    Epique CEO Josh Miller Wins 2025 HousingWire Marketing Leader Award

    A Testament to Revolutionary Agent-First Marketing and Industry Disruption

    HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / Epique Realty proudly announces that Joshua Miller, CEO and Co-Founder, has been honored as a 2025 HousingWire Marketing Leader, a prestigious recognition celebrating the most dynamic and innovative marketing professionals in the housing industry. This accolade highlights Miller’s visionary contributions to reshaping real estate marketing and driving Epique’s rapid ascent as a trailblazing agent-first brokerage.

    HousingWire’s Marketing Leaders represent the top talent in marketing – professionals who are building brands and influencing business outcomes,” said HW Media CEO Clayton Collins. “These marketers are driving mortgage origination volume, connecting with homebuyers at critical moments, and supporting real estate brokerages to engage buyers and sellers. By combining data, technology, and creative strategy, they’re transforming how the industry communicates, competes, and grows.”

    This year’s recipients have shown extraordinary ability to adapt in an ever-evolving landscape. Their bold ideas, integrated strategies, and creative execution have amplified brand visibility, deepened customer engagement, and delivered measurable results – cementing their place as true marketing trailblazers in the housing sector.

    Joshua Miller, the original brand architect of Epique Realty, has been the visionary force behind a marketing paradigm that has not only fueled the company’s exponential growth but has also set a new industry benchmark. His approach, much like the game-changing philosophies of innovation titans, centers on a simple yet profound question: “What would it look like if a brokerage worked for the agent instead of the other way around?” This question is the bedrock of Epique’s marketing strategy, which directly translates into tangible success and empowerment for its agents.

    Josh Miller, CEO and Co-Founder of Epique Realty, expressed his gratitude, “This recognition reflects the incredible team and community at Epique Realty. We are committed to empowering our agents with groundbreaking tools, benefits, and support. I’m truly honored to share this recognition with the thousands of agents who inspire us to keep innovating and redefining what’s possible in this industry. Together, we are making history, and we’ve only just begun.”

    Under Miller’s marketing stewardship, Epique Realty has experienced a meteoric rise. In 2024 alone, the company expanded from approximately 500 agents to nearly 4,000, and its home sales volume skyrocketed from $117 million to over $4.2 billion. This extraordinary trajectory is a direct result of Miller’s agent-centric marketing initiatives and the creation of groundbreaking tools like the industry-leading Epique.ai platform, which has already surpassed 350,000 uses.

    Christopher Miller, COO and Co-Founder of Epique Realty, commented on the achievement, “Josh’s visionary leadership has set Epique apart in a way that has never been done before. His creation of free, advanced AI tools, like our virtual staging and home upgrade platforms, directly saves our agents thousands and generates millions in additional revenue for their clients. His drive to create an ecosystem where agents thrive has transformed not only our company but the lives of countless agents and their families.” Christopher added, “At Epique, success is built on the success of our agents, and Josh’s marketing strategies are creating a ripple effect throughout the industry.”

    The suite of benefits and resources available free to all Epique agents is a cornerstone of Miller’s marketing genius. In 2024, at least 18 new agent benefits were introduced, including industry firsts like full healthcare coverage (saving agents over $100,000) and free prescription plans (benefiting 593 children and saving over $72,000). Agents also receive complimentary listing services like photography and signs (saving nearly $4 million in aggregate), $500,000+ worth of free leads translating to over $1.7 million in agent commissions, and agent-branded billboards with over 5 million impressions.

    Janice Delcid, CFO and Co-Founder of Epique Realty, highlighted the financial impact of Miller’s strategies: “Joshua’s marketing vision isn’t just about buzz; it’s about building a sustainable, profitable ecosystem for our agents and the company. The numbers speak for themselves. The dramatic increase in our revenue share program, paying agents $6.3 million in 2024 compared to $161,000 in 2023, is a direct consequence of marketing a model that truly works for the agent. His initiatives are redefining what agents can and should expect from their brokerage, creating a powerful financial win-win.”

