Washington, DC, 14th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Mentorship played a defining role in Jason Goins’ career, both in and out of uniform. During his time in the Air Force, Goins learned firsthand how much a leader’s attention, trust, and inclusion can shape someone’s path. Now, he returns that investment through a steady presence in the lives of others—whether they’re younger Air Force members, former colleagues, or local youth in Washington, D.C.

“My first week in the Air Force, my boss gave me real responsibility,” Goins says. “He didn’t hover. He handed me the tools, gave me space to perform, and introduced me to everyone like I belonged there.” That early act of trust set the tone for how Goins would come to view leadership—not as control, but as empowerment.

“People underestimate how much it means to be given a role with purpose. When your leader treats you like you matter, the rest of the team follows.”

That same boss also modeled how to integrate someone into a system. Goins recalls how every introduction came with context. “He didn’t just throw me in. He showed the team that I had a place, that I was part of what we were doing together.”

Today, Goins makes sure others feel the same way—seen, equipped, and included.

He’s currently a registered mentor in the Washington, D.C. area, working with local youth on life skills, goal setting, and even driving lessons. “We talk through real stuff. Dreams. Fears. How to navigate life when things don’t go the way you expected. Sometimes I’m showing one of them how to parallel park. Sometimes I’m listening while they try to make sense of the world.”

Mentorship, for Goins, isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about presence. “A lot of people thought I had it all together during my Air Force career, so they didn’t ask. They didn’t check in. I don’t want anyone else to feel like they have to hold it all alone.”

That’s why he keeps open channels with former Air Force colleagues. Some he mentored directly. Others were part of teams he led. “I check in. Not about work—about life. You need a foundation before the crisis hits. If you wait until there’s a problem to build that trust, it’s too late.”

He’s open about his own struggles too. “If I’m honest about my mistakes, it gives them space to do the same. Then we learn together.”

Goins believes mentorship starts with one core discipline: listening. “God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. You can’t help someone if you don’t hear them first.”

He also puts major focus on helping people clarify their purpose. “If someone knows why they’re doing something, they’ll go farther than they thought possible. Purpose fuels action. Without it, you’re just drifting.”

Throughout his Air Force service, Goins applied this mindset in every role—from scientific operations to crisis response to program leadership. “Whether I was embedded with engineers or leading planning teams, the goal was always the same: help people grow so they can carry the mission forward without needing me.”

He doesn’t believe in gatekeeping knowledge or experience. “If you’ve been through something and you don’t use it to help the next person, what was the point?”

Mentorship, he says, is not an extra. It’s core to leadership. “You’re not building a product. You’re building people. And those people will build the next thing.”

He’s also clear about what mentorship is not: one-size-fits-all advice or authority posturing. “Mentorship doesn’t mean telling someone what to do. It means being in it with them. It’s not transactional. It’s relational.”

For Goins, the need for mentors in the Air Force and beyond hasn’t changed. What’s changed is how urgent it feels. “The pace of life, the pressure, the isolation people feel—it’s all louder now. People need a voice that says, ‘I see you. I’ve been there. You’re not alone.’”

That voice, in many cases, is his.

Mentorship doesn’t require a rank, title, or program. It starts with a decision to notice people—and stay consistent.

“Mentorship matters because people matter,” he says. “And nobody gets through anything hard without someone else walking with them.”

Canton, Michigan, 14th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, The open road represents freedom, adventure, and the distinct thrill that only a motorcycle can provide. Yet, for riders in Lima, Ohio and beyond, that freedom carries inherent risks that require more than just a helmet and protective gear. It requires a safety net that protects both the rider and their financial future. Tyler Sutton, a leading State Farm agent in Lima, Ohio, understands that true peace of mind on the highway comes from comprehensive preparation, not just luck.

For Sutton, insurance is not merely a legal requirement or a monthly premium; it is a fundamental component of responsible ownership. Whether cruising the winding routes from Flaherty to Leitchfield in Kentucky or navigating the streets of Lima, having the right coverage is the difference between a minor setback and a financial catastrophe.

