, supported by many plans that evaluate the performance over a period of time. Every client is different, and we have an individualistic approach when offering them solutions. We conceive customized financial plans for each client, considering their life goals, their commitments, their dreams and their savings. We do not create returns, the appreciation is created by the markets we only create the discipline in the investor to save and invest at regular intervals. The first thing I do is protect wealth, the second thing we do is manage risk and then that last preference is past performance. My focus is my Vision, my focus is on my customer’s satisfaction, his long-term wealth creation and protection. This differentiates us from the rest of the industry. Talent Retaining and Hiring have been a challenge for all industries? How are you managing this aspect? In Armstrong Capital we generally hire freshers, I find freshers to be like a jigsaw puzzle and after every conversation with them add on to a piece and for more than 2 years is when the puzzle transforms into a full picture. I feel every individual has a unique characteristic that has to be utilized as a skill for the organization. A team is a unique collage of many individualistic characteristics someone can be like a lion who begins the project with full trust and power and doesn’t relax till the task is completed, someone may be like a crane with high levels of concentration who can strike at the right place with the right force. Someone maybe like a donkey who never refuses any work, some may be like cocks who can give a wake-up call. It’s the leaders’ ability to assemble them as a team and then orchestrate them. They then realize that they are dependent on one another and stick on as a team for a long time, making magic make history. What motivates you to keep going? What attracts me to this profession is intellectual stimulation, the people I work with,
Yasaf Burshan: Inspiring and Empowering Creators to Make an Impact
Israel is a very small country – two hours from Tel Aviv you are on the edge of the country. But due to its position as a global innovation powerhouse, investors from major countries are attracted to it. Identified as a hotspot for collaboration, Yasaf, an innovative Israeli entrepreneur helps businesses thrive through effectively integrating technologies in their education businesses. Yasaf Burshan, Founder and CEO of Team Genius, shares his journey of outgrowing and expanding abroad, connecting people with technology. We at Fortunes Crown got into an interview questionnaire to know more about the company and its impact on ed-tech businesses. Please tell us about your educational/professional background. Who inspired you to become a business leader? Would you like to mention some of the highlights from your journey? When it comes to formal education, I’m happy to say that I’ve obtained education in two major fields that I’m very passionate about, Technology and People. I have a BA in business management with a major in Information Technology and I’m a certified project management professional (PMP). Also, I am a certified Clinical NLP master and a graduate of the Tony Robbins platinum partnership program. This combination allowed me to have a very successful career in the traditional IT industry for over 20 years, in which I held multiple senior roles including the head of IT for IKEA in Israel. Please brief us in detail about the current scenario of the business. How have the customer preferences changed over the years? Team Genius’s mission is to inspire and empower creators to make an impact. We work with content and course creators all over the world (majorly in the US, Canada, and Australia) and we help them to unleash their creativity by effectively integrating technology into all areas of their business. Simply put, we keep them in their Zone of Genius, doing what they do best, as we help them create profitable online businesses. As a content creator myself, for my program “Anywhere Boss”, I know first-hand the challenges they are facing, and I’m also inspired by them to become better and better. While I’m still very much in the “tech zone” my ideal customer has changed from the finance/retail/consumer subject matters to the knowledge commerce business. What are the unique challenges your company is currently facing? How have they affected your company? I think that like most other companies these days working remotely and efficiently is a challenge. At the same time, one advantage we have on our side is that Team Genius was founded as a global organization with team members across multiple locations, so this is built right into our DNA. It drives us to be more open in our communications, efficient in the way we do business, and of course, rely on technology, we do for ourselves what we do for our customers. When was Team Genius established? What are the prominent services/solutions offered by the company? Team Genius was established in 2019. We are a certified Thinkific agency partner, certified Zapier experts and a certified Evernote partner. In addition, we have partnerships with other major brands like Microsoft and Monday that gives us a unique ability to look at our customers’ tech needs from a holistic point of view. We help our customers create profitable online courses, products and membership sites and convert sales funnels, but we don’t stop there. We apply automation and make them more efficient and productive in their business. And on a personal level, I also mentor and coach my customers on how to take things to the next level and build a lifestyle that excites them by becoming “Anywhere Bosses”. What measures do you incorporate to ensure motivation and productivity within the workspace? How do you respond to criticism and disagreements? I encourage open and honest communication. It is my responsibility as the leader to make sure that everybody gets heard and to recognize what they have to say. Values and culture are the keys here and it starts with me leading by example, and by choosing Team Members that share the same values. Not the same opinions, the same values. Disagreements are inventible, nor they should be ignored. Every member of the team has the freedom to speak freely. Criticism is fine, as long as it is served as feedback that we can build on and improve. My response is always “bring it on, let’s talk about it so we can get better. What measures do you undertake to ensure optimum customer satisfaction? How much impact does the customer feedback have on the company’s strategies? Communication is the key. Customer satisfaction is very important for us and it plays a major role in our growth and success strategies. Customer dissatisfaction is most likely to come when there is a gap between the customer expectation and the result or deliverable. So we communicate clearly from the first step what is to be expected, what is included in the scope of work, the timeline and the expected cost. Then we monitor expectations and communication throughout the lifecycle of the project and adjust as needed. We are not afraid to say that we don’t have the answer to something, and if such cases arise we see them as an opportunity to learn something new with a promise to come back with an answer in X amount of time. Please tell us about the services/products your company is offering? How are they different from your competitors’ offerings? We are certified Thinkific agency partners, and as such, we offer course creation, site-building and automation services. We also support all Thinkific superpowerups, from general consultation to setup and configuration. As Zapier experts, we effectively integrate technology in all areas of our customer’s business. Keeping them in their “Zone of Genius”, doing what they do best; teaching, empowering, creating, leading, and making sure they have efficient processes that are working for them so they can quickly and effortlessly scale. The successful partnerships we maintain with industry-leading vendors allows

