New York City’s Faith & Fashion Icon Pens Inspiring Opus in a Fight for Her Life

The House of Faith and Fashion: What My Wardrobe Taught Me About G-d releases on May 13th, 2021 and is a collection of essays and conversations that fuse together fashion and faith — two subjects that are traditionally juxtaposed, yet are brought together seamlessly within these pages, as if they had always belonged and had never existed separately. The attention-grabbing cover was designed by none other than Elizabeth Sutton, giving perfect visual representation to the beauty found in the content inside.

Through The House of Faith and Fashion, Tobi works to reveal G-d’s presence in fashion, jewelry, art, beauty, and style through the unique lens of Jewish teachings. She completed the book during the fight for her life against Müllerian ovarian cancer, an aggressive carcinoma requiring equally aggressive medical care.

Through her cancer diagnosis and the challenges of treatment, Tobi created an extraordinary chronicle of faith and fashion that elevates the creative process to divine proportions. Her collection of thoughtful, profound, and sometimes poignant essays illustrate to readers how the creation of fashion and art can become a channel through which to express one’s faith and connection with their spirituality.

“Brilliantly redraws the borders between spiritual and physical beauty.” — Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt

The House of Faith and Fashion began as a weekly column for a local newspaper and has since flourished to a robust treasury of essays that weave spirituality into every aspect of the fashion and creative industries. The book continues Tobi’s work with top international designers, fashion editors, jewelers, artists, and influencers like Manolo Blahnik and Carolina Herrera. Tobi weaves spiritual awareness into her work with fashion figureheads at events like the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Exhibit and New York Fashion Week to create an opus that takes a fresh new look at style and spirituality.

“I definitely found my niche, that’s for sure,” Tobi explains. “Nobody else has put together chief Rabbis and fashion editors together to discuss their craft and then bring it all [together] with clear Biblical and Judaic thought,” she says.

The book is clearly organized and divided into five chapters, each with about twelve to fourteen essays. This format is designed specifically to make the book easier to pick up and put down as needed to fit busy lifestyles.

“It’s not really about me; it’s not my memoir,” Rubinstein says. “I became ordained as a path to gaining more understanding and digging deeper. It’s not necessarily a title I go by. I’ve learned that my title is myself and that titles really don’t matter in life. It’s about relaying your message in a way that you can impact people. [I believe] that creativity on all levels is a gift from G-d.”  

“For so many decades, fashion, art, jewelry, and beauty has been looked at in this vain, purposeless, self-contained way,” Tobi continues. “I’m putting a new layer to it, saying ‘No, it’s not.’ In my first essay, The Haute and the Holy, I talk about the fact that the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s most successful costume exhibit was Heavenly Bodies, about the Catholic church. I refer back to the two chapters in the Bible about the outfit of the high priest, which is the most ornate, couture outfit you could think of, from the jewelry, the lace, the colors, the dying, the patterns, the gold trim, and the placement of the gems.”

In this never-before-seen collection of visceral, thought-provoking essays, readers will discover that faith and fashion aren’t necessarily two separate roads. Biblically, clothing had great importance; purple robes were reserved for royalty because the dye was so rare and costly to make. Spirituality has never taken such a practical turn before, framing the beauty of creation within the lens of the fashion industry.  

Tobi summarizes the book best with a single phrase: “The House of Faith and Fashion” ultimately pays homage to the first master couturier, which was G-d.”

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tobi Rubinstein began her notable career in fashion after being brought into the industry by an exclusive manufacturer for Victoria’s Secret and JC Penney. Tobi then licensed with Nicole Miller for Childrenswear and helped develop Crunch Gym’s popular activewear line. In 2001, Rubinstein and her partners created “Chedda,” an innovative men’s urban clothing line designed for mass-market release at K-Mart.

In 2011, Tobi took a leap into reality TV and a successful lecture and radio series by creating The House of Faith and Fashion. Her goal was to consistently fuse creative outlets like fashion with spirituality. She made media appearances on WABC, WNBC, Lifetime, I24, Huffington Post, Page Six, and other outlets, having the opportunity to fashion icons like Patricia Fields and Badgley Mischka about their faith within their craft.

