South African Film, New Material, To Have Worldwide Release On Streaming Platform Eventive

Global audiences can catch Riaad Moosa alongside Joey Rasdien, Schalk Bezuidenhout and a bevy of stellar South African talent in much-anticipated film release

The film will be available from 30 November worldwide on the streaming platform, Eventive, excluding South Africa, where ‘New Material’ is currently playing in cinemas exclusively.

After what has been a very difficult year for most people, New Material offers battle-weary South Africans and the global community a good laugh and a little respite from the gloom of the pandemic. “I think comedy is a great way to defuse pain and anguish,” says Riaad Moosa. “When we laugh together with family or friends or with strangers in a cinema, we are able to find release”.

In ‘New Material’, the much-loved character, Cassim Kaif (Riaad Moosa) is back and, together with his best friend Yusuf (Joey Rasdien) and opening act, Hendrik (Schalk Bezuidenhout), the three blaze a trail of mayhem across South Africa, with every stop of their comedy tour delivering a laugh-a-minute. While international fame beckons in the distance, Cassim has to deal with the immediate complications of the national tour all while balancing the demands of a marriage, a young child and living with his ageing parents.

‘New Material’ also stars Vincent Ebrahim (The Kumars at No 42, Material), Denise Newman (Material, Disgrace), Carishma Basday (Deep End, Material), Zakeeya Patel (The Girl from St Agnes, Material), Kurt Schoonraad (Tali’s Baby Diary, Skeem), Rajesh Gopie (Mayfair) and Shashi Naidoo.

It’s great virtual solution during the pandemic, and also for the future. We are delighted to be able to make New Material available to a global audience and we urge people to take the opportunity to see some of South Africa’s best comedians in action in this wonderfully heartwarming film.”

Farrah Smith: A Renowned Fundraising Professional Dedicated to Ocean Conservation & Animal welfare

Creative, Compassionate, Result-driven, and Risk-taker executive fundraising professional with entrepreneurial Passion, Drive, and Vision, Farrah Smith, Director of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, has navigated through 20 years of journey in generating revenue and increasing support bases for nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

She joined SSCS in 2011 and has spent a decade working here. She is also a proud member of Former Vice President Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leadership Corps. Farrah is a regular contributor to Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global and she is one of her Thrive Stars (Wellness Ambassador). As part of her commitment to empowering teens and young adults in leading happier, more intentional, productive, and purposeful lives she founded Farrah Smith Coaching.

An alumna of Brendon Burchard’s world-renowned High-Performance Coaching Academy is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Bruin Professionals (BP) member. Because of her outstanding work, the inspiring woman was named one of the Top 10 Life Coaches Who Will Elevate Your Life in 2021 by Yahoo Finance. She is also a proud TEDx speaker and TED member.

More about the Initiative

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd received the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) from the Liberian Ministry of Defense. The order is the highest military award given by the ministry.

The New Beginning

In 2008, Farrah was working as the Director of VIP Sales at City Center Residential, the biggest real estate project in North America, when she read this quote by Winston Churchill- “To each, there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for what could have been their finest hour.”

She was disappointed because she thought she was not “preparing for her moment” to make a difference in the world. Her passion had always been kids and animals, and she had lost sight of that while successfully climbing the corporate ladder. She knew it was time to put service over stature.

She determined the best way to do that was to transition to the nonprofit sector. At first, she was focused on helping land animals, but then she saw the show Whale Wars on Animal Planet. She loved how Captain Watson and the brave Sea Shepherd crew put their lives on the line to save whales. She thought, now these were people living a life of purpose and passion.

Having a background in sales and VIP relations made her the perfect candidate for the position they had open. Her years working with wealthy and high-profile clientele and hosting events for the entertainment industry were all preparing Farrah to be the right person, with the right skillset and the right connections to make a difference at her favorite charity. All the relationships she had made over the previous ten years in Los Angeles and Las Vegas came to be invaluable in her new role.

Here, she is responsible for major donors and she manages VIP Relations, which includes the Advisory Board members, celebrities, and their entertainment industry contacts for Sea Shepherd Productions.. She also organizes all the US-based high-profile fundraising events.

