  • Former Disney Channel Star and Ex-Apple Engineer Raise $2.75M to Make Snail Mail the Next Social Network

    Former Disney Channel Star and Ex-Apple Engineer Raise $2.75M to Make Snail Mail the Next Social Network

    Escargot raises $2.75M seed round to build a platform that makes meaningful, physical gestures as easy as sending a text

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Aaron Albert spent his teens on Disney Channel. Andrew Gold spent his twenties building tech at Apple and Coinbase. They’re cousins who never thought they’d start a company together — until they both realized they were exhausted by the same thing: how hard it had become to say anything real online.

    Today, their startup Escargot announced a $2.75 million seed round co-led by Wischoff Ventures and Hannah Grey, with participation from South Park Commons, Common Magic, Next Wave and additional investors.

    Escargot is a digital-to-physical social platform for thoughtfulness and celebration. The company lets you send greeting cards — printed, stamped, and mailed from your phone in 60 seconds — but cards are just the entry point. The bigger vision is building a platform that helps people stay meaningfully close to the people who matter most, starting with the moments worth showing up for.

    The pitch sounds almost quaint: send real greeting cards from your phone. But the thesis is more pointed — the tech industry’s optimization for speed and scale has accidentally made meaningful communication harder, not easier.

    “Social media promised to keep us connected, but optimizing for engagement made these platforms more entertainment than social,” said Gold, Escargot’s CEO. “We’re building something different: infrastructure for the moments that actually matter, where a message you can hold still beats a comment you scroll past.”

    “We now have a generation raised on bits who find atoms novel,” Gold added. “A comment, a like, even a well-crafted Insta story just don’t pack the same punch as something physical. But nobody’s built the infrastructure to make physical gestures as easy as digital ones. Until now.”

    The company has built a two-sided marketplace connecting 300+ independent artists, representing a combined 18 million social media followers, with consumers who want cards that don’t feel corporate. Artists create culturally relevant content — like “Congrats on deleting your ex’s number” and “Sorry your crypto tanked” — that traditional greeting card companies would never stock.

    “Gen Z isn’t celebrating the same milestones their parents did. They’re not getting married at 23 or buying houses at 25,” said Albert, who previously founded and sold mental health startup Felt. “But they are going to therapy, deleting their exes’ numbers, surviving brutal job markets. Hallmark doesn’t make cards for the things our generation actually celebrates. We do.”

    Since launching, Escargot has acquired nearly tens of thousands of users and is sending thousands of cards each month. The company plans to expand beyond cards into gifted experiences, handwritten notes, personal stationery, and other physical touch points — all designed to make showing up for people as effortless as sending a text.

    “Escargot has the rare mix of cultural fluency, viral distribution loops, and strong unit economics we look for,” said Nichole Wischoff at Wischoff Ventures. “They’re not just modernizing greeting cards. They’re building an entirely new category around thoughtfulness, celebration, and creator-driven content.”

    “We see a clear market arbitrage between the declining value of a social media ‘like’ and the rising value of a physical gesture,” said Jessica Peltz Zatulove, Managing Partner at Hannah Grey VC. “Escargot is building the essential infrastructure that bridges digital convenience with real-world impact. Aaron and Andrew have a unique combination of cultural intuition and technical craft, giving them an edge to build for a generation that prioritizes authenticity over automation.”

    About Escargot:
    Founded by cousins, Andrew Gold (CEO, ex-Apple, Coinbase) and Aaron Albert (CMO, ex-Disney Channel, Felt), Escargot is building the digital-to-physical social network for thoughtfulness and celebration. Starting with greeting cards and expanding into a full platform for meaningful human connection, Escargot makes it effortless to show up for the people and moments that matter.

