On the occasion of International Youth Day 2026, Youth for Global Peace and Transformation (YGPT), the youth wing of MaitriBodh Parivaar, hosted the third annual edition of Meet My Maitreya, bringing together young minds for an open and thought-provoking dialogue with spiritual visionary, global humanitarian, founder Maitreya Dadashreeji. Hundreds of youth gathered in person at ShantiKshetra Premgiri Ashram, while 50+ schools and institutions from across India joined online with their faculty and students to witness the moment.

The annual gathering explored some of the defining questions confronting today's youth, from uncertainty, purpose and technology to mental well-being, social movements, substance abuse, leadership and everlasting peace. The interaction sought to encourage young people to look within, think independently and take responsibility for the direction of their lives.

Opening the discourse, Maitreya Dadashreeji reflected on how every generation questions the circumstances created by the one before it. The deeper question he raised was, “Are young people living by goals that genuinely belong to them, or are they pursuing goals imposed by someone else? It is important to examine the motivations behind our choices and learn to distinguish between what others direct us to pursue and what truly emerges from our own inner voice.”

At the same time, the dialogue cautioned against reducing an entire generation to a label. He expressed, “Gen Z, like every generation, is diverse, and young people need not allow categories to define their identity or potential.”

With artificial intelligence rapidly transforming education, careers and everyday life, the discourse also underlined the need for young people to understand AI rather than remain passive users of it. On the question of whether young people should stand with the government or oppose it, the discussion advocated a sense of responsibility towards the nation. Dadashreeji shared, “Young people need not support or oppose anyone blindly. Their responsibility is towards the nation. They should support policies of the government that they believe serve the country, and where they disagree, they should constructively suggest improvements.”

Dadashreeji urged young people to work meaningfully and peacefully towards the betterment of their communities and states. “The youth of today have a responsibility to serve the nation, especially rural India, which represents the majority of our country. The opportunities, knowledge and privileges they have access to must reach even the villages, so that no one is left behind. Bring real change with your involvement.”

The same principle emerged strongly in the discussion around peace: the answer to conflict need not be another conflict. The gathering and His presence reaffirmed a pro-peace approach, over a protest approach, emphasizing that meaningful change can be pursued through calm, constructive and peaceful action.

The third edition of Meet My Maitreya ultimately moved beyond the celebration of a single day. It created a space for young people to question, reflect and engage with issues that directly shape their lives, their future and our nation’s. At its heart was a call for youth to move from external validation to inner clarity, from complaint to responsibility, from reaction to conscious action, and from confrontation to peaceful transformation.

Redefining How Customers Enable Certified Power Infrastructure

Greenville, SC, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Integrated Power Services (IPS), North America’s leading provider of end-to-end electrical, mechanical, and power management solutions, today announced the launch of IPS ReCert, a first-of-its-kind switchboard recertification program certified to UL 891. 

IPS ReCert expands the company’s portfolio of new and reconditioned UL 891 switchboards by giving electrical distribution equipment a fully tested, code-compliant second life. The program helps customers restore critical switchboard capacity in less than eight weeks, providing a faster, certified alternative to full equipment replacement. 

As demand for electrical infrastructure accelerates, driven in part by the rapid expansion of AI-enabled data centers, industrial and facility operators – and the EPCs and electrical contractors delivering their projects – are facing extended lead times for critical power equipment. In many cases, new switchgear deliveries are measured in months, creating operational risk for customers who cannot afford downtime. 

IPS ReCert addresses this gap by providing a faster alternative. The program provides recertified dead-front switchboards from 225A to 6,000A at 600V and below to the full UL 891 standard, the same standard applied to new equipment. Each unit is certified by Intertek, an OSHA-recognized Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), and bears the ETL Refurbished Listed mark, meeting NEC code requirements. 

In addition to speed, IPS Recert gives customers a cost-effective alternative to new gear, freeing up capital budget for other priorities. Every recertified unit undergoes the complete UL 891 routine test sequence and is backed by a two-year warranty, ensuring performance, safety, and compliance.  

