Randy Phillips with Think Graphic and Printing Solutions E27

As a business owner, do you have multiple print vendors and designers? Do you find that sometimes you don’t have the time to find the best price or to flush out a beautiful design? And often times you settle on cheap, not great, or you just flat out do not have the time to make something cool that you need? All resulting in a compromised small business brand.

Think Graphic and Printing Solutions is a local Tempe, Arizona based print and media company. Think’s team has a passion to work with small to medium size businesses to create the tools necessary for companies to market themselves such as print collateral, screen printing, large format signage, graphic design, and web design. Think-Graphic-and-Printing-Solutions

Think’s mission is “To be the place to go for brands to grow.” Think is designed in a way that if a client needs a specific item they can produce it quickly and affordably – because there is a deep understanding that a client needs that item to gain or grow their business.

Think’s mission is reinforced by their company values: accountability, ambition, community, compassion, teamwork, innovation and integrity. Their goals are to create a lasting relationship and help each client grow from brand launch to hundreds of employees and multiple locations.

Randy-Phillips-Phoenix-Business-RadioXRandy Phillips has been serving small businesses, slinging ink and marketing companies since the early 2000s. He has had his fair share of challenges and disasters with starting a business, navigating a recession, overcoming a business burning down, and now a pandemic.

Through every challenge it presented opportunities that transformed him into more than just a person designing and printing stuff for local businesses, but to a business man who has a passion for helping people succeed and grow by inspiring them through cool design and print materials.

Randy is a family man with a beautiful wife, Rhoda Phillips, who he met on a reality TV show (Who said you can’t find true love on tv?). 2021 marks the year that their family has a plus one, welcoming this year baby Zoey Phillips.

When Randy isn’t working with a client he’s clocking in valuable family time. The saying “work hard, play hard” could have been something that people would say about him in the single years. But in the marriage years, it’s more about creating a legacy and making a difference.

Liz Barker-Alvarez with First Things First and Jared Cook with Raising Arizona Preschool E26

First-Things-First-logo

From birth to age 5, children’s brains develop faster than any other time in their lives and set the foundation for future learning. That’s why Arizonans created First Things First—a voter-initiated, statewide organization that funds early education and health programs to prepare young children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Local regional councils, staffed by community volunteers, decide how funds are spent to support the healthy development and learning of Arizona’s young children.

First Things First invests early childhood funds in programs and services that address the development, education and health needs of children birth to age 5 (before kindergarten). We administer statewide initiatives and award regional and statewide grants through competitive RFGAs (requests for grant applications). Funds are allotted to Arizona communities based on their population of young children (birth to age 5), and emphasis placed on getting resources directly to children and families through a network of community providers. Everything we do is strategically designed to help more Arizona children arrive at kindergarten ready to succeed.

Liz-Barker-Alvarez-Phoenix-Business-RadioXLiz Barker Alvarez is Chief Policy Advisor for First Things First. In this role, she is responsible for strategic planning and oversight of FTF’s efforts to build awareness of the importance of early childhood among Arizona’s elected leaders and to work with policymakers at all levels to promote public policy that improves outcomes for young children. Her unit’s work encompasses government affairs, tribal affairs, and statewide media.

In addition, Liz advises the First Things First Board and Executive Team on communication/public affairs matters and serves as the primary media spokesperson for First Things First.

Author and Attorney Zarinah Nadir and Dr. Aneesah Nadir

The Legally Savvy book and the Legally Savvy Movement were established by Attorney Zarinah Nadir to disrupt everyday perceptions of lawyers and help the rest of us feel more confident, empowered, and less stressed while navigating the legalities of love, life, and business.

Zarinah-Nadir-Phoenix-Business-RadioXZarinah Nadir is an award-winning American lawyer, educator, social justice advocate, entrepreneur and visionary. Also known as the “legal translator,” she has a rare ability to make the law plain and accessible for everyday people. Over this last decade she has been laser-focused on bringing about access to justice to historically disenfranchised individuals, artists, families, communities, emerging entrepreneurs, and seasoned business owners in the United States and Canada to know their rights in areas from civil rights, juvenile law, family law, criminal justice, immigration, and corporate law.

Zarinah founded the Legally Savvy Movement to disrupt everyday perceptions of lawyers and help people feel more confident, empowered and less stressed while navigating the legalities of love, life, and business. Additionally, she works alongside progressive socially-conscious go-getters to build the largest human rights organizations on the planet bringing affordable access to attorneys to the masses – an essential key to social justice.

Raised in Phoenix to celebrate multiculturalism by woke parents from New York, language is one of her favorite tools for cultural understanding. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish from Arizona State University and after the tragic events of September 11th, was inspired to learn law as her next language. Graduating with a Juris Doctor from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at ASU, shortly following her graduation she was appointed as its first African American Muslim woman Director of Admissions. Zarinah is currently adjunct faculty at the University of Dubuque teaching courses in criminal justice and sociology.

She is a highly sought-after speaker and guest on national podcasts. Having contributed to the community since her teens, Zarinah is an Arizona fixture being featured in multiple city of Tempe History Museum exhibits, most recently Tempe’s 150 Sesquicentennial Celebration. On a personal note, Zarinah loves being born in Queens but raised in Arizona, loves learning languages, and Zumba!
