COVID-19 Dream Body: Gio Nation Goes In-Depth About The Pandemic & The Mental Effects Of Quarantine

Gio Nation

The COVID-19 outbreak spread worldwide at an alarming rate as 2019 ended. By 2020, the world itself came to a grinding halt. Every industry sustained heavy losses as production stopped and people went under lockdown. While everyone is staying at home to weather this pandemic, the fantastic American singer-songwriter, Gio Nation, talks about how he was able to use all of his free time to let his creativity flourish. Even if quarantined, Gio explains that it doesn’t mean one can’t grow and learn from this experience. For Gio the pandemic was an opportunity to hone his craft, develop new skills, & improve his mental health. Gio admits he also became obsessed with physical fitness. Plunging himself into HIT training & achieving the body he's always dreamt of having. “ We finally have the chance to sit with ourselves without all the usual manic minutiae of living in the 2020’s,” Gio Nation says, “ We have an abundance of time & an abundance of knowledge at our fingertips!” Every creative person needs two things to work on their craft, time and a distraction-free environment. This lockdown offers up that chance on a silver platter. Gio Nation also encourages all to use this time to their advantage as well as focus on both their physical & mental health during this time. “ I feel like Bradley Cooper in Limitless in the pandemic. It’s like I took that pill, and I now have the mental space and freedom to create and make music; it's what I love to do. My creativity has gone through the roof because what else are you gonna do? Binge-watch Netflix? You've already done that for 12 hours!” – Gio Nation. COVID-19 has given us a fresh perspective on the ways of the world. Every artist got hit hard when all the venues, concerts, and bars closed since nobody had a platform to perform anymore. Gio Nation shares how he went from having too many gigs to handle to none at all. That’s why in this digital age having a solid social media presence is good for business. Many things can be achieved through the genius of technology. Working from home, online concerts, online shopping, online classes, online medical care, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg; it is simply astounding. “ The internet is the new frontier. It's been the new frontier, but I think people finally get it. You can spread art like a virus, and it can reach every pocket of the world. We knew that before but now we really know it. The digital platform is the frontier.” replied Gio Nation when asked what lessons will be learned from the COVID mess in the music industry. With an idealistic point of view of the world, Gio’s biggest dream is to eliminate all the negative thoughts and spread love and positivity. He dreams of inspiring people through his music and guiding them on how they can use their creative juices to make the most out of their lives. Gio Nation is a rising singer-songwriter, producer, and a thrilling performer from America, strongly influenced by pop culture. Hailing from a lower-middle-class family in Connecticut, Gio found his vocation in writing and performing at 7 years old, then found a flair for writing songs. His journey through depression, substance abuse, and even homelessness has given him a positive outlook on life that shows in his vibrant and ebullient personality.

SURGING DAILY FANTASY SPORTS PLATFORM STATHERO’S NEWEST INNOVATIVE GAME PLAYS DRIVES PLAYER GROWTH WITH EASY AND LUCRATIVE NEW CONTESTS.