“Our customers – from hospitals to industrial facilities – need critical electrical equipment operations running safely. IPS ReCert supports that,” said Tony Locker, Senior Vice President, IPS Power Management Division. “We are delivering fully certified, code-compliant switchboards in weeks, not months. This is exactly where IPS adds value for EPCs, contractors, and facility operators managing tight schedules and budgets, solving real operational constraints with speed, value, and quality.” 

First in the Field: Leading Aggregate Supplier 

A leading supplier of aggregates and building materials across North America was the first to implement IPS ReCert. Faced with extended OEM lead times for a critical 3,000A switchboard, the company turned to IPS for a faster solution. 

When waiting for new equipment wasn’t an option, IPS delivered a fully recertified unit that met all specifications and kept the project moving. That combination of speed, quality, and project compliance is what makes a meaningful difference for IPS customers.  

Availability 

IPS ReCert switchboards are currently available through IPS’s Burlington service center, a national electrical distribution center of excellence, with additional locations planned.

Freight forwarder scores #1 overall, best value

Lynden Logistics

Anchorage, AK, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For the fourth consecutive year, Lynden Logistics was voted the #1 airfreight forwarder in the annual Quest for Quality awards, including being rated the best value out of all companies. Lynden Logistics’ combined scores in performance, value, information technology, customer service, and equipment & operations added up to the highest overall score for the category. This year marks the 20th Quest for Quality award for the forwarder.

“We are honored and proud to receive our 20th Quest for Quality Award,” says Lynden Logistics President Brian MacAskill. “We routinely ask our customers for feedback on our performance, and this award shows us that we are meeting their needs. From our sales teams to warehouse crews, we are all dedicated to the Lynden brand of customer service: reliable, responsive delivery, continuous improvement and innovation, and an emphasis on building lasting partnerships with our customers for shared business success.”

Logistics Management’s Quest for Quality Awards recognizes the highest level of service and performance excellence for carriers, ports and logistics providers worldwide. The program includes a six-month research project conducted by Peerless Research Group (PRG). To determine the ‘best of the best,’ transportation and supply chain decision makers rate carriers, third-party logistics (3PL) service providers and U.S. port operators strictly on the basis of service quality. This year, 2,867 ballots were cast resulting in 150 transportation and logistics providers earning Quest for Quality gold.

“Now in its 43rd year, the Quest for Quality Awards program continues to stand out in the industry for the simple fact that it’s not a popularity contest,” says Michael Levans, Group Editorial Director of Peerless Media’s Supply Chain Group. “Instead, this annual survey of Logistics Management readers is by invitation only, ensuring that all participants are qualified shippers that use the services of these carriers and service providers on a regular basis. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this year’s results is the continued strength of the partnerships between shippers and their logistics providers.” 

Lynden Logistics is part of the Lynden family of companies. Lynden provides transportation and logistics solutions in Alaska, Canada, the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii and globally. Extensive multi-modal capabilities allow customers to optimize time and cost by shipping via air, land or sea, or in any combination. For more than a century, Lynden has been helping customers get the job done. To learn more, visit www.lynden.com.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snuggle Me^® Organic, the brand beloved by parents for its minimal, modern baby essentials, introduces the Infant Lounger Wave, its most considered expression yet of a belief that has guided Snuggle Me since day one: supporting a baby well means supporting the parent too. The Infant Lounger Wave brings a 2-in-1 design for supervised lounging and tummy time, together with the brand’s new SnuggleCore Ergonomic Comfort System, using targeted ergonomic contouring to reduce strain at baby’s key pressure points.

The Infant Lounger Wave is designed to support both baby and parent: for baby, a familiar and comforting place to lounge, play, and bond; for parents, a trusted second set of arms when they need a safe place to set baby down during supervised awake time.

“We’re always listening to real parents to understand their everyday challenges of caring for a baby and look for ways thoughtful innovation can make those moments better,” said Olivia Davis, General Manager of Snuggle Me Organic. “Those earliest months are filled with questions about comfort, safety and doing what’s best for your baby, and that’s exactly what our community has taught us. The Infant Lounger Wave is the result of years of conversations with our community, and it reflects everything we’ve learned about what parents actually need, not just what a lounger should do.”

