So Many People Cannot Sleep! 09/29/2022

So Many People Cannot Sleep! 70% of people with trouble sleeping are desperate to improve their sleep and daytime. 'The Hidden Toll Of Insomnia' is what Dr. Charlene Gamaldo, Professor of Neurology, Johns Hopkins University is joining me to talk about today. Insomnia she says, is a medical condition. To understand the hidden toll of insomnia, The Alliance for Sleep and Idorsia Pharmaceuticals, U.S. Inc. conducted one of the largest U.S. surveys of people with trouble sleeping and physicians to highlight the real impact of insomnia on the nights and days of people struggling with sleep. The Wake Up America Survey reveals that insomnia not only keeps people awake at night, but also impacts their days in various ways – including at work, in relationships and more. More than half of people with trouble sleeping (PWTS) feel frustrated with current treatment options and 70% of them reported that they are desperate to find a solution that helps them get quality sleep and fully function the next day. This desperation is underscored by people with insomnia cumulatively spending approximately $7.125 billion dollars annually on products or sleep aids to improve their sleep, including blackout curtains, white noise machines, and eye masks. Collectively, the survey’s findings point to a clear need for change in how Americans with trouble sleeping and healthcare professionals are managing sleeplessness. For more information: Check out the "Wake Up America" website. Dr. Charlene Gamaldo is a board-certified sleep specialist who also has a board certification in neurology. Dr. Gamaldo is the medical director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep at Howard County General Hospital, a professor in the Department of Neurology and vice-Chair of faculty development of Neurology at Johns Hopkins Medicine. She is also a Provost’s Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and serves on the editorial board of Neurology Today and on the board of directors for the American Academy of Neurology. She is a member of the Alliance for Sleep, a multidisciplinary committee built to promote education, awareness and research on sleep and sleep disorders. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/24533184

What's A Life Hack? 09/23/2022

What's A Life Hack? "Life Hacks" provide not only a path to better health and well-being, but ways of saving time, making life easier, and even impressing your friends. The world’s most successful people have mastered the art of taking control of their lives. Wouldn’t you like to know how to take control of yours? Today we visit "Our Best Life Hacks:From Friends, Family & Complete Strangers by my book guru buddy Donna Kozik (Kindle Edition) Benjamin Franklin, being far-sighted, invented bifocals to help him read. He also, being the diplomat he was, laid out a list of 13 virtues for dealing with others. Both of these can be considered life hacks. In 1812, Tabitha Babbitt, watching two men struggle with a timber saw, attached a circular blade to a spinning wheel and the rest was history. Elon Musk, when his schedule demanded almost 100 hours per week of him, found ways of managing his work and sleep hours, including some well-placed sofas in his factories. Judith Edwards, who experienced some rather personal problems during her seven pregnancies, combined the advice of both her doctor and her entrepreneurial son and is now worth $150 million based on her life hack: the Squatty Potty. Inside Donna's book you’ll find useful life hacks to help you conquer fears, calm your mind and spirit, fight off depression, improve your self-esteem, achieve your goals, and appreciate the world around you. Donna Kozik is a USA Today & Wall Street Journal best-selling author with a passion for getting people published. She’s most known as the creator of the original “Write a Book in a Weekend” virtual event and its sister publishing program, Done for You Publishing. She works with people to get their books written and in print, on Kindle or both.