StatHero

StatHero, the next gen Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) platform with unprecedented winning percentages and an emphasis on skill over luck, is announcing the easiest, fastest way to get in on sports betting action with their ‘ PICK’EM’ games. StatHero is also offering players odds multipliers in select ‘ HEAD TO HEAD ’ house lineups. StatHero’s platform continues to breathe fresh new life into the DFS space with an 884% growth in annual revenue while still having their players clocking over a 50% winning percentage. The startup who has seemingly cracked the code between high player winning percentage and company profitability is launching another innovative new gameplay with the intent of solving the biggest issue for the daily fantasy player, their lack of time. StatHero’s PICK’EM game play is the fastest way to play the most familiar fantasy format against the house. Each contest simply pits two pre-selected and pre-posted fantasy teams against each other and players simply select which side they think will score more points. It’s been an immediate hit, especially in states where sports gaming has yet to be legalized. StatHero remains the ONLY independent fantasy sports company playable in 34 states (with more on the horizon) and with their PICK’EM gameplay players in those states no longer need to sift through hundreds of players to create a lineup. One click to pick a winner. It’s fantasy gameplay that fans love without the hours of analysis or tough decisions on who to start. Jason Jaramillo, CEO of StatHero: “We take a lot of pride in keeping things simple, fun and easy. And while the convergence of fantasy sports and sports gambling can be difficult, we think this new offering truly removes the intimidation and stigma surrounding daily fantasy sports and sports gaming altogether.” The breakthrough DFS platform has also upped the ante with their flagship ‘HEAD TO HEAD’ (H2H) contests, by offering up to 10x odds on select H2H contests to test players’ skills with bigger payouts. StatHero has launched a new challenge that gives players higher payouts on their plays if they can beat posted lineups with a lineup of a lesser salary. Putting players in control has been a hallmark of StatHero’s innovation and this new option is no different, giving players the ability to select the odds they want to play for. StatHero now offers 4 unique ways to play DFS against the house that appeal to players of all skill levels and risk profiles: PICK’EM, HEAD TO HEAD, PARLAYS and SURVIVOR POOLS. All games allow DFS players to go up against house lineups instead of long odds contests against unknown users or bogus prop plays. StatHero recently passed their $4 million Series A round of funding and is focusing on their Series B round of funding that is on the horizon for this year. For media/press inquiries on, please contact: Dianne Quirante, dianne@emcbowery.com About STATHERO Combining the best of fantasy sports and sports gaming, StatHero is a first of its kind daily fantasy sports platform. The company has exploded in growth since founded in 2019 in large part due it’s simple gameplay, low commitment and instant gratification. Stathero uses the familiar fantasy sports based format to allow players to compete against posted lineups across a variety of professional sports and game types including Survivor Pools, Head-to-Head and Fantasy Parlays. Their patent pending gameplay gives players an advantage unlike any other in fantasy sports. It’s truly daily fantasy the way it was meant to be played - one-on-one.

HowToBet road to the Superbowl - It’s the underdog year

HowToBet.com

After 272 regular season National Football League games (the most ever), and another 12 playoff contests, we are pretty sure that most of you know How to Bet. But with the biggest game still left, now is not the time to get cocky: this is the time to seek even more guidance, as you try to navigate the betting market that is the Super Bowl. Thankfully for all bettors, whether they are new to the game (welcome Louisiana, and of course, all my New York people) or grizzled veterans of the sports betting new wave (since way back in 2018), How to Bet podcast co-hosts Daryl Fein and Sean “The Genius” Miller (as well as the whole cast behind the scenes) will work until the final minutes before kickoff on Sunday, February 13 trying to give bettors the most up-to-date betting information. “The weeks off before the Super Bowl are always loaded with hype,” Fein said. “We are going to try and break through that hype and come up with solid prop bets, break down the game, and lead you to the money.” The regular season was very interesting, but was just an appetizer for what has happened so far in the NFL playoffs, which many have already proclaimed as the best in the history of the league. The Wild Card Round got rid of the pretenders, and set up the most intriguing 36 hours of action ever: all four Divisional Round games went down to field goal on the final play of the games, with three won, and a fourth heading to overtime. Both top seeds, Green Bay in the NFC and Tennessee in the AFC, fell, which set up two fantastic Conference Championship contests. Cincinnati, which you could have gotten before the 2021 season at odds of +6500 (65/1) to win the AFC and +20000 (200/1) to win the Super Bowl, stunned Super Bowl favorites Kansas City in the AFC Championship game, winning 27-24 in overtime to clinch its first trip to the Super Bowl since the 1988 season. That victory won bettors who backed the Bengals early, and even once they clinched the AFC North, a lot of money: a win in the Super Bowl will make some early backers very wealthy. “What can you say about the Bengals, other than they definitely earned it,” Miller said. “Of course, I had backed Kansas City on my main ticket way back in October at 16/1, so I was a little bit shocked. But when Andy Reid did not kick that field goal at the end of the half, I thought it could come back to haunt the Chiefs. It did. “But this guy Joe Burrow is a winner. Ja’Marr Chase is a winner. Both led LSU to its best season ever and the National Championship two years ago, and have a chance to add another trophy to their haul. You have to remember, Burrow tore his ACL last November in his rookie season, after he came in with so much hype as the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. There were a lot of people who said he was a one-season wonder in college, and now he is the first top pick to go to the Super Bowl in two years or less. “Cincinnati won four games last season, and is beat up all over the place. Wait until they get healthy!” And then, of course, you have the Los Angeles Rams, who became the second team ever to host a Super Bowl (and the second in a row after Tampa Bay). Stan Kroekne gets to show off this fantastic new SoFi Stadium, and possibly win a NFL title. LA had to beat the San Francisco 49ers for the first time in seven games to do it, and it was a titanic struggle, but they got back to the Super Bowl for the second time in four years after mortgaging the future to win now. “Look, if the Rams did not win the NFC–and maybe Super Bowl LVI–this would have been a disaster of a year,” Miller said. “They picked up Super Bowl LV MVP Von Miller, Jalen Ramsey, Odell Beckham Jr., Matthew Stafford, and others to make this run, and it has worked out. Just. I am not sold on the play calling right now, but I think we all knew LA would be one of the favorites to win the NFC before the season. “I think this has the potential to be one of the best Super Bowl games in recent memory, and it is going to be a hot ticket in Los Angeles.” Speaking of the ticket prices, right now, they are going for north of $6,000. With the Bengals in for the first time since the 1988 season, and the Rams hosting, there is going to be a lot of big money changing hands for those lanyards with the big tickets in them. About HowToBet.com HowToBet.com offers one of the world’s most comprehensive betting guides that can be accessed via a user-friendly web app. Its mission is to help make online betting safe, fun and as easy as performing a search on the web.

