Randeep Hooda Says He Has 'Become Calmer' After Marrying Lin Laishram
Randeep Hooda said his wife helped him become more open, grounded and at peace. Randeep Hooda is undergoing a personal transformation, which he attributes to his marriage to actress Lin Laishram in November 2023. The actor shared that getting married has changed his perspective on life, both personally and professionally. He reflected on this change, saying, 'I'm no longer the island I used to be. I can still be that island, but now there's always a bridge back to the mainland through Lin." According to Randeep, his wife has helped him become more open, grounded, and at peace. 'I've become calmer, more open to new experiences and more sociable. There have been great changes in my life, and I'm incredibly grateful to her," he told The Times of India. Interestingly, Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram's bond goes back years before their wedding. The couple first met while working with veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah's renowned theatre group, Motley. Randeep, being Lin's senior, developed a professional camaraderie with her, which eventually blossomed into a deep personal connection. Talking about Lin's influence, Randeep credited her for introducing a more mindful and health-conscious routine into his life. 'She's a spiritual person, and her calming influence has brought a lot of peace into my life. She's introduced me to a positive routine with fewer late nights, and it's definitely been beneficial," he added. On the work front, Randeep recently played the antagonist in Jaat, starring Sunny Deol. However, his most significant recent professional milestone came with his directorial debut, Swatantra Veer Savarkar, where he not only directed but also portrayed the title role and co-wrote and produced the film. The experience gave him a fresh perspective on filmmaking. 'After directing a film myself, I have a newfound respect for my directors. I've always respected them, but stepping into their shoes gave me a deeper understanding of the endless list of issues they have to manage," Randeep explained. Although acting remains Randeep Hooda's first love, he admitted to missing the intensity and control that come with directing. Looking ahead, he's keeping busy by writing two new projects: one is an international film and the other is a high-octane action movie. First Published:

United Way of Southwest Georgia President & CEO Shaunae Motley steps down
ALBANY – After six years of service, Shaunae Motley announced she will step down as president/CEO of United Way of Southwest Georgia. Motley took on the role in 2019, thus beginning six years of guiding the most vulnerable in southwest Georgia through some of their toughest challenges and greatest successes. Motley expanded the organization's reach and deepened its impact across the region. Under her leadership, UWSWGA has strengthened its investment in rural communities, forged critical partnerships, and mobilized resources to tackle some of southwest Georgia's most pressing challenges. 'Serving as president and CEO of United Way of Southwest Georgia has been one of the greatest honors of my career,' Motley said. 'This work has been both strategic and heart-driven — guided by a deep love for community and a commitment to creating lasting change.' Motley's tenure has been defined by a commitment to equity, innovation and collaboration. She played a pivotal role in securing transformative funding to support regional recovery efforts and capacity-building initiatives, ensuring local nonprofits and community programs have the resources to thrive. During her tenure, Motley spearheaded numerous milestones in COVID-19 response, financial growth and stability, organizational visibility, and addressing mental health and violence among youths and schools. Under Motley's leadership, the UWSWGA's role was emphasized as more than just a grantmaker. It was centered as a key connector for the community and a catalyst for change. She expanded the area United Way's annual budget to $1.3 million, doubling revenue and securing more than $3 million in grants to support regional programs. Her efforts reversed a near six-year decline. She also increased the UWSWGA's staff and brought on interns and volunteers to help expand programming. Motley led the United Way of Southwest Georgia's crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic, raising $800k in relief funding to support regional families, businesses and nonprofits. She established the Youth United Teen Mental Health Coalition as part of Resilient Southwest Georgia's trauma-informed practices in building up southwest Georgia communities. Youth United is made up of teens, hosting events and working together to improve the health and well-being of the community by addressing adverse childhood experiences. Motley launched local school districts' participation in the nationally recognized Sandy Hook Promise initiative to prevent school violence and promote positive school climates. Motley's impact extends statewide through her board service with the Georgia Foundation for Public Education and the Georgia Grantmakers Alliance, where she has advocated for bridging the resource gap between metro Atlanta and rural Georgia. She also serves on local boards including: 4C Academy Foundation, Randolph County Family Connection (former Board Chair), and Flint River Fresh. Her contributions have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award (2023) and the Trailblazer in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award from United Way Southeast Region (2022). She has also been honored as a national American Express NGen Fellow (2019) and Zell Miller Leadership Institute participant (2019). In 2023, she led the UWSWGA to being recognized as Nonprofit of the Year by the Albany Area Chamber. 'Shaunae's leadership has left an indelible mark on United Way of Southwest Georgia,' Mark Johnson, the chair of United Way's Board of Directors and Business Development Officer at Georgia's Own Credit Union, said. 'Her passion, vision, and unwavering dedication have strengthened our organization and positioned us for continued impact. While we are sad to see her go, we celebrate all she has accomplished and wish her the best in her next chapter.'

Yeti's Hidden Strengths: A Closer Look
Yeti (NYSE: YETI) has established itself as a premium brand in the outdoor recreation and lifestyle products industry. Let's take a closer look at how this cooler and drinkware maker stacks up according to Motley Fool's AI-powered Moneyball analysis. The Motley Fool's Moneyball database leverages artificial intelligence to evaluate companies across multiple dimensions, providing investors with comprehensive, data-driven insights to inform investing research and decision-making. Motley Fool Moneyball is a proprietary system that combines AI analysis with expert human oversight to generate scores that reflect a company's strength across key performance metrics, from financial health to technological capabilities. The higher the score, the better a company is inside that category relative to the universe of stocks in the Moneyball database. The Superscore represents the unification of all Moneyball scores into a single score for public companies. Yeti's Superscore of 72/100 is a strong overall score. The standout metric is its Financial score of 91/100, indicating exceptional financial health. Yeti's Moneyball Scorecard: Superscore: 72/100 Financial: 91/100 Technology: 51/100 Product: 76/100 Leadership: 62/100 GARP: 87/100 Surge: 41/100 ROUNTA: 36% AI Implementation: 27/100 Return on unleveraged net tangible assets (ROUNTA) is a metric Warren Buffett favors for measuring efficiency in generating returns from physical assets. Yeti's ROUNTA of 36% demonstrates solid operational efficiency -- and helps explain why the company has such a high Financial score. Yeti's Product score of 76/100 reflects its strong market position, while the weaker Tech and AI scores could suggest the company is at risk of falling behind technologically. Yeti's high GARP (growth at a reasonable price) score of 87/100 indicates the stock may be attractively valued given its performance and growth prospects. I tend to agree as I look at Yeti's numbers. The stock trades at a free cash flow yield of 5.2% and 18 times trailing earnings, both reasonable numbers bolstered by Yeti's continued revenue growth, a healthy balance sheet with $280 million in net cash, and strong margins on the top and bottom lines. Yeti's strong financial metrics and product scores paint a picture of a well-run company with solid market positioning, with an attractive GARP score suggesting compelling risk-reward prospects. However, lower technology and AI scores indicate the company's tech and automation capabilities will be key areas to watch to ensure it maintains its competitive edge.
