Mr. Owens commented, "Since I appeared on The Morning Blend show last, we have seen our sales accelerate throughout the Las Vegas region. Several retail locations have completely sold out of our product and we have received orders for more product. As Vanessa said on 'The Morning Blend' show, she is now using EQ at the poker tournaments that she appears in and it helps her to be on her game.
