Have you ever gone for a walk in the deep snow? If you are new to the weather phenomenon, you might look at the expanse before you, eagerly take your first step on the thick powdery mound, prep to take your next step, only to realize that you have sunk down, instantly. In order to…

Maybe your dog should be a model
Imagine this: Your dog, the one whose cuteness overload has compromised your iCloud storage, gracing the cover of Vogue. It is a very real possibility, that maybe you should look into.

What’s been on my mind lately?
I have been thinking a lot about strategy. As I reconsider how I approach my job, I am digging into what the term really means. I had created a list of goals and indicators thinking that was the right step. And it was a right step, but something was missing. I needed to know the…

Astronomer is rolling with the punches
I had never heard of Astronomer before, but the tech company is now solidly on my mind. A viral video captured evidence of an affair between their ousted CEO and head of people, all because they were captured on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert. From that point, all I knew about the company…

So, a CEO goes to a concert
A quick, seemingly innocent kiss cam led to the unraveling of a CEO’s life. (Granted, this is all his own doing, but that’s a different topic.) There are many ways that you could look at the recent, viral video of the now former CEO of Astronomer being caught on camera at a Coldplay concert with…