You Know You're A 'Seenager' When? 09/21/2022

You Know You're A 'Seenager' When? This Episode Is Sponsored By BetterHelp.com. I love sharing their message because I'm all about making sure everybody’s brains are healthy and attitudes are good. When you need to talk to somebody but not just anybody, there are trained therapists at betterhelp.com to help. We all Have Things We Do Besides The Things We Do Doing a little something different today on this show/podcast. Sharing a few more laughs with long time buddy and laugh partner Charlie Ponger who I invited in to the studio to share some excerpts of what we work on outside this show. Charlie had a fun idea for a podcast and busted my chops to come do it with him. It’s called ‘The Official Seenagers’. Dedicated to the over 50 crowd who ain’t goin’ down any time soon, and dedicated to all those coming up behind us to let them know they’ll still be having fun long into the future with the right attitude. We produce this podcast in a bunker location called the ‘Pongerosa’. We’re speaking to a demo we feel is under-served. Those who've been around awhile but have so much more ahead. We remind everybody, anything's still possible, and that it's never too late for anything. Today you'll hear excerpts from 'The Official Seenagers' podcast shows that make us laugh. Launched Nov 2021, without a clue as to what it would become, we've done over 50 shows of what we call 'comedy improv'. We’re figuring it out along the way. A work in progress and we think less is more so most episodes are short like 15 -20 minutes. Followed my own advice, "Risk It or Regret It". Today we’re sharing tidbits of what we’ve been doing. Did you know we have ‘Seenager Correspondents’ around the country? Today you’ll hear from LuLu weighing in from San Raphael, CA We also have “Write INS”. Todays clip ? You Know You're A ‘Seenager’ When... (Senior Teenager) Lots of laughing at ourselves that's for sure. If we don’t laugh this is not going to be funny. About things like falling over putting on our underwear, etc. Oh wait until you hear what's going on with 'Seenagers' In Florida. Our Canadian Correspondent reported in. The colored loofahs mean what? Then there's The Funnies Report: As in ... Who’s On Injured Reserve This Week? Seenagers have ridiculous accidents. We through in some relevant news: GEN X Fears Supporting Boomer Parents. 50% of gen X not financially prepared to look after parents if they had to. Talk some Grandparent stuff: My 3 year old Granddaughter packed up all her clothes in a suitcase and told her parents she was leaving them to come live with me. She thinks I'm more fun. Ha. Speaking of fun, did you know 'Seenagers' are trying to have as much fun as humanly possible but have no patience when they blow a body part in the process? Example: I did a backward lunge. Then a Dr. gave me a 'boot' for my sprained foot ligament. Looked like it would be hot. Decided I'd rather limp than wear it. So I limped. Should have paid more attention to the health update from from CNN, on how to avoid soft tissue injury. Finally 'Seenagers' still have great love affiars going on, although a 'touch' different then when we were teenagers. So I re-wrote the words to Dion's 1959 hit song 'Teenager In Love'. My version is called 'Seenager In Love" which you'll get to hear on this episode even though I can't sing. Who cares, we're having fun. Hope you'll catch the fun vibe too. Enjoy this podcast /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/24446271

Is Anybody Normal? Let's Talk! 08/10/2022

Is Anybody Normal? Let's Talk! Everybody Needs Somebody To Talk To. But In Case You Haven’t Caught On Not Everybody You Talk To Actually Listens or Cares. Whenever there is anything that interferes with your happiness or prevents you from achieving your goals, it's important to talk about it. Even better if you can talk about it to someone who can actually give you sage advice. Yesterday I was standing in line behind a man sharing his problems with a woman behind the cash register at the gas station. I couldn’t believe how much crazy personal stuff he was telling her. She gave him change but no advice. I honestly felt bad for the guy. He'd left before I paid or I probably would have gntly mentioned the world largest therapy platform. I discovered BetterHelp while researching the top podcast advertisers. I was blown away they were #1 and I had never heard of them? So I researched the company more. They’re making professional therapy affordable, and convenient so anyone who struggles with life’s challenges can get help, anytime and anywhere. Online therapy was growing even before the world went haywire now it's really growing full speed. I'm a huge proponent of talking about mental health. Thank goodness it's no longer a taboo subject. There's so much more knowledge now than there was before. I watched so many people suffer that didn’t have to Including myself along life's twisting paths and It bums me out a little that the world took this long to make mental wellness a priority. But we can only look forward, so I contacted BetterHelp to introduce myself. I told them I'd love to share their message and asked if they would sponsor my show and good work. And they did! Very cool. I'm proud to support them as well, because I know people need help and need to know where to find it. Joining me today to help you better understand how BetterHelp Online therapy works is Haesue Jo, their Clinical Support Lead. She's also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience providing individual and family therapy in community mental health, school settings, and day treatment facilities working at BetterHelp. Her current clinical focus includes working with individuals with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, community violence, gender identity, and depression. One of the first questtions I asked Haesue was "Is Anybody Normal?" Tune into this 2 part podcast conversation where we discuss: How "Being Normal Is Overrated" LOL; how to get started with online therapy and get matched with the right therapist; and how BetterHelp is very affordable. 'Very Affordable 'agrees Haesue Jo, is a key deciding factor for a lot of people when they're deciding what's worth they investment. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/24015690