Tobi found further meaning by in-depth study of Jewish thought and teaching. This led to the combination of both her loves into one solid purpose — The House of Faith and Fashion: What My Wardrobe Taught Me About G-d.

Web Designer and Comic Book Enthusiast, Brennen Jones, is Changing How Businesses Get Online by Becoming Their Web “Superhero”

“Everyone needs a website.”

That’s always been Brennen Jones’ motto whenever he comes across anyone looking to debate him on the merits on whether or not they should invest in getting a website built for their business. Or whether one is even needed at all.

“The world is at our fingertips at the push of a button. In this day and age, when everyone is online, I really don’t understand how a business can even think that it’s even okay to not have a website,” Brennen explains.

“If you want a website and price is an issue. Because for many people it is, especially during this pandemic. It still doesn’t mean that you should accept any old solution. You have options. You don’t have to settle.”

This is where Brennen and his company P.S. Web Pros come into play. They’ve marketed themselves to be a hero of sorts. The “web hero” that you and your business deserve and need. Brennen has been doing this for well over 15 years and takes pride in being able to help brands and businesses find their way online.

“I’m a comic book nerd. I mean the type of nerd who has the entire Black Panther comic book collection on hand, and the reason why I bring Black Panther up is that he’s a hero that has always been about his people and helping them out with whatever problems they may have or facing those problems together. It’s like how when Thanos showed up in Wakanda, Black Panther was right there and on the frontlines. This is what I meant earlier when I said how one should never settle for a website. I’ve seen folks scammed paying 20 bucks or something like that for a website. And the site simply isn’t functional at all nor does it have a professional look.”

“Like Black Panther, we’ll face that problem of you getting online together. I’ve developed a system that will give you that professional presence that you should have for your brand, for as low as $99 by us working together with one another.”

“We have other packages as well that are higher priced, but the endgame (pun intended) for anyone who contacts us and is in need of an online presence, is to simply get them online. We have options for every budget.”

P.S. Web Pros will share with their clients their knowledge and tricks of the trade, in order for them to make the best-informed decision and create a true partnership…like Batman and Robin.

And of course, T’Challa and Shuri.

Howling Amplify’s Automated Campaign Exponentially Increases the Power of Content Marketing

Howling Amplify has a new automated content amplification marketing tool that helps clients reach broader target markets. Today, it is more important than ever before for businesses to get their content in front of as many people as possible. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to produce the same content in multiple ways without plagiarizing prior published content. Furthermore, it can be challenging for businesses to set up connections with numerous media outlets in order to get their content in front of more people. That is where Howling Amplify’s automation comes in handy. The goal of this automation campaign is to help clients save time and money while still getting more out of each piece of the published content.

Clients Provide Key Information To Howling Amplify’s Automation Tools  

The first step is for clients to provide key information that Howling Amplify can use to figure out where the contents should be distributed. For example, clients will need to specify what type of content they are publishing. Examples of common types of content include images, videos, blog posts, and technical articles.

Then, clients will also need to specify what their goals are. For example, is the goal is to simply educate as many people as possible? Or, is the goal to drive traffic to a specific website? In some cases, the goal may be to motivate users to make a purchase. After collecting all this information, Howling Amplify will use it to figure out what type of content to promote, how it will be promoted, and how success will be measured.

Howling Amplify’s Automation Campaign Uses This Information To Do the Heavy Lifting  

After collecting this information, Howling Amplify will do the heavy lifting. For example, Howling Amplify will figure out exactly where this content should be shared. Howling Amplify has set up partnerships with some of the biggest media outlets in the industry. For example, Howling Amplify can publish videos on YouTube or Vimeo. The automation campaign may decide to publish audio files on platforms such as BuzzSprout and Podbean. Furthermore, blog posts might be shared on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Howling Amplify even has partnerships set up with reputable news organizations.

There are two main goals of this automation campaign. The first is to save time. In order to generate the results of a single automated Howling Amplify campaign, plants might have to put in 14 hours of manual labor on their own. The second goal is to position clients as an authority in the field. By publishing content in the right locations, it is possible to drive traffic, improve rankings, and solidify client footholds in the industry.

