Pall and Taggart Talk the Future in 2016 Chainsmokers Interview

Posted on - by MagShow

The Chainsmokers chart-topper from 2016, “Closer” has just become a mega-hit. The single achieved diamond certifications a few months ago. For those not in the biz, this means the single sold over ten million copies. A very big achievement for artists who have only been around for four years. “Closer” was indeed a game changer. Done in collaboration with then-newcomer Halsey. the song not only launched her careers but solidified the Chainsmokers as artists. The duo talked about it in length during an interview conducted after “Closer” released.

“People connect to our music on a very deep level,” Pall stated, “And we want that to happen more, a lot more.” The interview conducted by Mathias Rosenzweig of Interview Magazine really cut to the quick of who the Chainsmokers were trying to be. This is interesting because “Closer” allowed them to become who they wanted to be. The song, written by Taggart, was performed by Taggart and Halsey. It broke ground as the Chainsmokers at the time were considered EDM, and EDM does not write or sing its own music. Pall and Taggart did not want to be EDM, they wanted to be legitimate artists. When asked why they decided to personalize their music Pall answered, “why not?” According to him, no one else was doing it.

“Not one of these DJs write their own lyrics,” Pall said, “We work with the songwriters and write the songs as well so they are about us.” This personal connection is all the duo is known for now. Each new release a perfect reflection of how they feel and where they are at. “Closer” was a groundbreaker in many ways. It is obvious from the interview that both Pall and Taggart felt it as well. According to Taggart, they did not want to become parodies of themselves, and the did not want to be one of a dozen remakes of the same song. They certainly are not.

One other thing that Pall commented in on is how they wanted their music to be a body of work. Each song connected with the other, and none of them serving as a mindless dance song. “Closer” was not just a dance song and the songs that have come after held the same standard.

Dr. Saad Saad: Vaccines Are Necessary For Humanity

Posted on - by MagShow

Most parents want to ensure that their children get the best medical treatment possible and will seek the guidance of doctors with a track record for providing great care for children.

Dr. Saad Saad is a pediatric surgeon who has saved the lives of thousands of children during his years in the medical profession. Although he is now retired, he still spends much of his time giving advice to concerned parents regarding a broad range of health topics. Learn more about Dr. Saad Saad: https://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Saad_Saad.html

One controversial topic that he has given his opinion on is whether a child should be vaccinated. There are many misconceptions regarding vaccinations. Dr. Saad Saad advises parents to always get their child vaccinated. He says vaccinations are perfectly safe and are necessary in order to eliminate some of the most dangerous diseases.

After a child has symptoms and goes to their doctor for a checkup, one of the first questions a parent will be asked is whether their child has had all of their necessary vaccinations. If a child has not received all their vaccinations, this could cause many potential problems. First, a child could get a dangerous disease that could have been prevented with a simple vaccine. Another issue is that the child may have already spread the disease to other children. Read more: Life Lessons from Dr. Saad Saad, Pediatric Surgeon

In some circumstances, it is possible that the children may get sick enough to need emergency medical treatment. A child may not be allowed to attend their daycare or return to school until they have completely recovered and get the approval of a doctor. This could also mean a parent may be forced to miss work. Missing work and mounting medical costs can hurt individuals financially. Getting vaccinations can not only save lives but may also save a lot of money in the long-run as well.

Dr. Saad Saad explains to parents that vaccines have been used for over a hundred years and have helped to eradicate some of the worst diseases known to man. One of his prime examples is the deadly smallpox disease. This disease was common throughout human history. It is estimated that smallpox alone has killed over hundreds of millions of people.

A vaccine was developed in the 19th century for smallpox, and by the 1980s, there were no more reported instances of smallpox. Other diseases, such as polio and mumps, were extremely common in the past, but due to vaccines, they have almost been completely killed off.

Dr. Saad Saad stresses to parents to ignore some of the misconceptions about vaccines. He assures parents that there is no evidence that they cause autism. Also, vaccines do not contain dangerous substances that are harmful to children. Dr. Saad Saad says the only individuals who should not get vaccines are infants younger than two months old and people with bad reactions to vaccines.

Vijay Eswaran: Finding Your Purpose in The Entrepreneurial World

Posted on - by MagShow

At some point in life, everyone develops the fear of the unknown. Since nobody is immune to the unpredictability of the future, many succumb to the fear thereby living stressful lives coupled with the need to be guided and consumed by anxiety. Others choose to pursue their dream careers and evolve with time. Comparing the two groups of people, the main difference is the choice to live at the moment and embrace positivity in order to acquire dreams. Vijay Eswaran joins the group of positive thinkers. He is a skilled business professional, a successful entrepreneur, an author, as well as a life coach.

Vijay Eswaran was born in a humble family background in 1960. He was raised by hardworking parents who held important positions in the society. His father was the founder of the Hindu Youth Organization. At a tender age, his family moved to different regions of Malaysia. Vijay Eswaran financed his education by serving as a cab driver in the United Kingdom. He majored in economics. After graduating, Eswaran traveled to Europe where a few companies employed him before he delved into business. When he started his entrepreneurial journey, Eswaran encountered challenges.

In his book, Sphere of Silence, Eswaran disintegrates his fears as an emerging entrepreneur. He reiterates that he didn’t have connections or funding to propel his success. But, he dared to try. He was lucky to network with like-minded individuals who aspired to start their business. Vijay Eswaran ventured into direct selling business. The industry faces tremendous challenges. Regardless, Eswaran established QI Group of Companies, an e-commerce based conglomerate with affiliates including telecommunications, corporate investments, and luxury products among others. The firm has regional offices Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, as well as Singapore. The company has regional presence in more than ten countries. Eswaran has since been using his success story to encourage young entrepreneurs.

Steve Richie: Optimistic Despite 3rd Quarter Numbers

Posted on by MagShow

The November 7th edition of Louisville Business First features an interview with Papa John’s CEO, Steve Richie. The interview, by Bridgett Weaver, gives Richie’s perspective on the future of Papa John’s. The article also highlights some of the challenges that Papa John’s is facing and rumors about an acquisition. In the interview Steve Richie acknowledges the company has challenges but focuses on the success of his reforms.

Steve Richie became CEO of Papa John’s in January. In the interview, Richie emphasizes that his focus on employees has improved customer sentiment. He believes his “Voices” campaign has shifted public opinion of Papa John’s from negative to at least neutral. Richie also points to his restructuring of his executive suite will generate positive results in the future. The restructuring involves focusing more on customer experience, menu strategy, and innovation and branding. Steve Richie optimistic moving into the 4th quarter pointing to strong North American sentiment and strong cash flows as evidence.

The article’s author counters Richie’s optimism with third-quarter earning reports which paint a different picture. The earnings report show declining same-store sales and earnings per share. She also mentions that Papa John’s has missed analysts’ expectations with shares being diluted. The author also points to plummeting share prices which happened in the late summer which only rebounded amid rumors of a possible acquisition. She points to a September Reuters article which backs up the rumor.

The article disputes Steve Richie’s optimism with hard third-quarter numbers. However, the author does not emphasize the short period of time Richie has been CEO. In the spirit of fairness Richie’s reforms cannot be judged by the results of one quarter. After all the man has been CEO for less than a year. The reforms Steve Richie discusses in the article will take at least a year to have an impact on the hard numbers. It is impossible to determine whether those reforms will be positive or negative at this time. You can read about Ritchie’s apology letter on Facebook.