Is PEMF The Fountain Of Youth? 08/08/2022

Is PEMF The Fountain Of Youth? 'Charge' YOUR Cells Like A Cell Phone? Our cells are like batteries and honestly who knew they could lose their charge? I just got a PEMF education and now I will educate you. PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields. Must be something to that ol' saying "Gotta re-charge my batteries eh? Seems disease injury, fatigue, and depression, just to name a few are marked by a lowering of our voltage. David Block brought the technology to my attention. David was an attorney for 35 years (as well as having gotten his securities licenses). He had an accident and was in constant pain having tried everything to get better. PEMF technology saved him from pain when nothing else worked and after his first few sessions using PEMF he was pain free. He became so passionate about what PEMF had done for him, he quit practicing law and switched his career to work the company PULSE PEMF. He joins me in a conversation here to share how PEMF technology changed his life and how it might change yours. Is PEMF The Fountain Of Youth? David explains that virtually everything in the body responds to the infusion of electromagnetic energy and it is a fountain of youth and then some. ( If you saw David in person you'd think he had 'work done' because he looks way younger than 65 - but nope he says its just PEMF) David says PEMF is used by the well, unwell and the high performer, biohackers....anyone seeking to boost the body's natural healing and recovery systems. The machine is available for sale to wellness practictioners, for sale to teh consumer for home use, or you can pay for individual sessions with a PEMF practitioner like with David who's located in Stamford, CT. A PEMF machine looks like a big computer tower that is connected to a full body bed or a chair pad on which you lie or sit to charge the human body's 75 trillion cells with electromagnetic energy. You keep your clothes on. Our bodies need extra energy for repair which is where David says PEMF comes in. He calls it the modern day outgrowth of the pioneering work over one hundred years ago by Nikola Tesla. So, if you're fighting a disease or injury, fatigue, or depression this may be of interest. David also mentions that the 'technology' has been recognized by the FDA for wound healing, bone density issues and depression and 'may' help other conditions. But he says, thethinking is that if this energy can address those unrelated issues, doesn't it makes sense that it may be successful in addressing myriad other issues as well? Food for thought especially for those who've been struggling and thought they'd tried everything to help them heal and feel better. If you want to know more contact David Block.

Humble Lobster Roll Queen On A Roll 07/29/2022

Humble Lobster Roll Queen On A Roll Andrea Anthony, President Of Lobster Roll Enterprises, is a warm fun talented unpretentious mover groover. She was a memorable guest on my show a few years ago so when I caught “The Lobster Roll Queen Of The Hamptons” feature written by Todd Shapiro in this weeks Dans Papers, I had to invite her back. Since last we spoke, Andrea and her team made it through the pandemic, are still running strong with the original iconic LUNCH AKA Lobster Roll in Amagansett NY and have opened a second LUNCH AKA Lobster Roll in Southampton NY. Andrea and The Lobster Roll crew are also rolling out Lobster Roll Kits so you can enjoy a taste of Summer all year long in your own kitchen. Watch for their upcoming launch on Goldbelly too. Andrea Anthony, an accomplished restaurateur, is as big on hospitality as she is on great food and is also very clear ‘you’re only as successful as the team you surround yourself with”. She gives a load of credit to many others involved for making LUNCH / The Lobster Roll an unforgettable Hamptons Long Island, NY experience since 1965. And she's thrilled about her new expansion partner, Irwin D. Simon, who she says is not only brilliant but 'a great guy' and... 'good people'. By the way The Lobster Roll Restaurants are hiring in case you or anyone you know are interested. It's a year round operation. I found what Andrea said in the article about hiring people really interesting. “It is easier to train nice people than it is to train people to be nice... It’s all about hospitality at The Lobster Roll and that is why my love for hospitality is my driving force,” she continues. “This is a feeling that we try to emanate to our staff .” The Lobster Roll is also a Brand: “We are a lifestyle brand,” Anthony adds. “When we train our employees here, we explain to our staff that when people come in, they are taking a break from reality. The people that come to our establishment come for great food, good times, and an escape for a bit. We all associate summer time with vacation and with fun, so it’s a great brand to embrace.” I’d work for Andrea Anthony in a second. She’s ...good people. Enjoy our conversation but beware, this conversation may cause a craving for a Lobster Roll. LOL. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/23904072

