• CEO affirms “it is essential that our shareholders and other investors understand that we are committed to sharing information transparently”
• OTCQB helps companies build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving fair valuation
• HENC also hopes to engage several entities, individuals and influencers to post on social media sites

In a strategic move designed to inform and engage investors, Hero Technologies (OTC: HENC) has applied to the OTC Markets Group to list its common stock on the OTCQB marketplace (https://ibn.fm/zsxIv). The OTCQB Venture Market offers early-stage and developing companies the benefits of being publicly traded in the United States with lower cost and complexity than a U.S. exchange listing. Streamlined market standards enable companies to provide a strong baseline of transparency (https://ibn.fm/br9X1). “As we continue reporting on the progress of our company and engage in marketing and stock awareness campaigns, it is essential that our shareholders and other investors understand that we are committed to sharing information transparently,” said Hero Technologies CEO Gina Serkasevich. “We fully embrace our obligation as a public company to provide accurate, timely disclosures of any information that could affect the trading market for our common stock.” As a verified market with efficient access to U.S. investors, OTCQB helps companies build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving fair valuation. The market has set guidelines in place for companies interested in listing. To be eligible, companies must be current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. In addition, they must meet a $0.01 bid test and and have a public float in excess of 10% of the total shares outstanding, with at least 50 beneficial shareholders, each owning at least 100 shares. In addition, HENC hopes to engage several entities, individuals and influencers to post on social media sites such as Twitter, Stocktwits, GETTR, Facebook and YouTube; other venues the company hopes to establish a presence on include Investor’s Hub, also known as iHub, and  chat rooms or chat platforms such as Discord and Telegram. The company is also looking at using newsletters and media groups to disseminate core messages. “For example,” continued Serkasevich, “we will keep investors closely aware of further developments in the Michigan cannabis market, where our subsidiary, BlackBox Systems and Technologies LLC, has received prequalification approval for a license to produce both recreational and medicinal cannabis. Michigan is one of the fastest-growing cannabis markets in the U.S., with monthly sales approaching $150 million, so it represents a significant opportunity for potential growth for our company.” The OTCQB marketplace is run through OTC Link, an interdealer quotation and trading system registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a broker-dealer and as an alternative trading system. OTCQB-listed companies must report to a U.S. regulator, such as the SEC, and follow standards for transparency, which HENC notes will only strengthen its position in the cannabis sector. “Hero Technologies will abide strictly by the accuracy and transparency rules required of all OTCQB companies as we conduct any stock awareness campaigns through investor relations firms and on various communication channels, such as InvestorsHub, Discord, Telegram, Twitter and email,” said Serkasevich. Hero Technologies is a cannabis company working toward a vertically integrated business model. The company owns a majority stake in BlackBox Systems and Technologies LLC, an aeroponic cannabis cultivation system that provides optimal growing conditions to enhance photosynthesis and cultivation of large flowering plants, creating increased harvest efficiencies. The company’s strategic business plan includes cannabis genetic engineering, farmland for both medical and recreational cannabis cultivation, production licenses, distribution licenses, consumer packaging, and retail and dispensary operations that make the company a multistate operator.

• StraightUp announced having entered into a Purchase Option Agreement for a 100% dividend interest in the Ranger/Otter mining project
• This adds to the company’s growing property portfolio, which currently comprises the RLX North and RLX South Properties in Red Lake, Ontario
• StraightUp also recently received an early exploration permit for gold exploration in its RLX North property
• The Ranger/Otter Project addition, coupled with the early exploration permit, positions StraightUp to capitalize on the growing demand for gold, which has already surpassed $2,000 per ounce

