COMMUNITY UPDATES
On Making a Place As we continue on with this series of articles, they begin to stop functioning as separate pieces and instead start culminating into a bigger picture of traditional neighborhood developments. So, too, do the items we’ve discussed beget more cohesive concepts. This month, we will take what we’ve learned and insert it into a bigger picture: a term called “placemaking,” or the multipart approach taken when planning, designing, and managing traditional neighborhoods. To reiterate previous articles, variations of living spaces, mixeduse land uses, a main street, and an easily navigable and walkable design are all key characteristics of traditional neighborhood developments, which work together to contribute to this idea of “placemaking.” At the heart of placemaking is inspiring the collective to reimagine public spaces, which, in turn, shifts these spaces into places, and these places, then, become the heart of the community. Perhaps the most important part of placemaking is that it holds a deep value to those

Moreover, and in a similar vein, placemaking functions as a feeling which improves the physical and emotional wellbeing of a traditional neighborhood’s residents.

The environmental community was fiercely opposing this new town, mostly east of the Econ River. Working together with St. Johns Water Management District and Orange County, we all did the right thing by figuring out a transaction that would create the Hal Scott Preserve Park.

In Switzerland, my Christmas memories begin with a visit by Saint Nicolas that takes place on December 6th. Kids are told that Saint Nicolas lives in the Black Forest and knows everything about all the children, the good and the not so good. Therefore, on December 6th, Saint Nicolas visits all children, one on one. He carries a large book in which all the good deeds and shortcomings of every child is written. It is sort of the day of reck-
Well, this year my family and I will spend Christmas in Orlando and our celebration is somewhat different. I will “secretly” buy a Christmas tree and “smuggle” it somehow into the house. On Christmas Eve the kids will be out of the house for all afternoon, while the Christmas tree will be decorated by my wife and me. We will have Christmas dinner with a traditional breaded ham and after the kids are escorted to the living room. Here is where the children will discover the Christmas tree and presents are appearing as a great surprise, that have been brought by the Christ Child. When a friend told me at age 7, that the Christmas tree and presents are brought in by the parents, I did not believe it, and told him the tree is coming through the chimney by the Christ Child along with all the presents. As will the tradition continue in the Kahli household.
Entering the holiday season, we are all looking back to this very unusual first year of the new decade. Actually, I am even looking back a quarter of a century in east Orlando. It was in December 1995, after spending a few weeks in Orlando, I boarded a plane at the Orlando International Airport and grabbed a copy of the Orlando Sentinel.

