coaster of emotions, you have proved that we as humans, are… resilient. For that, I am grateful. You’ve taught us all that we need to slow down, look around, and appreciate what we have. You’ve taught us to listen, to learn, and improve by pivoting and practicing patience. The biggest thing I have personally learned in 2020 is that nothing is permanent. We all must adapt, grow, and above all, be kind. So many blessings come from the lessons in 2020. Thank you. The one thing I do believe to be true is that people are inherently good, which is

SPREADING KINDNESS WITH KINDLI MEET THE NEW DIGITAL PLATFORM THATâ€™S REVOLUTIONIZING SOCIAL MEDIA

ARTICLE MICHELLE GLICKSMAN | PHOTOGRAPHY TRACY ANN BATTAGLIA/FULLY ALIVE PHOTOGRAPHY 20

Scottsdale Lifestyle | December 2020

IT WAS 2017, AND MARTIN DIAMOND WAS BRAINSTORMING. The founder and CEO of VURIA, LLC, a digital media firm in Scottsdale, he has managed the design and development of thousands of web and mobile projects, marketing initiatives, and media productions for companies around the world. He was well-versed in the digital space, which is where the father of three saw something he realized he wanted to change. “My problem was looking at social media and seeing what I thought were so many things wrong with it, which I [then] sought to fix, to give it a purpose and make it better,” he explains. As of last month, what began as an idea launched as an app, website, and social movement. Kindli, as it’s called, is a platform with a purpose—and it’s ready to change the world. Kindli was built to focus on the positive and eliminate the negative. Yes, that means that there’s no bullying or hateful language, and there are no depressing conversations about news or politics. Instead, the narrative is on kindness and positivity. The revolutionary idea was created to propel a sustainable movement that impacts positive global change. Even in just its development stage, the idea of spreading kindness had a big draw. In that time, it attracted such founding members as professional baseball and football star Tim Tebow, three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, and WWE star Thaddeus Ballard (also known as Titus O’Neil). And Darleen Santore, also known as Coach Dar and for her work with professional athletes, also signed on as the CKO—Chief Kindness Officer. “I have served as the U.S. Ambassador for Global Pay It Forward Day since 2015, and as a board-certified occupational therapist and mental conditioning coach, helping the well-being of others and creating positive global change has always been my personal mission. When I was asked to partner with Kindli as Chief Kindness Officer, I knew this would be an incredible opportunity to make an impact, spread kindness, and help boost the mental well-being of people who use social media daily. I believe the world needs Kindli and is ready to create a positive and tangible shift in humanity,” Santore says. So, what exactly is Kindli? While in some respects it looks similar to the social media apps that most people are already familiar with in that they can post, like, and comment, Kindli is distinctly different. Everything on the site is positive, and kind acts are celebrated. It is designed to be a safe space for people to connect, and where they can be inspired or inspire others.

Martin Diamond and Darleen Santore CityLifestyle.com/Scottsdale

INSPIRED BY (CONTINUED)

“I HOPE THAT THIS PLATFORM HELPS THE WELL-BEING OF PEOPLE—THEIR MENTAL HEALTH—AND IT LIFTS UP THEIR SPIRITS AND INSPIRES THEM TO SERVE.”

