At Myrtos, we love to read about what's happening in #prisons that lead to increased #employment opportunities for those being released. This is a great example of how men and women in prison are being trained in an industry that they can get meaningful work in.
Plus, #coffee is awesome, so at Myrtos, we're even more positive about these initiatives.
If you would like a conversation to understand more about what hiring someone who has recently left prison might look like and how we, at Myrtos, can support you, then contact us to book in a #free conversation 🤩.

Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month
This May, all of us at Zeal Capital Partners honor and celebrate the rich history and contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders.
In the vibrant tapestry of the global economy, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) play a crucial role as dynamic entrepreneurs and innovators. Across the US and the world, AANHPI entrepreneurs are making significant contributions to education, financial markets, healthcare, and more. The unique experiences and diverse cultural backgrounds of AANHPI entrepreneurs often inspire their ventures, infusing their businesses with innovative approaches and sustainable practices that stand out in the marketplace. As we look to a future marked by inclusivity and innovation, the role of AANHPI entrepreneurs will be more pivotal than ever. Let us acknowledge and invest in these trailblazers who not only enhance our economy but also enrich our global community.
We encourage you to dive deeper into the significance of this month by exploring the AANHPI Resource Center, curated by the Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC): https://lnkd.in/gf8TQ4d
We couldn’t resist sharing some great insights from our teammate, Hope Sudol!
When asked, “What’s the most rewarding part of working with multiple associations?” she shared some amazing takeaways.
"Collaborating with clients across various associations has provided me with a diverse range of perspectives. Each industry presents its own unique challenges and problem-solving approaches, offering valuable insights into different methodologies."
She also shared how long-term engagements have been particularly fulfilling:
"One notable reward has been the opportunity to witness and contribute to the positive outcomes generated by these unique strategies. Watching associations grow and evolve over time has been immensely gratifying."
"Engaging with a broad spectrum of associations keeps me continually engaged and learning. Each new project introduces fresh challenges and opportunities, ensuring my work remains dynamic and rewarding."
These are just a few of our favorite quotes from her response! How do you ensure that your organization benefits from diverse perspectives in your partnerships? Let us know in the comments!
To embrace the Spirit of Spring, we at DOCOMO PACIFIC are reflecting on the importance of coming together as a community and contributing to a greater cause.
As the Director of Carrier Relations and Wholesale at DOCOMO PACIFIC & Guam Young Professional’s Subcommittee Co-Chair, I’ve seen how getting involved in a greater cause can help drive meaningful change in advancing industry initiatives, driving social change, and supporting community development.
Here are a few reasons why you should join an organization with a greater cause:
🫱🏼🫲🏽 Contributing to a greater purpose not only benefits the community but also helps with personal growth and fulfillment. It’s an opportunity to connect with others who share similar values and passions, giving you a sense of belonging and purpose.
🏠 Community involvement is key to driving meaningful change. By actively participating in committees and initiatives, we can work together to address important issues and create positive outcomes for our communities.
👥 Collaborative efforts are essential in accomplishing great things. When people with a shared goal come together, there is no limit to what they can achieve.
🌎 Social responsibility is a core value that guides our actions. By contributing to something greater than ourselves, we demonstrate our commitment to making a positive impact on the world around us.
At DOCOMO PACIFIC, we believe in the power of contributing to a greater purpose. That is why we support Guam Young Professionals, a subcommittee of the Guam Chamber of Commerce that recognizes the importance of engaging young professionals in opportunities that impact our community. If you are interested in becoming a member, there is no better time than now.

I encourage you to consider how you can contribute to a greater purpose in your own life. Together, we can create positive change in the world.

Below post - in Danish, but you are probably able to translate it these days :) - shows one of the biggest issues with Denmark in a global world: The double-edged sword of 1) not "enabling" Danes abroad to remain connected to Denmark as a country, as you lose voting rights, can't get your driver's license renewed and 2) not "enabling" Danes abroad to return home with, say, a partner from abroad and any children "produced whilst away" :)
I remember being a foreign exchange student in the USA in my teens. The single most important learning I brought back was that there often are more "right ways" than one. The Danish way, I'm sure, is often "right" in our context - but if we think that it is always "best" or, indeed, the "only" way, then we fall short.
I remember my (then) Danish wife and me moving back from England decades ago, when she had almost completed her bachelor studies. She basically had to start all over again, because - well, how could a study in England possibly count as academic credit for the same course in Denmark (I hope the sarcasm comes through here...), so that lost the Danish commonwealth a few years to re-do the same courses, instead of making use of them on the job market...
I remember living abroad for a few years and about to move back to Denmark. I wanted to buy a house to live in - but hey, I couldn't get a bank loan, because I didn't live in Denmark. Well, duh, I had to move first and then (the same loan with the same house as collateral) was suddenly OK - and it meant that I could not plan it in advance but had to "hope" that things would work out after making the move. Not everyone will have the luxury of such faith...
These are just small personal examples, but it shows what others here are writing - the whole mindset around Danes being abroad (and foreigners wanted to come and contribute) is permeated by a bureaucratic and somewhat xenophobic mindset that will not help to secure Denmark a global place in the 21st Century.
I hope this can change 🙏🏻
To not just survive and see "foreigners" (whether they were born in Denmark or not) and their ways as a "threat" to our model, we need to cultivate the mindset of e.g. Canada which is much more capable when it comes to integrating newcomers to Canada, and (as far as I know) allowing Canadians to remain connected to their homeland whilst abroad.
That could be a place to start - if we can share Hans Island with Canada, then perhaps we can share some of their mindset as well :)
eProperty Innovations recognizes & celebrates Juneteenth, our nation's newest (and most overdue) national holiday. We believe all people can help mold these United States into an ever-more-perfect union, by action large and small, public or personal. What action will yours be?
