Drew Soule Calls for Accessible Travel and Inclusive Workplaces
HR leader urges practical steps leaders and travelers can take today
California, US, 25th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, People and systems grow stronger when everyone can participate. That is the message from HR leader and organizational design consultant Drew Soule, who today called for concrete action on two fronts that touch millions of lives each year: accessible air travel and inclusive workplace design.
“Accessibility is not charity. It is smart design,” Soule said. “You cannot scale a company if you cannot scale trust. That starts with building systems where everyone can contribute fully.”
Soule’s advocacy is grounded in lived experience and a 15-year career guiding organizations through IPO readiness, M&A integration, labor relations, and large-scale org design. He grew up with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and began public advocacy as a youth ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. “Resilience is not just pushing through,” he said. “It is redesigning the barriers that should not be there in the first place.”
Why this matters now
The scale of the need is large. More than 1 in 4 U.S. adults report having a disability, which is over 70 million people, according to the CDC’s latest data release based on the 2022 BRFSS.
Air travel remains a pain point. U.S. airlines mishandled 11,527 wheelchairs and scooters in 2023, an 11.5% increase from 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Proposed rules aim to strengthen training and require prompt repairs and returns, while future regulations may allow passengers to remain in their own wheelchairs during flight. The DOT has also issued and updated rules clarifying airline obligations to travelers using wheelchairs and is continuing analysis required by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
There is a strong business case too. Research from Accenture finds that companies leading in disability inclusion outperform peers on revenue and profit growth.
“Leaders ask me how to make inclusion real,” Soule said. “Start where people feel friction. Remove one barrier this quarter, then the next. Momentum builds trust.”
What leaders can do today
Soule shared a simple, do-it-yourself checklist that organizations of any size can use without waiting on new budgets or policies.
- Run a one-hour “path of travel” audit
Walk the route a wheelchair user or cane user would take from parking or transit to reception to meeting rooms and restrooms. Document doors, thresholds, signage, and furniture placement. Fix what you can this week. “Small changes compound,” Soule said. “Clear the hallway. Add lever handles. Label the quiet room.” - Make meetings accessible by default
Turn on live captions in video calls. Share agendas and materials 24 hours ahead. Record key sessions and provide notes. “Accessibility features help everyone, not just people who ask,” he said. - Publish a plain-language accommodations guide
Explain how to request assistive tech, ergonomic setups, flexible scheduling, or interpreters. Name a real contact person. “Clarity reduces fear. Fear kills performance,” Soule said. - Measure what matters
Add inclusion signals to your people dashboard: time-to-accommodate, caption usage, accessible document compliance, and promotion parity. “You manage what you measure,” he noted.
What travelers and families can do on their own
Soule emphasized steps individuals can take right now to reduce risk and increase accountability when flying.
- Document your device before you travel. Photograph your wheelchair or scooter and note model and settings.
- Use the airline’s wheelchair handling tag and attach printed handling instructions to the device.
- Request gate-check and aisle chair assistance early and confirm again at the gate.
- If damage occurs, file a report immediately with the carrier and keep copies. DOT tracking and proposed rules focus on prompt repair or replacement and better training.
- Submit complaints to DOT if issues are not resolved. Monthly reporting on mishandled wheelchairs is public, which increases transparency.
“I want people to feel prepared, not powerless,” Soule said. “Bring a checklist. Bring your voice. Your documentation creates data, and data drives change.”
A practical roadmap for inclusive growth
Soule ties accessibility to performance and culture. “Every CEO says people are their greatest asset. Act like it,” he said. He recommends three near-term actions tied to business outcomes:
- Design reviews with accessibility gates to avoid costly retrofits and reputational risk.
- Annual training for people-facing roles on respectful assistance, assistive tech, and emergency procedures.
- Public progress updates twice a year on accessibility fixes and accommodation timelines to build trust with employees and customers.
“Inclusion is not a memo. It is what people do when no one is watching,” Soule said. “When systems work for the edges, they work better for everyone.”
Soule encouraged leaders, employees, and travelers to take one step this week:
- Leaders: run the one-hour path of travel audit and publish a three-item fix list.
- Team members: add captions, share agendas early, and convert your most-viewed doc to an accessible template.
- Travelers and families: print a handling card for your wheelchair or scooter and photograph the device before your next trip.
“Do not wait for a perfect plan,” Soule said. “Change begins with one barrier removed and one person included.”

