I was driving on my way home and thinking about what I might discuss today. After about thirty seconds of not too much bubbling up, the word “network” entered my mind. Ok, no big deal, nothing special. Networking. That’s what we do, got it. But then I noticed something. The word itself — “network” — …
How are you feeling today? Many of us came together in person last week at the incredible Elevate Summit in NYC… so maybe you’re feeling great. Maybe you’re feeling a little tired.

But coming up with the idea that’s new, or different, or outside their comfort zone, holds a lot of possibility because it’s beyond what they already know. So it’s often the place …
I’m sure that most of you know the classic tale of the Tortoise and the Hare. One of Aesop’s famous fables, it not only compares two different animals, but also two fundamentally different philosophies on how to approach life and business.