Chico Hot Springs Montana: Come! All's Well! 07/11/2022

Chico Hot Springs Montana: Come! All's Well! Yellowstone's Open! The WEST won. The floods were tough yes, but Montana folk are tougher. I honestly can't wait to return to Chico Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa in Pray Montana! I’d kept owner Colin Kurth Davis’ card that I took off the counter when we checked out back in August 2019. I always meant to call or write him about the magic of his place. I decided to give him a call this week to ask how things were going out there and if the resort was affected by the floods and could I help in any way. Boy was he thrilled I called, because yes the floods happened and they had a really tough couple of days because nobody knew what the outcome of the damage would be, but people really need to know they're back in action. Luckily said Colin, "It was a 'wrinkle in time". It left as fast as it came. It was truly amazing how fast everyone in Montana rallied to clean up. But he and many others in Montana are left with a really frustrating situation. Colin says, "All that people are left thinking about was the visual of that house breaking away from the banks of the Yellowstone River and floating away. The press played it over and over again. Where was the press showing all the neighbors putting their political and personal differences aside to help each other secure and piece evryhting back? Where has the press been to let everyone know just about everything's open, and Paradise Valley is ..well Paradise. People who rely on tourism here are hurting because nobody's sharing the current situation. There are people out there happily rafting the Yellowstone river as we speak." Colin said, as expected his resort had to deal with many cancellations after that natural disaster, but for every cancellation another phone rang with a ‘local' looking to book. Locals were like 'wow you have openings'? Montana locals even started a new hashtag #SummerLikeALocal LOL. And speaking of locals, the negative press was so overdone that ‘local’ singer songwriter John Mayer, a regular you might mingle with at the saloon at Chico and other venues in Montana, was one of the first to be proactive helping get the word out. He used his social media to tell those who had planned to vacation in Montana to come out. He's even planning a few concerts in the Summer in The Valley and in Gardiner Montana which was hit hardest because they're a little landlocked. His mission is to drive some revenue for those who depend on tourist dollars to stay in business. Yes, the north entrance to Yellowstone Park is still closed, but everywhere else is the area is like a giant playground says Colin. So I’m doing my part here on the East Coast to share that Chico Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa is open and as great as ever and so is Montana. If you never swam in an all natural unchlorinated hot springs pool you’re missing an incredible experience. The pool at Chico Hot Springs is filled with 80,000 gallons of water that gets drained every night so they can clean the pool, and the water pours back in so quickly it fills right back up every day, 365 days a year. The water temperature is 103 degrees but dips to 98 degrees in the more open area that gets surface cooled. Chico Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa has been going strong for 120 years. Guests range from Grandpas and Grandmas to Young Kids and everyone in between. Theres something for everybody. Music, fishing, hiking , biking, world class barbecues, a family restaurant off the pool where you can eat in your bathing suit, cowboy suites, honeymoon cottages, a spa, saloon, all the nature adventures you can dream up and the best breakfast in the west. The food is a BIG draw too. The main dining room serves up outrageously delicious food made by their 3 time finalist James Beard Award Winning Chef. And the hospitality is enchanting. Colin Kurth Davis worked at Chico Hot Springs long before he became proprietor. He continued to work over the years and built up equity and as the owners aged out he said, took over the resort with his wife Seabring starting 8 years ago. They’re great partners in life and business and run the resort together. Seabring's got a special talent for journalism and is behind many of the amazing Montana cookbooks. Boyfriend Dave and I must have been very fun guests there because after dinner our last night there, we were given a cookbook as a gift signed by everyone on staff. We were so surprised and flattered we couldn’t imagine what we did to earn such a beautiful gift. I only found out during this conversation with Colin that the staff has the power to make the gift to patrons they deem worthy. Worthy as in having the 'right spirit’. Colin said, it's a honor bestowed on those they deem ‘one of us’. Sweet eh? Chico Hot Springs Resort & Spa in Pray Montana is a perfect runaway to do everything or nothing. Funny though that Colin's idea of a runaway is reverse to NYC to the Beacon theater to hear live music. LOL Enjoy the conversation and if you decide to go tell them Debbie sent you. If they think youre one of 'us' might get you your own cookbook. ******************************************************** Chico Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa is in the heart of Paradise Valley. Surrounded by mountains, a stone’s throw from the Yellowstone River and a short, scenic drive into Yellowstone National Park, this historic hotel and restaurant offers guests a wide range of experiences, from boutique hotel to luxury cabins, rustic lodging to spa retreats and an unforgettable hot springs pool. Ideally situated between Livingston, Montana and Yellowstone National Park, Chico is the perfect home base for exploring the wonders of the region. Whether it’s a day trip into Bozeman for shopping or a shorter trip to the private day spa, this historic lodge offers year-round access to an authentic western experience. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/23718770