“Last month marked my 10th anniversary at Sea Shepherd. Over the past decade, I have had the incredible opportunity to raise millions of dollars to help protect the ocean and save marine wildlife. I feel honored to be a Sea Shepherd and surrounded by such devoted and passionate individuals all of whom I consider heroes. I am grateful to finally be living a life of purpose, making an impact on two of the causes that matter to me most, ocean conservation and animal welfare”, Farrah Smith proudly shared.

‘As our founder says, “If the oceans die, we die” so I have devoted my life to protecting all beings, human and animal’, she further added.

Hurdles on the Way

When asked about the primary challenges on the way, Farrah said, “Sea Shepherd has grown and evolved quite a bit over the last few years. For a long time, people thought of Sea Shepherd as an anti-whaling organization due to the popularity of Whale Wars, but we have always been an anti-poaching organization. It has taken people a little time to see that stopping illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is where we can have the greatest impact on protecting all marine wildlife, including the whales people love so much. Millions of sharks and over 300,000 whales, dolphins, and porpoises die each year from entanglement in fishing gear. I think people finally understand we are saving a lot more lives with our new approach of partnering with governments to stop IUU fishing.”

Daily Routine & Favourite Books

Farrah Smith begins her days at 5:30 am during the week. Then, she does meditation before shifting to her workday around 7:30 am or 8:00 am. Before she finishes, Farrah always takes time to reflect on the current day’s progress and determine where there is room for improvement. Often, she reads or takes courses in the evening. During weekends, the leading lady spends a majority of her time working as a life coach for teens and motivational speaker.

She loves reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, but her recent favorites include High-Performance Habits and Atomic Habits.

From the Director’s Desk

It can be seen that the model of cooperating with government bodies worldwide is showing increasingly good results. For example, just in Africa alone, Sea Shepherd’s work with eight coastal states has resulted in the arrest of over 70 vessels for illegal fishing and other fisheries crimes.

Cooperation, awareness, and education are the way forward to tackle the most critical issues we face today, whether it be climate change, overfishing, plastic pollution, or social justice.

A Piece of Advice for Female Entrepreneurs

There should be no “male-dominated industry” in the 21st century. We must all do our part in changing that for the younger generation of female leaders.

Favourite Quote

“Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot!” – Joe Vitale

Consistency is a Key: Brett Boyer

Being a leader in business today can be somewhat tricky at times but is needed now more than ever before! In order to be a great leader for those following you and your organization, try to keep it simple to maximize your effectiveness.

In an ever-changing world you must remain flexible, but most importantly you must be consistent. Consistency is the clay that allows the mold to remain in volatile environments. You must always know what your primary objective is in business and never lose focus of this. In order to cast the proper vision for your company and its personnel, never losing sight of why your company exists in the first place is crucial. This allows you to lead well into the unforeseen future and accomplish all you set out to do from the onset. I believe that being consistent as a leader is the premier quality that one must possess in order to lead successfully long-term.

One unique and inherent quality I feel the top leaders possess is the ability to empower and believe in others. They realize how valuable those they are surrounded by can be and see greatness in them. Not only do they see this greatness, but they are able to always make others feel valued and know their worth. Instead of being a “boss” who may tend to wear down his/her team in order to show power and control, a true leader will make everyone feel needed and wanted. By believing in and empowering others it allows them to achieve things they never thought possible. In the end, the culture of your company is that of a team mentality and not just an organizational chart to adhere to. The more valuable one feels the more value they will add and everyone wins in that scenario!

The culture drives the brand…the brand drives the company.

Being consistent and believing in others sounds like a simple idea, but it seems to have been lost as of late in the business world. I am excited for others to be able to keep it simple and change not only the trajectory of their business, but in turn, possibly the course of people’s lives.

You got this.

Robert Gauvreau: An Award-Winning Cpa, Supporting Entrepreneurs Advance Their Business With Innovative Financial Solutions

A pioneer of accounting, advisory, and taxation services, Gauvreau Accounting Tax Law Advisory is empowering business owners to improve their financial performance and ultimately grow their business under the leadership of Robert Gauvreau. At its core, Gauvreau was established in 2008 as an entrepreneurial CPA firm that offers innovative solutions to help advance entrepreneurs towards realizing financial freedom.

