Millennial Entrepreneur Farhan Munshi’s Secret to Developing Multi-Million Dollar Companies

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / Farhan Munshi may only be 23 years old, but he's incredibly skilled when it comes to developing global multi-million dollar companies from the ground up. It's hard enough to start a business that doesn't fail within the first year or two, let alone a business that is generating eight figures every year and has a presence around the world. Yet, this is what Farhan Munshi has accomplished. This eCommerce guru knew how to identify trends, offer products related to those trends, and get them to go viral.

Since Farhan Munshi is a millennial, he knows how to leverage the power of social media to drive online sales. In fact, he's miles ahead of even most of his peers when it comes to this. Using the tried-and-true strategy for increasing sales, Farhan was able to amass over $30 million in revenue. He has truly built an empire, and at such a young age.

Farhan's eight-figure success has stunned his parents, who originally were hoping for him to become a doctor. Since they believed this was a surefire way to enjoy a comfortable income, they were hoping he would follow their guidance. However, Farhan had other plans. He knew something that his parents didn't. He understood that the internet has revolutionized how money is made. Anyone can become self-educated relatively quickly in the world of eCommerce and run a successful online business.

While expectations for Farhan were high, he not only met them but overwhelmingly surpassed them. Still, the expectations people like his parents had for him weren't met precisely the way they had hoped they would be. Getting a job working for someone else, marrying, and settling down just wasn't for him. Farhan had a clear vision of what success would be for him, and he ran toward it.

Thanks to his stellar success, Farhan was able to buy his own house when he was just 19 years old. It only took four years from then to reach that $30 million in revenue he enjoys today. Being nowhere near retiring, for Farhan, it's all about building an empire. That means he's in this for the long haul. Only time will tell what else he has up his sleeve of success.

Farhan is an entrepreneur who always seems to stay motivated. In fact, he says that if he didn't wake up every single day feeling motivated and ready to take on the day, then there was absolutely no way he would have reached the level of success that he enjoys today. That can be a lesson for all of us if we want to achieve great things.

If he was to give just one piece of advice, it would be to stop letting your ego sit in the passenger seat of your life. Fear is the success killer, and overcoming fear is what allowed Farhan to take the crucial step necessary to grow his business and improve his life. Courage and confidence led to his unbrindled success.

You can follow Farhan on his Instagram page to keep up with the latest from this successful eight-figure millennial entrepreneur.

This Gen Z Entrepreneur Has a Consulting Empire Called AK Chefs That Is Every Sneaker Reseller’s Dream

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / Ari Sarafyan may be very young, but he has the mindset of a true entrepreneur. In 2017, he established AK Chefs, which provides helpful consulting to people looking to get into the sneaker reselling business. This is an industry that is projected to reach $6 billion by 2025, and is currently hovering around $2 billion. With mostly teens and 20-somethings interested in being a part of this industry, you could consider it a Gen Z moneymaking niche that has caught on like wildfire.

Today, AK Chefs boasts thousands of members, all of which have access to alerts on the latest product drops, tutorials on how to be a successful reseller, and even shopping bots that speed up the buying process. For just $50 a month, members have access to all of this, and even more.

While sneakers were where it all started, that's not all that is focused on today. Ari has since branched out into funko reselling, stock investing, ticket reselling, random flips, and sports betting. He's looking to even further branch out and seeks out anything that's currently popular that can be resold.

From its roots on the Discord platform with just Ari at the helm, AK Chefs has dozens of staff members today who help users with everything they need to learn how to be successful in the resell business, while continually making a profit.

This is truly a consulting business that is every reseller's dream. It's no surprise that it has become the best "cooking" group to learn about how to become a successful reseller. Ari has been involved in three years of painstaking work, usually putting in 85 hours a week, perfecting it. Today, he enjoys the fruits of his labor, even if that means he is still spending quite a bit of time on the day-to-day operations of the business.

He's more recently partnered with his brother Larry to create a new online sneaker marketplace called Motion. This, he hopes, will forge a new path in online sneaker eCommerce, using the sneakers he snagged during shoe drops as ones he resells on Motion. He sees this as a way for people who aren't patrolling sneaker boutiques and manufacturers for the latest drops to get a pair of shoes. Oftentimes, people simply don't have the time or technical know-how to get the latest sneakers when they are released. Motion gives them a second chance, even if it does so at a premium.

