New to The Street's TV Host Jane King is at the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio with Joe La Rosa, the Founder and CEO of La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) ($LRHC), and Peter Goldstein, the CEO of Exchange Listings, LLC, the Founder of Emmis Capital IPO Fund and Author: "The Entrepreneur's IPO." La Rosa Holdings Corp. has five agent-centric, technology-integrated, cloud-based, multi-service real estate segments as a holding Company. Peter Goldstein starts the segment with his business history, with 35 years of experience in investment banking and capital markets. Many entrepreneurs and small- and medium-sized businesses believe they are too small to become publicly traded entities. Peter explains the misnomer, the need to be the next "Unicorn," is not an accurate perception for micro and small cap entities to become public and access to the equity markets. His book: "The Entrepreneur's IPO," thoroughly explains and educates entrepreneurs interested in going public. Joe La Rosa talks about LRHC and its business model that can assist realtors with creating multiple revenue streams. Many traditional real-estate offices have complex revenue share models with time limitations and aggregate sales numbers before sharing can commence. La Rosa Realty has an immediate turn-key revenue share model with no restrictions, wait periods or sales requirements. A single agent can take immediate advantage of LRHC's revenue share program. Using the Company's AI platform, JAEME, encouraged agents to embrace AI technology to be more efficient and effective in their real-estate professions. Joe wants his professionals not to be afraid of AI but to use it to be more productive and successful. La Rosa Holdings Corp. is averaging about two real-estate agency acquisitions per month and expects further growth. LRHC went public in October 2023, and its shares now trade on the Nasdaq Exchange, symbol LRHC.

New to The Street airs its "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security – The Weekly Hack" segment with Internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data Ltd.  (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) ($SWISF) and TV Host and Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry. The segment's topic is a cybersecurity data breach at a major US collections agency. Hackers stole over two million account records with names, social security numbers, and other private details. Alain believes the hackers most likely entered the collection agent's server through email. Typically, hackers get into an employer's email account and then wait and watch emails until they can find a weakness or codes to get into a company's database. Many organizations and businesses still use old legacy technology platforms that are vulnerable to cybersecurity issues. The best option is to have a secure email platform. Sekur Private Data Ltd's- SekurMail with SekurSend/SekurReply is a subscription-based closed-loop encrypted email platform that can significantly reduce the chances of being a hacking victim. Combining SekurMail with the Company's SekurVPN service has end-users appearing in Switzerland, masking a subscriber's internet footprint. IP addresses are private under Swiss privacy laws. Sekur Private Data, Ltd. operates its internet platforms and security businesses under the country of Switzerland's very tough privacy laws, and it owns and controls its Swiss base servers, never sells data, never mines data, never asks for phone numbers, never uses 3rd party providers, and never tracks internet traffic.
