ALLIES OF SKIN PARTNERS WITH MINDFULNESS EXPERT AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR CASE KENNY FOR “SKINCARE = SELF-CARE” CAMPAIGN

Allies of Skin

Allies of Skin, the supercharged clinical skincare brand founded by Nicolas Travis, announces its partnership with mindfulness expert and best-selling author Case Kenny to celebrate the connection between skincare and self-care. Renowned for its results-driven routines, personally curated by Nicolas Travis from the brand’s assortment of supercharged clinical skincare, Allies of Skin is taking skincare one step further. Together with Case Kenny, they introduce a powerful perspective: skincare as self-affirmation. Allies of Skin's iconic routines are sealed with a bespoke affirmation created by Case Kenny – restoring the skin while reconnecting you with your sense of self. The collaboration invites consumers to turn their daily regimens into powerful acts of self-connection, blending high-performance formulas with holistic wellness. Affirmations aren’t just an add-on – they're the final, essential step in any skincare routine. Just as an Allies of Skin product seals in skincare benefits, a self-affirmation seals in intention. Great skin has the power to make you feel better – more confident, more centered, and more connected to yourself. Together, Nicolas Travis and Case Kenny are lighting both the inner and outer light for consumers, redefining skincare as a ritual for total well-being. For the collaboration and as an official #ALLIESPartner, Case Kenny will curate bespoke digital affirmation cards which will be available through social “drops,” lead engaging social content centered around mindfulness, skincare, and self-love, host events aimed at building conscious community, and participate in a co-branded influencer seeding to spread the message that skincare equals self-care. FROM THE FOUNDER "It has taken 18 years for me to appreciate the beauty of the scars from my experience with facial necrosis. Through my own healing journey, I discovered Case Kenny and his brilliant work. His words resonate with me on a soul level, and they serve as guiding light on dark days. It is this light that I hope to share with our allies. The unwavering light that comes with being at home in your skin. The light that radiates from within when you are at peace with yourself and your journey. The light that no person or situation can diminish. It’s time for all of us to shine a little brighter," says Nicolas Travis, Founder of Allies of Skin. FROM CASE KENNY "I’m very excited to partner with Allies of Skin because we share the same belief: the light you carry comes from what you’ve healed. I believe the darkness you endure in life only makes your light shine brighter, and Allies of Skin believes the same. They believe that skincare isn’t just about how you look, but how you feel. That how you care for yourself on the outside is a reflection of the self-respect, growth, and peace you’re building within. That your outer glow is a mirror of your inner work. What I love most is their mission to make skincare more human - to honor the ups and downs, to embrace the imperfections, and to remind us that showing up for yourself is enough. That kind of alignment is meaningful," says Case Kenny. To stay updated on drops, events, and inspiration, follow @alliesofskin and @casekenny on Instagram.

EDGE Boost Named Preferred Payment Method for World Series of Poker Event Series

EDGE Boost

EDGE Boost by EDGE Markets, a financial platform for smart bettors and gamblers, has partnered with World Series of Poker, the premier series of worldwide poker tournaments. The EDGE Boost debit card is now the preferred payment method for WSOP, offering ease of payment, safety and several exclusive on-site perks for tournament players. In past tournaments, WSOP players were limited to $10,000 per transaction and had to complete a lengthy approval process, often resulting in frequent cash deposits. Now, those using the EDGE Boost card through PayPal checkout can bypass traditional credit card verification. They can also make entries up to $250,000, which eliminates the need to carry large sums of cash at the event and increases security measures. “Poker players competing at WSOP events typically face many roadblocks funding their entry at the casino and managing any payout,” said Seni Thomas, CEO and Founder of EDGE Markets. “In the past, players had to bring multiple checks from different accounts which complicated the deposit process and led to security issues of players walking around with large cash rewards. EDGE Boost simplifies this entire process and makes it entirely digital. Now these players can focus on their game without worrying about these extra factors. This partnership lays the groundwork for the future of gaming.” This focus complements player safety and strengthens WSOP’s appeal as an attractive event for poker players globally. “EDGE Boost is going to completely transform the WSOP experience,” said Greg Chochon, Chief Operating Officer at WSOP. “This partnership immediately enhances our brand and player experience through tangible benefits that make them feel safe and supported. Together, we are setting a new standard for how the rest of the gambling industry should operate. We also hope this improvement attracts more players to our events because of the frictionless financial process made possible by EDGE Boost, leading to a safer and easier-to-use system for all involved.” "EDGE Boost gives players what we've needed for years - seamless access to our money, without hassle or judgment," said Lexy Gavin-Mather, Professional Poker Player and Coach. EDGE Boost is also sponsoring an exclusive lounge at the WSOP in Las Vegas through July 11. It offers EDGE Boost cardholders a private space with refreshments, Wi-Fi, and autograph sessions from poker champions like 17-time WSOP Bracelet Winner Phil Hellmuth and WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold. “EDGE Boost is more than a card; it’s a tech revolution for gaming,” Hellmuth said. “Instant access, ironclad security, and flawless control - all designed to let you play your game.” "If you're still traveling with cash, wiring money, or dealing with silly limits you're way behind,” Gold said. “EDGE Boost is a literal game changer! It's a Visa debit card built for serious players who want control over their bankrolls. It saves me so much time and keeps me safe! No brainer to sign up ASAP." About EDGE Boost EDGE Boost is the responsible financial platform for smart bettors.

