With $US 3.2M in 2020 revenue, representing a 58% increase over the previous year, you would think Empower Clinics CEO Steve McAuley would use his first interview after the filing to celebrate.
He isn’t.
Rather, with Fiscal 2020 having come to end more than 6 months ago, the 2020 results are a distant rear view mirror shot of a Company that is in full-blown growth mode and can be best summarized as follows:
“Multiple opportunities have been percolating and I’m going to turn up the heat”
To this end McAuley sees a “substantially higher market cap” for the Company, as well as, growth that will be “deserving of an uplist”.
We could try to list all the powerful things he had to say in this interview – but best we let you watch/hear it straight from Steve in this amazing interview.

When the Facebook data privacy scandal broke out, the world woke up to just how badly our individual data was being traded, used and most importantly, the amount of profit being generated by major corporations at our expense.
This led to the enactment of the biggest data privacy laws in history. Specifically, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) out of Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Enter $LQID. The Company Turns The Problem Of Data Privacy Into A Profit For Individuals, While Providing Big Businesses With New & Compliant Business Models.
More than just lip service, $LQID has made some major announcements, including joining the Trust Over IP Foundation, which includes over 170 members including IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and many other global leaders who are defining a complete architecture for Internet-scale digital trust.
Does that sound like a mouthful? Yeah, it does. But all you have to really understand for now is that digital ID, privacy and monetization is going to become a reality in the very near future. Government regulations are enforcing it. Consumers are demanding it and $LQID is delivering it at such an advanced scale that the Trust Over IP Foundation provided them with a strategic role as a Steering Member.
If that wasn’t enough proof for you, Google validated the $LQID business model with this stunning announcement at the beginning of March:
Google believes these types of tracking methods don’t “meet rising consumer expectations for privacy, nor will they stand up to rapidly evolving regulatory restrictions, and therefore aren’t a sustainable long term investment.”
Google is experimenting with tools in its Privacy Sandbox that are designed to allow advertising to continue to work on the web but in a less privacy-encroaching way.
“Keeping the internet open and accessible for everyone requires all of us to do more to protect privacy — and that means an end to not only third-party cookies, but also any technology used for tracking individual people as they browse the web,” David Temkin, Google’s director of product management for ads privacy and trust,
What is the potential outcome of this major shift by Google?
“Google’s decision could upend the ad industry, which has relied on these types of tracking tools”
Now the data privacy and monetization game is underway with LQID sitting in a great position within the industry and the dominant position within the small cap world.
If consumers are going to switch to Liquid Avatar to protect and monetize their identity, the switch to Digital ID by Canada’s biggest Province is simply a monster catalyst: The Ontario government strategy outlines ways in which it plans to harness the potential of the digital economy and better utilize data. Included in the plan are tangible commitments such as:
the creation of a new data authority;
a new digital artificial intelligence (AI) framework to guide responsible use of AI; and
the introduction of a new government-issued digital ID that lets people prove who they are online.
Cardea is a complete ecosystem that can be used by public health authorities, governments, organizations, and industries to enable people to maintain their privacy while holding and using an easily verifiable, trustworthy, unalterable proof of a health test or vaccination.
One of the first projects to provide the related technology and guidance for implementation of the recently announced Global COVID Certificate Network (GCCN), also from Linux Foundation Public Health, Cardea helps facilitate the safe and free movement of individuals globally during the COVID pandemic.
Watch this interview with CEO David Lucatch for an even deeper discussion into what this all means for $LQID and YOU.
“Novamind, a mental health company that specializes in psychedelic medicine, this week announced revenues of $1.85 million for its fiscal quarter ending March 31, a 43% increase over the prior quarter. With its previously announced plans to open 4 new clinics, doubling the size of its network, between July and September, Novamind said in its earnings report that it expects to increase patient volume to more than 65,000 clinic visits in 2021, which would represent a 225% increase year-over-year.”
“Since listing on the CSE this January, Novamind has demonstrated its ability to rapidly scale access to innovative mental health treatment and psychedelic medicine,” said Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director, Novamind. “The contract with Merck to research a promising new drug, leveraged our expertise in patient recruitment and patient management. Novamind will continue to execute on its aggressive growth initiatives in 2021, further expanding organically and through acquisitions ahead of the FDA’s anticipated approvals of MDMA and psilocybin.”
Identifying the correct dose for therapeutic settings is a crucial step in the path towards optimizing the healing power of psychedelics. In this article, Psychedelic Spotlight details new research studying the optimal LSD dosage for the treatment of mental health disorders. We look forward to more research and clinical trials in the future and will prepare for the time when LSD can be used as a treatment option in our clinics.
The promise of psychedelic medicine is too great to ignore for Campbell Townsend, an Australian-based psychologist who is training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. The Australian government has recently committed $15m to psychedelic clinical trials and support is growing in that country. There is significant momentum growing. Staying at the forefront of psychedelic research, Novamind is currently developing protocols for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy that will standardize and provide best-practice treatment methods for the widespread use of psychedelic medicine.
“As I’ve stated to our shareholders on multiple occasions throughout 2021, Empower is in the strongest position it has ever been and will continue to grow every aspect of our business unabated and without interruption. In addition to this acquisition, in the last 30 days alone we have announced expansions of our clinics, gone live on our KAI Saliva RT-PCR test with Air Canada and are very advanced on tripling the size of the KAI Medical Laboratory facility. We are hitting on all cylinders and well on our way to becoming a major vertically integrated healthcare company. I fully expect Empower to have continued strong business announcements in June and throughout 2021″
If that was all, it would be a great day … and it was with $CBDT closing up 16.5% on 7.5M shares to $0.53 … but then Steve shared some powerful information about leveraging this acquisition with large US pharmacies.
Who did he name?

