Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 123-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,126 on turnover of 5-billion N-T. The market moved sharply lower on Monday - losing more than 340 points - amid ongoing investor concerns over the United States' tariff policies after President Donald Trump accused China of violating a preliminary trade deal with Washington. Sports agency warns CTTTA for revoking athlete's WTT US Smash slot The Sports Administration has issued a formal warning to the Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Association and announced the suspension of subsidies unrelated to training and competitions. The move comes after the association revoked (撤銷) Yeh Yi-tian's place at the World Table Tennis U-S Smash tournament scheduled for July. Deputy Education Minister Chang Liao Wan-jien says the incident harmed Yeh's right to participate in competitions, and the association failed to actively respond to public concerns. While Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee says Premier Cho Jung-tai is calling on national sports associations to listen to athletes and their coaches in regards the scheduling of events. EVA Air joins IATA's Turbulence Aware Platform to enhance flight safety EVA Airways has signed a cooperation agreement with the International Air Transport Association to join its Turbulence Aware platform - which seeks to improve flight safety through real-time data sharing. Airline President Clay Sun says the carrier believes that joining the program will help pilots and dispatchers better analyze real-time data, plan and choose appropriate flight paths to avoid areas with higher turbulence (亂流) risks, and ensure passenger safety. The agreement was signed by Sun and International Air Transport Association Director General Willie Walsh during the association's three-day annual general meeting in New Delhi this past weekend. The International Air Transport Association says participating airlines generated a total of 51.8-million turbulence reports in 2024, a 35-per cent increase from 2023, which is highly beneficial in reducing the damage caused by turbulence. UN Elects ExGerman FM as Assembly President The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly elected Germany's former foreign minister Annalena Baerbock to be the next head of the 193-member world body. The vote was held Monday by a secret-ballot demanded by Russia. Russia objected to Baerbock, accusing her of having pursued (從事，實行) an “anti-Russia policy,” Baerbock will replace the current assembly president at the start of the 80th session in September.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports Caribbean Dust Cloud Heads Towards US A massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert is blanketing most of the Caribbean in the biggest event of its kind this year as it heads toward the United States. Experts say the cloud extends some 3,200 kilometers from Jamaica to well past Barbados in the eastern Caribbean, and some 1,200 kilometers from the Turks and Caicos Islands in the northern Caribbean down south to Trinidad and Tobago. The hazy (霧濛濛的) skies unleashed sneezes, coughs and watery eyes across the Caribbean. Forecasters say the plume is expected to hit Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi late this week and into the weekend. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

SCRIPT:Amateur Radio Newsline Report 2471 for Friday, March 7th, 2025 Amateur Radio Newsline Report Number 2471 with a release date of Friday, March 7th, 2025 to follow in 5-4-3-2-1.The following is a QST. A survey reveals some important trends in Brazilian amateur radio. Huntsville's new museum of communications and technology is open -- and the founder of the Hurricane Watch Net becomes a Silent Key. All this and more as Amateur Radio Newsline Report Number 2471 comes your way right now.** BILLBOARD CART**SURVEY GIVES DETAILED SNAPSHOT OF HAM RADIO IN BRAZILPAUL/ANCHOR: Our top story takes us to Brazil where a recent survey is providing a detailed look at trends among hams in South America's largest nation. Jeremy Boot G4NJH shares some of its findings.JEREMY: An important snapshot of the state of amateur radio in Brazil has provided the national ham radio society and the telecommunications regulator with insights into relevant trends. The sampling of 940 hams in 27 states and 350 cities was conducted in May of 2024 by Guillermo Crimerius, PY2BIL, a member of the board of the Sao Paulo chapter of LABRE, the Liga de Amadores Brasileiros de Rádio Emissão. Guillermo told Newsline that the findings are also being shared with the regulator ANATEL.He said that the findings held no surprises but many details were nonetheless significant. Brazil's ham radio community remains predominantly male, with women comprising only 2 percent of the hobby. Survey results also showed that hams are an aging population in Brazil: 72% are between 40 and 70 years old, with most of them between 40 and 60. While new licensees continue to join Brazil's ham community every year, there is low membership in clubs and associations, giving little opportunity for the networking and skills training usually provided by them. Guillermo writes: [quote] "This scenario has had an impact on new generations of hams,who face difficulties in learning the essential technical matters and especially the operational and cultural activities." [endquote]For a full copy of the report, which is downloadable, visit the link in the text version of this week's newscast at arnewsline.orgThis is Jeremy Boot G4NJH.