Coming Soon To A City Near You: Halen Becomes The First Franchise Based Super-App for the United States

In life, in business, and in technology development, there’s a common practice: “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” As we know, the wheel is one of the most important inventions since the dawn of time. Amplifying that fact, two wheels made life easier than one, three built an improvement, and four is a game changer.

Standing defiant on the logic that “more is better” when it comes to what fits on the precious six inches of our smart phone’s home-screen space, less becomes more. Why do we need an app to hail a Ride-share, another app to order dinner, another app get your groceries dropped off, another to . . . well, you get the idea? What comes with all of these apps before you may begin these services? Multiple registration screens, bank and credit card information requests, credential verification, and time to get acquainted with how one particular app operates as opposed to the other four. Each app has its own ecosystems, its own personalities, and its own frustrations.

Let’s change how we seek comfort and convenience. Enter the Halen Super-App. Halen’s one-stop-shop “Super-App” offers six different services in one. Halen’s services include Ride-share, Grocery Delivery, Restaurant Delivery, Retail Delivery, Vacation Rentals, and Flight Booking. By combining these services, the Halen Super-App represents a very large $1.5 trillion addressable market.

During the pandemic, many restaurants and businesses were forced to reduce their food production and retail delivery services due to less consumer traffic. Social distancing became common practice, and millions of app users who had never before used mobile delivery services were quickly introduced to the practice. As a result, a near unanimous conclusion was realized: “Hey, I like this!”

The mobile delivery service market had been thriving for years with vendors such as Uber, Lyft, and GrubHub. Their success hasn’t come without challenges. Based on the nature of the architecture of their app, each of these companies only provide one or two services. Links to other services may be obtained from the initial app, but users then face connectivity and authentication issues of separate sign-in’s, separate submission of financial information, and for drivers, unique background checks and security evaluation for each app. Each of these services have separate standards and practices for users and drivers, and their requirements vary. One customer or driver may be accepted on one app and rejected on several others due to various individual guidelines of each company.

Halen

Halen’s Super-App disrupts this system by making the app ecosystem a one-stop-shop approach. From the beginning, Halen has been designed to offer six separate services available to users upon one login and authentication. As a client, users will only have to sign up and connect a preferred payment method once. This applies to any ride-share, retail or food delivery, or hospitality and travel services. Not only does this create an ease of use for users, but it also greatly decreases the chances of identity theft via reducing the number of companies obtaining the personal information of users.

For power users, or for those who find their time demands to be too much, a “Concierge Service” membership plan will also be offered. With this membership, users may receive discounts for using multiple services at once, as well as having a dedicated car, driver and delivery services associate be immediately available for all of one’s daily needs.

For drivers and delivery service associates who sign up with Halen, one registration for all of these services will provide them with the freedom and versatility to offer any combination of services. If a driver chooses not to take ride-share clients for a day, but wants instead to deliver parcels, they could select one option and enjoy a quieter day. If a driver wants to have a very active day, using the Halen driver’s app, they could make themselves available for all services, and not have to switch between apps for different services.

What further sets Halen ahead of other mobile delivery services is the franchise business model. Halen prides itself on being a “community-driven” company. We truly believe that the best way to serve a community is to be a part of that community. Thus, Halen is making franchise ownership and licensing available to dedicated and qualified members of the markets where it’s made available. By partnering with local businesses community organizations, Halen will have localized representation able to address and target the specific needs of local demographics. As an established franchise, Halen will provide job opportunities, public outreach programs, and personalized customer service to care for various members of that community.

As a new company taking a fresh approach to customer service, comfort and convenience, Halen has the tools and versatility to optimize many issues the mobile service industry faces today. After all, six wheels are better than four, especially when you only have to click once to use all of them.