That collaboration paired the instincts of real parents under the brand’s “Designed by you. Made by us.” philosophy with the expertise of Snuggle Me’s award-winning design team, whose expertise shaped every detail of the Wave, from its everyday practicality to the new ergonomic contouring.

At the heart of the Infant Lounger Wave is the brand’s new SnuggleCore Ergonomic Comfort System, an innovative multi-firmness surface engineered to relieve pressure at the head and tailbone, the two highest-pressure contact points for babies lying on their backs. Prolonged time in the same position can concentrate pressure and contribute to muscle tension and other concerns. Softer foam cushions these areas where baby needs it most, while gentle support cradles the spine and firmer cushions contour the torso for balanced stability. Rather than relying on a single foam density throughout, SnuggleCore uses these multiple comfort zones to provide more intentional support across baby’s natural pressure points.

The 2-in-1 design of the Infant Lounger Wave is perfect for supervised lounging while awake and tummy time, meaning one product does the work of two. Less to buy, less to pack, and one less decision in a season already full of them. The included 100% organic cotton carry tote makes that same familiar comfort just as easy to bring along, whether the day includes a visit to grandparents or a longer trip away, so a change of scenery doesn’t have to mean a change in routine for baby. Knowing that baby gear can quickly fill a home, the Wave’s nine signature materials, including three new prints, all designed in calm, considered neutrals and soft patterns meant to complement a home rather than compete with it.

Every surface of the Infant Lounger Wave that touches baby is wrapped in Snuggle Me’s signature buttery-soft, breathable 100% organic fabric, the premium material families have come to know and trust against their baby’s skin. The fully removable, machine-washable outer layer was designed for the realities of inevitable spills and spit-ups, upgraded to dry faster after washing so the lounger can get back into the family’s routine sooner.

This launch represents the next evolution of Snuggle Me’s category-defining approach to infant loungers, building on nearly two decades of innovation and trust. As with the award-winning Infant Lounger Curve, the Wave reflects Snuggle Me’s uncompromising commitment to safety, meeting the latest U.S. federal safety standards while continuing to evolve alongside the needs of modern families.

Safety reminder: Baby loungers, including the Snuggle Me Infant Lounger Wave, are designed exclusively for supervised awake time. They are not intended for sleep and should always be used on a flat, stable floor surface. The Wave has been designed and tested to meet the relevant U.S. safety standards for infant support cushions. Complete safety guidance for Snuggle Me loungers is available at https://snugglemeorganic.com/pages/snuggle-me-safety-loungers.

Designed for babies up to 9 months old, the Infant Lounger Wave retails for $119.99 and is sold in new, high-quality box packaging, making it a considered gifting choice for new or expecting parents. Optional organic muslin covers, retailing for $29.99, easily slide on and off to provide added protection against everyday spills and leaks.

Microbiome Innovator Recognized for 1,624% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tiny Health, the microbiome intelligence platform for precision health at every stage of life, today announced it has been ranked No. 208 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Among Biotech companies on this year’s list, Tiny Health ranked fourth, with 1,624% growth between 2022 and 2025, and on pace to triple revenue by year’s end.

“I founded Tiny Health in 2020, when my son was one week old. Potential investors kept telling me the market was too small and that pediatrics was too niche. Today, our fastest-growing segment is adults, and we’re the market leader in gut and vaginal microbiome testing from the first 1,000 days to healthy aging,” said Cheryl Sew Hoy, founder and CEO of Tiny Health.

Over the past year, Tiny Health has published three studies in rapid succession. Its first randomized controlled trial published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Infant Restore, showed that personalized microbiome interventions reduced infants’ odds of allergic conditions by 83% [1]. The company also published research linking early-life gut microbiome profiles to eczema and food allergies in Frontiers in Microbiomes [2], and a preprint demonstrating that its proprietary technology outperforms industry benchmarks in detecting clinically-relevant microbes across all life stages [3].

