FK+ supplement-grade wellness products are designed to optimize focus, energy, relaxation, and sleep by harnessing the powerful synergy of functional ingredients—adaptogens, nootropics, and purposefully dosed cannabinoids—for peak human potential. FK+ is now available direct to consumers nationwide via fkplus.com.

MIAMI, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The founders of California’s renowned sustainable cannabis brand Flow Kana, together with leaders from one of the U.S. largest herbal tea brands, today announced the nationwide launch of FK+. The breakthrough line is scientifically formulated with synergistic combinations of proven functional ingredients at therapeutic doses for targeted, consistent effects. FK+ products live up to their promise of elevated experiences in your daily life all while promoting long-term health benefits.

FK+ meets increasing consumer demand for plant-based solutions for the most common concerns: stress management, mental and physical performance, and quality rest.

“FK+ represents the evolution of plant medicine—combining ancient herbal wisdom with modern scientific validation to create formulations that help people function at their best,” explains FK+ co-founder and COO Kevin Haslebacher, who previously served as Chief Operations Officer at one of the nation’s best-known herbal tea brands. Haslebacher is enthusiastic about bringing his experience in the realm of botanical wellness to the growing legal hemp industry: “The entourage effect across botanicals and cannabinoids is the next frontier in the functional wellness revolution,” he says.

Developed by a multidisciplinary team of plant scientists, certified herbalists, and doctorate-level cannabis experts, FK+ delivers innovative formulations with intentional neurochemical design for ready absorption and bioavailability. Unlike similar products on the market that promise quick fixes for general mood dysfunction with simple ingredients at ineffective doses, FK+ has created powerful precision stacks utilizing full-spectrum cannabinoids (like CBD, CBG, and THC-V) that act synergistically with smart herbs and functional mushrooms to modulate neurotransmitter systems, enhance cognitive function, and support multiple systems in the body.

While FK+ products all promise immediate and predictable results, the formulations are designed to become an integral part of consumers’ health habit stack, with regulating adaptogens and brain-boosting nootropics that provide maximum impact with daily use over two or more weeks.

FK+ formulations also answer the desire of modern cannabis enthusiasts who are evolving beyond recreational use and turning to purposefully dosed cannabinoids to enhance their daily functions. Each formula has been tested in group trials to ensure elevated experiences without a crushing high.

“FK+ meets the demands of health and wellness enthusiasts who aren’t just chasing highs but rather higher functioning, plant-powered optimization,” says co-founder Flavia Cassani. “FK+ is about helping people tune in, not check out, so they can experience higher productivity, better concentration, more restorative downtime, and deeper connectivity to the people and activities that bring them joy.” The FK+ product collection features four distinct formulations available as premium sungrown pre-rolls and fast-acting gummies:

• FOCUS+: Enhances concentration and mental clarity. Think of this as your workday executive assistant or a centering aid for your next yoga class, while nootropics continue to boost your brain power over time. (Low Potency)
  Gummies: Flavor: Passionfruit Guava | THC + CBC + THCv + CBG | Lion’s Mane + Ginkgo Biloba + Yerba Mate + Rosemary
  Pre-roll: THC + CBG + CBD | Terpenes: Limonene + Pinene
• ENERGY+: Boosts sustainable vitality and motivation. Tackle the mountain or head out for an epic ride with a healthy supply of jitter-free energy. Maca and cordyceps support hormone balance and physical endurance. (High Potency)
  Gummies: Flavor: Pineapple Ginger | THC + THCv + CBG | Cordyceps + Green Tea + Maca Root + Yerba Mate
  Pre-Roll: THC + CBG + THCv | Terpenes: Terpinolene + Limonene
• RELAX+: Promotes mental and physical ease plus emotional balance. Jumpstart vacation vibes or take a massage to the next level with cortisol balancing and immune supportive adaptogens plus anxiety-reducing cannabinoids. (Medium Potency)
  Gummies: Flavor: Lemon Lavender | THC + CBD + CBG | Reishi + Ashwagandha + Lavender
  Pre-Roll: THC + CBD + CBN | Terpene: β-Caryophyllene + Limonene
• SLEEP+: Quickly induces deep, restorative rest. Get your best night’s sleep as herbals enhance GABA activity and turkey tail mushrooms support long-term immune recovery. (High Potency)
  Gummies: Flavor: Blackberry Açai | THC + CBD + CBN | Turkey Tail + Valerian Root + Passionflower
  Pre-Roll: THC + CBN | Terpene: β-Myrcene + Linalool

Sustainability also remains central to the FK+ mission. The company sources 100% sun-grown, sustainable cannabis from family farms, dramatically reducing environmental impact compared to industrial cultivation methods.

“Indoor cannabis cultivation is among the most energy-intensive agricultural practices today, on par with modern data centers,” notes co-founder Michael Steinmetz. “With the advent of hemp-derived THC, we finally have the opportunity to share superior sungrown cannabis far and wide, doing better for both people and the planet.”

FK+ products are now available nationwide through the company’s website, fkplus.com. Distribution through conventional retail and online delivery platforms is forthcoming.

About FK+

Welcome to the era of elevated wellness products for higher function and flow. FK+ (Functional Kannabis+) unites the celebrated cannabis pioneers of Flow Kana with wellness industry veterans to create next-generation plant formulations that fortify the mind, nurture the spirit, and optimize physical function through synergistic blends of cannabinoids, adaptogens, and nootropics. Our mission is to harness the power of science and Mother Nature’s wisdom to enrich our everyday experiences and promote holistic wellbeing for a vibrant healthspan. At FK+, we aren’t just chasing highs (although our products are buzzworthy!), we’re designing plant-powered optimization for a higher functioning you.

