  • Kerns Dynamics Launches to Bridge the Critical Gap Between Vision and Execution for Growing Businesses

    Kerns Dynamics Launches to Bridge the Critical Gap Between Vision and Execution for Growing Businesses

    HOUSTON, TX – November 17, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Kitric Kerns, a seasoned product strategy and digital innovation leader with a track record at global brands, today announced the launch of Kerns Dynamics, a specialized advisory practice. The firm is purpose-built to empower growing companies, startups, and innovation-minded small businesses that consistently struggle to translate ambitious ideas into successful, market-ready products.

    The journey from a great concept to a profitable product is often fraught with peril. Many emerging companies possess a powerful vision but lack the practical, hands-on product leadership necessary to achieve effective execution. They grapple with common, yet critical, roadblocks: establishing undeniable product-market fit, defining a practical go-to-market strategy, and orchestrating complex cross-functional teams, especially those utilizing outsourced or distributed talent. Kerns Dynamics was specifically created to eliminate this execution deficit.

    Kitric Kerns

    “The greatest pitfall for emerging products is overlooking product strategy fundamentals at the most critical point: the design and build stage,” said Kitric Kerns, Founder and Principal of Kerns Dynamics. “Product-market fit—both at launch and for sustained relevance—is not a happy accident; it must be intentionally planned, validated, and managed. I partner with founders and product leaders to establish essential clarity early on and ensure continuous alignment as their products evolve. This proactive approach ensures that their valuable investments have a real, sustained shot at market success.”

    Kerns Dynamics distinguishes itself by moving beyond theoretical consulting reports that often end up shelved. Instead, the firm embeds itself as a hands-on partner, providing fractional product leadership and strategic advisory services that directly align product roadmaps with core business objectives. The core service pillars address the most common points of failure for scaling businesses:

    Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy & Planning: Developing realistic, achievable launch and growth strategies that are meticulously matched to a company’s existing resources, budget, and ambitious growth goals.
    Product/Market Fit Acceleration: Implementing data-driven frameworks to help teams rapidly validate core assumptions, integrate customer feedback, and iterate faster to find a sustainable market foothold.
    Product Optimization & Maturity: Providing comprehensive assessment of existing products already in the market, identifying quantifiable and clear ways to immediately improve key metrics such as conversions, user engagement, and long-term retention.
    Cross-Functional Orchestration: Serving as the connective tissue between strategy and execution. This is particularly vital for companies utilizing a mix of onshore, nearshore, and offshore teams, ensuring seamless communication and highly efficient product delivery.

    Kitric Kerns brings a wealth of experience from leading significant digital transformation and product innovation efforts for some of the world’s most recognizable organizations, including The Recording Academy (The GRAMMYs), CNN, Disney, and ExxonMobil. His decision to launch Kerns Dynamics stems from a desire to democratize these enterprise-level product principles, making them accessible and actionable for emerging companies and innovation-minded leaders operating at a practical scale.

    “I have personally observed too many talented teams and promising products stall because they attempt to tackle everything simultaneously,” Kerns added. “My singular goal at Kerns Dynamics is to bring laser-sharp focus—focus on the ideal customer, focus on the most impactful execution steps, and focus solely on what is truly needed to drive the business forward and achieve measurable results. This is about building products right, from the ground up.”

    Kerns Dynamics is now accepting new clients seeking to transform their vision into demonstrable market success through focused strategy and expert execution.

    The transition brings together Phillips’ 50 years of HVAC industry expertise with Schmitt’s 15 years of heating and cooling experience, including previous roles as Sales Manager and General Manager for a major Western New York-based HVAC company. Schmitt relocated to Kingsport from Buffalo, New York, in 2022 with his wife Crystal and their nine children, drawn to the region’s natural beauty and community atmosphere.

    “This transition ensures that our customers continue to receive the exceptional service they have come to expect while benefiting from expanded capabilities and resources,” added Schmitt. “We are particularly focused on energy-efficient solutions that help homeowners and businesses reduce their environmental impact while managing energy costs.”

    The leadership team includes Jason Phillips as Operations Manager, Lane as Office Manager, Brian as Warehouse Manager, and specialized technicians leading installation and service divisions. This organizational structure enables ATC to handle multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality standards across all service categories.

    ATC Cooling & Heating traces its roots to founder Bud Phillips, whose diverse background includes not only HVAC contracting but also experience as a musician, drag car racer, and private pilot.

