QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Friendable Inc. (FDBL) CEO Discusses Key Advantages of the Fan Pass Live Artist Platform

 Friendable’s (OTC: FDBL) CEO and Co-Founder Robert Rositano Jr. was recently featured on the Hellblazer Biz Podcast. Rositano joined Chris Gordon, the program’s host, to discuss ventures with his brother, Dean Rositano, where the two have worked together as business partners, for almost 30 years, sharing a passion for the music industry. “In the early 2000s, the brothers worked with a major industry name to produce a new venture/revenue stream for independent artists. Together with the help of Herbie Herbert and his partner Bill Graham and their recording studio, the brothers would record artists and invite friends, family and fans to go online and vote for their favorite groups, purchase merchandise and more. This venture was what brought about the birth of the Fan Pass Live artist platform,” reads a recent article. “Over the years, technological advancements have made the Rositano brothers’ idea from the early 2000s more conducive.” Rositano discussed such advancements that have driven industry progress, including Wi-Fi as a major contributor given that wireless connections allow continuous consumption of content, music in particular. “We were trying to elevate the careers of these indie artists by not only giving them exposure, but a way to earn, utilizing the internet,” Rositano said, underlying freedom and control as key advantages of the Fan Pass platform. “It’s really always been about entertainment, music, educating – whether it’s an artist or a fan – and trying to provide technology and services that allow them to do that and have freedom and control.”

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) Entering 2022 with Momentum from Sustainability Efforts and the Building of Global Distribution Channels

 

• Flora Growth Corp. is a Canadian cannabis and wellness brand distributor operating from a cultivation base in central Colombia
• The company’s focus on sustainability guides its efforts to market products that are beneficial to their local communities as well as the world at large
• Market analysts predict 2022 will see the global CBD skin care market segment alone grow with a CAGR of 24.8 percent
• The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to drive expansion of online retail that affects the cosmetics sector as well as clothing, groceries and other avenues that may include the more-than-190 cannabis-derivative products produced by Flora Growth 

Plant-based wellness and lifestyle collective Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC) is entering 2022 with momentum from the past year’s aggressive growth campaign for its global cannabis-derivative brand distribution of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and nutraceuticals. 

While industry news has largely focused on M&A activity and questions about when the United States may grant federal legalization of cannabidiol (“CBD”) following the advance and then defeat of supportive banking measures in 2021, Canada-based Flora has been completing agreements with partners in numerous countries to expand its verticals from their cultivation origins in central Colombia. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a deleterious effect on the global sustainability agenda. An oil price crash made petroleum sources more attractive than alt fuels, the supply and demand of commodities faced challenges that drove price volatility, and seasonal reduction of infection levels has produced a renewed spike in environmental pollution (https://ibn.fm/vTBcC).

Flora Growth has prioritized value-chain sustainability among each of its brands, acting at a local level to establish products that will have a beneficial effect on communities and the world at large under its guiding principles. 

Flora’s core product, organic cannabis oil, comes from an inherently natural and sustainable process at the company’s cultivation site in central Colombia, where all-outdoor production is fueled by 12.5 hours of natural sunlight per day and natural water springs. A pesticide-free agronomic management system tailored to the area’s climate and condition further ensures a natural quality to the products. 

The Cosechemos Cultivation Facility includes a research and development lab set on a 100-hectare (247-acre) property. The company recently began filling the initial orders for its Mind Naturals and Awe CBD skincare brands in Spain and Mexico (https://ibn.fm/XUC6A). They expect to begin a distribution of medical cannabis products throughout Europe during the coming year thanks to a pathway established through an investment program with European Union GMP partner Hoshi International Inc. (https://ibn.fm/6dFJv).

European and Latin American markets for cannabis-derivative products are growing, and analysts at Allied Market Research issued a forecast shortly before Christmas that envisages the global CBD skin care market segment alone to grow from $633.6 million in 2018 to $3.48 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 24.8 percent (https://ibn.fm/MMHht).

“After months of preparation, our products meet all the needs of today’s consumers, and we are ready for new international markets. … Incorporating cutting edge formulations, rigorous safety standards and sustainable packaging, we are confident that our products are positioned to be among the best in the beauty industry,” Flora Beauty General Manager Andrew Restrepo stated when the Mind Naturals and Awe CBD orders were announced. 

The advance of Flora’s cosmetic brands builds on e-commerce agreements with SHOWFIELDS and GlossWire’s digital beauty marketplace, which were established in October. The Allied Market Research report anticipates growth in the e-commerce segment with a CAGR of 27.4 percent by 2026 as consumers increasingly turn to online access and distribution portals to receive products at their doorsteps.

Forbes predicts that 2022 will “bring a digital revolution to retail” as department stores, chain stores and even grocery retailers see spiking sales figures in their internet sales, and CBD-based cosmetics are expected to ride that trend (https://ibn.fm/fK268).