Mengruibao Builds a Full-Cycle Growth Companion System, Creating a Symbiotic Parenting Ecosystem
Why has there been a surge in root-based upbringing in China Is it due to the influence of Canghai Chuandeng, which is spearheading the contemporary revival of Eastern education
Zhengzhou, China – As family education continues to evolve in China, a new parenting philosophy rooted in cultural heritage and supported by systematic growth companionship is gaining momentum. As an innovator in the family education ecosystem, Mengruibao Family Education Platform is advancing the concept of “Root-System Parenting,” introducing a comprehensive growth companion model that supports children and families throughout every stage of development while building a collaborative and thriving “parenting ecosystem.”

From Philosophy to System: A New Paradigm of “Root-System Parenting”
In an era defined by globalization and digital transformation, families increasingly face the challenge of helping the next generation embrace the world while maintaining a strong cultural identity and inner grounding. Mengruibao’s concept of “Root-System Parenting” responds to this challenge by drawing from the values of Chinese cultural heritage and family ethics, transforming them into modern, accessible educational practices.
Rather than focusing solely on individual educational services, Mengruibao emphasizes the creation of a holistic ecosystem. By integrating cultural values with practical family education solutions, the platform converts abstract ideas about upbringing into tangible experiences that support children’s emotional, intellectual, and cultural development.

Full-Cycle Growth Companionship for Children and Families
At the core of Mengruibao’s initiative is its Full-Cycle Growth Companion Program, designed to support both children and families through every stage of development. This approach recognizes that effective education extends beyond the child to include the entire family environment.

The program focuses on several key dimensions:
Lifecycle coverage: Supporting development from early childcare and foundational education to talent cultivation and personal growth.
Family participation: Empowering parents through family education programs, workshops, and guidance systems so they become active partners in their children’s development.
Holistic development: Encouraging growth in cultural identity, character formation, and personal capabilities.
Through this model, education becomes a continuous part of everyday family life, allowing values such as responsibility, cultural awareness, and personal resilience to develop naturally over time.

Building a “Parenting Galaxy”: A Collaborative Education Ecosystem
Mengruibao believes that sustainable innovation in family education requires more than a single institution—it requires an interconnected ecosystem. The platform is therefore building what it describes as a “Parenting Galaxy,” with families at the center and educators, institutions, and industry partners forming a collaborative network around them.
Within this ecosystem, Mengruibao not only provides growth programs for families but also supports educators and organizations through training, methodology systems, and resource-sharing frameworks. This creates a continuous cycle of method validation, standards development, and ecosystem co-creation, helping advance the overall quality of family education services.
By empowering educators and institutions, Mengruibao aims to ensure that high-quality family education resources can reach more communities and support a broader transformation of the industry.

From the Heartland of China to a Global Vision for Family Education
Originating from China’s Central Plains—one of the cradles of Chinese civilization—Mengruibao draws inspiration from traditional cultural wisdom while translating it into modern educational frameworks suited to today’s families.
Looking ahead, the platform plans to further expand its educational ecosystem by welcoming partners and collaborators from across regions and sectors. Through this collaborative approach, Mengruibao seeks to nurture a new generation of young people who possess both global perspectives and deep cultural roots.
In Mengruibao’s envisioned “parenting galaxy,” every family represents a star, and every educator becomes a bearer of light. As education reconnects with the deeper roots of cultural identity and human growth, a new vision of family education—sustainable, culturally grounded, and globally relevant—is gradually taking shape.