  • Author J. Len Sciuto Returns With His Gripping New Military Thriller – Hades’ Crypt

    Author J. Len Sciuto Returns With His Gripping New Military Thriller – Hades’ Crypt

    Arctic Chaos. Underwater Secrets. A Race Against Time.

    JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / In his third pulse-pounding novel, Hades’ Crypt, retired military officer, nuclear chemist, submarine sailor, and author, J. Len Sciuto, plunges readers into the icy heart of a global power struggle in the rapidly melting Arctic Circle.

    Hades' Crypt
    Hades’ Crypt
    front 3D cover – hardback

    As the polar ice cap recedes, long-buried secrets-and unimaginable stakes-emerge. Nations scramble to claim the newly exposed territory, rich in untouched natural resources. At the center of the chaos is Russia’s unprecedented and undetected underwater submarine base, a game-changing installation that allows stealth operations like never before. Hidden beneath the waves, it signals a bold and dangerous new era in military strategy and upper handedness.

    But when a Russian and an American submarine collide under the polar ice, everything changes. The Russian sub is crippled and subsequently entombed beneath shifting walls of ice. As time runs out and lives hang in the balance, former adversaries agree to join forces for a daring international rescue. The senior on-scene Russian commanding officer names the deadly underwater trap Hades’ Crypt-and it may become a tomb for everyone involved.

    As the mission unfolds, American forces make a chilling discovery: the underwater base is not just a marvel of engineering-it’s a strategic foothold for Arctic domination. The U.S. must now confront a terrifying possibility. Is this rescue mission just the beginning of a much larger confrontation leading to war?

    Drawing from his 36-year career in the U.S. Navy Submarine Force and U.S. Coast Guard, Sciuto delivers unmatched authenticity and adrenaline-fueled storytelling. A former Chief Quartermaster (QMCSS) and Lieutenant Commander (LCDR), he writes with the authority of someone who’s lived the tension, the camaraderie, and the life-or-death stakes on and beneath the sea.

    However, Sciuto’s mission doesn’t end with the last page. “I’ve never forgotten the challenges my family and I faced when I was a junior enlisted submarine sailor. I decided to write books to help those patriotic men and women who are walking that dangerous path right now.”

    True to his word, two-thirds of the royalties from Hades’ Crypt, along with his previous thrillers-Tango Down: China Sea and The Devil’s Delegation-go directly to support E1 to E4 Mutual Assistance Funds for both the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard.

    With riveting action, chilling realism, and a powerful purpose, Hades’ Crypt cements J. Len Sciuto as a force in the world of military thrillers. The battle for the Arctic has begun-are you ready to dive in?

    The e-book is available for the special promotional price of $0.99 through Amazon until November 21, 2025. At that time, the price will increase to $4.99.

    DOGTV and Washington Commanders’ Jacob Martin Encourage Families to Foster a Pet This Holiday Season

    Phoenix, AZ November 17, 2025 –(PR.com)– DOGTV, the global leader in dog-centric programming, today announced the launch of its new holiday PSA starring Jake Martin, linebacker for the Washington Commanders and passionate rescue advocate. This year’s message is simple, urgent, and filled with heart: Foster a pet this holiday season, because love does not cost a thing.

    With shelters nationwide facing seasonal overcrowding and staffing challenges, DOGTV’s PSA aims to rally families to open their homes temporarily to pets in need. Fostering even for a short period can ease pressure on shelters, save lives, and give dogs the warmth, stability, and companionship they deserve during the holidays.
    “Fostering truly changes everything for a shelter pet,” said Beke Lubeach, CEO of DOGTV Networks. “It provides comfort, healing, and a chance to thrive. Jake Martin’s authentic passion for rescue shines through in this PSA, and we hope his voice inspires thousands to step forward this holiday season.”

    In the PSA, Martin shares why fostering is so close to his heart and reminds viewers that the gift of love costs nothing, but means everything. His message underscores how fostering benefits both pets and people, creating joyful, meaningful connections at a time of year when compassion matters most.

    DOGTV will air the PSA across its national platforms—including the DOGTV app, the Unleashed by DOGTV FAST Channel, and social media—throughout the holiday season.

    The network is also offering customizable versions of the PSA for shelters and rescue partners, spotlighting local organizations and encouraging community members to get involved.
