Podcasts about cloud hosting

“We think we bring a differentiated choice that allows service providers, MSPs, and others to customize something that really works best for the DNA of their business,” says Jon Brinton of Crexendo. Recorded live at ITEXPO 2025, this podcast features Jon Brinton, Chief Revenue Officer of Crexendo, as he discusses the company's innovative approach to unified communications, AI-driven tools, and a flexible licensing model that empowers service providers. As Crexendo approaches 6 million users, Brinton shares how MSPs can leverage the NetSapiens platform for scalability, innovation, and profitability. A Commitment to Innovation and AI Crexendo's presence at ITEXPO highlights its continued investment in AI and innovation. Many service providers are stuck with outdated, end-of-life technology that lacks innovation. Crexendo's open APIs and AI-driven tools allow partners to integrate new solutions that stay competitive. The broader NetSapiens ecosystem helps service providers deliver what business customers demand. “We leverage our open APIs, a broad ecosystem of partners, and AI tools to ensure our platform remains innovative and competitive,” says Brinton. The NetSapiens Model: More Flexibility, Higher Margins Crexendo's rapid growth is driven by key differentiators that set it apart from other UCaaS and CPaaS platforms: Sessions, Not Seats Model – Partners license the NetSapiens platform based on sessions or usage, rather than traditional per-user pricing. Higher Margins – The flexibility of sessions-based licensing allows partners to maximize profitability. Own or Subscribe – Service providers can choose to purchase the technology outright or subscribe based on their financial strategy. “We don't want our commercial construct to limit service providers. Whether they prefer to own and depreciate or subscribe, the technology works the same either way,” says Brinton. Control Over Hosting and Branding Crexendo offers service providers full control over their deployment strategy. Self-Hosting Option – For providers who want full control of their infrastructure, Crexendo supports on-premise deployments. Cloud Hosting with Oracle – For those who prefer a managed solution, Crexendo offers global hosting through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. White-Label Solution – Service providers fully control branding, allowing them to market the platform as their own. A Strong Message for MSPs and the Channel Crexendo invites MSPs, service providers, and enterprises to explore the NetSapiens platform. MSPs looking for UCaaS, CCaaS, CPaaS, or AI-powered solutions should consider Crexendo for its flexibility and scalability. The company's ability to adapt to a provider's unique business DNA is fueling its continued growth at twice the market rate. “Whatever you're doing in UCaaS, CCaaS, CPaaS, or AI-driven business communications, stop by and see us at ITEXPO. We bring a unique, differentiated choice to the marketplace,” says Brinton.

Avram shares his recent work on testing and reviewing web hosting services for Tom's Hardware. He highlights the various types of web hosting available, including shared hosting, VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, and cloud hosting. Avram explains the pros and cons of each type, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right hosting plan based on your needs.Choose a separate domain registrar wiselyWhen it comes to setting up a website, one of the most important decisions you will make is choosing a domain registrar. A domain registrar is a company that allows you to register and manage your domain name. While many web hosting services offer the option to register a domain through them, it is often recommended to choose a separate domain registrar wisely.One of the main reasons for this is the potential hassle of transferring your domain if you decide to switch hosting providers in the future. If your domain is tied to your hosting service, it can make the process of moving your website to a new host more complicated and time-consuming. This is because some hosting providers may make it difficult for you to transfer your domain away from them, especially if they offered you a free or discounted domain as part of your hosting package.By choosing a separate domain registrar, you have more control over your domain and can easily transfer it to a new hosting provider if needed. Popular domain registrars like Namecheap and GoDaddy offer competitive pricing and user-friendly interfaces for managing your domain. These registrars also typically offer additional services such as domain privacy protection and email hosting.Another important factor to consider when choosing a domain registrar is the renewal pricing. Some registrars may offer a low introductory price for the first year of registration, but then significantly increase the price for renewals. By choosing a reputable registrar with transparent pricing policies, you can avoid any unexpected price hikes when it comes time to renew your domain.Choose VPS for flexibility & controlWhen it comes to choosing a hosting plan for your website, the podcast highlights the importance of selecting the right option based on your specific needs. Shared hosting may be suitable for simple websites with minimal traffic, but it has limitations in terms of control and flexibility. On the other hand, VPS hosting offers a higher level of control over your server, allowing you to reboot the server, install software, upgrade the OS, and run various scripts with ease.VPS hosting, which stands for virtual private server, provides a virtual full server experience while sharing a physical server with other users. This means that you have more control and flexibility compared to shared hosting plans. With VPS hosting, you can customize your server to meet your specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance for your website.Cloud hosting provides speedCloud web hosting utilizes a network of virtual and physical servers to host websites, offering a significant advantage over traditional single-server hosting. This network of servers pools computing resources, providing greater scalability and flexibility, which enables quick changes and high uptime for your website.One of the key benefits of cloud hosting is its resilience. If any server in the network experiences issues, your site will remain operational, and its performance will not be affected. This is particularly beneficial for businesses and organizations that require high availability and reliability. Moreover, cloud hosting services provide broad platform support, including various CMS options like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and more. They also offer flexible pricing models, ensuring you are charged only for the resources you use.While cloud hosting can offer speed and performance benefits, it may have limitations in terms of control and flexibility compared to VPS hosting. Cloud hosting allocates resources efficiently to serve traffic quickly, making it a suitable option for websites with high traffic volumes.ConclusionThe most important thing to remember when trying to choose a host and a hosting style is that your needs will determine your choice. For some, bandwidth is an important factor. For others, the most important thing is scalability and speed. For other users, configuration is essential. But, in the end, choose the hosting style that is most useful for your needs.

Welcome to another in the Business Bootcamp series where we relearn everything we know about building WP sites and running a web design business from start to finish. Today we're talking about the way that hosting has changed over the years. In much the same way that you look at a website from 1999 and wonder how that was ever allowed to exist, the same is true for the technology stack that is hosting our WordPress websites. Perhaps, back in the day, you ran servers of your own in your office or house. You then likely moved to something like shared hosting and a VPS. Now we've got managed WordPress hosting companies and cloud services which allow to spin up servers in an instant with just the resources we need. Add to that the interest in headless WordPress, and well, we've got a show on our hands and plenty to talk about.

We are all aware that cloud hosting services are ideal for established or larger organizations. What about small organizations or for personal use? Would it make sense to use a cloud provider or a hosting service? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/level99/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/level99/support

Voxpop Games Design Mark Anthony Rodriquez and Charles Yu CEO and founder Game developers and distributors VoxPop Games is a profit sharing games distribution platform focused on independent games. In the United States gaming platforms continue to grow consistently during the Covid pandemic and accelerated in 2021reaching $33.9 billion annually. Of that, $33.9 billion dollars, a little over $3.4 billion is independent games. That is comparatively small compared to the larger market. We talk about disruption a lot. How do we plan to disrupt? Using a method that will revolutionize the market. VoxPop uses a revenue sharing business model. Any game that is sold on the VoxPop platform, the developer gets a percentage share of that revenue. If my percentage share is set at 5% we offer 20% to specific users. What this model does is engage influencers. If an independent gamer has a killer idea, you have a great game already built but what you don't have is the money to buy marketing to help that game get sold. Advertising can be as much as two thirds of a triple A games budget. An example is Call of Duty with a $255 million budget, over $210 million of which was for advertising and only advertising. If you are an Indy Dev, you don't necessarily have the money to engage in a traditional advertising campaign. What you want is to engage influencers. Independent gamers live and die on streamers and ledge players. Among Us is a game that went so viral, 85 million downloads, that game came out 3 years ago but it was a complete flop. It was only during the pandemic when streamers picked it up at random that it created a cascading effect. One streamer picked it up then a group of streamers picked it up and all of their viewers got on board as well. You might wonder what was stopping developers of AmongUs from engaging streamers like this three years ago? The answer is streamers these days have an audience and gone are the days when a free copy of your game has meaning. Streamers want to keep the lights on, they are looking for sponsorship and with having their own audience, we are beyond the days when you can just give us a free copy of your game to a streamer. They want to keep their channel alive and what streamers want is a cut of the profits. So on VoxPoP developers engage streamers and say hey listen I got this new game, I want to showcase my game. If you recommend this game to your audience, I will give you 10%, 20%, 30% of every sale. Its an old model of reciprocity built into the system. You can attempt virality on another platform but with VoxPop you stand to earn a profit if people buy a proven model.

