Entrepreneur Magazine recognizes Robert Nikic as the world’s top dropshipping marketer.

CLEARWATER, Fla., April 12, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
In 2011, Robert Nikic launched the world’s first dropshipping marketing platform as a service. In 2018, that platform became Why Unified, and it was made available to people around the world as an all-in-one solution for dropshipping. 

His success in completely disrupting the dropshipping industry has become evident thanks to a recent Entrepreneur article recognizing him as the “World’s #1 Dropshipping Marketer.” 

Why Dropshipping?

Robert Nikic was no stranger to dropshipping when he came up with the idea for Why Unified. Before designing the first iteration of Why Unified, he had attempted to build and run a successful eCommerce store with no luck. After years of time and effort, he quickly realized that he wasn’t the problem – the tools available to him were. The world needed a simple platform that gave entrepreneurs everything they needed to create, manage, and grow a dropshipping business in one place. As such, Robert shifted his focus. Rather than trying to build a successful eCommerce venture, he decided he was going to turn dropshipping on its head. 

Today, Why Unified has 20,000 users, and that number is expected to climb in the next few years as Why Unified continues to conform to the needs of its users and the rapidly-shifting industry. 

Why Unified Today

Today’s Why Unified is much different than the version launched to the public in 2018, and there’s a good reason for that. Robert believes that as the times change, the tools and services used by entrepreneurs need to change with them. “When I started dropshipping, the tools were terrible,” Robert says. “I was paying for tools to make the process simpler, but all they did was make it more complicated. I knew there had to be a better way.”

Much to Robert’s dismay, there wasn’t a better way. That’s why he built one himself, and today, he’s being recognized as the world’s most renowned dropshipping marketer. The current iteration of Why Unified is focused on giving users a completely managed experience without taking the control out of their hands. It’s as simple as choosing a store from more than 10 industries, then listing the products on one or more sales channels. “We are working hard to expand our offering of products, and we’re adding new ones all the time. We are also negotiating with major sales channels to make integration easier. We’ve secured deals with multi-national conglomerates, but others are in the works,” according to Robert. 

Robert Nikic worked hard to rise the ranks and become Entrepreneur’s Worlds #1 Dropshipping Marketer. In fact, his platform was so successful that he eventually did build an eCommerce store of his own, but he later sold it after using his own platform – Why Unified – to help it grow.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 11, 2023 (Newswire.com)

In the relaunch of her riveting first memoir Lost Girl: From the Hood to the White House to Millionaire Entrepreneur, Rebecca Contreras tells her inspiring story of transformation, perseverance, and how a lost girl was found. Born prematurely as a drug-addicted infant to a single mother in a Texas border town, Rebecca came to know abandonment all too well. Yet despite becoming a teenage, welfare-dependent mother herself, she earned her GED and managed to break the generational cycle, working her way up to become an advisor to the President of the United States before achieving the American dream by becoming an entrepreneurial success story. 

After setting the stage by recounting a childhood filled with neglect and abuse, Rebecca shares how she overcame the obstacles of her past. In her words, “We can’t focus on what we lack or the mistakes of our past, but we have to be deliberate about our future. With perseverance, faith, embracing the hard change of self, and engaging strong mentors, that GED took me from the hood to the Office of the Texas Governor, and eventually all the way to the White House.”

Her desire to change her life’s trajectory and her sheer will and resolve to succeed altered the course of her and her family’s lives forever. But she doesn’t stop there. Sharing what she learned along the way has become her passion as she reaches out to mentor others because, as she says, “No one—and I mean no one—makes it flying solo.”

Rebecca Contreras has been the President and CEO of AvantGarde LLC, a 110+ employee human capital consulting firm, since founding it in 2011. Along with her husband, she is also the co-founder of the nonprofit organization LaunchPad, which serves disadvantaged inner-city youth through educational programs and mentoring. 