The Reality of Risk on the Road

Motorcycling is distinct from driving a car, both in experience and in vulnerability. The exposure to the elements and other vehicles means that when accidents happen, the consequences are often more severe. Tyler Sutton emphasizes that the goal of motorcycle insurance is to mitigate these high-stakes risks. Without adequate coverage, riders expose themselves to significant liabilities, including the costs of bodily injury, property damage, and potential legal fees.

State laws across the country generally mandate a minimum amount of liability coverage. Failing to meet these requirements can lead to severe penalties, ranging from hefty fines and license revocation to potential jail time. However, Sutton argues that meeting the bare minimum is often insufficient for true protection. A policy that only covers liability leaves the rider’s own assets, their bike and their health, vulnerable in the event of an accident where they are at fault or where the other driver is uninsured.

Customizing Protection for the Individual Rider

One size rarely fits all in the world of insurance, and this is particularly true for motorcycle owners. At Tyler Sutton’s Lima State Farm office, the process begins with understanding the specific needs of the rider. Factors such as the type of bike, how it is used, and the rider’s personal history all play a role in determining the appropriate level of coverage.

Sutton advises riders to look beyond basic liability. Comprehensive and collision coverage, for instance, are essential for protecting the motorcycle itself against theft, vandalism, or accidents involving other vehicles or stationary objects. For those financing their bikes, lenders will almost certainly require these coverages to protect the asset. By tailoring policies to include options like emergency expenses, Sutton ensures that a mechanical breakdown or an accident far from home doesn’t leave a rider stranded and out of pocket.

Community Leadership and Professional Excellence

Tyler Sutton’s perspective on protection is deeply rooted in his broader philosophy of service. Since becoming a State Farm agent in 2020, Sutton has distinguished himself not just as a salesperson, but as a community leader committed to the well-being of Lima. His recognition in the Chairman’s Circle, an honor reserved for the top five percent of State Farm’s 19,000 agents, speaks to his professional acumen. However, it is his community engagement that truly defines his approach to business.

Tyler Sutton believes that a successful business has a moral obligation to strengthen its community. This belief was put into action when he organized his inaugural car and motorcycle show in 2022. The event was designed as a strategic initiative to foster human connection across demographic lines. By creating a neutral space where enthusiasts could bond over their shared passion for vehicles, Sutton facilitated a sense of unity often missing in modern transaction-based business relationships.

Building Trust Through Genuine Engagement

The success of Sutton’s community initiatives, from the car show to food distribution efforts, reinforces the trust clients place in his professional advice. When a rider sits down with Sutton to discuss motorcycle insurance, they are speaking with someone who views his agency as a community resource rather than just a profit center. This approach transforms the insurance conversation from a negotiation into a partnership focused on safety and security.

The feedback from the Lima community highlights the hunger for this type of authentic leadership. Events like the car show, which coincided with Armed Forces Day to honor veterans, demonstrate that Sutton understands the values of his neighbors. This deep connection allows him to serve his clients better, as he intimately understands the environment in which they live and ride.

Safeguarding Your Ride and Your Future

Ultimately, the decision to insure a motorcycle through Tyler Sutton is a decision to prioritize long-term security over short-term savings. The road ahead is unpredictable, but the protection one carries doesn’t have to be. By combining top-tier industry knowledge with a genuine commitment to the Lima community, Sutton offers riders a level of service that goes beyond the policy documents.

For those ready to hit the road and ride like the wind, the message is clear: don’t risk it. With options covering everything from bodily injury to theft, Tyler Sutton ensures that riders are good to go, protected by a policy that safeguards their assets and their way of life. In a world of uncertainty, that assurance is the most valuable accessory a rider can carry.

Richmond, Virginia, 14th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Film photographer Jens Mauthe has released a new photo essay focused on low-light interiors and signs of physical wear in overlooked Richmond structures. The project, shot entirely on black and white film and hand-printed in a home darkroom, continues Mauthe’s disciplined analog workflow and expands his public archive of process-based photography.

