Red Bull Heir Thrust Into Scandal
Current estimates claim that the Red Bull franchise is worth just over $20 billion dollars. Founded by the late Chaleo Yoovidhya, this company began marketing energy drinks to the local Thai population before expanding its operations to service the entire globe. Red Bull is now a true empire and one of the most popular brands on the planet. This is why any situation which develops into a scandal is bound to garner a fair amount of negative publicity; particularly when referring to individuals who may appear to be able to get away wit a crime due to their high status.

Leadership from First Principles According to Elon Musk
Geoffrey James, in an article on Inc.com describes Musk as a management theorist. James says ‘Musk seems to approach running a business much as he’d approach a complex engineering project: Figure out what works, and do that, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

Black In Business
Growing up I didn't get to see many black creators. Especially from the place that I came. As a Creator this was disappointing. Because I didn't have any real influence to aspire to or want to model my life around. Plus, I fell into (like many other people in my vicinity) the trap of going to school in assimilating into industrial capitalism. As a creator my whole life, this path destroyed my desire to do things. I wasn't one design for a 9-5 or to work as an industry worker. To be assigned and complete tasks by a corporation. I’m a creator, and Innovator, someone who worked at his own pace. I’m someone who created his own lane and was his own boss. So it was amazing for me to discover a creator in college that was closest to me.

Elon Musk's Three Secrets of Success
Elon Musk has had his fair share of negative events: personal and family crises and traumas, and his businesses on the verge of failure. He has expressed that he would either have to be severely incapacitated or dead in order to give up. His ex wife Justine Musk has expressed him as someone who is obsessed with having success, and others have said he focuses on an objective, and does whatever it takes to achieve it. He has his own version of a ‘reality distortion field,’ and encourages others to push beyond what they believe is possible in order to attain an outcome. For example, he has stretch goals: when he was making the Tesla Roadster, he expected the vehicle to get to New York, and then the result was that the car arrived in New Mexico, twice as far as what was expected.

LGBTQ+ characters on our screens changed my life!
Representation of the LGBTQ+ community, not only on our screens but also in music, in theatre, in literature, in the media, feels more present than ever before. But it’s still not enough. ‘Netflix is going through a gay phase,’ is a comment I heard recently. As though it's something temporary and will pass. Here is why we are only just scratching the surface on LGBTQ+ representation.

When Bernie Met Lorraine
If it hadn’t been for Kay, I would have never met Lorraine. It was May of 1963, at the end of my sophomore year at Pratt Institute. Being one of the few Black students, and a full scholarship recipient at that, I was so aware and protective of my place in the college that, two years into my college career, I still rarely ventured off campus. I worked in the campus bookstore when I wasn’t in the library or the art studio, only leaving for required museum visits and professor-suggested gallery openings. I was a fine arts major from Rockford, Illinois, and my knowledge of New York was fairly limited. Yet, I knew it was where I was supposed to be.
