4Bulls Review: First-To-Market Crypto Trading Software

Right from the start, blockchain enthusiasts have always championed the idea of bringing power back to the people. In a world in which automation is reported to be threatening 25 percent of jobs in the United States, no other time is better suited for bringing back power to the people than now.

Ivan Kv to Begin the Movement in the Crypto Trading Space

Ivan Kv, a crypto influencer from Silicon Valley who is also known for his work at KV LLC (a marketing firm that has brought a lot of awareness to the crypto and blockchain space), is one of the individuals at the forefront of the move to find a balance between automation and the human touch.

Through 4Bulls, a company that Ivan founded, retail crypto traders can receive access to tools that allow them to compete with institutional banking systems on a more level playing field.

At its core, 4Bulls is an all-in-one trading platform that connects traders to external exchanges via API and allows users to maximize their profits with high-power trading and copy trading tools.

Look Into the Past

Kv quickly realized during his first year of trading that “even when using the trading bots and automation tools available in the market, trading effectively was a struggle.” Early solutions that were designed for algorithmic trading were imperfect and difficult to use.

On the 4Bulls platform, while experienced traders can get access to high-power trading tools to automate their trades and share their signals for a fee, beginners can benefit from the guidance and experience of expert traders in the community by copying the signals of selected copy trade leaders.

By bringing together crypto enthusiasts, innovators like Ivan Kv can create projects with automated systems and tools that allow people to benefit from the human touch.

The Launch of the Platform

As the 4Bulls team prepares to launch on May 1st of this year, early adopters of 4Bulls can sign up during the Pre-sale period. Any unsatisfied early adopters can receive a 100 percent refund within 30 calendar days after the launch of the project. Additionally, early adopters will get access to a community of like-minded individuals.

Beginners can jump-start their trading careers with ease, and experts can capitalize on their skills on a friendly platform.

Are You a Blockchain Doubter? Here Is Your Wakeup Call - https://gostamina.com/2019/11/18/blockchain-doubter/ #Bitcoin, #Blockchain, #Crypto, #Cryptocurrency

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/11/18/blockchain-doubter/

Are You a Blockchain Doubter? Here Is Your Wakeup Call

If you doubt the wonders of blockchain technology, then you are not the first. With grandiose promises of the technology’s potential and a generally slow movement in that direction, many are starting to wonder if blockchain technology is one big flop. However, if we really want to look at what the future of this new tech looks like, then take a glance into the past for inspiration. Some of history’s most brilliant innovations started out as the laughing stocks of society. Will blockchain follow the same trajectory?

The World Doubted Steve Jobs Once Upon a Time

Most of us remember Steve Jobs as an icon of innovation, but even he had his doubts in the early stages of success. In a 1985 interview for Playboy Magazine, Jobs was asked why anyone would consider buying a computer: “Aren’t you asking home-computer buyers to invest $3000 in what is essentially an act of faith?” Jobs firmly responded, “In the future, it won’t be an act of faith… A hundred years ago, if somebody had asked Alexander Graham Bell, ‘What are you going to be able to do with the telephone?’ he wouldn’t have been able to tell him the ways the telephone would affect the world.” Today, naysayers would be shocked to learn that both computers are combined into one product that someone could carry in a pocket. Fast forward to a 1998 article about the pitfalls of making technological predictions. In this article, Nobel Prize-winning economist stated, “By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine.” We do not have to go into detail about how wrong Krugman was on that statement. The point is that technology’s potential has always been doubted, due to a simple lack of foresight. Today, we are seeing the same pattern with blockchain.

Blockchain’s Benefits Are Still Unclear to Many

For the true blockchain technology supporters (including companies that are using it innovatively), there are few doubts that the tech will affect the world someday. However, the common person still cannot visualize it. Take a South Burlington City Clerk, for example. The City Clerk of South Burlington, Vermont, was approached by real estate startup Propy with a unique idea to put the city’s land records on the blockchain. At first, Kinville was open to the new tech but later admitted, “I’m having a hard time understanding how blockchain is going to really positively affect my citizens.” Kinville then continued, “We Vermonters are cautious. We like paper; you can always go back to it.” Indeed, you can always go back to paper, unless there is a fire or flood that destroys paper documents.

General Public is Not Ready For Blockchain Yet

So, it seems for now that the general public is having a hard time visualizing a decentralized future. Yet, as we have outlined in this article, doubt does not mean failure. Global finance, real estate, and a wealth of other industries need a more transparent and efficient way to store and send data instantly. Blockchain technology offers a solution, but, perhaps, it is just not ready for its time in the spotlight.