  • Ben Vereen to Receive Heart of Gold Lifetime Achievement Award Presented by Wayne Brady on March 29 in Beverly Hills

    Ben Vereen to Receive Heart of Gold Lifetime Achievement Award Presented by Wayne Brady on March 29 in Beverly Hills

    Lynn Whitfield, Garrett Morris, Judge Mablean Ephriam, and Clara Chiu-Torres honored; Gala hosted by Kym Whitley and Caroline Rhea at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel

    The Heart of Gold Awards Gala supports the Senior Support Movement, a growing initiative that combats loneliness, neglect, and isolation among elderly Americans.”
    — Julian L. Bannister, CFB Foundation Co-Founder, President and CEO

    BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Cynthia F. Blaizes Foundation, founded by the dynamic duo Julian L. Bannister and Yannick Jules-Bannister, will honor individuals who advocate for the aging. One of the highlights of the evening is the Lifetime Achievement Award bestowed on the acclaimed entertainer, Tony Award winner, and Emmy nominee Ben Vereen. His award will be presented by 5-time Emmy winner and Grammy-nominated Actor, Host, and Comedian Wayne Brady at the 2nd Annual CFB Foundation Heart of Gold Awards Gala on Sunday, March 29, 2026, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, 9500 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Green Carpet arrivals are from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

    “The gala will be hosted by award-winning actresses and comedians Kym Whitley and Caroline Rhea, bringing an evening of elegance, entertainment, and impact to one of Beverly Hills’ most anticipated philanthropic events,” said Julian L. Bannister, CFB Foundation Co-Founder and President and CEO.

    Esteemed Heart of Gold honorees include:
    • Award-winning Legendary Actress Lynn Whitfield is the recipient of the Trailblazer Award
    • Cultural Icon and Trailblazer Garrett Morris, to receive the Pioneer Award, to be presented by his Cooley High co-star and longtime friend Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs
    • Judge Mablean Ephriam, Founder of the Mablean Ephriam Foundation and star of Justice with Judge Mablean, to receive the Legacy of Distinction Award
    • Clara Chiu-Torres, Vice President of Development at Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California (AJSOCAL), is the recipient of the Aging Ally Award

    Live performances will be provided by entertainers Freda Payne, Elaine Gibbs & NuSoul Band, Major, CeCe Peniston, Former Ladies of the Supremes, Thea Austin, and Diana Tash. Winner of Alpha TV’s The Bachelor (Greek season 2) Athena Vas, a Greek American author, educator, TV personality, bodybuilding champion, and motivational powerhouse, shares her story of becoming a caregiver to her mom at 22. Vas helped her mom relearn how to walk, talk, and live again.

    “The Heart of Gold Awards Gala supports the Senior Support Movement, a growing initiative that combats loneliness, neglect, and isolation among elderly Americans,” said Julian L. Bannister. According to the foundation, 11,000 Americans turn 65 every day. By 2054, nearly 23 percent of Americans will be 65 years or older. Yet less than 2 percent of philanthropic funding goes to senior causes.

    Founded nearly two years ago, the Cynthia F. Blaizes Foundation was established following a deeply personal family experience.

    “When my grandmother told us she felt like she did not belong anymore, that changed everything,” said Bannister. “Yannick and I made a promise that no senior would feel lonely, neglected, or undervalued again. What you are witnessing through our programs is the very thing we implemented to lift her spirits. Sometimes it is a 30-second phone call. Sometimes it is 15 minutes of conversation. That small act can change an entire day.”

    CFB Foundation Co-Founder, Vice President and CFO Yannick Jules-Bannister added, “Everyone says they support children because they are our future. But what happens when those children become seniors? Do we forget them? Aging is a universal journey. If we do not advocate for dignity now, we will one day face the same gaps ourselves. This movement is about honoring those who built the foundations we stand on.”

    Managing Director of the CFB Foundation, Trinh Clark, said the mission reflects a shared human experience. “Belonging does not expire with age. Our seniors deserve connection, voice, and community. Through sponsorships, volunteer engagement, and advocacy, we are building a space where every generation knows they matter.”

    Kabara Vereen, daughter of honoree Ben Vereen, shared a heartfelt reflection during the Heart of Gold Gala launch reception hosted by founders Julian L. Bannister and Yannick Jules Bannister, emphasizing the importance of honoring aging with dignity and ensuring the senior community remains visible, valued, and celebrated. “Precious people, I met both of them [Julian and Yannick] a couple of weeks ago, and we started talking about the foundation. My dad is being honored by the CFB Foundation, and I was heartened by the mission. My father has been in the entertainment business since he was six years old. He has known fame and recognition his entire life. About a year ago, he was playing the Hollywood Bowl, and I was checking him into a hotel. He is very mild-mannered and easy with people, but he became upset when the attendant spoke only to me and did not acknowledge him. Here is my father, who has been famous all my life, and he felt invisible.”