This series highlights how film renders subtle tonal shifts in dimly lit spaces. Mauthe photographed corners, baseboards, scuffed floors, and ambient surfaces where daylight barely reached. Many scenes are lit only by bounce light or window edge glow. To manage this, Mauthe selected slower films known for their latitude and shadow detail, pushed one stop only when necessary, and carefully controlled development to avoid contrast spikes.

He used manual 35mm and medium format cameras. Exposure was often metered by hand using incident readings or estimated from experience. Each frame was logged with notes on light angle, time of day, shutter speed, aperture, and any exposure compensation.

After development, Mauthe contact printed every roll to evaluate tonal range. Work prints followed, often in sets of three to five per image, with variations in contrast grade and exposure time. Burning and dodging were kept minimal, allowing the film and subject to lead. Only one final print per negative was selected and scanned for archival use.

This essay builds on his earlier themes of repetition and locality. All photographs were taken in two buildings over several weeks. Locations include unused stairwells, unlit corridors, and utility spaces with worn finishes. Mauthe revisited scenes repeatedly to photograph under varying weather and time-of-day conditions.

“I’m interested in where light barely lands,” he said. “That edge where things are almost invisible but still recordable on film.”

The final prints reveal worn surfaces—peeling paint, cracked tile, dust-covered vents—with quiet detail. Composition avoids strong diagonals or dramatic framing. Instead, images present straightforward views, cropped to emphasize symmetry or subtle imbalance. The goal was clarity and restraint.

The complete series appears now on Mauthe’s website. Visitors can review exposure notes, contact sheets, developer and dilution logs, and darkroom prints. Each step remains visible. No staging, no retouching. Only film, chemistry, and paper.

Mauthe uses the same archival workflow for every project. Film is stored in labeled sleeves with processing info. Final prints are dried flat, corner-tagged, and stored in acid-free boxes. He scans only finished prints, never negatives, maintaining print-first priority.

No gear changed during the project. Mauthe used one 50mm lens and one 80mm lens. He chose neutral-tone fiber paper for all prints and printed with a single enlarger and timer. By keeping variables limited, he isolated differences caused by light, surface, and exposure alone.

This photo essay is not for sale or gallery exhibition. It exists as a finished phase of Mauthe’s personal analog practice. The archive functions as a logbook, not a portfolio. It shows what film looks like when used carefully, repeatedly, and without external pressure.

Future essays will continue with the same format: one subject, one process, one method. For Mauthe, photography is not a product. It is a record of consistent choices, executed by hand, over time.

Richmond, Virginia, 14th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Jens Mauthe, an amateur analog photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, has released a new photo series rooted in visual repetition and slow observational change. The work, available now through his online archive, continues his commitment to mechanical cameras, darkroom printing, and full workflow transparency. Each image is shot, developed, printed, and documented by hand using film-only techniques.

The new series focuses on recurring architectural surfaces and objects photographed over weeks and months under shifting light conditions. Radiators, wall seams, window trim, and stairwell edges appear across multiple frames. Mauthe returned to the same Richmond buildings with the same equipment, often framing the same subject from nearly identical angles. The intent was not novelty, but subtle variation and control.

Mauthe shot on both 35mm and medium format black and white film using fully manual cameras. No digital backup or metering tools were used. Each exposure was manually calculated and recorded in a field notebook. He used only three film stocks across the entire project and limited his development process to two known developer types to reduce uncontrolled variables.

“The goal was to see what changed—light, surface, tone—when everything else stayed the same,” Mauthe explained. “I didn’t want better shots. I wanted more understanding of how film reacts to minor shifts.”

After development, each roll was contact printed in the darkroom to review exposure and composition. Select frames moved to enlargement, where Mauthe applied his usual structured printing sequence: test strips to evaluate base exposure, then a progression of contrast filters, followed by fine-tuning dodging and burning. Every adjustment was written down and linked to each negative.

