Pinky Cole's Bentley Stolen Outside Of Her Sandwich Shop Grand Opening
Cole explained in the candid clip that three people allegedly pulled up to Voagies on scooters and jumped into her black Bentley before speeding off with her car.
Cole began, 'Y'all , I swear this car is not good luck. We at Voagies, and somebody just stole the car that we just got out of the shop yesterday, in front of the restaurant — while we got people standing in line, ordering food.'
Voagies is Cole's most recent business venture, a vegan hoagie restaurant.Cole panned the camera to show the street, where three scooters lay abandoned on the curb and other patrons in the background.
'And they left the scooters on the ground. If you see a Bentley in Atlanta, a black Bentley, send me a DM — the police are on their way, but somebody just stole it,' Cole shared.
She explained, 'Three guys just jumped in the Bentley and stole it while we were at the restaurant.'
Despite the damper on what would have been a positive day for the entrepreneur, Cole told fans that she wouldn't let it get her down.
'We can't catch a break, but you know what? God is still good. If you see a Bentley, send me a DM ASAP.'
As previously reported, The Atlanta business owner, who originally founded popular plant-based restaurant chain Slutty Vegan, recently opened Voagies as another chain under her belt.
Cole, 37, faced business issues with Slutty Vegan that forced her to temporarily surrender control of her company, to satisfy creditors who were unhappy with management's 'exorbitant' overhead spending.
After six weeks of reflecting, Cole was able to buy Slutty Vegan back and began the journey of launching a new joint venture with her husband, who is the current owner of Big Dave's Cheesesteaks, Derrick Hayes.
At the time, Cole stated, 'My last investors, they brought value for what they brought value to, but when you think about elevation and growth, I'm elevating and growing with a new set of folks and I'm excited about it.'
Cole added at the grand opening of Voagies in Atlanta, 'This is the first business in Slutty Vegan 2.0. This is a hoagie shop like you have never experienced before. This brand is going to scale in a way that you ain't never seen before… We will see this all over the world.'
As of today, Slutty Vegan has eight locations—five of which are in Georgia and individual spots in Alabama, Maryland, and New York.

LinkedIn launches Mini Sudoku, pushing deeper into casual games that keep users coming back
LinkedIn on Tuesday released a new game for the professional social networking app's 1.2 billion users. It's a miniature version of Sudoku, an old game with a rich history. The new Mini Sudoku is LinkedIn's sixth game. It's scaled down from the traditional 9-by-9 grid and meant to be completed in two or three minutes. "We don't want to have a puzzle on LinkedIn that takes 20 minutes to solve, right?" said Lakshman Somasundaram, a senior director of product at the Microsoft subsidiary, in an interview with CNBC. "We're not games for games' sake." The introduction has the potential to strike a nostalgic chord and spark competition with colleagues, friends and family members for how fast the puzzle can be solved. As with other puzzles in the app, Mini Sudoku gets harder as the days progress through the week. LinkedIn added games last year to increase the fun and give users something new to talk about with one another. Millions of people play LinkedIn's games every day, a spokesperson said. The most popular time is 7 a.m. ET, and Gen Z is the top demographic. Of those who play today, 86% will return tomorrow, and 82% will be playing next week, the spokesperson said. Launched in 2003 and acquired by Microsoft for $27 billion in 2016, LinkedIn remains in growth mode. Revenue increased about 9% to $4.6 billion in the latest quarter and membership reached 1.2 billion. Meta's social networks are more popular, with a combined 3.5 billion daily users and 22% revenue growth. Unlike Meta, LinkedIn gives recruiters tools for finding candidates, and job seekers can apply for openings listed on the site. LinkedIn also now promotes a personalized feed of videos, similar to Google's YouTube, TikTok and Meta's own Facebook and Instagram. LinkedIn's development of the game resulted from an encounter with Japanese publisher Nikoli, which popularized Sudoku. Somasundaram and a band of LinkedIn associate product managers visited Nikoli's Tokyo headquarters late last year and spoke through a translator about puzzles with the publisher's employees. That led to weeks of meetings involving LinkedIn, Nikoli and Thomas Snyder, a three-time World Sudoku Championship winner who has helped LinkedIn with its gaming strategy. The group hoped to make Sudoku more accessible, building several prototypes before landing on the board with six rows