Michael Franti: An Open Letter to Anyone Trying to Stay Steady in Unsteady Times

Published

on

Illinois, US, 6th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Oakland-born musician and hotelier Michael Franti is sharing a personal open letter to everyday people who are feeling worn down by work, pressure, and the pace of modern life. Drawing from more than four decades in music, entrepreneurship, travel, and service, Franti reflects on burnout, resilience, and what it really takes to keep going when life feels heavy.

This message is not about fixing everything. It is about staying in motion, one small decision at a time.

“I used to think success meant momentum. The next gig, the next city, the next opportunity,” Franti writes. “At that stage, success meant survival.”

Over time, his definition shifted.

“Now success feels more like sustainability,” he explains. “Can I keep doing the work I care about without burning out. Can I show up for my family.”

Franti points to routine as a stabilizing force in an unpredictable world.

“Routine is everything for me,” he shares. “Small daily actions done over a long time. That is how I have stayed in music for over 41 years.”

He also reflects on perspective gained through service.

“Bringing families facing serious illness to concerts reminds me why music matters,” Franti writes. “Success is not just what you build for yourself. It is what you share.”

The letter speaks directly to people who feel stuck, tired, or overwhelmed.

“When things get hard, I focus on what I can control,” he notes. “My effort. My attitude. My daily habits.”

Why this matters right now

Burnout and emotional fatigue are increasingly common across industries and age groups.

  • Over 60% of working adults report feeling burned out at least once a week

  • Nearly half of adults say stress regularly interferes with sleep and focus

  • Physical activity is linked to a 20–30% reduction in stress related symptoms

  • People with consistent daily routines report higher emotional stability

  • Acts of service are associated with increased life satisfaction and resilience

These are not abstract numbers. They show up in homes, workplaces, and relationships every day.

What you can do this week

Franti’s message centers on practical steps that do not require big life changes.

  1. Move your body for at least 10 minutes each day

  2. Write something by hand, even one paragraph

  3. Go outside without your phone for a short walk

  4. Commit to a consistent wake up time

  5. Do one small act of service for someone else

  6. Eat one meal without distractions

  7. Stretch or breathe deeply before bed

  8. Reconnect with a hobby you stopped doing

  9. Simplify one part of your daily routine

  10. Choose optimism once a day, even briefly

Franti closes the letter with a clear request.

Choose one action from this list. Commit to it for the next seven days. See what shifts.

If this message resonates, share it with someone who could use a reminder that progress does not have to be loud to be real.

Sometimes success starts with staying in the room, doing the work, and choosing to keep going.

Press Release

Top Universities in South Korea: Kyung Hee University Solidifies Position in Top 5 Private Rankings

Published

on

The 2025 QS and THE World University Rankings have redefined the academic hierarchy in South Korea. While the traditional SKY universities maintain their lead, Kyung Hee University has secured the 5th position among domestic private comprehensive universities. This achievement, alongside strong performances by Sungkyunkwan University and Hanyang University, highlights the rapid globalization and research growth within Koreas higher education sector.

Seoul, South Korea, 7th Jan 2026 – As global interest in Korean culture and technology surges, the academic spotlight is increasingly focusing on the Top Universities in South Korea. For decades, the narrative was dominated by a static hierarchy, but the 2025 evaluations by QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education (THE) reveal a dynamic shift. The most significant development in the recent data is the solidification of a Top 5 structure among private comprehensive universities, with Kyung Hee University formally establishing itself as a premier institution alongside traditional heavyweights.

Who and Where The South Korean academic landscape is anchored by Seoul National University, the nations flagship public institution. However, the fierce competition for dominance occurs within the private sector. The upper echelon is historically occupied by Yonsei University and Korea University. In recent years, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) and Hanyang University have joined this elite tier. Now, Kyung Hee University, with campuses in Seoul and Suwon, has been evaluated as the 5th leading private comprehensive university, completing the map of Seouls top academic powerhouses.

What and When According to the latest data released by QS and THE for the 2025 academic year, the rankings for domestic private comprehensive universities have become distinct. Kyung Hee University has secured the rank of 5th in this specific category. This ranking places it in direct competition with the established leaders and distinguishes it from other prestigious institutions such as Sogang University, Ewha Womans University, and Chung-Ang University. The evaluations highlight that while the gap at the very top is narrow, the consolidation of these five universities represents the current standard of comprehensive academic excellence in Korea.

