Michigan, US, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As marketing departments race to keep pace with AI, automation, and changing consumer expectations, senior marketing strategist Marjorie Jeffrey says the most significant transformation isn’t happening in the tools marketers use; it’s in how future leaders are developed.

According to Marjorie Jeffrey, mentorship is no longer optional. “If we want more women in leadership, we need to stop treating mentorship as a bonus and start recognizing it as core to how strong, ethical, and inclusive teams are built,” she says.

Jeffrey, who has guided dozens of companies through brand transformations and campaign strategy over the past 15 years, now dedicates a significant portion of her time to mentoring early-career marketers, especially women. She believes that creating the next generation of leadership requires intentional relationship-building, open dialogue, and systems that reward collaboration over competition.

“Marketing has evolved, but the leadership models in many organizations haven’t,” Jeffrey explains. “We’re still valuing output and volume over strategic insight and emotional intelligence. Mentorship is one of the few ways to shift that culture from the inside out.”

While women make up the majority of entry-level marketing roles, Jeffrey points out that they remain underrepresented at the top. “There’s a persistent gap between who’s doing the work and who’s getting the recognition, and that gap only widens without meaningful support structures like mentorship,” she says.

According to Jeffrey, mentorship is especially critical for women navigating industries like tech, finance, or B2B services, where leadership still skews heavily male. She believes the most effective mentors offer more than tactical advice; they provide context, validation, and space for vulnerable conversations about imposter syndrome, negotiation, and self-advocacy.

“People assume mentorship is just about sharing expertise, but often it’s about reminding someone they belong in the room,” says Jeffrey. “I’ve had mentees who were brilliant marketers but struggled to see themselves as leaders. Mentorship helps close that gap between capability and confidence.”

Jeffrey encourages companies to treat mentorship as part of their strategic planning, not a side initiative. She advocates for formal mentorship programs, cross-level collaboration, and reverse mentorship structures where junior employees can share emerging insights with senior leaders.

“If mentorship only happens casually, it stays limited to people with the right networks or personalities to ask for help,” Jeffrey explains. “We need to institutionalize it, especially if we want to foster diversity in leadership. That means giving people the time, training, and tools to mentor well.”

Jeffrey works with organizations in her consulting practice to embed mentorship into their brand cultures, tying it directly to employee retention, leadership pipelines, and internal communications. She often conducts messaging audits and internal workshops to make mentorship more actionable and accessible across teams.

“Mentorship has measurable impact,” she says. “It improves job satisfaction, accelerates career progression, and helps companies retain talent, especially during times of rapid change. Why wouldn’t we prioritize that?”

Jeffrey also emphasizes the importance of storytelling in mentorship. As someone who builds audience-first marketing strategies, she sees narrative as a powerful leadership tool. “When women in leadership share their real stories, the wins and the mistakes, it humanizes success,” she notes. “That vulnerability builds trust and makes leadership seem possible for more people.”

Outside of her client work, Jeffrey frequently speaks on inclusive messaging and brand ethics at industry conferences. She’s building a mentorship circle specifically for mid-career women marketers navigating transitions into management, entrepreneurship, or specialized strategic roles.

“There’s so much support for entry-level talent, but mid-career is where many women drop off the leadership path,” says Jeffrey. “We need to intervene there, with mentorship that’s practical, flexible, and grounded in real experiences.”

For Jeffrey, mentorship is not just a leadership responsibility. It’s a way of investing in the industry’s future. She believes that as marketing becomes more human-centric and purpose-driven, the role of mentors will become even more essential.

“The real legacy of a marketing leader isn’t just in the campaigns they run, it’s in the people they shape,” she says. “If I can help even one person lead with more clarity, confidence, and compassion, that’s the kind of impact that lasts.”

Nashville, Tennessee, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a global mental health watchdog, will host a public protest in Nashville in May, in observance of the International Day of Protest Against Shock Treatment. The event aims to raise awareness about the continued use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock, and to advocate for legislative action to ban the practice, particularly on children and vulnerable populations.