Ari prides himself on the customer service he provides. He wants to see people become successful resellers through AK Chefs, while becoming happy and satisfied customers through Motion. He is completely committed to giving it his all, every day.

You can follow Ari on Instagram to find out about what he's up to, and also make sure to take a look at AK Chefs and see if it's something you want to use as a path to entrepreneurial success in the reselling industry.

Hamilton Chukyo Brokerage Comments On Perella Weinberg Seeking IPO

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / Finance executives at Toronto-based Hamilton Chukyo Brokerage have today commented on boutique investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners as it seeks to take its advisory business public via a special purpose acquisition company in a deal valuing the business unit at $1 billion.

"If the deal goes ahead, Perella Weinberg Partners will join a long list of companies that have shunned the traditional IPO process in favour of a Special-purpose acquisition company vehicle," commented Michael Williams, Head of Private Wealth Management at Hamilton Chukyo Brokerage.

Perella Weinberg Partners asset management business, which holds $10 billion in assets, would remain independent.

According to data collected by Hamilton Chukyo Brokerage, Perella Weinberg Partners, which was founded in 2006 by seasoned brokers Joseph Perella and Peter Weinberg, is planning list at the beginning of 2021.

Special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) have been one of the hottest products on Wall Street this year, with a whopping $55 billion raised. The special purpose acquisition vehicles use money generated on the stock market to seek out private firms and take them public.

The structure has been criticized for the incentives offered to vehicle sponsors as well as the form of due diligence being carried out on firms that emerge with a public listing without needing to go through the traditional regulatory and investor analysis of an IPO.

"Perella Weinberg Partners has been aiming to go public for many years. The company hired advisory firms Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase to manage an offering in late 2018, and made crucial leadership changes in preparation for the listing," commented Anthony Roberts, Head of Institutional Trading at Hamilton Chukyo Brokerage.

Mr Weinberg became the company's chief executive last year, while Bob Steel, who joined Perella Weinberg Partners in 2014 as chief executive, became chairman of the firm.

By going public, Perella Weinberg Partners will join other boutique investment companies including Evercore, Greenhill, Lazard and, more recently, Moelis & Co. Its listing strategy arrives as merger and acquisition activity has intensified in recent weeks after a significant slowdown earlier in the year due to uncertainty relating to the pandemic.

The fourth quarter of 2020 has so far been the third-best in two decades for mergers and acquisitions. Since the start of October, $612 billion of deals have been signed, up from $461 billion over the same period in 2019 and $491 billion in 2018.

Lucky Identifies Multiple Gold Zones with Bulk Tonnage Potential at the Sherman Prospect

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / Lucky Minerals Inc. (TSXV:LKY)(OTC PINK:LKMNF)(FRA:LKY) ("Lucky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has identified an area with good potential for a large tonnage low grade type target at the Sherman Prospect. This area is characterized by 1 mm wide sheeted type quartz veins hosted in schists (up to 1.66 g/t gold), and two stockwork quartz vein zones comprised of less than 1 mm up to 3 cm wide quartz veins hosted in a meta-granite (up to 0.477 g/t gold). (Refer to map of sample & assay locations).

Lucky's CEO, Mr. Francois Perron stated: "The discovery of three zones with bulk tonnage potential at the Sherman prospect is exciting. While still early in the exploration program, it is encouraging to discover this type of mineralization. Part of the upcoming field work will focus in this area".

Sherman Prospect – Quartz veins in schists and stockwork quartz veins in meta-granites

The Sherman prospect was initially explored based on regional features, namely quartz veins, identified as trending northeast and northwest. The current area of interest lies at the intersection of these two regional trends. This area of Sherman lies within the intersection of quartz veins (0.20 m – 1.0 m wide) that trend northwest, and a system of quartz veins (1.0 m – 3.0 m wide) that trend northeast. It appears that within the area of vein intersections (Sherman Prospect), the meta-granites have been subjected to strong brittle fracturing, thus allowing hydrothermal fluids to migrate and deposit quartz-pyrite as narrow veins within fractures in the meta-granite.