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – SmartDeFi Innovating FEGtoken Ecosystem

 SmartDeFi is being recognized by investors as one of the most secure means of investing in the crypto sector for several reasons, including the liquidity for launched tokens being locked within the token’s smart contract so that funding can never be “rugged.” In addition, SmartDeFi features a “baseline value,” the first-of-its-kind technology that acts as a virtual gold standard. Once SmartDeFi tokens are launched, they are immediately available for trading using the FEGexchange at FEGex.com. With SmartDeFi, a small fee is charged with each transaction. That fee is routed to an asset backing pool, which grows with time and can never decrease. That means that tokens using SmartDeFi protocol have a consistent intrinsic value that will never change, regardless of market conditions. Investors gain access to the value of their tokens by “burning” them, which sends the tokens to a “dead wallet” where they cannot be recovered, destroying them and providing investors with their share of the total backing. “The SmartDeFi protocol is exciting from a developer’s standpoint,” the announcement stated. “Developers launching a token using the protocol are not required to code. The FEGdeployer application requires developers to enter only basic information for transactions fees, asset backing percentages, etc., and can successfully launch a token in minutes. Developers have the option to import an existing liquidity pool or utilize FEG’s presale functionality. Actions required to launch a presale are equally as simple, giving developers complete control over the number of tokens, maximum buy limits, owner’s share, etc.”

Friendable Inc. (FDBL) CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr. Shares Backstory, Path to Fan Pass Live and Lessons Learned

 

• In an interview with Authority Magazine’s Charlie Katz, Rositano Jr. discussed the early years of the Fan Pass Live artist platform and how he and his brother (and business partner) found their niche with music and entertainment
• The interview includes an in-depth look at Rositano Jr.’s approach and unique business model, as well as what his role as CEO of Friendable and Fan Pass implies
• Rositano Jr. also offered valuable tips and advice for budding entrepreneurs, including the things he wished he knew before he ever became a founder

In a recent interview conducted by Charlie Katz for Authority Magazine, Robert A. Rositano Jr., co-founder, and CEO of mobile technology and marketing company Friendable (OTC: FDBL), added his story to the ongoing “5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Became A Founder” series (https://ibn.fm/86lxN). Authority Magazine offers in-depth interviews with those who hold “authority” in industries such as business, pop culture, wellness, tech, and more. Katz is the Executive Creative Director at Bitbean Software Development.

In his role as the CEO, Rositano Jr. described what it is like to be an executive for the Fan Pass Live streaming platform and how it differs from other executives within the company’s infrastructure. During the interview, he summed up his role as one that requires him to “wear many hats, always staying in front of the operations and actionable items that need to happen daily, yet being hands-on enough to ensure they are being executed.”

Rositano Jr. broke down his role into seven different bullet points:

• Providing customers, investors, and shareholders the painted picture and projection of the company’s vision
• Always seeking out new partners and opportunities
• Screening new ideas and concepts within team members that help to spark testing and creativity for the platform
• Being in charge of fundraising and capital raising efforts
• Driving new initiatives for revenue generation
• Reviewing, monitoring, and adjusting the company’s budget and spending continually
• Keeping track and monitoring the results

After the two discussed his role as CEO within the company, the true nature of the interview is addressed – the “5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Started.” Here is a highlight of what Rositano Jr. said in response to the question:

1. Projections are only projections – don’t begin your business on an idea (or conjectures)
2. The industry is not going to go as fast as you want it to – it’s a process
3. Always add a week of lead time to everything – even if your attorney tells you “tomorrow”
4. Keep testing (start with small audiences) and keep improving until it works
5. Don’t try to accomplish everything before you launch – you will never get off the ground

Rositano Jr. began the interview by discussing his backstory, underlining how his love of music was only the start of his passion for the music industry. It all began when he was a teenager, and his brother (and business partner) Dean Rositano formed a band in middle school. Rositano Jr. was involved in small productions, performances, and even accompanied the band to venues along the Sunset Strip in Hollywood – all before any of the members reached their 18th birthday. It was this experience that deeply instilled a love for the industry and reaffirmed that he and his brother would always have music or entertainment in their career, “no matter what.”

The Fan Pass CEO also talked about how this passion for music and the industry as a whole which led to the creation of the Fan Pass platform and its focus on increasing artists’ revenue-generating opportunities while giving fans better and more affordable access to the artists they love. “We understood the amount of lost revenue each artist has, simply based on a limited number of fans who can afford or be in a particular city to attend a backstage meet & greet,” he explained.

So the Rositanos approached these artists with the Fan Pass Live invention as some sort of “fly on the wall” for backstage experiences and livestream content that fans could view right from the palm of their hands/mobile device. “The concept was sound, the artists loved it and it was envisioned as a $2.99 monthly subscription (about the cost of a few songs from your favorite artist) this would create an entirely new revenue stream, as Fan Pass would be sharing a portion of the $2.99 with each artist on a recurring monthly basis,” Rositano Jr. said.

Toward the conclusion of the interview, Rositano Jr. was asked about his favorite life lesson quote – “If you don’t quit… you can’t fail.” This quote has held true in many aspects of Robert’s business ventures. His lesson was learned when he was essentially sold short in his sale of “America’s Biggest,” which could have caused the company to fail – but here Friendable stands today, offering the Fan Pass artist streaming platform to help budding musicians and the fans that follow them have a universal stage to interact and showcase talent.