Highlighting the Risks and Lack of Efficacy of Electroshock

Electroconvulsive therapy involves passing up to 460 volts of electricity through the brain to induce seizures, a procedure that has been associated with serious risks, including brain damage, cognitive impairment, permanent memory loss, prolonged or persistent seizures, worsening psychiatric symptoms, cardiovascular complications, breathing complications, and death, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Despite these risks, ECT continues to be administered to an estimated 100,000 Americans annually, including children as young as five. A recent study found that 69% of teenagers who received electroshock suffered memory impairment after the procedure.

Furthermore, research indicates that ECT may not be effective in reducing suicide risk. A study published in Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica found that patients who received electroshock were 44 times more likely to die by suicide than people in the general population.

Calls for Legislative Action

CCHR is calling on lawmakers to enact legislation banning the use of electroshock, particularly on children and individuals who have not provided informed consent. This aligns with recent guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, which calls for the prohibition of ECT on children and emphasizes that nonconsensual ECT may constitute a human rights abuse.

About the Citizens Commission on Human Rights

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonreligious mental health watchdog organization founded in 1969. CCHR is dedicated to eradicating abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enacting patient and consumer protections. For more information about the protest, please contact: cchrnashville.org.

New York, US, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In an era where algorithms write headlines and bots mimic behavior, one company is training machines not just to learn — but to invest. Founded in Manhattan and backed by a team of Wall Street veterans and AI researchers from Columbia University, 9M AI is quietly building one of the most ambitious financial systems of the decade: a fully autonomous investment infrastructure that thinks, acts, and evolves — like a human fund manager, but with silicon logic and no sleep cycle.

Its promise is simple and sweeping:

“An AI that knows how to grow your money.”

But behind the tagline lies a methodical, multi-year journey that blends academic rigor, financial realism, and product execution — with its sights set not just on beating the market, but on rewriting the architecture of how asset management works.

Born From Frustration. Built for Everyone.

9M’s origin story reads like a rebellion from within. In 2021, a group of former Goldman Sachs engineers, Columbia AI scientists, and quant traders left high-paying posts in Midtown to start over — in a downtown WeWork. Their frustration? A system designed to serve the few, not the many.

Their mission?

To rebuild access to wealth by engineering Wall Street-grade intelligence that anyone — not just institutions — can use.

It wasn’t just an idea. It was a deliberate plan.
That same year, they began developing NovaMind™, a proprietary AI engine designed to emulate human-like investment judgment. Built with reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and causal inference, the engine didn’t just assist—it made decisions. Complete ones: from strategy creation to risk management to trade execution.

From Model to Market: A Proof-Driven Ascent

In 2022, NovaMind™ made its debut at the “AI Finance Future Forum” in the U.S., drawing attention for its full-stack automation and semantic market interpretation. By 2023, the company had partnered with a U.S. SEC-registered advisory firm for a live market simulation under strict constraints: 8% max drawdown, 6 months, real capital. The results: an average monthly return of 11.2%, with zero manual intervention.

What began as a lab prototype now had real teeth — and real traction.

2024: The Platform Becomes the Product

This year, 9M formally launched the 9M Intelligent Financial System — a next-gen quant architecture powered by nine proprietary AI trading models. The system blends machine learning, large language models, a full-stack execution engine, and blockchain infrastructure, running 24/7 across both traditional and digital asset markets.

What’s unique is not just the tech stack, but the user experience:

• Real-time earnings display 
• On-chain verification 
• Public performance leaderboard 
• A “simulated AI advisor” interface 
• One-click cryptographic income statements
  

The fund structure — built on a triad of strategy pool, capital pool, and reward model — is transparent by design and scalable by intent.

“This isn’t a robo-advisor,” Chris, the CEO of 9M notes. “It’s a system that manages itself — and grows with the user.”

2025–2026: Compliance, Scale, and a Path to Nasdaq

9M isn’t just coding. It’s complying.
The company has completed MSB and NFA registration in the U.S., and has entered the STO regulatory pipeline. Applications are underway in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canada, with eyes on an eventual Nasdaq main board listing.