Top 13 Books for an Entrepreneur’s 2021 Reading List Whether it be through an iPhone, laptop, or tablet, the internet’s infinite resources are never farther than a fingertip away, making it easier to search Google than search through a book. However, books offer stories and anecdotes that the internet does not, which is why it is important to read in order to be successful in whatever way you wish. If you’re an entrepreneur looking to create the most successful version of yourself and your business, here is a list of 20 books that should be on your reading list for 2021. Note that this list is not in any particular order. 1. Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod In his book, MacLeod breaks down the 40 ways through which to increase creativity. No matter what kind of business is being run, creativity is key when it comes to generating ideas. Perhaps this book’s best quality is that MacLeod writes in a relatable way using easy-to-understand language, making it perfect for both the beginner and the expert. 2. The Empathy Edge: Harnessing the Value of Compassion as an Engine for Success by Maria Ross Something that is often overlooked but always necessary for a successful business is the development of emotional intelligence, and Ross’s book discusses just that. Her main argument is that many problems that plague businesses stem from a lack of empathy, or understanding, for clients and coworkers. If you’re looking to improve your business holistically, or if you can’t figure out why something is not working within your business, Ross’s book is for you! 3. What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit of Excellence by Stephen Schwarzman One of the best ways to become a successful entrepreneur is to examine the journey of and advice from someone whose success is similar to what you seek. Schwarzman, who is the CEO of one of the most prominent investment firms in the world, details his journey from student to CEO. This book is good for everyone, but especially those whose careers are just beginning. 4. The Non-Obvious Guide to Emotional Intelligence by Kerry Goyette In the same vein of Ross’s book is Goyette’s The non-Obvious Guide to Emotional Intelligence. This book emphasizes the importance of creating connections with clients, coworkers, and the rest of the world, while also outlining the ways through which entrepreneurs can build more useful relationships and lead with a purpose. This book is helpful for anyone trying to create more meaningful and fulfilling relationships. 5. Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds by David Goggins While easier said than done, many entrepreneurs credit their success to a simple change of mindset. Although conceptually intense at times, Goggins argues that most people only use 40% of their capabilities, and his book encourages the development of these capabilities. This book works for both the beginner and seasoned entrepreneur looking to overcome fear in order to reach their full potential. 6. How to Get Sh*t Done: Why Women Need to Stop Doing Everything So They Can Achieve Anything by Erin Falconer If you’re a woman in business who just can’t find a book that understands you, Falconer’s might be the answer! Many traditional self-help entrepreneurial books are written by men and therefore tend to overlook the struggles that women in business face every day as a result of cultural and societal pressures. From anecdotes to real advice, Falconer’s book is best suited for women looking to restructure their ideas of productivity in order to work smarter, not harder. 7. Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport As mentioned in the beginning of this article, using technology is often the easier alternative to reading and working. In his book, Newport discusses the many gadgets that distract us and offers ways to effectively use and prioritize technology to aid productivity rather than increasing
distractions. If you, like most of us, find yourself often down a rabbit hole of Instagram posts or YouTube videos, Newport’s book can help you determine the best ways to use the technology that surrounds us. 8. How I Built This: The Unexpected Paths to Success from the World’s Most Inspiring Entrepreneurs by Guy Raz (Cont...) Raz’s book, based on the highly-regarded podcast of the same name, is a kind of anthology featuring tips and inspirations from world-renowned entrepreneurs regarding starting, initiating, and further building a successful business. Of all the books on this list, this one is likely the most diverse: from the Buddhist monk who created Headspace to the sandwich cart vendor who started Stacy’s Pita Chips, every reader will be able to identify with and learn from at least one of the 200 entrepreneurs interviewed in this book. 9. The Unicorn’s Shadow: Combating the Dangerous Myths that Hold Back Startups, Founders, and Investors by Ethan Mollick One of the more evidence-based books in this list, Mollick’s book is best for the skeptical entrepreneur. He explains the phenomenon behind the billionaire “unicorns,” like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, how most startups do not begin like Facebook or Microsoft, and how the discourse surrounding these “unicorns” lead to discouraging and dangerous myths about starting a business. Whether you’re looking to assuage your fear of starting a business or seeking critical, data-based analysis about successful businesses, Mollick’s book is for you. 10. First Pitch: Winning Money, Mentors, and More for Your Startup by Debi Kleiman While helpful for all business people, Kleiman’s book is best suited for beginner entrepreneurs looking to perfect their pitches. Kleiman’s book, which is based directly on her own experiences as an entrepreneur and marketer, teaches readers how to craft impressive pitches to gain support for their businesses. Whether you’re just starting up or wanting to go the extra mile with your business pitch, Kleiman’s information will be of benefit. 11. Lean AI: How Innovative Startups Use Artificial Intelligence to Grow by Lomit Patel For both the ambitious and the preeminent entrepreneur, Patel shows you how to use Artificial Intelligence in order to produce substantial results for your company. Unlike most of the other books featured on this list, Patel’s is certainly advanced and requires some background knowledge regarding AI and automation; however, with some patience and perseverance, he will teach you explicitly how to use technology to your business’s advantage. 12. Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou Carreyrou’s book stands apart from the rest of the list because its goal is not to advise or direct, but rather tell the story of a failed and dangerous startup. The inclusion of this book on this list, however, is not to promote fear—contrarily, it serves as an important lesson to be learned and thus help entrepreneurs avoid a similar mistake. The story follows a Silicon Valley “unicorn” startup that aimed to revolutionize the medical field, but instead harmed more people than it helped. This journalistic book is a cautionary tale that, similarly to reading success stories, may help to show you the dos and don’ts of starting a business. 13. The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Risk and Decisions: Building Successful Early-stage Ventures by Thomas G. Pittz and Eric W. Liguori Piggybacking off of the book mentioned before this one, Pittz and Liguori delve into the necessary risks and decisions one must make when starting a business. Rooted in their many years of studying and working with early-stage businesses, Pittz and Liguori are here to share the most practical advice concerning the important decisions that may separate a successful business from an unsuccessful one. Looking to learn how to manage risks and improve your business model? Give Pittz and Liguori a shot!

