Father Boyle to Speak at The Chicago School’s SoCal Commencement

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

Father Gregory Boyle, who has championed rehabilitation of former Los Angeles gang members for more than three decades, will be keynote speaker at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s Southern California commencement ceremony June 9, 2023 at the Long Beach Convention Center’s Terrace Theater. In recognition of his groundbreaking work educating, employing, and inspiring thousands of troubled youth and young adults, President Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy.D., will award Rev. Boyle a Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa. “We are honored to have Father Boyle speak to our 275 graduates about his life’s work rehabilitating individuals whom society have shunned,” said Dr. Nealon. “Father Boyle is the rare visionary who is passionate and practical—someone who is able to find solutions to what appear to be intractable problems.” Rev. Boyle was originally scheduled to speak at the 2020 commencement, which was cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown. Named a “Champion of Change” by former President Barack Obama in 2014, Rev. Boyle has been widely honored for his work, including receiving the Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. A Los Angeles native, Rev. Boyle entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) immediately after graduating from Loyola High School in 1972. Over the next dozen years, he earned a bachelor's degree in English from Gonzaga University; a master’s in English from Loyola Marymount University; a Master of Divinity from the Weston School of Theology; and a Master of Sacred Theology from the Jesuit School of Theology, now part of Santa Clara University. From 1986 to 1992 Rev. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights, Where he witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence during the “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. In 1988 Rev. Boyle started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises. Homeboy now supports around 10,000 men and women a year, offering therapy, classes, services, job training, and employment at Homeboy Bakery, Homegirl Café, or Homeboy Silkscreen & Embroidery. At the center of it all is founder Rev. Boyle, who describes his work as “radical kinship,” accompanying those who come through Homeboy at virtually every step of their journeys at Homeboy and beyond. Rev. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times -bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. Other books he has written include Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship, and The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness. “We are all invited into this exquisite mutuality where there is no us and them,” Rev. Boyle said. “Once we know that we are unshakably good and that we belong to each other, we can roll up our sleeves … and create anew this place of love and belonging that God would recognize.” About The Chicago School of Professional Psychology: Integrating theory with hands-on experience, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology provides education rooted in a commitment to innovation, service, and community for thousands of diverse students across the United States and globally.

Prepping Your Lawn & Garden to Withstand Drought

YourUpdateTV

With the sun shining and the days getting longer, it’s the time of year when homeowners across the country start to plan, prep, and plant in the yard. But while many parts of the country experienced increased precipitation this year, concerns over water consumption and drought remain, and drought conditions are predicted to return and intensify in many areas. Recently, Experts from ScottsMiracle-Gro participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss tips to help your lawn and garden withstand drought conditions this summer. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/aWNaWJe73co Water conservation and drought are top of mind for homeowners, but many don’t know how to keep their lawns thick and green while reducing water usage. Here are some quick tips to help: First, focus on having a well-fed lawn because feeding not only improves a lawn's appearance, it also helps the lawn protect itself against drought. A well-fed lawn grows deeper roots to better absorb water and nutrients. Regular feedings of Scotts® Turf Builder® Lawn Food can provide the nutrients your lawn needs to look its best and withstand the stresses of heat as well as periods of drought and dormancy. Second, be sure to get the lawn height just right. Grass mowed at the proper height develops a deeper root system to better find water and nutrients in the soil. As the season gets warmer, let your grass grow taller than you might typically would. Finally, rely on rainfall as much as you possibly can. If you choose to water, wait until it’s absolutely necessary to do so, typically when the lawn is turning brown. If you’re a person who doesn’t need to water your lawn, it’s okay to let your lawn go brown and dormant for a short period of time this summer. If you fertilize regularly, your lawn should bounce right back. When it comes to gardening, it’s all about making every drop count. To maintain a healthier, more drought-resistant garden, start with good soil. Mixing nutrient-rich organic matter, like compost or Miracle-Gro® All Purpose Garden Soil, into your existing soil not only makes it easier for your plants to grow, but it also improves the soil structure. Good soil structure means better nutrient and water holding – water is able to penetrate into the soil, instead of running off, and is held where the plants can use it. Then add mulch. Mulch not only makes your garden beds look nice and finished, but it also keeps weed seeds from sprouting which would otherwise compete with your plants for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Mulch helps keep moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation and also moderates soil temperature by shading the soil. Lastly, water smart. When you do water, water deeply, directing the water at the base of the plant. Deep watering promotes deeper roots which better withstand drought. Water in the morning or early evening, avoiding mid-day, which helps reduce water loss from evaporation. And, if possible, use drip irrigation or soaker hoses in your garden beds instead of overhead sprinklers or a hose and breaker. Also remember to properly feed plants leading up to hot, dry weather conditions because healthy, nourished plants can better withstand prolonged periods of heat and drought. When you connect Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics Garden Feeder to your garden hose, you can feed and water at the same time.

