Founded by two brothers and inspired by an auto accident—meet Getting your tires replaced, rotated or repaired can be a real hassle. Especially if it’s on the side of the road. The average time spent in a tire shop is a minimum of three hours. Time you never gain back. If you own an electric vehicle, you’re likely to spend even more time there as the increased weight and torque of EV’s results in 30-percent faster tire wear, leading to more frequent tire replacement. Unfortunately, the tire replacement experience has remained unchanged over the decades, leading to consumer demand for a more convenient and affordable alternative. Zohr has answered the call with a mobile tire service that makes tire replacement as easy as pushing a button. With Zohr, consumers simply choose their tires and book an appointment online. Zohr does the rest, coming out to the client’s home or office to deliver and install the new tires. Zohr offers its level of service at the same price as going to a traditional tire shop.

In 2017 husband and wife team Kathryn Fantauzzia and Dr. David Rabin and together we set out to accelerate the development and translation of novel neuroscience discoveries to address public health needs and improve outcomes. Recently the World Health Organization officially recognized burnout as a medical syndrome. This designation is a milestone calling out for the world to combat the collective global crisis of work-related stress. When left unchecked, chronic daily stress overwhelms the body and mind, burning us out by making it hard to sleep, focus at work, and feel engaged. This leaves us exhausted, depleted, increasingly “checked out” and feeling ineffective, no matter how hard or long we work. Most worrisome, burnout can lead to serious negative health consequences. The economic consequences of burnout for business are palpable, with studies showing the following figures: ● Two-third of the full-time American workforce suffers from burnout ● On average, workers lose 11.3 days in lost productivit
