Query:
For an investment bank's website, I am seeking compelling
stories from individuals who have postponed their retirement due
to COVID. This can include someone who changed their timeline
and retirement-prep initiatives; it does not necessarily need to
be someone who literally cancelled their retirement date.
How did you arrive at this decision? How do you feel about your
situation? The goal is to share personal stories of this "new
normal."
Should your story be considered for inclusion, first names can
be used to protect privacy, if preferred.

Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new interview
series called
The Future Of Retail In The Post Pandemic World. Full
description here https://bit.ly/3iF9Xju
The Pandemic has changed many aspects of all of our lives. One
of them is the fact that so many us us have gotten used to
shopping almost exclusively online. With services like Amazon
Prime, Instacart, Grubhub, Uber Eats, what will the future of
retail look like? How will retail outlets create a fate
different than Toys R Us, Sears, Kmart, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus,
J. Crew, Payless Shoes, and Forever21.
We would like to explore the different ideas that large retail
outlets are implementing to adapt to the new realities created
by the Pandemic as well as the "Retail Apocalypse". How will
retail adapt to the enormous pressure created by Amazon Prime?
Will malls continue to exist? What is the role of retail stores?
We would like to speak to executives, C-suites and business
leaders of medium and large retail companies who can share their
vision for retail over the next five years.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 24 September
Query:
For Multifamily Executive, BUILDER and Affordable Housing
Finance magazines, three national residential trade journals
published by Hanley Wood, this article looks at residential
mixed-use development and the impacts of the pandemic.
Mixed-use development has become increasingly popular, giving
multifamily and single-family residents the convenience to live,
work, and play in one area. But some of the hardest hit sectors
from COVID-19 have been retail, restaurants, and offices.
What challenges are mixed use owners, developers, and builders
facing in the current environment? With commercial tenants being
shut down for much of this year, what has been the impact on
mixed-use developments? Have some of your commercial tenants
closed for good, and what are you expectations for leasing
available spaces this year? How have residents and homeowners
reacting to many of the amenities that attracted them to a
community now being closed? How are you adapting your mixed-use
properties amid the pandemic? What opportunities have emerged?
How are developers, owners and builders rethinking mixed-use in
the future? Are there any other aspects of this topic I should
cover?
I'd like to hear from multifamily, single family and affordable
housing developers, owners and builders who are active in the
mixed-use residential space today. Please contact Joe Bousquin
at joe@ameredit.com.

In light of schools thinking about staying closed versus
reopening this fall, I'm looking for online tutors--who are
already making 6 figures through tutoring--to share their story
on how they built their business to this level, and offer
advice, tips, and strategies to others who would like to do this
as well. In particular, I'd like comments that reflect how
online tutoring is being affected by what's
happening/potentially not happening with schools, and how an
increasing move to distance learning in many school districts
may open the door for more people to take on online tutoring and
be able to make 6 figures themselves.
Requirements:
If you are already a successful online tutor who makes 6
figures, please send your story about the steps that you took to
achieve this, and also your top 3-5 tips and strategies for how
others can do the same. Please base your comments around how
online tutoring is being affected by what's
happening/potentially not happening with schools, and how an
increasing move to distance learning in many school districts
may open the door for more people to take on online tutoring and
be able to make 6 figures themselves.