Howling Amplify’s Automation Campaign Represents the Future of Content Marketing  

A lot of businesses are having trouble coming up with new ideas. After all, they cannot simply publish the same thing over and over again. Otherwise, they run the risk of plagiarizing themselves. Howling Amplify has found a way to address this issue. By amplifying content that has already been published, it is possible for businesses to recycle ideas productively. Because Howling Amplify has already established partnerships with countless authorities in the industry, it is possible for clients to simply provide a bit of key information and let Howling Amplify go to work. It is entirely possible that the automation service from Howling Amplify could lead to a paradigm shift in the world of digital marketing.

About Howling Amplify: Howling Amplify is a digital marketing platform that allows clients to advertise their websites on countless platforms depending on the type of content they are trying to publish. This includes blog posts, technical articles, slideshows, video, and audio files. Using the automation campaign, it is possible for clients to use Howling Amplify services to get new, targeted visitors for just about any product, business, or website.

Revolutionary Fall Protection With Zero Damage to Rooftops

Lemoyne, Pa. May 12, 2021 – Homeowners, building owners, contractors and managers can now work safely on standing seam roofs without worrying about damage to panels. The Standing Seam system uses superior anchorage attachment, certified at an independent ISO 17025/ANSI Z359.18 certified materials testing facility. A wide variety of Standing Seam Roof Anchor (SSRA) systems are available for immediate purchase.

Capable of withstanding 14,500 pounds, the SSRA far outstrips the required 5,000 pounds specified by OSHA and ANSI. When the system did ultimately fail, the attachment bolts sheared, leaving the panel itself completely unharmed. (Test anchor body was made of aluminum.) Nearly 10,000 pounds above the required limit and thousands of pounds above all other manufacturers, the Standing Seam Roof Anchor is an inimitable product.

Despite the massive load-bearing capacity and fall protection, however, the SSRA isn’t heavy at all. In fact, an anchor made for one person weighs only 4.5 pounds. That makes it simultaneously both the strongest and the lightest one ever made. It is easy to adjust and move, making it the ideal choice for either temporary or permanent attachment.

No need to buy different products for different jobs or job sites, however. The Standing Seam Roof Anchor boasts a universal design, and therefore works on more than 500 different panel types. These official “panel profiles” included t-seams, bulb seams, SnapLok, single lok, double lok, MR-24 and more. In addition to strongest and lightest, the SSRA is also the most widely applicable. Users can take it from roof to roof without the need to switch out parts, reassemble it or use different systems completely. Consequently, the savings in time, money and effort are considerable.

Components also withstand the test of time. Made of heavily tested stainless steel and aluminum materials, the anchor withstands salt spray and other adverse weather. It takes well to powder coating, so it’s simple to blend permanent anchor installations into the surrounding roof color. The low-profile attachment makes fixed installations even harder to see. This also minimizes tripping.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Standing Seam Roof Anchor is its ability to withstand the full 5,000 pounds required in every direction of pull. That means workers can count on the roof anchor to prevent accident or injury no matter where they are in relation to the anchor. Working downward, to either side, upward or even up and over the top of the roof, the anchor provides equal protection. That minimizes the need for workers to adjust their anchors on the job. Instead, it gives them freedom of movement to focus on the task at hand.

The SSRA system isn’t just for people. Because it can handle such large loads, it is also ideal for devices and machinery. Users can attach walk boards, SRLs, ladders, horizontal lifelines and roof jacks with equal ease. Get anchors for everyone in the crew as well as all heavy tools frequently in use, and trust to them to keep the jobsite safe for everyone – and every expensive piece of equipment.

Minimize scratching when frequently attaching or detaching the Standing Seam Roof Anchor with recommended Nylon Tipped Set Screws. This will keep roofs looking nice for years to come. These work just as well with the patented universal fit design of the SSRA, and are reusable over and over again. Installation requires nothing more than a torque wrench that reads to inches per pounds, as well as a 3/16-inch hex bit socket. Nothing could be simpler.

The website makes it easy to reorder screws, pair robes and shock absorbers with the SSRA system, and find an appropriate torque wrench, if contractors and workers don’t already have one on hand.

Roofers looking to support American industry will find the Standing Seam Roof Anchor a bonus as well. It’s made in the United States with a Lifetime Life Saving Warranty. Users never again have to worry about paying for a replacement, and profits go to support American businesses. The Standing Seam Roof Anchor is available in a significant number of options, from different attachments to contractor kits that include multiple anchors. Visit www.fallpd.com to learn more today.

