A huge thank you to NeTia Bauman, CEcD, CEO of the Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation for her unwavering support of my journey as an entrepreneur and my crowdfunding campaign. NeTia has been a consistent advocate, always informing me about opportunities to strengthen my business, including the Thrive Mentorship Program, which has been transformative for me. Through Thrive, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible mentors like Annie B. Deckert and Jeff Wig , whose guidance has been pivotal in shaping my entrepreneurial experience and helping me grow both personally and professionally. The support I’ve received from NeTia and the GSDC has been incredible , and I encourage anyone in the Greater St. Cloud area to explore the programs and resources they offer to empower entrepreneurs like me. Thank you, NeTia, for believing in me and for the continued encouragement as I build ANP Streaming! #ThankYou #Entrepreneurship #Mentorship #Gratitude #GSDC

"I don't go downtown because I hate having to park far away and walk to my destination..." Maybe you've heard this from your friends or even said it yourself. But is this really a problem with downtowns, or is it a problem with how we perceive parking distance?

As someone who faced significant challenges growing up, that resulted in mental health issues, I found healing through music and faith. That experience inspired me to create ANP Streaming - a platform where people can discover music and content that resonates with their emotional and spiritual journey. I want to make sure that voices often overlooked in mainstream Christian music have a platform, and that everyone who needs it, can have a tool at their disposal that aids in their mental health and relationship with God. Since doing intensive research and working on this idea for over years, I’ve been able to team up with groups that I knew would help me make this possible. An idea like this, one that has the ability to dramatically impact today’s world, is bigger than me. And many amazing people and groups were involved in shaping and creating this venture. The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, the place I study, has an amazing entrepreneurial program, where ANP Streaming was born. Through this program I was able to do intense reasearch on the music industry and find developers to make this idea happen. ILT Academy, helped me to shape my idea and network with many music industry experts who have been so pivotal in sharing information and guiding me through this process. And of course, the Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation has put me in contact with the greatest mentors, who have asked me hard questions, help me figure them out, and courageously believed me. To everyone who has been involved in the process of making this idea possible, I want to send you my heartfelt gratitude. You all continue to encourage me and make me believe in my ability to impact the world, one listener at a time. Because of the help of these amazing people, we’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the development of A.N.P. Streaming, and we need your support! Whether you can contribute or simply help us spread the word, your involvement will bring us one step closer to offering a space of healing and connection for people worldwide. But to bring this vision to life, we need you to: - Support our campaign on https://lnkd.in/gngZCXa2 - Share this post and spread the word with your network — every share helps us get closer to our goal. - Tag someone who could benefit from a platform like A.N.P. Streaming. Thank you all again for your support of this venture and of little ol’ me! Let’s make this impact large! To Paul Marsnik, Steve Schwarz, Jeff Wig, Seth Schachner, Annie B. Deckert, Mike Thienes , NeTia Bauman, CEcD, Nick Tietz, Jennie Weber, BrandonDavid Hawkins, E-19 amoeba, (and a lot more) Thank you!❤️