Could a Trainer Be The Difference Between Life & Death? 07/07/2022

Could a Trainer Be The Difference Between Life & Death? Could a personal trainer be the difference between life and death? Well If you read the recent study results which said being able to stand on one leg for 10 seconds is tied to whether you’ll live another decade - then possibly yes. Here’s my opinion after exploring one session with kickass superstar HEALTHYFIT personal trainer Cristina Telese. We humans need other humans to push us to accomplish things we can’t seem to on our own. It’s easy to ‘go exercise’ it’s harder to spend that same time really maximizing the effort to get better results out of why the heck we’re there in the first place. Plus now it’s personal. We all have to be able stand on one foot for 10 seconds or drop dead soon. The results of a study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine said for people over 50 ‘not being able to stand on one foot for 10 seconds was associated with a higher risk of death from all causes within the next decade’. Now there’s a wake up call to make sure you’re fit and can balance! It’s been one week since I spent one session with Cristina and I can still feel the effects on some body parts I obviously wasn’t getting to the correct way on my own. Triceps / thighs / core. I was a lifelong workout babe until the last few years and she opened my eyes to some new ways of doing things that I knew nothing about. Made me realize I’m half kidding myself in my approach to exercise these days, and that I could get twice as much done in the same time with a little guidance. So I’ll book Cristina again this week. She’s incredibly energetic, very thoughtful in her approach and great at what she does. Plus she walks the walk and I look up to her. What a strong presence. She’s a super fit 5’11’. Maybe you should try a session with a trainer, her or someone near you, and see if you feel the difference. Meet Christina Telese today and learn what I learned. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/23668994

Talk About Extraordinary Service! 06/30/2022

Talk About Extraordinary Service! If you like TV Chef Robert Irvine you’ll really love him for what he’s doing for Veterans as a tireless philanthropic supporter - in tandem with an AMAZING firm on Wall Street called Roberts & Ryan which is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Broker Dealer that donates 7-10% of their revenue to Veteran Focused non-profits! One incredible thing they are doing is raising money to be able to give as many wheelchair bound disabled veterans as possible an IBOT. The IBOT is a Personal Mobility device that combines balance and motion to provide a unique eye level experience in mobility. Giving wheelchair bound veterans the ability to climb stairs, reach to the top of kitchen cabinets and much more! This powered wheelchair was developed by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, in a partnership between DEKA and Johnson & Johnson Technology Division. Roberts & Ryan President Brian Rathgen and Robert Irvine both joined me to share how they’re both putting their money where their mouth is. In Honor of July 4th and in support of all the men and women who have 'served' our country so the rest of us can live free - I'm posting the entire show today as a podcast. Both guests today are amazing humans. What they are doing for our disabled Veterans is nothing short of incredible. You need to know about them and help in any way youre able to. Even if its just spreading the word. Roberts & Ryan: A top-tier institutional broker dealer founded by Dan Roberts, a US Marine Corps Vietnam War combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient. Roberts & Ryan, America’s 1st broker-dealer of its kind, attained the minority designation – Service-Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVO) – once it was codified into law. In 2017, a group of like-minded Veterans and Citizen Patriots – all experienced Wall Street professionals – bought Roberts & Ryan with the dual mission of doing well – providing great service to their clients, while doing good –supporting our nations Veterans and adult youth in mental health, wellness, and career transition through charitable donations and volunteerism. Roberts & Ryan now provides agency equity and debt services, distribution of equity and debt capital transactions as co-managers, as well as delivering corporate access events and desk research to our institutional asset managers, banks, family offices, and corporate treasuries. The more bsuiness they do the more revenue they give to the Veterans. Robert Irvine: Yes he is a world-class chef and entrepreneur, but he’ll tell you his true passion is helping veterans and he is a tireless philanthropic supporter of our nation’s military. The host of Food Network’s hit show Restaurant: Impossible, he has given struggling restaurateurs a second chance to turn their lives and businesses around in over 200 episodes and counting. The Robert Irvine Foundation’s primary focus is giving back and supporting our service members, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need through resiliency, health, and wellness programs, in addition to the financial support of top-rated military and first responder organizations. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/23588945