Our Guests-Chuck Gershman Chuck Gershman is cofounder of Owl Ai This startup develops sensor systems for satellite systems in outer space, defense applications, automotive applications, and medical applications. The firm developed a proof-of-concept thermal camera system for the U.S. Air Force. Digital cameras were the original sensor source but only with 2D sensor systems. The automobile systems were designed for visual driving. Using two eyes, human beings guesstimate estimate distance or depth, and they allow us to absorb information from the environment and this is how the road system in the United States was developed. Digital cameras were the original sensor source with only 2D capability. Automotive companies have supplemented visual sensors with radar systems that produce depth information so that information was fused together with visual sensors. What was discovered was just like humans see well during daylight, they struggle with shadows, seeing well in darkness and at night, and headlights limit driving ability to see well and humans really struggle in the rain, snow, and fog. This is exacerbated in the sensor's world. They're worse. Thermal imaging does not know the difference between night and day. It is a camera that produces an image that is the same in either day or at night and does not rely on light photons. It relies on an energy photon emitted by the object. It is still photon-based physics it is just not light daylight, so the images are the same night or day. The wavelength that we sense is longer than a visual wavelength. As such it is less encumbered or attenuated by things in the atmosphere like snow, rain, smoke, or fog. That is not to say there is not some attenuation, but the degree of attenuation is orders of magnitude less than what we experience. Therefore, humans can see in environments like snow, rain, etc. Keywords Wavelength Radar proof-of-concept thermal camera systems 2D capability energy photon Thermal imaging Digital cameras energy photon emitted road system energy photon 3D Point Cloud

Our Guests-Robin Sells Pacific Watercraft Solo Personal Ski machine – Robin Cells A problem for most water sport enthusiasts is the frustration around acquiring the equipment needed for their water sport is getting the driver, the spotter, and the boat all together at the same time. Solo, the personal ski machine, solves that problem. It allows you to go water skiing, skateboarding, anything you can do if you're being towed behind a boat you can do by yourself. You are in complete control. You control everything remotely through a wireless ski handle. The first question asked is: don't you need a spotter in all the states? After 8 years of lobbying, Solo is now legal in 41 states plus Guam, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. And we are legal almost everywhere else in the world. We have found that Solo is in such big demand right now especially with the pandemic in progress. Yet 2019 was a stellar year for boating sales and 2020 saw an increase of 12% in sales across the boating industry. Solo is a good little machine and 94.5 inches long and is powered by a 120-horse powered engine, completely wireless controls as opposed to the previous model which was wired. In that model, you had to use our handle and our speed rope. Now, you can use your own handle and rope and what you get from us is a little clamshell with the controls on it that clamps onto the standard if your handle then that communicates by Bluetooth to a device you either wear on your vest or on your upper arm and in turn that device communicates with the boat. Everything you have to have is in this device. It has a collision-avoidance system, a remote retrieval system, GPS built into it so that if you fall you can start the boat up remotely. It will track right back to you at idle speed and when it senses the distance between you and the bow of the boat of about 10 feed the engine will shut off and just drift right up to you.

Our Guests-Jaian Cuttari Make-Your-Pitch frames the discussion with Jaian around Startups. Interview with Jaian Cuttari, entrepreneur and founder of Veltrust, a top-performing management Consulting and investment firm landing in the top 10 on the Fortune 100 fastest growing businesses of 2020. According to Jaian there are certain rules. Startups are born as an idea. The level 2 solution and level 3 ideas are dominant as entrepreneurs. Startups are exploding in every industry. A startup journey can go in any direction. There are no rules, no framework. There are basic principles that startups must keep in mind. Starting with the conception phase, then the startup is an idea and the team moves from a Level 1 idea for a basic solution then one moves on to a level 2 solution where one has spent several years or decades in the industry and comes to a more efficient way of getting something done. Then there is a level 3 idea which is top tier which is a mix of things. It is something that someone from your industry might overlook or may not have thought of. In the process, you figure out what happens next. The journey usually starts with a solo person. Then teams are formed and built. At the outside, many people are secretive and reluctant to reveal the ‘secret sauce. Most startups start too heavy, they are too restrictive. Startups need to battle test ideas, be flexible and open and participate in idea sharing to reach a flow in startup development. It is a balance that should be considered and define the contributions to change color or adjust processes because it is necessary to test development as the startup progresses. The startups will begin to realize and ask the question does the solution really work. The partnership is key in the development to help the startup be open to different approaches to the development. Partner with a small firm and get the necessary input that can help with the development.

According to the WHO there are 57 countries worldwide that have a chronic shortage of experienced caregivers. IBM was involved during the research but that company gave up and walked away from the project saying it was impossible to deliver which gave the narrator the impetus to jump in, get involved and not look back. The development let to a product that was created for less than $100,000 and in less than 8 months. Henrietta joined the team and both Andrew and Henrietta found their life's calling in Kenya where there are 500 midwives across Kenya where there are a minimum of 1.5 million births each year.. They work with a professor of obstetrics on the protocol and are helping to build out the protocol to bring expertise and care to the country.

They might be a little young to be involved in decentralized finance. As a big believer in the education process works. On of their first students is now on the eleventh feature film with another group of young people, seventh grade age group are not involved in film creation with phone calls coming in from students ask the Star wire team to come and work with them. The Youngsters are asking questions like, how do I get my film financed? We have other grads working on films and you'd be surprised how fast the word spreads about what we are doing. Star wire is an app empowering a movie maker to take full ownership of their work in the film industry. It is surprising how quickly the cast crews and investors come together to create what is not known as Star wire. What Star Wire brings to the marketplace is trust. People are expecting you to provide what is needed to get their projects off the ground. Star wire believes what it brings to the marketplace and to the table is trust. People trust them to bring the right tools and the right people to projects to help those projects grow and be funded. People working with Star Wire believe they will not be shortchanged with their royalties, their payments and there is example after example after example of artists not being paid fairly or not being paid at all. The Star wire team wanted to keep things super simple so that simplicity and trust are the two factors that Star wire team brings to the table. For Star Wire the Smart Contract builder allows creative people to build all the elements needed to build and complete a smart contract builder. They immediately realize that what they have is a solution that puts the information right into the technology. They want to be content creators using a smart contract builder.