Lucky has now received all the remaining analytical results from rock chip samples taken from the northwestern section of the Sherman Prospect (Fortuna 4 concession).

Please click here to view table of gold sample results (in ranges) from the total number of rock chip samples taken at Sherman. Note: 1 ppm = 1 gram.

Though still early stage, Lucky is very excited about this significant area, as it may have potential for a large tonnage low grade type target. Of interest is that the rivers and creeks at the Sherman Prospect flow into the Shincata River, where alluvial gold operations have occurred for over 300 years and continue to the present day.

Please click her to view the Sample & Assay Map showing the locations of anomalous zones 1,2 & 3 on the Sherman Prospect.

Geological field work has identified three zones with significant potential for large tonnage mineralization at Sherman. Zones 1 and 2 are characterized by stockwork quartz veins (1 mm to 3 cm wide) with disseminated pyrite and iron oxides, hosted in a meta-granites (up to 0.477 g/t gold), and zone 3 is characterized by narrow quartz veins hosted in schists. At this time, macroscopic examination of the meta-granites shows no alteration.

Next Steps

Current compilation efforts will include completing the analysis of multi-element rock geochemistry and a more detailed review of the structural geology of the area explored. More detailed field work, such as mapping, and sampling is needed between zones 1 and 2. These two zones are separated by approximately 1.7 km. Zone 3 lies approximately 1.5 km southwest from zone 2. The next step will include detailed field reconnaissance, trenching and sampling. This work will help to understand and define the size of the area, the behaviour of the quartz vein stockwork and its gold content. Permitting for hand trenching is currently underway.

All rock samples were submitted to ALS Chemex laboratories in Quito for prep work, and the analytical work was completed at their lab facility in Lima, Peru. ALS Chemex is an ISO certified and accredited laboratory. QA/QC protocols were in place and included the insertion of a coarse blank, a standard and a duplicate sample on every batch of 25 samples.

Great Atlantic Confirms New Gold Soil Anomaly 500 Meters long and 200 Meters Wide Never Drilled

100% Owned Golden promise Property Central Newfoundland

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has confirmed a zone of gold soil geochemical anomalies in the southwest region of its Golden Promise Gold Property. The property is located within the central Newfoundland gold belt. The Company refers to the zone of gold soil anomalies, defined by 2018 – 2020 soil sampling, as Gold Soil Anomaly 1. Key points are:

Gold soil anomalies within a zone at least 500 meters long, with an apparent width of approximately 90-200 meters (defined by 4 sample lines).

Approximately 78% of samples (22 of 28 samples) within the zone are anomalous for gold, including 6 samples exceeding 30 ppb gold (up to 77 ppb gold).

New target area – never been drilled.

Great Atlantic initially identified local gold soil geochemical anomalies during 2018 reconnaissance sampling within the southwest region of the Golden Promise Property, approximately 4 kilometers northeast of the Linda / Snow White gold bearing quartz vein system. Soil samples within a distinct anomalous zone returned up to 77 parts per billion (ppb) gold (Company News Release of September 27, 2018). Historic gold soil anomalies were reported in this region. The 2018 gold soil anomalies were discovered along two parallel northwest-southeast trending sample lines.

The 2020 soil sampling further confirmed this zone of gold soil anomales, which the Company refers to as Gold Soil Anomaly 1. Multiple soil samples collected during 2020 along two east-west sample lines in the area of the 2018 sample lines returned anomalous gold values. The combined 2018 and 2020 soil samples identify an apparent north – south zone of gold soil anomalies being at least 500 meters long with an apparent width of approximately 90-200 meters. Approximately 78% of the 2018 and 2020 samples (22 of 28 samples) within this anomalous zone returned anomalous values for gold of 5 ppb and greater. Half of the samples within this anomalous zone returned 10 ppb and greater for gold while six samples returned 31-77 ppb gold. Sampling to date indicates the anomalous zone to be open to the north and may continue to the southeast.

The Golden Promise Gold Property hosts multiple gold bearing quartz veins. The most significant of these are the Jaclyn Main Zone, located in the northern region of the property. The Company reported a 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for the JMZ during December 2018 (Company News Release of December 6, 2018). The Company is currently conducting a Phase 2 diamond drilling program at the Jaclyn North Zone which hosts gold bearing veins.