(GUILLERMO CRIMERIUS, PY2BIL)**NOMINATE THE NEXT "YOUNG HAM OF THE YEAR"PAUL/ANCHOR: We remind our listeners that young hams who live in the continental United States have an opportunity to make news, if they aren't already doing so, by being a recipient of this year's Amateur Radio Newsline Bill Pasternak Memorial Young Ham of the Year Award. Consider nominating an amateur radio operator 18 years of age or younger -- someone who has talent, promise and a commitment to the spirit of ham radio. Find application forms on our website arnewsline.org under the "YHOTY" tab. Nominations are now open. We are accepting nominations through May 31st.**BRANDMEISTER DMR PHASING OUT SOME RADIO IDSPAUL/ANCHOR: Certain Radio IDs that have been in use on the Brandmeister DMR network are going away later this year. Sel Embee KB3TZD explains.SEL: The Brandmeister DMR network has announced that it is phasing out its support of certain Radio IDs that do not comply with the Mobile Country Code, or MCC, numbering system. This means that by June, radio operators with certain DMR IDs will need to request new numbers to be assigned to their radios. The first phase of these changes will begin on the 1st of June, when Brandmeister will stop supporting five-digit CAP+ IDs. Starting on the 1st of January, 2026, radios with seven-digit personal radio IDs that begin with the numeral 1 will also stop working on the network. In making this announcement, Brandmeister assured repeater operators that it will continue indefinite support of repeaters that have six-digit radio IDs.Brandmeister said in its announcement in late February that this an effort to address improperly numbered Radio IDs – something Brandmeister has been trying to contain for seven years. It said on its website: [quote] The Brandmeister DMR platform is a constantly evolving system, requiring regular optimizations and maintenance to ensure its efficiency, reliability, and alignment with global open standards.” [Endquote]New IDs can be obtained through Radio ID (Radio Eye Dee) dot net (Radioid.net).For further instructions visit the Brandmeister link that appears in the text version of this week's newscast at arnewsline.orgThis is Sel Embee KB3TZD.[DO NOT READ: news.brandmeister.network](NEWS.BRANDMEISTER.NETWORK, AMATEUR NEWS DAILY)**3 IRISH "KILMOLIN CLUSTER" BEACONS GO QRT TO RELOCATEPAUL/ANCHOR: A trio of beacons in Ireland have been taken out of service in preparation for being moved, as we hear from Jeremy Boot G4NJH.JEREMY: In Ireland, three beacons that have been operating from a site south of Dublin have gone QRT to allow for their relocation. The EI4RF, EI1KNH and EIØSIX beacons have been part of what is known as the Kilmolin cluster. They had been hosted by Paddy Geoghegan, EI5HS, who became a Silent Key last year.The beacons, which have a new owner, went off the air in mid-February and are expected to slowly come back. According to reports on groups.io and the SWLing Post blog, the EI4RF 4-metre beacon is expected to be the first to return, perhaps by May just as sporadic-E season begins. The EIØSIX beacon is expected to follow sometime afterward on 6-metres. It was unclear how and when service will be restored on the EI1KHN beacon, which operated on 40 and 60 MHz. It is also unclear whether this beacon will need to be assigned a new callsign.This is Jeremy Boot GF4NJH.(EI7GI BLOG, QRZ.COM, SWLING POST)**UNIVERSITY IS W. BENGAL'S 1ST TO HAVE HAM CLUB STATIONPAUL/ANCHOR: Students and faculty in India are celebrating the establishment of the first state-of-the-art shack on a West Bengal state university campus. Graham Kemp VK4BB tells us more.GRAHAM: Aliah University, a state university that created for the education of many of India's minority populations, is about to become the first university in West Bengal with its own state-of-the-art ham radio club station.The announcement was made in late February in connection with a seminar held on the Kolkata campus introducing students and faculty to various aspects of amateur radio. The one-day session, held on the 24th of February, covered emergency communications and radio technology and included hands-on experience for the estimated 250 attendees. It was led by members of the West Bengal Radio Club, the Indian Academy of Communication and Disaster Management and organized by the school's Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. A number of other schools have hosted similar amateur radio workshops throughout the region, which is a coastal area subject to violent storms and other natural disasters that rely on alternate forms of communication. This is Graham Kemp VK4BB.