Make Your Pitch Ivan Tchatchouwo - The Zone I went to Holland high school basketball program. I was able to take this division two scholarship, the first couple of years was a bit you know I was behind a lot of guys but I was also injured half of the time. I got hurt early in the preseason and I never recovered I had a tough time. I stopped really going to classes started substance abuse. I was lost. I realized I didn't know what I could do. I graduated and started a youth Wellness camp helping young kids with that struggle with an identity crisis. We ended up started to do 50 to $75,000 in revenue a year at the age of 25 so then we decided to try to go into Columbia with a low GPA. Then I also tried myself at getting a small minor in emba didn't happen but I took two courses with professor Kaplan and professor Don Weiss. The first-course professor Kaplan he taught me that I had to think bigger in my mission and the event space I wasn't really making money you know I was kind and even or losing money but I was already doing things right and I would be in the youngest in the class. My buddy Eric who's my Co-founding my partner Eric he was a baseball player captain at Concordia also. We started talking and we see the numbers - 64% of students dropping out of college because 9% of students in college only 9% seek help from the schools on Wellness resources and 33% don't believe in what the school offering so we looked at those numbers and like many is causing some schools 9 digits some schools 8 digits and I'm like OK these are big numbers why aren't they kind of going into those well in these situations why aren't schools invested in what's the bridge? We look at the big market 20 million college students right soon after just about 500 to 550K give it state student-athletes in college back on college sports, so we decided to create a Tele Wellness startup around putting Wellness coaching and student-athletes. We did that early on and tested the model out in an MVP stage starting once a December with schools such as Stony Brook, Memphis. We found we do want to create emotional intelligence before we get too lost. Younger generations don't understand why they need these resources. We actually partner with a lot of existing resources which makes it really excited for us. So we signed long-term deals with one university that we're soon going to announce and we're also talking to a plethora of HBCs. Our price point is at $50 per seat per year and our goal is after five years attaining 5,000,000 students and we are currently raising $1.5 million in the seed round to really adopt product stickiness and get the building community around this younger generation. I sit on more the financials in the product development road map so there's a lot of different space Hiring is 1 marketing and branding is a small bunch technology outside the currently outsourcing out technology and that transition is going to happen but we're still going to slowly. So currently we will raise it on a convertible note, and we have a 5,000,000-valuation cap with 8% interest rate back on the loan in 20% discount into the series a.

Its focus is in the distributed ledger technology better known as the blockchain. The purpose of the firm is to deliver trust and transparency for digital advertising over an industry consortium network. The company developed the core technology at its beginning but recently has perfected their core offering in their industry and across industries. Once Fiducia defined its core offering within and across industries it became an operating network for industry participants. For advertisers, Fiducia creates display ads, video ads for mobile devices and digital television leveraging the supply chain transparency. The industry, according to Brown is fragmented and lacks transparency. In essence, the industry has, for example, in the Supply Chain, there are a number of vendors which represents five different layers of vendors. Within each of the layers, there can be hundreds of suppliers and there can be hundreds of thousands of publishers. The challenge is the industry is opaque and fragmented. Therefore advertisers do not see all the vendors in their supply chain and cannot follow their add from the vendor to its appearance on a website or another digital display. This fragmentation has led to a number of bad practices such as fraud. This has led to inefficiencies and a number of providers are not providing any real value within the supply chain. The digital advertising market is approximately $200 billion dollars. Fiducia identified that 25 % of the advertising spend is unqualified. Of that, 22% is actual real advertising dollars. Fiducia offers advertisers a way to optimize their supply chain, monitor members and begin tracking how money moves through their system. Operation efficiency is the next goal. Once the vendors are operating on a single platform then there will be operational management and tracking to determine what is moving and where it is moving with the supply chain. This will result in more advertisers getting more money from their advertising that can be used to build brands.

Make-Your-Pitch Smoke Wallen, Vertical Wellness I, number one years ago, I spent most of my career in the beverage alcohol industry, building distribution and brands. And I sold out of my last whiskey and vodka company. I started several years ago and my wife turned to me and said, well, before we do another liquor deal, we've got to look at cannabis. And literally, that led me on this path to vertical wellness. We got involved in, in the adult-use recreational cannabis space in California and put some businesses together, race and capital. And along the way, I went to Washington and I met with some of the leadership in the Senate and the house, and it was trying to get an idea of how long the federal prohibition was going to still be in place. And this was back in the early 18. So it was quite a, quite a, quite a long time in the world of cannabis. And I left there with the distinct impression that cannabis was going to take a while, but him Was probably something that we got a lot of bipartisan support on all sides to legalize. So when I got back to California, I said to my partners, we need to get into the hemp business. You know, this is a way to build brands. We think brands are what matter in the cannabis space, longterm, but they're very hard to build. And I know we're going to talk more about that, but they're very hard to build in a fragmented state by state-regulated business. So the idea of vertical wellness was simply if we created a cannabinoid-based health and wellness company that built brands, we could build them nationally through mainstream retail and distribution accounts that I have called on for many decades like Walmart and Walgreens and Hyatt, hotels, and Marriott. And we could build brands much faster than in the fragmented THC cannabis. I shouldn't have the idea of vertical wellness. And since then we've had lots of interesting twists and turns with I'm sure we'll get into some of it, but we grew a lot of hemp. We extract it into CBD and then we put that into our consumer brands for lots of different categories. And with that being said, your categories though are very broad. I think your real goal is to kind of, let's say, be one of the leaders in the CBD area throughout the nation, is that right? Yeah, that's right. And, and when I say different categories, we really think about all the different places that cannabinoids can have an impact on people. And so when you start thinking about it and such as people we have pet care is actually a there's lots and lots of evidence. Now coming out that can add cannabis-based products. CBD can help with pets, arthritis, or super excited pets. So we have a pet brand. We don't think that the same brand you give your, your, your puppy is going to be the same brand you'll put on your injury or you'll drink before a workout, or you'll put on your face for cosmetics. We built brands around different segments, of the use of the product. And we've got beauty health and wellness brands kind of workout athletic brands, functional brands. And in each of these categories, we've also kind of zeroed in on different demographics and, and audiences that we feel we can, we can serve. So the idea is we've created a house of brands if you will. And if you look at lots of big consumer package companies like Wesley or P and G or Diageo, or, you know, a lot of these companies have a portfolio of brands in different categories, but they don't say the same brand on every category. You know, I think it's always interesting when I get into the brand discussion. When you look at the CBD world, you see a lot of big letter CBD on a lot of the same brands and it, to me CBD is a wonderful ingredient that comes from the cannabis plant, but it is an ingredient. And it's not a brand. And so we're building, I, we think authentic real brands that happen to use this incredible plant to help with people's needs, whether it's sleeplessness, anxiety relief for pain relief, and, and we're seeing lots of great results as a result. Well, I know that you have those in development. When are you actually going to begin the release of your, your basic product lines? Well, we're live with about 11 brands today. We've got our website, the well shop.com where you can get them. We also have a network of Sales agencies, brokers who are representing our brands and helping sell into different channels of trade. As the market opens back up from COVID and we're seeing retail shops open up again and malls open up and restaurants and hotels, we're going out and w through distribution and through rep groups, getting our brands into physical distribution. So we have online stores, places like Macy's is selling our organic candy factory. They could be the very purpose, you know, perfect for a lifestyle brand like towels. So we've really got a kind of wide range of offering there. Live. Now, the thing that's the big brand launch that's about to happen in early summer is we have a partnership with Kathy Ireland and we're doing Kathy Ireland health and wellness CBD solutions. And that will launch the summer, but a lot of the other brands are already available. Excellent. Now I want to, I'm going to drop back a year. Okay. And most businesses, and of course you're being a part of so many and such a high at a high level. You certainly were able to think outside the box, but I understand. And 2020, and before, even 2020, there was a little trick played on you. That caused a little problem in the business. And in a new industry, you can't really rely on the ecosystem. There's not one that's developed. So we thought we've had to be in that. So when we, our partner farms planted 1800 acres of hemp in 2019, the CBD oil that would come off of that crop was probably worth three to $400 million. By the time the harvest came around in October, that was, might've been worth 30 to $50 million. So we had a complete compression of pricing, everything from the hemp plant itself to the CBD after. The thing we had, the biggest was an industrial drying operation. So we were able to dry a lot of hemp and it turns out that some of the big bankruptcy's had a lot of wet HAMP that needed to be dried and processed. And we were able to get contracts to do 18 million pounds of other people's generated cash. Got, got us back in business, bought us time to get our brands ready to go. And you know, it was, it was an important pivot. It, it, I don't think I would set out to be a hemp drying processing business if I started from scratch. But it's good. Maybe a good example for your audience who, you know, you have to pivot and you're, you're It .