Only one finished print per frame was archived. Multiple work prints were created, tested, and discarded along the way. Mauthe used fiber-based baryta paper for the entire project, choosing a neutral tone stock for its dry-down stability and surface feel. Final prints were washed, flattened, and stored in archival sleeves. The finished versions were then scanned for inclusion in the online archive.

The result is a set of visually quiet but technically rigorous photographs. Each image appears simple—often an empty wall or structural joint—but layered with slow craft. Shadows bend differently depending on season. Texture sharpens or dulls depending on contrast adjustments. The final work reflects weeks of attention per image.

Mauthe’s website now includes the full project, with contact sheets, developer logs, camera records, and detailed print notes. Viewers can trace the full process for each photograph from camera settings through darkroom manipulation. No parts are withheld or cleaned up for presentation. Failed negatives and printing errors remain part of the archive.

“I’m not interested in showing perfect work,” Mauthe said. “This isn’t about a highlight reel. It’s a study. The idea is that someone could follow the records and replicate every step if they wanted to.”

The new work stays local. All photographs were taken within a three-mile radius in Richmond, often within walking distance of Mauthe’s home. Locations include stairwells, school basements, vacant commercial interiors, and transitional hallways. The repetition of place reinforces the project’s technical intent: isolate controllable variables and observe material change.

This approach reflects Mauthe’s larger philosophy about analog photography. He treats the process as a discipline—measured, repeatable, and slow. His tools remain minimal. No camera swaps mid-project. No lens experiments. No film pushed or pulled. The camera becomes secondary to the print.

Photography remains a private pursuit. Mauthe does not sell his work or exhibit it commercially. The archive serves as a personal log made public. Each series adds to the broader documentation of his analog practice, which now spans multiple years and hundreds of rolls.

The new series will be followed by additional photo essays in 2026. Each future addition will continue in the same structure: capture, record, develop, print, publish. For Mauthe, the outcome is not a single striking image, but a long record of craft executed consistently.

Patented High-Speed Linear Motor, Micro-Precision Strokes, and Modular Sanding and Sawing in a Lightweight, Cordless Tool is Launching Soon on Kickstarter.

Hong Kong, China, 14th Jan 2026 – HOZO today announced the upcoming Kickstarter launch of NeoSander, a next-generation palm-sized detail sander engineered specifically for evolved makers who demand speed, precision, and control. Designed around a patented high-speed reciprocating linear motor, NeoSander delivers ultra-fast, straight-line motion optimized for fine-detail sanding in tight, complex spaces.

Developed for hands-on creators working at the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation, NeoSander represents the world’s first detail sander to use an ultra-fast 13000 SPM reciprocating linear motor rather than traditional gears and rods. This patented approach sends power directly to the sanding head, enabling faster, more responsive strokes while minimizing energy loss and vibration.

Rethinking Detail Sanding: Why Reciprocating Beats Rotary

Conventional rotary sanders rely on circular motion that can eat into surfaces, struggle with corners and narrow gaps, vibrate aggressively, and scatter dust throughout the workspace. NeoSander takes a fundamentally different approach.

Its straight-line, back-and-forth reciprocating motion eliminates gouging, reaches tight and irregular areas with ease, maintains low vibration, improves control, and produces less dust for a cleaner working environment. Operating at up to 13,000 strokes per minute, NeoSander pairs speed with micro-stroke control ranging from 0.6 to 1.8 mm, enabling spot-on precision for detail-focused tasks.

Built for Detail-Focused Creators

NeoSander is designed for creators who work where precision matters most, including 3D printing enthusiasts, DIY hobbyists, woodworkers, Gundam model builders, car modification enthusiasts, jewelry designers, and makers passionate about hands-on creativity and model making. Its lightweight, palm-sized cordless form factor allows users to work comfortably for extended periods while maintaining steady control.

Precision performance is reinforced by tight concentricity of less than 0.05 mm, delivering up to six times better concentricity than other reciprocating sanders. This allows every pass to be significantly more precise, helping creators achieve cleaner finishes on delicate materials and intricate surfaces.

