    Epique Realty Named Title Sponsor for Inman On Tour Texas

    HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2025 / Paying tribute to its origins as a Texas startup, Epique Realty, the fastest-growing tech real estate brokerage, is proud to announce it will be the Title Sponsor for the upcoming Inman On Tour Texas. The supercharged, one-day event will take place at Union Station in Dallas on October 9, 2025, bringing together the industry’s most forward-thinking leaders, innovators, and top agents.

    As the Title Sponsor, Epique Realty will play a significant role in the event. The company will host an exhibit space at Table 17, welcome attendees with a Morning Networking & Coffee session from 8:00 to 9:00 AM, and feature its Co-Founder and CEO, Josh Miller, in a much-anticipated fireside chat.

    “Sponsoring Inman On Tour in our home state of Texas feels like a perfect full-circle moment,” said Janice Delcid, Co-Founder and CFO. “It reflects our journey from a local startup to a national leader and underscores our commitment to investing in the communities and agents who have been part of our incredible growth story.”

    The event is designed to prepare real estate professionals to seize new opportunities by diving deep into innovative tech, AI, market trends, and business strategies.

    Christopher Miller, Co-Founder and COO will be taking the stage to participate in an exciting panel called, The Talent Game and What It Means for Agents. This session explores how winning teams are built and why it matters for agent growth and long-term success. Other participants include Ryan Rodenbeck, Broker/Owner, Spyglass Realty and Megan Williamson, The Agency.

    “This is more than a sponsorship for us; it’s an opportunity to connect directly with the heart of the industry,” said Christopher Miller. “We invite every agent to join us for coffee and visit our table to experience the collaborative culture and innovative spirit that makes Epique a true family. We’re excited to engage, share knowledge, and learn from the best in the business.”

    At 11:40 AM, Josh Miller will join Inman News’ Taylor Anderson for a featured speaker session titled, “The Brokerage Revolution: Innovation, Impact, and What Comes Next,” exploring the future of real estate brokerages, technology, and agent empowerment.

    “The real estate industry is at a pivotal moment, and Texas is at the forefront of that change,” said Joshua Miller, Co-Founder and CEO. “I am honored to take the stage at Inman to discuss the future we are so passionately building-one centered on radical generosity, technological democratization, and true agent partnership. We’re not just watching the revolution happen; we’re leading it.”

    Epique Realty’s achievements are profoundly unique because its innovation is holistic with integrated technology solutions across all systems. While competitors may offer a single new app or a slightly better commission split, Epique has reinvented the entire brokerage value proposition. Its model is a synergistic ecosystem where free, leading-edge AI technology, a generous financial structure, and compassionate culture all work together to fuel agent success. This stands in stark contrast to the traditional industry model, which profits by charging agents for tools, training, and support. Epique innovates by doing the exact opposite.

    The significance of this approach is validated by objective, industry-leading metrics. In its first year of eligibility, Epique debuted on the prestigious T3sixty Mega 1000, ranking #23 nationwide by agent count and #31 by transaction sides and #52 by Sales Volume ($4.29 Billion). This is not just growth; it’s a market disruption. While many legacy firms struggled, Epique’s innovative model allowed it to scale at a historic rate. This performance proves that Epique’s approach is not just a novel idea but an extraordinarily successful and scalable force that is setting a new, formidable benchmark for growth, agent productivity,

  • XCF Global and FlyORO Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Develop Global SAF Supply Chain Solutions

    HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”), and FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd. (“FlyORO”), a global leader in digital modular blending solutions for SAF, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”).

    Under the MOU, XCF and FlyORO will explore the creation of a global partnership to help solve one of aviation’s biggest bottlenecks: SAF supply chain and blending inefficiencies. As most blending occurs upstream at production facilities, there are limitations to flexibility and scalability. Midstream and downstream infrastructure such as terminals or airports often lack the equipment and certification processes needed for blending. Together, XCF and FlyORO intend to co-develop an end-to-end solution to enable the ready uplift of SAF. By combining XCF’s expertise in SAF production infrastructure with FlyORO’s patented modular blending technology – AlphaLite™ – designed for flexible deployment either on-airport or pre-airport, the collaboration aims to support cost-effective, compliant, and scalable SAF integration into the global aviation fuel system.

    The urgency to deploy scalable SAF infrastructure has never been greater. By 2030, the global SAF market is projected to exceed $25 billion, with worldwide demand expected to surpass 5.5 billion gallons. As this demand accelerates, next-generation blending solutions such as FlyORO’s AlphaLite™ system, an innovative, flexible, and low-CAPEX technology, will be critical to bridging production with airports and fleets worldwide.

