On Christmas eve we celebrated the holiday with my side of the family with a potluck, white elephant gift exchange, decorations, and lots of family. Christmas has always been a time when my Mom went all-in to make sure the kids in her orbit had a good time. It was sometimes a point of contention...
As I write this I’m sitting in a coffeehouse at a communal table with a German professional who apologetically caught up with her family back home over a video call and a student taking notes for her marketing degree. Milwaukee’s Stone Creek Coffee house, a Certified B-Corp has a lot going for...
Jen and I took a trip to California to attend two conferences here in October. RailsSaaS took place in Hollywood October 6-7 and her Growth Accelerator Intensive is scheduled for October 23-24th. In the meantime, we decided to take a week and co-work with our colleague Joyce Hu based in the Los...
