Vickie has never been the type to back down from a challenge. Her favorite motto is "say yes first, and then figure it out". She credits her success to her resourcefulness, hustler attitude, and the support she received from her hardworking immigrant parents who encouraged her entrepreneurial streak.
As a high school athlete, Vickie learned the gut-wrenching agony of failure as well as the satisfaction of training, grit, and goal-setting. After college, the entrepreneur in her continued to look for ways to grow and she soon became a real estate investor, focusing on the rapidly growing Phoenix AZ market.
With real estate on autopilot, Vickie found her passion in helping companies promote themselves through branded merchandise. Her unique business model helps her position herself as a trusted confidante and advisor to her clients. Vickie's dream is to leverage her network in order to bring opportunities and education to disadvantaged youth who may not follow the "traditional" path to success.
She believes everyone has a secret hidden talent and the greatest gift you can give is to unlock someone's potential

Phil Towle is a self-titled "Performance Enhancement Coach" most notable for his work with the heavy metal band Metallica, lead singer/guitarist James Hetfield, as shown in the documentary Some Kind of Monster. In it, he is shown working with the band through the process of the loss of longtime bassist Jason Newsted making their eighth studio album St. Anger.
Towle has contracted with music labels, baseball teams and other organizations when their high-profile "talent" needs help. Since 1997, his clients have included Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello, Stone Temple Pilots, Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Kevin Carter, NFL coach Dick Vermeil and others.
He is no stranger to the music business, having been in partnership with Zane Ashton (aka Bill Aken) in the early 1960s. Their record label 'Lan-Cet Records,' although small, released records like 'Tomorrow' by Gary Usher, and other records now considered to be milestones in the history of rock and roll. (Including an unusual one by the former governor of California Goodwin J. Knight) "He Was A Mean Dragon" is still being marketed by Ace Records in England and on iTunes and may very well become the longest selling novelty record in rock and roll.

Kathryn Richardson is the founder of YearCheer, a holiday subscription box that each month contains the items that help busy families connect while decorating for and celebrating holidays. She calls it every mom’s secret weapon for creating holiday magic.
Katie created YearCheer as a solution to help women like her – a corporate retail executive and mom of four kids under 10 – eliminate “mom guilt” and create magical memories with their families, all without the time or mental energy of planning those moments. The idea came after her kids asked, “What are we doing to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?” and she realized she had nothing in the house and it was too late to run to any stores.
Each YearCheer assortment is holiday-specific, including decor items such as balloons, banners and tabletop items; a children’s book; and additional crafts, activities, or games. Moms have told Katie that the fun “lasts for weeks.” Launched December 2019, YearCheer has shipped to 45 states nationwide, receiving five-star reviews from its customers, such as, “YearCheer boxes allow me to make the holidays special for my family without a lot of time or emotional energy. Highly recommend.” YearCheer has been featured on the television show Las Vegas Now, NBC10 News Boston, “The Product Boss” podcast, and many blogs.
After graduating from Northwestern University, Katie spent 20 years in the retail world managing teams of up to 175 people and businesses worth up to $900 million for top brands such as Target, Old Navy, GapKids and Under Armour. Katie lives with her husband and four children in Maryland.

Nigel Guisinger is passionate about small businesses. Having purchased, started, and saved businesses in multiple industries, Guisinger believes that the best way for real long-term wealth growth comes from creating businesses and jobs that support the local economy. Guisinger paid for his degrees from Oregon State University by working construction for a local excavation company. This lead to a career in the equipment rental industry where he worked with thousands of businesses to solve their project needs. This included saving his largest customer by purchasing a share of the company when they were struck by the downturn of 2008-2009. The investment in the glass company saved over 100 jobs.
In 2013 after seeing his town affected by the downturn Guisinger heard countless people say “somebody needs to do something” one too many times. With that Guisinger purchased a small appliance store and grew it from 350k annual sales to over $9m annual volume in a four-year period. At the same time, he started a home building company, a property holding company, a development company and has now acquired 6 more appliance stores. Guisinger has also done multiple apartment rehab projects out of state. Guisinger has purchased via SBA loans, conventional financing, creative financing, private lending, owner carried finance, and buying a business via an equipment loan.
