Nicole Wadsworth: Building Alabama, One Community at a Time

Published

2 hours ago

on

Alabama, US, 27th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Dr Nicole Wadsworth, a site selector, economic development consultant, and one of Alabama’s most committed community-builders, is using her latest feature interview to issue a clear call to action: “If you want your town to grow, you have to show up.”

Wadsworth, who has visited all 67 counties in Alabama more than 25 times, shares insights from her hands-on work in rural development, job creation, and infrastructure planning in a new Q&A titled “Nicole Wadsworth: Building Alabama, One Community at a Time.”

The piece spotlights her career helping cities attract investment, restoring historic buildings, and supporting local businesses—not from behind a desk, but by listening directly to residents.

“Every good idea I’ve pursued started with a conversation,” says Wadsworth. “Usually with someone in the community who saw a need or had a story to tell.”

Her work includes leading the I Shop Local campaign with the Small Business Administration, revitalising job sites in once-abandoned factories, and helping secure grants for food banks and civic infrastructure.

Reclaiming Rural Strength Through Practical Involvement

According to the Economic Innovation Group, 52% of rural counties nationwide have lost population since 2010. In Alabama, 44 counties are economically distressed, and 1 in 6 residents faces food insecurity (Feeding America, 2024).

Wadsworth believes reversing these trends begins with consistent, on-the-ground action—something any citizen can take part in.

“The best economic insights don’t always come from experts,” she explains. “I’ve learned more from farmers, barbers, and retired teachers than consultants with perfect pitch decks.”

Her experience backs this up. A failed early-career project taught her that top-down planning doesn’t work unless people feel included.

“That failure changed how I lead,” she says. “Now, every major initiative starts with local voices.”

What You Can Do in Your Community

Dr Wadsworth encourages people across Alabama—and beyond—to take small, consistent steps that lead to large-scale transformation:

  1. Visit Places in Person:
     Walk the high street. Talk to small business owners. Sit in on town meetings.

  2. Prioritise Local Spending:
     Support businesses in your county. It builds tax revenue and strengthens job security.

  3. Volunteer Time or Skills:
     Help a local nonprofit write a grant, clean up a town park, or assist with digital tools.

  4. Support Food Banks:
     Donate or connect them to funding opportunities. Rural areas often lack adequate support.

  5. Advocate for Digital Visibility:
     Encourage local shops and services to create a basic online presence. It makes a measurable difference.

“I believe in showing up,” Wadsworth says. “That’s how trust is built, and that’s how change begins.”

About Dr Nicole Wadsworth

Dr Nicole Wadsworth is an Alabama-based economic development consultant, certified site selector, and commercial real estate strategist. With four advanced degrees and more than two decades of experience, she works with municipalities, industries, and residents to build resilient, community-focused development strategies. She is a Certified Alabama Planning and Zoning Official, holds an EDAA Leadership Certification, and serves on several civic and historical boards. Her work spans food access, workforce development, rural revitalisation, and infrastructure growth. Above all, she believes in leading with faith, family, and service.

My Friend PATCHES Lost and Found Explores Sacrifice Faith and Growing Responsibility

Published

3 minutes ago

on

September 27, 2025

By

Children’s picture book about Gracie, her lost horse Patches, and a compassionate choice that reveals faith, responsibility, and community.

Author David G. Toussaint announces the release of “My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found,” a children’s picture book illustrated by Livya Howe and Leanna Weihold. The story follows Gracie, a young girl who shares a deep bond with her horse Patches. After a stormy night leads to Patches’s disappearance, Gracie and her family search for months without success. When a later visit to friends reveals a horse resembling Patches in the care of a local farmer, the family learns that the animal, renamed Isabella, has become integral to the farmer’s household.

Rather than presenting a simple reunion, the book frames a series of moral decisions. Gracie is initially relieved to find Patches, yet recognizes that the farmer’s family benefits from the horse’s presence. A personal prayer and a period of reflection lead Gracie to place others’ needs above her own desires. The narrative traces how her choices affect her relationships, responsibilities, and spiritual understanding.

Illustrations by Livya Howe and Leanna Weihold stresses the emotional arc of the story, giving visual cues that support discussions about empathy, stewardship, and growing up. The artwork complements the text to create teachable moments suitable for family reading and classroom discussion without advocating a single doctrinal perspective.

“My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found” is positioned as a resource for parents, educators, and community leaders seeking literature that opens conversations about kindness, accountability, and faith-informed decision-making. The book explores how small acts of compassion can produce meaningful outcomes for both individuals and communities, and how personal growth often involves difficult choices.

David G. Toussaint draws on background in children’s storytelling and faith-informed themes to write stories that encourage moral reflection. Illustrators Livya Howe and Leanna Weihold collaborate to produce accessible visuals that resonate with young readers.

The book is available via major booksellers including Amazon.

By

When it comes to long-distance moves, California New York Express Moving Company stands out as a highly specialized and reputable name. With headquarters in Los Angeles and dedicated branches in San Francisco and New York, the company has built its reputation around offering reliable, efficient, and stress-free moves between the East and West Coasts.

From its New York hub in Secaucus, New Jersey, California New York Express provides direct routes to major California cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. Unlike many national chains, they never outsource to third-party subcontractors. This makes the experience more personal, more reliable, and more efficient—particularly for those searching for trusted cross country moving company New York services.

Precision-Focused Moving for Northeast Clients

Unlike typical van lines juggling dozens of routes, California New York Express focuses solely on moves between California and the Northeast. This narrow operational scope means their clients enjoy better delivery times, clearer pricing, and higher accountability.

