Best beach reads right now

  By Nadja Atwal The beach is calling us all year around and for many this is the place to find the time for a good read, especially since we know how reading books is what successful people do, supposedly. Granted not all readers are leaders but: all leaders are readers.  So we asked Kyle Wallgren, award winning serial entrepreneur and CEO of the innovative reading app EDSOMA, what books will make your day at the beach sweeter and smarter.   Start-up reality: Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton  This is about twitter and focuses on  the people who started it, including their backgrounds, personalities and infighting of the  the four co-founders (Noah Glass, Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, Evan Williams) . Current CEO Jack Dorsey in particular gets a very sinister review, as he is being characterized as incompetent guy with tunnel vision and a horrible moral compass. Celebrity biography : Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey a story about Matthew’s  life growing up and always taking the positive out of everything. A mix of biography and guide, the Hollywood star tells his story including a rough childhood that included corporal punishment and his parents divorcing and remarrying each other twice! Highly recommended is the audio version read by the author himself. For self-development:  Can’t Hurt Me (Master Your Mind And Defy The Odds)  by David Goggins David tells about his setback in life how he rose up from an abusive home to breaking records. He shows how you can rewire your brain to become and do better. The author’s bio is worth noting : David Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL and the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces ever to complete SEAL training, U.S. Army Ranger School, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. Goggins has competed in more than sixty ultra-marathons, triathlons, and ultra-triathlons, setting new course records and regularly placing in the top five. A former Guinness World Record holder for completing 4,030 pull-ups in seventeen hours, he’s a much-sought-after public speaker who’s shared his story with the staffs of Fortune 500 companies, professional sports teams, and hundreds of thousands of students across the country. It is also worth checking out David’s Instagram that also shows his mind-blowing physical transformation. @DavidGoggins A business must read:  Start With Why by Simon Sinek A book about finding the meaning behind what makes a good company great.  For your little ones to keep them busy in between building sand castles :  I’ll Follow The Moon by Stephanie Lisa Tara A  fabulous, adventurous story with a gentle, soothing vibe about new born sea turtles and how they find their way home. Fantastic illustration!

Jason of Beverly Hills Opens in the Miami Design District

By Katie Jackson Photography by World Red Eye Since 2002, Jason of Beverly Hills has become the go-to luxury jeweler among Hollywood’s elite. In providing diamond pieces that push limits while also maintaining opulent glamour, the brand has attracted high-profile clients including Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey and MSM’s July/August cover model Joanna Krupa. Owner Jason Arasheben has expanded his popular brand from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, to upscale locations in major cities including the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the Ritz-Carlton in Charlotte, North Carolina, and now in the heart of the Miami Design District. What began as an appointment-only diamond jeweler quickly grew into a multi-billion dollar operation. “We would design something specific to somebody’s personal style and image, so the DNA of the brand is custom pieces,” said Arasheben. “Then we kind of transcended into building collections.” Drawing inspiration from nature, architecture, fashion, and even cars, the brand’s collections are anything but ordinary. “We like to think out of the box and we like to be eccentric,” said Arasheben. “I always say that this is not your grandmother’s jewelry. If I make a piece and my mother hates it, I say okay, this is perfect.” The brand recently drew attention with their ADDICTED collection, featuring pieces like diamond encrusted pill pendants and syringe rings. “Everyone has an addiction to something,” said Arasheben. “This is an addiction to diamonds.” Though controversial, the collection has become a favorite among notable celebrities. “Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Lindsay Lohan have all purchased pieces from the ADDICTED collection,” said Arasheben. As for the fourth flagship location, Arasheben is thrilled to bring Jason of Beverly Hills to Miami. “The great thing about Miami is that the culture and vibe of the city is very much in line with the identity of our brand,” said Arasheben. “There’s a strong nightlife, people like to have fun, and there are a lot of South Americans who are big fans of our brand, so it was really the perfect alignment.” Jason of Beverly Hills is located at 140 NE 39th St, Miami, FL 33137 For more information on Jason of Beverly Hills, please visit www.jasonofbh.com Click here to view this post in our September/October 2015 digital issue Click here to view the online issue