By 2026, the company aims to:

• Surpass $500 million AUM across 60+ markets 
• Launch three flagship AI funds with tailored risk profiles 
• Operate a fully regulated global infrastructure
  

All of this, while holding fast to its core principle: technology should be transparent, traceable, and built to last.

Why It Matters

In an age of AI abundance and fintech noise, 9M’s discipline stands out. It’s not chasing trends. It’s building infrastructure — slowly, visibly, and with conviction.

Where others pitch dashboards, 9M delivers decisions.
Where others sell analytics, 9M automates action.
Where others offer tools, 9M offers a co-pilot — one that doesn’t blink.

“We don’t predict markets,” says the product team. “We train AI to understand them.”

Final Word: AI That Grows With You

For a generation of investors raised on volatility, screen fatigue, and overchoice, 9M’s proposition is both radical and refreshingly simple:
Let the system do the work. Let intelligence compound. Let money grow — without guessing.

Whether it succeeds on a global scale remains to be seen. But if 9M gets it right, the future of investing won’t be human-led.
It’ll be AI-native.

Essex, UK, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, While navigating through recruitment fraud in the UK, the government is paying more attention to pre-employment checks. According to recent updates, the BPSS clearance has reduced hiring time significantly and made the public sector more diligent in hiring.

By analysing one’s identity, right to work in the UK, evaluating employment history, and checking records, BPSS clearance offers a more secure pathway to hire trustworthy employees. Service partner has a team of highly skilled professionals working in individual departments of the screening process to complete procedures efficiently.

With employee theft and fraud on the rise (as recent Statista data shows), skipping proper checks is a huge risk. BPSS Clearance makes sure proper proper hiring processes are followed.

In today’s fast-moving digital world, organisations are enhancing their recruitment processes with additional checks to meet risk standards. Once viewed purely as a compliance formality, BPSS clearance is now recognised as a vital part of building a safe, secure workforce—protecting both the company and its employees without slowing down hiring.

Industry experts note that hiring the right and genuine employee, especially in the public sector, is a significant challenge. The importance of BPSS checks to suitable candidates, reduce the risk of onboarding unsuitable hires, and shorten recruitment time.

Key Advantages of BPSS Checks:

• Properly designed screening process: BPSS clearance is a government-approved process that avoids unnecessary complexity and delays.

• Pre-cleared talent recognition: A well-defined process to verify identity, employment, education, and any gaps over the preceding five years allows public sector companies to hire talented employees.

• Early risk identification: It’s easy to identify the risk of hiring unauthorised people during onboarding.

• Streamlined compliance: By meeting pre-employment security requirements, BPSS helps organisations eliminate administrative hurdles.

By focusing on various aspects of recruitment through BPSS checks, the company addresses risks such as identity fraud, illegal work, and falsified employment history. Companies could face financial or reputational damage if these issues are overlooked. Thus, BPSS professionals give meticulous attention to each step, significantly reducing hiring time.

About The Company

To address national security concerns while adhering to recognised pre-employment screening standards, BPSS Clearance specialises in Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) screening to strengthen recruitment. Features like 100% customer support, fast turnaround times, and easy tracking make hiring more effective and secure. The company specialises in employee verification, ensuring compliance and reliability.

Redondo Beach, CA, 1st May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In today’s fast-paced world where job stability is uncertain and work-life balance remains elusive for many, a new kind of freedom is quietly taking hold through a transformative book that is inspiring thousands. Keyboard Rich: How Anyone Can Earn Six Figures from Home with a Simple Bookkeeping Business by Bill Von Fumetti has not only earned a place on the prestigious Wall Street Journal bestseller list, but it continues to earn praise with a 4.5-star rating on Amazon.com from over 1,200 reviews. It is fast becoming a beacon for those seeking legitimate, flexible, and profitable ways to escape the traditional 9-to-5 grind.