SnoBlox-SnoJax Produces the Metal Roofing Snow Guards Needed to Stop Sliding Snow and Ice

Back in the 1970s, metal roofing first made its debut as an option for commercial and residential homes. The first winter after the first installation, every new roof dumped a load of ice and snow on unsuspecting pedestrians. There was an immediate need for snow guards. SnoBlox-SnoJax went into business manufacturing snow guards for metal roofing and continues to serve satisfied customers across the country to this day.

Today, SnoBlox-SnoJax produces its original clear polycarbonate snow guards. The simple design blends in with the colorful metal roof while slowing the slide of ice and snow. Each guard is fastened to the metal roof using screws or adhesive and can hold back up to four tons of ice and snow. They are shaped like a bookend with a six-inch vertical plate able to catch falling and sliding snow. Once the snow is halted, it has a chance to melt instead of falling in a potentially dangerous heap. The snow guards are installed by a metal roofing company, a different contractor, or the homeowner when following all recommended guidelines. They are an affordable solution to an annual problem, costing under five dollars for each piece.

If ice sheets are more of a problem in a particular area, SnoBlox-SnoJax also offers their Snowbreakers product. The triangular unit works to break up sheets of ice and snow with their angular design. Instead of sharp and even deadly amounts of ice racing down the roof, the Snowbreakers crack and shatter the sheets. A pedestrian may only experience a quick shower of ice and snow. When used in combination with the Snoblox snow guards, the property owner sees a significant reduction in dangerous sheets landing in walkways, parking lots, and on people.

Some property owners demanded yet another option to the Snoblox and Snowbreakers systems which attach to the flat areas between the ribs of a metal roof. In 2016, the company bought Action Manufacturing LLC and their line of Colorbar and Snobar products. A Snobar comes in six-foot-wide sections and can clamp onto standing seam metal roofs. They offer a faster installation compared to the Snoblox system and can be ordered in a matching powder coat color for a near-invisible appearance. These units can hold back over a foot of snow while allowing melting ice and snow to continue to slowly and safely drip off the roof. Now customers, clients, and homeowners can walk out from under their metal roof without fearing the next mini avalanche.

Interested commercial and residential contractors and property owners can order the complete range of SnoBlox-SnoJax products directly from their website at snoblox-snojax.com or through a local authorized distributor and reseller. Customers can also contact them through their Facebook and Instagram pages.

SnoBlox-SnoJax remains committed to producing quality systems that work with and support current metal roofing technologies and installation procedures. Their line of products has changed in manufacture and material since its inception, improving durability and function without becoming exorbitantly expensive. The company was first formed by Jack McMullen and is still run by his son, the current CEO and President, Brion P. McMullen.

SnoBlox-SnoJax has been producing quality aftermarket snow guards for metal roofing since 1976. Their products are still Made in America, come with a lifetime no-fine-print warranty, and continue to evolve with the changing market and materials in the metal roofing industry. Their products are available wholesale to certified roofing installers and individual homeowners and contractors.

Building a Community of Strong Women Leaders

Chief, a private network for C-Suite level women to network and mentor one another from such iconic companies as Google, HBO, American Express, and Hulu looks at the lingering effects of Covid-19 on parenting in the United States.

Chief co-founder, Lindsay Kaplan, recently noted on a recent episode of The POZcast: Career & Life Journeys with Adam Posner that the ongoing pandemic has taken a toll on the parenting workforce that includes the women holding upper echelon positions in corporate America.

Exploring the importance of community, and her groups efforts in facilitating that sense of community, Kaplan explores her thoughts on the role that the Covid-19 pandemic will have on social justice policies designed to more broadly meet the needs of executive women in the future.

When asked about the biggest impact of the ongoing pandemic, Kaplan says that she believes that parents have been gas lit into the belief that it is the parent’s role to attempt to normalize the most un-normal of experiences. In addition to the strains placed on parents attempting to balance child care and productivity, she notes that the solution needs to look past the end of the pandemic.

“I believe that this experience highlight the need for us to look at long-term solutions that virtually ignored in this country such as parental leave, as well as after school programs designed to meet the needs of working American parents throughout the economy.”

