Nicholas Rodriguez
Owner/Operator - Soul Center
It's been really good for us. How are we going to reach more people? How are people going to find us? This is the way. Ashley (Advisor) was able to put things into words which I could never do, she was able to put together all this content for us. The amount of hours that we got and the amount of help that we got through the City of Mesa, nothing compares. Thats why I think it's more valuable than just getting a grant. I encouraged people that I knew who were business owners in our city to really get on the platform and listen to the webinars