(MILLENNIUM POST)**BROADCAST TRADE SHOW DROPS RECEPTION FOR HAMSPAUL/ANCHOR: Hams will no doubt be among those visiting the National Association of Broadcasters annual trade show again this year but something will be missing, as we learn from Ralph Squillace KK6ITB.RALPH: The annual trade show of the National Association of Broadcasters is welcoming industry professionals once again this year to Las Vegas in April. One traditional event will be missing from this year's show, however: There will be no separate reception for amateur radio operators.Hams, of course, are still welcome. Indeed, many broadcast professionals - especially those on the engineering side - enjoy an active and robust time on the air on the amateur bands. A posting on the Radio World website said that this year's ham reception was not on the schedule. The reception had been hosted for a long time by Bob Heil K9EID, who became a Silent Key last year.The article said that organizers are hoping to [quote] "reinvent the event for next year by exploring fresh partnerships and innovative ideas." [endquote]In the meantime, licensed hams who work in the industry can still look forward to the usual opportunities for networking and learning about new technology. The NAB Show takes place between April 5th and 9th at the Las Vegas Convention Center.This is Ralph Squillace KK6ITB.(RADIO WORLD)**BREAK HERE: Time for you to identify your station. We are the Amateur Radio Newsline, heard on bulletin stations around the world including the WB3GXW repeater in Silver Spring, Maryland and simultaneously on EchoLink Conference Server Node 6154 on Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 7 PM Eastern time.**DX INDIA FOUNDATION PREPARES FOR DXPEDITIONNEIL/ANCHOR: In India, there's a new DX foundation that has lots of energy and ambition - and plans for a rarely activated island. We learn more from Jason Daniels VK2LAW.JASON: It's still early in the game for the newly organized not-for-profit DX India Foundation but the team has already announced ambitious plans to increase India's presence on the DX map. As part of its mission to activate rare IOTA islands, conduct DXpeditions and provide DX and POTA chasers with a chance to work different entities in India, the team has its sights set on Arnala Island, IOTA number AS-169, which is near Mumbai. According to an announcement from the team, the island has had no amateur radio activity since 2006. Hams from the DX India Foundation have applied to use the callsign AU2M and hope to be on the air from the 29th of May through to the 1st of June. Later plans include a 10-day adventure to the Lakshadweep archipelago off the coast of Kerala [CARE-ruh-luh] in southern India.The DX India Foundation has also established an online forum in groups.io to encourage a sense of international community for chasers and activators. In between trips, the foundation's activity will be focused on training and mentoring other radio operators.This is Jason Daniels VK2LAW.(DX INDIA FOUNDATION)**HUNTSVILLE'S ‘SIGNALS' MUSEUM OPENS IN ALABAMAPAUL/ANCHOR: Huntsville, Alabama, home of the Huntsville Hamfest, has a new way to celebrate technology and, of course, amateur radio. To welcome the museum and honor the spirit and advancements made in technology, Newsline is departing from the norm this week. This report is being read via artificial intelligence and a correspondent known as AI-Drew.AI-DREW: On March 1st, the SIGNALS Museum of Information Explosion opened its doors to what founders hope will be an immersive and hands-on environment for visitors. The museum, housed a short drive from where the Huntsville Hamfest is held each year, has an array of exhibits devoted to communications technology in all its forms throughout history. Amateur radio operators who are visiting will be particularly interested in the ham shack, a welcoming space for regional radio clubs and other radio operators to meet or work on building equipment. The museum also has an on-site radio tower.Whether you live in the area or plan to visit Huntsville this year, the museum will welcome you. Visit their website at signals hyphen museum dot org. (signals-museum.org)This is AI-Drew.