Kevel Named to Newsweek’s List of The Top 200 America’s Most Loved Workplaces for 2024

Kevel

Newsweek Magazine today published the annual America’s Top Most Loved Workplaces® list, developed by Most Loved Workplace®, a division of Best Practice Institute (BPI). Kevel has been honored with a place in the top 20, being ranked # 18 out of the 200 companies included in the list. This marks the fourth annual Most Loved Workplace® list. This year, the list has expanded to the Top 200, reflecting companies' growing commitment to prioritizing employee sentiment and creating workplaces that employees love. The results were determined after surveying more than 2.6 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from less than 50 to more than 10,000. The list recognizes companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the center of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them. “We are so proud about our inclusion on the Most Loved Workplace® list,” said Mike Kohn, Chief People Officer at Kevel. “We have focused on building a people-first organization since our founding, and have used our values as a north star as we scaled our company. We routinely use engagement surveys and qualitative check-ins both to keep a pulse on how we are working as well as to identify trends and insights that enable us to drive actions in support of building a workplace where everyone can thrive.” How positive workers feel about their future at the company, career achievement, how much employer values align with employee values, respect at all levels, and the level of collaboration at the firm were the five critical areas measured to gauge employee sentiment. In addition, areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging, career development, and company leadership were identified and analyzed in relation to the five critical areas measured. “It’s inspiring to see the list expand this year to 200 companies, a clear indication that organizations are truly committed to creating workplaces where employees feel valued and connected. We’re thrilled to celebrate their achievements as this recognition continues to grow.” - Nancy Cooper, Newsweek’s Global Editor in Chief To view Kevel’s ranking and the top honored companies view the Top 20 Most Loved Workplaces in America or view the full list of the 2024 America’s Top 200 Most Loved Workplaces®.

Psilocybin's Potentially Revolutionary Ability To Treat Depression Hinges On FDA Approval – AJNA BioSciences Is Standardizing Raw Materials To Meet Guidelines

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Results of research conducted at Emory University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UC Berkeley estimate that more than five million Americans suffering from depression could benefit from psilocybin-assisted therapy. This first-of-its-kind peer-reviewed study is scheduled to be published in the scientific journal Psychedelics on September 24, 2024. How Psilocybin Can Deliver Rapid And Sustained Antidepressant Effects This latest research report is not the first to look into the use of psilocybin to treat depression. There is a body of research showing that it can potentially deliver quick and continuous antidepressant effects. For example, results of randomized clinical trials have been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and by the University of California San Francisco. In fact, psilocybin’s therapeutic properties had been researched as early as the 1950s by Swiss drugmaker Sandoz Group (OTC: SDZNY) as part of specific psychiatric studies. A Pioneering Drug Development Company Focused On Botanical Therapies All of this seems to support the work of AJNA BioSciences, based in Littleton, Colorado. The company could be strategically poised to lead and create value in this emerging category of pharmaceuticals. AJNA is currently developing a full-spectrum psilocybin “novel antidepressant.” AJNA believes that a standardized botanical medicine made from psilocybin will be in high demand. It reports that in 2020, doctors prescribed nearly $19 billion worth of drugs to treat depression. Researchers have estimated that the market for psychedelic drugs will grow annually by more than 12% through at least 2027. AJNA believes it can capture a high single-digit percentage of that market. What is significant about AJNA’s drug development work is that it is standardizing botanical materials to meet strict FDA guidelines. AJNA reports that it is the first biotech company working with botanicals under a DEA Schedule-1 license. AJNA is developing a daily-use anti-depression treatment through what it intends to be a fully characterized and FDA-approved formulation. AJNA has advanced the development of two prescription drug candidates: its CBD-based Autism Spectrum Disorder drug is anticipating a phase 2 trial in late 2024, and its psilocybin-based antidepressant drug has a phase 1 trial scheduled for early 2025. The company’s research team, led by scientists from Harvard, Johns Hopkins and New York University, is conducting clinical trials in the same manner as large drug manufacturers. However, AJNA is working to transform the pharmaceutical industry by pioneering a new regulatory pathway to produce drugs from plants. Why AJNA Is Focused On FDA Approvals Authors of the research to be published by Emory University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UC Berkeley say that their “projections are highly contingent on…precise FDA approval parameters.” In other words, how broadly or narrowly the FDA defines this new class of drugs. AJNA seems to have anticipated some of this. It reports that it has distinguished itself as one of the leaders in the evolving field of botanical drug development and has paid strict attention to how the FDA is defining the pathways for botanical drugs to get approved. Joel Stanley, AJNA’s CEO, says that FDA approval is a critical component of bringing new drugs to market. Federal law requires that a manufacturer show that the drugs they produce are safe and effective. Stanley also notes that without the FDA’s stamp of approval, a drug is unlikely to be considered for reimbursement by health insurance carriers. For botanical drugs to be an accepted component of a physician’s and patient’s routine treatment options, they must be approved by the FDA. AJNA is committed to producing natural botanical drugs that have undergone rigorous laboratory and clinical scrutiny to demonstrate that they deliver “nature, backed by science.” AJNA is currently raising capital in a crowdfunding round through Wefunder. Stanley says that “by investing in AJNA, you’re helping to change the healthcare paradigm to include optionality that none of us have ever had.” With less than a week before the current financing/investment opportunity closes, interested investors can find more information on the Wefunder website.