    Miller’s leadership fosters a culture of continuous innovation and empowerment. He challenges the status quo by constantly asking, “What else can we do or provide for our agents?” This philosophy has cultivated an environment where success feeds success and creativity flourishes, making Epique a disruptive force genuinely committed to transforming the real estate industry for the better.

    Epique Realty is not just building a company; it’s spearheading a movement. Its revolutionary agent-first approach, coupled with its amazing growth and progress, demonstrates a fundamental shift in how a brokerage can empower entrepreneurs. As Joshua Miller states, “We are creating something brand new… a mission that is lived and breathed through the people who make this place great.” This HousingWire Marketing Leader award is a powerful acknowledgment of that mission and the visionary marketing driving it.

    “As a company, we’ve always asked ourselves, ‘What more can we do for our agents?’” Josh said. “That question drives our growth, pushes us to innovate, and ensures that we are always ahead of the curve in helping agents succeed. At Epique, we’re not just disrupting an industry; we’re building a better future for all agents.”

    At the core of Josh’s marketing genius is a simple but radical belief: A real estate company should serve its agents – not the other way around. That belief now fuels everything at Epique, from AI-generated home enhancements to free agent-branded billboards, from nationwide training to disaster relief efforts. The result? A seismic shift in the industry’s center of gravity – from broker-led to agent-empowered.

    Epique Realty is proud to stand at the forefront of a revolution in real estate – one where agents are elevated, technology is transformative, and growth is grounded in humanity. With Josh Miller’s award-winning leadership and the entire Epique family united in mission, the future isn’t just bright – it’s Epique.

  • Brenmiller Energy CEO Provides Update On Milestones Powering Progress

    Brenmiller Energy CEO Provides Update On Milestones Powering Progress

    ROSH HA‘AYIN, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (“Brenmiller”, “Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:BNRG), a leading global provider of Thermal Energy Storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility customers,today issued a shareholder update from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Avi Brenmiller.

    Brenmiller’s (Nasdaq:BNRG) bGen TES

    Dear Brenmiller Energy Investors,

    I want to take a moment to share meaningful updates from across our Company-developments that reflect both execution in the present and strategic positioning for the future.

    Most notably, that the European Hydrogen Bank has granted SolWinHy Cádiz S.L. (the “SolWinHy Project”) in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, €25 million in funding. SolWinHy is a special purpose company jointly owned by leading renewable energy developers Green Enesys Group (“Green Enesys”) and Viridi RE (“Viridi”) to build new green hydrogen and green e-methanol projects in Europe. Green Enesys and Viridi are Brenmiller’s joint venture partners in Brenmiller Europe S.L. (“Brenmiller Europe”). We estimate our supply of the bGen™ TES system for the SolWinHy Project to be approximately €7 million. We believe that our involvement with the SolWinHy Project reinforces the strength of our bGen™ technology and our role in enabling renewable fuel production at scale. It’s a major milestone and a testament to the commercial scale of our thermal energy storage solutions.

    Looking ahead, we’re also preparing to accrue the next milestone in our project with Tempo Beverages Ltd. (“Tempo”) in July 2025. This project represents a powerful application of our bGen™ system, delivering behind-the-meter energy savings in a commercial manufacturing environment. We believe the market will recognize the value of this milestone-not just for what it proves technically, but for what it unlocks strategically.

    Beyond this, we’re seeing a new opportunity emerge that could define the next phase of our growth: nuclear energy as the solution for AI and data centers that are expected to create a surge in energy demand.

    At the end of May, CNBC reported that some countries in Europe are beginning to re-embrace nuclear power as a means of boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale. Denmark is even rethinking its 40-year nuclear ban. This shift creates a unique opening for our technology. Nuclear reactors, while reliable for baseload generation, lack the flexibility to meet dynamic grid demands-precisely the gap our thermal storage was designed to fill. The U.S. is following suit. New executive orders from the Trump Administration have fast-tracked small modular reactors (SMRs) and aim to significantly reform the U.S. nuclear industry.

    That conviction was echoed again just days ago when Meta signed a 20-year agreement with Constellation Energy to purchase 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear power from the Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. Without Meta’s commitment, the plant faced premature closure. Now, not only will the site remain operational, it will expand.

