January 2026 | Issue 13
As we begin a new year, this issue marks a milestone moment for Impact & Influence Magazine: our one-year anniversary. What started as a clear vision has become a trusted platform for leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs across our region—a place where business, integrity, and innovation meet.
This month, we proudly highlight Dragon Scale Cyber Security, winners of the 2025 BBB Torch Award. Their work stands as a reminder that trust is still the foundation of every great business, and their commitment to protecting companies in an increasingly digital world makes them a leader worth celebrating.
January is also a time for preparation. As businesses plan for 2026, we explore the strategies, insights, and forward-thinking approaches that will define success in the coming year. Whether you’re scaling, restructuring, or simply refining your process, the new year offers a clean slate—and an opportunity to elevate everything you do.
We’re also excited to introduce new expansions at Awepra, including the launch of AwepraTV and AwepraAI. These platforms mark the next chapter in our evolution, bringing more value, more tools, and more reach to the entrepreneurs and communities we serve.
As we celebrate one year of Impact & Influence, we extend our gratitude to the businesses, contributors, advertisers, and readers who have supported this publication from day one. Your belief in this vision has allowed us to build something meaningful, and we’re only just getting started.
Here’s to a year of growth, innovation, and unwavering impact.