The science is matched by commercial momentum, as the company continues to scale its Powered by Tiny B2B platform, now embedded in the workflows of more than 5,000 healthcare practitioners and integrated with partners including Superpower, Joi + Blokes, Resbiotic, Fullscript, Mayo Clinic, Pritikin, and leading digital health platforms.

“We’re honored to be named to this year’s Inc. 5000 list, and our growth trajectory reflects the urgent demand in the market, from families trying to understand what’s happening beneath the surface of their health and take action, to health practitioners and digital health companies integrating our microbiome insights into their patient experiences,” Sew Hoy said. “We’re proof that you can build a rigorous science company and a fast-growing one at the same time. We’re redefining the microbiome as a standard layer of personalized health. This is the next frontier of medicine.”

Sew Hoy’s story is featured among this year’s honoree profiles, along with the full Inc. 5000 list available at www.inc.com/inc5000.

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

The picture book follows a young alligator’s journey through the wetlands of the Palmetto State, where she discovers that true friendship means showing up for one another no matter how different you may be.

Palmetto Friends

Charleston, SC, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Palmetto Publishing has released Palmetto Friends, a new children’s picture book by Michelle Caddell. Set in the swamps and waterways of the South Carolina Lowcountry, the book follows a young alligator who must leave home for the first time and discovers that kindness and courage can turn strangers into lifelong friends. 

The story centers on Allie Gator, a young alligator who has spent her life in a cozy swamp surrounded by muscadine grapevines, towering palmetto trees, and warm patches of sunlight perfect for napping. When her mother tells her she has grown too big and must make the journey to the big river, Allie faces a daunting reality: she has to travel through the Lowcountry alone. Along the way, she encounters the vibrant wildlife of the region, from snapping turtles to brown water snakes and river otters. 

Allie’s journey takes a turn when she rescues Snappy, an alligator snapping turtle stuck on his back. That single act of helping sets off a chain of encounters that reshape her adventure. She and Snappy soon meet Sissy, a brown water snake tired of being judged for something she is not, and Ollie, a playful river otter always ready for the next challenge. The four unlikely companions must work together and face their fears as they navigate the trail ahead, but whether they can find what they are all looking for remains uncertain. 

The book is positioned for readers ages four to eight and their caregivers, particularly families seeking social-emotional learning content grounded in a real regional setting. It sits alongside titles such as The Pout-Pout Fish and Stellaluna on the picture book shelf, where stories about friendship, belonging, and not judging by appearances continue to resonate with parents and educators. Caddell’s background as a preschool educator lends the narrative a classroom-tested understanding of how young children process themes of resilience, emotional courage, and found family. 

Palmetto Friends is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

About the Author: Michelle Caddell was a devoted preschool educator for more than fifteen years, creating a classroom where every child felt safe, valued, and loved. Her deep commitment to social-emotional learning shaped everything she did, and she believed that grit, empathy, and kindness were skills children could carry for a lifetime. Her work with young learners gave her a rare understanding of how stories could open hearts and build character. 
 
Michelle’s passion for teaching led her to write Palmetto Friends, a children’s picture book set in the vibrant Lowcountry of South Carolina. Inspired by the diverse wildlife she and her students encountered, she crafted a story in which a cast of local creatures must work together to overcome an obstacle none of them can face alone. Through their adventure, young readers discover that true friendship is not about being the same; it is about showing up for one another and lending a helping hand. Michelle wanted children to see that animals are living creatures worthy of respect, and that no one should be judged by how they look on the outside. 
 
Though Michelle passed away before seeing Palmetto Friends in print, the book stands as her final, beautiful gift to children everywhere. It carries forward the lessons she spent her career teaching: resilience, compassion, and the courage to help others in all circumstances. Her story continues to inspire the young readers she cherished most. Follow Michelle Caddell for updates on new releases.

Revenue Growth Accelerates Sequentially to 39% in Q2, Driven Mainly by New Customer Wins

Commercial Momentum Includes $500,000+ Research Institute Agreement and New Government and Intelligence Customers

NEW YORK, NY, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cyabra, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYAB) (“Cyabra” or the “Company”), a company whose artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered platform helps governments and enterprises detect coordinated manipulation and protect digital trust, today reports financial results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2026.