    This is more than a high-profile energy deal, we believe that it is an indication that nuclear power is being called upon to fuel the next generation of computing and AI infrastructure-but it can’t do it alone. It needs flexibility. It needs storage. It needs solutions like ours.

    We believe that our TES technology is uniquely suited to complement nuclear by enabling load-following capabilities, balancing output, and enhancing overall grid responsiveness. As the demand curve changes and data center operators push for 24/7 clean energy with real-time control, we believe our technology becomes not just valuable-but essential.

    Further, we believe our system, as configured for ENEL at its combined cycle power plant in Santa Barbara, Italy, is already a near-perfect fit for this application, positioning Brenmiller to be part of this nuclear resurgence.

    We also recognize the broader market environment remains volatile, especially for small-cap companies. We’re taking action accordingly: tightening costs, streamlining operations across our subsidiaries, and staying focused on efficiency. These moves aren’t just defensive-they’re strategic steps to strengthen our core and prepare for scalable growth.

    In parallel, we’re actively exploring near-term opportunities to enhance value creation-this includes unlocking potential licensing revenues with our IP portfolio.

    To those of you who’ve stayed with us: thank you. Your continued trust fuels our determination. We’re executing with clarity and focus-and the momentum building behind clean hydrogen, flexible nuclear applications, and on-site industrial energy savings only adds to our conviction.

    Sincerely,

    Avi Brenmiller, CEO
    Brenmiller Energy Ltd.

  • CoTec Investment Ceibo Successfully Produces Copper Cathodes at Demo Plant, Marking a Major Milestone in Copper Sulfide Leaching Technology

    CoTec Investment Ceibo Successfully Produces Copper Cathodes at Demo Plant, Marking a Major Milestone in Copper Sulfide Leaching Technology

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its investment, Ceibo Inc. (“Ceibo”), has achieved a significant milestone with the successful production of copper cathodes at a demonstration plant in partnership with Chilean copper producer Compañía Minera San Gerónimo (“CMSG”). The achievement validates the significant progress Ceibo’s proprietary copper sulfide leaching technology has achieved and demonstrates its potential to revolutionize copper production. For more information on Ceibo’s announcement, please visit: Ceibo Successfully Launches Copper Production at Compañía Minera San Gerónimo (CMSG).

    The demonstration plant, constructed at CMSG’s mine in northern Chile, began construction in February 2025 and delivered its first copper cathodes just three months later. The plant has operated continuously since commissioning, showcasing the speed, reliability, and scalability of Ceibo’s leaching process. This process integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, enabling faster and more efficient copper recovery than conventional methods, while unlocking resources once considered too challenging or uneconomical to process.

    Julian Treger, CEO of CoTec, commented: “We are excited to see Ceibo’s technology successfully produce copper cathodes at their demo plant. This achievement is a testament to the quality, strength and dedication of the Ceibo team and underscores the transformative potential of their technology in the copper sector. Global copper supply is critical to the energy transition, Ceibo’s approach aligns with CoTec’s strategy to invest in technologies which accelerate critical mineral production and deliver early revenue. CoTec is actively exploring joint venture opportunities to identify operating assets where Ceibo’s technology could be deployed, further demonstrating CoTec’s commitment to accelerating the commercialization and global impact of this breakthrough technology.”

    Ceibo’s advanced leaching technology leverages cutting-edge chemistry, data analytics, and AI-driven modeling to enhance copper recovery from primary sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite. By enabling copper extraction from ores previously considered too difficult to process on-site, Ceibo’s solution addresses the industry’s shift from oxide to sulfide ores and supports a more efficient, lower carbon production process.

    If scaling is successful, CoTec believes that Ceibo’s technology will deliver significant economic and environmental benefits, including faster project timelines, lower operating costs, and reduced environmental footprints. These advantages could fundamentally reshape copper production globally and help meet the growing demand for copper in the green economy.

    CoTec participated in Ceibo’s Series B financing round in 2022, joining a consortium of leading mining-focused investors, including BHP Ventures, Orion Industrial Ventures, and Unearth Capital, alongside existing investors Khosla Ventures and Aurus Ventures. In total, Ceibo raised over US$30 million in that round to advance its technology towards commercialization.

