1, The Brexit deal did not prioritize London's core financial
services industry. How do you think this has impacted the
overall industry, now that the divorce is sealed?
2, UK-remained the hub for many brokers, both big and small, and
they were passporting their licenses to Europe. Now, many
brokers shuttered their European services while some gained
licenses from the European countries. How do you think this
brokerage industry was impacted overall?
3, Which European venues are likely to see an influx of brokers?
CySEC is obviously one of the top contenders, but many other
European regulators flagged Cypriot companies for
non-compliance. Do you think this will give birth to another
European FX hub, equivalent to London?
4, How do you think trading activities across Europe and the UK
will be hampered this month?

Query:
When it comes to energy management in REITS, buildings, or any
situation where there are building owners and tenants, energy
management is highly dependent on tenants. Be it, commercial
tenants or residential tenants, how do you encourage
participation in energy programs or encourage energy-efficient
behaviors?
We are looking for comments from REITS, Energy Managers, or
Energy companies about supporting and encouraging tenant
engagement to support energy savings. For example, if your
building enrolls in Demand Response or actively avoid Capacity
charges associated with Peaks, how have you encouraged tenants
to support such initiatives? Do you pass along savings to
tenants, or bill through to them, etc?
Outside of encouraging participation, do you have any examples
of situations that have arisen out of poor tenant behavior? Such
as driving up energy expenses by actively avoiding notifications
or calls for efficiency measures. How have you dealt with those
situations?
To summarize: Do you actively encourage tenant engagement for
energy efficiencies? If yes, how so? If no, why not? What have
been some of your most successful strategies to date? What are
the biggest challenges in promoting tenant engagement? If your
tenants do you participate, how do you control or manage energy
usage to lower the expense?

a real estate agent that can help with their specific needs?
(what questions should they be asking? can suggest resources,

2) Insufficient credit history can be a barrier to foreign
nationals/immigrants/refugees seeking to buy their first home in
the U.S.; what steps can be taken to improve credit-worthiness?

Query:
Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.
Requirements:
When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

For GOBankingRates, syndicated with Yahoo Finance, I am writing
an article about fun games you can play and strategies you can
implement when you're trying to save money -- but struggling. I
am NOT covering apps or any other products -- sorry! These are
all games you can do yourself, without technology, like say,
create a savings competition with a friend, or the 52-Card
Pickup Weekly Savings Challenge. I'm looking to hear financial
experts and budgeting experts ideas for fun and light ways to
make savings less depressing. Here's what you need to submit:
1. Your name, title and pronouns with a link to your site. 2.
The game you suggest and why, etc. 3. Why saving can be tricky
and why making it fun is helpful
Thanks so much for your insights!

Query:
It's 2021 and many of us are trying to make sense of our
financial lives -- as well as to prosper -- in the new year.
But it can be hard when you're in a money rut. I am looking to
highlight 8 specific steps you can implement to rebound after a
hard financial stretch. This is different from resolutions, in
that I'm looking for ways to dig yourself up out of a bad place.
So, step 1 might be: Improve Your Credit Score. Each step I'm
asking for financial experts to illuminate. So, your quotes
should look like this:
1. Your name, title, pronouns and a hyperlink to your site (in
your company name) 2. Your suggested step or steps (can submit
up to 8) 3. How to execute this step and why it will help you
get out of your rut.
Thanks! Please note that I can only feature financial experts --
meaning your job ties to finance in some way. I realize that
might be obvious, but I get so many responses from people who
don't have any financial license. I totally get that you might
still have good advice -- but I can't quote you if you're not a
pro officially. Thanks so much.