I worked with a variety of companies that could be in Sony, Sanyo, Duke University here in Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania hospital so it was time critical deliveries I would say that was very challenging when I opened up. There were many companies already doing it. I got the most challenges for my license of anybody ever in the state Pennsylvania from the public utility Commission that's because I had been on the street selling for a while. Anyway, I digress. So time critical delivery, warehousing, logistics, supply chain, chain of custody; remember those words because they will come into play a little bit later in my story. Here then my son said to me mom you gotta get into the industry 'cause it's blowing up and so I went to shows I did a lot of exploration and I started smoking hot solutions which was the name I gave it originally which was smoking hot solutions we create the buzz and I flipped rock'n'roll E for the beginning of the industry and that's about 12 years ago. Then a few years ago we changed our name to Most Consulting Group and why did I change our name? I brought on I had a wonderful intern I'm always surrounded by and blessed to have wonderful interns and where that insurance was John monk and when he was graduating his I sent him oh Oh my goodness where you going what are you doing I'm staying right here I'm staying with you. OK I said stay. We're the oldest marketing company in the industry. We're not on training wheels we know what we do. We don't waste people's money. I would like to speak with you today about green bar, first green bar first of fine cannabis products for the kitchen and the bar originally our original premise was to sell to bars and restaurants of course then came along the COVID dilemma and so we had change directions and we are marketing now too. I am very happy to say that we are now doing things like pop-ups and CBD stores bars and restaurants etc these ingredients can be translated into a spa. Whether it's hot or cold so you could put it in your salad you could put it in your oatmeal and it's another way for you to enjoy your healthy dose of CBD. Why did I choose food and beverage? Because according to statistics the CBD infused beverage market will explode beyond crazy 2.8 million projected I'm sorry 2.8 billion by the year 2024. 2.8 billion that's a lot of billions and the same thing on the THC side we will be able to do this with THC as well in states where we can sell THC obviously so everybody and their mother is selling CBD; CBD creams, CBD picture patches a million different CBD crowded space. I own a marketing agency. We don't have to go outside and find somebody else to do it we're gonna do it ourselves so that's digital it's every place. Where we can advertise we will do that and I am working with some wonderful people at the moment as well. Like I said I've been in this business for 12 years so I think I know what I'm doing so that's it. I could go out and ask for $1,000,000 aggregate but really what do I need to get started what do I need to get started I need to get started I would say 150 to $200,000 that would be wonderful for me and it could come and trashes could come in $25,000 trash is 50,000 whatever that's me that's what I'm asking for I would use it for infrastructure I would use it for marketing and advertising for sure a lot of marketing a lot of advertising a lot of outreach and that otherwise this is a product which is a retail product and it has to be marketed but however that would be and of course like I say I'm lucky because I own a marketing company.

I was able to take this division two scholarship, the first couple years was a bit you know I was behind a lot of guys but I was also injured half of the time. I got hurt early in the preseason and I never recovered I had a tough time. I stopped really going to classes started substance abuse. I was lost. I realized I didn't know what I could do. I graduated and started a youth Wellness camp helping young kids with that struggle with identity crisis. We ended up started to do $50 to $75,000 in revenue a year at the age of 25 so then we decided to try to go into Columbia with a low GPA. I took two courses with professor Kaplan and professor Don Weiss. The first course professor Kaplan he taught me that I had to think bigger in my mission and the event space I wasn't really making money you know I was kind and even or losing money but I was already doing things right and I would be in the youngest in the class. My buddy Eric who's my Co founding my partner Eric he was a baseball player captain at Concordia also. We started talking and we see the numbers - 64% of students dropping out of college because 9% of students in college only 9% seek help from the schools on Wellness resources and 33% don't believe in what the school offering so we looked at those numbers and like many is causing some schools 9 digits some schools 8 digits and I'm like OK these are big numbers why aren't they kind of going into those well in these situations why aren't schools invested in what's the bridge? We look at the big market 20 million college students right soon after just about 500 to 550K give it state student athletes in college back on college sports, so we decided to create a Tele Wellness startup around putting Wellness coaching and student athletes. We did that early on and tested the model out in an MVP stage starting once a December with schools such as Stony Brook, Memphis. We found we do want to create emotional intelligence before we get too lost. Younger generations don't understand why they need these resources. We actually partner with a lot of existing resources which makes it really excited for us. So we signed long term deals with one university that we're soon going to announce and we're also talking to plethora of HBCs. Our price point is at $50 per seat per year and our goal is after five years attaining 5,000,000 students and we are currently raising $1.5 million in the seed round to really adopt product stickiness and get the building community around this younger generation. I sit on more the financials in the product development road map so there's a lot of different space Hiring is 1 marketing and branding is a small bunch technology outside the currently outsourcing out technology and that transition is going to happen but we're still going to slowly. So currently we will raise it on a convertible note, and we have a 5,000,000-valuation cap with 8% interest rate back on the loan in 20% discount into the series a.

Over the years, we built it up and we now work with companies from the seed stage sometimes pre-revenue but predominantly early revenue early traction all up to series B series C private equity investment where we basically help them accelerate their growth in the early stage helping put the foundations and structures in a place to scale a bit further down the journey help them with their acquisition strategy help them where they've got a bump in the road and might need to think about things like differently as they kind of go for that exponential growth add cultural values and some of those slightly softer things that people forget about sometimes. I think of all the people that I met between 2007 and 2010 at my time there and you know we're still bound by one thing will Disney alarm there's a real kind of real sense of belonging you know is in that kind of cultural values pieces in the alignment of ambition to vision and sometimes if there's one or two founders a lot of the time they won't have had the difficult conversation around the water that you know what do you want and sometimes they won't have had that conversation so part of our job was to help them have that conversation understand each other I understand the senior management team and understand what they were looking for 'cause everyone comes from different backgrounds. having reviewed your business plan having multiple numbers and all of those things that we give you our view almost like a diagnostic on your business an unused team as individuals help you understand some of the things that you need to think about you know we provide you almost like a traffic light diagnostic red and green covering the cool parts of your business from organizational cultural values revenue marketing technology etc and give you a sense of from our perspective and through the lens of perhaps how an acquirer might think about you further down the line because one of the questions will ask is also who do you think will acquire the business? I've spoke founders of US weapons who want to build 100 million $100 million company and like do you know what that kind of company looks like and a lot of the time they go not really well that's you know five markets it's this number of people it's this is that they go wow I'm like do you feel like you've got the structures? what we're doing is trying to go right well here's a framework and here's the information that's in your head but all over here just trying to basically, take it all out and put it into a jigsaw puzzle and just go right this is the ordering us to go in because you're thinking about it and it's in your head but you're not thinking about it in in a way that makes sense for you to be able to then go OK fine I know how to get from A to B or A to D and that's part of the journey that we take with companies. When we call a growth plan which will help you create and Co-create that with you and then we help you every quarter execute on that growth plan for normally 12 to 18 months and what we find is where we set up you know we set expectations with the business and sometimes it will take who can say no six months at the lowest end so probably you know sometimes 12 to 18 months for businesses to get to get to the stage where they feel like they are In a really good cadence and and executing on that on that thing so a lot of companies will stay with us probably for 18 months maybe 24 months and at that point, we love sometimes we say right you know we've done what we need to do here you guys are you guys are in great shape.

