New Book Provides Roadmap to a Life of Freedom and Fulfillment


https://www.prweb.com/

Curt Mercadante

“You don’t have to be confined to live a lifestyle by default.”

A roadmap to build a life of freedom and fulfillment is what’s provided in “Five Pillars of the Freedom Lifestyle: How to Escape Your Comfort Zone of Misery”, a new book released today by author Curt Mercadante and published under the Lioncrest Publishing imprint.

“You don’t have to be confined to live a lifestyle by default,” said Mercadante. “You can design a lifestyle in which your relationships are excellent, your mental and physical health is excellent, in which you’re fulfilled by your job, and you spend your days doing things you want to do versus things you feel compelled to do.”

Are you fulfilled by your job? Are your relationships excellent? Is your mental and physical health excellent? Are the three facets of your life — self, family, work — aligned? These are some of the questions Mercadante asks in the book to help you determine if you have the freedom and fulfillment you deserve.

“We are autonomous human beings who have the ability to design the lifestyles we desire,” added Mercadante. “And you can get there by following the Five Pillars of the Freedom Lifestyle: Superpowers, Vision, Alignment, Outcomes, and Flow.”

Mercadante has founded six profitable businesses, including a seven-figure PR/ad agency he shut down at peak revenue to seek fulfillment. Now an international speaker, trainer, and Gallup-certified Strengths Coach, he helps individuals around the world find their fulfillment.

In “Five Pillars of the Freedom Lifestyle”, he masterfully breaks down the excuses holding you back from unlocking your personal superpowers. He provides strategic insight on how to build the life, relationships, and business you deserve.

The book is available in paperback or Kindle on Amazon or at FivePillarsofFreedom.com.

Blue Zones and Barry Community Foundation Launch Groundbreaking Countywide Transformation


“I am impressed with the local will and drive to make Barry County a better place to live, grow up, and grow old from the community leaders as well as local changemakers.”—Ben Leedle, CEO of Blue Zones

The Barry Community Foundation and other local leaders have joined forces with Blue Zones to begin a countywide well-being transformation in Barry County, Michigan through the Blue Zones Activate program. Blue Zones uses scientifically proven lessons of longevity, health, and happiness to boost the well-being of entire communities. Barry County is proud to be the first community in Michigan to partner with this innovative approach to increase community health and wellness.

Blue Zones Activate is based on research and principles developed by Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and New York Times bestselling author, who identified the cultures of the world—or blue zones—with the healthiest, longest-living populations.

Blue Zones focuses on the single largest determinant of our health: the place we live. By focusing on the places where people live, work, learn, and play, Blue Zones has been able to help communities move the needle in improving overall population health and reducing healthcare costs in hundreds of places around the country. The innovative strategy is built on the foundation of improving food and built environment policies that impact public health and health inequalities to increase the availability of healthy choices within the community

By optimizing the places where people spend most of their time, Blue Zones Activate helps communities with policy initiatives to create environments where healthy choices are easier and accessible to everyone. As a result, people can live longer and better, and communities can lower healthcare costs, improve productivity, and boost their city’s national recognition as a great place to live, work, and play.

As an official Blue Zones Activate community, world-renowned Blue Zones experts will work with local leaders and citizens of Barry County to implement policies that drive lasting and sustainable changes that will benefit the entire community and future generations to follow.

The Barry Community Foundation is the lead partner, with primary sponsorships from the MTC Community Fund, Spectrum Health Pennock, and Hastings Fiberglass, and supporting sponsorships from Highpoint Community Bank, Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, the DeCamp Foundation, Barry Community Foundation, Barry Eaton District Health Department and Barry County.

“The board of the Barry Community Foundation is committed to building a vibrant healthy community through our adaptation of Seven Elements of a Healthy Community. Specifically, our vision statement for Health Access is for our residents to have access to high-quality health services on a personal, community and systems level. Blue Zones is the perfect program to provide the means for our community to institute systemic pathways for a healthy community,” says Bonnie Gettys, President and CEO of the Barry Community Foundation.

Ben Leedle, CEO of Blue Zones, says: “I am impressed with the local will and drive to make Barry County a better place to live, grow up, and grow old from the community leaders as well as local changemakers. I’m excited to see the changes to come that will help make the region a healthy and thriving community for current and future generations.”

Combined Global UHNW Wealth Slumps for First Time in Three Years


Wealth-X, the world’s leading provider of data and insight on the wealthy, released the 7th edition of its annual World Ultra Wealth Report today. The report, which analyzes the state of the world’s ultra high net worth (UHNW) population (those with US$30m or more in net worth), reveals that this population showed muted growth in 2018, rising by 0.8% to 265,490 individuals. This subdued increase comes on the heels of a year of significant growth the prior year, when the population increased by nearly 13%.

The combined net worth of the UHNW population saw a decrease for the first time in three years, falling by 1.7% in 2018 to $32.3 trillion, implying a modest drop in the average net worth of the UHNW class, in part due to a late-year slump in investor sentiment and global equity markets.

Despite these findings, the World Ultra Wealth Report 2019 forecasts robust growth for the UHNW population, with a projected population increase to 353,550 individuals possessing a total combined wealth of $43 trillion by 2023.

