Caledonia, MI, February 10, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Childress Ink announces the acquisition of author, podcaster, blogger, speaker and silicon valley veteran Joe Martin, a tech industry specialist who passionately shares his story of success, subsequent burnout, and coming back from the ashes, in order to help others achieve more balance in their work and life.
Sharing tried-and-true advice gleaned from personal experience and gathered from other CEOs and industry professionals, Martin has been quoted in AP, WSJ, The NY Times, Forbes and more; and his writings can be found on Hubspot, Read/Write, Medium, and other tech blogs, including his own.
“Joe has always been one of my favorite content creators and business leaders to follow. His style is open and endearing, but knowledgeable and actionable.” -Mala Sharma, VP of Adobe
“Joe is a true leader in the business tech space. His ability to connect with everyone directly with his experience and the experience of others provides a great path for anyone looking to have more wellness or balance with their career and home life.” -Dan Street, CEO of Scorpion
“Besides his excellent writing, I was really drawn to Joe’s genuine excitement and passion surrounding his works,” says Acquiring Agent, Diana Vilic.
“I appreciate Joe’s unique approach to the idea of balance, unlike other titles in the same space,” says Kim Childress, product developer working with Vilic. “In that there is no such thing as true work-life balance, but instead he offers realistic ways we can adapt and respond, to handle life’s inevitable imbalances, and achieve our own success at our own pace.”
Joe also operates a podcast, called, “The Age of An Experience,” with over 100k Linkedin live views on the episodes. With an MBA from Utah and a degree in Entrepreneurship from Stanford GSB, Martin is married, the proud father of three, and loves to be outside as much as possible. Learn more at Joedmartin.com.

Author Denise A. Powis’s New Book, “Just be Yourself and No One Else!” Follows Three Punctuation Marks Who Try to Change Who They Are But Simply Cause Confusion
Copenhagen, NY, October 07, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Denise A. Powis, a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who enjoys painting, inventing, writing, and gardening, has completed her new book, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”: a heartfelt story that follows three punctuation marks who discover the importance of being true to themselves and what they do best.
In 2005, author Denise Powis received a bachelor of science degree from Empire State College, and she has worked for many years in the helping professions as a certified nursing assistant, home health aide, and substitute teacher for special education classes. At the present time, she teaches a Bible study/support group for women. In 1979, she won a 17 Islands National sailboat race.
In “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!”, readers are introduced to a period, an exclamation point, and a question mark who all long for a change of pace and decide to switch places one day. However, they soon discover they are not well suited for performing their new roles, and decide that they were made perfect for their original purpose.
Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Denise A. Powis’s engaging tale will delight readers of all ages as they discover the importance of accepting one’s self and being true to who they really are. With colorful artwork and a powerful life lesson, “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” will help boost confidence amongst young readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page.
Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “Just Be Yourself and No One Else!” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities
The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
