How Nara Ford went from a tiny beach town to a widely renowned model and businesswoman living her dream life in Las Vegas

Everyone knows that the modeling industry is one of the toughest to break into. Social media is saturated with would-be models and influencers. So how did a small-town girl from Washington become a (practically) overnight success in such a dog-eat-dog business? Read on to get acquainted with Nara Ford, a tough ex-airman in the U.S. Airforce, who was discovered by being labeled a “Military Hottie” while on active duty in Mississippi.

Behind every beautiful aspiring model, there are hundreds in line hoping to be discovered. Nara Ford realized this truth early on when she began gaining traction in the world of modeling after being featured on several platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and The Chive, for her incredible figure. Nara got a taste of success after her first paid gig (to the tune of $5,000) and was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug. Rather than resting on her laurels, as they say, Nara developed a sharp business plan that has helped her become not only a successful model but a keen businesswoman who helps others, hoping to realize their dreams.

Nara was born and raised in the little beach town of Ocean Shores, Washington. After being led to serve her country, Nara enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. When she realized modeling was a real possibility for a future career, she got serious about learning all she could about the industry. When the Air Force moved her to Las Vegas, she looked at it as a golden opportunity to stretch her legs as a bonafide model, but that is not all. As the modeling took shape, not everyone was thrilled. There was controversy over racy photographs published while an active-duty airman, a blip that did not deter the ambitious Nara. She continued to build her modeling portfolio, being featured in domestic and international magazine publications. More than a pretty face, Nara began constructing a business plan not only to get ahead but bring others along with her.

Nara hosts networking events to brand herself but is also eager to share the knowledge she has amassed in the industry. She hosts engagement groups and has created a unique formula to help new influencers earn six figures annually, as she does. Nara is now within the top 1% of a pool of over 450,000 content creators and strives to help other women do the same. Nara is assembling a team of the hottest up-and-coming girls from small towns who also strive for unique branding and social media success. The idea was born when Nara recognized that many other women share the same ambition as her. As a result, she created ways to help women learn the art of embracing their bodies, not becoming fixated on what others think, and reaching their career goals, however big or small.   

Nara is building an empire more than a career. Her brand encompasses not only modeling but running a lucrative website for four years before Only Fans. Nara participates in live streaming, PPV, and messaging, rarely turning down a fan’s request, not even the “off” ones she sometimes receives. She has grown her business while narrowing in on her clientele’s specific needs, perfecting her marketing skills, and monetizing her Instagram following, resulting in over $500,000 in her first year!

Setbacks are common, but thankfully, Nara says, she has not encountered many of them so far in her journey. “One of the keys is to not worry too much about things I cannot control. I focus on myself, try to be the best I can be, and remember that it’s all about the fans.” Nara says she makes it a point to measure herself by her past achievements. To stay focused, healthy, and ready for the demands of her schedule, Nara meditates, works out, and maintains a positive attitude. Self-love and respect are critical keys to her success.   

Most entrepreneurs understand the importance of diversifying one’s income streams. Nara is no different. She has found ways to do this every chance she gets. After purchasing and renovating her Las Vegas dream home, Nara rents part of the space for other creators to shoot their content. It is not only a way to earn extra money but also add value to her clients. Fans can expect a lot more from Nara in the future. With tireless energy and willingness to learn and produce exciting content, this model-turned-mogul is quickly making a name for herself. “There is plenty more to come! I am always trying to figure out what my fans want and make that happen in new and entertaining ways.”

New App Crossed Helps College Students Forge Real Connections Beyond the Screen

Gen Z is breaking up with dating apps, and for good reason. Many of these platforms just grab your eyeballs and hold on to them until you feel drained, rather than help you do what you logged on to do — find new friends, professional contacts, and exciting people to date. That’s why more and more college students are declining to join them.

However, technology doesn’t necessarily have to be a problem — at least, not if it’s approached correctly.

Due to one new app’s uncanny ability to help college students grow their social circles in real life, it’s fast becoming the most popular new social networking platform on campus. Called Crossed, the app bridges the online and real worlds, taking advantage of technology’s strengths while shedding its weaknesses. 

By leveraging sophisticated geolocation technology in a whole new way, Crossed introduces people who have literally crossed each others’ paths. As a result, they can make new friends and connections without even trying.

Crossed can be used to find friends, professional contacts, and dates

While Crossed can be used as a dating app, that’s only part of what it offers. Users can choose to participate in any or all of its three modes: Dating, Friendship, and Business, which is dedicated to professional networking.

Each mode is entirely distinct from the others, which means users’ profiles are never shared with anyone who isn’t interested in the same kind of connection as themselves. Gone are the days of disappointing other people because you reached out to them on a dating app as a possible friend or business contact, not a romantic interest.

College students have been finding numerous ways to use all three modes. The Business mode helps them meet other students in their courses and find study partners, while the Friendship mode connects them to other students who want to do fun activities or hang out together, and the Dating mode helps them find prospects to talk to and possibly ignite a relationship with.

Crossed does all this without any annoying swiping.

Crossed introduces you to those whose paths you’ve just crossed

Crossed’s innovative approach doesn’t require you to make snap judgments about hundreds of people based on their profile pictures. Instead, it uses cutting-edge geolocation technology to serve as your ultimate best friend, paying close attention to what you like to do and where you tend to go. Then, it scans the environment, searching for other members of the Crossed community who have similar habits. It only alerts you to the existence of other users whose paths have literally crossed your own.

“Say you love sailing or rowing,” says Conor Crighton, co-founder and COO of Crossed. “Crossed can introduce you to other people who go to the boathouse. If you like to study in the art history library, then it can introduce you to other students who do the same thing. Maybe you’re a big coffee connoisseur — Crossed can introduce you to other people who hang out at the same coffee shop.”

“If you went to a party but didn’t have the nerve to talk to someone, Crossed can come to your rescue, pointing out that you were both in the same place the night before,” says Manny Manzel, co-founder and CEO of Crossed. “That’s a much easier way to start a conversation. Plus, you won’t have to scream at each other over loud music.”

While other social networking apps require lots of time and effort, Crossed works in the background while you do other things. “The app multitasks on your behalf,” Manzel explains. “It constantly works to find new contacts for you so that you don’t have to. It also introduces you to people so you don’t have to walk up to them for no apparent reason and go through the awkwardness of introducing yourself cold.”

Crossed also takes security seriously. All communication on the platform is encrypted to the highest standards, and its “Safe Mode” feature allows users to choose which potential matches can view their profiles. Additionally, once Crossed’s “Safe Mode” is activated, you will not appear to other users around you unless you are both at a safe distance apart to further protect your personal safety and avoid unwanted matches.

Fill your college experience with fun

No one should spend their precious college years holed up in their dorm room, staring at a screen and feeling lonely. With Crossed, no one needs to anymore. 

Crossed helps college students get out of their dorm rooms, make friends, and find those special people who are interested in the same things as themselves. In this way, Crossed puts technology in service of the real world, rather than vice versa.

Meet the people who will be your college friends for the rest of your life. Meet your future roommates and business partners. Meet the love of your life. Join Crossed today!