Further key insights from the Wealth-X World Ultra Wealth Report 2019 include:


  • All seven regions of the globe saw a drop in ultra wealth: regional declines ranged from a marginal dip in the Middle East to a drop of 7% in Latin America and the Caribbean. Net worth in Asia fell at a faster rate than in both North America and Europe.
  • Population growth varied significantly across regions: there was robust growth in the UHNW populations of the Middle East, alongside a modest expansion of ultra wealthy numbers in North America and Europe. The other four regions posted falls in population, led by a 6% drop in Latin America and the Caribbean.
  • The US continues to lead in UHNW population: the leading country for UHNW individuals in 2018, the US accounts for a 31% global share. This compared with 9% for second-placed China, and nearly 7% for third-placed Japan.
  • New York regained its status as the world’s leading UHNW city from Hong Kong: in 2018 the top 10 UHNW cities accounted for 18.9% of the global ultra wealthy population. Modest ultra wealthy growth in New York was sufficient for it to regain the top spot as Hong Kong wealthy were impacted by the slump in Asian stocks and a softening Chinese economy.
  • Hong Kong has, by far the highest density of ultra wealthy individuals: at 1,364 for every million adults, Hong Kongs’ UHNW population density was considerably higher than the next-ranked countries of Switzerland, Luxembourg and Singapore – all established financial- services hubs – and more than four times the density of the US.
  • Women make up a larger portion of the global ultra wealthy population than ever before: the number of ultra wealthy women increased to nearly 39,000, equivalent to a record- high share of 14.6%. Among UHNW individuals below the age of 50, women account for almost one in five.

In addition to revealing a global view of the status and trends of the ultra wealthy, the World Ultra Wealth Report 2019 also examines the population based on their asset holdings, gender, industry focus, wealth source, and hobbies. From this insight, the report reveals ultra wealthy archetypes across three main age groups – under 50 years old, 50-70 years old, and over 70 years old.

The World Ultra Wealth Report 2019 leverages the proprietary information in Wealth-X’s Global Database of records on wealthy individuals, the largest of its kind in the world.

“DDQE” to pre-load and validate their quality measurement extracts for over two million members.


HDD has been a tremendous partner helping us look at our data in ways we never had before. DDQE enabled us to make improvements in quality measurement rates, reduce vendor spend, and build the processes to carry these practices on our own in the future,” said Dr. Kyle, Medical Director, Quality.

Over the last 10+ years and after kicking off over 50 new engagements, HDD found a recurring theme and business need among its client base: there is a dire need in a very short amount of time to have analytic ready data. Quality measurement and risk adjustment vendors, whom health plans constantly send vast amounts of data to, are not necessarily focused on data accuracy, trends and completeness and often uncover data issues too late to be properly addressed. Health plans need to address their data quality issues internally prior to these key reporting and revenue optimization initiatives. HDD has developed a systematic, organized, & step by step process to analyze member, provider, claims and pharmacy data before it is sent to any analytic vendor to ensure quality, governance, and completeness. This process and SQL-based rules engine HDD named their “Data Decision Quality Engine” or “DDQE.” DDQE has dramatically helped assess, map, strategize, and improve fundamental data quality which has led to significant rate improvement nationally.

L.A. Care and HDD have run 100+ DDQE rules across its data ensuring the proper data governance and referential integrity providing insight into opportunities for improvement across hundreds of incoming files from delegated plans, labs, state registries and risk-bearing provider networks. DDQE was also used as a foundational comparison between L.A. Care quality measure vendor platforms, during the first year of a large cut-over between the vendors.

About Health Data Decisions

Health Data Decisions is a Massachusetts-based health analytics firm founded in 2008. We offer strategic data solutions for health plans and vendors, bringing broad expertise in data management and analytics, medical economics, risk adjustment, HEDIS, CMS 5-Star, regulatory reporting, and systems strategy.

Attorney David A. Fernandez Leads the Charge Against Giant Third-Party Student Loan Creditors


News Image

Unfortunately, and unknown to the investors was that the mortgages sold did not have a paper trail and, consequently, when the third party sued the debtor for failure to pay on the note, the third-party creditor couldn’t prove they owned the account.

Fernandez, who has been named to the Top 100 Consumer Litigators in Texas, has handled 104 student loan cases, the majority of which went in favor of his clients over creditors, including National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, Navient, and Sallie Mae. “The result of 102 out of 104 cases defended is that my clients have not had to pay a penny to these industry giants, particularly National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, one of the nation’s largest holders of private student-loan debt,” said Fernandez.

As for National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, in 2017 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau took action against the company and its debt collector, Transworld Systems, Inc., for illegal student loan debt collection lawsuits. It was fined millions of dollars for “false” lawsuits, and ordered to temporarily halt collections.

These cases stem from private student loans that were sold by the original creditor, e.g. banks such as JP Morgan and Bank One, to third parties, including National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, Sallie Mae and Navient. Fernandez likens these student loan cases to the mortgage loan crisis in 2009 that caused extreme financial distress and a financial market crash. The reason for the crash was that the mortgages were bundled and securitized and sold to investors.

“Unfortunately, and unknown to the investors was that the mortgages sold did not have a paper trail and, consequently, when the third party sued the debtor for failure to pay on the note, the third-party creditor couldn’t prove they owned the account,” noted Fernandez. “It is the same here. When National Collegiate and the other third-party student loan creditors sue, they provide the defendant debtor with a number of documents that look official and seem to suggest the plaintiff owns the account, but after careful review of the documents, invariably there are problems regarding ownership of the account.”

When Fernandez and his firm take on one of these National Collegiate Student Loan Trust and other third-party student loan creditor cases they meticulously examine the student loan documents to determine whether the creditor can prove ownership of the account. “Although reviewing the records page by page is onerous, we do it and as you can see, we have had much success,” concluded Fernandez.

About David A. Fernandez, Law Office of David A. Fernandez

David A. Fernandez focuses his practice on debt defense, bankruptcy, fraud, personal injury, business litigation and wrongful death. He is a member of the Texas Bar Association, Consumer Law Section of the Texas State Bar Association, and State Bar of Texas.
