Troy Caruso brings an interesting blend of skills to his position as CEO of Radium2 Capital. He began his career working on construction sites, giving him firsthand knowledge about what it's like to be the guy on the ground bringing somebody else's idea to fruition. Later, he studied the inner workings of the financial sector to get the kind of practical business background entrepreneurs expect from their lenders. Both skill sets are imperative to the success of Radium2 Capital, an alternative finance company based on Long Island, New York that helps startups access the capital they need to start a viable business. Saddling an entrepreneur with a loan they cannot repay doesn't help anybody, a problem prevented by Caruso's business experience. He also has experience working on the front lines, allowing him to offer real world solutions that a more traditional lender may not. This unique blend has established Troy Caruso as a thought leader in the alternative fi...

Kavi_TheMC is an Independent artist reppin' in Long Island. He sings, raps, and writes his own songs. We have conducted an interview with him. What inspires you to write "PSA (Mos Def- Mathematics)"? What inspired me to write PSA is the constant injustices Minority citizens of the United States face. I feel that Police Brutality has become a major problem yet again, not that it hasn't always been. However I feel like it's being filmed more and more, yet nothing is being done to stop it. I also feel like America is a country that's more entertained and less informed. I feel like there's a lot missing from our Education Systems. Part of me can't help to think people would rather live in their own ignorance than to face whats going on and hold themselves along with the powers that be accountable. Which phase/s in your entire song writing process do you enjoy the most? Which is the most challenging? I really enjoy my emphasis of them, the...

William J. Fiorilli is a newly published Science Fiction author, self published on Amazon . We have conducted an interview with him about his writing and the latest book, Blue Dot Book One . Please share with us more about what inspires you to be a writer? I started to write because I've always loved to read. As a boy, my favorite place to go was the bookstore, and when I'd go to other stores with my parents most kids would ask for toys, but I would want them to buy me another book. The more I'd read about certain stories and characters, the more my mind would wander and want to create my own characters and worlds and situations. Despite writing on an amateur level my whole life, it was only recently that I decided to start self-publishing. I'm glad I waited this long, because I think my writing has matured over the years, and I'm ready to publish now. Which kind of books do you read? What kind of books do you want to write? I've always been draw...

Randi Glazer , a lifetime Long Islander, has been intrigued by wines for over 10 years. When not tasting wine, Randi Glazer is a professional with many years of experience in domestic and international underwriting for admitted and non-admitted Property, and Inland Marine risks. We have conducted an interview with her. When were you first intrigued by wines? I’ve always had at least a passing interest in wine, but it was only a few years ago that I began to develop a deeper appreciation for all that goes into making a truly remarkable wine. As I began to learn more and more about the process and all the considerations a winemaker must take into account, I found that I began to experience a greater degree of enjoyment in tasting and, eventually, making wine myself. Obviously, being in such close proximity to a region so well known for winemaking certainly played a fairly significant role in piquing my interest in wine and winemaking. Which is your favourite wine? It is ...