In 2020, StraightUp Resources (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF), optioned mining claims that consisted of RLX North, RLX South, and Belanger properties, all situated in the Red Lake District, Ontario. With the region known for producing over 30 million ounces of gold so far, the company was optimistic with its investment and indicated its plans to survey the area further to uncover potentially profitable mineralization (https://ibn.fm/uci9E). Now StraightUp has announced having entered into a Purchase Option Agreement that gives it exclusive right and option to acquire from Optionors a 100% dividend interest in the Ranger/Otter mining project, located in Red Lake, Ontario (https://ibn.fm/txEoV). This agreement opens an opportunity for StraightUp to grow its property portfolio while also capitalizing on the surging gold market prices, which have surpassed $2,000 an ounce, fueled by growing gold demand from the war in Ukraine (https://ibn.fm/RkQTt). In a statement by Carsten Menke, the head of next-generation research at Julius Baer Group Ltd., he noted, “Any escalation of the war could push the world economy toward a stagflation scenario, which we see as very bullish for gold.” “Investors who see the potential for worsening could seek some protection in gold, but need to be aware that prices will likely retreat if their assumption does not hold true,” he added. StraightUp looks to capitalize on this growing demand, hence its optimism for the new purchase agreement. The purchase also comes at the right time since the company’s ground exploration and heliborne magnetic surveys in the area have evidenced multiple locations of high merit and potential mineralization. “We are pleased to further our position in Ontario’s Red Lake Mining District, especially now, given the rapid acceleration of exploration activity and large cap miners interest in the region,” noted Mark Brezer, the President and Director of StraightUp. “These new claims expand our flagship RLX Project, surrounding the Great Bear Resources Sobel Project, by over 10 percent,” he added. The purchase option agreement, dated January 20, 2022, will be executed on behalf of Perry English and Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Optionors”). StraightUp will have the right to buy back 1/3 of the net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) for $500,000, and has the right of first refusal concerning any sale of the NSR. The entire project consists of three claims, made up of 61 cells covering an area of 3,050 acres. It also borders the existing RLX North and RLX South Projects to the northeast. Optionors will collectively receive a total sum of $72,000, spread over three years. In addition, StraightUp will also issue Optionors 200,000 common shares at $0.20 per share upon signing the Purchase Option Agreement. In January 2022, StraightUp received an early exploration permit (PR-21-000261) on its RLX North Property, allowing for mechanized drilling and ground geophysical surveys requiring a generator. Going forward, the company seeks to make the most out of this permit, in addition to exploring the new Ranger/Otter Project. “The latest results, combined with our extensive data set from previous exploration, strengthen our commitment to the Red Lake Mining District and its potential for legendary high-grade gold discoveries,” reckoned Mr. Brezer. “Local expertise is continuing to prove itself invaluable to our exploration goals, and management extends further gratitude for everyone’s commitment and timely efforts,” he added (https://ibn.fm/CsAb2).

• Tingo is looking into expanding market footprint across 19 African countries in a bid to scale its impact across continent
• Company has grand plans for the future, including listing on New York Stock Exchange to become a pan-African company with global outlook
• With unrelenting commitment to combine value creation for shareholders with inclusive growth, Tingo remains focused on reshaping the face of agribusiness across Africa