The second quarter marked record revenue for Cyabra, as organizations across the public and private sectors increasingly turned to the Company’s AI-powered narrative intelligence platform to identify coordinated influence campaigns, bot activity, and synthetic online threats. Revenue growth accelerated to 39% year-over-year in the second quarter from 12% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting new customer wins and increased revenue from existing customers. During and following the quarter, Cyabra also expanded its international government and intelligence footprint, added new commercial relationships, broadened its routes to market, and continued to advance its AI-powered technology platform.

Dan Brahmy, Cyabra’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer stated: “Our second quarter 2026 results represent the highest quarterly revenue in Cyabra’s history and reflect the growing demand for our AI-powered narrative intelligence platform as organizations increasingly recognize that understanding and mitigating online manipulation has become mission critical.  Revenue grew 39% year-over-year, driven by new customer wins and expanded engagement with existing customers. We believe this acceleration, together with continued expansion within our existing relationships, demonstrates increasing commercial traction for our platform.

During and following the second quarter, we expanded our relationships with government and intelligence organizations in Europe and Asia-Pacific, secured an agreement valued at more than $500,000 with a leading international research institute, and broadened our routes to market through relationships with Carahsoft Technology Corp and Onclusive, Inc. At the same time, we continued to invest in our technology, including the launch of Coordinated Activity Detection. Importantly, we also strengthened our balance sheet through our recent financing and earned recognition from Gartner, Inc.® (“Gartner”) as a Market Shaper in the Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence. Together, we believe these milestones strengthen our commercial foundation and support the next phase of our growth.

“We believe these achievements reinforce Cyabra’s position at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and digital trust. We believe we are operating at the convergence of several powerful trends — the rapid adoption of AI, the proliferation of AI-generated content, increasing cybersecurity threats, and the growing need for governments and enterprises to understand what is authentic online. As organizations confront increasingly sophisticated disinformation campaigns, coordinated influence operations, and AI-generated content, demand for trusted narrative intelligence continues to grow.

“Our strategy is focused on converting this growing market need into sustainable revenue growth — winning new customers, expanding existing relationships, broadening our distribution, and continuing to innovate our technology platform. With accelerating revenue growth, an expanding customer base and strengthened balance sheet, we believe we are building the commercial foundation to scale Cyabra and create long-term value for shareholders,” Mr. Brahmy concluded.

2026 Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

• Delivered record quarterly revenue of $1.9 million, an increase of 39% compared to $1.3 million in quarterly revenue for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting continued customer adoption and expansion.
• Signed an agreement valued at more than $500,000 with a leading international research institute to provide AI-powered narrative intelligence and disinformation security solutions, adding a meaningful commercial win during the quarter.
• Secured a new European government customer, expanding Cyabra’s international public sector presence and demonstrating growing demand for AI-powered narrative intelligence among sovereign organizations.
• Announced a multi-year, six-figure agreement with a prominent Asia-Pacific intelligence agency following quarter-end, further expanding Cyabra’s sovereign and defense footprint, and reinforcing growing global demand for AI-powered narrative intelligence to combat digital threats and coordinated influence campaigns.
• Completed a $6.0 million private placement with participation from new and existing institutional investors, members of management, and the Board of Directors, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet to support continued commercial expansion and product innovation.
• Expanded U.S. public sector reach through the Company’s strategic collaboration with Carahsoft Technology Corp., providing federal, state, and local government agencies with streamlined access to Cyabra’s AI-powered narrative intelligence platform.
• Partnered with Onclusive, Inc. to combine its global media intelligence platform with Cyabra’s AI-powered authenticity analysis, creating an additional route to enterprise users through established media-intelligence workflows and helping organizations distinguish authentic online conversations from coordinated manipulation and disinformation.
• Launched Coordinated Activity Detection, a new AI agent that automates Cyabra’s proprietary analyst investigation methodology to identify coordinated inauthentic behavior and deliver a single, evidence-backed verdict for every investigation at scale, extending the platform’s ability to automate complex analysis.
• Recognized as a Market Shaper in the inaugural June 2026 Gartner®¹ Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence — Startup Vendors, in which Gartner formally defined and assessed the narrative intelligence market for the first time. Cyabra believes this provides third-party recognition of Cyabra’s position in the emerging narrative intelligence market.
• Strengthened the executive leadership team with the appointment of David Low as the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer, further accelerating the next phase of our commercial growth.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue increased by 39% to a record $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Growth was driven primarily by new customer wins, which contributed approximately $0.7 million of revenue during the quarter, together with increased revenue from existing customers. These gains were partially offset by customers that did not renew their contracts during 2026.

