Sonia Hodgin, Founder of Formulaic Inc., Transforms 27 Years of Investing, Business Ownership, Philanthropy, and Financial Adversity Into Global Award-Winning Innovation
From newly widowed mother to founder of Formulaic Inc., Hodgin’s path through real estate, business ownership, community leadership, rental losses, technology vision, and alternative asset strategy shaped the creation of Formulaic300.
United States, 6th Jul 2026 — Sonia Hodgin, Founder, President, and Executive Chair of Formulaic Inc., announced the continued expansion of Formulaic300, a private technology and membership platform shaped by more than 27 years of investing experience, business ownership, real estate strategy, philanthropic leadership, software-driven opportunity discovery, and firsthand exposure to the challenges faced by private investors.
Hodgin’s path into investing did not begin from comfort. At age 26, she became a newly widowed mother with a five-year-old child and was forced to confront financial uncertainty at a young age. In 2000, after facing significant financial loss and the responsibility of rebuilding stability for her family, Hodgin refinanced her home and took a calculated risk by purchasing her first rental property. She turned that property into a cash-flowing vacation rental, beginning a long investment journey that would later shape her understanding of assets, timing, opportunity, loss, leverage, risk, and resilience.
“I did not start as someone who had the luxury of waiting for opportunity,” said Hodgin. “I had to create it. I was a young widow, a mother, and I had to learn how to survive financially, rebuild, and recognize value where others may not have seen it.”
Long before launching Formulaic Inc., Hodgin’s life was also shaped by service. Since her teenage years, she has been involved in philanthropic, faith-based, educational, and community leadership efforts. Her background includes Catholic education teaching, program development, directing community and faith-based initiatives, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts leadership, and participation in leadership-focused nonprofit organizations supporting entrepreneurial women and men.
That service background became part of the foundation behind Formulaic Inc.’s broader mission. For Hodgin, opportunity discovery is not only about transactions. It is also about stewardship, education, leadership, legacy, and helping people access better pathways when traditional systems do not fully serve them.
Over the following decades, Hodgin expanded her experience across real estate, business ownership, acquisitions, private investing, and strategic asset development. Her background includes 27 years in investing, ownership in 17 companies, three acquired businesses, and management of a real estate portfolio that included 38 residential rental properties, commercial buildings nationwide, and land ownership nationwide.
Her journey included both major wins and significant setbacks. Hodgin credits those experiences — the difficult turns, the financial strain, the hard lessons, and the few powerful wins in between — with shaping the strategic thinking that eventually became the foundation of Formulaic Inc.
“So many bad turns, and then a few great wins, shaped the way I think,” Hodgin said. “The losses taught me what traditional systems miss. The wins taught me that opportunity is often hidden in alignment, timing, structure, and relationships.”
Hodgin was also deeply impacted by the struggles faced by rental property owners during periods of government-imposed restrictions and pandemic-era rental disruption. She describes those periods as a turning point in her thinking, particularly as many private rental owners faced income interruption, regulatory uncertainty, permanent lost payments, and financial losses while still carrying mortgages, taxes, insurance, maintenance, legal and other property obligations.
For Hodgin, the experience reinforced a larger issue: private investors, property owners, founders, and asset holders often operate without the same structured intelligence, exchange environments, and alignment tools available in more established financial markets.
“That period exposed how vulnerable private investors can be when systems shift around them,” Hodgin said. “I understood the need for a platform that could help people see opportunity, protect strategy, align assets, and think beyond one-dimensional transactions.”
Formulaic Inc. was created from that need.
Drawing from her investment background, software and technology vision, business ownership experience, philanthropic service, and years of developing proprietary strategic formulas, Hodgin built Formulaic300 as a private opportunity discovery platform focused on alternative assets, business interests, capital objectives, legacy initiatives, and multi-party transaction alignment.
Formulaic300 combines NFC member access, AI deal matchmaking, asset forums, legacy infrastructure, proprietary formulas, and multi-exchange transaction logic within a selective private network. The platform is designed for qualified members seeking smarter ways to explore assets, business opportunities, capital objectives, strategic transactions, and relationship-driven value creation.
While Bloomberg changed how financial information moves, and exchanges changed how market participants connect, Formulaic300 addresses a different and often underserved category: how private alternative opportunities are discovered, aligned, and structured among the right members.
