Rumit Mehta: Transformative Local Experiences for Global Guests

Rumit: Happy to be with you, Spiffy! At Immersion Journeys, we provide travel experiences to Africa and South Asia, address wildlife conservation, and emphasize how wildlife and humans can live side by side in a sustainable manner. We are addressing several important issues  through travel. With shrinking land for wildlife to roam freely as we make space for humans, there are a lot of unprecedented pressures on global ecosystems. We are also facing climate threats that affect humans and wildlife alike. By wielding tourism as a tool, we are creating experiences and awareness of the work being done to conserve endangered species, working to protect pristine wilderness areas, and helping support local communities through steady employment in the hospitality sector.

DuMarkus Davis: Making Quality Music Education, Sustainable Incomes Accessible

DuMarkus Davis: Making Quality Music Education, Sustainable Incomes Accessible
DuMarkus: I’m very glad to be here, Spiffy! Presently, if you’re a musician and attend a music school, you get one-on-one lessons with a top instructor, varying performance opportunities, and you get teaching opportunities. Despite that, 99% of music school graduates will graduate with no job prospects and will teach and/or take a part-time job to make ends meet. At Musicbuk, we are building an ecosystem of the world's greatest musicians that empowers these musicians to monetize their craft online through a teaching marketplace, streaming interface, and membership platform.

Hannah: Congrats on your 400th interview, Spiffy! I’m honored to be here today. To answer your question - disclosing your disability or health condition to your employer can be scary, confusing, and, often, risky. Yet, over 60% of Americans need accommodations to complete their job tasks. Disclo is the first platform helping employees to safely ask for, verify, and act on accommodation requests at work. Our vision is to make disclosing your disability accessible, safe, and hopefully even fun.