Eduardo Perez Explains What It Takes to Excel in an Unpredictable Industry

The mortgage industry, much like the real estate industry, often experiences numerous changes throughout the years. While some of these changes are more predictable than others, being prepared for the unexpected is the way to get through those complex challenges and continue to succeed. For example, the CEO and co-founder of Equity Prime Mortgage, Eduardo G. Perez Jr., launched the business in 2008 during one of the most challenging times for the United States because of the recession. Yet, despite the lack of trust from homebuyers and the low morale amongst employees, he remained optimistic and continued working non-stop.

“If you want to excel in an unpredictable industry, such as the mortgage industry, you need to put your all into everything. It’s crucial to set goals that you can work toward to keep yourself motivated and ready to keep pushing. Challenges can develop in any industry, but they’re even more common in the mortgage industry because of the unpredictability of the market,” shared Eduardo Perez. “My passion for the industry helped me achieve a series of goals to get to that bigger picture. If you want to do well, you need to have that genuine passion and use it as motivation to continue learning. Instead of thinking solely about the money you can make from what you’re doing, think about the significant impact your hard work can have and how many lives you can change throughout the process.”

Responsible for business development, overseeing overall sales, enhancing diversity initiatives, developing creative strategies, and more, it’s easy to see that Eduardo Perez has his hands full. However, because he loves what he does for a living, it’s become easier to multitask while staying focused and productive to see the best results. His dedication to his role at Equity Prime Mortgage has led to his feature in Mortgage Professionals Magazine’s list of 40 Most Influential Mortgage Professionals Under 40. In addition, the company received recognition as one of the leading mortgage bankers in the nation. Perez credits the success of Equity Prime Mortgage to the team’s willingness to remain driven and focused on the bigger picture, even during the most trying times.

“Consumers like to work with us because we provide a safe and welcoming environment for them to improve themselves while choosing from various products that meet their needs. We also make sure to give the broker community a voice while using the latest technology to provide enhanced experiences for all,” said Perez. “We know that others have paved the way for us, and that is why our company feels so strongly about paying it forward. We want the next generation companies to have an even greater level of success while mastering the art of overcoming adversity, which is why we regularly host educational events to help others within the industry.”

The company plans to continue branching out by getting involved in the media world while continuing to provide the latest information on the housing industry. With big things coming, Eduardo Perez looks forward to what the future has in store.

Jay Doran Shares What That Great Corporate Culture Goes Beyond Free Coffee. Here’s What Businesses Should Know

Free coffee, gym memberships, and birthday days off; are these the hallmarks of inclusive, progressive corporate culture? Jay Doran would argue, by themselves, no. Great business culture is much more than the sum of the perks and incentives offered to staff. Instead, culture is embedded into the motivation, strategy, and profit-making of each organization. What’s more, those businesses that can clearly define their underlying core culture have the keys to greater financial rewards.

Jay Doran has a wealth of experience working with business leaders and CEOs to help them evaluate, define and implement business-wide cultural goals. He is the CEO and founder of Culture Matters, an advisory firm that helps companies grow without losing sight of why they started in the first place. For Jay, a personal quest to more deeply understand the definition of culture has transformed into a vision to help the corporate world. A world where the concept is not easy to define in actionable terms. He says, “People hear the word ‘culture’ and think of Pizza Day or incentives, as opposed to competence, meaning, productivity and fulfillment.” Real, transformative cultural awareness, attests Jay, comes from the top-down. That’s why he works primarily with founders and senior leaders to solve problems as they arise, within the context of productivity, turnover, strategy, and brand alignment.

Once a company has a clearly defined culture, argues Jay Doran, it will see increases in staff retention and profit. He says, “When we talk about culture, the profit made comes from how employees interact with each other and their customers. More profit is a result of more productive interactions”. But, it takes an organization open to diversity in thought, constant growth, and inclusivity for cultural transformations to be successful. Companies need to be willing to allow some open conflict too. As Jay says, “Learning takes stress. But stress needs responsibility to ensure a culture does not break down, so people do not break down.” Embracing and validating differences in thought processes and beliefs can become liberating for company core values.