The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of the Golden Promise Property occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known as the RIL. The RIL forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSX.MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV.NFG) at the Queensway Project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, Moosehead Gold Project, and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Golden Promise Property.

The Company is planning additional prospecting / rock geochemcial sampling and ground geophysical surveys in the area of Gold Soil Anomaly 1 during 2021 to assist with interpretation of bedrock geology and to identify possible gold bearing structures. The results will be used to identify sites for trenching and diamond drilling.

The 2018, 2019 and 2020 soil samples within the area of Gold Soil Anomaly 1 were analyzed for gold (Fire Assay and AA analysis) and for 34 elements (four acid digestion and ICP-OES analysis) at Eastern Analytical Ltd. Eastern Analytical Ltd. is independent of Great Atlantic.

David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and VP Exploration for Great Atlantic, is responsible for the technical information contained in this News Release.

CEO J. Michael Heil states: "Everyone was understandably concerned about the impact on business the Covid-19 Pandemic would have, as it expanded exponentially at the end of the second quarter of this year. Our team worked diligently to provide uninterrupted services to all our client cable tv systems and even generate increased advertising, despite the complicated circumstances. We remained active and engaged in developing our business plan and aggressively continued development of our new technologies and services. Our persistence resulted in our third quarter being the best reporting period we ever completed in the company's history. Adding to that achievement, ad spending has remained strong throughout the fourth quarter of 2020 and we currently expect that this quarter will report the most revenue of any fourth quarter in the Company's history."

Top Things To Consider When Shopping For Car Insurance

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website has recently launched an online guide that presents the main aspects that must be analyzed when shopping for car insurance.

Drivers looking to purchase car insurance should take some things into consideration. No one should spend hard-earned money on something useless to them. In the case of car insurance, there is always the risk of buying an insurance product that doesn't provide enough coverage. This happens quite often to consumers who are not well-informed on how the car insurance market works.

When buying auto insurance drivers should consider the next things:

Consider shopping online. Thanks to the internet, buying auto insurance is faster and easier than ever. Most insurance providers will allow their customers to purchase car insurance while using the insurer's website. Besides that, many insurance carriers are offering a discount that can be between 5% to 10% to those drivers that choose to purchases their insurance policies online.
Talk with an insurance agent. If some terms and conditions of the insurance policy are unclear, drivers should request the help of an insurance agent. Even though the services of an insurance agent are not free, it is always better to spend some money in order to avoid making a mistake. Insurance agents can provide the needed explanations and they can also help the drivers to customize their policies.
Consider bundling policies. One of the easiest methods used to save money on car insurance is bundling. Most insurers will offer generous discounts to those customers who are bundling two or more policies. Usually, drivers are bundling the car insurance policy with the homeowner's policy at the same insurance company.
Pay in advance for the whole policy. Drivers who choose to pay a single premium in advance will be rewarded with a discount. The insurance companies are offering this discount because they are saving some administrative costs.
Make the car safer. Besides being cheaper to insure, safer cars will better protect the passengers and are less likely to be stolen. Policyholders should contact their insurers to check what safety and anti-theft devices are approved and will lower the price of car insurance.

Meet Bust Down Customs: The Premium Yet Accessible Jewelry Brand That Is Revolutionizing The Industry

GARDENA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2020 / Jewelry should be both affordable and accessible without compromising quality.

This was the vision that brothers and friends Joey Macias, Alex Macias, Chris Macias, and Brian Loudermilk developed out of a mutual desire to find quality pieces that wouldn't break the bank.

Growing up in Southern California, the brotherhood possessed an affinity for fine jewelry but didn't always have the funds to bring their style dreams to fruition. Today's buyers crave two things: quality and transparency in the brands they buy from. In a world of digitalization, greater visibility, and much-needed accountability, brands can no longer put on a front. Perhaps being born with a smartphone in hand generates a notable BS detector, but if Gen Z has taught the industry anything, it's that bells and whistles to cover up shady practices won't be tolerated. When Joey Macias began to hone his dream of a luxury, yet affordable jewelry line, it was accompanied by an intrinsic desire to be able to give back to marginalized communities much like their own.