and six columns of squares. "It's very easy to just make a Sudoku grid," Snyder said. "It's very hard to make art in the form of Sudoku. And that's what both Nikoli and we do." Snyder is founder and CEO of Grandmaster Puzzles, a publisher of Sudoku books. With a Ph.D. in chemistry, he goes by the nickname Dr. Sudoku and has contributed to the hint feature in LinkedIn's Mini Sudoku and constructed some of the puzzles. With each day's puzzle, there will be a video showing how Snyder solves it. "I think it's got the potential to be the largest of the games, just because it's going to have a lot of brand awareness from moment one," he said. Howard Garns, an architect from Indiana, came up with a game called "Number Place" that required people to fill in a grid with numbers from one to nine. No number can be repeated in a row or column, and all nine numbers must appear just once in each of the nine 3-by-3 grids that make up the puzzle. Number Place debuted in the magazine Dell Pencil Puzzles & Word Games in 1979. It only took off after Nikoli included a spin on the puzzle in the October 1984 issue of Puzzle Communication Nikoli under the name "Suji wa dokushin ni kagiru," which means "The numbers must be single," a Nikoli spokesperson told CNBC in an email. Readers abbreviated the puzzle's name, calling it Sudoku. At first, the publisher employed both the long name and the shorter Sudoku title in Puzzle Communication Nikoli. In 1992 Nikoli started using only the Sudoku name, the spokesperson said. U.S. and European newspapers began publishing Sudoku puzzles in the mid-2000s. Sudoku joined The New York Times' NYT Games app, which boasts 10 million daily users, in 2023. More than 100 media companies have licensed Nikoli's Sudoku puzzles, the spokesperson said. "The daily puzzles will only be available on LinkedIn each day, but we are looking forward to republishing selected puzzles from those in our magazine," the spokesperson wrote.

I thought I'd save money living as a digital nomad, but managing finances on the move was unexpectedly stressful — and I was lonely.

Impact Link This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. On my first day in Kuala Lumpur, I posted the view from my apartment on my Instagram story and replied to messages from "jealous" friends. Then, I put my phone down and realized I didn't know a single person in the city. I got bit by the travel bug during a working holiday in Australia in 2017, where I started dabbling in online writing. When I got back to my home in the UK, I kept freelancing. With no office or set hours, I started to consider working abroad. I thought being a digital nomad would offer unlimited freedom and the ability to make friends in other countries. But my expectations turned out to be very different from reality. Writing from a café all day without speaking to anyone was incredibly lonely, and keeping track of my expenses on the move was mentally taxing. After spending nine months across 10 countries, I flew back to the UK in June 2019. I no longer travel as frequently, preferring to go on holidays where someone I know is either traveling with me or waiting on the other side. I find it much more fulfilling. I thought becoming a digital nomad would help me save money It can be hard to sustain a steady income as a freelancer, so I figured spending time in countries with a lower cost of living during the early stages of my writing career could be financially helpful. Most digital nomads I followed online recommended saving three to six months' worth of expenses prior to the trip for emergencies. However, in my excitement to see the world, I waited until I could cover my flight and the first few weeks' accommodation, assuming I'd figure out the rest later. Lillywhite visited 10 countries, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Canada. Courtesy of Matthew Lillywhite I made a few embassy appointments and got my documentation in order for the countries I wanted to visit. I spent time in Australia to catch up with old friends before booking a ticket to Malaysia in January 2019. Managing finances while travelling was stressful A few days after landing in Malaysia, I was already counting pennies. I wanted to enjoy being in a new country, but didn't want to empty my bank account within the first few weeks. Related stories Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know Growing up, my mum and I didn't talk much about finances. When I started earning, I wasn't well-versed in financial management. Lillywhite struggled with unexpected expenses while traveling. Courtesy of Mathew Lillywhite By the time I reached Thailand, roughly three weeks later, I was telling myself I just needed one good month to get back on track financially. But an unexpected expense, like a doctor's appointment or an overweight baggage