Because Rebecca’s book is a demonstration of hope and empowerment for young at-risk women, Lost Girl is being relaunched to coincide with the 2023 Girls of Legacy Kickoff Event on April 11. Rebecca was inspired by promising young women through her work in the inner city and started Girls of Legacy in 2022, her signature initiative. Through her own matched funding, the program has been able to support ten Class of 2022 Title 1 high school graduates through partial scholarships and mentoring in college and professional development/training programs. 

The eBook for Lost Girl is being offered at a promotional price during the 2023 Kickoff Event, and 100% of any proceeds will go toward Girls of Legacy fundraising efforts.

Recognition marks third Occupational Health & Safety platinum honor for global EHS software provider

TORONTO, April 11, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Cority’s Hygiene Essentials Solution, which helps companies reduce industrial and occupational risks and boost compliance, has earned a prestigious 2023 Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) Industrial Hygiene Award in the category of Risk Assessment and Management, which helps companies reduce industrial and occupational risks to boost compliance. These awards honor the outstanding product development achievements of health and safety manufacturers whose products or services significantly improve industrial hygiene. 

Cority’s award for its Hygiene Essentials Solution marks the third time OH&S has recognized the leading global Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) software provider for its innovation in product development. In 2021, Cority won an OH&S Industrial Hygiene Award in the category of Auditing & Compliance for its Compliance Management Solution. OH&S also named Cority’s Ergonomics Management Solution a New Product of the Year in 2018. 

“This recognition validates Cority’s position as an innovative and trusted powerhouse in the industry, delivering to organizations people-first EHS solutions,” said Amanda Smith, Cority’s vice president of solutions marketing and enablement. “With our strong expertise in Industrial Hygiene and Safety, we are focused on building solutions that not only help organizations achieve operational excellence and protect their employees effectively but make better decisions that lead to a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future in the long run.”  

According to International Labour Organization (ILO), workplace diseases and occupational injuries are responsible for more than 2 million fatalities annually on a global scale. Despite having industrial hygiene programs in place, organizations are facing challenges due to budget constraints and a shortage of hygiene experts, making it difficult to manage these exposures effectively.

The Hygiene Essentials solution responds to these market needs by providing automated monitoring plans and data transfer, mobile capabilities, employee cohort tracking, and reporting tools for driving data-driven decisions for effective hygiene risk management.

“Our team’s extensive background in industrial hygiene and safety, combined with our expertise in designing and configuring solutions for customers, has enabled us to build an unparalleled knowledge base into our software,” added Smith. “This means that our customers can benefit from our advanced knowledge and solutions which are designed to be user-friendly and accessible to all.”

Cority’s Hygiene Essentials Solution allows businesses to digitize their industrial hygiene management programs quickly, easily, and affordably. Like all of Cority’s Essentials packages, this purpose-built solution combines industry best practices and proven workflows in a ready-to-use, rapid time-to-value offering with scalability for future program expansion. The solution enables organizations to manage all their quantitative and qualitative hygiene exposure assessment data in one centralized place, helping them identify hazards, evaluate and manage risks and develop a comprehensive hygiene program to protect their workforce.

Hygiene Essentials is a standardized version of Cority’s comprehensive Industrial Hygiene solution under the Cority Health Cloud. It is also part of CorityOne^TM, the company’s integrated EHS SaaS-based platform, which provides a scalable and seamless path for future growth. Building on an organization’s industrial hygiene program, clients can easily unify all their EHS programs into a single comprehensive platform to uncover key insights and create a single, accurate, and holistic view of EHS performance.

To determine the winners among those nominated in 21 categories, an independent panel of highly qualified judges carefully reviewed and scored each entry. The judges’ combined scores dictated the winners of each category.

Next Sunday, April 16, at 2 p.m., in Geneva, Switzerland, Ali Aboutaam, President of Phoenix Ancient Art, one of the world’s leading dealers in rare and exquisite antiquities, will lecture about the exciting findings of a rare Byzantine amethyst cameo pendant of Jesus Christ (Christ Pantokrator). Christ Pantokrator is represented in half-length and full-face with his head slightly turned to the left. In the frame of the gem on both sides of the shoulders, one can see engravings of Greek characters: I(…)C X(…)C (Jesus Christ). This remarkable sparkling and pure amethyst gem is closely linked to the sapphire cameo of St. John the Baptist housed in the Louvre (MS 91).

