From market stalls to supermarket shelves, this exec hit the jackpot
Hayden Brass is not a born salesman. He's not loud. He's not the guy trying to make himself the centre of every room. But it was the family introvert who found himself behind the stall at a weekend market or on the local shopping strip, pitching his heart out in the hope of selling candles, soaps and essential oils. 'I did the [Royal Easter] Show in Sydney for 20 years,' recalls Brass, founder and managing director of health and wellness company Zea and who is today named one of the 2025 BOSS Young Executives.

Mother hopes inquest sheds light on son's death in Stony Mountain prison
Penny Brass was flooded with emotion when she learned an inquest had been called into the death of her son, Patrick Eaglestick, while he was incarcerated at Stony Mountain Institution. She remembers the 'happy kid' who worked hard to get his high school equivalency credentials and was popular with friends and family. 'My son liked everything, basketball, any kind of sports team, he always wanted to play. If there was a powwow, he wanted to go. If there was somebody that needed help, he'd go and help,' Brass told the Free Press. Supplied Patrick Eaglestick, 25, died by hanging while at Stony Mountain in 2020. An inquest was called into his death this week. She said it pains her to think about the brutality of his death at age 25. He died in hospital, one day after he was found hanging in his cell during a routine check on March 23, 2020. His death was ruled a suicide, and because he died while incarcerated, an inquest must be held as per the Fatality Inquiries Act. 'The hardest thing to lose is your grown child,' she said. At the time of his death, Eaglestick was serving a two-year sentence for assault with a weapon, use of an imitation firearm while committing an offence, and failing to comply with a condition under recognizance. He hanged himself two months after his sentence began. Five years later, Brass still has questions about his death. While he 'got in trouble' on the outside, resulting in his incarceration, Brass said, he was introduced to drugs while in prison during a previous five-year stint for his involvement in a robbery, without intervention from guards. She said he was introduced to gang activity while he was in Stony; Eaglestick would call her from the prison and tell her he was scared of the gang members who harassed him. She said there was no intervention from Stony employees. She hopes the inquest finds that Stony Mountain was negligent in protecting her son. 'They were supposed to keep my son alive, they failed to do that,' she said. 'I wish I had my son here with me.' On Monday, Manitoba chief medical examiner Dr. John Younes called inquests into the deaths of Eaglestick and six other men incarcerated at Stony Mountain and Headingley Correctional Centre in 2020 and 2021. Among them is William Ahmo, whose 2021 death after a standoff with jail guards was deemed a homicide; the correctional officer who led the guards in the standoff was acquitted of criminal charges in September. Another inquest will probe the death of Jesse Thomas, 36, who died from an accidental drug overdose on Nov. 19, 2021. Five of the seven inquests are in relation to hanging deaths that occurred between March and December 2020: Eaglestick, Curt Harper, 36, Melvis Owen, 38, Farron Rowan, 32, and Adrian Young, 39. Christine Latimer, the national executive director of the John Howard Society, said that number of suicides is surprising. 'To me, that's high… I track every announcement that (Correctional Services Canada) makes about a death in custody, and there's nothing like this,' she said. In the past year, one inquest into a suicide by hanging at Stony Mountain has been published. Timothy Koltusky was 34 when he was found hanging by a ligature made from garbage bags tied to an electric fixture in his cell on March 12, 2019. Supplied Patrick Eaglestick's mother says he worked hard to get his high school equivalency credentials and was popular with friends and family. Judges have recommended Stony retrofit electrical fixtures to prevent suicides as early as 2005. Koltusky's inquest report, published in January, describes his suicide as tragic but not preventable; it notes the chief medical examiner's call for an inquest 'lacks jurisdiction to make recommendations to the federal authorities responsible for the operation of penitentiaries in Canada.' Latimer said more needs to be done. 'Generally their answer to suicides is, hide the knives, right? There's nothing that looks at the circumstances which leads people to be suicidal, but they want to stop the means by which people can actually carry out the threat,' Latimer said. 'You also need to look at their mental wellbeing.' University of Winnipeg criminal justice professor Michael Weinrath was also surprised by the number. 'It's a problem when you have that many hangings, in one particular period,' he said. Weekday Mornings A quick glance at the news for the upcoming day. Stony Mountain, which was built in 1876, is the oldest correctional facility in the country. Many cells are smaller than what current standards allow, Weinrath said, but the high cost of rebuilding the prison meant they were grandfathered in. Retrofitting cells to ensure they don't have suspension points for hanging is also costly, he said. He's curious whether the number of inquests on one method of death will inspire change. 'Certainly, I think the management at Stony Mountain would come under some scrutiny, in the end,' he said. Malak AbasReporter Malak Abas is a city reporter at the Free Press.

Matriarchal villages around the world where women lead the way
I n a world largely shaped by patriarchal structures, there are still pockets of societies where women lead, not just in homes, but in culture, inheritance, and decision-making. These matriarchal or matrilineal communities challenge conventional gender roles and offer refreshing perspectives on power, identity, and family. Here's a look at six such societies around the world where women call the shots. Khasi, India In the northeastern Indian state of Meghalaya, the Khasi tribe practices a matriarchal system where inheritance flows through the female line. Property and wealth are passed down to daughters, and women play a strong role in household and community decisions. There is no societal stigma associated with divorce, and Khasi women are free to select their own mates. Women are empowered by this system in both the home and in society.

They have a system in which property is inherited through the mother's line. Women make the majority of the decisions in Mosuo households. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brass Krishna Idols For Prosperity & Protection In Life Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Mothers and maternal uncles raise their children. Relationships are referred to as "walking marriages," in which men and women are free to choose their partners and dissolve them whenever they wish, rather than the conventional idea of marriage.

Daughters are in charge of preserving traditional customs, and female shamans play important responsibilities. Women are given the cultural and practical reins because men serve the group but do not inherit property or ceremonial rights. Minangkabau, Indonesia West Sumatra's Minangkabau people are matriarchal, meaning that money and property are passed down through the female line. In this society, women are highly esteemed and frequently make important choices pertaining to family and communal issues. Men still have significant positions in the administration and in places of worship, which maintains a balance of duties between the genders. Akan, Ghana Among the Akan people of Ghana, inheritance and succession are traced through the female line. Women occupy a prominent place in the culture and are key decision-makers in family and community affairs. While men still hold many positions of power in government and religion, the influence of women in Akan society is both deep and respected. Umoja, Kenya Umoja, which means 'unity' in Swahili, is a women-only village in Kenya founded in 1990. It serves as a sanctuary for women who have survived sexual or gender-based violence. Men are not allowed to live in the village. The women of Umoja support themselves by welcoming tourists and educating others about women's rights. It's more than a safe space, it's a powerful example of women creating their own future. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