fee, always chipped away at my current account. Some nights, I struggled to sleep, constantly wondering how I could feel so stressed with a lifestyle that enabled me to travel the world. Living abroad was isolating I tried to meet people at language learning events or at hostels, but as an introvert, it was difficult to talk to strangers. After a few weeks, I decided to keep to myself. Meanwhile, I'd scroll through photos that friends back home were posting online: birthdays, nights out, people sitting around a barbecue. Their lives looked stable, whereas mine looked like guesswork. I chose the transience of the digital nomad lifestyle, so I didn't think I could complain. But every time I moved, I had to start all over. New bus routes, new plug sockets, and, always, the loneliness crept in. I lost motivation, struggled to focus, and stopped feeling like myself. I now travel less frequently, but more intentionally I was in Istanbul when I realized I hadn't seen my mum in over six months. I sent her a message asking if we could meet somewhere in Europe. A few days later, she booked a flight to Budapest, and we stayed together in a small Airbnb. We cooked dinner and watched a movie like we used to back home. Even though we only spent a few days together, it helped me realize I didn't need to travel to feel fulfilled. Connection was more important. I stayed on the move for a bit longer, but since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I haven't gone back to long-term travel. I now live with family in Dorset. Lillywhite flew home to the UK in June 2019. Courtesy of Matthew Lillywhite I still travel occasionally and see it as a way to spend time with loved ones. A few months ago, I went to Berlin with my dad. More recently, I visited my girlfriend in Boston, spending a week exploring bookstores and counting squirrels in the park. Traveling is now less about a solo escape and more about being around people who make life worth living. I still freelance in the UK, and I've had to learn from the financial mistakes I made abroad. I try to plan, track what I spend, and check if I can actually afford something before saying yes. It sounds simple, but I've learned that simple money habits are often the most effective. When people ask me what I do, I tell them I write, and I used to be a digital nomad. "It sounds like a dream!" they often reply. Parts of the digital nomad lifestyle were. I could technically work from anywhere, and I visited more countries in a few months than I ever thought I would in a lifetime. But I also went months without hearing my name or spending time with people who really knew me. I wish someone had told me that before I left. Not just that travel can get lonely, but that one day I'd wake up, realize I hadn't had a real conversation in weeks, and think that was normal.

Why Influencers Are Courting Legacy Media
As a rookie interior designer, Bilal Rehman was able to build a public profile for himself by sharing videos of his work on TikTok — showing viewers a project reveal, or a visit to a marble warehouse. But as his follower count grew, his professional reputation became more and more linked to TikTok, rather than his CV. 'The high-end client was not really taking me seriously,' he said. So Rehman decided to hire a publicist, who eventually landed him coverage in the likes of Architectural Digest and Elle Decor. Being next to established names in the space helped elevate his professional credibility, he said — and got him new accounts. 'It shows your business in a light that allows people to take it much more seriously,' said Rehman, who now boasts a multi-million business. It may seem counterintuitive that, at a time when influencer marketing reigns supreme and the power of traditional media is a fraction of what it used to be, that a TikTokker with more than half a million followers would seek out mainstream news coverage. But as more creators seek to build lasting careers beyond online fame, many now seek out the legitimacy and prestige that comes with a mention in publications such as Vogue and The New York Times. Often, it's a win for both sides: For publishers, featuring influencers is a way to engage younger audiences who are more likely to watch a TikTok than read an article. For influencers, landing coverage in a mainstream outlet can lend them professional credibility and even grow their follower count. 'Press coverage can lead to bigger opportunities — speaking gigs, brand ambassadorships, book deals, TV appearances — it can open that door,' said Ali Wald, director of talent at influencer management firm DBA. 'It's that cross pollination on platforms that can really expand your audience.' But landing publicity isn't easy. Pitching to traditional media outlets requires a timely angle and plenty of patience — a process much slower than having a TikTok go viral. 