As we saw in the past and as we see in the present, there is a gamut of ambivalent feelings expressed by society regarding new technology. As the slope of enlightenment gets more clear, we can expect to see the late majority joining the community of innovators and early adopters.

iBuying and Brokerages: 3 Things You Need to Know - https://gostamina.com/2019/10/06/ibuying-and-brokerages-3-things-you-need-to-know/ #IBuying, #RealEstate

iBuying and Brokerages: 3 Things You Need to Know

iBuying offers a new way for sellers to divest themselves of a home, faster than conventional methods can. However, iBuying is not for everyone and may not be the optimal strategy, where profits are concerned. Let us take a close look into iBuying so that you can better understand whether this novel home selling method is right for you.

iBuying Could Be the Fastest Way to Sell Your Home

Have you ever seen one of those handwritten “We Buy Houses for Cash” signs on the side of the road? There are various kinds of iBuying companies, many of whom offer programs that pay cash for a home and later resell the property for a higher price. If you wish to sell your real estate asset quickly and do not want to list it in the marketplace, one of the new iBuying companies can take it off of your hands.

iBuying Will Not Get You the Best Deal

iBuying companies typically pay less than the market price for the homes that they buy. They do it, as 1) the owners do not want to wait months for a house to sell, so they accept a lower price, and 2) the iBuying company makes a profit when it flips a property due to the low price paid. Some sellers will be in a situation where a near-overnight cash offer is the best move forward, but this option will not work for people who want to receive the best offers for their homes.

Many Companies Are Jumping into iBuying

It seems that just about every major real estate brokerage is offering an iBuying service these days. Keller Williams just got into the business. Moreover, Opendoor, Knock, Offerpad, Redfin, and Zillow have also joined the movement sometime back. iBuying customers make up only about 10% of the overall residential real estate market, but this is still a large enough pie to assure that competing firms get their pieces.

When it comes to property closing, Propy’s Transaction Management Platform provides technology that makes fast real estate deals possible. Whether or not you go the iBuyer route, consider the new Transaction Management solution. It can improve your bottom line and increase the security of your property transaction, no matter the agents or brokers with whom you choose to work.

Commercial Real Estate in Hollywood: 3 Things You Need to Know - https://gostamina.com/2019/09/18/commercial-real-estat/ #Business, #RealEstate

Commercial Real Estate in Hollywood: 3 Things You Need to Know

Occupancy rates in Hollywood real estate are hitting record highs. 97% of Hollywood commercial real estate is filled, and the trend does not seem to be on the verge of a reversal. Whether or not you are looking for an office in Hollywood, you are likely aware of some factors that are contributing to this white-hot market. Here are the top 3 reasons why nearly all of the good commercial real estate in Hollywood is currently unavailable.

Content and Tech Platforms Are Driving the Boom

There are numerous video streaming services that will expand or be introduced in the coming months. Netflix used to be the only game in town, but recent major plays by Disney, Apple, and Google are creating new competition. Combine this with existing streamers like Amazon and Hulu, and there is a crowded industry. All of these competitors are trying to lock in the right spaces to film their new shows and movies. In Hollywood, at least, there is not much left to go around.

Content Giants Are Locking in Long Leases

Hollywood production spaces used to deal in short leases, which kept desirable properties circulating. Today, giants like Netflix are locking in desirable properties with long leases. With these moves, Hollywood’s commercial real estate problem won’t go away anytime soon.

Cheap Capital Is Also to Blame

With interest rates so low, it is easy for large businesses to borrow money and make aggressive expenditures. Twenty years ago, it would have been too expensive for even a wealthy media company to rent thousands of square feet of desirable space in near perpetuity, but with interest rates still hovering in the 3-5% range for many, this is not as expensive as it once was.

How to Rent out Properties like a Boss - https://gostamina.com/2019/06/24/how-to-rent-out-properties-like-a-boss/

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/06/24/how-to-rent-out-properties-like-a-boss/

How to Rent out Properties like a Boss

Renting out real estate is a business like any other. To be successful, landlords have to plan for the future and make smart decisions. There is also a bit of luck needed – especially when it comes to selecting tenants. However, with proper preparation, any landlord can rent out properties like a boss.

Calculate the Net

After choosing an attractive property in a good location, a landlord has to do some basic math. At today’s rates, a $300,000 house with 10% down can run about $1,800 per month after taxes and insurance. To break even, the landlord will need $1,800 per month in rent.