Press Release
Paradex signals upcoming $DIME token generation event
Toronto, Canada –Paradex has announced that the Token Generation Event for its native token, $DIME, is expected to take place soon. The launch represents the next phase in the exchange’s development.

Institutional Background and Market Growth
Paradex was developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed more than $1 trillion in trading volume. That background is reflected in Paradex’s focus on execution quality, capital efficiency, and market structure.
Since launching their on-chain perpetuals exchange, Paradex has recorded:
- Over $250 billion in cumulative trading volume
- Approximately $550 million in open interest
- More than 75,000 users
- Peak daily trading volume above $3 billion
The exchange operates with an offchain central limit order book (CLOB) for matching, and settles transactions through a high-throughput Layer 2 appchain secured by zk-STARK proofs on Ethereum.
Focus on Market Structure and Privacy
A key differentiator for Paradex is its approach to information exposure. On transparent blockchains, position sizes and liquidation levels can often be observed publicly. Paradex encrypts sensitive state data prior to settlement while using zero-knowledge proofs to maintain validity. Access to detailed account information is restricted to verified users.
In addition, the exchange incorporates:
- Zero trading fees for retail participants
- Retail Price Improvement flow segmentation
- A no auto-deleveraging risk model
- Onchain vault infrastructure for yield strategies
These features are designed to reduce execution friction and mitigate structural risks that have historically limited institutional participation in decentralized derivatives markets.
$DIME and Network Alignment
According to Messari’s research coverage, $DIME will launch on Paradex’s spot market and will serve as the native gas token of Paradex Chain.
Messari notes that the token is structured to reduce the traditional conflict of interest between equity holders and tokenholders by directing economic value accrual to the $DIME token itself. Rather than implementing automatic buyback formulas, Paradex intends to conduct buybacks on a discretionary basis, with decisions guided by market conditions and ecosystem considerations.
Token Allocation Overview
Messari outlines the following allocation structure for $DIME:
- 25.1 percent Core Contributors
- 25.0 percent Community Airdrop
- 20.0 percent to Season 2 XP holders
- 5.0 percent to Pre-Season and Season 1 XP holders
- Fully unlocked at launch
- 21.6 percent Ongoing Community Rewards
- 13.4 percent Paradigm Shareholders
- 10.4 percent preferred equity investors subject to a 12-month linear unlock beginning one month after listing
- percent common equity holders
- percent reserved for Paradigm’s balance sheet
- 6.0 percent Foundation Budget
- 5.0 percent Liquidity Programs
- 3.9 percent Future Core Contributors and Advisors
80% of the tokens allocated to Core Contributors and Paradigm shareholders are subject to performance-based unlock conditions. The remaining 20 percent follows a time-based vesting schedule, with 25 percent unlocking one year after listing and the remainder vesting monthly over the following 36 months.
This structure is intended to align long-term incentives between contributors and the broader community.
Looking Ahead
Paradex has stated that it plans to expand beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products, and more. The $DIME TGE represents a shift toward a network model in which the token underpins economic coordination and value accrual across the platform.
With measurable trading activity, defined tokenomics, and a focus on privacy-preserving infrastructure, the upcoming launch of $DIME will provide a clearer view into how Paradex intends to scale its on-chain derivatives model over the long term.
Further details regarding timing and listing specifics are expected to be released in the coming days. Users can check Paradex’s socials for more information.
About Paradex
Paradex is a privacy-focused decentralized perpetual futures exchange built on its own high-performance Layer 2 appchain using the Starknet stack. The platform combines an off-chain central limit order book for execution with zk-STARK-secured on-chain settlement to deliver centralized-level efficiency within a self-custodial framework.
Developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed over $1 trillion in trading volume, Paradex emphasizes market structure, capital efficiency, and position confidentiality. The exchange currently supports more than 100 markets and integrates features such as Retail Price Improvement flow segmentation, a no auto-deleveraging risk model, and on-chain vault infrastructure.
Paradex aims to expand its ecosystem beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products, and more, positioning itself as a broader on-chain financial infrastructure platform.