Female Officer Has 'Moves' To Stay Fit 06/03/2022

Female Officer Has 'Moves' To Stay Fit Police Officer Ami Postiglione Has To Stay Healthy & Fit and she has a special place in her heart for the women’s gym HealthyFit in Mamaroneck NY. This Harrison, N.Y. police officer joins me on this Wellness Wednesday show today for a @healthyfitny member spotlight. I would imagine her job ias a police officer is stressful these days and that she needs to be extra fit for it. When I asked how Ami how she would describe her occupation, she said, “well it’s not ordinary”! In spite of the challenges in the world Ami loves her job and feels lucky working for such a great community. Being strong and fit is critical to her daily work as a law enforcment officer and throw in being an Italian who likes to eat she said, ( Me too Ami!) and that makes it all the more important for her to keep working out. She shares some good running tips for the treadmill and gives a high five to doing boxing workouts. "Showing up’ and 'doing the time' in a welcoming womens gym has motivated Ami to keep increasing her strength and mental well-being. Ami also credits the encouragement of the trainers and other women at Healthy Fit for keeping her motivated throughout her ups and downs. I myself am a huge fan of women’s gyms for all the reasons above and more ( like showing up in last nights makeup and not caring) I’m really annoyed at myself that I just missed 2 weeks due to ‘circumstances’. I was just starting to feel great and more flexible again after a couple of months of going and today I decided I cannot let outside ‘circumstances’ get in my personal way. I feel it physically very fast when I’m not exercising enough. Plus my mood’s better when I work out and exercise. Finding this fabulous women's gym after the pandemic was critical to my sanity. I turned myself in to Officer Ami in this conversation for being MIA. Lol She motivated me to 'get back in there'.! Dont we all need a little encouragement? If you’re a woman trying to get back into better physical shape or know one who is, encourage them to join a womens gym. If you happen to be in the Mamaroneck, NY area I encourage you to look into HealthyFit On the Boston Post Road. Just walk and in and check it out you can even workout for free to get the feel. Enjoy my converssation with Harrison, N.Y. Police Officer Ami Postiglione. /episode/index/show/thedebbienigroshow/id/23321261

Meet NY's Top Cannabis Lawyers 05/31/2022

Meet NY's Top Cannabis Lawyers New York is projected to become the nation's second largest legal cannabis market after California with an estimated $4.2 billion market within 5 years. BUT as of now there are still a LOT of of very 'gray' legal areas being worked on. You can legally possess up to 3oz. of cannabis in NY and you can legally consume it and legally gift it, but you cannot legally sell it for adult use ...yet. So when will NY see it's first dispensaries open? Most likely October according to New Yorks Most Sought After Cannabis Lawyers who are rampng up for what's to come. 'Prince Lobel' the nations most trailblazing cannabis law firm, is expanding its offices to New York City and White Plains, NY. They've tapped New York's most 'in demand' cannabis lawyers to join forces with them. Cannabis law superstars James (Jim) K. Landau, Douglas S. Trokie, and David C. Holland ae now working together. They took time out of their crazy busy scedules to join me to share what's going on behind the scenes in the NY cannabis industry right now. All three have been working, studying, learning and speaking and basically ramping up for when licensing is up and running. They're very busy writing the rules and regulations for what the marektplace will look like. If you want to know what's going on, tune in to this podcast interview and hear all three top cannabis lawyers tell you what's happening and what to expect in real time. For one thing the 148 pre-existing hemp farmers in NY were just given the green light to put the first THC crop in the ground which should be ready this October. And NY State is going to build out storefronts for the first 150 dispenasry card licensees to help them avoid high start up costs to get going. We talk about everyhting from social justice issues to how soon the banking industry is going to do something about all that dispensary cash being driven around. Enlightening for sure.