(SIGNALS MUSEUM)**SILENT KEY: GERRY MURPHY, K8YUW, FOUNDER OF THE HURRICANE WATCH NETPAUL/ANCHOR: Atlantic hurricane season is still a few months away but hams and forecasters will be going forward into this year's season without the man who created the Hurricane Watch Net 60 years ago. He has become a Silent Key, as we hear from Randy Sly W4XJ.RANDY: It can be said that the seeds of the Hurricane Watch Net were planted in 1965 as Hurricane Betsy raged its way through the Bahamas, making landfall in the US that September. Gerald Murphy, K8YUW, who was stationed by the US Navy in Rhode Island at the time, was also handling messages and phone patches for the Intercontinental Amateur Radio Net. When hurricane-specific traffic started to overwhelm the regular net's messages on their 20m frequency, Gerry suggested that those messages be handled 5 kHz higher. Marcy Rice, KZ5MM, who was in the Panama Canal Zone QSY'd with him up to 14.325 MHz and that was the genesis of the Hurricane Watch Net.The net has become the backbone of a robust communications system during storm season. Trained hams share advisories, data and post-storm damage information in affected areas with national hurricane centers in the US and, when needed, Canada.Gerry, who became a Silent Key on the 25th of February at the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky, leaves behind this vibrant legacy. He served as net manager from September of 1965 until February of 1988, staying on afterward as assistant net manager. Health issues compelled him to retire from the net in March 1991.The Hurricane Watch Net has been planning an on-air special event in September to mark its 60th anniversary. Net manager Bobby Graves,KB5HAV, told Newsline [quote] "I was hoping and praying Jerry would make it to see his creation's 60th Anniversary this coming Labor Day....We will endeavor to make it even more special." [endquote]Gerry was 88.This is Randy Sly W4XJ.(BOBBY GRAVES, KB5HAV; EDDIE MISIEWICZ, KB3YRU)**WORLD OF DXIn the World of DX, Chris, WA7RAR, is on the air until the 16th of March from Barbados, IOTA Number NA-ØØ21. He is using the callsign 8P9CB, operating SSB and CW on 20-10 metres. Some of his locations are POTA sites. See QRZ.com for QSL details.Rockwell, WW1X, is using the callsign VP5/WW1X from Providenciales, IOTA Number NA-ØØ2 in the Turks and Caicos Islands from the 8th through to the 15th of March. This is a QRP operation using only SSB, although Rockwell has not ruled out occasional use of FT8. QSL via LoTW.Listen for Aldir, PY1SAD, who is using the callsign 8R1TM from Georgetown, Guyana, between the 11th of March and the 26th of April. Aldir is using CW, SSB and the digital modes on the HF bands. He is also operating via satellite. See QRZ.com for QSL details.Members of the Korean Amateur Radio League are on the air in March and April to celebrate the centenary of the International Amateur Radio Union. They are using the callsign HL1ØØIARU. See QRZ.com for QSL details.(425 DX BULLETIN)**KICKER: ECHOES OF A DIFFERENT WAY TO LEARN CWPAUL/ANCHOR: We end this week's report with an alternate way in which some hams in New Zealand got to learn and practice CW while having real QSOs. We'll let Jim Meachen ZL2BHF explain how it happened.JIM: If you've ever wondered whether Echolink is a viable mode for teaching or learning CW, just ask Ted ZL1BQA, who is proud to have logged a respectable number of CW contacts during the recent Jock White Memorial Field Day in New Zealand. Studying CW for almost a year with the Franklin Amateur Radio Club, Ted was able to restart his long-ago code skills in sessions led by the club president Peter Henderson ZL1PX. It was done over Echolink.Ted had enrolled last May along with three younger members who were first-time learners - Francois, ZL4FJ, Steve, ZL1TZP and Steve ZL1SPR. With only Ted able to copy Peter's signal over HF, the club followed a suggestion made by Gary ZL1GAC: try Echolink, a computer-based ham radio mode that incorporates VoIP technology. Loading CW software onto his computer, Peter was able to send the code intended for each session, confident that everyone had an equal chance of copying clearly.Weekly sessions soon expanded to twice a week as the students concentrated on letters, then numbers - and eventually basic punctuation.After a break in the action, the club is back on Echolink with CW sessions three nights a week. As for Ted, he's on a roll. Peter told Newsline in an email that he has resumed making CW contacts on a daily basis on HF using the Vibroplex that once collected dust instead of QSOs.This is Jim Meachen ZL2BHF.(QUA, Peter Henderson, ZL1PX)**Have you sent in your amateur radio haiku to Newsline's haiku challenge yet?

For this episode, Clare shares what it is about Turks and Caicos that makes it so special. She shares details of the best beaches, where to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles, take a glass bottom boat tour, go snorkelling, kayaking, fishing and much more. As well as explaining the most affordable and convenient ways to see the islands and where to find the best food. KEY TAKEAWAYS Turks and Caicos is made up of about 40 islands so there is plenty to see and do there. Only 8 of the islands are inhabited. The main islands form two distinct groups. Turks has 2 inhabited islands – Gran Turk and Salt Cay, the remaining 6 make up the Caicos island group. All of the beaches are open to the public, including those that are next to hotels and private villas. Mini car taxi services enable you to share the cost of travel with others.