EBY - the Authority in Seamless Underwear - Welcomes Rosario Dawson As Latest Investor

EBY

Women’s empowerment & tech apparel company EBY welcomes actress & entrepreneur Rosario Dawson as the brand’s latest investor. In September, EBY announced that they raised $6M in Series A funding, led by Dallas based investment firm Colt Ventures. The brand is pleased to complete their Series A financing with Dawson, joining past investors like venture capitalist firm Azure Capital (which boasts a portfolio that comprises of Native Deodorants, Bouqs and Sleep 8), Robert DiRomualdo (Chairman of Ulta Beauty), Ken Goldman (former CFO of Yahoo), Duncan Neiderauer (former CEO of the New York Stock Exchange) and Venus Williams. An entrepreneur herself, Rosario Dawson’s commitment to EBY is not her first venture into the lifestyle space - she is also the Co-Founder of female-artisan-produced, CFDA + Lexus Fashion* Initiative-winning fashion brand Studio189. EBY Co-Founder Renata M. Black and Dawson have been friends for years, establishing a resilient bond over their life-long unwavering dedication to the empowerment of women, and being fellow co-owners of Latinx founded businesses. EBY and Studio 189 have also partnered in the past in a product capacity - collaborating on a limited-edition release of special Studio 189 prints on EBY’s signature seamless undies. "I’ve long admired Renata’s strength as an innovative leader and very much believe in her mission of empowering women through microfinance. I’m excited to now be a part of this brand’s incredible growth and help Renata’s vision come to life.”- Rosario Dawson. EBY is utilizing the funding to introduce innovative products and adding real value at every touch point of the customer journey - continuing to honor the brand’s foundational mission of the empowerment of women through microfinance, small loans that enable an underprivileged woman to start or grow her own business. In turn, the woman becomes self-sufficient, breaking the cycle of poverty for herself and her children. By the end of 2022, EBY will have empowered 40,000 women and children out of poverty and into impact with close to 2 million dollars in microfinance funding. EBY repositions underwear as a tool for empowerment rather than one of seduction - as represented in their latest marketing campaign, ‘Feels Like This.’ The ‘Feels Like This’ Campaign is a post-pandemic social movement to ‘stop the scroll’ with a breath of emotion. ‘Feels Like This’ presents the sentiment people are scrolling for - encouraging them to embrace their ‘naked’emotions, enabling themselves to be ‘intimate’ again. The campaign features EBY’s innovative new Invisible Cotton 2.0 Collection - the first ever truly seamless cotton underwear that’s unlike any underwear on the market. The collection features cotton panties & bralettes that utilize EBY’s uniquely applied, no-slip-grip flocking technology. An upgraded fabric category for the brand, EBY spent the last year finding, testing and developing the best cotton blend fabric that they could apply their signature flocking to, in order to re-launch truly Invisible Cotton - an almost impossible feat for the fabric. EBY cotton seamless undies have a clean finish edge with no elastic, allowing for a seamless finish with no digging and no panty lines. The unique cotton-blend stretches with the wearer and never loses its shape. In addition to the Seamless Cotton Collection, EBY is launching additional premium collections, a period underwear, and a mesh collection throughout the rest of next year. “Throughout the years, Rosario and I have been in lock-step with our relentless and unapologetic pursuit of leaving this world better because we were here. What is so special about now, is that our paths have crossed - making us that much stronger and that much more unstoppable. I have had the fortune of calling her a friend, and have witnessed first-hand that she is a ride or die kind of lady. From the roles she plays, to the epic mother and entrepreneur she has become, everything she does has a transformative impact. With EBY it is no different. I am beyond thrilled to have her on side.” - Renata M. Black, Co-Founder Prices for the Seamless Cotton Collection range from $15-$45 For more information on EBY, please visit https://shop.join-eby.com. Co-founded by entrepreneur Renata M. Black in 2018, EBY is the ‘authority in seamless underwear’ - utilizing uniquely applied, no-slip-grip flocking technology to their seamless panties and bralettes. Body-inclusive EBY offers seamless underwear in sizes XS-4XL, servicing over 100 million plus-size customers who cannot shop at some of the largest retail stores in the U.S. EBY’s membership program also offers consumers an underwear subscription box with exclusive product and members-only pricing. The direct-to-consumer company’s core mission is female empowerment - not only through their offerings to their loyal subscribers and shoppers, but also by supporting women in poverty through the power of microfinance. 10% of proceeds from EBY underwear sales go to the Seven Bar Foundation to empower women through microfinance: small business loans to women in poverty that lead to incredible outcomes. By the end 2021, EBY will have impacted over 15,000 women and children out of poverty into business.