Published by Transcendent Publishing, Keyboard Rich is a 148-page guide packed with real-world strategies, personal stories, and a step-by-step blueprint to help readers start a high-earning virtual bookkeeping business with no prior experience, college degree, or startup capital. The author, Bill Von Fumetti, a Certified Public Accountant and founder of Booming Bookkeeping Business, pulls back the curtain on how he went from financial struggle to building a multiple six-figure income from home, using just a laptop and a skill that’s always in demand.

A Simple Skill with Six-Figure Potential

What makes Keyboard Rich stand apart in the crowded world of entrepreneurship literature is its focus on virtual bookkeeping as a career and business path. Unlike online schemes or ventures with massive overhead, Von Fumetti’s model is based on a skill that businesses can’t live without: keeping accurate financial records.

“Bookkeeping is one of the most overlooked, yet most lucrative work-from-home opportunities out there,” says Von Fumetti. “The demand is enormous, the barriers to entry are low, and you don’t need to be a math genius or have any prior accounting experience.”

Readers are guided through the basics of starting a virtual bookkeeping business, including how to find clients, use free versions of popular software like QuickBooks, and navigate the early stages of building an online presence. Perhaps most importantly, the book emphasizes freedom: financial, professional, and personal. Von Fumetti makes it clear that earning six figures doesn’t have to mean long hours or high stress. In fact, many of his readers are parents, retirees, or people simply looking to make a great living without sacrificing time with their families.

From Rent Struggles to Hawaiian Sunsets

Von Fumetti’s story is both inspiring and relatable. He shares candidly how he once struggled to make rent and felt trapped in the cycle of underwhelming jobs and rising expenses. But after discovering the power of virtual bookkeeping, everything changed. Within a short time, he was making more money than ever before, all while spending more time at home and traveling with his family.

Von Fumetti recalls a moment on a Hawaiian vacation, when a local waitress assumed he had retired early due to how often he visited. When he explained that he ran a virtual bookkeeping business, her reaction, surprise and curiosity, epitomized the book’s core message. As Von Fumetti explains, “You don’t have to be a tech guru, influencer, or entrepreneur with a business degree to be successful. You just need to know what to focus on, and bookkeeping is it.”

A Real Alternative to Online Gimmicks

The timing of Keyboard Rich could not be more perfect. As millions seek alternatives to exhausting careers, risky startups, or low-paying gigs, Von Fumetti presents a real, proven solution that requires neither a leap of faith nor a mountain of debt. Unlike multi-level marketing schemes, dropshipping, or the saturated world of online course creation, virtual bookkeeping offers high earnings, low overhead, and over 90 percent profit margins.

“Too many people waste years chasing opportunities that promise fast money but rarely deliver,” says Von Fumetti. “Bookkeeping is different. It’s dependable, profitable, and surprisingly easy to learn.”

His claim is backed by data from Intuit, the makers of QuickBooks, who report that the average bookkeeping business owner earns $76 per hour. That’s more than $150,000 a year for those who choose to work full-time. And many prefer to work far less, maintaining a comfortable income while enjoying complete flexibility.

An Inclusive Guide for All Backgrounds

Keyboard Rich is not written for financial professionals alone. On the contrary, the book is specifically designed for beginners. Von Fumetti’s writing is conversational, motivational, and instructional, making it ideal for people with no bookkeeping or business experience.

Whether you are a stay-at-home parent, a corporate employee dreaming of self-employment, a retiree seeking supplemental income, or simply someone looking to regain control of your time and income, this book is for you. Von Fumetti explains how, with a computer and internet connection, anyone can start their own virtual bookkeeping business and start earning quickly.

Praise from Readers and Students

With more than 1,200 positive reviews and a 4.5-star average on Amazon.com, Keyboard Rich has clearly struck a chord with readers around the globe. Common praise includes the book’s clarity, practical advice, and motivational tone.

“Keyboard Rich is not just a book, it’s a roadmap,” wrote one Amazon reviewer. “I had no idea what bookkeeping really involved before reading it, and now I’m already working with two clients after just a few weeks.”

Others have credited the book with changing their entire outlook on work and money. The overwhelming consensus in Keyboard Rich Challenge reviews and book feedback is that Von Fumetti delivers exactly what he promises: a way to build a profitable business on your own terms.
