The modern grifter has a new face. They play video games, create playlists of funnies found online and do unboxings of various types. Once they get enough followers, they are able to make money on free to view videos via monetization.

Working From Home
THE STORY Working first as an elementary school teacher and then as a college professor, I was surrounded by students much of the time. Though fundamentally an introvert, it was fun to explore my extrovert side. The students, especially the little tykes, were a joy to be with and provided plenty of mental stimulus. The rest of the time I indulged my introvert side.

To the people who work to better the world
I have always admired many health care professions and have wanted to work in these areas myself for some time. Primarily because I saw this as one of the few ways I could really apply myself to something I love, not just for a good salary, and not even because I love it, but because I simply wanted to improve the world around me.

Rosemarine Textiles . First Place in Pay It Forward Challenge.
Rosemarine Textiles is a sustainable textile studio based in Detroit, Michigan run by me, Meghan Navoy. We make hand torn silk ribbons, scrunchies, table runners, napkins and scarves using the rich, complex colors of plant based dyes. Each piece is made by hand in our Detroit studio using processes that take many days to achieve the perfect color. I am passionate about creating beautiful textile pieces in a way that respects both people and the planet. It's important to me to utilize what would otherwise be waste material - whether working with local restaurants for dye producing food scraps and florists for day old blooms. We do our best to incorporate our values of environmental sustainability in every aspect of our business. This includes recycling and reducing water in our dye process, to composting dye materials, banking with a small local bank, and sourcing from almost entirely woman-owned businesses. You can view more about our sustainability practices on our website here.

Have you ever felt like it is just you against the world? Have you had to struggle with yourself to get up, show up and do everything that is required from you on a daily basis, no matter how hard that might be?

After working hard during his school years and with the guidance of a few key figures along the way, Gil was able to graduate college and segue into a successful career as an economic development professional, serving at the highest levels of both state and municipal governments in his home state.
