EA Home Design founders Ali Meshksar and Kevin Kamali build a 100k strong fanbase on Instagram during COVID-19

After growing their Instagram following to over 100k during the lockdown, EA Home Design founders Ali and Kevin skyrocketed their brand despite a severe economic downturn.
With internet use at record levels throughout the lockdown, EA Home Design was able to reach people through Instagram and social media while they stayed at home and spent more time online.
Having explored social media to enhance their brand’s visibility, Ali and Kevin decided to create a strategy to help elevate their company’s identity in the eyes of potential clients. And despite the nationwide lockdown, they were able to invest more time in developing their videos and photography so that they could build their audience and distribute high quality content.
Combining photography with in-depth videos, the founders succeeded in gaining viral growth on Instagram despite the difficult challenges that lay ahead of them. With a consistent approach to their posting, they were able to take EA Home Design to new audiences interested in a variety of topics associated with home decoration and design.
From the latest modular kitchen design to spice racks, EA Home Design provides a range of services, and creates high value content that engages homeowners to give them a deeper insight into how they work. This in turn has helped them forge stronger relationships with potential new clients – who have helped spread the word about their designs to even larger audiences.
When discussing the growth of their account, Ali Meshksar said that connecting with the Instagram community had been a game-changer for the business in that for the first time, they had people talking about them without having to go to market in the traditional way such as sending fliers and doing direct mailings.
Because of social media, companies now have access to audiences instantly, and with people statistically spending more time online, there’s never been a bigger opportunity than now to build an online community.

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.
Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.
He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”
Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.
While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.
He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.
While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.
There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.
Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