Widely regarded as Nigeria’s most valued agri-fintech, Tingo (OTC: TMNA) is eyeing a potential expansion beyond its domestic market to elevate opportunities for rural communities across the entire continent. Uncompromised in its commitment to uniting commercial success with shared prosperity, Tingo doubles down on its efforts to become a truly global company, one built from the ground up within Africa. A significant part of its strategy includes its plans to get listed on the New York Stock Exchange, coupled with the intention to scale the business model tried and tested in its domicile Nigeria to deliver the same benefits to rural communities across the whole continent (https://ibn.fm/VabRt). In its 21-year long business journey, Tingo has always been focused on delivering value beyond commercial success. What started as an entrepreneurial endeavor of Dozy Mmobuosi, a Lagos-born founder with keen business sense, has grown into the continent’s leading Agri-Fintech company. Recognizing an untapped opportunity that digital technology can offer Africa’s agribusiness, Tingo continuously grew and evolved, transitioning from the first indigenous mobile phone assembly plant in Nigeria into a company that transforms the way agribusiness is done in the continent’s rural farming communities. Ever since its early days, Tingo has been committed to leveraging technology to bring shared benefits and enrich people’s lives across the continent that grapples with challenging realities — including food insecurity and poverty — that loom large for millions. Still, Tingo is more than another nimble fintech that found success on the back of digital technology. Instead, the company also seeks to better the lives of often neglected communities by creating digitally inclusive ecosystems in Africa’s Agritech and FinTech sectors. Since its beginnings, Tingo has made every effort to provide Africa’s farming communities with sustainable solutions designed to empower them to effectively manage their core agricultural activities. For example, by providing farmers with mobile phones that give them access to its proprietary digital marketplace Nwassa, Tingo equipped small producers with tools to help them grow and sell their fresh produce. With this approach, Tingo aims to support self-sustenance by increasing revenue-generating opportunities for millions of farmers and their families. Tingo is poised to grow into a truly pan-African company by scaling beyond Nigeria as its primary beachhead market. The company seeks to increase its market footprint across 19 countries in Africa, looking at the possibility of raising $500 million in a combination of debt and equity financing. In alignment with the value of shared prosperity deeply woven into the fabric of the company’s identity and business model, a considerable part of the expected financing – $100million – Tingo intends to commit to a fund dedicated to increasing credit mostly to female farmers within the next three years (https://ibn.fm/JqWD4). With the leverage that comes with Nwassa’s over 9 million subscribers, and 8 million transactions conducted every day, Tingo has grown into an agri-financial powerhouse that aims to combine value creation for shareholders with benefits for rural communities. Where around 60% of the population has livelihood tied to agriculture (https://ibn.fm/CvEmc), the industry becomes the lifeline for millions. Still, Africa’s agricultural potential remains largely untapped. In an environment like this, efforts such as Tingo’s commitment to better the lives of rural communities take on a much broader role in fostering the continent’s economic prosperity.

• Mydecine recently reported a positive Pre-IND meeting with the FDA for the MYCO-001 smoking cessation study
• According to the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”), tobacco is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S.
• Following the FDA meeting, the company now intends to perform a Phase 2b study and then a Phase 3 study instead of a seamless Phase 2/3 clinical trial
• Mydecine plans to submit a request for breakthrough therapy status with its IND submission

Mydecine Innovations Group (NEO: MYCO) (OTC: MYCOF) has continually taken steps toward fulfilling its mission to become a trusted source of safe and effective medication-based treatments for mental health and addiction disorders by developing drug candidates, partnering to advance research, and more. Under the stewardship of Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D., a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”) contracted last September (https://ibn.fm/SnsIY), for example, Mydecine plans to conduct a placebo-controlled study evaluating the science and efficacy of MYCO-001, its lead psilocybin-based drug candidate, in treating nicotine dependence, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including a Pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) meeting with the Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) as well as successful IND and breakthrough therapy status submissions. Most recently, Mydecine reported a positive Pre-IND meeting held on February 28 (https://ibn.fm/Ze5ci). Following this meeting, the company has decided to undertake a Phase 2B study and then a Phase 3 study instead of the initial approach wherein it intended to conduct the study as part of a seamless Phase 2/3 clinical trial. The company’s new approach of separating the trials enables them to publish data after each study rather than waiting until both phases are complete. “We had an extremely positive meeting with the FDA in regards to our proposed smoking cessation study. The FDA provided helpful feedback on our study design that we will implement,” commented Mydecine CEO Josh Bartch in a March 1 news release. “We are now working rapidly in preparing our IND submission of the 2B portion of the study, which we believe will be next month. Once cleared, we will move swiftly into patient recruitment.” In addition to the positive feedback, Mydecine also highlighted its plans to submit a request for breakthrough therapy designation with its IND submission. According to the company, psilocybin-assisted treatment has shown marked advantages over available therapies for tobacco addiction, including a substantial increase in safety and efficacy. Data from JHU’s ongoing studies, in fact, show that psilocybin-assisted treatments are 2-3 times more effective in treating nicotine addiction than existing treatments. With the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) stating that tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States (https://ibn.fm/t2lwh), a breakthrough designation could go a long way in remedying the situation. Equally, Mydecine’s Phase 2B and Phase 3 trials could provide the data needed to support this goal. According to Bartch, Mydecine has worked on the proposed smoking cessation study over the last two years and has even partnered to move its R&D forward. For instance, last August, Mydecine signed a five-year master collaboration research agreement with the JHU School of Medicine. Under the terms of the partnership, Dr. Johnson would spearhead research on the therapeutic use of psychedelics. This agreement would allow JHU and Mydecine to further advance research on novel psychedelic-based therapies for mental health conditions and addiction disorders (https://ibn.fm/UUpvC). Mydecine announced MYCO-001, composed of 99% pure psilocybin, early last year. The company intends to administer MYCO-001 as a possible treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) as well as nicotine addiction and is, in fact, the only biotech company targeting smoking cessation as an indication. Its planned clinical trials will build off Dr. Johnson’s ongoing research, which has evidenced an 80% efficacy rate at six months (https://ibn.fm/dIsLY).

