My Pinnacle Network honors achievements of Massachusetts B2B networkers

Even during Covid, My Pinnacle Network’s Networking Ninja Awards have been a constant for the past seven years. This year is no exception as My Pinnacle Network, a business to business networking group with monthly meetings in Braintree, Mansfield, Needham, Pembroke, and Westborough, MA, recognized the networking efforts of B2B professionals in Massachusetts.

The big winner this year was Sheldon Prenovitz of ConnectPay. He received the Networking Ninja for Lifetime Achievement. Prenovitz is in My Pinnacle Network’s Westborough group.

“Sheldon is a networker’s networker,” said Joe D’Eramo, one of the founders of My Pinnacle Network and the leader of My Pinnacle Network-Westborough. “He’s always on the lookout to connect people and pass leads and referrals and he actively recruits people to our group. This recognition is extremely well deserved.”

In addition to Prenovitz, five other B2B professionals received Networking Ninja awards.

Edward Musmon, of Brookline, MA-based I Need a CFO, won the Best Connector Networking Ninja Award. He is a member of My Pinnacle Network-Needham.

Dennis Riley of Goals To Results in Falmouth, MA received The Most Ubiquitous Award. He is a member of My Pinnacle Network-Braintree and My Pinnacle Network-Westborough.

Lisa Levesque, a FocalPoint Business Coach from Foxborough, MA, won the Most Altruistic Networking Ninja Award. She is a member of My Pinnacle Network-Mansfield.

John Adams, owner of Carver, MA-based AdamsComm, took home the Brightest Beacon Award. He is a member of My Pinnacle Network-Pembroke.

The Rookie of the Year award went to Robin Clapp of Web Design by Robin, a Rehoboth, MA-based web design firm. She is a member of My Pinnacle Network-Mansfield.

“Congratulations to all the winners. We had a number of networkers nominated for these awards and these individuals stood out as the cream of the crop in our region,” said Steve Dubin, another founder of My Pinnacle Network. “Each of these winners has proven themselves to be first-rate connectors even under these unusual circumstances. These people who are givers first, which is how they ultimately receive referrals for their respective businesses.”

Added Dubin, “Networking, sharing information and opportunity, is what makes the world go around. Both whimsical and pragmatic, the Networking Ninja Awards provide recognition for many who typically do great deeds and humbly hang is the shadows.”

Let there be light. Breakthrough new Unicorn Grow Light further simplifies the Home Grow process.

The new Unicorn Series 160W LED Grow Light from Green Goddess Supply is a unique new solution to simplifying the home grow process.  The innovative light is specifically intended to be used in a confined space such as a home grow box and is specially tuned to generate high output at a very low wattage. 

“We’ve been working on this light for years,” said Vincent Bitetti, Chief Cannabis Officer at Green Goddess Supply who leads the R&D efforts at the company. “It seemed simple and obvious at first, but we eventually realized that there wasn’t an off-the-shelf unit that gave us everything we needed in one package.  That one is runs too hot, this one is too large, that one is too small, etc. We realized we were hunting for a unicorn and had to build it ourselves, hence the name.”

The game-changing light features both 112pc SMD and 2pc COB LED lights, dimmable switches and comes with a 3-year warranty. After a full year of research and development, the Unicorn represents the best combination of LED and COB lighting, low energy usage, large footprint, and high PAR output, for growing cannabis in a confined space.

The dimmable switches allow the home grower to dial up or down to maximize the growth of their particular strain, and optimize for heat output within a confined space. 

The Unicorn Grow Light includes two rectangular arrays of 48 individual LEDs on the left and right of the lighting board. There are also two COB (Chip On Board) lights, made with thick glass domed covers, that produce modern day, artificial sunlight replacement.

The light also controls IR, UV and UVB which inhibit mold and mildew. Insects are also repelled by these LEDs.

“Lights impact the size of plant growth. Thus, with the Unicorn Grow Light, a home grower can expect larger, more bountiful grows,” noted Mr. Bitetti.  He adds, “I have been experimenting with home grow for over three decades and have a whole office full of lighting units.  We combined the best of components and technology in the Unicorn Grow Light.”

Eric Robichaud, also of Green Goddess Supply, asserts, “The biggest challenge with growing cannabis is managing lighting which impacts heat and radiation. Most lights do not allow you to lower or increase the radiation.  The Unicorn’s switches allow the grower to manage that critical element with precision.”

Although the Unicorn Grow Light can enhance any home grow system, it was designed for use in the Green Goddess Supply trade-marked Armoire, a turnkey solution to home growing that was built to remove the mystery and challenge. The Armoire requires only two minutes of care daily to garner an impressive yield of 3-5 ounces of dried, hand-crafted flower in as little as 60 days. With its furniture-inspired look, child proof lock, ergonomic design, even the most judgmental and disapproving aunt would not suspect that you are growing cannabis in your living room, office or den.

Priced at $299 MSRP, the Unicorn competes with grow lights priced at $399 MSRP that are made by other manufacturers and with the closest feature set.

The Unicorn Grow Light will be included in Armoires moving forward and can replace the lighting system included in earlier models.  The Unicorn Grow Light can also be purchased separately for owners of other home grow systems. The light was also designed to daisy-chain multiple units together for grow spaces that require multiple lights to cover a larger footprint.