A Modular System for Every Detail

NeoSander includes a full set of eight interchangeable sanding heads, each designed for specific detailing challenges. These include pointed, flat (slim, medium, and large), half-cylinder, arc, acute angle, and right-angle heads, enabling seamless transitions across contours, corners, grooves, and edges.

The tool also introduces an 8 heads × 8 grits system, allowing each sanding head to stay paired with its grit. This eliminates constant peeling and reapplying of sandpaper, reduces waste, and keeps workflows smooth and uninterrupted. Flexible foam-layer sandpapers further adapt to irregular surfaces, maintaining consistent contact across complex geometries.

Beyond Sanding: A Palm-Sized Reciprocating Saw

NeoSander extends beyond sanding with a patented anti-binding mini sawing system. Equipped with curved saw blades and jigsaw blades, it functions as the world’s first palm-sized mini reciprocating saw. The thicker, wave-shaped, double-tooth blade pattern enables faster, smoother, and jam-free cutting, expanding NeoSander’s capabilities into precision sawing applications.

Engineered for Comfort, Stability, and Control

Weighing approximately 5.29 ounces (150 grams), NeoSander features an aluminum alloy shell and a compact, cordless design. An internal counterweight moves opposite the sanding head to offset vibration, reducing handle vibration by up to 85% and enhancing control during detailed work. Additional features include fast charging, splash resistance for wet sanding, and neat storage for accessories.

A Legacy of Tools for Evolved Makers

NeoSander builds on HOZO’s established track record of successful crowdfunding launches. Across its product portfolio, including NeoBlade, NeoRuler, NeoRulerGO, M-Cube, M-Cube 02, MEAZOR, MEAZOR 3D, and ROLLVA, HOZO has raised over $2.8 million and earned the support of more than 16,000 backers.

HOZO describes its mission as making tools for evolved makers; creators who value precision, innovation, and thoughtful design. From advanced measuring instruments to ultrasonic cutters and now precision sanding and sawing, the company continues to develop tools designed to elevate the creative process.

NeoSander will be launching soon on Kickstarter. Full campaign details can be found at:

In 2026, brands are increasingly reassessing how they approach experiential activations.

Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa, 14th Jan 2026 – In 2026, brands are increasingly reassessing how they approach experiential activations. Traditional once-off, high-intensity campaign models are giving way to more sustained, always-on activation strategies. This shift reflects a broader recognition that brand relationships are built through consistent and relevant engagement rather than isolated campaign moments.

An always-on activation model focuses on maintaining brand presence throughout the year, rather than concentrating activity into short campaign periods. Brands are moving away from single large-scale roadshows in favour of smaller, repeatable activations that appear regularly in environments where consumers already spend time, such as retail spaces, workplaces and community settings. This approach supports ongoing visibility and familiarity while allowing for more frequent consumer interaction.

From an experiential perspective, always-on does not imply repetition without variation. Instead, it involves developing modular activation formats that can be adapted to different locations, audiences and contexts. A single creative concept can be deployed across multiple environments, including retail, community spaces, events and pop-ups, while maintaining consistent brand messaging.

Budget efficiency is another factor contributing to this shift. As marketing investment faces increased scrutiny, brands are seeking activation models that deliver value over a longer period. Always-on activations allow costs to be distributed over time and enable optimisation based on performance insights gathered from earlier executions. This supports a more data-informed approach to experiential marketing.

For activations agencies, this model requires a move away from campaign-based planning towards longer-term activation frameworks. Physical activations are increasingly integrated with digital platforms, social media and influencer activity, allowing on-the-ground engagements to generate ongoing online content and conversation.

Consistency also plays a role in building consumer trust. Repeated exposure to a brand in relevant environments can contribute to stronger recognition and credibility. Brand ambassadors benefit from continued engagement with the brand, while consumers become more familiar with its presence and messaging over time.