Robert Gauvreau is the founding partner and strategic leader acting as a business catalyst, an entrepreneur, a coach, a trusted advisor, an author, and an Out-of-the-box thinker. His 13+ years of entrepreneurial journey encompasses expertise in exceeding the financial expectations of entrepreneurs with innovative and proactive solutions.

Before establishing Gauvreau, Robert discovered his entrepreneurial spirt through his experiences working with different companies of different profiles including his first job in the sports retail marking field. He was able to experience for the first time that when he was informed enough to offer a solution that made clients happy and was a win for his company, not only did he receive recognition, but he also became a contributing force to the success of the business.

Later when Robert Gauvreau started University for Business Administration, he realized he would be graduating with 2,000 other people who had the same experience and education as his. Wanting to differentiate himself while staying true to the entrepreneurial mission in the back of his mind, he decided that his strengths in accounting and finance, his natural ability in helping others, and his energy for entrepreneurship created a unique opportunity to enter, energize and make a difference in the accounting industry.

Further, Robert apprised, “When I started working at a global CPA firm, I experienced first-hand how traditional the accounting industry was, which reinvigorated my desire to create something innovative, contribute more to the success of others and go for extraordinary things. It’s proven to be a successful journey so far. In 2008 when I started my own practice, I couldn’t have imagined the impact we would have, or that we would grow to be an industry leader in North America. There have certainly been some great moments and some challenging moments throughout my journey, but to now be here with a team of more than 35 professionals is an incredible accomplishment. The fact that these 35 incredible people are helping so many entrepreneurs fulfill their journey and maximize their impact is proof that we are accomplishing what we’ve wanted so far, with so much more to come.”

A GLANCE INSIDE THE FIRM AND ITS SERVICES

Gauvreau is a renowned CPA firm built to help entrepreneurs advance their business through proactive financial services. It offers accounting, bookkeeping, tax, and other compliance services. Recently they expanded their suite of business professional services (specialized tax, wealth management, and business financing) to offer legal services such as corporate restructuring, real estate acquisition, wills and estates, and more.

Another one of their latest creations is their online coaching program, The Ascent Peak Performance Program, to scale their ability to instill business owners with the knowledge and confidence they need to achieve success. Entrepreneurs can engage this program through independent, on-demand, self-paced courses, or through their Virtual CFO program which consists of group coaching, training, and a personalized business adviser helping map out an entrepreneur’s journey to financial success.

Recently, Gauvreau has been honoured with the 2021 Canadian SME Magazine’s National Award for Best Professional Services for its excellent support and service.

WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR DECISION TO BE AN AUTHOR?

Robert’s main motivation for authoring The Wealth Entrepreneur, was because his financial advisory services were delivering extraordinary results creating a demand that couldn’t be met through one-on-one consultations alone.

While the one-on-one time with the clients was rewarding, it limited his ability to share his guidance and create more impact in the entrepreneurial community. Creating the book was an economical way to share his financial expertise globally.

“Sharing our Vision to Results Framework in an accessible way not only added massive value to our existing clients but generated awareness of our expertise with the masses”, said Robert Gauvreau.

CLIENTELE & HICCUPS ON THE WAY

Gauvreau’s clientele includes entrepreneurs and business owners located across North America. The way they establish an unbreaking faith with their clients is through ensuring the delivery of quality, value, and trusted services. They cultivate and celebrate a culture in their company that reinforces this founded on their three core values. People. Passion. Integrity.

By continuing to find clients, team members, and partners that align with those values, the Gauvreau team works collectively and collaboratively towards the same objectives and with the same expectations of delivery in mind.

The main challenge Robert faced in his early phases of growth was attracting and recruiting the right people. As a small business establishing itself, Robert and his team were limited by resources to expand the way they wanted to. Additionally, operating in a conservative industry there was the added challenge of finding the right professionals who were willing to leave a secure position at a larger firm to join a small business. As they gained more momentum it became easier to attract and retain the best candidates and scale their capabilities.