All FK+ products feature sustainably grown ingredients, are rigorously tested for purity and potency by ISO-certified labs, and responsibly manufactured in cGMP-certified facilities. Our cannabis products are fully legal under the 2018 Federal Farm Bill. Learn more at www.fkplus.com.

CLEVELAND, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CrossCountry Mortgage (CCM), the Nation’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, made its strongest showing yet on the 2025 National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators list, with 17 loan officers earning recognition — a 21% increase over last year.

This year’s list highlights standout Hispanic leaders across the country, including Terri Santiago-Parker, who ranked #1 in the Northeast Region for the second consecutive year. In the Southwest Region, Chris Leon and Lizy Hoeffer took the top two spots, ranking #1 and #2, respectively. Rodrigo Ballon and Julio Silva were also recognized in NAHREP’s Top 100 Latino Mortgage Originators by Volume, earning the #4 and #6 positions.

“Helping more Hispanic and Latino families achieve the dream of homeownership is not just a goal at CCM — it’s a commitment we’re proud to deliver on,” said Ron Leonhardt, Founder and CEO of CCM. “Representation on this list is an honor, but what matters most is the real impact behind it. I’m proud of our team and ready to do even more in 2025.”

NAHREP’s Top 250 list honors mortgage professionals who are helping drive sustainable homeownership for Latino families, based on the number of closed mortgages during the 2024 calendar year.

In 2024, CCM helped nearly 14,000 Hispanic families purchase homes, funding a record $5 billion in home loan volume within those communities. CCM continues to invest in tools, resources and partnerships that provide authentic, focused support to Hispanic homebuyers — building borrower confidence and expanding access to homeownership.

The company is a national partner of NAHREP and actively participates in its annual homeownership and wealth building conference each year.

“These professionals represent the backbone of Latino homeownership growth in the U.S.,” said NAHREP National President Oralia Herrera. “They have guided thousands of families through a tough housing market, proving that trust, market expertise, and deep community ties are the true drivers of success in this industry.”

Unveiling new murals, inviting artists and nonprofits to share projects that celebrate communities

VERNON HILLS, Ill., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rust-Oleum, a trusted leader in paints and coatings since 1921, is taking its commitment to creativity and community to the next level with its “Spray It Forward” mural program. This impactful initiative brings together artists and nonprofits to celebrate creativity, cultural storytelling and meaningful neighborhood connections.

At the heart of this program is Rust-O™, Rust-Oleum’s first spray paint line designed exclusively for artists. With its bold palette and outstanding performance, Rust-O empowers muralists to push the boundaries of creativity. Each mural not only reflects the unique identity of its community but also includes a subtle nod to Rust-Oleum’s legacy of supporting artistry and innovation through a hidden “Easter egg.”

“Art has a profound ability to connect people and tell meaningful stories,” said Natalie Klemko, product manager at Rust-Oleum. “The Spray It Forward program and Rust-O Artist Spray Paint ensure artists have the tools they need to make an impact. Together, we’re creating spaces that help communities feel seen, valued and inspired.”

Turning creativity into community
Several notable mural projects are currently in development for 2025, each showcasing the unique character and stories of its community:

• Battle Bandera Boxing Club – Chicago, Ill.
  Acclaimed muralist Ali Six will bring Humboldt Park’s vibrant Puerto Rican heritage to life with a stunning mural at the Battle Bandera Boxing Club. Featuring symbolic elements like the Coqui frog as a resilient boxer, the Pan-African-inspired Puerto Rican flag, palm trees and native flowers, the artwork is a powerful celebration of cultural pride. For the boxing club, it’s more than just art—it’s a statement of community resilience and a commitment to violence prevention.
• Attleboro Maker’s Festival – Attleboro, Mass.
  At the heart of the Attleboro Maker’s Festival, local artist Nick Gilbert will craft a mural that honors the city’s industrial legacy and creative spirit. This vibrant piece will reflect the synergy between Attleboro’s industrious past and its innovative present.
• Carolina Beach Mural Fest – Carolina Beach, N.C.
  The Carolina Beach Mural Project, a nonprofit dedicated to celebrating the area’s rich culture and history, celebrated 100 years of Carolina Beach with its inaugural Mural Fest. Seven talented muralists created works using Rust-O Artist Spray Paint that capture the essence of the region’s heritage. These murals serve as vibrant connections between the community’s past and present, inspiring both residents and visitors through the unifying power of art.
• Kenosha Downtown Mural Project – Kenosha, Wis.
  Led by the Kenosha Community Foundation, the Kenosha Murals Project celebrates the strength and unity of the local community. Celebrated artist Ese Dionisio brings his unique vision to this stunning 5,000-square-foot mural, designed to breathe new life into the heart of downtown.

Honoring artistic excellence
The “Spray It Forward” initiative also shines a spotlight on existing murals that exemplify cultural expression and artistic brilliance. Among them is the SOMA Pilipinas mural by Venazir Martinez in San Francisco, honored with Rust-Oleum’s Dream Big Award as part of the 2025 National Mural Awards. Located in the heart of the city’s Filipino American cultural district, this vibrant artwork celebrates Filipino heritage, honors the contributions of immigrants and beautifully captures the diverse narratives that shape the community.

Rust-Oleum invites artists and nonprofits to share their visions and join the “Spray It Forward” movement. By fostering unity, celebration and creativity, the program aims to build a brighter, more colorful future for communities across the nation.