    “We have also navigated health journeys with him, and there are moments within the medical system where he has felt unseen. That is something we battle every day as a family. Aging is not something to hide. It is something to honor.”

    “The CFB Foundation understands something this country sometimes forgets. Our elders are not burdens. They are libraries. They are bridges. They are living testimonies of survival, sacrifice, and wisdom. This work is about access to care, protection of dignity, combating isolation, supporting caregivers, and advocating for policies that defend the vulnerable.”

    “In a time when too many elders feel invisible, you are saying, ‘We see you. We value you. We will protect you.’ As someone who has walked many stages in life and now walks in the season of elderhood myself, I know how powerful it is to be treated not as someone fading, but as someone still becoming. May we continue to build a country that does not discard its elders but honors them as the foundation upon which everything else stands.”

  • Madhya Pradesh Tourism Strengthens Global Partnerships at ITB Berlin 2026

    Madhya Pradesh Tourism Strengthens Global Partnerships at ITB Berlin 2026

    High-level inauguration, strong European trade engagement, and Pachmarhi’s Green Destinations award highlight the state’s growing global tourism profile

    BHOPAL, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board (MPTB) successfully showcased the state’s diverse tourism offerings at ITB Berlin 2026, the world’s leading travel trade show, held from 3–5 March 2026 at Messe Berlin. The event, which brings together global tourism boards, tour operators, airlines, and travel professionals, serves as a premier platform for international tourism networking and business development.

    Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board’s pavilion was formally inaugurated by Mr. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Honorable Union Minister for Culture and Tourism, Government of India, and H.E. Mr. Ajit Gupte, Ambassador of India to Germany, in the presence of Mr. Asheesh Singh, IAS, Commissioner of Ujjain Division, Madhya Pradesh, along with key tourism stakeholders from the state.

    The Madhya Pradesh delegation represented a broad spectrum of the state’s tourism ecosystem, including stakeholders from wildlife tourism, heritage hospitality, destination management companies, experiential travel providers, and tourism services. Their presence highlighted the collaborative approach adopted by Madhya Pradesh to promote the state as a multifaceted destination for international travelers.

    During the three-day B2B event, the Madhya Pradesh pavilion hosted extensive business-to-business (B2B) meetings and professional interactions with German and European tour operators, travel designers, wholesalers, and media representatives. These engagements focused on expanding tourism partnerships, developing specialized travel itineraries, and increasing inbound tourism to the state from key European markets.

    Trade partners showed strong interest in Madhya Pradesh’s unique combination of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, wildlife tourism experiences, spiritual destinations, and heritage towns. Destinations such as Khajuraho, Sanchi, Bhimbetka, Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Orchha, Mandu, and Maheshwar were highlighted as key attractions offering authentic cultural and nature-based experiences aligned with European travel trends.

    A key highlight during the event was the global recognition of Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh’s only hill station, which received the “Green Destinations Bronze Certification” at ITB Berlin 2026. The award, presented during the Green Destinations ceremony at the event, recognizes Pachmarhi’s efforts in sustainable destination management and responsible tourism development. The honor was received by Mr. Asheesh Singh, IAS, on behalf of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board.

    The certification positions Pachmarhi among destinations worldwide that are actively adopting sustainability frameworks aligned with internationally recognized standards for environmental protection, community participation, and responsible tourism practices.

    Madhya Pradesh’s participation at ITB Berlin also reinforced the state’s broader tourism vision centered on heritage conservation, wildlife protection, responsible tourism initiatives, and community-led tourism development. The tourism board continues to position the state as a destination that offers immersive travel experiences rooted in nature, history, spirituality, and living culture.

    Through its engagement at ITB Berlin 2026, the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board strengthened its presence in the European market while building valuable partnerships with the international travel trade.

  • Master Of Starlight Marks A Darkly Comic Debut Of Cosmic Mystery And Desert Reckoning

    Master Of Starlight Marks A Darkly Comic Debut Of Cosmic Mystery And Desert Reckoning

    DW Arden’s first novella journeys deep into the Sahara, where jealousy, romance, and starlit destiny collide beneath an infinite night sky.

    NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Author DW Arden makes a striking literary debut with Master of Starlight, a darkly comic novella set against the vast and haunting beauty of the Moroccan Sahara. Blending cosmic intrigue with human frailty, Arden crafts a story that explores ambition, rivalry, love, and the quiet reckoning that unfolds beneath the cool proximity of the night sky.