From Integrating AI To Strictly Protecting Client Data, How Online Education Company Amesite Inc Is Doing Things Differently To Disrupt Learning

Amesite Inc.

Click here to download the latest research report on Amesite Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST) CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry recently delivered a presentation at a leading Micro-Cap conference hosted by Sidoti & Company LLC. As an online platform and product developer powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Amesite is positioning itself to disrupt the current educational model. It plans to accomplish this with its robust, technology-first approach. In her presentation, Sastry set out how Detroit-based Amesite has the goal of becoming a leading education specialist for delivering improved e-learning experiences and outcomes. In 2022 Amesite started a collaboration with Microsoft for the use of its Azure cloud, and it was featured in a story on Microsoft’s website. In February of 2023, it officially adopted GPT-3, the technology behind ChatGPT, onto its learning management system (LMS). In April, it launched the anticipated Version 6.0 (V6) of its platform. V6 is integrated with GPT-4, the AI system powering Bing and ChatGPT Plus. Amesite’s platform now includes AI capabilities such as learning and creative assistants, as well as a free course on GPT fundamentals. Its generative AI capabilities mean that the platform now allows customers to create features like educational games, interactive learning experiences, leaderboards and other learning incentives. A Strong Position In A Growing Market Amesite’s vision for education and upskilling is for learners not to be educated in silos but instead, be brought into a larger learning community. The company provides a top-tier learning management system (LMS) that sits at the intersection of several industries, including AI, online education and software-as-a-service (SaaS). Amesite believes it can harness the growth of each of these markets to scale its customer base and grow revenue. Each market is poised for significant growth in the next decade. The AI market was worth $136 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.3% between 2023 and 2030. Meanwhile, the SaaS market is expected to grow from $167 billion in 2022 to $462 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 18.5% during the forecast period, and online education is projected to reach a value of $602 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 17.2% over 2023-2030. Amesite already works with numerous universities, museums, government agencies and businesses to deliver its suite of online products. Its LMS delivers a 99% retention rate across its paid products, compared with a 60% industry average retention rate. How Amesite Is Doing Education Differently Something that differentiates Amesite’s position in the market is its approach to client data. While it uses analytics to improve customer experience, the company has a strict approach of never selling data to third parties or using data for exploitative purposes. Amesite also delivers what Sastry described as the best-in-class code and architecture in its LMS. Its V6 platform tools enable the integration of thousands of application programming interfaces (APIs). These APIs, along with Amesite’s collaboration with Microsoft, mean that Amesite’s offerings are easily scalable, and are capable of fast and efficient product delivery. Its robust architecture allows the company to continuously integrate improvements into the system. In a case study released earlier this year, Amesite revealed it was able to onboard 50 courses in four days for its client, the leading commodity management company EWIE Group of Companies (EGC). On average, Amesite is able to provide a custom-branded, enterprise-scale system for clients within just 24 hours, and its easy-to-use platform means custom-developed content is fully accessible within only one month. Other companies in the space include Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR), 2U (NASDAQ: TWOU) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC). According to Amesite – citing data from a third-party source – Amesite has a higher positive consumer sentiment score and a lower negative sentiment score than any of its competitors. Learn more about how Amesite is disrupting education with AI. Amesite Inc., an artificial intelligence driven platform and course designer, provides online products in the United States. The company uses machine learning to offer a mass customized experience to learners. Its customers include businesses, universities and colleges, K-12 schools, and non-profit organizations.

