Nextplat Digital!!!!! Game changer for Progressive Care!!!!! I will explain and show you all the links and the reasons why Nextplat is investing in Progressive Care and their upcoming big plans with Nextplat Digital Platform! Stay tuned.
The voting rights are in Charles’ hands. He is the one that decides how to list Progressive Care on Nasdaq. Charles and Ellenoff are the Chairman and VC at NextPlat. Ellenoff is a SPAC king. They closed over 40 SPAC IPOs in 2021, ranging from $150M to $500M, including many waiting on a merger with a healthcare company, especially in e-health.

Does it have anything to do with Ellenoff? If no, then no.
XXX is a newly incorporated blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination.
The current trading price of that healthcare SPAC company is $9.98.
Ellenoff already has a Telehealth SPAC listed on Nasdaq right now waiting to merge with a healthcare company.
If RS is not a feasible way to uplist, which means uplisting all by themselves, then why not list on Nasdaq through SPAC?
Why Ellenoff is on Progressive Care’s S-1 while he was appointed as the Chief Business Development Officer and Vice-Chairman of NexPlat? Then NextPlat invested $7M in Progressive Care? What is Ellenoff’s expertise? SPAC

Fernandez and Barreto are seriously rich people, possibly both are billionaires. Like you said, the even more important part of having them as the new Chairman and Vice-Chairman is their relationships with all the other even more influential billionaires, entrepreneurs and policymakers in Florida, and other states, domestically and internationally. They put more than $7M of their own money in Progressive Care. Remember Charles invested over $10M of his own money in NextPlat. The investment of NextPlat in Progressive Care is largely part of the funding that Charles and Barreto initiated. Huge plans have been made for Progressive Care. More news are coming our way.

Mr. Fernandez epitomizes the interdisciplinary qualities of a chief executive who is equipped to take on the broad-ranging challenges presented by global markets in the twenty-first century.

"Charles Fernandez explains further: “We are committed to transition the Company to a next-generation e-Commerce platform company, with revenue opportunities across various global high-growth sectors of the e-Commerce space, including tangible and digital assets. In this regard, the Company will be re-branded as NextPlat Corp., which reflects the intent to add new business lines through acquisitions, joint venturing or other partnering opportunities. "
Fernandez and Barreto, businessman and government consultant, extremely deep pocket and governmental relations, a pair of golden combination. Armen put his company in good hands. He will never give it up to them if he ever had a single doubt about the future of the company that the new owners are leading to. Armen personally owns 80 million shares as the founder. Let this sink in deeply. Now just wait for the new CEO to come in to unveil the digital platform transformation plans. Up and up and up.
The future is so obvious to see. No brainer adding adding and adding. New CEO and new connections/money are coming. Get ready. All will be revealed.
Exactly. In Barreto's own words: "Founding Partner of Floridian Partners. We are a governmental relations and public affairs firms with offices in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and Tallahassee. We specialize in assisting companies with doing business with goverment - all things Florida at the local, state and federal level."

Endorsements and personal investments from prominent people having relations with the government at these levels mean only one thing. They see the great potential in Progressive Care and will make it happen using their huge influences.
July, 2022. Prodigy owners Rodney Barreto and Brian May will become new partners at CCC (Capital City Consulting).
Prodigy Public Affairs merges into Capital City Consulting, becoming CCC Miami
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/538301-prodigy-public-affairs-merges-into-capital-city-consulting-becoming-ccc-miami/
Capital City Consulting and Prodigy Public Affairs of Miami are merging, with the latter rebranding as Capital City Consulting Miami.
The merger will see Prodigy owners Rodney Barreto and Brian May become new partners at CCC, providing local government, public affairs, and business-to-business consulting services to clients in South Florida as they have done together for the past 25 years, while helping CCC expand its statewide presence.
“For nearly two decades, Capital City Consulting has been committed to delivering winning results for our clients at the state level and in select local markets, and we are excited to add a strong and established Miami presence,” said Nick Iarossi, co-founder of CCC.
“With this merger, we will add the biggest local market in the state to our portfolio; and with Brian, one of Florida’s top local government consultants, and Rodney’s reputation and experience as a business leader, there is no doubt they will take our service offering to a new level.”
Fellow CCC co-founder Ron LaFace added, “Brian and Rodney have a reputation for delivering successful outcomes for their clients, and they will be pivotal in helping us build Capital City Consulting. Their approach aligns well with our firm’s culture and work ethic, and their experience in the business-to-business space will add another dimension to the firm.”
In addition to Barreto and May, CCC Miami’s team will include Tim Gomez and Felipe Angulo as directors. Gomez and Angulo previously served roles with Miami-Dade County, both for the County Commission and the Mayor’s office.
“The two firms fit very well together,” May said. “The Capital City Consulting team has had tremendous success for their clients at the state level, and we look forward to continuing that same success in Miami as Capital City partners. We believe we can help Capital City deliver results for many of their statewide clients in the Miami market, as well as expand to other major markets in Florida.”
Barreto added, “This is an exciting opportunity. We’ve enjoyed considerable success in the business-to-business consulting space, and I look forward to expanding this area of our practice with our new partners.”
CCC is one of the largest lobby firms in the state, routinely ranking among the top five in quarterly revenues. The firm is based in Tallahassee and has local offices in Tampa Bay, Broward, and now, in Miami-Dade.
Having Barreto as the Vice-Chairman and a major investor in Progressive Care says it all. You have to understand Barreto's huge influence in Florida and his willingness to invest in Progressive Care to understand what this company's future will be!
Rodney Barreto's (new vice chairman) political and business connections in Florida are truly impressive. I will show you in a moment.
I don’t use instagram. What did he talk about?