Measurement is a further advantage of always-on activations. Performance can be tracked across locations and time periods, with metrics such as engagement, conversion, sampling feedback and data capture providing benchmarks for evaluation. This enables clearer assessment of outcomes and supports informed decision-making for future activity.

In 2026, brands that approach activations as a long-term brand-building tool, rather than a short-term sales tactic, are increasingly aligning with this always-on model.

Land O Lakes, Florida, 14th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, James Perridge works as a strategic consultant who focuses on helping leadership teams align during periods of transition. His clients include mid sized organizations navigating growth, shifting service models, or technology adoption. In these moments, organizations often struggle to move from vision to execution. James Perridge supports this gap by clarifying roles, documenting agreements, and keeping teams anchored to shared priorities.

Leadership alignment sounds simple, but in practice, it breaks down often. When multiple leaders hold different assumptions about scope, ownership, or timelines, the rest of the organization stalls. Teams move forward with partial instructions. Decisions get reversed. Metrics get ignored. In response, James Perridge builds habits that prevent these breakdowns. His work focuses less on speeches or strategies and more on repeatable behaviors that support clarity.

He begins by surfacing assumptions. During planning phases, James Perridge uses structured prompts to help leaders define what success looks like and how it will be measured. He pushes teams to clarify who decides what and when. He then documents those answers in short, plain-language summaries that serve as shared references. This early alignment reduces friction when execution begins.

Throughout a project, he returns to the same structure. What was agreed. What changed. Who needs to be involved now. By reducing ambiguity, he helps teams focus on delivery instead of re-debating goals. This discipline supports accountability without blame. It also prevents the kind of confusion that leads to duplicate work or missed steps.

James Perridge works across nonprofit and technology sectors, often during high-stakes transitions. These can include major software changes, service redesigns, or leadership shifts. In each case, he keeps attention on what decisions mean for daily work. His methods include role definition matrices, decision logs, and milestone maps. These are not theoretical exercises. They are working tools that guide meetings and structure decisions.

One of his priorities is to make alignment visible. He helps leaders communicate in consistent language across departments. He encourages short updates tied to defined outcomes. He discourages vague direction or abstract goals. By anchoring language to observable progress, he creates a stable rhythm for teams. People know what matters and how to contribute.

His posture is steady and practical. James Perridge listens more than he talks. He takes notes, reflects patterns, and offers structured options. When misalignment appears, he addresses it early. He uses tools like decision trees and scenario charts to clarify tradeoffs. He avoids pressure-based decision-making and instead builds space for clear thinking.

Leadership alignment is especially critical during change. When people resist new systems or roles, the root cause is often unclear authority or shifting expectations. James Perridge helps leaders address these problems directly. He avoids quick fixes or broad campaigns. Instead, he helps teams document what will change, when it will happen, and who will help make it successful. He builds review points into the timeline and ensures leaders return to these checkpoints.

Over time, his approach creates stronger leadership habits. Leaders get better at defining scope early. They document more clearly. They adjust based on evidence rather than opinion. These behaviors scale. As organizations grow or change, these habits protect against chaos.

James Perridge also mentors early career managers. He helps them see alignment not as a one-time meeting but as an ongoing posture. He teaches how to clarify direction, how to surface disagreement early, and how to reset plans without losing momentum. His work develops leaders who take responsibility for both direction and execution.

One reason his methods work is that they fit within real constraints. Mid sized organizations often lack layers of support staff. Leaders manage multiple priorities. James Perridge doesn’t propose complex frameworks. He builds simple, low-cost systems that teams can maintain without him. This sustainability increases long term value.

James Perridge continues to focus on leadership alignment because it sits at the center of organizational success. Without it, strategy breaks apart. With it, execution becomes possible. His work doesn’t call attention to itself. Instead, it makes room for other people to succeed.

His goal is not to control outcomes but to create the structure that supports them. That means surfacing assumptions, documenting plans, and reinforcing habits that lead to clarity. In this way, James Perridge offers organizations more than advice. He gives them structure they can use, long after he’s gone.