Enhancing School Safety with Siyata Mobile's (NASDAQ: SYTA) SD7 Handheld Device and CrisisGo Integration

Siyata Mobile

Over recent years, the sanctity and safety of American schools have increasingly been threatened by a growing wave of violence. Despite the assumption that these institutions should be havens of learning and personal growth, stark realities of active shooter incidents, student violence against teachers, and escalating student-on-student altercations have disrupted this perception. A trend that goes beyond mere numbers and statistics, it represents a significant shift in the climate of schools across the country, leading to profound and pressing concerns over safety and security. In the wake of increasing safety concerns in K-12 schools across the United States, Siyata Mobile (NASDAQ: SYTA) and CrisisGo have partnered to provide a cutting-edge solution that enhances communication and safety preparedness. The integration of Siyata Mobile's SD7 handheld device with CrisisGo's safety platform offers a comprehensive solution to help schools stay connected and prepared for incidents, including active shooter situations. Siyata Mobile and CrisisGo Siyata Mobile is a developer and provider of communication solutions for enterprise customers, first responders, security guards, delivery/logistics companies, construction workers, and government agencies. Its products include a portfolio of push-to-talk/PTT over cellular (PoC) devices, such as rugged handsets and in-vehicle communication devices. Siyata Mobile also sells a family of cellular boosters for use in vehicles, homes, and large venues with weak signals. The company’s SD7 handset is designed for instant communication with an SOS panic button, providing a simple, easy-to-use solution for immediate communication. The SD7 is a versatile Push-to-Talk (PTT) device that can handle everyday incidents like fights or medical emergencies, to contacting first responders. The SD7 can also initiate a lockdown of the building, meeting Alyssa's Law requirements. On the other hand, CrisisGo is the leading safety platform & emergency solution trusted by over 16,000 schools. With CrisisGo, schools can cover the entire process and workflow required for safety and emergency response, integrate the technology needed to streamline safety and connect the people who make safety happen. Integration Capabilities of the SD7 and CrisisGo’s Platform The integration of the SD7 with CrisisGo's platform allows users to instantly trigger a CrisisGo panic alarm and receive mass notifications without requiring an app or login. With simple clicks of the SD7 SOS button, users can trigger a Staff Assist alert or a Lockdown alert. After triggering an alert, users can record voice information (up to 20 seconds upon configuration) to send with the alert. Alert announcements and voice information will be automatically played in SD7 when an alert is sent to the device. The SD7 handset also supports two-way communication, allowing for more effective communication between dispatch and users. It provides an immediate, two-way connection with first responders, ensuring they have all the information needed to aid in the current crisis. This feature is particularly crucial in active shooter situations where immediate communication with first responders can save lives. Furthermore, the SD7 handset can be used in a vehicle kit on school buses, providing precise location data and PTT abilities. This feature can be particularly useful during emergencies, allowing school dispatch to monitor the bus’s location and ensure that it stays on its designated route. The integration allows for the following specific functionalities: Send Alert: Upon CrisisGo integration, users can use the Siyata SD7 SOS button to trigger alerts. Three clicks of the SOS button trigger a Staff Assist alert, while seven clicks trigger a Lockdown alert. After triggering an alert, users will hear a notification sound from the SD7 device, and they may record voice information (up to 20 seconds upon configuration) to send with the alert. Receive Alert: Alert announcements and voice information will be automatically played in SD7 when an alert is sent to the device. This feature ensures that all users are immediately aware of any emergencies and can respond accordingly. Check In: When a Check In is sent to a device, the SD7 plays a notification tone and vibrates for 10 seconds, displaying the Check In question and one of the options on OLED. Users can turn the SD7 knob to switch to show other options for check-in questions and press down on the knob to select the option shown on OLED for submission. Receive Messages: When a text or audio message is sent to a device, the SD7 plays a notification tone, vibrates for 10 