At the center of Formulaic300 is Hodgin’s proprietary formula methodology, developed over more than sixteen years. The methodology is designed to identify patterns, relationships, transaction possibilities, and strategic alignments that may be overlooked in traditional deal models. Through AI deal matchmaking, proprietary formulas, and multi-exchange logic, Formulaic300 supports private opportunity alignment across multiple parties, assets, objectives, and transaction structures.
Formulaic Inc. has since received global recognition for innovation, marking a significant milestone for Hodgin’s long-term vision.
“This is not just software to me,” Hodgin said. “It is the result of lived experience, hard lessons, financial survival, business ownership, investing, loss, rebuilding, service, and the understanding that private opportunity needs better infrastructure.”
Hodgin’s story reflects the evolution of an entrepreneur who turned personal adversity into strategic vision. From a young widow forced to rebuild financially, to a business owner, investor, community leader, and technology founder with decades of experience, to the founder of a global award-winning innovation, her work through Formulaic Inc. is rooted in the belief that opportunity discovery can be more intelligent, more aligned, and more intentional.
“Formulaic Inc. was built because I lived the gaps,” Hodgin added. “I understood the need because I experienced the consequences of not having it. Formulaic300 is my answer to that need.”
Formulaic300 will remain limited to 100 approved members worldwide, reflecting the company’s focus on privacy, trust, quality participation, and long-term relationship-based value creation.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Open First Sarajevo Exhibition with Sevdalinka Songs and Free Seminars
Scientology Volunteer Ministers brought their yellow tent of help to Sarajevo for the first time, opening a three-day public exhibition in the city center with traditional sevdalinka songs, a ribbon cutting and free seminars in practical techniques for everyday problems.
SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 8 October 2026 – The Scientology Volunteer Ministers opened their first public exhibition in Sarajevo, bringing the program’s yellow tent of help to a central square of the Bosnian capital for three days of free seminars and demonstrations of practical techniques for dealing with the difficulties of everyday life.
Caption: The ribbon is cut to open the Scientology Volunteer Ministers exhibition in central Sarajevo. The banner reads “Nesto se ipak moze uciniti” – “Something can be done about it,” the motto of the Volunteer Ministers.
The grand opening was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on the square. When rain and a sudden drop in temperature arrived, the Volunteer Ministers moved the ceremony inside the tent, where guests gathered among the exhibition’s panels for an evening of sevdalinka, the traditional urban folk song of Bosnia known for its emotional melodies and poetic lyrics of love, longing, and life. A local ensemble of singers in traditional Bosnian costume, accompanied on accordion, performed two sets of eight songs and an encore, closing with songs dedicated to Sarajevo and to Bosnia itself.
Caption: Guests at the grand opening listen to a short address inside the Volunteer Ministers tent after rain moved the ceremony indoors. The exhibition panels behind the speakers present practical tools on subjects such as stress, conditions in life and problems at work.

Between the two sets, Juraj Duna, the Volunteer Minister in charge of the European Goodwill Tour, told guests how the Volunteer Ministers program began, how its volunteers assisted in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the floods of 2014 and what the yellow tent offers today. A Volunteer Minister who has supported the tour on previous visits to the region then cut the red ribbon together with two guests from the local community, and visitors were invited to tour the exhibition and take part in the hands-on demonstrations that followed.
“Sarajevo is a city with a long tradition of different communities living side by side, and the people here have shown us a warmth and openness that made this visit memorable,” Duna said. “The Volunteer Ministers came because the tour had never been to Sarajevo before, and because the tools in this tent are for anyone who wants to improve conditions in his own life and help the people around him. Something can be done about it, and that is the message we came to share.”
The exhibition presents 19 subjects drawn from the Scientology Handbook, each offering practical know-how for a common difficulty in life, from stress and conditions at work to study problems, communication, marriage, raising children and the causes of suppression. Visitors are introduced to simple tools intended to help them understand the roots of a difficulty and take a concrete step to improve it.
The most requested seminars in Sarajevo were those on assists, a set of simple techniques intended to help a person relax and ease discomfort by addressing the spiritual component of stress and tension. Attendees watched a short film, saw the technique demonstrated, received an assist themselves and then practiced delivering one to another person. By the close of the exhibition, 13 participants had reported that they were applying what they learned to help family members at home, and several asked for further training.