Most of us know drones for their recreational uses or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos.
But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations adopting them for a wide-use of applications that most never dreamed of such as:
To provide Internet connections in remote locations.
To collect crowd data.
In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones themselves (hardware) to drone technology and solutions (software)… and the one company that is delivering the most challenging applications is DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)
DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:
Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
Built the first drone that saved a life
Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
Developing a Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)
Detect infectious conditions in a person from a distance of 190 feet
Conduct phenotyping, data collection and analysis by the USDA
With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why CEO Chell believes DFLY will become one of the top 2 drone companies in the world and why they near the end of the process of listing on NASDAQ.
If you believe in the massive parabolic growth in the use of drones for almost everything we do in this world, or want to learn, then watch / listen to this powerful interview with Draganfly CEO and Chairman, Cameron Chell.

A study that had been on hold for almost two years has been approved. MAPS will hold a phase 1 clinical trial of MDMA-assisted therapy for healthcare workers. Working in conjunction with the FDA, MAPS was able to win the appeal and help “improve the regulatory landscape for all future patients of psychedelic-assisted medicines.” The study “will measure development of self-compassion, professional quality of life, and professional burnout among clinicians delivering the treatment to patients.” This study will address a critical area of need for healthcare workers.

The company recently announced the advancement of its zero-cost energy crypto mining platform.
“Zer00 crypto mining platform” utilizes a thermal treatment (not burning) of waste to generate energy.
The initial scalable unit will process enough power to run up to 200 cryptocurrency mining machines. The energy generated is environmentally friendly, and the system will be self-sustainable.
This technology reduces waste currently filling landfills, a prevalent cause of greenhouse gas emissions containing methane that is more harmful than CO2.
What did Cameron Chell, Chairman of CurrencyWorks have to say?
“Crypto mining can be incredibly profitable if you can eliminate or minimize the energy costs in the mining process, while at the same time through these policies and best practices reduce the need for landfills and GHG, providing cleaner air and water, conservation of local biodiversity, sustainable energy development and green jobs. CurrencyWorks Zer00 Crypto operations will help to develop a sustainable way of minimizing MSW and using that energy to mine for crypto.”