How NFTs Will Transform Data Ownership in the Metaverse?
As the metaverse continues to develop, the coming years for digital owners will be hyperreal. Scaling immersive content material to billions of people could be the easiest to control with automatic AI equipment. The AI will generate personalized content material primarily based on users’ biometric face and voice data, alongside the environments they want. As the hyperreal metaverse emerges, our avatars will be the best copies of ourselves replicating who we’re in actual life. Everyone could take management of how and wherein we seem in digital worlds. However, the most concerning part will be to protect our hyperreal identification and our very own private biometric records utilized by AI. Data ownership Since the start of the internet, we’ve somehow failed to manage our records somewhere. With the upward push of social media, the tech has collected private records with or without our consent. Though they ask people to read the terms and conditions before but in reality how many of them really read those. If the metaverse turns out to be an extension of reality, we’ll want to permit the persistence of our digital selves. Additionally, we can have variations of our avatar that permit us to play with our identity or render ourselves as a unique gender. When we securely save our non-public records in NFTs, we will be capable of shipping these records throughout the digital world. Also, NFTs offer the entire management to owners over the way these private records are utilized by third parties. This lets us show that we’re who we are without requiring us to share non-public records. Read More: World’s First Metaverse with Built-In Protection for the Minors and the Planet The importance of NFTs in Gen Z NFT hype comes and goes, but, there’s no question that they will play a crucial role in new content and virtual economies. Aside from record-breaking income, NFTs and blockchain technology are crucial factors to empower mankind to create their very own hyperreal artificial avatars inside the metaverse. In the future, all of us can have an NFT that hyperlinks to our biometric statistics saved offline. These NFTs will offer the idea for our chronic digital identities and we can log in to offerings and reviews like “3-D Immersive Zoom” and “Hyperreal Fifa 2025.” The uses our wallets much like how we use “Sign in with Google” today. This method will permit customers to confirm their real-global identity and consent to how they’re rendered in hyperreal content material. It’s an intensive departure from the statistics possession paradigm of Web2.
Harley Davidson Launches Serial 1 Limited Edition Mountain Bike
Harley Davidson announced a series of exclusive, one-of-a-kind e-bikes under its series 1 brand name. Inspired by the Schwinn Sting-Ray Mosh/Chopper is the first offering. The winning bid was $14,200. At the time, the company said that just like in the world of motorcycles, customization would play a big role. Like Serial 1, the company thinks about the types of e-bikes it designs. Serial 1, the e-bike company spun out of Harley-Davidson nearly two years ago. Revealed another premium model designed to make you open your wallet in helpless surrender. The Mtn is the company’s first electric mountain bike, and it can destroy an off-road trail. A rigid, single-speed eMTB, the Mtn is designed for serious off-roading, and also requires less maintenance because of its simplified design. But it won’t be cheap, with a suggested retail price of $3,999. What does it offer? The Mtn design was based on the Serial 1 engineer’s build and adapted to the company’s entry-level model. This new premium model keeps many of the Cty features, Gates Carbon Drive belt, and Brose S Mag mid-drive motor. Additionally, the TRP hydraulic disc brakes run internal cables and wires and integrated LED lighting.

Yucca Tan’s painting with special Gloss Graffiti graphics also differentiates the Mtn from other Serial 1 models. Also thanks to a deal with Google, the Serial 1 app will relay all the ride data and other metrics to users. Serial 1 features a removable 529Wh battery that powers the bike for 30–95 miles, depending on the ride mode. It’s a Class 1 e-bike with no throttle, which means it tops out at 20 mph. With 90 Newton meters and 66 foot-pounds of torque, it ensures you can get up a steep hill without much effort. Much like the stunning, vintage-inspired S1 Mosh/Tribute, the Bash/Mtn will be in limited production. Only 1,050 copies will be produced: 525 for the United States and 525 for Europe. No fussy suspension to tune, no finicky drivetrain to adjust — just two wheels, one gear, and one purpose, to provide the most direct connection between you and the trail.
Why Elon Musk’s Net Worth is Out of $200 Billion Club?
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world has the misfortune that as of Wednesday, May 25 his net worth fell to a value of $193 billion. Being on news is now a daily thing for Musk as he never stops sharing his thought and so his controversies. But what is the reason behind this sudden fall? Fall of Tesla and Twitter shares Tesla shares fell almost 7% on May 24 as the company’s manufacturing unit is hampered by the ongoing coronavirus lockdowns in China. Tesla falls buying and selling at $1,145 a share. Tesla sank to its lowest charge of $620.57 a percentage earlier than last at $628.16. Twitter rarely fared higher on May 24.