Depending on the area, $1,800 could be a piece of cake, or it might be outrageous. If it is the latter, but the home is in a city center or near public transportation, it may be worth it to spend on upgrades to attract a higher-paying clientele. The important thing is that the landlord knows where he or she stands with regard to the monthly nut. That number will form the basis of all future decisions.

It is also crucial to remember that math only exists on paper. The real world is much messier. $1,800 may be the nut, but there could be vacancies or emergencies, and there will always be routine maintenance costs.

Then, there is the possibility of delinquency. However, fortunately, the chances of ending up with a delinquent can be mitigated with proper screening.

Find the Right Tenants

In most cases, long-term tenants are the best ones. When people live somewhere long-term, they take pride in the place. They pay on time, make small repairs on their own, and refrain from severely damaging anything.

To find folks who fit the bill, landlords should screen all applicants for proof of income, credit history, and criminal background. Screening helps to secure good and long-term tenants. Additionally, it helps to insulate landlords from delinquents.

Renting out Properties like a Boss

Even when tenants do pay, renting out properties can be stressful. However, any landlord who gets his or her finances right and finds reliable tenants has a chance at generating positive monthly cash flows – in other words, renting out properties like a boss.

Deciding to Launch an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) - https://gostamina.com/2019/06/17/deciding-to-launch-an-ico-initial-coin-offering/

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/06/17/deciding-to-launch-an-ico-initial-coin-offering/

Deciding to Launch an ICO (Initial Coin Offering)

When a company wants to expand and is in need of funds, it can raise money through various efforts such as crowdfunding methods or crowdsales. In recent years, blockchain technology has given rise to the Initial Coin Offering (ICO).

What Is an Initial Coin Offering?

In an ICO, instead of an investor receiving a company share as in an IPO, he or she receives a cryptocurrency token. It is the new age strategy for sourcing for funds, especially by startup blockchain-based companies that need more funds to execute their plans.

The ICO involves the company drawing up plans for a project, and the virtual populace determines whether it would be lucrative enough to invest in the project. In the ICO plan, there will be a rough calculation of how many tokens the company plans to take for itself.

The Appeal of an ICO

Just as the charm of an IPO partially resides in the rise in the value of the company’s shares, the charm of an ICO partially lies in the potential rise of the value of the tokens that investors buy with fiat money. If the startup cryptocurrency company is able to get as much popularity as it projects, an early investor can stand to gain a lot.

Steps to Launch an Initial Coin Offering

There are a few steps involved in launching an initial coin offering. You would need to come up with a company and an idea. Then, write the whitepaper, get legal opinions from experts on the terms and conditions, and build a team. Then, create the token; there are many platforms where you can do this; take Ethereum, for example. Additionally, create awareness for your upcoming ICO on media platforms. Finally, get your coin out on coin exchange platforms. Of course, for all of these steps, you will need initial funding.

What This Means for the World

You can rapidly create an Initial Coin Offering and raise capital. Given the rapid rate at which startup companies need to raise funds, the chances are that the Initial Coin Offerings will become more popular.

How to Become an Entrepreneur - https://gostamina.com/2019/06/12/how-to-become-an-entrepreneur/

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/06/12/how-to-become-an-entrepreneur/

How to Become an Entrepreneur

Entrepreneurship is the career dream of many individuals, especially for U.S. citizens. It confers a significant amount of social capital and is well respected. Additionally, it can be very rewarding, in spite of all the difficulties it entails – becoming an entrepreneur is incredibly tough.

Becoming an Entrepreneur

The first steps toward entrepreneurship are to understand what it involves and be committed to making it work. The business life of a real entrepreneur is often inseparable from personal affairs. A self-starter works as frequently as possible and will not quit until he or she has made it.

You need 100% dedication to the project, in order to succeed. Anything less will result in failure. Above all, every ambitious business person needs to have a vision or goal for inspiration. The target keeps the person motivated at all times.

The Partners Who See You Through

A comprehensive study of 3,200 high-growth tech startups identified that businesses with one technical and one business founder fared far better than startups with sole founders. One set of skills complements the other.

If you are just starting, you will multiply your efforts if you have a good network of business associates or a trustworthy partner. The network is also why family-run businesses can be effective. There are always going to be times when you get ill or are not functioning at your best. During these intervals, you can rely on a partner or group of people to continue the project.

The fact is that you need friends to succeed. Be careful to select partners who are as committed to the business as you are.

