The Future of Public Transportation is Here Now! Transportation is a personal issue shared by us all. To get around, shop, commute, get to the airport, we use a combination of cars, buses, trains, however, all have their share of drawbacks from wasted time in traffic, pollution, and 30%-50% of urban land is dedicated just for transportation. Transit X builds and operates privately financed public transit podways that can transform cities and metropolitan areas to be green and walkable. A podway is an automated transit network with the convenience, capacity, and cost to replace cars, buses, trains, trucks, ferries, and short flights. Transit X is the silver bullet for transportation. Our guest, Mike Stanley, Founder of Transit X will enlighten us how ‘podways’ can safely provide the convenience and privacy we have in our cars, the high capacity achieved with buses and trains, the time compression from planes and is as sustainable to our environment as bicycles.

Facebook brought its global Boost with Facebook event back to Atlanta on Sept. 10 and the event was a huge success. Facebook welcomed over 1500 Atlanta community members to the Southern Exchange Ballroom and kicked off the two-day digital skills training event to empower small-business owners with the tools and resources they need to build their business. A panel of Atlanta small businesses walked through their own experiences and shared how they use these skills every day in their business. Panelists included: (L to R)  Maranda Walker-Dowell (Joes Gourmet) Nate Martin (Magnolia Room Tucker) and Farrah Haidar (Seven Sisters Scones) join Alexandra Duffield from Facebook (moderating panel) on a discussion on how having digital skills have helped their businesses. Joes Gourmet - Maranda Walker-Dowell Maranda came up with the idea of packaging a ready to cook breading mix about three years ago and the business has been growing ever since. Facebook and Instagram have been key to their growth, as they are trying to drive traffic to their e-commerce so they can sell their 12 oz fish fried package nationwide. They use advanced tools to target their audiences, the Facebook Pixel and Dynamic Ads being the most notable. Creating Custom and Lookalike audiences have made it easier to reach the right audience. Thanks to their success and community involvement they have been featured in Shark Tank and Good Morning America. Seven Sisters Scones - Farrah Haidar Seven Sisters Scones started their business in 2015, when one of seven sisters (who was actually a chef) decided to start selling her delicious scones. The business has expanded from selling simply scones to a cafe where they have a full breakfast and lunch menu. The scones have become so popular that Farrah decided to build an ecommerce business to start selling nationwide. Magnolia Room Tucker - Nate Martin Magnolia Room Tucker was created to pay homage to a restaurant called “S & S Cafeteria”, which the owner was a patron for 15 years. Nate said that the owner saw that people were going to lose a great restaurant to visit and work at, so he bought the business, moved it to Tucker, and even hired on at least 20-25 of the staff. While they have some local competition that has been in business for over 60 years, and Nate says that if it wasn't for Facebook, Magnolia Room would not have survived. A Facebook representative also presented the latest tips and tricks for businesses on the platform. Participants learned best practices on connecting with more customers, creating ads to increase conversions, managing a digital presence and building awareness of a brand. Learn more at:   https://www.facebook.com/boost While at the event we interviewed Veronica Twombly, Head of Small Business Communications at Facebook. Facebook brought its global Boost with Facebook event back to Atlanta and the event was a huge success. Facebook welcomed over 1,500 Atlanta community members to the Southern Exchange Ballroom and kicked off the two-day digital skills training event to empower small-business owners with the tools and resources they need to build their business. There are more than 1 million small businesses in Georgia. 99.7 percent of companies based here have fewer than 500 employees 94.1 percent have less than 50 As part of our pledge to train 1 million small business owners and individuals by 2020, we want to make sure each and every one of them has the tools and tactics to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace. When we spoke to the Georgia small business community about the most important factors when hiring employees, more than 8 in 10 (81%) said an individual's digital skills were important. More than 6 in 10 (64%) said that Facebook is essential for their business. More than 5 in 10 (51%) said that the platform has helped them hire additional employees and nearly 8 in 10 (79%) said that Facebook allows them to r...

J. J. Haas Author of Welcome to Sugarville on Author Talk Show Guest BIO:  J. J. Haas, author of Welcome to Sugarville, has published fiction and poetry in a wide variety of magazines such as Shenandoah, Rattle, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Asimov's Science Fiction, Baen's Universe, and Writer's Digest. He is a Senior Content Developer at ADP and a Fellow of the Society for Technical Communication, and he has been an Instructor in the Creative Writing Certificate Program at Emory Continuing Education. Haas is a graduate of the College of the University of Chicago in English Language and Literature and a Past President of the Alumni Club of Atlanta. He lives in a suburb of Atlanta with his wife Melissa and two Westies, Roro and Coco. Brief Description:  Welcome to Sugarville: A Novel in Stories Topics to Discuss:  My book Creative writing in general 1.What is the name of the book and when was it published? Welcome to Sugarville: A Novel in Stories will be published on April 9 in softcover, ebook, and audiobook formats following the book launch at The Carter Center in Atlanta. I recorded the audiobook myself after turning our daughter’s old closet into a recording studio, and ACX recently approved the files for upload to Audible.com. 2.What’s the book’s first line? The first line of the first story is “Dr. Albert Cole woke up thirsty,” which serves as a metaphor for the spiritual paucity of the protagonist. Kurt Vonnegut once said “Make your characters want something right away even if it's only a glass of water.” I decided to take that advice literally. 3.What’s the book about? Give us the “pitch”. Welcome to Sugarville, a town where fantasy meets reality and visitors take journeys of the imagination into the unknown. J. J. Haas stuns and delights with this engaging collection of linked stories. 4.What inspired you to write the book? A particular person? An event? My primary inspiration for writing fiction is the black humor of Kurt Vonnegut and Flannery O’Connor. I particularly like the surface simplicity of their writing coupled with the deeper metaphorical and ironic meaning. I modeled the structure of my collection on Sherwood Anderson’s book Winesburg, Ohio, with each story set in the mythical town of Sugarville, Georgia. Thematically, all of the characters embark on spiritual journeys to find themselves, and each story contains a fantastic element that heightens the drama. 5.What’s the main reason someone should really read this book? People should be interested in reading my book because it will make them laugh and give them something to think about. I hope they’ll take away a renewed interest in examining their own lives by vicariously experiencing the events in this book through the eyes of my characters. While fantasy stories are typically set in an imagined past and science-fiction stories are typically set in an imagined future, these stories are set in a re-imagined present that sheds light on the spiritual dilemmas of our time. 6.(*For fictional titles only) What's the most distinctive thing about the main character? Who-real or fictional-would you say the character reminds you of? I affectionately refer to the characters in my book as my “Sugarvillains.” They aren’t really bad people at all, but lost souls searching for meaning and dignity in their lives with sometimes comic, sometimes tragic results. All of the characters are based on people I’ve met in real life, but the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Our core mission is to create a community of women who collectively stand together, to change the world. Today's society simply does not promote collaboration or unity among women. Instead, women are constantly fed negative news, stories, and images that do quite the opposite. overcomeHER was created as not just another organization that is trying to empower women; our goal is to unify ALL women and create a cultural change! Upon our launch, we started the #overcomeHERcampaign where women from all walks of life shared their stories and testimonies as we believe with vulnerability, comes strength. We strive to create authentic events and products that encourage servant leadership among women. Our events are not meant to be a one-time stop, but a place to feel at home in which our members can truly grow and become the best “HER”. Our sole duty is to lead by example so that all women can become their best in every aspect of life: career, lifestyle, relationship and spiritual paths.
