It’s a new year with a new team. On-Demand Paul continues to focus the lens on strengthening a community, starting with the addition of local talent. The use of on-demand talent continues to grow, but the application is an unsettled sea. Platforms such as Upwork, Freelancer, or the like, have exploited on-demand talent for their profits and have rapidly strayed away from serving their communities. Now, reemerging from the 2020 pandemic climate and local businesses withering away, the need for on-demand talent is reaching new heights. On-Demand Paul shares his recent additions to the team from Xavier University. How can you use local talent without signing away on 40 hours per week employees?brocsways.comondemandpaul.com

Aaron Rudolph lost his father to cancer. Before Aaron’s son was old enough to speak, Aaron was diagnosed with testicular cancer himself. After an unsuccessful orchiectomy, Aaron was pushed into chemotherapy. This all came after he and his wife had struggled with a miscarriage and then finally having success with IVF. His focus and endurance were thanks to his wife and son and staying positive with the support surrounding him. While 2020 added some extra challenges with health care processes, Aaron “señor bada*s” pushed through the most challenging time of his life. 

It is Mo-time for the Mo Bros and Mo Sisters. On Demand Paul chats with Rich Loesing, Corporate Development Manager, from movember.com. Loesing stresses the importance of Movember beyond cancer but also for men’s mental health. Postler, “The Fixer,” proposes a new ‘C’ to ALEC, the acronym reminding men to Ask, Listen, Encourage Action, and Check-In. The new ‘C’ is for care. And maybe an additional ‘C’ for courage, and another for confidence. The point Postler and Paul prove is that being a man is more than just having a strong, war-face.