He cares very much about the health problems in America and the world he says we have an obesity crisis our family our friends for decades in pain through nutrition and he has invented a product called veggie Dome which keeps vegetables fresh out on the table easier to eat and good for you. I found the Veggie Dome is a way that looks at the biology of the plants. It solves that problem because this enables some to have what they need to survive and it also puts in the center of the room so here you go you've got these desolately washed and you just reach in and grab it there's clunking noise throughout the day you know somebody's having something good for it and having a good snack or making a one minute cell so it really becomes a convenient way to keep vegetables and also eating something that's really healthy this more and more research out there showing that vegetables and fresh produce is really a way in which we can boost our immunity systems we can reverse heart disease even if you really get serious about eating vegetables there's a lot of research out there so this is a device that also makes it so that it's easy I'm thinking I better take a look at this and I did a successful Indiegogo and at that time also I had made some patents and design patents which are you know good to have. I'm raising $1,000,000 that's going to be 60 to 70% of that money goes straight for inventory it's gonna be on the shelves six months later. it's the proof of product that we still are going towards to understand that you're attempting to or are producing this in the US is that right we are attempting to it's really difficult 'cause how all the hundreds of glassmakers that are in the United States there are only three that are really able to do this this design it's a very special piece of glass glass makers like in the United states there making all these little tiny bottles medicine bottles and stuff so the answer to your question is we're not firm on it. When we raise that $1,000,000 we will be able to have that eight-month period where the product is being made and brought to the shelves to be able to really retool and get the tools ready for our marketing get those strategic partnerships in a place so that in terms of that first 12 month period eight months of it we will have time where the product is, we can still be doing some tests on it but we will be getting ready with all of these relationships that have been now growing for the last four years but in the 18 month period then we will also be on then QVC and that's a great way to get known. We get a little bit of trial with the as seen on TV people which we might revisit so there's your broadcast media also with the plant-based network television which they already when wanted to be able to put our product for front and put ads on as a partnership with us so that would be good.

