SUMMARY:1 Million Cups featuring Crunchy Hydration
DESCRIPTION:Crunchy Hydration is functional sparkling water with adaptogens and nootropics for mindful hydration. Crunchy Hydration started out of a desire to take the abstract mental health discussion and bring it into a simple daily act: drinking water. Over 19 percent of adults in the US were diagnosed with a form of anxiety disorder. That’s over 40 million anxious consumers that could be helped through our mental equilibrium-focused beverages. It is also reported that close to 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated! Crunchy Hydration is a straightforward solution to help mental and physical health through mindful hydration plus they currently are in over 200 stores and plan to saturate the mid-Atlantic and the NE then expand south. Join us AT FFX in VB to hear more from Megan & Kim about their Crunchy resolution!

SUMMARY:Be Your Own Boss with John M. Hall\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:BYOB is focused on providing insights and expertise from entrepreneurs who have chosen to Be Their Own Boss. These events will highlight the entrepreneurs and innovators who decided to start their own business ventures. These events will provide an interesting discussion about the journey to success and how to overcome the trials and tribulations of being an entrepreneur.\nJohn Hall\, Jr.\, first purchased the Chesapeake-based sign company on September 11\, 2006 when he was only 19 years old. At the time\, the company was known by Action Graphics & Signs\, Inc. With high expectations and an iron will\, John took the business from over $30\,000 of debt and pulled it completely out of the hole to return to profitability—all in only the first year of his ownership.\nIn Hampton Roads in 2008\, no other businesses had taken over the niche of vehicle wraps\, so it was clear he needed to make changes to grow this brand. John quickly established the company as the vehicle wrap shop of the area and began a marketing campaign targeted at businesses that needed to wrap their fleet vehicles. John decided on the easy-to-remember name of AGWraps\, using the initials from the company’s actual name Action Graphics. The main purpose of this new name was to show his new focus on vehicle wraps.\nSeveral networking successes led John to begin doing business with commerce giants of Southeastern Virginia\, including Atlantic Heating & Cooling\, TFC Recycling\, the Dragas Companies\, Hampton Roads Transit\, and The PETA Foundation. These clients turned into opportunities for John\, and they continued purchasing more and more products from AGWraps\, and not just wraps and signs.\nOnce AGWraps was established as the #1 vehicle wrap and graphics shop in Hampton Roads\, John turned his attention on the next goal for the company—growing to a larger reach of the local area. In early 2017\, AGWraps opened its second location in Virginia Beach Town Center. Not only was John conquering vehicle wraps and signage in Hampton Roads\, but he was reaching across the entire country with clients in multiple states\, many of them even shipping vehicles out of Chesapeake once AGWraps had wrapped them. John’s hard work could be seen as far away as California\, covering coast-to-coast of the country and more than a quarter of the states in between.\nAs AGWraps continued to grow more and more\, John turned his sights elsewhere to maximize the building momentum. In 2018\, he purchased Archbell Signs\, Inc. in Norfolk. This expansion allowed both AGWraps and Archbell to function together as sister companies\, sharing clients and information while operating as experts in their fields. AGWraps took on all wraps and similar graphics while Archbell focused solely on signage\, allowing both to handle more work and produce better quality. The cooperation between the two companies has strengthened and widened John’s footprint in Hampton Roads.\nLearn More: https://agwraps.com/\nWatch LIVE: https://bit.ly/3bDLYzo
