ExQ® Brings You Superpower Hour

ExQ® Brings You Superpower Hour

“ExQ® Superpower Hour is a fun way to teach students the importance of practicing self-awareness so they can understand their Superpowers (strengths) and challenges to build confidence, empathy and develop a sense of purpose!” Sucheta Kamath, Founder & CEO, ExQ®

Sucheta Kamath, Founder and CEO of ExQ®, a personalized training curriculum designed to teach Executive Function, shares a free Student Learning Exercise: ExQ® Superpower Hour. During the recent closure of many schools related to COVID-19, many parents and teachers are seeking resources to help with the immediate need for activities that can be implemented at home, and the ExQ® Superpower Hour is a quick, free, and easy activity that provides a framework to promote Executive Function through self-reflection.

Sucheta Kamath and her team will be offering teachers a complimentary classroom exercise called, ExQ® Superpower Hour. A fun way to teach students the importance of practicing self-awareness so they can understand their Superpowers (strengths) and challenges to build confidence, empathy and develop a sense of purpose. Here is a three-step process to guide teachers as well as parents to introduce the concept of self-reflection to their students:

1. Explore Superpower Traits

ExQ believes a superpower is a natural ability or talent that can be enhanced to develop stronger habits and flexible mindsets. During this part of the exercise, parents or teachers will help the students begin to identify their own Superpowers using a Superpower Menu to inspire self-reflection and provide conversation starters to help initiate discussions about strengths and challenges.

2. Empower Super Self-Awareness

ExQ believes guided self-reflection leads to more effective future strategies. During the second part of the ExQ® Superpower Hour, parents or teachers will ask students to imagine ways they will channel their superpower to achieve their personal best especially given these changes to their learning environment.

3. Educate Students about Executive Function

ExQ believes that when students know more about their strengths and challenges, they can effectively guide their effort towards mastering their Executive Function. During the third part of the ExQ® Superpower Hour students will be guided to take a long-view and to think about how their superpower could help them become the person they want to be.

FitnessOnDemand Launches FLEX: Turnkey Mobile Content Solution for Club Operators


“Nothing should get in the way of your workout whether it’s a busy or disrupted daily schedule or the inability to get to your gym…”

FitnessOnDemand just made it super simple for any club operator to offer their members custom fitness content without the need for integration into current club systems or installing any new hardware. Introducing FLEX, designed as a new turnkey solution for clubs to offer their members custom fitness content and seamless programming wherever they may be: in studio, elsewhere in the club, at home or on the go.

“Last year we met with club operators at IHRSA 2019 where this was one of their biggest asks of us,” says Uday Anumalachetty, divisional vice president, FitnessOnDemand. “Every club operator wants to extend the member experience with their club’s brand beyond the club walls, right now more so than ever. But, the vast majority of clubs today don’t have their own club specific app which means when members are away from the club, they’re using YouTube or another fitness app to give them flexible workout options. That’s a missed opportunity to lock your member into your brand, and it’s what FLEX is all about – seamless fitness content and experience for every member wherever they chose to start or continue their workouts.”

FLEX enables club operators to give all or just select members, based on their membership type, access to hundreds of curated classes, specific workouts, stretches, cool downs and wellness content from around the world. Content creators include Jillian Michaels and FitFusion, SH1FT, Sweat Factor, Zumba & Strong by Zumba, Daily Burn, GymRa and many more. FitnessOnDemand club customers can simply add the new FLEX off-site access option to their current systems and provide either 50, 200 or 500 licenses to their members. Enterprise level agreements in excess of 500 licenses are also available by working on a custom basis with FitnessOnDemand. As part of this launch, all new FitnessOnDemand GROUP system orders will automatically receive 500 user licenses of FLEX free to use until June 1, 2020, providing instant off-site access for their members.

“Nothing should get in the way of your workout whether it’s a busy or disrupted daily schedule or the inability to get to your gym,” says Andrew Evenson, senior director operations and brand strategy, FitnessOnDemand. “With FLEX members gets instant access to the same library of content and classes wherever they are. We’re extending the exact programming they’d experience in studio beyond the walls of the club. That’s a win for clubs who get to engage their members with their brand and programming, and an absolute convenience for members who can’t get to the gym but don’t want to deal with the endless, disorganized disarray of workouts on YouTube or other apps.”

The new introduction is the latest step in FitnessOnDemand’s Virtually Anywhere model, focusing on creating true omni-channel delivery for every club, gym and wellness center customer and their memberships. Interested club operators should contact FitnessOnDemand for a personal, virtual demo. More information at http://www.FitnessOnDemand247.com.

