Chicago, IL -- August 28^th, 2020 -- From anxiety, depression and worry, to pandemic pounds, to the work-from-home productivity balancing act, COVID-19 has been tough on the American workforce. With millions of Americans from coast to coast dealing with the negative impacts of the pandemic, employers hoping to retain valued employees need to provide a plan and training for their teams to be able to better handle the wellness challenges they are facing.

Chicago-based corporate and personal growth trainer, Roderick Mason,a corporate training consultant, is uniquely qualified to provide advice to corporate clients and employees. Mason’s training courses, which run from only an hour long to week-long events, balance training that offers a real return on investment for corporate clients, businesses and the C-suite while still being of personal interest and benefit to employees.

“One thing that employers can provide to help employees to reset their negative emotions or their less than healthy coping mechanism, is to keep up with some of the traditions of the office workplace such as the monthly lunch and learn,” explains Mason. “Many of my clients have seen real value in bringing the whole team together over Zoom and engaging my services to deliver a lunchtime wellness seminar. There is profound value is having everyone stop working, focus on the same thing, and applying those newly learned skills to their workday.”

Mason is extensively trained and qualified to deliver the dozens of courses he offers. Through his workshops, keynote addresses, in-person and online sessions, Mason offers diversity and inclusion training, health coaching, empowerment speaking, and DiSC assessment workshops, which provide a non-judgmental tool used to discuss people's behavioral differences. Mason’s training in executive coaching and leadership consulting is also available for business executives and C-suite teams.

“I’ve had many clients contact me to discuss their team’s performance,” explains Mason. “Prior to the pandemic, everyone got along well, there were few interpersonal challenges, the team was productive and were cranking out high-level work product. Now that the employees are working from home, employers are sometimes seeing a lack of communication and cohesion. Much of that can be chalked up to the stress of working in a more challenging environment and having non-direct communication taking over as the primary means of contact. It’s easy to read someone’s body language when they are right in front of you in the office, it’s a lot more difficult to guess the tone and sentiment someone is conveying via email or text message and that’s where some of the friction comes up. The virtual workshops I offer go a long way to helping to sort out those challenges and to bring the team back to the productivity and harmony they once had.”

With more than 25 years of sales and management experience including team building, business transformation, project management and crisis management, Mason has helped numerous teams weather difficult times through his holistic approach to corporate leadership and team training and has guided leaders to navigate through the tough times and help their teams to reach new heights.

From foster care kid to hip hop visionary, Jay Fred brings ‘No Autotune’ to music fans nationwide

---

Baton Rouge, LA, Aug. 26, 2020 -- According to indie hip hop artist Jay Fred, no one from his hometown has ever made it on the national stage.

He wants to change that.

The artist just dropped a new EP, building on several earlier single releases on iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube. “No Autotune” is a five-song EP released through Jay Fred’s record label Self Made Individual (SMI). The album, written, recorded, produced and engineered by Jay Fred himself, includes the tracks "Intro," "War Ready," "Keep a Pump," "G-Shit," and "Pressure Got Applied."

Jay Fred hails from New Roads, Louisiana outside Baton Rouge.

Growing up the child of parents who struggled with illness, Jay Fred was raised in a foster home with his two siblings. From his humble roots, he looked to inspiration from idols like Lil Wayne to create his own vision to become a famous musician.

Today, the versatile hip hop fusion artist produces and writes his own music, plays his own instruments including guitar and piano, and shoots his own music videos. He prides himself on creating a sound not confined to one music genre.

In addition to releasing several recordings, the artist has performed at shows in Atlanta, Mississippi Louisiana and Texas. He will be featured in upcoming collaborative efforts with emerging Louisiana artists Joe Scott, Tweeday, GeauxYella, Doodie Savage, Shon Thang, and many others.

“I wanna reach the world with my real life story,” Jay Fred said. “I wanna be immortal and live forever in people’s hearts. The fortune comes and goes, but to be a successful artist is forever.”

Bettas are strikingly beautiful, intelligent, and fantastic fish with unique personalities.Individuals who share their homes with them believe that interactions with their scaled family members help them deal with stress, tension, anxiety, and depression too. Unfortunately, many bettas never experience life outside of their small plastic tanks in the pet store. Oftentimes, these bettas don’t have ample space to move and are forced to live in unsanitary water with large amounts of ammonia and nitrates. As a result, many bettas develop bacterial infections, fin rot, swim bladder disease, dropsy,and other ailments, and sometimesthey die. Betta Fish Rescue is working hard to rescue and change the lives of betta fish in need by providing them with bigger tanks in which to live and thrive, medication, live plants and Indian almond leaves, and clean dechlorinated water so they can heal.

When it comes to having compassion for living beings, it is pretty apparent that pet fish who live in some grocery stores, pet stores and with private breeders are often neglected. One fish breed that comes to mind is betta fish. These amazing fish are well known among experts for their amazing colors, exceptional intelligence, and almost unheard of personalities. These fish are often referred to as underwater dogs instead of fish. People around the world love these fish and many are committed to improving their lives. It is through the common love of betta fish that Betta Fish Rescue was born. It’s a new charitable organization that is focused on helping bettas in need. This organization provides adoption services and betta fish care tips. is currently seeking 501c3 status and was created to save and rehabilitate as many bettas as possible from individuals, pet stores, and private breeders. Their motto is that every betta deserves a BETTA life with people who love them.

According to Kristi Patrice Carter, JD (founder and executive director), "I started our organization because I wanted to do something for these amazing pets who were living in very horrible conditions and were wasting away." Carter stated, “I love these fish and couldn't just stand by and do nothing. So I organized some friends, who are also fish lovers, and we started this rescue organization in an effort to match bettas with caring family members and teach them how to care for a betta fish. We are enthusiastic about making a positive difference in the lives of these amazing creatures and it is our mission to save as many fish as we can. We also plan to eradicate fish homelessness and careless dying due to improper care by educating people in how to take care of betta fish.”

According to Carter, Betta Fish Rescue focuses on rescuing homeless fish and those often passed up due to their damaged fins or swim bladder conditions and those that are otherwise too sick to be adopted. The organizationchooses those bettas that others pass up in stores to give them a fighting chance at life. The foster parents at Betta Fish Rescue nurse these bettas back to health so they can be adoptedby families who want to give them a BETTA life.

The price of these adoptions is $30, which includes the fish, dechlorinator and premium food. For an additional fee, they also provide a 3.5 gallon tank, décor, live or silk plants, and more. Betta Fish Rescue ships fish to their adoptive families; however, they prefer to hand-deliver the fish via car transport if the adoptive family lives within two to three hours from their main office in Chicago, IL. If shipping is agreed upon, the adoptive parent covers the cost of the fish and any overnight shipping costs.

Betta Fish Rescue is very similar to traditional animal shelters but they're focused solely on betta fish. To date, they've rescued and rehabilitated fifteen bettas and have a goal to save 85 more by the end of the year. They currently spend 25% on marketing and administrative costs and 85% on operating expenses (3.5 gallon or higher tanks, fish food, fish medications, dechlorinator water treatments, tank decor, silk, and live plants, etc.) This rescue organization is very transparent about their expenses and the way they run their organization.