    In November 2024, Ceibo announced it had partnered with Glencore’s Lomas Bayas mining company to deploy Ceibo’s proprietary leaching technologies.

    About CoTec
    CoTec is a publicly traded investment issuer listed on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the OTCQB and trades under the symbols CTH and CTHCF respectively. CoTec Holdings Corp. is a forward-thinking resource extraction company committed to revolutionizing the global metals and minerals industry through innovative, environmentally sustainable technologies and strategic asset acquisitions.

  • James McGraw: A Life Freed by Storytelling

    James McGraw: A Life Freed by Storytelling

    NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / James McGraw: A Life Freed by Storytelling

    There’s something disarming about James McGraw’s honesty. Maybe it’s how casually he reflects on hardship. Maybe it’s the way he admits to things most people try to forget-like eating mud as a child, working for two pieces of bubble gum, or wearing the sleeves from a long-sleeve shirt on his feet, held up with rubber bands, just to feel like he fit in.

    This isn’t a man interested in impressing anyone. He’s not chasing a legacy. He’s just telling the truth the way he remembers it.

    For McGraw, remembering is liberation.

    Born Into Struggle, Raised With Grit

    James McGraw grew up in Fairfield County, South Carolina, on land that still carried the scars of the past. He was born in a wooden shack near the old quarry, where his dad worked for wages that barely fed them. And yet, this wasn’t “history” for McGraw-it was daily life.

    In his words: “Although I was not literally a slave, I possessed a mentality akin to that of a person who is not truly free.”

    That idea of mental enslavement runs deep through his reflections. He speaks of riding in the back seats of white families’ cars, eating from their porches, laughing at jokes that weren’t funny-just to stay safe. He remembers the quiet weight of being tolerated, not welcomed.

    What makes McGraw’s story resonate isn’t just the hardship. It’s the clarity with which he sees it and the humility with which he tells it.

    Ask him what got him through, and he’ll tell you: prayers. Not loud ones. Silent ones. The kind whispered by parents who were too poor to protect him from everything but still believed in a God who could.

    “My parents are long gone,” he writes in Slave No More II, “but I believe their prayers for me are still working in my favor today.”

    This isn’t a grand declaration of faith. It’s quieter than that. More lived-in. Like so much of his story, it’s more about endurance than certainty. Faith wasn’t something he put on display-it was what kept him moving.

    The Weight of Being Seen

    If McGraw’s childhood was shaped by survival, his early adulthood was defined by a kind of invisibility. He worked hard, but opportunities came slowly, if at all. He was dismissed, overlooked, and, in some cases, flat-out mistreated.

    One memory in particular stands out: a bounced paycheck, written by a white employer to his father for a week’s wages. But when the check bounced, it was McGraw-not the employer-whom the police came to arrest.

    It was only thanks to the intervention of a local white woman his mother worked for that the arrest was avoided. “I started grinning from ear to ear,” he recalls, “because I knew it was all over now. These were rich white folk, and when they spoke, everybody listened.”

    Moments like that are scattered throughout his life-not just as reminders of injustice, but as markers of just how tightly woven those power dynamics were.

    James McGraw didn’t set out to become a writer. In fact, he’s the first to say he doesn’t see himself as one. Slave No More, his first book, was more of a test than anything else. Would anyone care?

    But they did. Friends, family, and strangers told him his story mattered. They told him to keep going. So he did.

    Slave No More II picks up where the first left off, moving from his early years into adulthood. It’s unvarnished, deeply personal, and sometimes jarringly frank. He writes the way people talk when they trust you-with no agenda, just memories that have waited too long to be shared.

    What’s striking about the book isn’t the prose or the polish. It’s the feeling that someone is finally saying out loud what many have lived but never put into words.

    Life After the Plantation

    McGraw never strayed far from where he was born. He built his home on the very land he once called “the plantation.” That’s not a metaphor. It’s the literal place where he once labored-and where he now lives freely.

    It’s symbolic, sure. But it’s also practical. He made a life where he could. And in time, he made that life meaningful.