• In 2021, energy production accounted for 60% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally
• Ammonia and hydrogen have been deemed as the two promising solutions for clean energy sources
• FuelPositive, through its green ammonia production technology, offers a means to store hydrogen as green ammonia for easier transportation and storage
• Through this technology, FuelPositive addresses the shortcomings of hydrogen as an energy source compared with green ammonia, ultimately stamping its position as a leader in clean energy solutions

Energy has been regarded as the dominant contributor to climate change. As of 2021, it accounted for about 60% of total greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, which has increased by over 46% since 1990 (https://ibn.fm/1ltp3). There is a growing need to shift to renewable energy sources and adopt clean energy solutions. Collectively, countries are aiming for universal access to modern, affordable, and reliable energy services by 2030. They are also targeting a substantial increase in the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix (https://ibn.fm/CVP90). One candidate showing great promise, not just as an energy source but also as an energy storage solution, is green ammonia. In a study published by the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, ammonia and hydrogen were deemed the two most promising solutions among the currently available energy storage options and techniques. Some of the aspects evaluated in the study included the economic efficiency of ammonia and its ability to address challenges including, but not limited to, transportation, decarbonization of energy systems, and scalability (https://ibn.fm/2h4tR). FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) is focused on the licensing, partnership, and acquisition opportunities associated with clean energy solutions. With its flagship product – a decentralized green ammonia production system, the company is solving issues formerly related to hydrogen as an energy source. Because green ammonia contains hydrogen, it provides the benefits of pure hydrogen, but does not have the problems associated with pure hydrogen. FuelPositive’s technology offers a means to transport and store hydrogen as green ammonia, with the option of easy conversion back to hydrogen that can then be used in hydrogen fuel cells and other pure hydrogen applications. “Think of ammonia as the perfect carrier for hydrogen, and if the end-use requirement for pure hydrogen, then the safest and most practical way to get that hydrogen where it needs to be is inside of FuelPositive’s green ammonia,” said Ian Clifford, FuelPositive CEO. However, FuelPositive makes the case that ammonia is a more practical option for fuel, energy storage, fuel cells and most other applications being considered for pure hydrogen. Not only does the production of its green ammonia require less energy than producing hydrogen on its own, but it stores 65% more hydrogen than highly compressed pure hydrogen. This puts FuelPositive at the forefront of clean energy solutions. What the company is doing and what it has achieved so far prove that green ammonia is a viable, clean energy alternative. FuelPositive is setting the stage and the standard for clean energy solutions globally. Its research and innovation bring society closer to universal access to modern, affordable, and reliable energy services by 2030.