FROM THE ROBERT GAUVREAU’S DESK

“The reason we were able to achieve all that we have is because of our willingness to take a chance investing in our team and innovation. Without these calculated risks we wouldn’t have achieved the growth and momentum that we have today. These investments have enabled us to create high-impact, innovative services that distinguish us in the marketplace and allowed us to scale at an accelerated rate.”

“I have made significant investments to work with the best of the best business coaches and communities to learn from their success in areas outside my expertise and industry. Their guidance has been invaluable and the experience inspiring”, said Robert when asked about his support system.

A DAY IN ROBERT GAUVREAU’S LIFE

Robert Gauvreau kicks off every day with a group call together with the entire team to discuss what everyone is working on, any roadblocks, and how the leadership team can support them. His day also includes collaborating with community partners, creating new strategic relationships, helping support the leadership team, completing quality control on ongoing work in the firm, reviewing client acquisition, developing new resources/training, facilitating 1-on-1 or group coaching calls or any number of public relations commitments including speaking at events, podcasts, within online communities or contributing articles to business publications.

PLANS AHEAD

The future of our business is limitless. Robert’s highest priority is helping the entrepreneurial community be as successful as possible in impacting change in the world. The future growth trajectory continues to evolve and as the firm continues to strive to be the #1 financial expert that entrepreneurs turn to; countless opportunities exist to expand into other disciplines to provide the greatest value possible to the clients.

Robert shared, “My personal goal as a leader is to continue to create a team of the best professionals who share my passion and build a business that I can provide direction to but ultimately operates day-to-day without me. The recent developments that I am most excited about are our expansion into legal services and offering a new collaborative approach between legal and accounting that will add even greater value to business owners. Looking forward to 2022, I am also excited to be hosting our annual Ascent Summit in January that focuses on providing entrepreneurs with insights on unlocking the full financial potential of their businesses.”

Matthews Healthcare Education is a first of its kind for Illinois’ job seekers

“Matthews” started July 5 th , 1978.

His name was Matthew A Collura he died in February 2002, but the impact of his life would be eternal. Matthew would make an impact on countless lives who never knew him.

It was an important message that we feel at this time needs to be shared. A question that needs an answer. Why? Why did we start Matthews Healthcare Education? Matthew was everything you hope to have in a Brother. Someone that is caring of others, fights for what is right, has impeachable integrity and above all else inspires others without effort. Matthew the boy grew into Matthew the man and embodied everything that was good in a person. He was the best of us, and his life was tragically lost just as it began.

In 2008, Michael A Collura Matthews eldest Brother, finally had the chance to properly say goodbye to his younger sibling. He built a one of a kind training program that, like Matthew himself, embodied everything that was good about people. Matthews Healthcare Education was created, and, in that moment, Matthew was part of Michael’s life again.

Today Matthews is among the first and only programs approved to operate by the Private Business and Vocational Schools Division of the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

Aside from being just as unique as the man himself, Matthews has set out to develop and deliver a training program allowing its students to obtain real world, high demand and employment ready skills in the health care industry, specifically focusing on the most in demand of our time, caregivers.

The program, now approved by the Board of Higher Education, is the embodiment of the spirit of Matthew and over the past decade plus of operation it has developed a reputation for producing some of the best caregivers in the market. It now readies itself to launch in all 50 states by January 2022!

Matthews Healthcare Education is intended to do good, and it does. It provides training, skills and continuing education at a low cost and fast pace allowing its participants to join a growing job market that is in high demand and with secure income potential.

“This is not a celebration of an achievement for the business. This is a celebration of what has been achieved in the name of a young man that mattered. My Brother, who I miss every day, and who I hope is proud of what has been created in his name.” -Michael A Collura, President Matthews Healthcare Education

Matthews Healthcare Education is on the frontline of rebuilding the local community, the job market and the healthcare system. It is achieving these milestones in the midst of a pandemic. Why? Because Matthew himself cared for people, he would fight for what is right, his integrity was beyond reproach and he inspired. As such, so do we.

More breaking news on Matthews! Now until July 5th, 2022 the entire online catalog and courses offered through Matthews in all 50 States is FREE to everyone and anyone in celebration of the life and inspiration behind this mission and brand.