    At the center of the narrative is Olivier, an astronomer and adventurer who once believed his destiny was written in the stars. After decades spent working on telescopes around the world, Olivier retreats into self-imposed exile among the dunes of Morocco. There, accompanied only by the brilliant canopy of starlight and his loyal tabby cat, Tiku, he attempts to escape the disappointments of his past.

    Olivier’s solitude is disrupted when his long-standing academic rival, Fritz, reenters his life. Their history is layered with professional competition and personal betrayal. When Fritz invites him to join an ambitious caravan of renowned astronomers traveling deep into the Sahara, Olivier reluctantly agrees. What begins as a scientific excursion quickly becomes a charged journey of unresolved tension and buried resentment.

    Among the caravan is Vera, a brilliant astrophysicist whose presence rekindles Olivier’s long-dormant sense of possibility. As the expedition ventures further into the desert, the emotional stakes rise. Olivier must confront whether this journey offers redemption and renewal or an opportunity for calculated revenge.

    Arden’s novella balances wry humor with introspective depth. The remote Saharan landscape becomes more than a backdrop. It mirrors the isolation, vastness, and mystery within Olivier himself. Through sharp dialogue and richly atmospheric prose, Master of Starlight examines the fragile line between genius and ego, destiny and self-deception.

    The novella invites readers to consider whether fate is truly written in the stars or forged through choice and courage.

    DW Arden’s debut signals the arrival of a distinctive new voice in literary fiction. With its blend of dark comedy, romance, and philosophical reflection, Master of Starlight offers a contemplative yet entertaining exploration of ambition, jealousy, and second chances beneath the infinite sky.

  • Grundfos Reintroduces Modernized Yeomans Chicago Corporation Portfolio to Address Modern Global Wastewater Challenges

    Grundfos Reintroduces Modernized Yeomans Chicago Corporation Portfolio to Address Modern Global Wastewater Challenges

    • YCC product portfolio now updated to meet demands of a challenging sector

    • Portfolio is BABA compliant with production at the Aurora facility in Illinois

    BROOKSHIRE, TX, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Grundfos, a global leader in advanced water solutions, has today announced the reintroduction of the
    Yeomans Chicago Corporation product portfolio to the US wastewater markets. Since acquiring the YCC business
    in 2008, Grundfos has invested in significant upgrades, operational improvements and service upgrades to ensure the
    portfolio is best placed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing industry.

    As urbanization accelerates and climate change intensifies, the combination of aging infrastructure and increased
    wastewater volumes means many existing systems are ill-equipped to handle modern challenges. The reintroduction
    of the Yeomans Chicago Corporation portfolio is designed to tackle this and provide resilient solutions that address
    system failures, reduce energy consumption, and minimize downtime.

    Bringing together over 150 years of engineering heritage, the brands under the Yeomans Chicago Corporation
    umbrella (Morris, Yeomans and Chicago Pumps) have defined the standards for wastewater transport since
    inception. Under Grundfos’ stewardship, these brands now benefit from global R&D resources and a modernized
    supply chain, giving customers confidence in their continued reliability.

    The YCC portfolio is aimed particularly at municipal wastewater treatment plants across North America, and includes
    a range of pumps engineered for high performance solids handling, including:

    • Dry-Pit and Wet-Pit Solids Handling Pumps: Known for durability in
    sewage and sludge applications.

    • Radial and Mixed Flow Pumps: Industry standards for large volume
    applications and abrasive slurries.

    Jonathan Hamps-Adams, Executive Vice President at Grundfos Water Utility, said:

    “In an era where infrastructure is being pushed to its limits, the industry needs proven technology and engineering to
    rise to these challenges.

    “By reintroducing the Yeomans Chicago Morris brands to the US market, we are giving our customers access to just
    that: proven, reliable pumps designed for the most intensive of applications. Backed by Grundfos’ commitment to
    sustainability and innovation, we’re confident these products will be part of the broader portfolio of solutions we can
    offer our customers to achieve a water-resilient future.”

    Yeomans Chicago Corporation operations are based at the Grundfos Water Utility headquarters in Brookshire,
    Texas, but continue to be supported and produced by the Aurora, Illinois center. All products within the portfolio are
    manufactured in the US, and are Build America Buy America (BABA) Act compliant.