Thank you, Ellen, for inviting me here today to on speak your podcast. So truly an honor. Yeah. So my name is Alvin. I am the CEO of ore brains and we are dedicated to creating a sustainable eco-friendly PPE, specifically face masks made here in the US. The technology behind our masks was born from a material science research company, Vioxx that came from a UC Berkeley accelerator. And later on into an indie bio cohort, we have been focused on developing eco-friendly everyday products in filtration, specifically in filtration products. So that is with air and water filtration. When the pandemic came early year, last we had an opportunity to incorporate some of our technology into creating a better product to service the demand of face masks from last year. You know, we saw the huge disruption in the supply chain, both on the medical field and the on consumer end, something that we've always covered is world-class here in America. We saw that disrupted greatly, and that there was a huge issue to get quality products and quality information out there year. last You know, people were getting a lot of different mixed messages. What should we be wearing? What be we should doing to protect ourselves from this virus? We were able to do, bring, bring a market, a product to market largely through a Kickstarter online platform, and really build out a brand and a presence last year, fast forward to right now, we do with the success that we've seen on the consumer end with our online market. We are doubling down on our production, our capability to produce single-use disposables using the same filter technology our, and we're our goal is to really introduce our tech, which is more efficient at the filtration, more breathable and more lightweight than the average N95 respirator that you see in hospitals and et cetera. So our mission right now is to really build out our capability to produce these N99 masks and provide them to all the markets and the consumer market that is in need of these products. Did we, or it's still mine. Now you have, you've developed this over a period of time. What is the development process? Why is yours different from anybody else's? Is it a disruptive product or is it one that's that you've engineered? That just is a tad bit better. Tell me, tell me a little better wine. Sure. So yes, this is a, when, when COVID came out and we saw like a huge influx of a lot of mass-based big smash products, what really allows us to stand above the crowd is we, we are scientists at heart, essentially, at least the founder of the company. When we designed this product with the technology, with the ethnicity in mind, it wasn't just another cutesy product that you can put over the face and cover and fulfill requirements to be able to enter buildings or to be able to move around freely. But we, what we wanted to do is really create the best product out there. And we believe we had that with the technology that we have, the material in the way that it is woven allows for 99% of filtration of airborne particles. Whereas the standard N 95 is only filtering out larger particles at a 95% efficiency. The reasoning for that is, you know, the traditional respirator at the N95 is what we considered the gold standard these days. Those weren't developed with a consumer, consumer use in mind, you know, these are, we're back developed in the 19 hundreds, early 19 hundreds for chemical warfare, for industrial work, for medical work. it And wasn't really designed with an idea a of everyday American, everyday person wearing it throughout the day, whether it's in the office or out, out, out in public. So on that end, you know, there wasn't much design or thought in terms of the usability or the comfort of everyday use. So we developed, we, we thought that there was a huge opportunity to be able to innovate upon a decades-old design and bring out something better for the consumer and for the traditional industrial commercial applications well. as Okay. Go ahead. I'm sorry, please. Go ahead. Okay. I was going to say one of the first things I noticed about your mask is that it's stylish. Okay. It doesn't sit on the nose like current masks do. There seems to be something inside that helps it sit up off of the nose so that you're able to breathe while you're still wearing the mask. Was that purposeful in your design? Yeah. So every part of it was done designed for the purpose of having an efficient mask without sacrificing the aesthetic and the comfort. The idea is that this is a mask that you will be able to wear throughout the day without feeling the need to adjust or play around with it because it's uncomfortable. So the nose bridge, we have a medical grade nose bridge and the top of the mask so that it will hold it to contour fit to your face. However, it is put behind a mesh layer so that it's not uncomfortable, like pinching answered knows throughout the day. Okay. Mr. Fair. Have you had any, Oh, testing is done as far as its reliability, its percentage. Do you have any real, real-life testing from a lab or anything yet? Sure. So we've had some independent testing from third-party testing from labs, such as Nelson lab Intertech. And so we have the L we've put them through the ringer essentially, you know, we send, we've had samples tested or destroyed and just put through, put through a lot of rigorous tests. We are currently undergoing certifications with Nyasa and FDA, and we're confident to able be we that will surpass it, to fulfill the requirements, to get the certifications of the N 95. It's just a matter the of going the red tape had going through the process. Currently, the CDC, the FDA, they're all, they've all been notoriously slow in the process. And with the crisis of last year, it just adds a few more in months the process. However, fortunately, we are able to sell these more regulated products under what's called the EUA emergency use authorization, which is what was announced and what was declared early last year. And that allows a lot of mass products to be introduced to the market. Unfortunately, you also have a lot of bad actors which have made it difficult for more legitimate enterprises to really saturated the market. However, that's the case with any crisis, so to speak? Well, I, I often wonder not, not often wonder, but I wonder when we're talking about this type of product, of course, there's a, there's a lessening demand in the general population. And so how's that going to affect your sales, your sales projections, have you, have you decided which direction to take it in order to maintain profitability? Sure. So understandably, you know, with increased vaccinations throughout the world, there will be a lessening of demand. However, we still foresee that for the next couple of years, there will still be an inflated demand for face masks, you know, and I think there's a larger consumer awareness in terms of air filtration, air quality, and that will still be here like there. That will still be the case after the worst has passed, you know, people going on air travel, there will probably be a need for, or a want, a demand for protection while in these enclosed spaces. Because if it's not, COVID, there's always to going be something that, that is out there. That's just the nature of, this is the reality of the world. You know, we've seen it in the past decade that there been has multiple diseases, although not any as impactful or as harmful in terms of like the global scale as COVID, but you've seen for the last year, you know, Zika, H one, None, SARS, there has always been harmful. There's always been a need for this kind of protection. And especially in certain areas, such as traveling air travel, I do not foresee that those requirements will go away. Even if the general population like you don't to have be wearing one to be outside or to be in enclosed spaces. I still see there will be a huge demand at that respect, but that being said, you know, we are, as I mentioned, we were not originally a mass company, right? We, we were a science or research development company and we just so happened with the timing of our first launch to release this mass product. That being said, we're committed to being the best bet best mask product. There is out there. One of the products that we are excited to continue to work on and to launch in the near future is our biodegradable bile Palmer plastics, which has huge applications in the food and the packaging industry. That was something that we were very excited and very close to launching prior to COVID, which forced us to make a bit of a shift in our go to market strategy, you know, but we are excited to continue to fund and redevelop our research and development side to develop this biopolymer plastic, which we will plan to also incorporate within our own product line and make an effort towards our sustainability mission of creating a zero waste product. Well, I can see it as Helen was talking about your background, And so forth. I, I assume it's not in science, right? That's correct. Yeah. So the founder of the company and my business partner and or brands, she comes from a science background, she has a master's in material science from UC Berkeley, and she was the founder of, or brands and bikes technologies, which is the research and development arm of the current venture. Okay. And who else is on your team right now? Alvin? Sure. So currently it's Vivian and me. We have built out our manufacturing capacity here in Nevada. And so we've built out an engineering staff and team as well to manufacture and fulfill our mass orders. And right now we have a team of about 8 people and that's spread out between the engineering, the manufacturing, marketing, and sales, and just administrative stuff. Okay. Now, With that being said, now let's move over into, are you pre or post-revenue right now? We are post-revenue. So a lot of last year, we've been focused on doing a lot of the research and development in terms of the product design. And we've, we're able to do a couple of hundred thousand in sales last year on our consumer product alone. This year we're continuing that trend of strong demand for our consumer product while also introducing our disposable products, which we hope, we believe we'll have a lot of higher demand and application and more traditional industries. As I mentioned that have used PPE in the past and are interested in a better alternative. So you have your construction companies, hospitality and food packaging industry. Those are current customers in those, in, in the commercial space. Now Alvin, for people who are just becoming familiar with the aura brand on your website, you show the mass structure and the design of it. My question is what happens when a person comes to the website and they're interested in investing or purchasing a mask. So, and that's something that we should probably add to our website as well, but you can reach out to me directly. And as you mentioned before, my email is alvin@auramasksorataurabrands.com and happy to have the conversation to be a part of the team is join our efforts here. Okay, good. It's, it's a unique construction that you've, your company has created. What other things are in your pipeline that you can talk about? Sure. As I mentioned before, we are largely an eco-friendly green tech filtration at company our, at its core. And on the, in that direction, we are excited to be working on a fully compostable face graphs product. Obviously, that isn't something that's going to be used in a medical or more, more industrial setting. However, for a very socially conscious environmentally conscious consumer, you know, this is what we're very excited to offer this product in the near future, you know, with the increase of usage of face mask for the past year, we see that all over the place. You know, you see that in our parts and see that in our oceans, a there's a huge impact in the plastics and other harmful polymers out in our We environment. hope to use some of our material, right, dairy milk to material, to create safe and effective mask that can also be biodegradable and compostable. So after someone is done using it, they can, you dispose of it properly. And then basically it go will back the into earth it where came from essentially. Wow. Interesting. Yeah. How long have you been in this field without having a science degree? So in terms of this mentoring manufacturing, this space, it's been about a year, you know, previously my business partner brought me in to operate, be on more of the operational and the finance and to run the day-to-day mechanisms of the company. So that was sort of my background in my previous career and what I'm working on to continue to grow the business in that sense. Okay. All right. Do you have any, well, I know you must sales projections on what you think the masks will bring in terms of revenue in the next year? Yeah. So we've set a goal to sell 5 million masks this year. And we think with our current projection, we will be able to hit that in terms of production and sales. Our short-term goal is to be able to achieve a quarter million in sales, selling a quarter-million masks a month by the beginning of Q3. So that's currently what we're targeting for and aiming to achieve. Now, when you said the masks are contoured to the face, I immediately thought of people who do gardening or people who are susceptible to allergies, like pollen and that kind of thing. And it seems like your mask would fit that solution for people who have allergies. Yes. You know, obviously, you know, it's, it was designed with the idea of having, having the effectiveness without sacrificing the comfort and the aesthetic as I mentioned before, and additionally, to the way that most masks are designed or woven, it does not really filter out many parts well. It would probably be effective enough to filter out most like pollens or larger particles such as that. But what's great about what we have done is we have a non-woven material that will do what's called surface filtration, meaning it will be blocking any incoming harm, potentially harmful particles from entering or coming in through the mask. You know, a lot of the guidance that we have been receiving is that these mats, the mask mandate, isn't so much to protect the mask wear in terms of, you know, these masks are designed to stop viral particles. It's more to prevent the mask wear from transmitting through coughing or like sneezing part of harmful particles into the, their environment, into people they're associated with. What we have created with the non-woven build is that it is filtering it at the surface so that the harmful particles are not coming in and affecting the mask Interesting what's on the horizon for your company. Well, currently, you know, we're working on building out our manufacturing capability and our sales channels through to these companies so that we can provide people with a safe, alternative, safe option to get back to work, essentially. And again, once we get our research and development backup in full gear, we are looking to continue to build out the compostable products and find different applications for our technology. You know, there's a filter tech is also has great applications in HVAC and home filtration as well. So we're exploring some options of incorporating our filters into an HVAC product. Additionally, we are also working on some water filtration technology that we will probably be exploring more further down the line, Quite a mix of products. And of course, I think when we talk the first time, my, my suggestion was can you make grocery Bags, plastic grocery bags with your biodegradable products. So, you know, when you decide to do that, let me know. I'll be happy to be your representative For sure. Yeah. I mean, like I said, with the bio, biodegradable plastic biopolymer plastic, there are multiple applications in multiple industries. So we're really excited to dedicate our efforts to building that out in the near future. Right now. You're, you're asking for what now? What do you, what do you want to, what do you need, what's your ass? I, I'm digressing a little bit, but I'm sort of touching a little bit on my motivation and what insight, insight excited me about working with this opportunity with my business partner in this mass product, in this manufacturing project as a whole. Okay. But did you, didn't, you didn't talk numbers with me though. I need to know the numbers and what's in it for them and what are you gonna spend it on? Gotcha. So we are currently raising about a million, 1.5 million. And what that will do is that will allow us to continue to build out our sales and marketing, to put our message out there, to build brave awareness, and to increase our sales channels. Part of it will be dedicated to our manufacturing capability. We have some equipment that we have on hand that we're looking to acquire that will bring down our cost of goods. If are we able to bring our supply chain fully in-house vertically integrated in-house. We're looking to increase, decrease our cost of goods by half. And that requires a substantial capital investment at the beginning. But however, that will allow us to achieve our revenue goals early in the year. And additionally, as I mentioned in the past, we are looking to jumpstart our research and development division to be able to introduce new products, product cool lines to, for the Okay. And your, your investment is structured, how We're currently using a safe note or convertible note based on our current evaluation. Okay. And your current evaluation is what We are currently evaluating it based of, on our previous pre-seed angel investment round at 5.5 million. Okay. And we think that's a discounted valuation rate. It's just currently, it's early stage discount evaluation. Okay. All right. Very good. Very good. All right. Ellen, anything there from your side? No, I, I like the company. I like the product and I think they have an interesting future ahead. Yeah. I agree to that because of that diversity of the product area, although it falls in the same basic categories, it's a very diverse selection of various types of things that they can do with the same type of technology. Now, yeah. Alvin, is there anything you'd like to say to the investors before we close out this episode of make your pitch anything you'd like to say to them that you think will make them want to take a closer Yeah. I think we're in a great space here with the manufacturing mass here in the US you know, there's a lot of cool things that we're doing here with our product. And we believe that that truly has the opportunity to really disrupt a very archaic industrial sector. And with that, there's a lot of opportunities once we get the word out, essentially, that there is a better alternative to what's currently the gold standard. And we are looking to replace it, disrupt that in many places, more places than one. And we are very excited for the opportunity to build this operation here in the US and remain competitive to through automation, supply chain efficiencies, and just continue to innovate on a superior product. So that's Very, very, very good, very good. You know, there are, as we, as we wrap up this episode, Alvin, thank you so much for being a part of a baker pitch. We appreciate your joining us and spending some time with us and telling us about what you have going on because it is, it is a disruptive product and Ellen and I love disruptive products. So thank you for being a part of this podcast today, Alvin. Thank you so much. Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Ellen. Have a good one. You too, Be definitive when you make your pitch.

