Monday we kicked off our Do Good Feel Good Live Programming with #CraftNight presented by Level Realty.. Our special guest for the day was David Marder also known as @David.A.Marder.

David Marder is the owner of Level Realty and Marder Group and he shares insight on his branding style and how he got to where he is today. David Marder is originally from New York/New Jersey and his mother moved to Florida when he was young. He was back and forth from Florida to New York and graduated from community college from New York. He then eventually pursued a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Business at FAU in Boca; He was the first in his family to get a college degree. It led him to a career in Marketing where his creative side was able to shine. In the process, he learned the art of creating brands and licensing. It eventually led him into the real estate business.

David Marder then started his own business from all the experience he gathered in his lifetime called Level Realty. He talks about authenticity and how important it is to be yourself and create a personal brand targeted at a niche market. Learn more about David Marder and his journey by tuning into our IGTV!

For the second #VolunteersWithAVoice Story Hour this week, we had singer and musician, Mario! He read (and sang!) I am Simba by John Sazaklis. 

Mario is a multi-talented man, mainly known for his music career with top singles like “Let me Love You”, but he is also an actor. Mario has starred in the musical Rent, films such as Step Up and the hit TV series, Empire. He hasn’t stopped there; Mario is currently releasing music and has been throughout 2020! He brings passion and energy into all he does, which is why we loved having him on this week’s Story Hour for #VolunteersWithAVoice! 

Mario read I am SImba by John Sazaklis. Along with being from one of the greatest Disney movies, this story is one about perseverance. Against all odds, Simba is able to be strong and grow from the experiences that happened to him. It’s a great lesson to teach kids and adults alike. Make sure to watch our full IGTV story to listen to Mario read, and sing, the whole story! 

Thank you again to Mario for your continued support in #VolunteersWithAVoice!