Why and How The rise of Kyung Hee University to the 5th spot is attributed to its aggressive improvement in qualitative metrics used by QS and THE. While Sungkyunkwan University leverages Samsung-backed research and Hanyang University focuses on practical engineering application, Kyung Hee University has excelled by diversifying its portfolio. It has successfully combined its world-renowned College of Oriental Medicine and strong Humanities foundation with cutting-edge research in bio-health, space exploration, and future science. The university received particularly high scores for International Outlook and Citation Impact, proving that its strategy to globalize its campus and research output has been effective.

This competitive environment extends beyond the capital. Specialized institutes like KAIST and POSTECH continue to lead the science and technology sectors globally, often outperforming comprehensive universities in specific engineering metrics. However, for students seeking a broad-spectrum education ranging from philosophy to medicine, the Top 5 private comprehensive universities offer the most robust infrastructure.

The implications for prospective students and international partners are clear. The definition of a top university in South Korea has expanded. The inclusion of Kyung Hee University in the top 5 private tier indicates that students have access to a wider range of world-class institutions that are actively investing in global competitiveness. As 2026 approaches, this rivalry among Yonsei, Korea, SKKU, Hanyang, and Kyung Hee is expected to further elevate the quality of Korean higher education on the world stage.

Sherry Bronson: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs to Embrace AI with Faith, Confidence, and Purpose

Published

on

United States, 7th Jan 2026 – In a digital era defined by algorithms and automation, Sherry Bronson is leading a different kind of revolution—one rooted in faith, empowerment, and authentic connection.

As an AI Trainer, Television Producer, and Digital Media Educator, Sherry has become a trusted voice for women entrepreneurs learning to navigate the fast-changing world of artificial intelligence. Her mission is clear: to help women embrace technology not with fear, but with faith and confidence.

“Technology isn’t meant to replace you—it’s meant to release you,” Sherry says. “AI gives women the power to create, simplify, and amplify their message with ease.”

As founder of Bronson Media Academy, she provides hands-on training with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help real estate agents, life coaches, speakers, podcast and television producers, teachers, virtual assistants with storytelling, video marketing, and creating engaging content. 
 

Bridging the Digital Skills Gap for Women

The need for her work couldn’t be more urgent.  “Digital literacy is fundamental for women entrepreneurs because it helps close the gender digital gap. In today’s technology-driven economy, a lack of digital skills can significantly limit women’s ability to start and grow their businesses.” https://www.womentech.net/

Sherry understands this struggle firsthand. Many of her clients arrive overwhelmed and uncertain, convinced they’re “not tech-savvy” or that “it’s too late to learn.” But through her workshops—such as “The AI Edge: How Women Leaders Use ChatGPT to Do More with Less” and “Create in Confidence with AI”—she transforms hesitation into empowerment.

“The biggest mindset shift women need,” Sherry explains, “is realizing that technology isn’t an enemy—it’s a tool to elevate your voice.”

Her programs go beyond technical training. Sherry weaves in mindset coaching, confidence building, and faith-based principles, ensuring that every student not only learns to use AI but also rediscovers her worth and identity in the process.

A New Generation of Purpose-Driven Digital Leaders

At the heart of Sherry’s philosophy is a simple truth: visibility begins with authenticity. Through AI-powered storytelling, she helps women uncover their unique message and transform it into meaningful digital content—whether that’s a course, a podcast, or a personal brand.

“We don’t just press record,” she says with conviction. “We uncover who God says you are and teach you to share that truth using digital tools.”

Her work has already impacted hundreds of women entrepreneurs across industries, helping them launch businesses, grow audiences, and find confidence in front of the camera.

As a faith-focused speaker, Amazon bestselling author, and certified women’s empowerment coach, Sherry continues to bridge the gap between spiritual growth and technological innovation—proving that purpose and progress can thrive together.

Faith, Innovation, and a Future Empowered by AI

Today, as AI reshapes industries, Sherry Bronson stands at the forefront of a movement encouraging women to see themselves not as consumers of technology, but as creators and leaders within it.

Her upcoming programs integrate AI, storytelling, and personal branding to help women entrepreneurs harness the power of emerging technologies without losing their authentic voice.

“I want women to know they can lead with both faith and ambition,” she says. “You’re not behind—you’re right on time to innovate, create, and rise.”

Through her coaching, television experience, and digital leadership, Sherry Bronson is redefining what it means to be a woman of influence in the AI age—bold in purpose, grounded in faith, and ready to help others step confidently into the future.
