Episode 550
On New to The Street, The Sustainable Green Team, Ltd.'s (OTCQX: SGTM) ($SGTM) Tony Raynor, CEO and Founder, talks with TV Host Jane King from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio. SGTM is revolutionizing sustainability using cutting-edge technology, converting waste into viable products. Agricultural companies can meet their sustainability goals using SGTM's products and services. Tony explains to the viewers the relationship between SGTM and VRM BioLogik Group and how the partnership has grown, integrating VRM's technology and SGTM's manufacturing capabilities. Over the last forty years, VRM has developed "Zero-Net" carbon sequestration technologies that can help make a positive environmental impact on the plant. HumiSoil is one VRM product that granted SGTM exclusive rights to manufacture and market the product in North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean Islands. In 2023, SGTM stockpiled HumiSoil inventories to aggressively market the product throughout 2024. HumiSoil is a mix of humus and a catalyst that can restore soil's organic nutrients and create water hydration, and when applied, it dramatically improves crop yields. SGTM-VRM, LLC, is a wholly-owned subsidiary with the "Master License" to deploy VRM's intellectual properties into manufactured sustainable product lines. The objective in 2024 is to scale operations from pilot programs to full-scale marketing and sales in the USA and globally. The Company has a YouTube channel with many informative videos about the Company and its sustainable initiatives.

New to The Street's "The Business of Blockchain" segment with TV Host Nisa Amoils is on the topic, "Universal Basic Income (UBI): Blockchain Use Cases," sponsored by Bitdeer Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BTDR) ($BTDR) ("Bitdeer"). Two guests, Scott Santens, author and UBI Specialist, and Anna Stone, Executive Director of GoodDollar, explain UBI practices and how to use blockchain technology for UBI initiatives. Scott Santens talks with Nisa about why UBI is an amount of cash protected universally, unconditionally, periodically, and individually. Scott's UBI methodology was the basis of former Democratic Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang's UBI proposal. Governmental programs using a UBI model can reduce and change welfare programs to eliminate chronic poverty and income inequalities. Scott feels even people with jobs fear not making enough money from economic downturns and catastrophes, adding psychological stress. Technological advances in automation and AI platforms can eliminate employment, adding additional stress. Lowering stress and insecurities happens when a UBI is in place; individuals develop comfort knowing that money is available to help. From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, Anna Stone, Executive Director of GoodDollar, expands further on UBI and how the non-profit blockchain entity is making a difference in 181 countries. GoodDollar's digital blockchain UBI platform has served around 630,000 people, giving them GoodDollar's protocol G$ tokens that convert to cash or for business purposes. The UBI blockchain approach is unique, and it solves the problems of capital access and reducing poverty. GoodDollar's "Climate Collective" platform provides tokens for those affected by man-made and natural catastrophes. The blockchain, a trusted technology platform, can provide immediate aid to relief efforts individually, giving timely direct payments. Many governmental programs and traditional non-profits take time to institute programs, and often, misallocations of money and resources unfortunately occur. Additionally, GoodDollar pays people who provide environmental services, working to improve climate-related issues. Universal Basic Income can work successfully when programs and technology come together, making global changes for the betterment of humankind.

From Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, New to The Street's TV Host Jane King sits with Moshe Fishman, Director of Insurtech & Operations of Reliance Global Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: RELI) (NASDAQ: RELIW) ($RELI). As an insurance Company, RELI is transforming the insurance agency business model using AI and cloud computing modeling and technologies. Moshe gives his background, which started in the travel industry but eventually moved into selling home, auto, and life insurance products. Moshe immediately saw the insurance sector lacking in advancements in technology integrations. Most insurance applications and policies are in pen and paper, a long, cumbersome process. Moshe mapped out a technology platform and approached insurance companies with his tech innovation. Reliance Global Group liked his approach and hired him, and after 3-years, Moshe and the RELI team developed and marketed the RELI Exchange Partner Network for insurance agencies. Soon after, the team rolled out the 5minuteinsure.com platform for customers looking for insurance coverage. The Company has around 480 agency partners using the RELI network. Moshe invites agents and others to learn more about the Company; visit the website https://relianceglobalgroup.com/. Customers who want insurance quotes can use RELI's 5minuteinsure.com site.

