Don't Let the Airlines Ground Your Luggage
Atara Dzikowski
Founder and CEO
Samsara Luggage
As of Jan. 15, many of the top airlines, including American, United and Southwest Airlines, will not permit passengers to fly with smart luggage carry-ons or checked-in luggage that contain non-removable lithium batteries, which typically power smartphones and other devices. Says Dzikowski: "These new restrictions are a setback to the smart suitcase trend that has been disrupting the luggage space in recent years. Prior to the ban, bags with USB charging ports, motorized wheels and other 'smart' tech features were met with great fanfare from consumers. Now it comes down to survival of the fittest, and which bags actually are, well, smart. As long as the passenger demonstrates the ability to extract the battery from the luggage, they are permitted to proceed passed final security checks. It's important to incorporate all the electronic components of the bag into one unit that is removable -- this way, there is always an option for the bag to be totally electronic free and comply with the new airline regulations."
Dzikowski is available to share more industry insight on this trending topic. She can also share experiences about launching a consumer product in today's market where barriers to entry are lower than ever, the competition among consumer products, and the power of crowd-funding campaigns to drive e-commerce models. Samsara is one of several smart luggage brands that incorporates all the tech features of the bag into one unit that is removable, ensuring there is an option for the suitcase to be totally electronic free when needed.

Eating Clean and Getting Lean
Jonathan Jordan
Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Group Fitness Instructor, Fitness Blogger
Jonathan Jordan Fitness
"Nutrition is both simple and complex. It's simple in that if we want to lose weight, we need to burn more calories than we eat (and vice versa if we want to bulk up). But genetic, environmental, lifestyle, psychological and social factors can affect our individual nutritional needs, making them more complex. 'Flexible dieting' isn't a diet; it's a nutritional concept where you have a daily calorie and macronutrient (carbohydrate, protein and fat) target, and as long as those specific numbers are achieved, then food selection is left up to your personal preference."
Jordan, an award-winning personal trainer, nutrition coach, group fitness instructor and fitness blogger, offers his clients personalized fitness programs and nutritional advice to coach them towards healthier, sustainable lifestyles. Formerly a partner at a large consulting firm, he understands the physical and mental challenges that busy professionals experience daily, and takes each client's unique lifestyle demands into consideration when creating his fitness programs. He also offers corporate wellness consulting to leading businesses around the Bay Area. His blog, JJ Fit 24/7, and Instagram offer practical, effective and free videos, advice and tips each week. Jordan just launched his first e-book, "JJ's Guide to Eating Clean and Getting Lean," which provides readers with a framework and tools for eating to their body composition goals that will still allow them to enjoy their lives.

New Year's Resolutions: Ready to Give Up? Adjust Your Perspective
Sandra Joseph
Author
"Actors know rejection intimately. We hear 'no' dozens, if not hundreds, of times before we hear 'yes.' Still, we stand in those cattle-call lines before the sun rises. We persevere out of love -- and maybe a touch of madness. As actor Will Smith once said, 'There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe something different can happen.'"
Joseph holds the record for the longest-running leading lady in the longest-running Broadway show of all time, spending nearly a decade playing Christine Daaé in "The Phantom of the Opera." Today, she is on a mission to empower other people's voices through her work as an author, speaker and workshop facilitator. Joseph has been seen on numerous national broadcasts, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show," CNN, "The Today Show," "Dateline," "The Early Show," "The View" and "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" She also coauthored "Your Creative Soul: Expressing Your Authentic Voice," with five-time New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss. Joseph's new book, "Unmasking What Matters: 10 Life Lessons from 10 Years on Broadway," launches on January 23, 2018, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of "Phantom." Joseph is married to her "Phantom" costar, actor Ron Bohmer. They live in San Diego.

Facing Fear, Goddess Style
Ava Miles
Author
"Facing fear is about recognizing the stories and beliefs you have going on that feed the roots of your fears so you can weed them out goddess-style. It's about acting from the heart, the seat of courage."
Miles, an international bestselling author, calls herself a divine rockstar -- something she believes everyone is deep down. With a B.A. in rhetoric and technical writing and Spanish, and two graduate degrees, one in international peace studies and another in political science, Miles spent many years traveling the world and sharing her gifts with women and men in war-torn countries, helping them to rebuild and reintegrate their communities amidst intense struggle. She has managed multi-million-dollar projects and multi-national teams of people in the private sector, in non-profits and in domestic and international agencies, as well as multilateral organizations such as the United Nations. Now, she brings that experience together with her passion for sparking joy and personal success in people's lives, launching an all-new series of life-fulfillment books called "The Goddess Guides to Being a Woman." With nine books in total, "The Goddess Guides" invite us all to reimagine what it means to be a modern woman -- on our own terms.