    This potential partnership aligns directly with XCF’s international expansion strategy announced in June 2025, under which the company is pursuing a capital-efficient, modular approach to global SAF deployment through regionally tailored partnerships. The potential collaboration with FlyORO would be expected to strengthen XCF’s ability to deliver end-to-end SAF solutions, from production through blending and distribution, across the world.

    Mihir Dange, CEO of XCF Global commented:

    “This partnership has the potential to rewire how the aviation industry thinks about SAF deployment. Blending isn’t just a technical step, it’s a critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle that determines how fast SAF can scale. By combining FlyORO’s cutting-edge blending technology with XCF’s global strategy, we’re creating a pathway to accelerate adoption, reduce costs, and unlock new growth opportunities for investors and stakeholders alike.”

    Damian Mc Loughlin, Chief Commercial Officer of FlyORO commented:

    “FlyORO was founded with the mission to eliminate barriers to SAF adoption. Our modular AlphaLite™ system makes blending more flexible, scalable, and affordable. Working with XCF, we can expand this vision globally, bringing smarter logistics and faster SAF deployment to airports and airlines around the world.”

    The non-binding MOU reflects a shared vision to accelerate SAF adoption and position both companies as leaders in clean aviation infrastructure. Execution is subject to due diligence, technical validation, and final agreements.

    About XCF Global, Inc.

    XCF Global, Inc. is a pioneering sustainable aviation fuel company dedicated to accelerating the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero emissions. XCF is developing and operating state-of-the-art clean fuel SAF production facilities engineered to the highest levels of compliance, reliability, and quality. The company is actively building partnerships across the energy and transportation sectors to accelerate the adoption of SAF on a global scale. XCF is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trades under the ticker, SAFX. Current outstanding shares: ~153.2 million; <20% free float (as of October 1, 2025).

    About FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd.

    FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd. provides the world’s first revolutionary, modular, on-demand blending service of SAF and jet fuel to enable aviation on its emissions reduction journey. As an enabler of the SAF supply chain, the company offers flyers the flexibility to align their ESG targets per flight rather than be succumbed to fixed blend ratios and bulk commitments upfront. With a small form factor of 40ft, it is space efficient, portable, and can be installed anywhere at or off airport base. This solution allows airport fuel operators to serve flyers more effectively with a simplified supply chain.

  • IRS Ramps Up Penalties for Late Payroll Taxes – Clear Start Tax Shares What Employers Must Do Now

    Businesses face steeper fines in 2025 as the IRS cracks down on payroll tax compliance

    IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / The IRS has announced tougher penalties for late payroll tax deposits in 2025, signaling a renewed focus on employer compliance. Payroll taxes – which fund Social Security, Medicare, and federal income tax withholdings – are among the most closely monitored obligations for businesses, and failing to pay them on time can result in significant financial consequences.

    “Payroll taxes are considered trust fund taxes, which means the IRS treats late or missing payments extremely seriously,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “Employers who fall behind can face escalating penalties, interest, and even personal liability in some cases.”

    Clear Start Tax noted that businesses struggling with cash flow sometimes delay payroll deposits, but the IRS’s stepped-up enforcement leaves little room for error. “Even short delays can add up to major penalties,” the spokesperson explained. “Employers should prioritize payroll tax deposits above nearly every other business expense.”

    Experts advise business owners to set up automated deposit systems, track deadlines carefully, and consult tax professionals if they’ve already missed payments. With the IRS increasing penalties and enforcement resources, employers are urged to act quickly to avoid compounding costs.

    By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

    About Clear Start Tax
    Clear Start Tax is a national tax resolution firm dedicated to helping individuals and businesses manage IRS challenges. From payroll tax issues and audits to back taxes and debt relief programs, the firm provides tailored solutions that reduce risk and restore financial stability.

  • Global Polymer Ushers in New Era of OEM Engineering with Net-Shape UHMW-PE Molding Technology

    MADISON, SD / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / Global Polymer is redefining the limits of part manufacturing with its exclusive ability to net-shape mold Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE). Delivering high-performance UHMW-PE parts in fully custom, net-shape geometries, the company is changing the way engineers design for durability, complexity, and speed.

    “Engineers shouldn’t have to compromise their design around a flat sheet,” said Jeff Hieb, Plant Manager at Global Polymer. “Our net-molding capabilities open up entirely new options-embedding fasteners, over-molding steel, complex geometries, smooth finishes-all while delivering the performance UHMW-PE is known for.”

