Query:
Looking 1-2 sources to speak to the following topic: The secrets
of succession For working in an industry that's so concerned
about the financial health of others, advisors often do
themselves a disservice by not looking ahead to their own
futures. In fact, nearly three-quarters of advisors don't have a
formal succession plan laid out. And while firm leaders may not
want to consider a time when they are no longer in charge, it's
an inevitability. This checklist or flowchart-style piece will
guide readers through scenarios and questions that should come
up when deciding what should be the next step.
Requirements:
-Must have track record of educating/mentoring investment
advisors -Must be available to speak this week or next

Query:
Greetings,
We're trying to help people with late credit card payments still
get approved for a credit card. We know it can be difficult, but
it's doable, too.
We'd appreciate responses to these queries:
1. How do late payments impact credit scores and credit card
applications? Are some late payments worse than others (i.e.,
credit card bill over utility bill?)
2. How do late payments impact a credit score?
3. How do you avoid credit card late fees?
4. How do you improve my credit score?
5. How long should I wait to apply for new credit? 6. When
shopping for a new credit card, what consumers consider when
selecting a new card?
7. What's the impact of applying for a credit card too often -
especially on a credit card?
8. Is taking out a personal loan to pay down credit card debt a
good idea?
You can answer one, some or all questions - all responses
appreciated.
Requirements:
Credit card experts, credit experts, money management experts,
consumer advocates, people who have been approved for credit
cards after late payments.

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 August
Query:
CMS started giving out accelerated and advance payments in April
and distributed over $40 billion to providers who needed help
during the pandemic.
Now CMS says it's recouping that money -- by not paying current
claims.
Some practices may find themselves suddenly providing Medicare
and Medicaid service without payment -- and, thanks to the slow
recovery, they may not be ready for it.
What would you advise medical practices that are in the
predicament and *still* need help getting through?
Thanks, Roy Edroso Part B News https://pbn.decisionhealth.com/

I'm finalizing a feature for The Hollywood Reporter on
Netflix's Strong Black Lead brand and their impact on
establishing brand resonance in the market, similar to Buzzfeed
with Cocoa Butter, and similarly in some respects, Twitter with
Blackbirds.
It would be great to flesh out the story with a quote from a
marketing analyst about why creating sub-brands like this - and
similarly, Netflix is a Joke, Con Todo, and their other
verticals - is (or isn't) a savvy strategy and whether more
companies will follow in Netflix's footsteps on this front. I'm
open to email or talking on the phone, whichever is best.
Requirements:
Someone with a background in digital marketing and social
media - diversity and inclusion outreach would be a big plus.

The Likert scale is a popular model for measuring sentiment on

Media Outlet: Real Estate Weekly/syndicated to newspapers
Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 4 August
Query:
The past decade's steady flow of news reports of flooded homes
and desperate owners who don't have insurance is validated by
researchers. For instance, a recent report by non-profit First
Street Foundation finds 14.6 million properties qualify to be
designated by FEMA as in "flood hazard zones", defined as having
a one percent chance annually of flooding. The National Flood
Insurance Program, though only identifies 8.7 million properties
as in a hazard zone, but it doesn't dispute First Street's
findings, since government mapping can be outdated or not as
comprehensive. Given that flood risk is high-- not just in
coastal regions but in cities like Chicago where storm water
overflow and rivers widening causes flooding in non-hazard
zone-- are buyers doing more due diligence in researching flood
risk? Or, when buyers find a home they love, that they can
afford, does that largely over-ride flood risk?
Requirements:
I'm looking for comments from real estate agents, homeowner
insurance agents, representatives from homeowner advocacy
groups, and especially from home buyers themselves.