American Shaman Debuts First-Of-Its-Kind Sleep Product


One of the most common issues facing people today is a lack of quality sleep,” says CEO Vince Sanders. “We developed CBNight to help people get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.

American Shaman officially unveils its first sleep product, CBNight, on Friday, March 13 on World Sleep Day. The water-soluble tincture is the first American Shaman item to focus on cannabinol (CBN), a minor cannabinoid tied to several distinct sleep benefits.

“One of the most common issues facing people today is a lack of quality sleep,” says CEO Vince Sanders. “We developed CBNight to help people get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.”

While better known cannabinoids, primarily THC and CBD, attach to CB1 and CB2 cell receptors, CBN also interacts with the TRPA-1, TRPV-2, TRPV-3, and TRPV-4 cellular ion channels. This results in a state of relaxation that supports consistent, deep sleep. Users report feeling refreshed, without the grogginess that accompanies other, more traditional sleep aids.

“This represents an exciting evolution in the development of cannabinoid products,” continues Sanders. “We’ve already seen phenomenal success in the utilization of our proprietary nanotechnology with CBD products. By applying this knowledge to CBNight, we’ve been able to create a tincture that has unsurpassed bioavailability, making it the first CBN oil of its kind on the market.”

CBNight, in accordance with Section 297A of the 2018 Farm Bill, contains less than 0.3 percent THC and has no psychoactive effects. CBD American Shaman recommends taking it with 8oz of water 30 minutes before bed. And, because of CBNight’s sleep-supporting properties, users should not operate heavy machinery or drive after taking it.

About American Shaman

Based out of Kansas City, Missouri, American Shaman has been making high quality cannabinoid tinctures and products since 2014. The company was one of the first to utilize nanotechnology to increase the bioavailability of CBD. Additionally, American Shaman is one of only a handful of CBD companies to receive certification from the US Hemp Authority for its manufacturing and quality control processes.

Puffy Cloud Comfort Now Available in Canada


Puffy Mattress Launches in Canada

Puffy Launches in Canada

Expanding our reach to Canada is a direct result of growing demand from the region. We had many customers anticipating the launch of puffy.ca, and we are already excited about the results. Our launch in Canada enables us to bring better sleep and an easy buying experience to even more people.

Puffy, makers of the Most Comfortable Mattress, has officially launched in Canada, the latest move in the company’s 2020 expansion strategy.

Puffy is a mattress company known for Cloud Comfort and the dreamy feeling of Sleeping On A Cloud.

Since launching in the US, the online mattress retailer has built a loyal customer base of comfort-loving fans who are achieving a level of sleep they never thought possible.

Determined to meet the growing demand for the premium comfort of luxurious memory foam mattresses and accessories, Puffy’s launch in Canada is the start of a broader expansion strategy to help more people achieve optimal sleep.

“Expanding our reach to Canada is a direct result of growing demand from the region. We had many customers anticipating the launch of puffy.ca, and we are already excited about the results. Our launch in Canada enables us to bring better sleep and an easy buying experience to even more people.”

“We are looking forward to continuing this growth in new regions in 2020 and beyond,” said Arthur Andreasyan, CEO at Puffy.

Canada Made Manufacturing

Puffy’s launch in Canada extends further than the brand’s e-commerce activation. Puffy went live in Canada, complete with ‘Made in Canada’ mattress manufacturing.

This commitment to utilizing resources from the region is an essential aspect of Puffy’s promise to customers.

One hundred percent of Puffy Mattresses are made in Canada. This includes the Cloud Cover, the Cloud Foam, assembly, and finishing.

It’s all Canadian made with Puffy’s signature Cloud Comfort, a feeling that thousands of American sleepers have fallen in love with.

Much of Puffy’s success to date in the United States stems from the company’s commitment to luxurious comfort, at an accessible price point, that does not compromise on quality.

It was only natural for the Puffy team to bring that same guarantee of comfort and quality to Canadians.

“Our launch in Canada with a Made in Canada label was a non-negotiable. It’s our goal to redefine the rules of comfort and quality sleep, and to do this using resources in the region itself is exactly how we like to operate.”

“Manufacturing in Canada and creating local teams helps us do more for the economy and connect with customers on a deeper level. We wanted to extend the exact level of detail we provide in the United States to the Canada region. We believe customers prefer to buy products made at home,” said Arthur Andreasyan, CEO at Puffy.

Canada’s Best Rated Mattress

Puffy’s memory foam cooling mattress range has won numerous best mattress awards for irresistible cloud comfort, enhanced support, and it’s cooling properties which help people regulate temperature for the best sleep in every season.