    A Game-Changer for Part Performance and Production

    Unlike traditional methods that require parts to be cut, routed, or machined from standard UHMW-PE stock, Global Polymer’s compression molding process produces components that are molded to final form-with features and performance benefits built in from the start.

    With Global Polymer’s net-shape molding, engineers can:

    • Eliminate secondary machining and reduce production costs

    • Mold in fasteners, metal inserts, or metal plates

    • Customize surfaces with logos, part numbers, or recycle codes

    • Consolidate multi-part assemblies into a single, functional component

    • Replicate complex geometries at scale

    This approach eliminates common pain points in OEM manufacturing-delays from outsourcing machining, inconsistencies in part performance, and constraints on design flexibility.

    Built for Demanding Industries

    Global Polymer’s molded UHMW-PE parts are used in industries where failure is not an option. From forestry and wastewater treatment to food processing and transportation, clients rely on Global Polymer’s parts to withstand abrasion, impact, and chemical exposure-without corroding, cracking, or slowing down production.

    “Our goal is to be a true partner in innovation,” said Hieb. “We’re not just providing plastic-we’re helping OEMs push the limits of what’s possible in design and performance.”

    Made in the U.S.A. for Faster, Smarter Supply Chains

    Every Global Polymer component is manufactured in Madison, South Dakota, allowing OEMs to reduce lead times, minimize freight costs, and improve supply chain reliability.

    Whether clients are building small prototypes or sourcing for large-scale production, Global Polymer’s U.S.-based facility and engineering team are ready to deliver.

  • MIRA Pharmaceuticals Reports Positive PTSD Data Demonstrating Ketamir-2 Restores Normalized Behavior in Stressed Animals

    MIRA advances Ketamir-2 in the clinic for neuropathic pain while broadening development into neuropsychiatric disorders such as PTSD

    MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIRA) (“MIRA” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel oral therapeutics for neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and metabolic disorders, today announced positive results demonstrating that its oral drug candidate Ketamir-2 restored normalized behavior in stressed animals within a validated model of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Ketamir-2 is currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial for neuropathic pain, where it has shown a favorable safety profile to date.

    “Restoring behavior to normal in a stressed PTSD model represents an important step forward,” said Erez Aminov, CEO of MIRA Pharmaceuticals. “These findings support our decision to broaden the scientific evaluation of Ketamir-2 beyond neuropathic pain into neuropsychiatric disorders such as PTSD. Looking ahead, we plan to explore opportunities for potential collaborations, including with military and government institutions, given the significant unmet need for effective PTSD treatments.”

    This proof-of-concept validation study was conducted in a small group of rats using the Single Prolonged Stress (SPS) model, a widely accepted paradigm for inducing inescapable stress that mimics PTSD symptoms in animals. Animals were exposed twice to a predator stressor (bobcat urine), which is known to induce “depression-like” symptoms and changes in active/passive coping. Increased immobility after stress exposure reflects enhanced affective impairment or reduced stress resilience. Following the development of these symptoms, animals were dosed orally with Ketamir-2 once daily for five consecutive days.

    Behavioral assessments included anxiety- and coping/resilience-related behavior in the forced swim test (FST), which measures immobility versus active coping strategies.

    Outcome: stressed animals displayed hallmark PTSD-like behaviors, including increased despair, immobility, and avoidance of coping. Treatment with Ketamir-2 reversed these types of behaviors, restoring them toward the level observed in non-stressed animals. This initial validation supports the study design, and a larger follow-on PTSD study is ongoing.

    “These preliminary results reinforce the therapeutic potential of Ketamir-2 in PTSD,” said Dr. Itzchak Angel, Chief Scientific Advisor of MIRA. “We observed consistent reversal of stress-induced behavioral changes, supporting continued investigation of Ketamir-2 across neuropsychiatric disorders.”

    PTSD: A Major Unmet Need

    About Ketamir-2

    Ketamir-2 is a proprietary, orally bioavailable new molecular entity that selectively targets the NMDA receptor (PCP site) with low affinity and demonstrates no significant off-target activity across a broad receptor panel. Ketamir-2 was designed to capture the therapeutic efficacy of ketamine while minimizing the unwanted dissociative and other central nervous system side effects that limit ketamine’s clinical use. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s scientific review of Ketamir-2 concluded that it would not be considered a controlled substance or listed chemical under the Controlled Substances Act and its governing regulations. Previous animal studies have also shown Ketamir-2’s superior efficacy versus ketamine, pregabalin, and gabapentin in neuropathic pain models.
