Retired United Airlines flight attendant Paul "Paulie" Veneto walked a beverage cart from Boston to Ground Zero in New York City to honor the flight attendants and other crew members killed on 9/11.   Paulie's initial intention was to make sure the world honored and remembered his colleagues, the men, and women of Flight 175. This journey was for them. It was also a way for him to remind the victims' families their loved ones were not forgotten.   However, Paulie quickly discovered that he was impacting the lives of countless others who followed him on his journey. During his time on the road, people would walk alongside him and share personal stories about their lives, particularly the struggles they faced.   Paulie had a GPS on the beverage cart so people could track exactly what street he was on from Boston all the way to lower Manhattan.    At one point, Paulie recalled a woman driving to his exact location in the rain so she could tell him the story of how her daughter donated a kidney to her. No one, including Paulie's friends who followed alongside him in a Jeep and RV, expected this to happen.   Flight attendants that Paulie once worked with and many of his family members joined him for the final mile in Manhattan. It wasn't an easy task for Paulie, but it was something he felt "obligated to do."    He arrived at Ground Zero at 1:15 p.m. on September 11.   Learn more about Paulie at PauliesPush.com. Follow him on Instagram and Facebook.   Remarkable Quote:   “Don't quit five minutes before the miracle.”   Find Us Online!

Founder & CEO of Space Dream Productions, Koura Linda grew up notorious for her elaborate crepe-paper birthday party decorations and painting murals on the walls of her bedroom.  She always loved anything creative, and started writing out character development and script ideas and shot lists in her composition notebooks as a kid and was working as an art teacher's assistant as soon as she could legally hold a job. Fast forward about a decade, after stumbling in with an art department crew one summer, she quickly fell in love with production design and spent the next 10 years working on set and event design, eventually getting into full production design. She never went to film school, or art school, or college at all, but she knew that production design entails more than just the set. So, she studied acting and writing and camera and lighting, working as a day-player where she could, eventually taking a 3-day rigging intensive to become a certified set rigger and later working with electric, rigging lights on concert stages across LA. When she wasn't 50 feet in the air on a truss rig she'd helped build, she was studying design and make-up and wardrobe, eventually moving up to Art Director and then Production Designer then Event Producer for large private events, soon followed by work in various music videos, TV shows, and films. Following a sudden and critical medical event, Koura was forced to reevaluate her life and decide how she was to move forward with physical limitations which inhibited most of her prior activities. Determined to continue in film, with such a strong background and familiarity across so many departments and tons of hands-on experience in business and film, it was a small jump to land back on her feet in producing and directing, eventually starting a small independent production company. Since September 2016, just under 30 completed Space Dream Productions projects have received over 150 award nominations and have won 51 awards, including 12 projects nominated for or winning "Best Picture" categories at festivals around the world. Both Koura and her partner and husband, Spaceship, have been awarded Best Director for multiple different short films. She has been recognized as a contributing artist to two Emmy Award winning projects through her work for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's open collaborative production platform, hitRECord. In August 2019, Koura was also awarded the Mico Award in Las Vegas for Innovation, Courage, and Excellence in her career thus far as an independent filmmaker.   You can find Koura on Instagram, LinkedIn, as well as her Website.   Remarkable Quote:   “You're only as good as the network that you have and of the people that you have surrounding you.”   Find Us Online!

During the pandemic of 2020, she repeatedly received requests from organizations for her help in ensuring that their customer service and sales teams all demonstrated the proper messaging needed to manage these unprecedented events.

Camille assists organizations to both identify keys to a successful service experience and coach leaders through change management, positively influencing  brand reputation., operations and employee performance. Camilles Keys services translate across industries as every organization is in one form or another in the customer service business. Formerly, Camille served as Vice President, National Customer Relations with Meritage Homes Corporation, a publicly traded national homebuilder for over twenty years. During her tenure, the organization delivered upwards of nine-ten thousand new homes on an annual basis across 11 states.  Camille was responsible for several national key performance areas including the organization's customer satisfaction rating, escalations policies, advocacy initiatives, and companywide customer service training programs. Under her leadership, their customer satisfaction rating improved from 70% to well above 90% and was the recipient of multiple Avid Ratings Customer Satisfaction awards including the prestigious Diamond Award.
