ONE OF THE MOST OVERUSED WORDS IN OUR MODERN AMERICAN LEXI-

Tom Cook, Ben Malkin, Remington Runyan

CON IS “AMAZING.” I see it on social media and hear it in conversation or on TV. I think it started with Billy Crystal’s parody of the word, “like so….Amaaaaaaaahhhhzzzzing!” He is a really funny guy—been laughing at his humor since “Soap.” However, I blame him for what has become a cliched response to almost anything good.

One would think that this overstated but positive adjective would be most commonly overused by young people, but it cuts across most generations from Millennials all the way to Boomers. As a fairly opinionated and sometimes crotchety observer of what I consider to be the foibles of society, overuse of “amazing” is one of many things that drives me nuts when I hear or see it. I guess I can soldier on in the spirit of the late Andy Rooney from “60 Minutes.”

But here goes! The energy, spirit and generosity of our communities, nonprofits and individuals as they all collectively worked on recovery from the simultaneous

Transforming “PASSING IT FORWARD” BY DOING GOOD DEEDS IN EXCHANGE FOR MENTOR/TUTORING SESSIONS THROUGH THE EMILY SHANE FOUNDATION, LOCAL YOUTH GAIN EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS WHILE PRESERVING THE MEMORY OF MALIBU TEEN EMILY SHANE,

Lives: EMILY SHANE FOUNDATION BUTTERFLY MAGIC FUNDRAISER CELEBRATES SUCCESS

WHO WAS TRAGICALLY STRUCK BY A CAR AND KILLED IN APRIL 2010. Created by her mother, Ellen Shane, the Emily Shane Foundation aims to give back to the community by helping underserved children receive needed educational assistance.

“The only cost for every child is that they have to do one good deed for every session, in the hopes that (these) young people become more socially conscious,” says Ellen, whose daughter Emily struggled with academic challenges, including dyslexia. Many students like Emily fall into a “gray area” where they need extra help but do not qualify for special education, explains Ellen.

Thus, the mission of the foundation’s Successful Educational Achievement Program is to provide resources to disadvantaged struggling/failing middle school students who cannot afford tutoring and do not qualify for special education. Partnering with schools to identify kids who need assistance, the organization hires and trains college students and recent graduates for a year-long one-on-one mentorship with a student, helping them develop organizational and study skills so they can succeed in school and in life, explains Ellen.

Malibu Coast Lifestyle | November 2019

“A mentor takes the time to get to know them to see their circumstances; you can't do that unless you're working one-on-one to foster a relationship with them,” says Ellen. “Then they can figure out the best way they can reach this student, and hopefully bring them on the right course, to give them more opportunities in life so they finish school.”

What began with only a few kids has grown into a program serving hundreds of students at 12 sites throughout Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

BALANCE YOUR HEALTH, BALANCE YOUR LIFE

“The results that I see,” says Ellen about the more than 600 kids served so far by the Emily Shane Foundation, are encouraging. “They've just never had the right help,” she says.

CELEBRATING SUCCESS

Q 360 IS THE LEADER IN CUTTING EDGE HOLISTIC HEALTH TECHNOLOGY

This month’s upcoming Butterfly Magic Fundraiser, November 3, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Pepperdine University’s Alumni Park, benefits the Emily Shane Foundation’s SEA Program. The free fundraising event is open to the community and includes a silent auction, food trucks, musicians,

children’s activity area, mentor tribute table and a butterfly release.

Butterflies were special and significant to Emily, and they represent transformation, explains Ellen.

“This program transforms a child who is struggling in school to help them become successful in school and in life. These kids may have never had someone who is positive or that says, ‘I believe in you’,” says Ellen. The Emily Shane Foundation puts the money directly into the program to sustain mentor/tutors, area coordinators, program managers and staff.

“The work is very rewarding for the mentors and it really does immensely help these children. We all need someone who’s there to help motivate us!” says Ellen.

insurance companies minimizing their risk exposure—two components that “lend themselves perfectly” to wealth management.

“Our goal is simply to improve every client’s portfolio—creating financial peace of mind,” Jeff says.

Growing up in a town of only 100,000 people, his foundation of values was instilled early on and play a huge part in what makes Runyan Capital Advisors successful. One of the biggest aspects of his “value set” that applies to all business is based on a simple but powerful principle: “mean what you say, and say what you mean.”

