For those of you reading this article and, for the first time connecting with me, John Allen Mollenhauer, also known as Lifestyle Coach JAM, I work primarily with men who want to overcome chronic exhaustion, fatigue, and burnout at mid-life without compromising success, and ultimately accelerating it.

The Berkeley College Foundation recently celebrated the opening of a Food Pantry at Berkeley College’s Woodland Park campus. The student resource – the third pantry at a Berkeley College campus – ensures students have access to proper nourishment without sacrificing their education.
“Food insecurity is a problem (for many college students),” said Diane Recinos, president of Berkeley College. “Our students are working hard in the classroom, at their internships and at their jobs but hunger can make it hard to focus and hard to be successful.”
The Community FoodBank of New Jersey estimates that 140,000 college students experience food insecurity across New Jersey.

In what appears to be the first-ever deal of its kind executed in the legal profession, the law firm Porzio, Bromberg & Newman has sold its compliance technology-focused subsidiary business, Porzio Life Sciences, to a portfolio company owned by private equity firms. RLDatix, a leading global provider of healthcare governance, risk and compliance software solutions and services, will buy Porzio Life Sciences in a deal announced this month.
Porzio will continue to maintain a strategic relationship with Porzio Life Sciences after the transaction closes. The two entities will continue to co-market their respective compliance services and the law firm will continue to offer legal services through its team of life sciences regulatory attorneys based in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Porzio’s lawyers will work closely with Porzio Life Sciences, in which several of the firm's life sciences lawyers will maintain dual employment arrangements with the law firm and the newly spun-off entity.
