The Journey: From Connected Dots to Tangible Triumphs!
NBGee Foundry's journey explodes with tangible triumphs: our first author signed, a Holiday Bazaar debut for Project Hatchling, and "Apex Ascent" master finalized. Dive into the incredible momentum!
Hello, NBF Tribe!
Remember our last update, "When The Dots Start to Connect," where we talked about vision, strategic planning, and the exciting potential bubbling within NBGee Foundry? Well, hold onto your flight helmets, because since then, those dots haven't just connected – they've exploded into a vibrant tapestry of action, creation, and major milestones!
It’s with immense pride and gratitude that I share how far we’ve soared in such a short time.
NBGee Publishing Takes Flight: Our First Author Signed!
The biggest news on the publishing front is truly monumental: NBGee Publishing has officially signed its first author, Trish Ginther! This isn't just a signature on a piece of paper; it's the formal launch of our mission to empower unique voices and bring inspiring stories to the world. Trish's upcoming book, "Learn To Grow: Life Skills for Teens!" is exactly the kind of impactful content we envisioned. This foundational partnership means we're now moving full steam ahead into the exciting world of editing, design, and preparing for launch. Get ready to be inspired!
Project Hatchling Blooms: A Holiday Showcase!
Our commitment to our community and supporting local talent is also taking a huge leap forward with Project Hatchling. We're thrilled to announce that NBGee Foundry will have a presence at the Solista Milwaukie Holiday Bazaar! This is more than just an event; it's our first public showcase, bringing the NBF Tribe directly to the community.
You'll get a sneak peek at:
Trish Ginther's "Learn To Grow" merchandise: Imagine beautiful ornaments, magnets, and other unique items, all designed around the wisdom of her upcoming book. These aren't just gifts; they're daily reminders to live a life of purpose.
Juanita Buckles' stunning visual art: We'll be proudly displaying prints and perhaps even some original pieces from this incredible Solista Milwaukie artist. Her work is vibrant, soulful, and truly captivating. You'll have the chance to see her talent firsthand and even take a piece of it home.
This bazaar is a tangible step in connecting creators with their audience, fostering local commerce, and introducing NBGee Foundry's multi-faceted vision to the world.

NBGee Records on the Rise: "Apex Ascent" Takes Shape!
But wait, there's more! The NBGee Records division is also making incredible strides. We've officially finalized the master sound recording for our first major track, "Apex Ascent," featuring the phenomenal talent of Reeko Law and DJ NBGee!
This track is pure energy – a powerful blend of hip-hop and cinematic vibes designed to inspire and elevate. We’ve meticulously crafted the stems and are now in the process of stamping them with our official BWF MetaEdit metadata, ensuring every detail is perfect for sync submission. This means "Apex Ascent" is primed and ready for the world, set to make its mark on the airwaves and in sync licensing.
The Foundry is Forging Ahead!
Beyond these exciting project-specific updates, the "Foundry" aspect of NBGee is constantly at work:
Infrastructure Building: We're diligently setting up the backend systems – from ISBN acquisition for our growing publishing arm to researching professional scanning solutions for future projects like the "SMR Residents: A Life in Pictures" coffee table book.
Strategic Planning: Every step is calculated, every decision deliberate, as we lay the groundwork for a robust, creator-centric ecosystem encompassing publishing, visual arts, music, and future tech innovations.
The energy at NBGee Foundry is palpable, and this progress wouldn't be possible without the foundational support and belief from our tribe.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and prepare to witness the continued "Flight" of NBGee Foundry!