“What stood out in Sarajevo was how quickly people moved from watching to doing,” Duna said. “By the second day, visitors who had come in for a seminar were delivering assists to each other. That is exactly what the Volunteer Ministers program is for: putting workable tools in the hands of people who will use them.”
Following the exhibition, the tour delivered a lecture and workshop on “The Cause of Suppression,” one of the 19 subjects presented in the tent, for members of a local cultural association, and has been asked to repeat the lecture for a larger audience in the city.
The Volunteer Ministers European Goodwill Tour arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 6 June 2026, spending five weeks in Mostar before moving to Sarajevo. The tour concludes its work in the country on 8 October 2026 and continues to other cities in the region.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program was created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote that “a Volunteer Minister is a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.” Volunteer Ministers have responded to major disasters around the world for nearly five decades and, through traveling yellow-tent exhibitions and free online courses, bring the same tools to communities in times of peace. Their motto is “Something can be done about it.”

Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus – among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.
Canada, 8th Oct 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Oceanic Iron Ore. On October 7, 2026, Oceanic Iron Ore (TSXV: FEO) issued a message to shareholders entitled “The Demand for Green Steel”.
Oceanic is focused on the development of its 100% owned Hopes Advance, Morgan Lake and Roberts Lake iron ore projects located on the coast, in the Labrador Trough in Québec, Canada.
The flagship Hopes Advance Project has a NI 43-101 Measured & Indicated resource of about 1.36 billion tonnes at a head grade of 32.1% Fe. The project is located at tidewater. The PEA highlights that Oceanic will not require a railroad to get its iron ore to market, significantly reducing capital expenses and operating costs.
The Demand for Green Steel
Chris Batalha
CEO of Oceanic Iron Ore
The planet is heating up. The ten warmest years in recorded history have all occurred in the last decade. The International Science Council (ISC) warns that higher temperatures are causing an increase in hurricanes, droughts and tropical cyclones.
The production of steel is a major contributor to global warming. An astonishing one billion metric tonnes of metallurgical coal is consumed globally every year to manufacture steel. This accounts for 15% of coal burned globally across all industries. Steel and iron ore are responsible for 7-9% of the world’s CO2 emissions.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has recommended that emissions from the iron and steel sector fall by more than 90% by 2050. To achieve this reduction target, global metallurgical infrastructure is currently being reimagined and rebuilt.
For decades, iron ore has been processed in traditional blast furnaces. These enormous chemical reactor towers transform iron ore into liquid metal (pig iron). The process requires extreme heat generated from burning metallurgical coke with hot air.
Blast furnaces are designed to run continuously 24/7 for 10 to 20 years. Shutting them down creates three major problems: the molten iron and slag inside the furnace can turn solid after time; cooling refractory linings can cause structural damage; reheating the blast furnace requires large amounts of energy, taking weeks – sometimes months – to achieve operational readiness.
Currently, about 70% of global steel is manufactured using these coal-fired blast furnaces. Gradually, production is being shifted to Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants that use Green Hydrogen to strip oxygen from the iron ore, releasing water vapour instead of CO2.
The benchmark grade of iron ore required for blast furnace product is 62% Fe. Impurities like phosphorus make the steel brittle. Removing other impurities such as silica, alumina and sulphur forces the steel mill to use more energy, pure oxygen and fluxing agents like limestone.
The greener DRI plants require high-grade iron ore with low impurities due to the electricity requirements to produce a molten slag during steel making. Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus – among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.
New environmental regulations are actively pushing Chinese steel mills toward higher-grade ores. The Chinese want processing facilities that will maximize output while minimizing the additional pollution created from removing impurities.
High-grade, low-impurity iron ore has been added to Canada’s and Québec’s Critical Minerals List. This premium product is in high demand from global steelmakers transitioning to green, hydrogen-based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) processing.
Because the Hopes Advance iron ore is high-grade and has negligible alumina and phosphorus content, we have an opportunity to play an important role in servicing the green steel markets. It is a significant business advantage. Not all iron mines can contribute to the green steel input market.
There are still about 1,000 blast furnaces in operation. Many of these operations need high-grade material to blend with their lower-grade feed. Oceanic downstream iron ore buyers could be steel companies, iron ore producers, or trading houses.
In the next message, I will explain what we learned from the Hopes Advance Re-Scoped PEA.