    He worked at plants and factories, took supervisory roles, and lost jobs when the economy turned. Eventually, after a third plant closure, he invested everything-retirement savings included-into a franchise. It nearly bankrupted him. But a contract with a major university saved the business. From there, things changed.

    He later launched a janitorial company and became what he once never thought possible: self-employed, self-sufficient, and a mentor to others.

    McGraw’s sense of success isn’t about money or recognition. It’s in the fact that his children are both business owners. That they come to him for advice. That he was able to provide something more than what he had.

    He writes about becoming a father, buying his first suit, and fixing up his car so it would stand out in town-not because he wanted attention, but because, for the first time, he felt like he had something to show for his struggle.

    And even in those moments, he never forgets the people still stuck in cycles he escaped. His concern about generational disconnect is palpable. He talks about how family reunions used to matter. How children once belonged to a village, not just a household.

    “It takes a village to raise a child,” he says. “But that village starts with the immediate family. And without those values, the risks grow.”

    Why His Story Matters Now

    James McGraw doesn’t preach. He doesn’t moralize. But read between the lines, and his story is a call to listen-especially to those who don’t often speak in public.

    He’s part of a generation that lived through change but didn’t always benefit from it. His reflections carry weight because they’re lived, not theorized.

    In an age where voices are everywhere, McGraw reminds us of the power of the quiet ones. The ones who observe more than they comment. The ones who survive more than they shine.

    His story isn’t a lesson. It’s a life.

    Not Just a Memoir, But a Mirror

    There are no perfect resolutions in Slave No More II. No dramatic triumphs. No clean break from the past. Just a man still reckoning with what it meant to grow up poor, Black, and unseen in the American South.

    But maybe that’s what makes it powerful. McGraw doesn’t try to wrap things up. He tells it like it was. And in doing so, he offers something rare: the sense that being heard-really heard-can be its own kind of freedom.

    So no, James McGraw isn’t trying to sell you anything. But if you take the time to listen, he just might remind you of something you forgot you needed to hear.

  • Unusual Machines Signs Lease for 17,000 sq ft Orlando Drone Motor Factory

    Unusual Machines Signs Lease for 17,000 sq ft Orlando Drone Motor Factory

    New facility for dedicated large volume U.S. motor production

    ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a U.S.-based manufacturer of drones and NDAA-compliant components, today announced it has signed a lease for a 17,000-square-foot drone motor production facility in Orlando, Florida. The factory will significantly expand the company’s domestic manufacturing capabilities. Motor deliveries from this facility are scheduled to begin in September 2025.

    The facility is designed to support the production of high-performance brushless motors for First-Person View (FPV) and commercial drones. Initially, it will focus on three core motor sizes: 2207, 2807, and 3220. In-house winding capabilities will support both standard and custom KV ratings and hybrid workcells will allow for both high-volume and small-batch production. The space is located near the company’s existing headquarters and is an expansion of Unusual Machines’ Orlando campus. The proximity to Rotor Riot’s technical team and pilot community allows for rapid product feedback and alignment with end-user needs. The production system is designed to eventual scale to monthly production volumes exceeding 50,000 motors.

    “Our new facility will enable us to build at scale, while also supporting customer-specific variants through flexible workcells,” said Brad Mello, Vice President of Manufacturing. “We’re implementing best-in-class practices from day one – lean layouts, digital traceability, and automated quality control – to ensure we can deliver reliable motors at volume with the precision and accountability required for government and commercial customers.”

    Unusual Machines is pursuing a dual-sourcing strategy for critical components such as magnets, bearings, and stators to insulate against supply chain disruptions. The company plans to offer both Made-in-USA and globally sourced motor variants to meet different regulatory and customer needs.

    “This factory is a major milestone in our strategy to rapidly onshore drone component manufacturing,” said Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. “To go fast, we are doing things in parallel and have already placed the equipment orders. We are solving one of the major pain points in the American drone supply chain.”

    About Unusual Machines

    Unusual Machines manufactures and sells drone components and drones across a diversified brand portfolio, which includes Fat Shark, the leader in FPV (first-person view) ultra-low latency video goggles for drone pilots. The Company also retails small, acrobatic FPV drones and equipment directly to consumers through the curated Rotor Riot e-commerce store. With a changing regulatory environment, Unusual Machines seeks to be a dominant Tier-1 parts supplier to the fast-growing multi-billion-dollar U.S. drone industry. According to Fact.MR, the global drone accessories market is currently valued at $17.5 billion and is set to top $115 billion by 2032.