Ali Aboutaam excitedly says, “While conducting research about the provenance of this spectacular gem, I stumbled upon a black-and-white photo of this piece as being part of an exhibition ‘L’Antiquité Chrétienne’ at the Musée du Louvre in 1958!” The exhibition consisted of 81 Christian objects and was published by Etienne Coche de la Ferté in Paris.

The representation of Christ Pantokrator on a precious stone cameo is very rare. A small group dated to this period was preserved, including a beautiful sapphire cameo, now in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection.

Byzantium rediscovered an appreciation for glyptic after the iconoclastic crisis, yet exclusively favoring religious subjects showing Christ, the Virgin and the saints in either half- or full-length. Amethyst and sapphire were luxury stones used almost exclusively for the most prestigious objects. 

Ali adds, “It is so rare to find old publications for miniature objects like this one because these were intimately and privately treasured in jewelry boxes and small drawers. One can imagine the pendant decorating the necklace close to the heart of a faithful Christian in the 12^th century.”

The lecture will be at 6, rue Verdaine in Old Town, Geneva on Sunday, April 16, 2023.

Acoustic rock artist’s second album finds an eager audience – everywhere – courtesy of playlists and independent media

WASHINGTON, April 7, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
The pre-release reviews are strong. UK Independent says, “This is a classic sounding American record … great lyrics and a nice modern folk sound.” New Artist Discoveries enthuses the music is “animated by perfect melody and precise lyrics. This is a wonderful style of Pop.” Our Sound calls it “a breath of fresh air among so many electronic songs.” Hailed as fresh and original, Gumbrecht’s songs are playing on six continents in over 50 countries via popular playlists and social media.  

Today, Enter the Muses officially drops as the spring holiday weekend gets underway. The album follows last year’s Colorshow with a fresh take on traditional rock/folk/songwriter-style music.  Muses explores the sources of inspiration and connection in modern life. It is a broadly optimistic collection. Gumbrecht’s signature features – bright guitars, country/southern-rock arrangements, animated storytelling – are abundant. He sings with a confident and engaging voice. His poetic lyrics bear repeated listening. Here are stories about summer car trips, the whims of luck, backyard parties, and tumbling road races. The songs relate to and enhance each other underscoring the idea that muses are present and constantly shaping our experience.  

Eight original songs are performed by Gumbrecht and the talented team that delivered his debut album. Collaborators include the velvet-voiced Claire Marie, musician/producer Eric Michael Lichter, and sound engineer Guido Falivene. The ensemble handles the range of moods and styles in a relaxed, sometimes improvised manner. They infuse Gumbrecht’s songs with easy-going charm and warmth.

Gumbrecht, a native New Yorker, was raised in the album-rock era. His music recalls Paul Simon, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, the Eagles and CSNY with a modern vitality. Ed initially performed in NY bands and theater before leaving the arts for a traditional career. He continued writing – penning songs daily as well as authoring novels, short stories and screenplays. With the 2022 release of Colorshow, Ed returned to musical performance. Enter the Muses is his second album release in 14 months. A third project is underway for late 2023 release.  

Today, Gumbrecht’s albums stream beyond genre and geographic boundaries. World Indie Generation calls his music “Emotional, lyrical, touching. A complete delight.” As Enter the Muses pours into the world this week, it promises to become a bright highlight in the soundtrack of 2023. 

Enter the Muses is now available through all major music outlets and streams. Add these classic songs to your playlists and share them with friends who appreciate fine music.

Album Tracks: Enter the Muses, Well, Another Leaf, Walking Backward, Sunset Drive, 
(Love Will) Make us Wise, Cry a Little Longer, Air