Cost of revenue increased to approximately $0.3 million, compared to $0.2 million in the prior-year period, reflecting higher revenue levels.

Gross profit increased by 39% to approximately $1.5 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, while gross margin remained approximately 84%, demonstrating the scalability of the Company’s software platform.

Research and development expenses increased by 12% to approximately $2.1 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher payroll and personnel-related costs, together with increased software and cloud infrastructure investments supporting continued platform innovation.

Sales and marketing expenses declined by 10% to approximately $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher personnel-related costs, reflecting continued operating discipline while supporting commercial growth.

General and administrative expenses slightly increased to approximately $1.3 million from approximately $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher payroll, insurance, travel, and facility-related expenses.

Operating loss improved to approximately $3.1 million, compared to approximately $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher gross profit and lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by continued investment in personnel.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was approximately $3.4 million, compared to approximately $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily from higher personnel-related costs, as well as increase in non-cash finance expenses, partially offset by increase in gross profit, and a decrease in share-based payment expenses.

As Ethos deepens its commitment to reaching families through the power of sports, Andrews joins David Ortiz and Boomer Esiason in making the case for life insurance

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ethos (NASDAQ: LIFE), a leading life insurance technology company on a mission to democratize access to life insurance, today announced that it has signed its next sports partner, Erin Andrews, Fox Sports NFL reporter, co-host of 99 To Beat, entrepreneur, and cervical cancer survivor. Andrews will serve as a national ambassador for Ethos in an upcoming campaign, details of which will be announced at a later date.

“I’ve spent my career around athletes who prepare obsessively for every possible outcome on the field,” said Erin Andrews. “But when it comes to protecting their families financially, so many people, athletes and fans alike, just haven’t gotten around to it. I’ve been through enough in my own life to know that you can’t wait for the perfect moment. I’m proud to be joining the Ethos family, and I can’t wait to share more.”

The signing marks the latest chapter in Ethos’ deepening relationship with the world of sports. Earlier this year, the company launched a campaign with baseball Hall of Famer David Ortiz, whose own near-death experience and profound personal losses gave powerful authenticity to the message that no family should be left without a plan. In late 2025, Ethos partnered with NFL legend and broadcaster Boomer Esiason, who has spoken openly about losing his mother at age seven—a tragedy made harder by the absence of life insurance. These three sports figures have stories that couldn’t be more different. But a common thread runs through them: each has lived through enough to know that preparation and protection aren’t abstract concepts — they define what happens to the people you love most.

Erin Andrews brings a different and complementary dimension to that story. Having navigated serious personal health challenges in the public eye, Andrews speaks to audiences that previous Ethos partners have not always reached, particularly women and younger families who are among the most underserved demographics when it comes to life insurance coverage.

“Erin Andrews is someone who commands trust and authentic connection across an enormous and diverse audience,” said Prassath Leelakrishnan, Chief Growth Officer at Ethos. “She speaks to fans, to families, to women who are thinking about their futures. And she brings genuine conviction to this partnership. Together with Boomer and David, she completes a remarkable group of sports voices who each carry a personal understanding of why this matters. We look forward to sharing more about what we’re building together.”

The signing reflects Ethos’ broader strategic vision: to build a roster of trusted sports voices who each speak authentically to a different corner of the American family. Ethos is working to ensure that no matter who you are or where you encounter the brand, you find a face and a story that feels like yours.