Jay Doran’s insights come from a lifetime spent studying people. He believes his tendency to be open and creative with just the right amount of stubbornness has given him the ability to drill down into what makes individuals and businesses tick. His obsessive search to better understand the all-encompassing concept of culture and better understand himself has led him on a journey to do something worthwhile. Jay wants to live his life helping people think, act and do in more beneficial ways. Through Culture Matters, Jay clarifies an organization’s purpose, vision, and mission, working with business leaders to address objective and subjective needs.

It can be easy to think that a great, productive corporate culture needs little more thought than offering away days and healthcare. In reality, companies that spend the time and money to embed culture into the fabric of their business and unify their staff to work together within the same values system will see a substantial return on investment. As Jay says, “Cultural development beyond catchphrases or buzzwords takes serious, methodical work. But, the financial and emotional payoff is exponential.”

Brian Hutcheson Innovates With Medical Practice And Client Satisfaction

Bringing value to humanity, attaining exceptional interpersonal standards, researching emerging practices. These are not typically words associated with the average entrepreneur; rather, they are understood to be ideals selfless public figures aspire to. Western nations often operate under the belief that innovation is driven by competition, a so-called ‘race to the bottom’ to provide the most effective service in the most efficient way possible to the largest number of people. But what if innovation could be driven not by a need to turn a fast profit but by the development of society and the growth of communities?

First, of course, a public figure or business leader needs a tested, high-quality service on which their potential client base can rely. From there, the responsibility falls on the pioneer to discover new methods and figure out how to suit them for public use. If an individual can achieve all of that, they have the recipe for an influential and successful venture sitting in the palms of their hands. It’s a journey that Dr. Brian Hutcheson, Director of Caring Medical Florida’s Dynamic Orthoneurologic Correction program, endeavors upon. Driven equally by the unknowns of civilization’s medical future and a changing perception of healthcare, Brian has set out to show the world that better health is possible through the challenge of the status quo.

Presently, Caring Medical enjoys a vastly diverse client base, spread across the globe’s seven continents. Brian Hutcheson is a key proponent of their expansion by passionately inciting those who wish to improve their health and wellbeing to take on appointments at his clinic. Beyond the appeal of his practice, Brian focuses on the growth of his personal social media channels, where he seeks to illustrate real-life solutions to everyday health and wellbeing problems. “I want to share with others that they can live a life of truth, honor, and integrity, and come out a massive success,” Brian proclaims.

While this recent development in Brian Hutcheson’s brand is focused on modernizing the healthcare approach, it is no anomaly in the broader story of the trailblazer. An ardent advocate of digital motion X-ray (DMX) technology for some years, Hutcheson made it an objective early in his career to spread awareness of the diagnostic tool’s capability to locate hidden injuries in patients. The work was as theoretical as it was practical, as Brian made a self-confessed ‘leap of faith’ in purchasing and operating his own mobile DMX unit, which opened him up to the variety of uses and benefits that the technology could provide. Now, he is a Managing Partner in Digital Motion X-Rays of the Carolinas, overseeing the development and refinement of processes and forming partnerships with regenerative medicine therapists. If someone requires any further information about DMX, Brian Hutcheson’s the person who’s going to give it to them.

Fortunately for Brian, acceptance eventually came, with his unwavering persistence rewarded by growing public recognition of DMX’s benefits. However, there are still barriers to the tool’s full implementation into medical practice, as many government regulations and conservative healthcare plans still refuse to acknowledge DMX’s rising number of proponents. Hutcheson and his team don’t shy away from the challenge, though, as they frequently release research countering institutional presumptions. As with all of Hutcheson’s ambitious pursuits, the process is an ongoing one.