Can a group of Caribbean islands become the Estonia of the region, looked up to on digital transformation and service delivery? E. Jay Saunders thinks so – for both citizens and businesses. He is the former Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance, Investment, and Trade of the Turks and Caicos Islands. And at the 10th e-Governance Conference, by all rights took part in a panel on enlightened digital leadership.In this episode, Saunders takes us through what digitalisation means for small countries in the area. Between breaking down barriers to better access digital markets, and providing citizens with a 24/7 experience of government that has nothing to envy from what they see in countries – on paper and volume of state revenue – with larger availability of resources and capital.

Tune in now to hear all the details!  Episode Transcript Our podcast is produced as an audio resource. Transcripts are generated using speech recognition software and human editing and may contain errors. Before republishing quotes, we ask that you reference the audio. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check-in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree. We are here for another exciting episode in our Suite Spot Spotlight series. So, one of my favorite series that we've done so far on this podcast. It takes us literally all around the world, which I'm gonna, we're gonna talk about today. But for those that might be, this might be your first time hearing the Spotlight series. This is where we travel and showcase and highlight some of the industry's most unique and iconic hotels. This property that we're gonna talk about today, as it is the most anticipated openings in 2025. And here to talk about it with me is Michael Tibbetts, Chairman, CEO of JEM Worldwide. Michael, thank you so much for being on the Suite Spot with me today. Michael Tibbetts : Thank you, Ryan. I'm really grateful to be here. Ryan Embree: We're gonna talk a lot about Salterra in this amazing project that you and your team have going on right now. But before we jump into this, this is your first time on the Suite Spot. We always love to hear kind of hospitality journeys, right? You know, how we got into this incredible industry and ultimately led you to working on this Salterra project, but to JEM Worldwide. So tell us a little bit about your background. Michael Tibbetts : I would say I have an unusual background for hospitality and development. Really, my origin story starts way back in the 1700's, believe it or not, my family is from the Cayman Islands, a British overseas territory. Going back many generations, my great-grandfather was a ship builder, and my grandfather eventually immigrated to the United States. And through that connection in the Cayman Islands, our family started developing resorts there on the small islands of little Cayman and Cayman Brack. Although our family was in hospitality, I chose a different course earlier in my career. I actually went to medical school, studied molecular biology in college, became an eye surgeon, and wove a very strange path back to hospitality. Through some family circumstances, I decided that hospitality development and the team that we were building was just too exciting to forego. So I stepped out of my private ophthalmology practice about eight years ago and devoted myself full-time to helping to lead our resorts in the Cayman Islands, and then also in the Turks and Caicos Islands now. So an unusual path, but I'm really grateful, learned a lot of lessons as a physician that I carry forward now in team building and working together, learning to work hard and follow through. But it's definitely an unusual path, but I'm really grateful for the journey. Ryan Embree: Well, unusual paths in our industry really aren't too out of the ordinary, to be honest with you. I will say this was the first time that I've heard a hospitality journey start in the 1700's though. So, really unique fact. But that's awesome. And, and like I said, we've had a lot of industry leaders on this podcast talk about how they've made their way to hospi...

Join Queen Erinidas alongside Weer'd Beard, Oddball, Xander, and David as they take a stroll to the Hot Gates of the NRA Annual Meeting and discuss: signs at the NRA Annual Meeting that the corruption is still around, but the members are clearly wising up and taking the NRA to task for it;; Donald Trump's speech at NRAAM, which was more of the usual and with minimal talk of gun rights; the possibility of Ronnie Barrett of Barrett Firearms becoming the next NRA Executive Vice President (but the day after recording this we discovered that Barrett didn't win); more tourists arrested in the Turks and Caicos Islands for having a few pieces of ammunition in their luggage;. the 9th Circuit Court striking down Hawaii's butterfly knife ban; firearm prohibitionist politicians turning on the dubious Shot Spotter technology, citing racism; a Federal court issuing a temporary restraining order against the ATF's change in the "Engaging in the Business of Selling Firearms" law; legislation introduced in Congress to remove the $200 tax stamp requirement for SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors; another NFA challenge regarding suppressors that are made in Texas and stay in Texas; another surprising rule by the 9th Circuit, where one judge in three ruled that felons aren't part of "The People"; plus the usual silliness and side-tracking that happens with Round Tables.

