Movie Unstoppable is on now Amazon Unstoppable, The DiJulius Group

I am excited to share that Unstoppable has just come out on Amazon. This is an incredible story, and my son Johnni DiJulius has a leading role in the wrestling movie as the arch nemesis. And wait for it…I appear in the movie as well.

Unstoppable is about the remarkable true story of Anthony Robles, born without a right leg and raised by his single mother, Judy Robles (Jennifer Lopez). Despite societal prejudice and physical challenges, Anthony develops a resilient spirit. Anthony ends up wrestling for the NCAA Championship against Iowa’s Matt McDonough (Johnni DiJulius). The film was produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Unstoppable is available to stream on Amazon.

Airlines are now using Apple AirTags to help track lost luggage

A few years ago, my fiancé Claudia and I were traveling on United Airlines. After boarding a connecting flight, Claudia realized she left her laptop on the first flight. She spent the next few days being told by United that they did not find her laptop. She then went on Apple’s Find My app to try to locate her laptop. The app said it was sitting at the O’hare airport. She then flew to Chicago and showed the United representative exactly where to find it and they did.

Today, Apple AirTags are part of the airline’s luggage recovery. United Airlines and Air Canada have become the first partners to integrate Apple’s new “Find My Share Item Location” feature. This functionality enables travelers carrying an AirTag or any Find My network-connected device to use the Apple Find My app to share the location of lost or delayed luggage directly with the airline’s customer service system. Customers can then provide the shared location link to airline representatives, streamlining the process of locating and retrieving missing bags.

Pope calls out nuns with RBF

Even the Pope is tired of the customer service recession. The head of the Catholic church told a group of nuns to be nicer, stop gossiping, and to smile more. “Sometimes in my life I have met nuns with a vinegar face and that’s not friendly,” the Pope said. “That’s not something that helps to attract people. Vinegar is nasty and nuns with a vinegar face, let’s not even talk about it.”