Brian Hutcheson and Caring Medical’s commitment to innovation goes beyond championing new technologies. The clinic’s client experience is arguably the most cutting-edge facet to its appeal, with modern methods designed to compliment Hutcheson’s personal online output. Patients receive tailored videos explaining the step-by-step techniques and processes the professionals believe will improve their condition. Moreover, Brian is exceedingly flexible with the length of his appointments in an effort to ensure every patient comes out with a resolution to the issue at hand. The cherry on the cake is the clinic’s compassionate aftercare program, where members of Brian’s team perform check-up calls to raise their standard of care above that of a traditional in-and-out doctor’s appointment.

Growing up with a mother who instinctively spread kindness throughout the community, Hutcheson combined that example with the equally valuable experience gifted by his father. Formative moments in Brian’s childhood were made when his father would take him to Chicago Cubs games along with business associates from all backgrounds and walks of life. This exposure to diverse adults at an early stage in his development equipped Brian with the ability to interact with everybody – a necessary proficiency in a field as indiscriminate as health and wellbeing.

A clinic based on genuine, thorough care and an occupational background founded on the curiosity of new medical technologies – these are the new frontiers on which Dr. Brian Hutcheson continues to operate. Conquest of the plain of online media to spread his ideas can surely not be far behind.

WSJ Best Sellers Imran Tariq & Aimee Tariq Takes Businesses’ Online Presence To The Next Level

Driving higher profits in the digital world can be challenging for most business owners. In this new landscape, it’s important to drive people to a business website and remain relevant online. However, many don’t have the resources or the time to market themselves in this way. One expert is making things easier and doing the heavy lifting for business owners through his successful marketing services.

Helping business owners navigate the digital world

Directors and Co-Founders of WebMetrix Group Imran Tariq & Aimee Tariq have made it their mission to alleviate the stress of digital marketing on businesses. The digital landscape has become a very competitive arena over the past several years, and business owners would have to spend a lot of time and resources trying to learn everything on their own. Not to mention, the task of keeping up with everchanging online trends can turn into a complicated and stressful task in itself. The goal of their digital marketing and reputation management company is to create a better online presence for other businesses, without the hassle.

Tariq’s approach is intended to attract more customers and generate higher profits in the most efficient way possible. WebMetrix Group aims to help businesses increase their revenue by millions of dollars a year as well as build the authority and lead brands and public figures to be trusted by everyone. The digital marketing agency side offers Multi-lingual SEO services, GMB Optimization as well as local video ads, Google PPC with clickfraud and multilingual strategy, and ADA compliant web design services. Over the course of several years working with major brands, Imran Tariq & Aimee Tariq has created the best techniques to take businesses to the next level online. Allowing them and their team to do what they do best takes a lot of weight off of business leaders’ shoulders. Their expertise has propelled WebMetrix Group to becoming one of the best digital marketing & online reputation management and public relation agencies in the world.

Connecting with people online

Part of creating a trustworthy online presence is connecting with an audience through digital platforms, like social media sites. Imran & Aimee both have become experts in their field, and been verified on social media accounts with less than 1,000 followers like IG & Tiktok when they were first verified, with Imran still being at 48 followers on Tiktok. With verified accounts, new followers will see him as a reliable source of information, regardless of how many people are following his account.

Tariq uses their social media accounts to share publications they are featured in, which in turn increases their credibility. Using their platforms as sources of mentorship, sharing advice and encouraging messages to their followers regularly. But most importantly, new audience members will find their profile and be able to learn more about their expertise and the services they offers. The end goal is always to lead other people and help them create a similarly successful online presence for themselves.

Consider Venturing in the First Cross-Launchpads Platform

WhalesShare, the very first cross-launchpads platform, has traveled the space and reached us with a great vision. It addresses the complications crypto investors face and provides the ultimate solutions for their sake. “Now wonderous doors for development are to open before you, and crypto investment has never been more easily facilitated,” said Whalesshare.