• EIA projects that crude oil prices will remain high enough to drive U.S. crude oil production to record-high levels in 2023
• The agency observed that crude oil prices have generally increased since April 2020
• Laredo has historically leased 23,739 mineral acres in the Western Williston Basin of Montana
• The company recently purchased 2,361 additional mineral acres, bringing the total Montana leased acres to 26,100

The U.S. Energy Information Agency (“EIA”) is looking for domestic crude oil production to reach record-high levels in the next two years, according to its February 2022 Short-Term Energy Outlook (https://ibn.fm/ZKHa3). Oil and gas exploration and production company Laredo Oil (OTC: LRDC), is in a strong position to benefit from that projected growth as it focuses on acquiring, developing and operating undervalued conventional oil and gas properties in the United States. “In our February 2022 Short-Term Energy Outlook (‘STEO’), we forecast that crude oil prices will remain high enough to drive U.S. crude oil production to record-high levels in 2023, reaching a forecast 12.6 million barrels per day (b/d),” the EIA reported. “In the February STEO, we forecast that U.S. crude oil production will increase to 12.0 million b/d in 2022, up 760,000 b/d from 2021. We forecast that crude oil production in the United States will rise by 630,000 b/d in 2023 to average 12.6 million b/d. We expect more than 80% of that crude oil production growth to come from the Lower 48 states (L48), which does not include production from Alaska and the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico.” The agency noted that legacy production, or crude oil production from existing wells, usually decreases rather quickly in tight oil formations, but the agency anticipates that production from new wells will offset these legacy production declines. In addition, EIA observed that crude oil prices have generally increased since April 2020, resulting in increased crude oil production. Laredo is looking to contribute to increased oil production. The company’s strategy involves a focus on unlocking value where others have overlooked it, emphasizing free cash flow that allows the company to seize opportunities quickly and taking a disciplined approach by de-risking projects and exercising care in incurring expenses and allocating capital (https://ibn.fm/D7NHQ). Following this strategy, Laredo has leased 26,100 mineral acres in the Western Williston Basin of Montana; those leases were obtained at favorable prices during the most recent down cycle. Laredo continues to look for undervalued opportunities in the area. The company plans to drill the first development well at one of the first of 10 potential locations it has identified in the coming months, and if that well yields the anticipated results, the company will begin drilling additional wells in the area as soon as practical. The company believes the leased acreage has the potential to yield at least five years of development opportunities. Based in Texas, Laredo Oil is a publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company. Specializing in conventional and enhanced oil recovery techniques, the company is engaged in the acquisition and development of both undervalued quality conventional oil and gas properties and select mature oil fields. In addition to pursuing conventional recovery methods in target locations, Laredo Oil intends to utilize its proprietary Underground Gravity Drainage(TM) model, where conditions warrant, to profitably recover stranded oil reserves previously thought to be incapable of economic recovery.

• The growing popularity of artificial intelligence-enhanced security devices and big data collection are causing a growing revolution in security technology
• Analysts at Research and Markets forecast growth in the global surveillance video market through 2026 at a CAGR of 10.2 percent in response to the evolving technological demands on the sector
• Autonomous security robot developer Knightscope recently went public on the Nasdaq Global Market with its array of models that use advanced technology to patrol and monitor client properties on a 24/7 basis – without human intervention
• A key component of the Knightscope robots’ operational capabilities is the Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”) that relays data and live-streams 360-degree eye-level video to authorized security professionals