iTradeNetwork Introduces Next-Gen Freight Solution for a Smarter, Faster, Fresher Supply Chain

iTradeNetwork

iTradeNetwork, the industry’s largest perishables network with over 8,000 food and beverage trading partners, proudly announces its next-generation transportation solution Freight —a streamlined way to combat the chaos of the present landscape, improve delivery performance, and maximize margins on every order moving through the supply chain. The pandemic radically altered consumer food spending habits, with an extraordinary rise in e-commerce sales and omni-channel experiences. This demand shock, combined with labor and equipment shocks in the logistics sector, has left fresh suppliers, buyers, and carriers reeling from unprecedented capacity and rate pressures when moving food across the supply chain. For consumers, this has resulted in empty shelves and substitutions. With 33 percent more consumers cooking more at home, pressure on buyers to prevent out-of-stock situations will only grow and companies that plan procurement and freight together have an advantage over those looking at them separately. Meeting demand and maintaining customer loyalty starts with building smarter supply chains and solutions that help businesses make smarter decisions, like iTradeNetwork’s new Freight solution. Freight is designed to help growers, shippers and buyers make the best margin-saving decisions in a chaotic environment by providing complete route planning, cost visibility, load building and load optimization prior to sending a purchase order so logistics can be a part of the overall purchasing decision. Its intuitive look and feel powers a simplified experience that makes decision-making easier, faster and smarter. With Freight: Build more profitable loads: combine purchase orders to optimize loads with automatic recommendations and safeguards to prevent costly product loss, using a best-in-class, intuitive look and feel. Build loads faster: smarter optimization–predictive loads, automatic recommendations for the best carriers, and real-time updates. Maintain constant visibility: leverage Freight’s bird’s eye view of every aspect of a product’s journey. “In today’s environment, Wayne Gretzky’s advice comes to mind: ‘Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.’ We believe a lesson companies in the food supply chain can take from the pandemic is that logistics needs to be as proactive and strategic as possible instead of reactive. Our Freight solution moves it in that direction. Built on our industry-leading procurement platform, it simplifies combining purchase orders into loads, recommends optimal loads, and helps procurement and freight planners make the best decisions possible to secure the maximum margin on every purchase order,” said Nathan Romney, chief product officer for iTradeNetwork. To learn more about Freight, visit itradenetwork.com/itradefreight/ or contact sales@itradnetwork.com. ABOUT ITRADENETWORK iTradeNetwork, Inc.