Twitter stocks had fallen 31.1% due to the fact ultimate at an excessive of $51.70 on April 25 — while the company’s board of administrators usually Musk’s $44 billion buyout offer. Musk bought his 9.2% stake in Twitter, or 73.12 million shares, at a weighted average price of $36.16. At the current stock price, Musk would lose $40.7 million on his investment. That’s a stark swing from the $1.14 billion gain from the April 25 closing price of $51.70. Read more: These are the Changes Elon Musk May Bring After Buying Twitter The controversies Elon Musk has been in the news for a few weeks including his involvement in the Amber Heard case and allegations of sexual harassment by an air hostess back in 2016. It cannot be denied that if the world is peeping on a person’s daily activities, the person must remain clean from all sides, especially if it’s a criminal offense. Musk’s recent controversies against two females put him into a witness box. Recently, one of his flight attendants claimed of been sexually harassed in 2016 by Musk on a private jet. According to a report on the website BusinessInsider, SpaceX paid the accuser $250,000 not to file a lawsuit over the alleged incident. Musk has additionally been in the information for being part of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case trial. His call turned into in truth dragged into the trial through Johnny Depp, who accused him of getting an affair with Heard at some point in his 2020 libel case in the UK.

Asus Unveils Overkill Rog Swift 500Hz Fastest Gaming Monitor
The best gaming monitors offer high refresh rates for smooth gaming experiences. There are some gamers who balk at refresh rates below 144Hz, and monitors with 240Hz and even 360Hz displays are becoming more common. Now Asus is launching the world’s first 500Hz display in the form of the 24-inch 1080p Asus ROG Swift 500Hz. During Computex 2022 reveal, the Asus ROG Swift 500Hz seems overkill. 500Hz might not be something normal gamers aren’t expecting, it might be what competitive gamers are looking for. What are the offerings of The ROG Swift 500Hz? The ROG Swift 500Hz features a 24.1-inch panel that comes out at Full HD (1920×1080) resolution. The relatively low resolution here is understandable given the insanely high refresh rate. We doubt if even the best graphics cards out there will be able to push such insanely high frame rates at anything above 1080p. Just to put things into perspective, the ROG Swift 500Hz draws frames more than eight times faster than typical 60Hz displays in a single second. But it also means your GPU will be put through its peak. ASUS says it’s using a new Esports TN technology that offers 60% better response times than standard TN panels to make the ROG Swift 500Hz better responsive. It also supports built-in NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer and G-SYNC technology. Which will let you tweak settings to achieve the lowest possible input lag without stuttering or tearing. Read More: NFTs Aren’t as Cool as They Sound Requirements to use the 500Hz overkill monitor This monitor is aimed at competitive gamers who want to get the full out of their gaming screen. However, to take full advantage of the 500Hz display would require a superpowerful gaming rig. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards are reportedly set to arrive in the second half of 2022. According to rumored specs, they should be able to run games at very high frame rates, thus taking advantage of this monitor’s high refresh rate. Nvidia claims that this gaming monitor makes a match-making difference for competitive gamers. This monitor reduces ghosting and makes it easier to follow targets with smoother animations. The screen uses other technologies that, according to Nvidia, ensure better response times. Nvidia has not announced a release date or price for the ROG Swift 500Hz gaming monitor. Although it’s only 1080p, given its ultra-high refresh rate.

“The Sports Bra”- A Sports Bar That Features Only Women’s Sports
For years, former chef Jenny Nguyen joked with her friend Liz about opening a bar called The Sports Bra. The imaginary place would be dedicated to one of their shared passions: women’s sport. Nguyen opened The Sports Bra on April 1, Portland’s first bar dedicated to women’s sports. The bar also offers liquor and beef from the Oregon area. Some of the furniture in the bar was built by Girls Build, a local non-profit organization for girls. Men and women flocked to the 40-seat venue on Portland’s NE Broadway to grab a drink and chat about women’s soccer, golf, track and field, and more. The sports bra has received nationwide media coverage and warm support from the community, said Nguyen, 42. The idea behind The Sports Bra But Nguyen continually harbored a love for women’s sports activities. Among her buddies, The Sports Bra idea loomed largely—however simplest as a dream. The upward thrust of women’s sports activities withinside the media has helped the bar’s mission. Nguyen stated she can’t remember if any women’s sports activities got any airtime whilst she turned young. Nguyen recounted, “commenced as a joke, and in my head, it’s an area wherein my buddies watch sports activities, We had continually joked approximately it.
