TESTIMONIALS

"GUMA taught me how to operate a business. They inspired me to do more with my activity because I was just kind of laying back on my artwork."

Mark Murer

"With GUMA, I learned that coming out of my shell, networking, and making friends within the business community can really help you propel your business."

"GUMA taught me that I have to go put myself out there. Make the right connections, start talking to people that I don't even know yet, and just do the ground work."