The importance of the security industry’s evolution via the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and software analytics is evident in the sector’s market growth. A variety of solutions incorporating technological advances, driven by users’ growing demand for big data and AI functionality, are ushering in a new era of physical security solutions (https://ibn.fm/9XvkG). The rising use of thermal cameras, Internet of Things (“IoT”), and smart city devices, are creating a growing list of opportunities that lead analysts at Research and Markets to predict a CAGR of 10.2 percent for the global surveillance video market between 2021 and 2026, achieving nearly $70 billion in revenues (https://ibn.fm/9aeVK). Autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developer Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) is considered a leading player in intelligent security solutions, employing a variety of stationary and mobile robots to surveil clients’ properties, anticipating potential threats to the clients’ operations, whether in the form of possible crime hazards to personnel or object hazards that may prove destructive to facilities — relaying an array of data back to the security team. While the security robots perform many functions autonomously, the key of the Knightscope technology is the Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”). This fully functional browser-based user interface provides the managers simple access to real-time data whenever it’s needed to view and interact with the ASRs’ 24/7 flow of data stemming from facial recognition, thermal scans, automatic license plate recognition, video of people’s ingress to select areas, and more (https://ibn.fm/nZYKK). Knightscope’s blog provides a potential scenario in which a general manager can start each workday with a feeling of security. For example, parking areas patrolled by ASRs are no longer occupied by people sleeping in cars or stairwells, and vehicle break-ins have been stopped. Operators can later tap into ASR video feeds to observe that employees are working safely and effectively, while perhaps being warned that a delivery driver is in an unauthorized area. The robot may then patrol a perimeter area and provide reports on its integrity (https://ibn.fm/YSSpL). The scenario anticipates a number of benefits for the company, including increased employee safety and satisfaction that has resulted in fewer costs from worker compensation and wrongful termination lawsuits, fewer costs associated with training new or temporary personnel, fewer costs associated with vandalism or other types of property destruction, and fewer losses to theft. “Robots are deployed to do the monotonous, computational heavy work while the strategic, hands-on activities are the responsibility of the humans,” Knightscope Chairman and CEO William Santana Li stated in a recent news release announcing a strategic partnership with global security and facility services company Allied Universal(TM) (https://ibn.fm/YAUeZ). Huntington Park, California Chief of Police Cosme Lozano successfully encouraged the city council to extend the municipality’s contract with Knightscope last year, stating a robot patrolling a park of concern is “not intended to eliminate or reduce the work of human police officers. It’s simply to enhance our ability to deliver police services. You can think of it if you will as a patrol vehicle, meaning that the patrol vehicle creates that presence and that extension of the police department” (https://ibn.fm/H7S64 – see 20 minute mark).

• Red White & Bloom Brands is a cannabis and hemp multi-state operator, focused on product consistency and quality, critical to the developing cannabis market that is rapidly growing state by state
• The company’s successes in Michigan, a leading U.S. cannabis market, include the acquisition of full licensing, a 15,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility, and more than 20 new potential locations for cultivation and dispensaries
• In Florida, RWB is building on its acquisition of a 45,000-square-foot cultivation facility to provide premium inventory to several existing dispensaries and new sites expected to open during this year’s Q1