Building Success Across Industries: A Leader’s Journey from Manufacturing to Film

Gutterglove

Robert Craig Lenney is a visionary entrepreneur who defied the odds to establish two flourishing companies in vastly different fields. Both successes are born from his desire to do good and help others. His remarkable success in manufacturing paved the way for a seamless transition into the film industry, where he has channeled the same creativity and determination to produce award-winning film projects. His journey stands as a powerful testament to pursuing one’s dreams, no matter how diverse or ambitious they may be. After initial stints in founding a tree-trimming business and a home-shopping network, ambitious entrepreneur Lenney eventually found enormous success as the founder and CEO of Gutterglove®. He developed a stainless-steel micro-mesh gutter guard technology that earned multiple patents, improved the lives of millions of homeowners, and became a #1 rated Consumer Reports product now available at major retailers like Costco, Home Depot, Lowes, and Amazon. However, his real passion, which was his dream for most of his life, was making movies. He used Gutterglove as an outlet for his movie-making dreams, gaining extensive experience producing, directing, and hosting award-winning infomercials for his products during his 20+ year business career. This led to his transition to film development, founding Robert Craig Films. Movies produced by the film production company have changed lives, impacting many with their positive messaging and bringing awareness to critical issues. They have been chosen for hundreds of film festivals and have garnered numerous awards. “Neither of these paths has been easy. Building a manufacturing company from the ground up based on an idea is challenging, and so is establishing a film company that leans towards faith-based films in today’s Hollywood. I've found success in both areas for many reasons, like staying true to my passion and core values and surrounding myself with the right people who become like family, who have helped bring these dreams to life,” says Lenney, “I believe that my faith was training me my whole life with these various companies and life's challenges to prepare me for producing films that hopefully will inspire and positively impact people’s lives.” Here are four key takeaways from Robert Craig Lenney that inspire others to pursue their entrepreneurial paths: Follow your heart and your calling - Both companies are ultimately about caring for and helping others. The cornerstone of Gutterglove is “We Care.” This is exemplified in the programs created and how the company interacts with coworkers, customers, and the communities served. With each Robert Craig Film, the focus is to help others, whether the topic is homelessness, bullying, or sex trafficking. Hire the best team - Find the right people. Lenney says, “Look for people that bring out the best in you, feed your creativity, and make you a better person. It’s not about the product; it’s about the people. Give them opportunities to share their heart and passion with the natural skills they have; be an example of one who cares about them.” Stay true to the mission - Gutterglove and Robert Craig Films are about keeping people safe, inspiring communities to help one another, and ultimately finding ways to save lives. Gutterglove’s high-tech gutter guard keeps people safe from hazards and home damage. In 2019, Lenney established Robert Craig Films to develop, create, and produce films that inspire audiences to engage with greater empathy, compassion, and generosity within their communities. This mission led to creating different kinds of movies that bring a high level of entertainment with spiritually uplifting storylines and awareness of important topics. Be creative; have fun! Every industry is crowded, so creativity is crucial to reaching an audience. Think outside the box in the development and marketing stages and enjoy the creative process!