Joseph Kurczodyna, CEO of BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. (OTCPINK: BEGI) ($BEGI) from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, sits with New to The Street's TV Host Jane King. BEGI created a digital blockchain platform to revolutionize three financial sectors: digital trading, capital raises, and corporate governance. Joseph talks about pending patents, its recently issued 20-year US Patent, and its significance for the Company's business. With the USSEC giving Bitcoin ETF approvals, the marketplace is opening for more blockchain innovations. BEGI created its BlackStar Digital Trading Platform (BDTP™), a centralized blockchain platform for digitally trading public companies' stocks. Joseph approached the USSEC about the platform a few years ago, and the USSEC approved him to develop a demo platform to show how the blockchain concept works. It took him two years to build the demo, and then the USSEC took two more years to review the demo platform. The Company made a complete 1933 Registration Statement (FORM S-1), fully outlining the Company's business, which was approved in July 2023 by the USSEC. BDTP™ is a centralized blockchain that can fully integrate into a stock broker’s trading platform, meeting or exceeding US SEC and FINRA regulatory requirements and trading compliances. BEGI can operate without human interaction, with the blockchain recording all trade transactions. In the future, the Company would like to have its blockchain platform run on Global X, a fully automated stock trading platform. The Company will recapitalize itself and seeks strategic partners to mainstream its platform.

New to The Street's TV Host Jane King from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio talks with David Luci, the President/CEO of Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) ($ACXP). As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical business, ACXP is developing a new class of antibiotics for life-threatening bacterial infections. David updates viewers on the Company's FDA Phase 2 clinical trial on the Ibezapolstat drug, a treatment for patients with Clostridioides difficile Infections (CDI). Based on positive data from Phase 2a and Phase 2b, management is now going forward with the FDA Phase 3. The Company compared its top-line data with the currently used standard-of-care drugs in the marketplace, and Ibezapolstat has impressive positive results. Phases 2a and 2b confirmed that the drug had success in 25 out of 26 patients, approximately 96% success with no reinfections. Competitor drugs have been used for decades to treat CDI, but the reinfection rates are very high. ACXP's Ibezapolstat study results have shown to combat reinfections effectively. Based on the data and other publications regarding the market size for newly discovered and effective treatment of CDI, ACXP believes Ibezapolstat could be a market worth over $1B. David explains how the Company will fund its FDA Phase 3 study and, upon successful approval, will leverage data/results for future approval(s) with the European Medicines Agency. Decades-old antibacterial drugs are not working due to changes in the molecular composition of CDI. Thousands of people worldwide die annually, with many catching CDI in hospitals and nursing homes. Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. believes its Ibezapolstat drug is the next generation for effectively treating CDI.

New to The Street TV airs its "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security – The Weekly Hack" Segment with TV Host and Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry and internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) ($SWISF) (Sekur®). In the first Q1 of last year, 2023, hackers stole over 6.41 million private data records. You can expect the hackers in 2024 to be ready and willing to steal as much personal data as possible. Alain provides some preventative actions that can lessen the chances of being hacked. He recommends never using free WiFi services and not using free Big Tech emails and messaging services when transmitting secure and private information. Alain recommends using virtual private networks (VPN) if they are safe and encrypted, like the SekurVPN service. Unfortunately, some larger VPN providers have tracked end-users' web traffic and sold that information to others. SekurVPN never tracks subscribers, and the IP address is Swiss. Switzerland has the strictest privacy laws globally. Sekur subscribers' data is not sold or retransmitted to any 3rd parties. At affordable prices, Sekur.com can offer enterprises, businesses, and individuals a secure and private encrypted close-loop e-communication platform. SekurMail subscribers get 2-email addresses that they can change often, limiting internet exposure.