Puffy has accumulated a large trophy cabinet of accolades, including Best Mattress 2020, Best Memory Foam Mattress 2020, and Best Cloud-Like Feel Mattress, among many others.

While the mattress industry boasts many ‘better sleep’ experiences, Puffy’s positioning is consistent and concentrated on what the brand considers the essential elements of good sleep.

Not confusing science or technology, but rather, contouring comfort, targeted support, and modern aesthetics so consumers can create a bedroom they love spending time in.

More Than Mattresses

Puffy’s growth from mattress company to bedroom company is noticeable with an increasing range of bedding, accessories, and bedroom furniture designed to fulfill the same desires for luxurious, comfortable, and supportive sleep.

Other trending products in the Puffy range include the Adjustable Bed Frame, the ultra-soft Puffy Comforter, and new-release silky 100% Bamboo Bed Sheets.

The 504 Loan Administered by TMC Financing Prevails


Vicente Solbes and Martina Solbes-Moran

“The support we received from TMC was unbeatable. This was the biggest loan we’ve ever taken out – and the only loan we have actually felt good about! We’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

Vicente Solbes and Martina Solbes-Moran are the proud owners of four Gold’s Gym franchises around the coast of Central California. They opened their first gym in 2002 in the Santa Cruz County town of Watsonville and have been hooked ever since.

After nearly 20 years of leasing property for their gyms, the power couple decided to make the switch from leasing to owning. While Vicente and Martina are veteran business owners and operators, they were new to the world commercial property ownership.

With the help of an SBA 504 Loan from TMC Financing, the Solbes purchased the 14,000 square foot building they were leasing in Watsonville for $4,000,000 and only 10 percent down. By utilizing the SBA 504 Program, they also obtained a below-market interest rate, fixed for 25 years.

“Owning our building is so beneficial to our business,” Solbes states. “The flexibility is so much better, I don’t have answer to a landlord, the tax savings are great, and we have stability. All these aspects combined make a huge difference.”

Their gym, located at 120 Westridge Drive, features state of the art amenities and offers a variety of classes including muscle cardio, circuit training, Zumba, and Cycle.

Coincidently, while the Solbes were closing on the Watsonville property, they were also in the process of purchasing the building their Hollister gym was operating out of, but for this project they utilized the SBA’s 7a program.

According to Bruce Whitaker, TMC Financing’s senior vice president of business development who facilitated the 504 deal, both SBA programs can be utilized by small business owners looking to purchase fixed assets, such as real estate or equipment, for their business. TMC Financing is the nation’s No. 1 provider of U.S. Small Business Administration 504 loans. The company has helped more than 5,000 business owners own their own real estate.

“Both the 504 loan and the 7a loan can be utilized by small business owners to purchase real estate or equipment for their business,” explained Whitaker. “If your business is in need of working capital, the 7a may be your best bet.

“However, if you need capital to buy or construct a building, the 504 loan terms beat those of the 7a loan. The 504 interest rate is always below-market and fixed while the 7a loan is often variable and tied to prime.”

Solbes found himself in agreement with Whitaker and stated he had a much better experience with the 504 loan.

“The 504 process was much shorter, the fees were better and our interest rate is a heck of a lot better,” said Solbes. “The support we received from TMC was unbeatable. This was the biggest loan we’ve ever taken out – and the only loan we have actually felt good about! We’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

Vicente and Martina Solbes are passionate about their work and have no plans on slowing down. The Solbes have an expansion plan in place and intend to open another Gold’s Gym in Soledad, California soon.

“We love being gym owners,” said Solbes. “We have the privilege of making a positive difference on people’s lives. We feel lucky to play a part in their growth and transformation. Owning our buildings gives us the security of being here for our members for the long haul.”

About SBA 504 real estate loans

The U.S. Small Business Administration 504 loan program allows small-business owners to finance commercial real estate and other fixed assets with long-term, below-market, fixed interest rates. SBA 504 loans can be used to finance the total project cost (TPC), which can include the purchase price, construction/renovations, equipment, soft costs and closing costs. A typical 504 loan project requires a down payment of only 10 percent of the TPC from the borrower, with the remaining amount split between a first mortgage provided by a commercial lender and a second mortgage provided by a certified development company (CDC). By enabling owners to keep their capital working to grow the business and create jobs, the 504 program provides long-term stability to both businesses and communities.

About TMC Financing

Founded in 1981, TMC Financing is the nation’s No. 1 provider of SBA 504 commercial real estate financing for fiscal year 2019. The company has funded projects worth about $10 billion across California and Nevada. Nearly 6,000 businesses have benefited from this financing, resulting in the creation of an estimated 60,000 jobs.
