Getting to know music artist Ayye Moe
What’s your Artist name and Where Are you from? Ayye Moe from Washington DC to be exact. Why do you love music? I love a challenge. I stopped playing pro basketball because I was looking for a competitive rush that I hadn’t felt in a while. Back in 2018, I was in my friend’s studio while a couple a singers were recording. I’m listening to these singers and I had a split second where I thought that I couldn’t do what they were doing. The fact that I had that moment of doubt in my mind let me know that that is where I needed to be. I decided to stop playing ball and become a singer in that moment. The rest is history.

The story of musically gifted Sujoy
Sujoy ,Born and raised in New York, has a love for music that dates back to before he could remember. As recounted by his Father, Sujoy as an infant would not be able to sleep unless taken in the car and driven around, music playing, until the sounds would lull him to sleep at night. He began to teach himself how to play guitar, so that he could accompany himself while he sang. Learning to play guitar and sing provided Sujoy with an outlet of expression that he had not known before. Today, Sujoy's love for music is driven by music’s ability to act as an extension of himself which he can share with the world. He creates music in hopes of changing people's lives and everyday moments.

Emotional intelligence boosts business growth and it should be prioritized during economic downturns
Emotional intelligent people can identify, manage, evaluate, and understand their own emotions and the emotions of people they interact with. We can think of emotional intelligence as the combination of your personality, charisma, and social awareness. When Salovey and Mayer two of the global experts created the expression emotional intelligence in 1990, they described it as "a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action." Another way to think of Emotional Intelligence, is to combine, Self-Awareness + Social Awareness, and Self-Management + Relationship Management. No matter what definition you follow, most subject matter experts including TalentSmart, agree that among 33 critical professional skills prioritized, emotional intelligence is the leading differentiator in work and personal performance, and it is responsible for over 60% of people professional’s and personal achievements.
