If you’re on a mission to make a name for yourself, to better your own business or workplace, or to contribute to a more responsible and equitable society— you’re a Supermaker. And you’re in the right place. That first year was rough,” Kate recalls. “I made very little money and I cried a lot. I didn’t have any of these resources and I was brand new to the idea that this is how people work. The utter aloneness of it was really hard.” There are other business credit cards aimed at startups, and Silicon Valley Bank has offered cards to startups since 2008 (they offer both charge cards and regular corporate cards with revolving credit). Those options may be better for some startups, but Brex doubles down on being the safest choice for entrepreneurs, since they don’t have to worry about their assets being used as collateral if their business were to fail. How else is Brex adapting in the COVID-19 landscape?

Yes, I know Anti came out in 2016 and maybe that’s a dated reference. But I don’t care, it’s a bop. And Rihanna is always relevant.) But why has inactivity become our enemy? Maybe it’s because when we do things that are deemed productive it gives us less time to think about the reality of the moment and all of the big unknowns. “If you stuff your plate with work, there’s no space for those feelings to surface,” says Duffy. If we fill our time with at-home activities like puzzles, stress-baking, and Marie Kondo-ing our apartments, maybe we’ll forget, even if just for a few moments, the weight of our global circumstance. On doing nothing As far as shadowbanning, every week in influencer groups, someone will talk about how their post is doing badly and how they can’t reach their usual amount of likes, but I don’t think it’s always the algorithm,” Molu says, adding that she doesn’t think it’s out to get anyone. Terentieva agrees that the concept of shadowbanning is not as simple as the platform shoving certain posts aside. “I [personally] don’t believe in shadowbanning,” Terentieva explains, adding that those doing things on the platform that they shouldn’t, such as copying and pasting comments, will get in trouble eventually. “I don’t know if there’s some sort of secret, hidden thing behind any [single] action, but the things people talk about that you’ll get shadowbanned for are things that are shortcuts to begin with, like engagement pods.”

What is a Brex Credit Card?

Still, I’ve got bills. And a family. And responsibilities. And no survival skills or knowledge about subsistence farming. So I can’t just tap out. What I can do, though, is try to recharge. Try adding veg high in vitamin B and C at the end These vitamins are heat-sensitive, so can be lost if you cook vegetables that contain these (such as peppers, broccoli, spinach or peas) for too long. Some soup makers have a pause button that can help with this, but these are more common on soup-making blenders. One part fashion, one part positivity Madhappy Is Spreading Mental Health Awareness Through Fashion Then a miracle happened: the database we use for my full-time job needed to be updated, so the entire editorial staff had to log out early. I hadn’t noticed how anxious I was until I felt the relief of logging out. And I wanted to chase that feeling. Themes will focus on 1) channeling your center—your core, intuitive energy as an entrepreneur and creative—and 2) learning to rise above adversity so you can achieve success on your own terms and build impactful brands.

During a recent group video chat, where my friends and I gathered to virtually celebrate my birthday since we couldn’t be together in person, we discussed the sudden normalization of remote work. The majority of my friends who don’t work in essential fields, like medicine or food retail, now work from home. Though I felt grateful that some employers are taking this pandemic seriously, I also felt frustrated that, in the past, when asking employers to work remotely as an accommodation for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and autism, I have been refused. Hosted in the lovely new Remote.ly building with views of the Willamette River and downtown Portland, programming will be followed by a community networking reception, with complimentary low-proof drinks and a surprise creative experience for all attendees. With our real lives at a standstill (for good reason: we need to flatten the curve), our digital lives are on fire. Internet usage is up, as the pandemic gives a whole new meaning to aimless scrolling. Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly being fed messages that tell us inactivity is unacceptable. Because the worst someone could do is spend all this time at home doing nothing, right?Currently, about 25 percent of people work from home at least sometimes but 56 percent of workers have jobs where they could work from home if their employers allowed it. And yet, I have previously worked in jobs in advertising, publishing, and communications where I requested to work remotely at least one or two days a week as a disability accommodation and was denied—even though all of my work was done on a laptop and my employers were already using tools like Asana, Trello, and Zoom to manage projects and host meetings. I've seen posts such as ‘tips for how to be productive at home during COVID-19’ and influencers almost preaching at people to use this time to be productive,” Beecroft offers. This message is something Chandra Johnson, a digital producer, and many others grapple with daily. “There’s a lot of pressure right now to make the most of this time. It’s exhausting trying to keep up.” The best soup makers blend and cook tasty soup at the perfect temperature (around 75°C), without keeping you waiting too long. Whether you're keen to try out new recipes or to whizz up old favourites, we've tested popular soup makers from Morphy Richards, Ninja, Tefal, Tower and more. The inaugural seminar will feature an afternoon of panel discussions including founders and CEOs of brands from NYC to PDX, and experiential creative activities led by local artists.

The Ninja Foodi Blender and Soup Maker is one of the few soup makers that allow you to add raw meat safely. We believe in the power of Supermaker to contribute towards an ambitious entrepreneurial future for the business leaders of tomorrow. Let’s get to work(out) Quarantine Diaries: Wow, Exercise Really Can Boost Productivity And Reduce Stress Ultimately, corporate cards may not be top-of-mind for everyone in this current climate, but there are options out there that can potentially alleviate stress and help startups better manage their finances. In good times and uncertain ones, Brex certainly seems to be in the business of making access to capital easy, smooth, and clear-cut. An important note: Brex does a great job of offering a wide range of rewards that would be enticing and applicable to most startups, but beyond the hype, a company should consider whether they currently spend in Brex’s reward categories to truly reap the benefits. What are some differences between Brex and other cards?Brex offers several corporate cards, with different rewards tailored to startups, life sciences companies, and ecommerce firms. Only US companies (such as C-corps, S-corps, or LLCs) may apply for a Brex account. The company underwrites with Employer Identification Numbers (EINS) and looks at a company’s credit history rather than an entrepreneur’s personal credit score. Sole proprietors and freelancers aren’t eligible. As hirers start to wise up to the fact that freelancers are enthusiastically discussing how organizations treat them, freelancers can hopefully spend less time fretting over unpaid bills and fighting to prove their worth. In turn, this should make for a happier workforce—an important shift, given that one study reports that 80% of workers who think they are not appreciated find their job has a negative impact on their private life.

Being home all the time can make it hard to set boundaries around work and can lead to hyper-focusing on productivity. “It’s common to feel that since we are home we should be using this time wisely and to be productive,” says Elizabeth Beecroft, LMSW. “With less of an agenda, it becomes easier for pressure to arise as we think we should constantly be doing something like we might be used to.” And, with people also spending more time online, it’s easy for social media culture to amplify feelings of guilt around productivity. As a leader of a company so deeply intertwined with the finances of so many businesses across the country, and as the husband of a small business owner, I am personally focused on solutions,” Ferrand wrote. “We are hearing the challenges you’re all facing firsthand, and taking action to help.”Emily Ladau, the editor-in-chief of the Rooted in Rights blog and a communications consultant, says that working remotely allows her to customize her work environment and offers more flexibility than an office. “The reality is that my home is the place that’s most accessible to me,” Ladau tells Supermaker. “It’s the place where I have access to comfortable seating [and] a wheelchair accessible bathroom.” Working remotely also means she is able to have physical therapy three times a week in her own home— something that would be difficult to fit into a rigid 9-to-5 office schedule.