seconds, and displays the message content or notification on OLED. Users can press down on the knob to play audio, stop playing, or remove the audio message from the SD7. Safety iControl Access: Users can access Safety iControl, the smart command center for school administrators to initiate, manage, and monitor safety activities. This feature allows users to send alerts, check-ins, and text messages, escalate and share with external first responders or communities, manage school maps and resources, and view real-time situations on GIS. Advantages of the SD7 + CrisisGo Compared to the Old LMR System The advantages of the SD7 integrated with CrisisGo are numerous, and it represents a significant improvement over the traditional Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system. Firstly, the SD7 provides an intuitive, straightforward interface that simplifies the process of communication during emergencies. Unlike the LMR system, which can be susceptible to signal interference, the SD7's digital interface is seamless and offers a clear, uninterrupted connection. Additionally, the SD7's integration with CrisisGo enhances its functionality by allowing for the instant triggering of panic alarms and mass notifications, a capability that the LMR system lacks. Furthermore, the SD7's Push-to-Talk (PTT) capability allows for instant communication, a feature that is critical during emergencies. This instant communication capability far surpasses the LMR system, which often requires several steps to establish a communication channel. The SD7's two-way communication feature also enhances the flow of information between the users and first responders, ensuring they have all the necessary details in real time. Unlike the LMR system, the SD7 uses cellular networks that allow the user access to nation-wide coverage compared to limited-ranged radio networks. This means the SD7 can be used in a multitude of environments and situations, such as on school premises, on field trips, at sporting events and other locations effectively without worry of radio connectivity. Lastly, the SD7 offers the potential for integration with vehicle systems, providing precise location data and enhancing the safety of school buses, a feature that the LMR system cannot match. Through these advancements, the SD7 and CrisisGo integration offers a modern, comprehensive solution that greatly surpasses the capabilities of the traditional LMR system in ensuring the safety of K-12 schools. Siyata Has Secured Large Purchase Orders Recently, While Continuing to Expand its Distribution Footprint Siyata Mobile has recently received multiple significant orders for its products and has continued to expand its distribution network. In total, Siyata has recently received orders with a combined value of $3.85 million: In terms of recent orders, the company has announced a $1.2 million order for its UV350 In-Vehicle Devices and “Siyata Real-Time View,” from a repeat customer adding more devices to their fleet of ambulances. The 'Siyata Real-Time View' product provides in-fleet video monitoring, offering high-resolution video that can be accessed in real-time or retrieved later via cloud storage. The video software creates a recurring revenue stream for Siyata from a license fee. Siyata also received a $750,000 order for its next-generation MCPTT (mission-critical push-to-talk) solution from an independent emergency management service (EMS) provider. This order includes the company's SD7 devices and related accessories, which will be used in a variety of mission-critical situations, including in ambulances and other emergency vehicles. The SD7 device operates over the high bandwidth 4G LTE network and is IP68 rated, making it resistant to water, dust, and drops, perfect for use in harsh environments. The company also secured a $900,000 order to supply a U.S. public school district with its SD7 handsets and accessories. This order represents the company's largest in the education market to date. The SD7 handset will provide teachers and school staff with a reliable means of communication and the ability to notify first responders in case of an emergency. Furthermore, a school district in the Southwest U.S. placed a $600,000 purchase order with Siyata to equip teachers with SD7 handsets and associated accessories, which will enable direct communication capabilities with first responders and other school officials. On June 5 th, Siyata received an additional purchase order of $400,000 for its SD7 handsets and their associated VK7 vehicle kits. The order effectively expands the company’s SD7 footprint into the education, healthcare and construction sectors. On the distribution front, Siyata announced a distribution reseller agreement with Two Way