The First and Only Cross-launchpads Platform

According to CryptoMinati Capital, “Launchpads provide regular investors the opportunities that were previously only available to venture capitalists and other large-scale investors.”

However, as golden as the process of entering an initial coin offering (ICO) is at first glance, things are not always as they seem. A significant number of the most favorable launchpads has preserved great opportunities for those whales with large capitals and left the early investors to take the crumbs.

WhalesShare says that their Cross-launchpads Platform is the way to go from now on.

Three Main Problems Solved:

First, Crypto investment barriers are resolved as guaranteed allocations become a reality.

WhalesShare’s mission, as they claim, is to bring the best to their community. Crypto launchpads platforms provide a space to launch new coins, crypto projects and raise liquidity. Everybody knows that they will be the next big thing in the crypto landscape.

WhalesShare, being a community-oriented firm, provides the first cross-launchpad to compensate for the pain points of the current launchpad model. WhalesShare aims at restoring the democratic air to the crypto landscape so that more people can put their hands on lucrative tokens and significant investments.

The problem with the conventional launchpad model lies in it being controlled by a few global corporations. It usually involves complex tier systems and insufficient IDO allocations. WhalesShare introduces a brilliant pooling system that stands in a class by itself to solve this problem.

The main premise for WhalesShare is based on a massive scale collaboration where the best opportunities, tasks, and revenue are distributed accordingly. This offers the community members and investors fair access to their favorite projects’ allocation pools. Moreover, it is always guaranteed, and everyone can benefit from it regardless of their tiers or budgets.

We are the Bridge for those unable to join the Launchpads.

Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has been subject to controversy. Other cryptocurrencies are no exception, of course. Among the criticism hailed at cryptocurrencies, one hears of its volatility and the absence of governmental legality, which might open the door for nefarious transactions. Some countries have banned cryptocurrencies, while others have imposed limitations on the way people use them. It is unfortunate that investors may miss such a great chance only for this reason.

Residents of some countries such as the United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and many other countries are blocked from participating in many starters’ platforms due to the laws of the countries in which these platforms were established. WhalesShare aims to act as an intermediary or a bridge that enables investors to participate in the launchpads’ projects they desire.

Supporting nodes and validators that serve the blockchain have become more lucrative for everyone.

WhalesSahre has given much thought to this aspect of its blockchain business. Nodes and validators constitute the backbone of blockchain networks. Validators seek to fulfill the network’s needs to get the most high-performance blockchain. Based on their purpose, which can range between processing, verifying transactions, solving complex computational math problems, and participating in consensus, their requirements and tasks vary from one blockchain to another.

More importantly, validators are the moderators of the staking system. Thus, they play an essential role in authoring new blocks on the chain. To secure the most decentralized space ever, Whalesshare fore-seeks many excellent validators. This creates a variety in the staking options for the community. More importantly, it ensures high system protection as it does not allow any wealthy individual or entity to control the network.

WhalesShare claims that they will cover all technical requirements and create easy-to-join pools where shareholders share the expenses and the tasty rewards! For starters, tens of attractive node-validator opportunities would be available very soon on the platform. They begin with Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, and Cardano, as they are trendy and super-fast growing blockchains.

To conclude, WhalesShare, as the slogan says, aims to create democratic opportunities for anyone with any budget and join and benefit, you can visit WhalesShare at https://whalesshare.com

Evan Gouveia AKA Boston Stats and his Esports Career

Twenty-one year old Esports entrepreneur Evan Gouveia recently closed his organization Orlando Reapers operations. He founded Orlando Reapers when he was sixteen years old in the summer of 2017. They first attended the H1Z1 event at 2017 TwitchCon placing 8th and 10th. Summer of 2018 is when Evan and his brand would make a name for themselves.

Evan Gouveia

In August of 2018 Orlando Reapers won the AfterDarkesports WWII event in Miami. He went on to scout arguably his best signing ever consisting of Mack, Sib, Exceed, LordPawns and Brolic. In his video about closing the Reapers operations he always said how much he admired all of those players’ drive.

