Epique Realty Redefines Agent Support with Launch of Free 24/7 Roadside Assistance and UrbanSitter
In a presentation that highlighted Epique Realty's profound commitment to its agents' total well-being, COO and Co-Founder Christopher Miller took the PowerCON 2025 stage to announce that two highly anticipated lifestyle benefits are now officially live.
The announcement-that all agents now have free access to a premium UrbanSitter subscription and 24/7 Roadside Assistance-was met with a wave of applause, confirming the immense value of benefits that support agents both in and out of the office.
'An agent's success isn't just measured in commissions; it's measured in their ability to build a life they love,' said Miller. 'We listened to our agents and heard a clear need for support that extends beyond the transaction. A flat tire on the way to a showing or a last-minute need for childcare shouldn't derail your business. By providing these essential services for free, we are removing real-world stress points and investing in our people, not just their production.'
The new benefits deliver immediate, practical support:
UrbanSitter: Through an exclusive partnership, agents receive free premium access to UrbanSitter's trusted network for childcare, elder care, pet sitting, and even tutoring-providing the confidence and flexibility to manage a demanding career.
24/7 Roadside Assistance: This nationwide service gives Epique's mobile workforce peace of mind with emergency fuel-ups, battery jumps, tire changes, and more. It's security for agents who are always on the move.
These benefits are part of Epique's ongoing commitment to make life for its agents not just productive-but powerfully supported.

Moderna's flu vaccine hits goal, paving way for combo shot
Shares rose as much as 5.8 percent at the start of normal trading on Monday in New York. Advertisement Moderna believes packaging the two immunizations together will lead to higher uptake of COVID vaccines. Nearly half of American adults get an annual flu shot, while only about 23 percent got the latest COVID vaccine. Moderna's flu shot, which uses mRNA technology, also could contribute to a longtime public health goal: a better standalone flu shot. That mission has only become more urgent after the US just experienced by some measures its worst flu season in 15 years. This year's flu vaccines were 56 percent effective. The company will seek approval for both its standalone flu shot and its COVID-flu combination vaccine, said Jacqueline Miller, Moderna's chief medical officer. The flu vaccine 'is such a central component of our strategy,' Miller said in an interview, adding that a combination COVID-flu shot could entice someone who 'is put off by getting two injections at once.' Advertisement Moderna's technology can make vaccines faster than the standard method, which requires growing the live virus in chicken eggs then inactivating it. That could make it easier to match the vaccine to the dominant strains that are circulating each season. The results are a rare bright spot for a company that has struggled with the decline of its COVID business and more recently, the new leadership of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine critic. Under Kennedy, US health officials have rolled back long-standing recommendations around COVID shots for children and pregnant women, approved Moderna's updated COVID shot for a narrower group of people and terminated the company's contract to develop bird flu vaccines. After the bird flu vaccine contract cancellation, the company has been 'actively seeking other funding sources' and is considering advancing the vaccine on its own, Miller said. Moderna's flu program has been on a tumultuous path. Over two years ago, the company's standalone flu vaccine yielded mixed results. Several months later, the company reported that a reformulated version produced a stronger immune response. Last year, the company said it would focus its resources on seeking approval for a flu and COVID combination vaccine because it said it would have a bigger impact.