Robert Cantrell is a registered patent agent and innovation consultant with experience as an inventor, an intellectual property strategist, and a leader of patent research and analysis teams. He supports inventors from the inception of ideas to the drafting filing and prosecution of patent applications, which taps into his own experience as an investor in retail on more than 150 patent applications in drones, store, robotics, data management, artificial intelligence, blockchain packaging, and transaction security. He has an extensive work portfolio in innovation sciences, which allows him to look horizontally across many technology, disciplines to raise the quality and quantity of inventions produced by innovation teams. And the thing to think about with a patent as protection, is that just like with a castle, there is almost no such thing as an impregnable castle and just the same way, maybe with a patent, I've worked with teams that have worked with companies that have put a number of a lot of resources into. Into dealing with the validity of a patent and addressing the ability of a patent. And I've been very successful at dealing with that. And, so what a patent is doing for you in the innovation space, you really need to think is that it's, it's in a sense slowing down somebody who might not have your best interest in mind. It, you want to, with a pen crate in a situation where somebody who may be a competitor, for example, would, would prefer to work with you on your terms rather than try to go around or try to invalidate your filing. So now for other perspectives, you may not have thought about as much, right? The first of these would be a marketing perspective. Okay. Now, another thing that a patent can do for your business, is it can help to focus and align your, your platform. So, for example, if you, if you are working on a product that's oriented on safety, it can make a lot of sense and are a lot of credibility and authority. If you also have patent filings that are associated specifically with that platform, you are trying to create, you know, it could be safety. For example, it could be durability, it could be something that just makes the product exciting. So, if your patent portfolio is reinforcing that message, your patent can become a marketing tool. Another thing is that your, your patents will have a sales perspective, and this is something I often work on with inventors. I will ask what I call the who's cares question better. We will come up with an invention and, and, you know, feel that the, you know, the market's going to be interested just in the context of the invention as on its own. But often we will call that the mousetrap fallacy. The idea that if you build a better mouse trap, people will come knocking on your door. I think there is a more eloquent way to say that, but in vendors find that that's very rarely true. So, so the inventing and the patent is often the first part of that process because ultimately the invention has to be sold. But now this is where sales and marketing come together because being able to stamp patent pending on your invention, It can be one great way to give it a little bit more or sales push people will feel there'll be a perspective that a patent that is, or an invention that is patent-pending is somehow a better quality of one that's not. And that is often true because then you look at the next perspective, which would be, I would call the focus or engineering perspective.

I am also the President of the Cascade Cannabis Association and advocate for fair and workable cannabis regulations. It is an exciting time to be a businesswoman in this budding industry. With a background in teaching in environmental education and a husband who is a second-generation grower, Lindsey thought her husband was crazy when he suggested they both go into the cannabis market. Lindsey's fear of not being able to work in education again gave her pause for concern for the future. She suggested to her husband they enter a cannabis competition to vet their ability to market and sell their product, assess the marketplace and find out if they knew what they were doing. It was a good decision because they won their first, first place award in 2015. Through various competitions, they have won nine first-place awards in a variety of competitions for a total of 13 awards. It was time well spent to confirm they knew what they were doing, they had a viable business and they could hold their own against their competition. Today the business is thriving. However Lindsey realizes their business is hampered by regulation. Lindsey is not allowed to export outside the state of Oregon. Lindsey expects the federal market to shift its regulations which will open up opportunities for the company to grow. Right now in today's climate Lindsey is strongly considering scaling the business because the conditions are right for the business. Lindsey's team are former military service members. As veterans, they have the skills to adhere to regulations and help with scaling the business. The growth goal for Glass House Grown is to scale the business in the State of Oregon while evaluating potential opportunities to expand the operation into other states.

He specializes in IT, Finance and Heath. He is a certified information privacy professional and information privacy manager from the international association of privacy professionals. Tom helps small businesses understand and use in their businesses, data, data privacy and data protection. Because investors are becoming more interested in how data is gathered, used and protected, startups will encounter more questions and inquiries into how the startup manages data. Of specific concern to the investors is the legal structures implemented around data and data collection. Understanding data privacy laws is now a requirement for startups and businesses. Investors will ask startups touted as the next big thing in data, Is it legal? Will you be legal in 5 years' time? Startup owners in this field will need to be thoroughly grounded in trends involving data and data privacy. How you comply without hamstringing your business will be the next big thing where data management is concerned. Personal data as related to individuals is coming under increasing scrutiny, According to Tom this is best to look at the International Framework of Privacy by Design. There are seven principles to consider when creating products and services. This contributes to the integrity of data collection, and how the information will be used. Data minimization is an interesting one because it suggests your firm is only collecting a minimal amount of data to achieve your results. Startups will need to understand their data and begin to employ techniques like data mapping much like a customer journey map and data inventory.

LIPKICK is where hedonism, luxury cosmetics, and the wellness benefits of the marijuana plant intersect. Joiant, the maker of the first branded CBD pre rolls, is re-launching its successful line of THC and CBD pre-rolls in customized, individually sized servings. LIPKICK is a solid oil cannabis product for the lips, geared for anyone in pursuit of a healthy, hedonistic lifestyle. A groundbreaking product introduced at a crucial time in the fast-growing cannabis industry, LIPKICK is made in Italy and packed with nourishing essential ingredients. The solid lip oil is then injected with Joiant's unique blend of cannabis containing THC, CBD and THCV at our finishing factory in Berkeley, California. Joiant uses new technology to infuse a cosmetic made in Italy with California cannabis Once applied to the lips and safely absorbed into the bloodstream, LIPKICK provides the health benefits of CBD alongside a gentle feeling of euphoria from its THC component. The result is an enhanced, yet controlled, mood and feeling of motivation. Think of it as an elevator, not a slide, a buzz, not a blur. A discrete sweep of the lips brings a smile to the face and renewed focus, energy, and vigor to work, play or any occasion. LIPKICK breaks stereotypes often associated with cannabis consumers: LIPKICK includes the THCV cannabinoid which has been shown in studies to diminish the so-called ‘munchies' or cravings that can be brought on by cannabis. LIPKICK is genderless. It is made in a clear gloss, as well as in four key color palettes. The product is packaged in a sophisticated bullet container. One application of LIPKICK provides approximately 5-7 mg of THC/CBD, or what is considered a ‘social' dose. LIPKICK is safe to reapply at will. “LIPKICK is an innovative way for anyone to enhance their cannabis experience with a luxury cosmetic product –for the hedonist with a love of conditioned and polished lips.” - Sonia Nava - Chief Marketing Officer, Joiant. The team behind LIPKICK has a truly international flare, bringing together top talent in beauty, cosmetics, technology, and cannabis. LIPKICK is made in Italy by Gotha Cosmetics, the manufacturer of such luxury cosmetics lines: Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Ford, Fenty and Lancôme, under the direction of beauty advisor Boris Cavlina ; LIPKICK is finished with Joiant's THC/CBD/THCV blend, sourced by our cannabis advisors, Rusty Wilenkin, Charlie Cangialosi and Susan Gentile, at our factory in California by an engineer, Elvis McGovern of Cannabis Extracts. LIPKICK will be marketed as a gender-neutral premium lip product under our business advisor, former Chief Merchant of Sephora, and founder of Valdé Cosmetics, Margarita Arriagada.