'Everyone wants press now, but not everyone is deserving of press,' said Rachel Granger, the founder of Blue Jeans Public Relations, who represents influencer-led brands like Paige Lorenze's Dairy Boy and Bridget Bahl's The Bar. 'If you want to market yourself as an influencer, you have to think about 'What are my offerings?' You're essentially trying to build yourself as your personal brand. If there was an article that came out about you, what would you want that headline to be?' Why Influencers Need Coverage With countless creators trying to make it big on TikTok and Instagram, they're more in need than ever of ways to stand out. Nabbing a mention in a legacy publication has emerged as one of the most effective. 'There's so many creators out there. You could be the most popular person in one corner of the internet, and there's a whole swath of people who have never heard of you,' said Danielle McGrory, founder of the PR agency Communité. A mention in a major news outlet can lead to new followers outside your pre-existing base as well as potential brand partners and wholesale accounts if you're launching your own brand. It's also essential to building a profile outside of your own social platforms, where Instagram Stories disappear within 24 hours and TikTok videos get buried. A reference in Elle or Who What Wear, on the other hand, will remain a top result on Google. This will continue to be the case as people increasingly use generative AI chatbots, which are more likely to scrape websites than social media. When to Hire a Publicist If an influencer is considering hiring a publicist, they should view it as a 'strategic investment' in their business — not an ego boost, Federica Dell'Ungaro, PR director at influencer consulting firm Idalia Inc. A good first gauge is if an influencer should think about hiring a PR is if they're seeing an uptick in inbound press inquiries. Transitional moments such as when they launch a brand or publish a book also make for a natural inflection point. Influencer Kenzie Elizabeth, for example, hired Granger just ahead of the launch of her home goods and stationery label Friend of Mine, in order to reposition herself as 'more of a founder, less influencer' in the public eye, she said. Particularly considering the expense, it's simply not worth the investment unless influencers have a specific business objective in mind. Granger won't take on influencer clients unless they have a product or brand to promote beyond their content. 'A publicist's job is to create moments, but it's not to create magic,' said Maggie Sellers, a content creator and host of the podcast 'Hot Smart Rich.' 'If there's nothing going on in your business as an influencer that is going to be news to the public, then it's going to make their job really hard, and you guys are ultimately not going to have a successful relationship.' How to Make It Work Successfully garnering a mention in the press is not all that different from how publicity works for a brand or a product: it requires a definitive hook. There are thousands of creators who could be positioned as a 'style expert' or a 'beauty guru' — particularly if they don't have professional credentials to back that up. 'Not every influencer is shaking up the fashion space or taking over the world,' said Granger. 'You have to find what their niche is.' Influencers who are backed by real-world credentials — such as a dermatologist or a stylist — have an edge, but leaning on personality and life experiences, too, helps creators stand out. 'The human story is the main selling point,' said Dell'Ungaro. When pitching her client Julia Comil, for example, Dell'Ungaro honed in on her perspective as a French woman living in Los Angeles, which helped her land coverage in Hello! and LA Magazine in articles about how to adapt French style to the US and her time at couture week in Paris, respectively. Granger has been able to land several tennis-themed placements for her client Lorenze, who is dating professional tennis player Tommy Paul. Local outlets where talent's name may carry more weight can also be a natural placement. Similar to pitching a fashion or beauty client, PRs should research editors and reporters who cover influencers more frequently and then pitch accordingly. That's all the more important given the fact that coverage of influencers is still an emerging space in media. It's imperative the publicist and the influencer are on the same page. Rehman, for instance, said that an earlier publicist he worked with focused too much on pitching stories around his identity as a gay man during Pride Month, rather than zeroing in on his interior design business. 'You have to find a publicist that completely sees the vision and gets you, your brand and stands behind that,' said Elizabeth.