G6 Hospitality’s Revenue Management Program Delivers Double-Digit Growth and Outperforms Market

G6 Hospitality LLC

G6 Hospitality, parent company of Motel 6 and Studio 6, today announced the results of its Revenue Management Services (RMS) program, which continues to deliver superior performance for participating properties compared to the broader portfolio and the market at large. The RMS program leverages proprietary automation tools, daily competitive set monitoring, and bi-weekly strategy calls with dedicated revenue managers. These initiatives allow general managers to focus on guest experience while G6’s experts optimize pricing, channel mix, and promotional strategies. Properties enrolled in the G6 Revenue Management Services program saw an impressive 11% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025, more than double the growth rate of the rest of the portfolio and significantly ahead of industry benchmarks. These properties also achieved a 10% higher Average Daily Rate (ADR) compared to non-RMS properties, reflecting the program’s effectiveness in optimizing pricing and maximizing revenue opportunities. The RMS program’s impact is especially pronounced on G6’s app & website. In Q1 2025, properties under revenue management saw web and app channel growth of 11.5%, while the rest of the portfolio experienced a 4.4% decline. This digital uplift is driven by advanced dynamic pricing, OTA optimization, and a dedicated central performance marketing team that ensures each property is positioned to capture demand across all segments. The program continued to demonstrate momentum in April 2025. Revenue-managed properties posted a 9% revenue growth for the month, compared to just 0.7% for non-revenue managed hotels. Web channel growth for RMS properties stood at 11%, dramatically outpacing the 0.6% growth for non-RMS properties. Average Daily Rate (ADR) for RMS properties reached $78.24, a significant premium over the $66.68 ADR for non-managed properties. “Our Revenue Management Services program is designed to empower our franchisees with cutting-edge tools, strategic expertise, and real-time data to drive results,” said Sonal Sinha, CEO of G6 Hospitality. “The success we’re seeing—higher ADR, more direct bookings, and significant revenue growth—demonstrates the value of our hands-on, data-driven approach. We’re proud to help our partners outperform the market and deliver exceptional value to their guests.” This announcement follows G6 Hospitality’s recent launch of the AI-powered My6 app, which delivers a faster, more personalized booking experience and has already driven a 14% year-over-year increase in direct bookings. Together, these initiatives underscore G6 Hospitality’s commitment to leveraging technology and data to drive growth, enhance guest satisfaction, and support franchisee success.

Circle IPO Outperforms – Is a Meme Fork of Pepe Coin, APORK, the Next Institutional Surprise?