Additionally, Kaplan recommends that members and staff alike ensure that they are practicing self-care traits although Kaplan admits that her own routine involves “a bottle of wine, bowl of Cheerios, and a good, long cry in the bathtub.” With an internal team of approximately 50 staff members, Chief routinely offers a monthly “mental health” day to decompress from everyday stresses.

Launched in 2019, Chief targets the needs of women occupying positions of executive authority. A curated peer to peer group, Chief’s core mission is to provide a space to form deep, lasting connections, a sense of amity, mutual support, and an understanding audience across many industries.

Historically underrepresented in the boardrooms of corporate America, women comprise a mere 23% of these leadership positions; Chief represents an excellent sharpening stone on which these women can sharpen their leadership skills.

“The challenge for many upper echelon female executives is that by the time they enter the C-Suite ring, they are the go-to resource for those seeking support, advice, and mentoring, which leaves them with few available resources with which to recharge their own batteries,” notes Kaplan.

Kaplan adds, “Our Core groups form monthly to facilitate the confidential working through of professional and personal challenges, under the guidance of a dedicated Core guide. Everyone needs the opportunity to vent amongst their peers, and here at Chief, all of our members ‘really get it.’”

Also, the group offers workshops, digital services, and a chance to exchange information of job candidates, open available positions, as well as watching in person special events online with such notable speakers as Whoopi Goldberg, Gayle King, and Valerie Jarrett among others.

“Since we first began Chief, we always placed the utmost importance on meeting our individual member’s needs, and that resulted in an easier pivot once the pandemic set in,” according to Kaplan. Moving to online engagement over in person meetings, the group has actually seen an increase in membership and engagement.

Founded with the initial goal of enrolling 100 C-Suite female executives to their ranks, Chief currently numbers 2,000 members with another 8,000 women waiting for acceptance. Membership is reserved for those occupying the senior rungs of corporate leadership ranging from VP to CEO. While dedicated to the empowerment of women in the executive corridors of power, the group is absolutely open to men who share the same ideals and goals of the group.

Expanding from its initial New York City base, the group has since added Chief clubhouses in Chicago and Los Angeles.

Episode 150 of #thePOZcast Discusses the New Workplace with Joe Mullings

May 4, 2021 – New York, NY – Joe Mullings and Adam Posner sat down to discuss the future of Talent Access and The New Workplace. The 150th episode of #thePOZcast became an organic conversation about how many strong companies will emerge from the pandemic quicker and stronger than ever before. Further, there was a discussion of how hiring practices are changing – and how employers must adapt effectively.

Joe Mullings shared a significant amount of insight as Chairman & CEO of the Mullings Group. With over 30 years of experience in Talent Access and Career Development, the company has worked with over 600 different companies, many of which are multi-billion-dollar corporations.

The POZcast is powered by NHP Talent Group, which offers a significant amount of insight into the world of digital marketing on their website.

Adam Posner, the host of #thePOZcast, focused heavily on recruitment throughout the conversation with Joe Mullings.

One of the most meaningful things that Posner acknowledged was a conversation had with Mullings in May of last year just as the pandemic was starting to impact businesses. Mullings explained that businesses have a choice. They can curl up in a ball and die or they can grab this thing and own it.

Now, a year later, businesses have to continue to apply the same principles. Those that are strong and trustworthy will emerge more successfully. You add value to the clients so that “when we come out of this, you will be at the top of the list.” And Posner pointed out that is what’s happening now.

As businesses are reopening and people are looking to get working again, recruiting is changing. Candidate pools are opening up. It’s no longer a focus on a certain geography. It’s open to anywhere in the country – and that’s because of not only teleworking but also people deciding if they’re willing to move for the right job.

Mullings weighs in by saying that it’s “survival mode” right now. Categories doing the most hiring are software, firmware, and communications because they’re seeing explosive growth. The food and beverage industry is still doing what they’re doing. However, 80 percent of the GDP in the U.S. has a service arm – and that means that call centers demand software development that demands firmware development. And it doesn’t take living in Silicon Valley to get hired by these companies any longer.

With living in one area and working in another comes the conflict of compensation. The cost of living may be higher when the job is based in San Francisco but a person is living in the middle of the country. This is when, as Posner points out, that it will result in the decentralization of available talent. People will be paid based on the talent pool not the cost of living.