Stephen Miller owns stock in ICE contractor Palantir — a company powering deportations
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, the architect of much of the Trump administration's anti-immigration agenda, owns up to $250,000 dollars in stock in government contractor Palantir, according to disclosures. The investment, held in one of Miller's children's brokerage accounts, raises conflict of interest red flags as the tech company continues to play a substantial role in the work of U.S. immigration officials. 'Given Palantir's contracts with ICE, and Miller's work with the agency, that raises ethics concerns,' watchdog group Citizens for Ethics in Washington wrote on X on Tuesday. The government dismissed the concerns over the holdings, which were disclosed in financial filings obtained by the Project on Government Oversight watchdog group, showing revisions as recent as June 4. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called the group's report 'very silly' while the White House claimed that Miller confirmed to ethics officials that 'he has and will continue to recuse from participating in official matters that could affect those stocks.' Palantir has long served as a government contractor, working with a variety of U.S. agencies on issues ranging from tax data to distributing vaccines, but the firm has occupied a prominent — and lucrative — role as the Trump administration pursues its mass deportation campaign. In April, the firm won a $30 million Immigration and Customs Enforcement contract to deliver an operating system tracking and managing deportations, as well as granting 'near real-time visibility' on those who 'self-deport.' Leaked chats obtained by 404 Media describe the company assisting ICE with finding the physical location of people slated for deportation. The firm is also reportedly assisting the Trump administration as it looks to streamline and centralize government data about millions of Americans, an effort which has drawn criticism from members of Congress who fear it could usher in mass surveillance. Palantir insists it is not building any 'master list' for the government, and that its separate agency customers control the data they process using Palantir tools within clear legal and ethical guardrails. Miller's reported investments are the latest sign of Palantir's deep ties with the new administration. As of December, the firm was reportedly in talks with defense tech company Anduril, as well as eventual White House advisor Elon Musk's SpaceX, to form a consortium to bid on government contracts, according to the Financial Times. Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, was among the scores of tech executives who donated to Trump's inauguration in January — $1 million, in his case — and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel was a key backer and former employer of Vice President JD Vance. Once Trump was in office, the firm won a $795 million Pentagon contract, and its name appeared among the high-profile corporate sponsors of the Army's 250th anniversary event in Washington earlier this month. Palantir's chief technology officer was among the prominent tech executives formally sworn into the Army's new innovation corps this month. The watchdog group that obtained Miller's filing identified 11 other administration officials who either currently hold or have owned stock in Palantir, though none with holdings as large as Miller. In May, a group of former Palantir employees warned in an open letter that the company was 'normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs.' 'By supporting Trump's administration, Elon Musk's DOGE initiative, and dangerous expansions of executive power, they have abandoned their responsibility and are in violation of Palantir's Code of Conduct,' the employees wrote. The company has long insisted it is guided by a patriotic mission and strict care for civil liberties. 'Palantir's founding mission and our commitment to privacy and civil liberties, which have guided our work for over 20 years, help the US government deliver essential services to the American people,' it wrote in a June blog post, after Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to company leadership criticizing it for allegedly 'enabling and profiting from serious violations of federal law by the Trump administration.'

3 Big Numbers: Couche-Tard's foodservice journey
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. 3 Big Numbers is a weekly column that looks at a few key details from around the c-store industry. When Alimentation Couche-Tard reported its fiscal fourth quarter earnings on Thursday, observers were listening for any status updates on the company's bid for Seven & i Holdings, the parent of 7-Eleven and the largest convenience retailer in the world. The news on that front was lackluster, though it seems we might at least get a timeline before long. However, President and CEO Alex Miller also took some time during the company's latest earnings call to break down the growth in Couche-Tard's Fresh Food, Fast program, which has now been added to nearly 6,200 stores globally. In this week's '3 Big Numbers,' we look at what Couche-Tard's earnings tell us about its foodservice ambitions. Couche-Tard's U.S. service and merchandise gross margin in Q4. Couche-Tard reported U.S. service and merchandise gross margins of 33.9% for the fourth quarter. That's not bad, but why start here for a column about foodservice? Because it could have been worse if not for growth in Couche-Tard's fresh food sales. While the earnings report didn't break out exact contributions, it noted that 'improved food execution was offset by higher spoilage on tobacco products.' Although they didn't share specifics about food's contribution to the bottom line, Couche-Tard clearly is optimistic about the program. 'We are early innings, but I am extraordinarily pleased about the direction' of the food program, Miller said during the call. The increase in meal deals sold in the U.S. quarter over quarter. As part of expanding its Fresh Food, Fast program, Couche-Tard has also been making sure the program is affordable for price-conscious consumers. One major pillar of that plan is meal deals. Circle K unveiled an array of specials last year — $3 for either a roller grill hot dog or Taquito with a 2-ounce bag of Frito-Lay chips and a Pepsi; $4 for a sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with a hash brown and either a Monster energy drink or coffee; and $5 for two slices of pizza and a 20-ounce Pepsi. How has it been going? In its fiscal fourth quarter, the company sold more than 500,000 of these meals per week in the U.S. That's an increase of 35% over the previous quarter, Miller said during Thursday's earnings call. That result is all the more remarkable when you consider that Couche-Tard's U.S. same-store sales were actually down slightly on the quarter. The approximate number of weekly meal deals sold in North America so far in Q1. Half a million meal deals sold per week represents strong growth for Couche-Tard in this key area. But can the company keep that momentum up? So far, so good. While we obviously don't have the full first-quarter results just yet, Miller said that North American stores have seen around 800,000 meal deal sales per week so far in the new quarter. It's hard to say if growth in the U.S. is continuing, since that figure includes both Canadian and U.S. stores. But at the very least, it shows that demand continues to be strong for these value offerings.