  • The Monsters She Faced and the Woman She Found: Author Angie Lickliter Shares Her Journey of Healing and Hope in ‘Finding Her’

    The Monsters She Faced and the Woman She Found: Author Angie Lickliter Shares Her Journey of Healing and Hope in ‘Finding Her’

    KANSAS CITY, MO / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / What if the greatest love story you’ll ever live is the one you write with yourself? In a world full of expectations, author Angie Lickliter invites women to pause, reflect upon themselves, and bravely confront the monsters that have held them back. Finding Her isn’t just a memoir, but a moving life story for women ready to face their pain, rewrite their story, and step into the life they were meant to live.

    In her debut memoir, Finding Her, Angie Lickliter shares the raw, unfiltered story of her journey through chronic illness, ​​self-doubt, and healing. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 27, she has spent decades navigating a battlefield of physical pain, emotional isolation, and inner chaos. Her story is not one of overnight transformation, but of deep work, relentless self-discovery, and finally, self-acceptance.

    “I didn’t just write Finding Her, I lived it,” says Lickliter. “Page by page, I faced the monsters that once defined me: shame, heartbreak, the battle with my body, and the silence of not feeling enough. This book is my victory. It’s a message to every woman that healing is possible. You can rise. You can rewrite your story. And you can find her, because she’s still in there.”

    Published on June 2 by Landon Hail Press, Finding Her quickly rose to become the #6 New Release in Women’s Personal Growth and a Top New Release in Women’s Spiritual Growth. It also ranked #2 in New Releases for Family & Personal Growth. Book cover design by Rich Johnson of Spectacle Photography, with photography by Angelli Nguyen and creative direction by Samantha Joy.

    Finding Her is more than a memoir; it’s a roadmap for anyone who has ever felt broken, invisible, or unsure of where to turn next. Through raw storytelling and deep honesty, Angie offers her readers a gripping account of her personal battles with the inner “monsters” that once threatened to define her.

    Designed to lead readers through Angie’s journey from start to finish, Finding Her gives readers a firsthand account of the encounters with her monsters, who all represent a fear or shame Angie felt at one point in time. Along the way, the readers also meet the author’s “allies”, who are unexpected people, practices, and moments of clarity that helped her survive. The book concludes with an empowering collection of “weapons” – or tools – like meditation, yoga, journaling, and more, that helped Angie become stronger and more self-aware after every battle.

    This book was written to empower you, the reader, to face your own monsters with courage and clarity. While everyone’s monsters are different, they all whisper doubts, reinforce patterns, and keep you stuck in shadows. Angie’s story, with the tools that she provides, proves that with the right support and inner work, healing isn’t just possible, it’s inevitable.

    “Angie’s bravery to shed the monsters that once shaped her identity is the permission every woman needs to overcome a false sense of self,” says Samantha Joy, Editor-in-Chief at Landon Hail Press. “Finding Her encourages you to embark on the journey back to who you were before the world told you who to be.”

    Author Angie Lickliter shines beautifully as she is photographed by Angelli Nguyen. Creative direction by Samantha Joy.

    For over 25 years, Angie has lived with Crohn’s disease, which has greatly influenced her own personal battles with food, alcohol, and toxic relationships. Angie brings both vulnerability and wisdom to the pages of her memoir. Her work as a certified holistic wellness and cannabis coach, along with her leadership of countless support groups, fuels her mission to empower women to reclaim their health, identity, and power.

    This summer, Finding Her dares women to slow down, look inward, and ask the bigger questions in order to discover their true selves.

    “I wrote Finding Her to tell my story,” Angie says. “I built Finding Her to help you rewrite yours.”

    Dedicated to creating a sacred and transparent space for writers, Landon Hail Press allows authors to own the creative direction of their book and their brand. LHP books have been sold on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, bookshop.org, and more, and featured in major publications like People.com.