The first episode of season two of "Let's Get Candid" with host Ziggy Fulford and co-host Lori Hall welcomed international vocalist Tess Charles as their guest. Tess Charles, hailing from the Capital Isle of Grand Turk in the Turks & Caicos Islands and with Jamaican and Vincentian heritage, shared her remarkable journey to stardom. Her stage name, TESS, carries a special meaning as it stands for "Tell Someone Something," a phrase popularized by local residents who encouraged sharing information with the police following a tragic incident in 2013. Despite holding a degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management and having a promising career in the hotel industry, Tess felt a calling that she could no longer ignore. After three years of headlining TCI's hottest events and successfully serving as the executive producer of her first Jazz and Soul show in November 2015, TESS made the bold decision to transition into a full-time performer.While she channels the soulful tunes of legends like Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, TESS draws inspiration from her island influences to create her original music. Her versatility is evident as she delves into Soca and Rip Saw, releasing her self-written track "Daa'n My Business" on the "Grace Bay Riddim," produced by Jovano "Stutters" Robinson, a native of Middle Caicos, TCI. Tess Charles is a multi-talented artist who refuses to be confined to a single genre. She remains dedicated to her love for Jazz and Soul, and she aims to keep the world grooving to her music while introducing them to the distinctive TCI flavor of Rip Saw. This episode of "Let's Get Candid" provided a captivating glimpse into Tess Charles's journey, her resilience, and the power of embracing one's true calling despite the odds.

We are going to drop into a whole new kind of location on the WASP, the Turks and Caicos Islands, near the Bahamas. Drexwell Seymour was raised in this British possession into a family with very modest means but not knowing any different, he was a happy child. However, he endured quite a bit of racism while in school, which greatly affected his self-confidence. He threw himself into his studies and graduated high school at the age of 15. He got an incredible break when an American philanthropist awarded Drexwell a scholarship to attend Wilmington College in Ohio, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Business Management in only three years. He then precociously added on an MBA from Miami (Ohio) University by the time he was 19. Armed with these degrees before he turned 20, he returned to his home islands, hoping to get into the hospitality industry. We have all encountered this Catch-22 - he was told he couldn't get into that industry because he didn't have experience. So with his accounting degree, he created his own opportunity in that field, and later eventually started his own firm and became owner of a hotel as well. Suddenly the young man who had been filled with self-doubt was a respected community leader, and his success has springboarded him to become a civic leader in the vexing issues facing his small country, which still has not achieved independence from Britain. It has also led him to writing books and speaking gigs. His first book, Rise Up and Take Your Position: Don't give up. Find your Gift and Cultivate It became an international bestseller on Amazon. He's just released his second book, Succeeding In Your Position: Ten Essential Ingredients for Success that covers how to build self-confidence, deal with everyday challenges, and live passionately and purposefully to achieve all of your goals by detailing the numerous timeless concepts that anyone can use. Among these he teaches is how to find your gift, search for meaning in your life, overcome your fears, how to look at failure as opportunity, and then cultivate your meaning, work on it, and rise up to share it with the world and make you successful. I think you'll enjoy hearing how this dynamic man seized every opportunity given to him and used the gifts that he discovered only through hard work to change his life trajectory and be able to share it with others.Drexwell Seymourdrexwellseymour.cominfo@drexwellseymour.comFacebook Drexwell SeymourInstagram @drexwellgseymourHis books:https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Take-Your-Position-Cultivate/dp/B09JF3W26J/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=https://www.amazon.com/Succeeding-Your-Position-Essential-Ingredients/dp/1637653719/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman Podcast

Despite these academic achievements, Drexwell suffered from an inferiority complex which started from his childhood until four years ago when he discovered his purpose in life which is to inspire, encourage and influence others. During this time of discovery, Drexwell realized that he is great and came into this world for a purpose. He has recently written and published a book called Rise Up and Take Your Position which is found on amazon. He is the managing partner of HLB TCI, an accounting firm that he established in 2013.

I finally touched down for the holidays after a two year hiatus thanks to Rona and all her viruses. Now that I have first-hand experience after my holiday travels home, I can successfully report back and give y'all the 411. My homegirl Juju and her sister Oby also visited around the same time, but they stayed in Provo which is the tourist hot-spot for TCI.