KINDLI CARDS In addition to the platform, Kindli provides a home for the “Pay It Forward” movement with real-world Kindli Cards™, a proprietary, patent-pending method of tracking kind acts worldwide. Diamond explains them by using the well-known Starbucks drive-thru “pay it forward” experience. Except, in this scenario, a Kindli user would leave a Kindli Card with the barista, and ask them to give it to the car behind them when they tell them their order was paid for. The card— which has no details on it that would personally identify the card’s giver—has a QR code. If the person who was on the receiving end wanted to say thank you, they could scan the card with their phone and send an anonymous thank you message, photo, or video to the Kindli member. That member could then share that message to their Kindli profile to inspire others to perform their own acts of kindness. Those involved do have the option to reveal their identity and connect on the platform if they want. Not only were the cards created to inspire kindness, but to track the number of kind acts they inspired, as well. Kindli founders have a mission of inspiring one billion acts of kindness around the world. MAKING IT A POSITIVE PLACE Anyone can create an account on Kindli and browse for free, but there are safeguards built in to ensure that it remains a safe and positive place. In order to comment or post content—the first time only—members are required to make a one-time, one dollar payment, which Kindli then donates 100% of to one of its charity partners, which include organizations such as United Way Worldwide, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, ASPCA, GLAAD, Special Olympics, Disabled Veterans, Susan G. Komen, Tim Tebow Foundation, and Bullard Family Foundation. This feature is designed to not only eliminate fake accounts, but, since the purchase will be linked to an in-app purchase, enforce accountability and Martin Diamond and Kindli cards

strict content guidelines. The proceeds also help with another of Kindli’s goals— to donate one billion dollars to nonprofit organizations.

Scottsdale Lifestyle | December 2020

Diamond agrees that inspiring one billion acts of kindness across the globe and donating one billion dollars to charity are big goals, but says confidently, “Yes, they are lofty goals, but I think with this platform we can reach them. “The basic premise [of Kindli] was to create a positive alternative for social media where people can interact and walk away feeling good about the time they spent on the platform, and maybe feel a little more positive about the world and life in general, rather than what I saw was just a downward spiral of negativity and a very hostile, very unfriendly environment that was being fostered and just increasing in ‘traditional’ social media,” he explains. “It really just was trying to figure out a path to fix what I saw were the major flaws in those platforms that were allowing them to be abused and taken over by hate, and, essentially, allowing them to become a very, very toxic environment.” REDEFINING THE INFLUENCER Kindli also aims to change the current perception of what it means to be an influencer on social media. Currently, influencers are generally popular and are often endorsing products. Kindli hopes to alter that definition to someone who changes others’ behavior and inspires them to do good things, and truly makes a positive impact on those around them. “On Kindli, rather than putting the focus on just likes and popularity, our emphasis is more on what have you done to make a difference, and how much of an impact are you making?” Everyone from companies to celebrities to individuals will be able to show the world how much they are an influencer by the number of Kindli cards they’ve given out, based on the number that will be linked to their profile. SPOT THE BUS Kindli also now has a dedicated bus, which goes around with what they call their “Street Team,” and often a celebrity, making random stops to do random acts of kindness. This was recently on display when Tebow and the Street Team took the bus around Phoenix and stopped at a gas station, where they surprised customers by paying for their gas, and Tebow actually pumped their gas and cleaned their windshields. They also stopped by a teen football practice, where Tebow gave the team an inspiring speech, as well as a grocery store where they paid for customers’ groceries, and more. Kindli will also feature Daily Kindness content, a stream of feelgood stories, videos, and news. “I hope that this platform helps the well-being of people—their mental health—and it lifts up their spirits and inspires them to serve. I hope this is the platform they turn to, to be uplifted and inspired. [After being on the site], I want people to leave it better than they started their day. This is going to change the word for better,” says Santore. Darleen Santore

Then there’s his record studio, MIA Records.

To say D’Agnolo is multi-faceted in music is a big understatement. He finds joy in creating his own music, and also in helping others create theirs.