Direct, Inc. in April 2023 to offer the SD7 device nationally. In addition, Siyata has announced a global expansion into the Netherlands through a distribution deal with KPN Royal Dutch Telecom, a leading telecommunications and IT service provider in the region. As a part of the deal, KPN will now offer the SD7 device and associated accessories through its KPN PTT service. This offering is primarily targeted at medium and large-scale government and corporate entities. In addition to KPN, Siyata’s distribution features wireless carrier partners include AT&T, FirstNet, Verizon, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Bell Mobility (Canada), and Telstra (Australia). Fundamental Research Corp. Issues Updated Research Report Giving Siyata a Fair Value of $0.46; Zacks Investment Research Issues Price Target of $0.75 Equity research company, Fundamental Research Corp., issued an updated report on Siyata dated May 30, 2023. In the report, the firm highlighted the strong growth that is being driven by the SD7 handheld devices. As a result, the firm reiterated its “buy” rating for Siyata and issued a fair value price of $0.46. On an estimated basis for full-year 2023, Fundamental Research Corp. believes Siyata could generate total revenue of $10.38 million while maintaining a strong financial footing with cash estimates of $489,521, total assets of $15.01 million and working capital of $1.35 million. For the full-year 2024, the equity research firm estimates revenues growing to $14.81 million and the company's financial position further improving: estimated cash holdings of $1.03 million, total assets of $15.69 million, and working capital of $1.86 million. “We believe SYTA should be able to maintain its growth momentum in the coming quarters, driven by new distribution partners,” noted the equity research report. On June 5, 2023, Zacks Investment Research also issued an updated equity research report, after the company’s strong Q1 2023 and recent updated on new sales and distribution opportunities. As a result of the equity research firm’s discounted cash flow (DCF) model, the company has issued a new price target of $0.75 for Siyata Mobile. “We believe Siyata Mobile is on track to generate strong double-digit revenue growth rates going forward. We expect overall gross margins to increase steadily from current levels as volume levels increase,” according to the Zacks report. “Based on our 2023 revenue estimates of $12.2 million, SYTA is selling at a Price/Sales ratio of approximately 0.65x. The peer group average Price/Sales ratio is 2.35x and the sector median is 2.73x. These relative valuations support a significantly higher stock price for SYTA,” Zacks analysts concluded. Conclusion In the face of burgeoning school safety concerns, the partnership between Siyata Mobile and CrisisGo, fusing the SD7 handheld device and CrisisGo's safety platform, presents a groundbreaking solution designed to reinforce preparedness and communication during emergencies. The integration capitalizes on the strengths of each technology, creating an intuitive and effective tool that streamlines the process of initiating a response, managing safety workflows, and enabling immediate, two-way communication with first responders. Far superior to traditional Land Mobile Radio systems, the SD7-CrisisGo integration allows for a real-time panic alarm activation, mass notifications, and immediate communication, both in daily scenarios and critical incidents. An invaluable feature is the device's adaptability for use in school buses, augmenting safety through precise location data and push-to-talk capabilities. Siyata Mobile's recent success in securing significant purchase orders and expanding its distribution network underscores the market's recognition of the potential these innovations carry. Notably, the $900,000 order from a U.S. public school district represents a landmark in the education sector, signifying the industry's trust in Siyata Mobile's ability to deliver reliable and efficient solutions. Furthermore, Siyata's global expansion strategy, as demonstrated by its partnership with Two Way Direct, Inc. and KPN Royal Dutch Telecom, widens the reach of these transformative solutions. Finally, Fundamental Research Corp's "buy" rating for Siyata, along with an encouraging revenue growth projection, reflects the industry's optimism about the company's growth trajectory, largely driven by the SD7 handheld devices. Therefore, Siyata Mobile's concerted efforts towards innovative solutions for school safety represent a game-changing approach to meet the urgent needs of today's educational institutions.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Gastonia, NC Has Grand Opening for New Father-Son Team Tony & David Marder

