Lifestyle Q&A: Our Fund, Part 1
Given its backstory as an overdue concept in South Florida, it’s no surprise that a community foundation created to unite donors with nonprofit organizations that support LGBTQ initiatives has wasted no time making an impact. A little more than a decade after five founding members launched it in 2011, Our Fund Foundation already is the
Pick-Up Styx, Part 2
When you joined Styx in 1999, you had a significant following in Canada as a solo artist. Was it a difficult decision to give that up for a globally renowned band that had a complicated recent history? On the one hand, you’re knocked out and flattered by the honor of joining a band with a
Heart of the Matter, Part 2
Can you imagine trying to start a rock career today in the current entertainment climate? That would be really hard. Today, there’s so little importance placed on originality. Everything is so image-oriented. It seems like there are 95,000 different genres that are all separate from each other, and you have to fit yourself into one.
Editor’s Letter
It took me the better part of 40 years to come to terms with a golf swing that, despite its many flaws, allowed me to enjoy the sport without taking the ups and downs too seriously. It took JR, a teaching professional at Baha Mar’s Royal Blue Golf Club in Nassau, 60 seconds of deconstructing
The Devil You Know, Part 2
Looking back, do you have any sense of why Rothstein turned himself in, instead of disappearing to a country, like Morocco, with no extradition to the U.S.? In God’s Ponzi, Gregory Portent speculates for about a half page as to why Rothstein did what he did—including this idea that, if you leave the U.S., you
Free At Last, Part 2
Back in the Game Lauren’s father had bought her brother tickets to a New York Rangers hockey game for his birthday. And she was not happy about the male-bonding thing. “I must have been 6, and I said to my dad, ‘Excuse me, do you think because I’m a girl that I don’t want to
Free At Last, Part 1
The irony, Lauren Brill will tell you, is that English never revealed itself in school as an entrepreneurial path, let alone the life-altering off-ramp in her healing journey. As a youngster growing up in Rockland County, New York, math was her academic jam, a subject easily digested by her logical, incisive mind—although, given Lauren’s opinionated,
Lifestyle Q&A: Bill McKibben, Part 2
It’s been more than 30 years since The End of Nature was published. Can you contrast the interest, awareness and pushback you encountered then compared to now? This is a crazy story. In 1989, when I published that book, people were like, “Yes, let’s get on this.” And I don’t just mean environmentalists. The Republican
Lifestyle Q&A: Bill McKibben, Part 1
The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference didn’t exactly have Bill McKibben doing a happy dance. The man who literally wrote the book on climate change—The End of Nature, published in 1989, introduced people around the globe (it’s appeared in 24 languages) to the subject 17 years before Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth, won
Lifestyle Q&A: Ana ViegaMilton, Part 2
The wife of Cecil Milton—CEO of United Property Management, the firm launched in 1976 by his late father, José, that oversees some 9,000 residential units—may lead a life with its share of blessings, but rarely does a day go by where she isn’t actively paying it forward. Indeed, the quest to better people’s lives is