Entrepreneur Organizational Mindset

To have a higher chance of success, you will need to be as organized as possible. While passion and a vision are very important, they are not substitutes for organized execution.

You will need to review both short-term and long-term goals regularly. Manage and account for marketing, accounting, finance, sales, taxes, legal issues, hiring, training, insurance, permits, annual reports, and personal affairs as efficiently as possible.

Top 3 Free Online Tools for Real Estate Professionals

In any competitive industry, you need to be at the top of your game twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This rule also applies to real estate, where time is of the essence. You need to be the first one to contact the prospective buyer or to submit an offer.

Luckily, today’s online tools can help you to get more work and improve your bottom line. However, you need to use the tools that are relevant to your industry. We have a list of online tools that can transform the way that you operate.

1. Trello for Task Management

As a real estate agent, you need to network with multiple players daily. One mislaid document can, unfortunately, cost you a sale. On Trello, an innovative task list application that is based in the cloud, everything stays in order. You can:

Create boards for different clients, projects, or properties.

Allocate tasks to team members using the boards that you create.

Share documents and resources on the platform.

Because the application is cloud-based, the tasks can synchronize across devices. Even more, it is a free service.

2. Google Suite—Your Office in the Cloud

Google Suite is a comprehensive service that covers everything that businesses, including real estate agencies, might need. Because real estate depends so much on documents, it makes sense to use a suite that makes them easy to share and to keep in a safe place. You even have the option of using DocuSign with G Suite to speed up the process of obtaining signatures. Everything happens online, which is more convenient than repetitively printing, signing, and scanning the papers. You can directly email the documents to each party. Other tools include:

Scheduling meetings via Calendar

Communicating via Google Hangouts

Saving files to Google Drive

Because the information is stored online, you and your team can access it anytime.

3. Propy Blog as an SEO Marketing Tool

Another challenge for estate agents is to improve marketing. Luckily, the online platform Propy Blog makes the marketing process easy. Blogs are the ideal modern marketing tools, as consumers look online for valuable information to make important decisions. Propy Blog is open to real estate professionals who want to get more exposure. You can kickstart the process of joining Propy by emailing [email protected] and reading the editorial guidelines for members.

You can easily reach your sales goals. Just use the right tools, and enjoy your results.

Edward Snowden: Top 5 Things You Did Not Know - https://gostamina.com/2019/02/06/edward-snowden-facts/ #CIA, #EdwardSnowden, #Snowden

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/02/06/edward-snowden-facts/

Edward Snowden: Top 5 Things You Did Not Know

Edward Snowden is a figure who has graced the covers of many magazines. So, you might think that he is old news. But, there are some things that you might not have known about Edward Snowden’s character.

Top 1 Thing You Did Not Know about Edward Snowden: IQ

Edward Snowden has a high IQ score of above 145, according to two separate IQ tests that he took. His father was not surprised when Edward scored above 145 on these tests. To put this into perspective, an IQ range of 140 and over typically means that you have “genius or near genius” intelligence.

Top 2 Thing You Did Not Know About Edward Snowden: High School Dropout with No Undergraduate College Degree

Snowden dropped out of high school in his sophomore year. To bypass this, he passed the GED test and took some classes at a community college. Even more, Snowden also had no undergraduate college degree. He later studied online for a master’s degree at the University of Liverpool; the course had to do with computer security. However, he did not complete the program.

Top 3 Thing You Did Not Know about Edward Snowden: Understands Mandarin

Snowden has a basic understanding of Mandarin Chinese. In fact, one of Snowden’s Ars Technica posts, which reporters believe he made as a young man, mentions that he has a basic understanding of Mandarin and the culture.

Top 4 Thing You Did Not Know about Edward Snowden: U.S. Army Participant

Snowden enlisted himself in the U.S. Army with hopes of fighting in the Iraq War; he said this was because he was passionate about freeing people from oppression. However, Snowden came to believe that most soldiers wanted to kill Arabs, rather than help anyone. Later, according to reports, the army discharged him due to a training accident.

Top 5 Thing You Did Not Know about Edward Snowden: Iceland

Snowden originally wanted to seek asylum in Iceland. However, Iceland’s parliament did not place his proposal on their voting agenda, so Snowden’s attempts failed. Additionally, Snowden’s passport was revoked, stranding Snowden in Moscow.

Who Is Justin Sun? An Unofficial Son of Alibaba Founder Jack Ma? - https://gostamina.com/2019/01/30/who-is-justin-sun/ #AlibabaFounder, #Crypto, #Entrepreneur, #JackMa, #JustinSun

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/01/30/who-is-justin-sun/

Who Is Justin Sun? An Unofficial Son of Alibaba Founder Jack Ma?