Serving all five boroughs of New York City, Northern New Jersey, and parts of Connecticut, their New York-based team has deep experience managing complex moves. From historic walk-ups in Manhattan to high-rise buildings in Hoboken, their movers are trained to handle the logistics of East Coast relocations—from navigating strict building guidelines to securing parking permits and insurance certificates.

West Coast Moves Made Easy

California-bound clients from New York benefit from a start-to-finish system that includes:

  1. A free virtual or in-home quote
  2. Flat-rate pricing—no hidden costs
  3. A dedicated team managing your move from start to finish
  4. Delivery in as little as 5–10 days
  5. Direct routes with no handoffs to subcontractors

Whether you’re headed to Southern California, the Bay Area, or beyond, CNYX handles everything in-house to ensure your move is smooth and on time. Their personalized services are especially valuable for those moving to Los Angeles from New York, with guaranteed delivery windows and real-time updates.

This focused model provides greater peace of mind, particularly for busy families, professionals, and corporate clients who can’t afford delays or disruptions.

“We were dreading another cross-country move until a friend recommended California New York Express. They were incredibly professional, and we knew exactly where our stuff was at all times. Everything arrived on schedule. No surprises.”

Another noted:

“I’ve used major moving brands before and felt like just a number. With California New York Express, it was the opposite. I got personalized service and a real timeline. Everything went smoothly.”

Full-Service Offerings

CNYX offers a wide array of services tailored for different move sizes and complexities:

  • Studio apartments to multi-family homes
  • Packing services and supplies
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly
  • Short-term storage options
  • Online tracking and 24/7 support

For individuals, families, and businesses relocating from the New York area to California, California New York Express Moving Company offers a streamlined experience with no guesswork.

Designed for the Modern Mover

Most movers operate through a complex chain of subcontractors, resulting in delayed shipments, lost items, or hidden fees. California New York Express reengineers this model by controlling the entire process—from initial consultation to final delivery. That means:

  • Predictable scheduling
  • Fewer delays or damages
  • Direct communication with your movers
  • Better accountability throughout

First-Time Gen Z Hoteliers: A Roadmap to Business Success

Published

48 minutes ago

on

September 27, 2025

By

By Hamlet Roy, Founder & Global CEO, MyTravaly

In a world where experiences matter more than possessions, Gen Z is redefining how we travel — and how we host. If you’re a young, first-time hotelier — maybe you’ve just taken over a family property, converted a homestay, invested your savings into a boutique stay, or leased a homestay in Himachal Pradesh or Goa — here’s your practical blueprint to thrive in the hotel business.

1. Think Digital First

Your guests live online — your hotel must too.
Build a user-friendly booking website.
List your property on trusted OTAs and travel marketplaces.
Stay active on social media — TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts showcase your vibe better than any brochure.

💡 Pro Tip: Use tech tools like a Property Management System (PMS) to automate bookings, manage check-ins, and handle payments smoothly.

2.Curate Authentic Experiences

Today’s travelers want stories and local connections — not just a bed for the night.
Highlight local art, culture, and food.
Partner with nearby businesses — a café, trek guide, or craft store.
Host community events — open mics, wellness retreats, or pop-up kitchens.

3.Prioritize Sustainability

Gen Z travelers value eco-friendly stays — reflect that in your operations.
Offer sustainable amenities.
Minimise plastic use.
Support local suppliers and organic produce.
Involve guests in green practices during their stay.

4.Deliver Personalised Service

Fast Wi-Fi and clean rooms are standard. Your edge is making guests feel seen.
Remember returning guests’ preferences.
Give customised local recommendations.
Keep communication quick and warm — WhatsApp and Insta DMs work well.

5. Be Financially Smart

Revenue management isn’t just for large hotels.
Track bookings, expenses, and profits carefully.
Set dynamic pricing — adjust rates for peak and off-peak seasons.
Offer add-ons like guided tours or airport pickups to boost income.

💡 Pro Tip: MyTravaly’s direct booking engine helps you promote your brand independently. It’s easy to set up — integrate the QR code or URL into your social media profiles and website. Plus, your daily booking collections settle automatically by the next day in your bank account, keeping your cash flow healthy and predictable.

6. Collect Reviews — and Respond!

A single positive review can bring you dozens of new bookings.
Always request feedback from satisfied guests.
Respond promptly to all reviews — both good and bad.
Use honest feedback to upgrade your service.

The Founding Story of MyTravaly

My journey as an entrepreneur began in the hotel business itself. I started out running a simple accommodation in Bengaluru, India. While managing day-to-day operations, I experienced firsthand the challenges hoteliers face — from attracting customers and managing bookings to handling payments and marketing on a tight budget.

From this experience, the idea of MyTravaly was born — an innovative marketplace designed to connect travelers and hoteliers worldwide. My vision was never to build just another booking platform but to create a complete ecosystem for hoteliers: a one-stop solution with all the premium tools they need — Property Management System (PMS), self-service portals, multi-currency payments, marketing support — at an affordable cost.

Founded in 2019, what started as one hotelier’s solution to his own struggles is today a global travel tech company empowering 10,000+ hotel partners and more than 1 million travelers with seamless, transparent, and community-driven travel experiences.

The Final Word

Running a hotel today is about blending tech, community, and genuine care. As a Gen Z hotelier, you’re perfectly placed to refresh traditional hospitality with fresh ideas and authentic connections.

Start small, stay curious — and let every guest become your brand ambassador.

Ready to grow?

At MyTravaly, we help first-time hoteliers list properties, manage bookings, and reach guests worldwide — all while staying fully in control of their business.

✅ Connect. Host. Grow. The future of hospitality is young — and it starts with you.