With Team Volusia’s Help, SeaMax Begins Assembly Operations in the US The Brazilian Aircraft Manufacturer, SEAMAX Aircraft, announces this month the launch of the company assembly operations in the USA. Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation was instrumental in assisting SeaMax with its site selection and introducing the company to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University officials so that mutual interests could be considered. The company and the university collaborated to form a partnership that includes establishing SeaMax America’s United States Headquarters at Embry-Riddle’s John Mica Engineering and Aerospace Innovation Complex at Embry Riddle Research Park (aka MicaPlex). In pandemic times, while most businesses are holding tight on their seatbelts, SEAMAX moves a step forward and makes a bold statement to the market by adding an “assembled in the USA” tag to their superior performance aircraft, the SEAMAX M-22. This company has been planning this move for the past three years, requiring extensive market research and engineering upgrades. For this task, the company engaged with the world premiere aviation institution, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where some 100 students, both graduate, and undergraduate students tutored by business professors, prepared comprehensive business assessments were taken seriously by SEAMAX core administration.

INTERNATIONAL UPDATE Meet the Member
Interview with Danuta Cichocka from Resistell The 5th Floor is an international collaborative pro-work space where members are able to enjoy international collaboration benefits in our 5th Floor locations and connections throughout the world. We would like to introduce you to Switzerland member, Danuta Cichocka. 1. How did Resistell come about? We created Resistell to develop a test to help physicians around the world to find the right antibiotic in time. We also want to contribute to the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance. 2. Could you give us a short overview of Resistell? Resistell proposes an alternative to current antibiotic suscepti-
bility tests (AST) which are also known as antibiograms. Currently, phenotypic ASTs take up to several days, which is too late for the evidence based decision making. Resistell is able to deliver AST results within a few hours, based on measurement of vibrations of living bacteria using micromechanical sensors. As this cutting-edge technology does not rely on bacterial growth, patients can be treated with the optimal medication from day one.
3. What makes Resistell future-oriented? Before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was already one of the biggest global health challenges. In many countries, patients hospitalized with COVID-19 receive antimicrobial therapies as part of the standard clinical care package. Excessive and arbitrary use of these powerful medicines trig-
gers the development of multidrug resistance. This leads to higher costs for the healthcare system and more deaths due to resistance of bacteria. 4. Resistell is a company founded and based in Basel. What do you particularly appreciate about this region? The region offers excellent infrastructure, access to an excellent talent pool and global industry.

COVID Testing
Depending on your condition, you may now be able to consult with your physical therapist virtually from the comfort of your home. You may even be able to have an online video visit. Your therapist can remotely go over your therapy goals and other key parts of your treatment plan, such as: • Exercises to build up your strength • Stretches to increase flexibility • Ways to manage pain, such as ice or heat therapy • Other ways to care for yourself, such as massage In some cases, a video visit may be the best option, especially if you need to stay home and away from other people. For instance, if you have an underlying health condition, like heart disease, that puts you at high risk for serious illness from coronavirus, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you have such concerns, reach out to your therapist to talk about how you can still receive much-needed care.