Mainstream wellness consumers have cast sidelong glances at the explosion of cannabidiol (“CBD”) brands over the years, particularly those that require inhalation. But increasing regulatory approval on a state-by-state basis, as well as the 2,000-plus CBD brands that range from easy access “gas station” products to “premium” boutique shop inventory, evidence that the consumer appeal of medicinal cannabis is still showing a significant expansion curve. “While an increasing number of wellness product manufacturers are toying with incorporating CBD and other cannabinoids into products, their efforts have been stymied by the very nature of the ingredients,” Tennessee-based Volunteer Botanicals CEO Derek Odette recently told lifestyle brand Nutritional Outlook (https://ibn.fm/3ABgW). “When cannabinoids and terpenes are extracted from the hemp or marijuana plant, the result is an oil in the same way perfume and cooking oils are extracted from organic materials. Unfortunately, oil-based cannabinoids don’t play well with many nutraceutical ingredients. It can be extremely difficult to balance ratios between different ingredients, which ultimately leads to inconsistent products.” Premium cannabis brand multistate operator Red White & Bloom Brands (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) has been building assets steadily in Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Arizona, while working to establish the quality and consistency wellness consumers seek. After struggling with market perceptions of its business plan at the close of the year, Red White & Bloom announced full licensing for manufacturing both medical and adult use cannabis products in Michigan in January, along with closing a lease assignment for a 15,000-square-foot manufacturing, processing and distribution facility in the city of Warren. “This Warren facility allows us to centralize distribution for our ‘house of premium brands’ in Michigan and finally report all of our Platinum Vape(TM) wholesale sales on a much less confusing and straightforward basis,” CEO and Chairman Brad Rogers stated (https://ibn.fm/wGltC). The manufacturing facility is a key part of RWB’s acquisition strategy for 18 Michigan dispensaries, four cultivation facilities and other important real estate. The company also is using its acquisition of a 45,000-square-foot Florida cultivation facility to spearhead premium inventory production for several existing and new dispensaries under the company’s banner. “The Apopka facility will deliver the cultivation needed to meet our significant retail expansion goals throughout the state. It will also allow us to serve patients with the quality and consistency they deserve,” Rogers stated last fall (https://ibn.fm/er8HJ). “Despite being relatively new players in the Florida market, I feel we have the most talented team of PhDs and horticulturalists, and an incredible grow infrastructure to bring the highest quality products, rich in terpenes and cannabinoid content, to some of the best retail locations in the state starting in Q1 2022,” he added in October. Michigan positioned itself as a leading market in the United States for cannabis sales with $1.79 billion transacted last year. Red White & Bloom’s seed-to-sale integration for the medical and adult use sectors was further enhanced last month when it closed its acquisition of PharmaCo, Inc., granting the company over 20 assets in the state for potential new cultivation and dispensary locations (https://ibn.fm/EbmrU).

InnerScope has been building a vertically integrated business model and extensive distribution network that offers its products through major traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores and popular specialized online platforms. The upstart company earned a top spot at Walmart, now the retail juggernaut’s largest hearing aid supplier with displays in 750+ stores in the U.S., in addition to selling through Cardinal Health’s RGH Enterprises and retailers, including Hy-Vee, Giant Eagle, Hartig Drug, Food City and more. In the digital space, InnerScope runs its own online shop at MyHearIQ.com, sells on Amazon.com, and has partnered with FSAstore.com, HSAstore.com, and WellDeservedHealth.com, eCommerce sites catering to consumers enrolled in flexible spending accounts (“FSA”), health saving accounts (“HSA”), and employers’ health incentive programs. Recently, InnerScope widened its services with the launch of its own internal customer call center for the approximately half a million customers of its subsidiary HearingAssist and its iHear hearing aid customers. The launch of the call center (available at 1-800-700-4327) dovetails with the launch of the new HearingAssist.com website. Quality is a hallmark of the InnerScope ecosystem, and the company completed an exhaustive recruitment process to staff its new call center. The new hires are comprised of licensed hearing professionals, doctors of audiology, seasoned customer care specialists, and veteran salespeople, many of which were previously with InnerScope competitors such as Eargo, Hear.com, and YesHearing.com. The bespoke call center is designed for scalability, initially consisting of 15 staffers, with new team members being added each month, according to InnerScope President and CEO Matthew Moore. InnerScope is providing a spate of services free of charge through the call center to ensure the ultimate customer experience beginning with product specialists spending time explaining the different features and benefits of models and products that will best suit the customer’s needs ahead of making a purchase. The suite of services also makes free consultations available with InnerScope’s licensed hearing professionals. These hearing professionals will help customers better understand their hearing issues and assist in proper fittings to maximum benefits. Following the sale, the call center includes After-Care Service Representatives to assist with any questions or concerns throughout the product’s lifetime. “Our new Call Center will allow InnerScope to assume more ownership of the way we approach and deliver a personalized high-touch experience for the customer,” said Moore in a press release on the developments. He concluded, “Our call center is part of our commitment to building industry-leading hearing aid brands backed by superior hi-touch customer service. With our continued product innovation and our ever-growing wholesale/retail partners, including Walmart, we believe there is a tremendous market opportunity for InnerScope to experience explosive growth potential over the next 6 to 12 months.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.INND.com.