  • Breathing Room: One Man’s Path From Performance To Presence Offers A Candid Memoir Of Identity And Renewal

    Breathing Room: One Man’s Path From Performance To Presence Offers A Candid Memoir Of Identity And Renewal

    After a life defined by achievement, Tedd C. Simmons, Ph.D., shares the reckoning that led him back to truth, breath, and presence.

    NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — With recent surveys showing that more than 40% of American workers report chronic burnout and an increasing number of professionals voluntarily stepping back from high status careers, Tedd C. Simmons, Ph.D., delivers a deeply reflective and timely memoir with Breathing Room: One Man’s Path from Performance to Presence, published by selfpublishing.com on February 3, 2026. The 153 page memoir (ISBN 979 8896949916; ASIN B0GCSDVJY8) is available on Amazon as a Kindle eBook with Screen Reader support and Word Wise enabled, as well as in paperback and hardcover editions, and is categorized under Memoir, Personal Growth, and Spirituality. Readers can secure their copy on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/0hN88Qcp.

    Through vulnerability, spiritual insight, and hard earned wisdom, Simmons chronicles a life shaped by expectation and achievement, and the personal reckoning that ultimately led him toward authenticity and renewal.

    For decades, Simmons excelled in roles that carried visibility and responsibility. As both a minister and corporate executive, he lived a life defined by leadership, structure, and service. From the outside, his world appeared steady and successful. Yet beneath the surface, questions about identity and alignment persisted. When a near fatal health crisis abruptly disrupted his carefully maintained life, the illusion of control dissolved, forcing him to confront truths he could no longer ignore.

    In Breathing Room, Simmons recounts this turning point with candor and clarity. The medical emergency became more than a physical battle. It marked the beginning of a profound internal shift. Stripped of titles and expectations, he began examining the difference between living from performance and living from presence. Through luminous prose and piercing self awareness, he explores how achievement can become a mask, how faith can evolve through doubt, and how breath itself can become a practice of returning to one’s truest self.

    “For most of my life, I measured my worth by what I produced and how well I performed,” says Simmons. “It took nearly losing everything my health, my sense of self to realize that the life I’d built was running on a script someone else had written. Breathing Room is my attempt to be honest about that reckoning, and to offer companionship to anyone walking a similar path.”

    Comparable in emotional depth to works such as Untamed, Falling Upward, and The Velvet Rage, Breathing Room speaks to anyone who has questioned who they are supposed to be, and who they truly are. Simmons’ story affirms that collapse can become clarity, and that stepping away from constant striving can open the door to a more grounded, present life.

    Early Reader Praise

    “This book is brilliantly written. Be prepared for the emotions it will invoke in you as you read through the pages. This book will change you; it will encourage that soul to release itself. I could not put this book down and immediately ordered more copies for my family and friends.”

    — Maureen Viano, Five Star Amazon Review

    “Tedd does such a beautiful job of weaving his story that while the details of my story differ, his story nevertheless becomes my story. This is a book for all who long to live a life of authenticity and freedom.”

    — John Perella, Five Star Amazon Review

    “Simmons’ writing is gentle yet powerful, offering a soothing escape from the chaos of modern life. Breathing Room does not just teach you how to breathe deeply; it encourages you to breathe freely, with a renewed sense of peace and understanding.”

    — L. Bell, Five Star Amazon Review

    At its heart, the book asks a universal question: What happens when the life you have built becomes too small to contain who you really are? Simmons answers with honesty and hope, showing that making space to breathe can be the first step toward living fully, loving more freely, and inhabiting the truth beneath the performance.

    About The Author

    Tedd C. Simmons, Ph.D., has spent more than two decades at the intersection of faith, leadership, and personal development. An ordained minister and former senior executive, he has led congregations, managed teams, and navigated the pressures of institutional life at the highest levels. His doctoral research focused on the relationship between spiritual identity and professional performance.

    Following a life altering health crisis, Simmons stepped away from the trajectory he had long maintained to explore the deeper questions of identity, presence, and authenticity that now define his work. He speaks and writes on topics including burnout and recovery, faith after deconstruction, and the courage to live beyond performance. Breathing Room is his first book.
