"At 4:30 today when we made this announcement, it has become real. This is something our team has believed in and has worked so hard towards. We've been telling this message and we have such unbelievable investors and shareholders who believed in us for all this time," said Sean Dollinger, president and CEO of Namaste in an exclusive interview with Proactive Investors.