Mack and Sib now play in the “Call of Duty League” together for the Seattle Surge. Evan not long after turning twenty-one joined Litecoin Gaming LLC. He is now the Vice President over at Litecoin Gaming LLC the question remains is he still the head scout? He scouted multiple players while they were in the “amateur” scene and now have made it to the pro league. Has had an underdog’s roster place for Gears of War Mexico City.

There is no doubt that he is a top scout in the industry however is that what he wants to do? Some are saying he originally joined Litecoin Gaming as Esports Manager. Is he there to make sure they sign the right rosters, market themselves correctly or something we haven’t seen.

Why do we think Head Scout?

Over the years Evan has proven he has what it takes to identify talent in multiple scenes. It’s no secret he has grown up playing with professionals or other owners. His networking reach has definitely helped him throughout the years. It is commonly thought for Evan to have been born in Orlando due to the name of his first organization however lives in Boston Massachusetts. It seems right that a company like Litecoin Gaming LLC would get in touch with a person of such knowledge to make safe plays in what is a Booming area.

SMUGDOGE Reclaims Its Title as #1 Meme Coin on Harmony ONE Blockchain

Today, on November 27th, the beloved meme and token on Harmony ONE blockchain, SMUG, has reclaimed its top position as the top gainer on Harmony Ecosystem list on CoinGecko.

Its competitors, KURO and FLOKI ONE, coins that have launched on Harmony much earlier than SMUG, have trailed behind this week, and reached new all-time lows. Some investors have speculated that they are a better buy than SMUG, but it would seem that other investors have voted with their wallets for SMUGDOGE instead.

One of the reasons for this might be that SMUGDOGE is the only meme token fully featured on CoinGecko with its entire market cap and circulating supply listed. While it has fallen on dire straits in the past few weeks, as has much of the Harmony altcoin market, it would seem that the developer’s perseverance as well as that of its community, most notably the CMs bearing the “OG Smuggie” title, has instilled some new-found faith in the project and the direction it is heading towards.

CoinGecko - SMUGDOGE

Another key factor that might have aided this rally was the fact that they seem to be inching ever nearer towards getting a 50 thousand dollar grant from the “500 launches ($20 million)” Harmony Ecosystem Incubator Launchpad program, which seeks to motivate new developers to innovate on the ONE blockchain. SMUG now sits comfily at around 330k USD market cap, rebounding off the losses it suffered during the middle of the month, which have most likely stemmed from it being overheated in dog-eat-dog market, which the BTC and ETH plummets seem to have confirmed. ONE, the blockchain’s native currency, has also seen a steep 30% decrease; from 38 cents on October 26th to about 26 cents at the time of writing this article.

Furthermore, the key differentiating factor that SMUG has over its competitors on Harmony mainnet is the fact that it rewards its holders for simply holding SMUG. Each time someone buys or sells SMUG, 5% of that transaction’s value is distributed proportionately to all the other SMUG holders. This encourages the so-called ‘diamond hands’ mode of holding an investment, and allows for long-term, value investing, as opposed to quick get-rich-quick schemes. The coin itself, also, has over 100 thousand dollars worth of locked liquidity in the DefiKingdoms (a play-to-earn game that also doubles as a DEX, decentralized exchange) liquidity pools, and therefore the coin is rugpull-prone. This ensures price stability over the long term.

SMUGDOGE - CoinGecko

On the graphs above, you can see how well SMUG has faired in comparison with the other two prolific ONE dog coins. Both KURO and FLOKI ONE have reached new all-time lows, whereas SMUG is over 300% from its all-time low of 23 days ago, offering an unprecedented return on investment for doggy coin afficionados on the ONE blockchain. Furthermore, check out their extensive bounty program on their website, as they have hefty bounties even for those who are not investing money, but rather their free time.