Minuteman Press International Inc

Tony and David Marder are the new owners of the Minuteman Press franchise in Gastonia, NC. In January of 2023, Tony and David purchased Minuteman Press in Gastonia from retiring owners Pam and Bill Joles, who owned the business for nearly 32 years since July of 1991. On Thursday, May 25, 2023, Tony and David held their official Grand Opening at their shop located at 495 East Long Avenue in Gastonia. The event was sponsored by the Gaston Business Association and had a fiesta theme that included margaritas, festive appetizers, a food truck, and a mariachi band. There were also plenty of raffles as well as a ribbon-cutting ceremony that served as a celebration of Tony and David’s new venture while Pam and Bill were also in attendance to help pass the torch. In the below interview, Tony shares how he and David originally came into contact with Pam and Bill, and how that relationship grew to the point of purchasing the business. Tony also shares how he’s been building his business since the purchase and why print is so vital today. You purchased the business after working in the shop for a couple of years. What were your roles/experiences as employees and what drove you to buy the business? Tony Marder: “Interestingly, even before working in the shop, Pam and Bill Joles were previous coaching clients. We met via our local BNI and Chamber memberships. At the time, I focused my business coaching with family-owned businesses and Pam and Bill engaged me to assist. I noticed how they were avid readers and spent focused time on goal-setting and systemization. Just before and during the pandemic closures, I asked if they needed someone very part time for deliveries or light finishing work to fill some of my open schedule. At some point in early 2021, I asked Bill ‘how he intended to land this thing’ and he said, “Why? You want to buy a business?” My answer was, “Absolutely not!” But an hour later I mentioned that I felt this may be a good fit for me and my son David, whom I know to be very adept and resourceful with machines and computers and technology in general. David joined the team as print production specialist in May of 2021 specifically to learn the finishing work. Having a bit of a graphics background didn’t hurt either and he quickly added pre-print typesetting and other aspects of pre-print work to his overview. Knowing this was a good fit and having almost two years of on-the-Job experience with Pam and Bill made it a much easier decision for us to move forward.” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Tony Marder: “Having experience with franchise teams, I expected the support system to be there. I was especially impressed with the FLEX software and the strength of the training and process protocols. The local team made the transition easy and the Home Office training team is concise and thorough. Every call or need is quickly handled and everyone jumps in to help with urgency as needed.” How do you describe your business and capabilities to potential clients? Tony Marder: “We can produce anything that can be printed or find someone in our organization that can; we will produce and deliver quickly high quality work that helps them run or grow their business or organization.” What are the high-demand products and key growth areas? Tony Marder: “Our most requested items are business cards, forms, labels, stickers, letterhead and envelopes, booklets, manuals, newsletters and mailings. We would like to feature more mailings, interior signage, posters, decals and graphic design.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business since taking over in January of 2023? Tony Marder: “Relationship marketing via phone and face to face direct marketing to existing and past clients, as well as SEO/SEM Marketing, active membership in the local chamber and Rotary. Planning now for future postcard mailings featuring postcard mailing as well as special promotions.” How would you best describe your community? Tony Marder: “We have a small but dedicated and loyal community. We are a volunteer and philanthropic community of diverse folks raising families and enjoying our corner of the world. We have a lot of natural resources that draws a wide range of individuals to the area spanning entrepreneurs, professionals, service-related businesses and manufacturers. We enjoy the closeness of the Charlotte, NC Metro area without the cumbersome things that make larger cities less attractive. Around here we say that ‘we don’t tell anybody about it, but if they find it on their own then it’s perfectly okay with us.’” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Tony Marder: “Print is everywhere. I can’t go anywhere without seeing print in action. Every business or organization uses print at some level; either to run or grow their business. I feel email and social media marketing has its place but lacks a personal touch or relationship that could be developed. Print solidifies other marketing sources and cements brand recognition. People read, so giving them something to read is the best way to keep them engaged.” What are the biggest rewards of owning your business? Tony Marder: “This is a cashflow business with a lot of upside potential. Cash is certainly king when it comes to owning your business and this one is no different. Personally, I’m in it to help my son secure a future and continue to provide inspiration for the team. I’d like to see us increase what we can give back to our community and find more ways to engage the public.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Tony Marder: “Attract and hire people smarter than you, then get out of their way and give them room to shine. Find a mentor who has documented experience with the legal, financial and accounting arenas and do not resist being pushed closer to the fire. Get in there and get it done.” For more information about Minuteman Press in Gastonia, NC, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nc/gastonia/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com
