Bio:Hyper-focused on bringing the value of the freelance marketplace to businesses (startups, small & medium-sized business), as well as skilled individuals who have the ability to earn money freelancing.I have been in technology for 20-years. A freelancer at heart, I started out designing websites in the early 2000s when most businesses did not have one. My journey in tech has taken me many places around the world, many industries, ultimately landing in Fintech with a heavy focus on data, analytics, and the business of technology.I published a book back in 2016 titled "What's Your Coffee Strategy?" (5-Stars on Amazon) outlining the blueprint I've used to build relationships, create value, and ultimately elevate my career. I am now using those same principles to build Belancing.com.I am avid reader, practicing triathlete, country-hopper, and now focused squarely on bringing the benefits of freelancing, creating value, and understanding the business of technology to more people around the world.

Guest ProfileName: Don OwensWhat They do: Don Owens, CEO, HNO Green Fuels, aims to move energy technology forward environmentally and financially sustainable way.Company: HNO Green FuelsNoteworthy: Don Owens has dedicated the last decade to developing a customized hydrogen energy solution that would become broadly applicable- the LeefH2™️ Hydrogen Generator System, securing 19 patents. He has tested and proven the LeefH2 in laboratories approved by the California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.BioDon Owens is known as one of the most creative technological innovators – and Black entrepreneurs – of our time. Don Owens (CEO of HNO Green Fuels and author of revolutionary read, Burn Fuel Better) is tackling our global climate crisis from a new angle. After patenting a technology that can save the planet — and all of us who call it home — before our time to act runs out.After discovering that his hydrogen-powered, fuel-saving technology could decrease the creation of harmful particulate matter by half within any engine that burns fuel, Owens dove deep into the issue and discovered his true calling: to help those in power understand the true devastation caused by black carbon particulate matter, to encourage them to set aside their political or ideological differences, and to motivate them to join forces today and scale-out his solution globally (in time to make a difference). He outlines why black carbon is 1500x more harmful to the planet than the more popular focal point, CO2 while offering a patented solution that can be adapted almost endlessly to cut down black carbon creation worldwide. What's impressive is that his solution doesn't require a complete shift to renewable energy or total abandonment of fossil fuels. It, quite simply, helps burn those fuels better through technology — and the only thing preventing widespread adoption is a lack of global awareness of the issue. Connect with Don Owens!

Guest ProfileName: Neil ThompsonWhat They Do: As a product development engineer, I had to speak in front of management every month for project status meetings. I was terrible at it at first but improved significantly over time. I turned everything I learned into an online public speaking course called Teach the Geek to Speak. The course's focus is helping STEM professionals communicate effectively with those outside their field, such as management and customers.Company: Teach The GeekNoteworthy: Blacks are underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math). I want to change that, and strongly believe that getting kids to think about STEM when they're young is the way to go. I wrote a book to let Black kids know (if they didn't already) that STEM is for them, too. I used hair as the vehicle to impart that message. The book is about my nephew Anthony asking me why his hair is the way it is. I use science to answer the question.BioNeil Thompson teaches geeks, talks to geeks, and writes books for future geeks. With his company, Teach the Geek, he works with engineers and scientists so that they can communicate more effectively with non-technical audiences. He's the host of the Teach the Geek podcast, interviewing those with STEM (science, technology, engineering, science) backgrounds about public speaking. He's also the author of the children's book, Ask Uncle Neil: why is my hair curly? The book is about his nephew asking him why his hair is the way it is, and Neil using science to answer the question. The motivation for the book is to encourage more Black children to consider careers in STEM.Connect with Neil Thompson!