Joey Macias, Founder of Bust Down Customs

How did you come up with the idea for Bust Down Customs?

Chris Macias: Jewelry has always been something we've been into, however growing up we didn't have the means to buy jewelry. In high school, our dream would have been to find great quality gold pieces that we could afford. So when we started this business, we knew we had to offer good quality at an affordable price.

When was Bust Down Customs conceptualized?

Joey Macias: I had the idea a few years ago, and began to take baby steps to bring it into actualization. However, I was busy with work and school so it wasn't until the pandemic hit in 2020 that I began to dedicate my time to the brand so I brought my brothers and Brian along for the journey. We are a Black and Mexican owned company, which has contributed to our bond and business decisions.

Brian Loudermilk, CFO Bust Down Customs

How has being a first generation American impacted your vision for starting this brand?

Joey Macias: Growing up, our parents did their best to keep us in the best neighborhoods and enrolled in the top schools. This was an incredible opportunity but it also meant that we were often the minority in our classrooms. I never really felt like we fit in. When I decided to drop out of college for a period of time, I felt this feeling of non-belonging even more deeply. It wasn't until I created this company with my brothers and best friends that I began to feel like I truly belonged. That feeling of belonging is something I dream of being able to give everyone. A necklace can't necessarily change someone's life experience, but if I can make owning quality jewelry accessible to other kids like me, it feels like a step in the right direction.

What was the experience of founding a company during a global pandemic?

Brian Loudermilk: It was a unique experience. Quarantine provided us with more time to launch the brand, but we've had our fair share of struggles. We are determined not to let these hard times define us. Instead of being beaten down by our situation, we decided to take this volatile time and turn it into an opportunity.

Brian Loudermilk, CFO wearing stacked silver Figaro's

Are you all still students?

Brian Loudermilk: Yes, we all are active students, attending USC, Claremont McKenna, and El Camino. Being a student while running a business is difficult, but also presents a unique opportunity. Although we may lack time, we've leveraged the relationships school brings to really get this business off and running.

How do you stay motivated amid so much uncertainty?

Alex Macias: We've always openly acknowledged that the only way we'll fail with this business is if we give up. If we never give up we'll always keep learning and getting better. Of course, there are difficult times, but with this mindset, we just keep pushing and utilize each challenge as a learning opportunity.

Have there been many challenges thus far?

Chris Macias: While there have certainly been hurdles, we've found by treating people right and always trying to do the right thing, things typically end up alright. We recognize that when people are buying from us, it's more than just a transaction. They want to know their money is buying them a quality, timeless piece and that their support is making a difference, this is why we have a one year warranty and give a portion of our proceeds to charity.

Model wearing Bust Down Customs Silver Cubans Stacked

Wow! A one year warranty is pretty big, what led to that decision?

Joey Macias: It all comes back to truly believing in the product. When we were first getting started, I tested out countless suppliers until I found the right fit. We value the experience that our customers have with our product and we want that experience to be a great one, 100% of the time. We would never sell a product that we didn't believe in. Many of the people who are passionate about our product gave it a chance just to support us but ended up being stunned by the quality. This is the type of experience that leads to referrals and word of mouth promotions.

Chris Macias, Co-Founder of Bust Down Customs

What else are you doing to make a difference?

Alex Macias: We give a portion of our proceeds to two charitable organizations, Know Your Rights Camp and Immigration Equality. Each time a customer makes a purchase, we want them to know their money is going towards making change. Know Your Rights Camp was founded by Colin Kaepernick, they work to educate black and brown youths on their rights, empowering them to organize and express their voices. Immigration Equality is committed to fighting for justice for LGBTQ+ immigrant rights. Coming from immigrant parents, we are committed to fighting for change. These two organizations promote the messages and social change we believe in.

Alex Macias, Co-Founder of Bust Down Customs.

What can we expect in the coming months from your brand?

Joey Macias: We have a big season coming up! We're looking forward to a massive Black Friday sale, spreading the word about our brand, and getting in front of as many new customers as possible. Every customer we've sold to thus far has been awed by the product and our attention to detail. We can't wait to get it into more hands this year and continue to exceed the expectations of those we are honored to sell to.