Angry Pepe Fork

Crypto infrastructure is no longer a fringe bet, as demonstrated by Circle's long-awaited IPO. Circle began trading on the NYSE at above $12 and closed 38% above the listing price, all on its opening day. Layer-1 networks and stablecoin startups continue to capture capital while a brand new type of asset is taking shape in a notable way. Out of nowhere, a new meme coin is popping up in market conversations. Angry Pepe Fork ( APORK ) with its unique branding is building a multi-chain, gamified, and community-driven universe. Let's explore and see how $APORK is quietly ticking the boxes for many institutions across the industry. Circle's Strong Start Changes the Playing Field Today, Circle, the cryptocurrency company behind the stablecoin USDC, ended its journey as a public company after going public, up 33.8% (due to the U.S. Senate’s landmark bill passing) and ahead of other fintech companies and almost all analysts. June 7th EOD prices marked $82.84, a 167% gain, afterwards, neutralizing to $107.70. The IPO's success has already caused hedge funds and Venture Capitalists to rethink their views of the entire crypto industry—what parts of the crypto market may be next for serious investment? $APORK, currently in presale, is one emerging token turning viral activity into serious amounts raised. Meme Coin, or Microeconomy? At first glance, Angry Pepe Fork $APORK may be seen as another meme project, but it is much more than that. It is designed with a CommunityFi & GambleFi economy, so users can earn not only by making purchases at the early stages of the project but by also participating in project long term and earning in the platform upon launch. Could Major Institutions Buy $APORK? While pension funds and ETFs are unlikely to directly hold meme tokens in the near future, smaller institutional investors like as crypto-native venture capitalists, investment firms, and crossover firms are looking for early-stage tokens with strong engagement metrics and scalable utility. $APORK's presale, includes staking returns of over 10,000% APY, a tiered incentive structure, and integrated gamified tokenomics which has already attracted thousands of people to its community and raised hundreds of thousands to its project. Cultural Capital + On-Chain Incentives The cryptocurrency world tends to be split on whether we refer to the narrative or infrastructure first. Bitcoin is digital gold; Ethereum is programmable finance; and meme currencies are representative of culture. $APORK is bridging cultural tokens to economic utility. While we don't know if $APORK is the next institutional surprise, its rise suggests that the meme currency space is no longer a joke. This could become the next serious play. Website: https://angrypepefork.com Angry Pepe Fork is the meme coin determined to push boundaries. Focused on going viral and offering real utility and multiple earning opportunities through CommunityFi missions, GambleFi gaming, and upcoming multi-chain bridging - all powered by a passionate, community-driven ethos. This is not financial advice. Do your own research before buying any cryptocurrency. While meme coins are powerful they are also subject to volatile fluctuations in value.WHILE THE VALUE OF $APORK CAN FLUCTUATE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WILL ALWAYS BE REWARDED.

Building on its Original Equipment competency and rich history with high-performance vehicles, HELLA has turned its full attention to the 2025 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC). Not only will HELLA sponsor the 2025 PPIHC Time Attack 1 Division but will also hand out the 2025 HELLA Hype Award and the HELLA Heritage Award, both of which are designed to celebrate and recognize the teams and drivers that go the extra mile. Hoping for victory in The Race to the Clouds and getting his hands on the HELLA Time Attack 1 trophy will be HELLA-sponsored Robb Holland in his Rotek Racing-prepared 2022 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Cup car.

Initially he rode motorcycles but switched to cars in 1996. With 24 class wins, predominantly in Super Stock and Open Wheel, Vahsholtz is one of the most successful racers on the Hill Climb and will be looking to add another trophy to the cabinet this year. "The entire team at HELLA is excited to partner with the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb," said Robert Tinson, Vice President at HELLA. “As HELLA celebrates more than 125 years of engineering excellence, we’re happy to share the same spirit of innovation, performance, and endurance exemplified by the 103rd running of The Race to the Clouds. In common with the organizers, drivers and teams, our company has pushed the limits of what’s possible from lighting and electronics to braking and beyond.” HELLA Sponsorship & Awards As a continuation of the brand’s awareness campaign, HELLA is the title sponsor the 2025 PPIHC Time Attack 1 Division Award. Trophies will be provided to the podium finishers in a class that includes close-bodied modified and specialized production-based two- and four-wheel drive vehicles.

As such, the class will see a variety of machines but is dominated by Porsche models ranging from Robb’s GT3 RS Cup to the GT3 RS, GT2 RS Clubsport and 911 Turbo S. There will also be a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, BMW M2 CS Racing, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and more.
