Alex Mucci, singer and alt model with almost 4.5 million followers on Instagram with a degree in Aerospace Engineering

Born in Pescara on January 17, 1988, her name is Alessia Mucci, known on the web as Alex Mucci or Alexis Mucci. She studied aerospace engineering and graduated in 2013, and in the meantime she never stopped to work as a Bartender to pay her studies’ expenses. Then she moved to Australia (Sydney) where she also worked as a pastry chef, until 2016, when she – after a huge disappointment of love – decided to leave Oceania and go back to her native country, Italy.

A broken heart which brought a great popularity

“I had my heart broken in Australia… So I decided to go back to my family in Italy and… well, I soon felt like a whole new person! I was finding myself and my happiness again and suddenly the social popularity fell accidentally on me. Since then I have been working mostly as an influencer, alt model and singer” says the young woman. She did not expect that she would have become one of the most followed models and influencers worldwide, having achieved a popularity that counts almost 5 million followers all over the web and its social platforms.

What’s her secret?

“I have always had a strong artistic sense. I am able to stand out always and i like to surprise people around me” and she continues “I am continuously asked how I did it. My answer is always: content, consistency and personality”. Now that Instagram is full of models and influencers, it really takes a lot of effort to emerge and Alexis, with her sexy, provocative, and always original shots, is certainly doing great so far!

Succes carries her to the music scene

Alexis soon managed to enter the Italian music market too, signing with the label of the most famous Italian rapper Jake la Furia (May 2019). She had an amazing outcome with her first two songs, F.P.F. and Foto Nuda and all her followers are waiting for her new hit, expected for the early 2022. Rumors say it will be a featuring with a very famous singer of her country.

Her motherhood shocked the web

In December 2020, Alexis posted a photo of her belly in front of the mirror and shocked the web: she let her followers know that she was pregnant. Her daughter, Asia Andrea, was born in August 2021. The young model obtained exactly what she wanted: she had already expressed the desire to become a mother in lots of her past interviews.

How she deals with her haters

Young women who create sensual contents are haters’ favorite target: it is easy to find tons of negative comments under their posts, left from those who judge their lifestyle. Alexis doesn’t let herself be taken down by hating: it doesn’t seem to upset Alexis, who believes that haters’ existence helps her to grow her popularity: “Nowadays, unfortunately, hating creates the greatest hype!” she asserts. She also constantly tries to fight the heavy stigma that has always plagued her category: her speech at TedX (June 2021) is really famous and touching.

Michelle has been a part of the journey ever since Bigtime Daily started. As a strong learner and passionate writer, she contributes her editing skills for the news agency. She also jots down intellectual pieces from categories such as science and health.

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.