Companies will pay for the right talent. And, there’s also an understanding of culture and personalities. Some people want to work in the offices because they want the camaraderie.

There has to be a choice. Mullings warns that companies will lose talent if they try to force people back into the offices. And the companies that don’t evolve may end up with other problems, including having to pay for the expensive real estate. That kind of expense has to be justified now – and many companies will struggle with that justification.

Hiring based on culture is critical, and Mullings doesn’t believe that technology will ever replace the culture. Instead, recruiters have to depend on technology as a resource. Mullings recommends that interviews should start by giving the interviewee the benefit of the doubt so that unconscious bias is muted. Further, a candidate’s personal life will become the future of hiring to focus on hobbies, a typical day in family activities, and more. Why? To ensure a cultural fit into the workplace and to determine whether a person has the means to telework or if they’d be more successful in the office with others around them.

Throughout the podcast, a number of important topics are brought up between Posner and Mullings. Over the span of 37 minutes, they discuss not only talent access but the redistribution of workers and schedules, engagement, branding, and more.

The pandemic has shifted the control and both Posner and Mullings are aware of the changes. The POZcast shares the insight of two industry professionals ensuring that companies of all sizes understand how to make shifts to prepare for the new trends emerging in the way in which staff is hired and trained in the workplace.

From Fratire King to Self-Publishing Empire:The POZcast with Adam Posner Shines a Light on Tucker Max

As the podcast industry continues to grow, The POZcast with Adam Posner is at the top of the list. Posner regularly has experts in various areas on his show to discuss serious topics. Now, there is a new episode of The POZcast with Adam Posner, where he talks with Tucker Max. Max shines a light on exactly how he got to where he is today. During the in-depth interview, Posner discusses how Max became a 4x best-selling New York Times author while still balancing his professional obligations.

Tucker Max: Scribe Media Founder  

When people think about Tucker Max, they usually envision the founder of Scribe Media; however, prior to this, he went to school to become a lawyer. After finishing school, he realized that he did not particularly enjoy practicing law. He believes the field forces you to sell your soul if you want to enjoy success, which he was not willing to do.

Even though lots of people are worried about what will happen if they do not put their advanced degree to use, Max knew that he did not want to spend his life doing something he hated. Therefore, he tried to get out before he got in too deep. He moved to Hollywood for two years, which he also hated, as he felt like he was spending time around people who were nothing like him. Eventually, he decided that his calling was to found Scribe Media, which was the first stepping stone to get him where he is today.

His next step was to start a blog on his own website, which is tuckermax.com, where he founded a new genre that is now called “fratire.” Originally used by Warren St. John, a writer for the New York Times, this is the best way to describe Tucker’s style of writing.

On his website, Max pokes fun at himself a lot, mocking the life he once led in his 20s. In addition, his website has become popular because of his unique sense of humor. Finally, Max always discusses that he has been both blessed and cursed to tell the truth to people no matter what.

A Unique Approach: Tucker Max and Scribe Media  

The original reason why Tucker Max went to law school was to become someone who could help people. He realized that this was going to be a lot harder than he thought. Fortunately, he now gets to do exactly that as he works for Scribe Media. A lot of his clients are shocked because he asks them to read their books out loud. While this might seem like an unconventional approach, it is actually very important. When someone is actually forced to speak out loud, they can pick up on errors in their writing that they might have otherwise overlooked. It is this type of dedication to his clients that has made Tucker Max the success that he is today. It has also driven Scribe Media to the top of the industry. Tucker Max has written 4 New York Times best-selling books, including ‘I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell’.

The Drive To Change: Discussing the Core Principle of Buddha  

Tucker Max has always worked to free himself from the chains of a “typical” career and, after four decades, he has finally done that, as he has founded Scribe Media. He follows Buddha’s Core Principle, which states that you must do your work first before you can help others do theirs.

In following this principle, Tucker Max has become the person he is today. He knows that real change can be hard; however, he knows that people need to change themselves if they would like to change the world. Now, Tucker Max spends his time pursuing his true calling. This has led him to become a best-selling New York Times author four separate. All of this, and more, is discussed on The POZcast with Adam Posner, one of the newest episodes released.
