Swaye has built a plug-in for streaming music services that allow fans to amplify their relationship with their favorite artists by buying actual stock in those artists!  Swaye handles fan-funded music with fan profit-sharing in a most unique, eloquent and seamless manner. 

By buying stock in artists, fans automatically become VIP members of an exclusive club with artists they love, enabling member-only perks such as live steaming concerts, limited availability clothes, the first showing of pre-released recordings and videos, amongst a host of other benefits. 

Norm is introducing Swaye for Music to music streaming platforms, iconic and established artists as well as independent artists, and is getting tremendous reception for this mechanism to turn millions of non-paying subscribers into paying fans!

How We Differentiate?

• We use a thoughtful, creative and strategic approach to NFTs
• We offer the most environmentally friendly distribution of NFTs
• Our platform allows fans to buy the ‘digital collectibles’ with their credit cards, as well as crypto

For Artists and Bands we integrate with:

• Ticketmaster and AEG Live for Ticketing
• Shopify and APIs for allowing commerce on Artist’s website and apps
• Spotify for music exposure, challenges, plays, listening parties, etc.

Most artists coming into the NFT space are doing so in an uninteresting manner. They are simply mixing art and music and selling them as NFTs with no real story behind them. This is where our team is different. We take a holistic approach to creating NFTs, starting with the story first. We want to create deep and engaging experiences so the fans can interact and take part in the story and get to know the artist in a whole new way. Because we can program NFTs to do anything we want, we have the ability to push the envelope and create experiences never before seen such as real-time NFT drops for concerts, exclusive access to live performances that can be sold or traded freely, fully-immersive 3D experiences, physical-backed NFTs and virtual backstage passes, digital merchandise tied to real-world items, and dynamic NFTs that evolve with the artist’s journey. 

Norm is working with Legendary Tony Robbins, the world’s top life-coach and business strategist, on a project that will create Tony’s digital double so that he can coach millions of people, around the world, one-on-one, simultaneously, in many languages, even after he is long gone. 

Norm joins Aigo.AI as a Business and Sales Consultant, introducing an adaptive, contextual, conversational Artificial Intelligence based on cognitive architecture.  It remembers what is said, and it constantly learns; it’s so much more intuitive and intelligent than current chatbots (ML/DL), virtual assistants, Siri, Alexa, etc.

Aigo is built on a mind-like integrated cognitive architecture. This is radically different from the other current chatbots and so-called ‘personal assistants’ and puts Aigo ‘Light Years’ ahead.

Aigo’s human-like cognition allows it to:

• • Listen and remember what was said and utilize this in future conversations
  • Understand context and complex sentences
  • Use Reasoning to disambiguate and answer questions
  • Learn new facts and skills interactively, in real-time
  • Have ongoing, meaningful conversations
  • Hyper-personalize experiences based on user’s history, preferences and goals

Norm is introducing Aigo to all of the major AR, MR & VR device manufacturers, as well as the major chip manufacturers.

From Norm’s introduction and belief that this would be a “Match Made in Orthopedic Health Heaven”, the acclaimed Hospital for Special Surgery signs Letter of Intent (LOI) for close collaboration between HSS and Sports Engineering! Congratulations to both Teams!  We are on a mutual mission with the intent to collaborate in research, development, and commercialization efforts related to sports safety and injury reduction.

Sports Engineering’s purpose is to transform performance footwear by shaping, redistributing, and managing horizontal shear and rotational force.  Our patented technology limits the horizontal shear forces within the foundation of the shoe, to improve performance and protect the athlete. Chronic injury may result from overuse and fatigue resulting in poor or changing biomechanics. We believe a byproduct of our SmartSpring suite will help to reduce fatigue and allow consistent biomechanics, thereby mitigating ankle and knee injuries.

Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp was founded by legendary agent turned producer and promoter, David Fishof over 20 years ago. 

The Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp is an interactive musical event, that takes place in various locations worldwide involving various Rock Stars on various dates.

Attendees play, write and record music in professional rehearsal and recording studios alongside those from the music industry, culminating in an event where attendees perform live on stage at a well-known venue. Participants are formed into bands, each with its own rock star mentor.

During this pandemic, David has pivoted the Camp to offer Fans front row seats to Artist’s Masterclasses, which offers incredible interactive engagement. 

These intimate, exclusive events are selling out and getting rave reviews from both the talent and participants. 

We have featured A list talent such as Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Roger Daltrey, Joe Elliott of Styx and Sebastian Bach as well as music industry leaders including Shep Gordon, Jason Flom and Eddie Kramer.  It’s basically a Q and A and some licks on some songs if you want.

Here’s the lineup of future and past events

During this awful crisis the two areas that Norm is dedicating his time, effort, and valuable network toward is to prevent sick people from entering a property, with state-of-the-art health screening devices, and then, once healthy enough to enter, Norm offers indoor air purification solutions that mitigate the possibility of viral spread.

Norm has been successfully selling these solutions to hospitals, hotels, sports teams, restaurant chains, food service companies, nursing homes, distribution centers, offices, etc.

Examples of Norm’s recent success stories:

• Was able to get air-purification / ionization technologies to be an integral part of McDonald’s Worldwide HVAC Global Guidance
• Sold Health Screening Devices to:
  • Carolina Panthers
  • Houston Astros
  • Hospital for Special Surgery
  • Pilgrim’s Pride / JBS USA Food
  • 1800-Flowers
  • Many more in process….

But, too few know the TWO VERY SIMPLE STEPS of how we can DRAMATICALLY reduce COVID-19’s severity and mortality!

1. Keep your nose, throat and lungs HYDRATED (humidify your indoor environment and drink water every hour). The healthier your mucous membrane barrier is (the Glycans that acts as a fortress protecting your cells), the COVID-19 virus proteins will be carried out of your airways via your mucous rather than latching on to your cells and multiplying.
   • If you are NOT well hydrated and the INDOOR air is DRY due to your HEAT being on in the fall and winter months, your Glycans get dehydrated and full of holes (akin to the dragon breathing fire at the fortress walls in Game of Thrones, breaking them down). If dehydrated, the virus proteins therefore can invade, latch on and multiply!
     • Keep the HUMIDITY between 50-60% RH in your rooms, especially when you sleep.
     • Drink water every hour
       
       
2. Do NOT be deficient in your Vitamin D levels! The majority of patients that have died with active COVID-19, were DEFICIENT in VITAMIN D!
   • The darker your skin, the more prone you are, inherently, to be Vitamin D deficient!
     • About 42% of the US population is vitamin D deficient
       • 82% in black people
       • 70% in Hispanics

Are you wondering why MOST of the NFL players that have tested positive for COVID-19 show little to no symptoms and are rid of the virus within a few days? It is most likely DUE to the fact that they are healthy and keeping their internals well-hydrated and in turn, their symptoms are MINIMAL if ANY!

This is also why the majority of people that contracted the virus during the summer months had relatively minor and negligible symptoms, very low mortality rate; due to the HUMIDITY indoors and the summer sun offering the needed Vitamin D!

With the winter wave of COVID-19 beginning to hit the world (due to its inherent dryness in the air), this is a very good time to tell everyone you care about to simply hydrate and keep up with the proper Vitamin D levels!