Justin Sun is one visionary who wants to use his crypto project, Tron, to lead the decentralization of digital content. The young entrepreneur has reportedly stated that he is Jack Ma’s “best disciple”. Hence, Jack Ma is his “father” in a sense, or “master teacher” in another. Could Justin Sun be an unofficial son of Alibaba founder Jack Ma?

Justin Sun’s Similarities with Jack Ma

Many have likened Justin Sun, founder of Tron, to J. Ma, founder of Alibaba. And, indeed, Sun was admitted to Hupan University, co-founded by Ma, where he took part as 30 students.

Justin Sun takes pride in the title, “the best disciple of Jack Ma”. While nobody knows when this title came up, it is memorable. And, an early record of an interview in Super Talk Show on May 12, 2015, shows that Sun called himself this. Sun also described how he knew nothing about the University until Alibaba invited him to study there. Outside of Justin Sun’s statement that he is “the best disciple of Jack Ma”, he also remarked that his educational philosophy is similar.

Is Justin Sun Telling the Truth?

While Justin Sun has talked up his relationship with Jack Ma, some are left wondering as to whether Justin is telling the truth. Crypto Daily Gazette reported that Alibaba will cooperate with Tron. But, an Alibaba executive denied this, and he denied that Justin Sun was Ma’s student.

Outside of his relationship with Jack Ma, Justin Sun also has a crypto project, Tron, that is also leaving some wondering. Some have accused Sun of plagiarizing, when it comes to Tron’s whitepaper. There are reports that the ex-COO of Tron, Liu Ming, has even accused Sun Yuchen (a.k.a. Justin Sun) of putting him at risk of violating the law.

With these numerous accusations circling about Justin, we wonder whether Justin Sun really has a relationship with Mr. Ma. It could be that Justin Sun is an unofficial “son” or “tutelage” of Jack Ma. However, it could also be that Justin is marketing his experiences really well.

Jeff Bezos vs Elon Musk; Is Tesla CEO Smarter Than Amazon Guru? - https://gostamina.com/2019/01/26/jeff-bezos-vs-elon-musk-amazon-vs-tesla/ #Amazon, #ElonMusk, #JeffBezos, #Tesla

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/01/26/jeff-bezos-vs-elon-musk-amazon-vs-tesla/

Jeff Bezos vs Elon Musk; Is Tesla CEO Smarter Than Amazon Guru?

Many of us have heard of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. One of them is the founder of Amazon, while the other heads numerous companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. Because they are both well-known people, you might be wondering, is Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk smarter? Is the Tesla CEO smarter than the Amazon guru?

Jeff Bezos vs. Elon Musk: Age and Net Worth

One of the most important metrics that people like to use to judge others’ intelligence is net worth. While this might not directly correspond with IQ (I personally know many high-IQ people with low net worth), I am sure that you are curious anyway. It shows just how much these men have accumulated.

Jeff Bezos, at one point, became the richest man in modern history. As of 2019, Bezos has an estimated net worth of 138 billion USD. As Bezos was born on January 12, 1964, he is now 55 years old. That is still a young age for managing to obtain this massive amount of wealth!

As of 2019, Elon Musk has an estimated net worth of 20.8 billion USD. He was born on June 28, 1971, so he is now 47 years old. While Elon Musk’s net worth is much less than Jeff Bezos’ net worth, Musk’s net worth is not trivial by any means.

Jeff Bezos vs. Elon Musk: Who Will Determine Humanity’s Future?

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk took different actions to get where they are. Their actions show how they think. Bezos is well-known for having propelled Amazon to become to be worth $1 trillion in value. This is an unbelievable amount of money. On the other hand, Musk is well-known for his ideas about humanity’s future, and his visionary statements. Going by the impact on humanity several centuries ahead, we would say that Elon Musk has opened more doors for our future.

Jeff Bezos vs. Elon Musk: Who Can Go Deeper and Broader into More Subjects?

Another hallmark of intelligence is curiosity and interest. Who shows more curiosity and interest in more subjects? We can take a look at their backgrounds.

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk seem to have very different focuses. Bezos is well-known for founding Amazon, Blue Origin, and Bezos Expeditions. These are companies that are known for e-commerce, space, and venture investment focuses.

Elon Musk is well-known for founding and co-founding a variety of companies that offered online payment services, online city guide software, aerospace manufacturing, and space transportation services, brain-machine interfaces, solar energy services, and infrastructure and tunnel construction.

