DJ Khaled and Endexx OTC:EDXC Make Multiple HeadlinesMiami, Florida Jan 28, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - FThe Ritz Herald published news today entitled, IS DJ KHALED THE KING OF INFLUENCERS? The Herald makes the case that DJ Khaled maybe today's biggest social media influencer: "Even though there are perhaps millions of influencers worldwide, none has ever been acknowledged at a scale similar to the music wiz, DJ Khaled. He has been called the "King of Snapchat" by a Coca-Cola senior VP for content, titled "The Internet Philosopher we all need", and a social media mogul all because of his extraordinary influence and the wanton growth of his own following across multiple social media platforms. The 45-year-old dilettante has had success in most of his endeavors, be it music production or entrepreneurial projects. In 2019 alone, he earned $40 Million and joined the coveted Forbes Celebrity 100 list. His Ciroc, T-Mobile, Weight Watchers, and Apple endorsement deals have also been actualizing millions for the DJ-turned entrepreneur. The endorsement relationships are mutually beneficial, Weight Watchers alone experienced an immediate share-price gain of 9% after they announced the deal. A brilliant Forbes article aptly titled "All He Does Is Win: 3 Marketing Lessons to Learn From DJ Khaled" quite comprehensively takes a look at the marketing success that the legend has achieved through various engagements." Ritz Herald's, Peter Duncan continues the article speaking specifically about Endexx and how DJ Khaled's venture with Endexx is much bigger than normal as it is his own branded product and not just an endorsement: "Rolling Stone broke the news about DJ Khaled announcing the launch of his new CBD Company as a joint venture with the industry leader, Endexx Corporation in December 2020. The new venture would see a release of hemp-derived CBD products at a premium price point for health and wellness use. These products would be in the form of topical applications, with proprietary formulations. Assessing his past success, it can be ascertained that the new venture would be quite a prosperous project. Even more so because this time around, DJ Khaled is personally invested in the products as the motivation to start the venture is his personal wellness journey as disclosed by Rolling Stone. The venture and its products have complete faith of the thriving entrepreneur. Unlike his previous engagements, this is not just an endorsement deal, but rather a collaboration, whereby he is going to have a personal stake in its success. He will be involved in all the functions of the venture, including the marketing." More can be found here: Ritz Herald Article on Endexx and DJ Khaled Endexx was also featured in Proactive Investors today. Excerpts From Proactive Investor For those unfamiliar with DJ Khaled, he produced the last two albums for multi-platinum rapper and pop superstar Drake. He is also a big believer in CBD as part of his personal-wellness journey. "I was drawn to Endexx Corporation because they're an innovative company that has proven they have the keys to deliver consistent, top of the line, high-quality products," DJ Khaled said in a recent statement. Endexx anticipates that the DJ Khaled-endorsed, hemp-derived, cannabidiol-rich collection will launch in early 2021, which is expected to strengthen the company's position in the market as consumer demand for CBD products continues to grow. "We're in what they call the 'hockey-stick' phase of our growth. We've spent the last six years building the foundation, including the formulation of the product line, and now we're converting into sales and marketing as well as expanding through e-commerce and through commercial retail," Endexx CEO Todd Davis told Proactive Investors. CEO, Todd Davis sums up his vision of Endexx's future with the following quote: "We've secured the necessary marketing assets and distribution platform to grow Endexx into a $200 million-plus company within the next three years."  - Todd Davis  Read the full article here: Proactive Investors Full Article About Endexx Corporation Endexx Corporation, through its operating division CBD Unlimited, develops and distributes all-natural CBD products derived from cannabis Sativa plant (Hemp), containing less than 0.01% THC.

Hosted by the American beard care brand MEAN BEARD, the annual "MEANest BEARD Worldwide Contest" draws in contestants from all around the globe vying for the respected title and trophy. "It's not only the beard, it's the attitude," said Joe Loving, Managing Partner and judge on the MEAN BEARD panel. "We choose the winner based not only on the composition of the beard but also the man behind the beard and what his beard represents." From fishing and exploring to helping his daughter and son-in-law with their new house, Boling is a caring man of many interests. In 2015, he began growing his beard in honor of a childhood friend who died of cancer.  "When I started growing my beard, I was smoking and living an unhealthy lifestyle," said Boling. "My daughter came to me and told me that my beard was getting yellow. I knew it was the nicotine stains. I had tried several times in my life to quit. Her telling me was the ticket."   Boling's MEAN BEARD motto is, "It's never too late to change your life for the better." He's passionate about pursuing his dreams and living life to the fullest. With the desire to see his grandchildren grow up, Boling was highly determined to pursue a healthier way of life. Through eating right and exercising daily, he even returned his blood pressure and cholesterol to healthy levels. "I feel like I got yet another second chance to live my life," Boling said. "My beard is a representation of my life. There's even a little bit of yellow. Some have encouraged me to cut it off, but I see it as a reminder of overcoming the struggle and turning into a healthier, happier me." This is the seventh year in a row for the "MEANest BEARD Worldwide Contest." A panel of five judges oversees the competition, determining the top 12 contestants. Then, they narrow the finalists to the top three and select a winner.