J oiant has partnered with Gotha Cosmetics, Kooma E-Commerce and Cannabis Extracts, under the overall direction of CEO & founder Lindsey Kirk, Lip Kick founder and CMO, Sonia Nava, and Chairman of the board, Robert Lomnitz. Joiant's LIPKICK is part of a broader revamp and expansion, resulting in redeveloped individual use pre-rolled joints and a new approach to sales, with the launch of our e-commerce site. Joiant's new pre-rolls are mini-sized and tailored for single consumer use. The focus on personal prerolls is rooted in the current world climate of protection and protection, many would prefer not to share their joints, or germs, hence our ‘party for one' approach. “Our business model of distribution through dispensaries was not allowing us to properly develop our vision of innovative products and a direct relationship with our customers. Over the past four months, we have expanded our team, redeveloped our products and changed our distribution strategy to create a shopping experience similar to that of traditional luxury fashion.” Lindsey Kirk, CEO, Joiant. Joiant pre-rolls come in packs of three, five and ten and are made of the highest quality biomass, sourced from responsible growers. Our customers can now personalize their experience with our three blends: 20:1 is a CBD dominate with 20 parts CBD to one-part THC 1:1 is equal parts CBD to THC 5:1 is 5 parts THC to one part CBD With its new product lines, Joiant, reaffirms its status as a hedonistic brand, targeted to the sophisticated, active, and responsible consumer.

The firm is dedicated to parents showing them how to solve the problem of recycling children's clothing and toys.. Toy Cycle is built on a full-service concierge consignment model. According to the most recent data, families spend $6,000 to $12,000 gearing up for the birth of a child. Each year as children grow parents discover the mountain of clothing that is collected almost immediately after purchase because of the rate of growth of a child. Options for selling clothes are limited. Market places are not set up to recycle clothing, toys and other items associated with children's growth and development. Most small sellers in the marketplace do not understand how the sales process works. Amature sellers do not always consider things like shipping information, setting a delivery date, delivering items on time letting customers know they will need to pick up an item rather than the item being shipped to the buyer. Many overlook what ‘good condition really means. Busy parents do not have the time available to sort through outgrown clothing, packing and delivering to outlets specializing in outgrown clothing. The Toy Cycle firm closes the gap between parents with outgrown clothing and downsizing the amount of clothing and toys accumulated overtime during the growth cycle. Toy Cycle offers curbside pickup service and the firm employs curators who are training in evaluating clothing and toys for resale. This model helps selling families price items for resale using a meticulous evaluation process that assures items are in good condition and ready to be resold. Toy Cycle has curated over 2,800 products with only 4 returns since 2019 which represents a 0.148% return rate.Toy Cycle builds in a quality control model that assures buyers and sellers confidence in the Toy Cycle model. The toy and clothing resale market represents a $25 billion market representing growth for many years to come.

Growing up in the hills of Tennessee, David never thought he would have the opportunity to have clients earning generational wealth. Robert Kyosaki, the Rockefellers are only two of David's master list of billionaires who have benefitted from his insights and knowledge. His market research uncovered a gap in the wealth-building process in which the founder will make the money and within one generation, the second generation, 76.5% of the time the money is lost. If the money makes it to the third generation, 92.5% of the time that generation loses the money. Studies show there is a 7% success rate of the money made actually improves their families beyond two generations. Through studying King Solomon's wisdom, Solomon was worth $4 trillion in today's money. The study allowed me to transform my family legacy from abuse, murder and adultery to one of affirmation and skills transfer in empowerment. Out of this, the Solomon Wisdom Society was born transforming my family legacy. The Solomon Wisdom Society is designed to address the number one challenge billionaire families face that is not being helped by other groups. Estate planning, succession planning are great for the money and the business. A variety of groups focus on the wealth built by founders but none help this family with what matters most and that is their families. The number one asset that is being overlooked is their families. How do we help billionaires strategically pass on their values and skills to the next generations?

CloudNineAI specializes in using data as a resource. The greater the value the greater the need to apply measured governance, tracking, protection, maintenance, and compliance. while also needing to ingest, analyze, process and retain the most sensitive information belonging to the leading companies in the world. As the founder serving as CEO, Michael has developed, implemented, and operates Augmented Intelligence Enterprise Systems by positioning the organization to leverage the transformative opportunities that intelligence amplified presence. Data management of Privacy Protection of individuals and meeting regulatory requirements for enterprises in the U.S. and across globe is the core competence of CloudNineAI's platform. The platform manages HR data, Financial data, Supply Chain data and Customer data. These sources are independent of each other. The data from multiple sources is unstructured and considered dirty data which makes the data difficult to handle. Harvesting the data then requires expertise to handle the data requires developing a data strategy to manage and deploy the results. The final composite requires roughly 18 months to develop. CloudNineAI reduces that timeline such that the resulting data is deployed out of an academic structure and delivered through industrializing the results with a digital strategy that integrates from databases into data warehousing. This process creates accessible forms for patient data in the form of patient records, credentialing records for doctors and nurses in the healthcare industry. This facilitates usage in cash flow records as well for hospital administration. This process reduces the six to nine months wait time for patient record updates because data is aggravated to create ease of access and use in calculating financial output with greater accuracy. Improvements best described as efficiency in administrative and patient record updates and results. The impact on the enterprise ecosystem is a more effective use of time and effort by reducing the number of pass-throughs the data must travel through to reach a clean and ready state of accuracy and use.

Consumer behavior drives 50% of all health care costs. How we take ownership of managing ourselves a little better. Now with shiny objects but with tools that help us manage our health better, reduce costs and lead healthier lives. Adults are always trying to find the next shiny object, the next gadget that appears to offer a panacea result. Neal says the logical use of technology can make a difference in how we take ownership of ourselves and our behavior. Neal asks the question, how can we reach the consumer and help them take better care of themselves at different stages of life? The sad truth is, consumers are looking for the next big thing, the next ‘gogar' or gadget that will extend life for 150 years. Certainly an unrealistic expectation. Neal and his company, Tuzag, Inc, have taken significant pains to transform an existing technology into one that can develop into a life-changing, behavioral modification tool to help people think more clearly about their daily existence. If consumer behavior drives 50% of health care costs, that translates into a trillion and a half dollars spent annually on health care. Imagine the net savings that are possible with training on how to take care of yourself better, how to observe your behavior and modify useless movement and other things we do every day that taken as a whole can contribute to significant savings in what we spend on medical care annually. Neal gives an insightful demonstration around the technology uses in simple statements that encourage machine learning and deep technology referencing vast repositories of data that can be called up through technology to create meaningful connections between the machine and human learning. This includes taking better care of ourselves, aging in place, taking better care of aging parents. Using his device name Alexis, Neal demonstrates how neural pathways are developed in humans and how the technology can call up relevant data through conversation with the human subject. Built on Artificial Intelligence, we can expect to see and experience changes in how we live and interact with machines.