Elon Musk’s focuses are very different from Jeff Bezos’s focuses. Based on the above, it seems that Musk has an obsessive interest in science and engineering, among other interests. However, Bezos is still a brilliant businessman.

Think Like Jeff Bezos: Top 5 Tips - https://gostamina.com/2018/11/04/think-like-jeff-bezos/ #Amazon, #Business, #JeffBezos, #Tips, #Values

New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2018/11/04/think-like-jeff-bezos/

Think Like Jeff Bezos: Top 5 Tips

Jeff Bezos is a famous businessperson who is admired for managing to build a big business. However, to do so, one must have the mindset, the appetite, and the character. Here are five things that can help you think like Jeff Bezos.

Think Like Jeff Bezos

Always Look for Improvements

Since he was young, Jeff Bezos always thinks that something can be improved. He did not assume that something was perfect. For example, when Jeff went to restaurants, he thought, “How can this be better?”

Focus on Your Customers, Not Competitors

Take your energy and harness it on your customers instead of on your competitors. According to the famous founder, startups go awry when they focus on their competitors instead of on their customers. Bezos advises to focus more on delivering your absolute best when it comes to service.

Pick out an Early Role Model with Good Values

Jeff Bezos believes that we all get gifts during our childhood, and one of the biggest gifts has to do with who we pick as our early role model. For Jeff, it was his grandfather. Little Bezos spent his summers on his grandfather’s ranch.

Jeff Bezos has a story of when he was younger and he was sitting in a car with his grandmother, who regularly smoked. When 10-year-old Jeff calculated how much time his grandmother took off of her life with each puff of smoke, his grandmother began crying. Jeff’s grandfather then stopped the car, took the little Bezos out, and told him, “You’re going to figure out one day that it’s harder to be kind than clever.” Jeff’s grandfather taught Jeff values at a young age.

Values instilled in Jeff from his early role model stayed with him. They crafted a large part of Bezos’ character and made him into who he is today.

Be Resourceful

After spending time on his grandfather’s ranch as a child, Jeff Bezos learned to help his grandfather to build necessary items around the ranch. Jeff recalls that one of the most striking things was that his grandfather built everything himself. If his grandfather did not know how to do something, he figured out how to do it.

Surround Yourself with Supporters

Jeff Bezos’ wife, MacKenzie, supported his idea from the get-go. When he said that he wanted to quit his job and start a bookstore on the Internet, MacKenzie told him, “Great. Let’s go.” This was back then, when most people did not understand the Internet. Jeff emphasizes how supportive MacKenzie was of the idea, and how it really helped him launch his business.

To be like Jeff Bezos, one has to come from a place of improvement-thinking, customer focus, strong values, resourcefulness, and strong supporters. It is not easy, and that is why there is only one Jeff Bezos.

I believe in the power of YouTube as people can freely express their thoughts and beliefs on that platform. Because I believe in freedom of speech, I became an avid YouTube creator.

What is FreaKing World About? How is it Different From Other Media Outlets?

I have been fortunate enough to live in 3 different countries: Belarus, Russia, and the United States. Because of my multi-cultural background, I can offer my unique perspective on day-to-day living. I can appreciate aspects that other people might have skipped. And that’s what differentiates me from my pals on YouTube.

Tell Us a Little Bit About Your Upcoming Documentary, “Silicon Valley Startups.” What Is It Going to Be About?

Before I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York City, Silicon Valley seemed like a secretive world to me. I did not know much about the local startup culture in the Bay Area, but now I do.

Also, publications outline many business aspects like revenue streams and rounds of investments associated with companies – a lot of numbers. In my documentary, I am planning on personal touches. There are the stories of so many geniuses out there, and I am going to allow the viewers a taste of what it is like to be living the Silicon Valley startup lifestyle.

It Seems to Me That You Will Be Interviewing a Lot of People. Who Are You Going to Speak With? What Questions Are You Going to Ask These People?

I am going to interview founders and CEOs of amazing startups of Silicon Valley. I don’t want to reveal any spoilers… All I can say is that there will be very few limitations on my interviews.

We Know That You Are an Entrepreneur Yourself. What Excites You Most About the Startup Culture?

The feeling of creation excites me the most. One has to be absolutely dedicated to his/her product 24/7, 7 days a week.

Being a startup owner is hard, and it requires resourcefulness. You will need to take an idea and shape it. That’s what my documentary, “Silicon Valley Startups,” will be about.