AMAZON PRIME CONTENT CREATOR, SCOTTSDALE STUDIO OWNER, AND REALITY TV SHOW STAR

Eight years ago, D’Agnolo started a project called The Recording Studio. It was endeavor that brought bands together to record music, and then stream it online. The project lasted about a year before it was put on the back burner. “We were a little ahead of our time back then,” D’Agnolo says. “Nobody was really going online to watch live music at that time.” At the beginning of 2020, D’Agnolo and his wife, Emily, were ready to get the ball rolling again for The Recording Artist. That’s when the global pandemic shook things up a little. Live shows were cancelled, creating an opportunity to really get The Recoding Artist up and running. “Everyone was performing online,” he says. The current model of The Recording Artist is a subscription-based online platform that allows listeners/viewers a deeper look into the music recording process. The participating bands go through a vetting process helmed by Courtney Sheber, head of A & R (Artists and Repertoire). Sheber personally selects bands she feels are appropriate for the process, and then turns to the subscribers for their input and song selection. Then, D’Agnolo meets with the band to get them ready for the recording session. Every Wednesday, The Recording Artist live streams the recoding sessions. Each lasts two hours, and the subscribers are invited to interact through the chat feature. “The bands don’t even know what song they’re recoding until they arrive at the studio,” says D’Agnolo. “It adds to the excitement, and allows the fans to be involved in the process.”

“In my business, I saw changes that made it difficult for the industry to stay alive. People were streaming instead of buying, and fans wanted constant content,” he says “At my recoding studio, I started getting more calls from people wanting to be engineers than I did from performers.” The Recording Artist ticks off all the boxes, meeting the needs of fans and artists. “It’s a lot of fun and these bands get so much out of it,” he says. “At the end of the recording session they get a fully produced song, and some of them are even featured on the show.

Frank Isaac

Yo u h a v e t o l o v e w h a t y o u d o , a n d y o u h a v e t o l o v e w h a t y o u w e a r.” —FRANK ISAAC, OWNER OF ISAAC JEWELERS

Scottsdale Lifestyle | December 2020

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUALITY MERCHANDISE ARE THE KEYSTONES OF ANY BUSINESS. In the jewelry industry, knowledgeable staff is also a critical component. This is why Frank Isaac, owner of Isaac Jewelers, personally handpicks all of his employees. He’s also on premises every day, and he enjoys interacting with

his customers. “Our standards in the store are very high,” he says. “My employees treat everyone who walks in the same, whether doing a repair for $50 or making a million dollar sale. The treatment is the same, the respect is the same, and that’s what really makes us different from everyone else.” In the same location for 17 years, Isaac has a loyal customer base and has welcomed many generations into his store. He’s sold pieces to parents, their children, and their

grandchildren. His sales staff, who are gemologists and diamontologists, have been with him, on average, for more than 10 years—Isaac says they’re like family. “I’m a hands-on owner and operator, so I make sure when you walk in, you’re walking into a family, and are treated with love and respect,” he says. “My customers have been loyal to me for 17 years, and we have a huge amount of followers. My employees know many of our customers by name.” Originally from Syria, Isaac came to the United States when he was 17. While attending Arizona State University

full-time, he also worked full-time for a jeweler in Old Town Scottsdale and learned everything he could about the business. In 1996, shortly after obtaining his B.A. in finance, he opened a small jewelry store/gift shop, which he sold a year later. “I then opened a Native American jewelry store in 1997, and had that until 2003,” he says. “All my life, I wanted to open a fine jewelry store, but didn’t have the money. But 5.

then, I sold that store and opened Isaac Jewelers in 2017. When you work hard, you can realize your dreams.” Within its 4,000 square feet, Isaac Jewelers offers a wide selection of merchandise, from bridal to fashion, at all different price points. In addition to jewelry, the store carries a large array of designer watches. And, everything at Isaac Jewelers is done in-house, including custom work and repairs—they don’t send things out. “We have things in our store that nobody has, and there are pieces from a hundred dollars to a million dollars,” Isaac says. “We have a little bit of everything. And, we use quality diamonds. You can save money on cheaper gems, but it’s not worth it if you want sparkle.” What Isaac is well known for, and what he considers his specialty, is custom jewelry.

This is all free of charge.” Once a customer approves it, the new piece is finished within a couple weeks. So far, he says, he’s done more than 10,000 pieces, and hasn’t had one person say no to his CAD design.

“Jewelry is a passion,” he says. “If you have passion for something, it’s like love. Jewelry is something people don’t need, but it’s a passion for them. You have to love what you do, and you have to love what you wear.” Isaac Jewelers is also very invested in the community.
