Priya Rani is changing the world of marketing and branding from the inside out, building a body of work rooted in human power, deep vision, and language that moves. At the core of everything she does is a singular belief: that human connection is not a feature of great branding. It is the foundation of it. In a world that has reduced identity to aesthetics and strategy to tactics, Priya is building something different. She is restoring the human to the center of the brand. Her dream is not small. It is to change the conversation entirely. To create a world where leaders stop shrinking into their roles and start expanding into their identity. Where a brand is not something you hire out. It is something you grow into. Where the most powerful thing you can bring to any room, any boardroom, any stage, is simply and fully yourself. As the Founder of Social Apostrophe Inc., she has built a branding powerhouse at the intersection of identity, strategy, and the irreplaceable force of the person behind the brand. As the creator of Dream Atlas™, an editorial universe designed for inner authority, built through frameworks, language, and lived alignment, she has pioneered a new language for how leaders see themselves, speak about themselves, and show up in the world with unapologetic clarity. She serves as Director of Branding and Strategy at Carolina Women+ in Tech, bringing that same conviction to the next generation of women in leadership. A sought-after speaker on Dream You, her message is singular: who you are is the strategy.

Eva M. Gordon, LCSW, is the founder and director of Life Guide LCSW, P.C., a mental health practice providing psychotherapy and community mental health education in the New York City area. Her focus is on providing mental health treatment to the Black community as a source of healing and hope. She mainly focuses on Black professional women ages 30 and up who struggle with unhealthy relationships. The goal is to help these women recognize that self-care is their birthright and not a privilege. Ms. Gordon employs several strategies, including exploring behavioral patterns, emotional management, and understanding how multiple factors contribute to a person’s mental health throughout their lifespan.   Eva, a native of Brooklyn, NY, completed her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2000. Her professional experience began with data collection in youth drug and violence prevention research at Weill-Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. She continued her career as a case manager at Seamen’s Society for Children and Families in Brooklyn, which focused on general preventive services in the child welfare system. Eva then became a Substance Abuse Prevention counselor at the John Adams High School SPARK program and then completed her Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University School of Social Work in 2007.

As a former athlete in multiple sports, Anthony (Tony) Duran developed a long-term career which combined his passion and his expertise into a thriving business. Tony’s combined passion of Sports, Golf and Technology created a pathway to work to build a leading Marketing and Sales Firm at the age of 29 years old. Over the past three decades, Tony Duran has worked in 35 USA states and worldwide markets, building companies as a leading consultant and business adviser. Tony’s “hands on” approach to building strong marketing and sales departments, along with creative strategies to grow consumer/trade awareness and demand, has been a winning formula for growth. This approach has developed new categories in Golf and Sports, including the following companies/clients with Tony’s expertise: • Plastic Spikes: Tony’s educational strategy of convincing golf courses to ban metal golf spikes shifted the market from 90% metal spikes to over 98% plastic spikes, building Softspikes into a market leader prior to the acquisition by a larger company (PrideSports). • Hybrid Golf Clubs: Knowing the challenges of golfers hitting their long irons, Tony was an integral part of the first two hybrid golf manufacturers (Adams Golf and Perfect Club) which achieved success with golf retailers. Hybrid golf clubs are standard replacements for long irons in many golf club sets now, making the game easier for amateur golfers. Adams Golf grew into the #1 company in hybrid golf clubs prior to the acquisition by TaylorMade Golf in 2012. • Distance Measuring Devices: Tony Duran led the growth of SkyGolf / SkyCaddie as the first hand-held GPS devices in Golf. Tony personally battled the USGA to allow distance measuring devices (DMDs) to be used by amateur golfers in competition, and the Rules of Golf changed in 2006 allowing golfers to use DMDs in tournaments under a local ruling. • Robotics/ AI: The first robots used on the PGA and Champions Tours created large fairway and driving range logos created by GrassAds robotics under the guidance of Duran’s Team. In addition to logo work in the golf industry, large robotic logos were executed for NASCAR, Formula One and the Rose Bowl. • Micromobility / Single-Rider Golf Carts: Alternative transportation on and off the golf course is creating major growth of low-speed electric vehicles, and the shift to single-rider golf cart in gaining momentum in the golf course segment. Tony Duran is leading this change in Golf, in addition to transitioning communities to more eco-friendly micro-mobility solutions.   Tony resides in Huntington Beach, California with his wife of 38 years, Anna Duran.     Anthony Duran Executive Contributor CEO/Founder Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.