“It’s about reliability and integrity—when it comes to managing people’s money, these characteristics are critical,” Jeff emphasizes.

LOVE OF MALIBU As a Malibu resident, Jeff especially loves the small-town feel of his community, which reminds him of the place he grew up.

He used to live in Beverly Hills, where it was less common to know the neighbors.

“Malibu feels like the town where I was born and raised—it’s very neighborly,” he says.

When he’s not working, Jeff enjoys spending time with his family, helping out with activities at the Sycamore School, and watching his sons play in Malibu Little League and AYSO soccer games.

“We love the community we’re involved in,” says Jeff, who also enjoys attending business roundtable discussions with other leaders in the Malibu community.

A recent example signifying the sense of community in Malibu occurred when he competed in the inaugural Half Ironman in Malibu, which involved a 1.2-mile ocean swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run.

During the bike ride, “I got a flat tire at mile 40, which led to a 42-minute delay for tech to repair,” Jeff recalled. During the wait—when he was 16 miles away from the bike finish line—two other competitors, and two people not participating in the race, stopped to offer help.

“It changed my perspective for the rest of the race—it was a pivotal moment and very refreshing—and something like that would have happened in Missouri,” Jeff remembers. “Even with that delay, it’s my favorite race to date.”

Jeff could have quit the competition before the race ended, but he had his children in mind.

“The reason I didn’t quit is because I have two kids,” says Jeff, who would have finished in seventh place if it weren’t for the tire mishap. “There was more value in showing them that you will run into obstacles. It’s important to keep going. You have to finish.”

The flat tire experience is like a metaphor for life—as well as business.

AMERICA’S BEST CHRISTMAS DISPLAY IS JUST A SHORT DRIVE AWAY!

Malibu Coast Lifestyle | November 2019

IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT THERE IS A FULL-BLOWN WINTER WONDERLAND RIGHT HERE IN LOS ANGELES, THEN YOU HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN MISSING OUT. For more than 65 years, Aldik Home has been dazzling Southern Californians (and visitors from all over the globe!) with a jaw-dropping display of the most beautiful Christmas décor found anywhere in the world. Each year is a completely new design and you’ll just have to trust us when we say this one is the best yet!

With more than 60 fully-decorated Christmas trees ranging from 4 to 12 feet, stepping inside Aldik Home is like entering a different world. There are thousands of unique ornaments, twinkling lights, spools of luxurious ribbon, and so much more around every corner. There are Santas, angels, glittery stems, and even an overhead light display! You’ll feel like you’re walking into Disneyland, but without that admission fee! It’s impossible not to be in awe as you stroll through this enchanted forest of delightful décor, but truly, the most breathtaking aspect of this entire display are the trees themselves.

Aldik Home’s tree lot features every size of every style of artificial Christmas tree that they sell. The crown jewel of the Tree Lot is Aldik Home’s collection of Neuman Trees, which are quite simply the best artificial Christmas trees in the world.

Exponentially better than any Christmas tree you’ll find online at a retailer such as Balsam Hill, Neuman Trees represent the gold-standard. With better lights, more realistic styles, and a commitment to excellence that is unsurpassed, there are no better artificial Christmas trees than Neuman Trees. Don’t make a mistake and order something online that you’ll regret, when you can see the best trees in the country with your own eyes. Falling in love with the Christmas tree of your dreams is easier than ever at Aldik Home’s Tree Lot. If you’re truly looking to light up your home for the holidays, Aldik Home showcases the most spectacular assortment of lights that you have laid eyes upon. Whether you’re looking for twinkling lights with very thin wires, immensely long strings of LED lights (148 feet long!), or a total home LED string light solution, Aldik Home has it all in spades. Some of our favorites are the stunning Neon rope lights, the twinkling gold-colored LED Cascades, and the futuristic Neverdim battery lights. These battery light strings are cutting-edge technology: they are constantly bright, customizable and indoor/outdoor. Illuminate your holidays with help from Aldik Home’s light room.

‘Tis the season to discover the most incredible Christmas display in the country. When it comes to Christmas decor, Christmas lights, and especially Christmas trees, there’s no place like Aldik Home!

Aldik Home is located at 7651 Sepulveda Blvd., in Van Nuys. Contact them at 818.988.5970 or learn more at AldikHome.com.
