Reading Time: 7 minutesWe’re currently in a strange, new reality. With the exception of a few Zoom meetings on the calendar, time and date don’t really have much meaning. Even though I haven’t physically interacted with other adults over the past few weeks, my social life is actually better than it was before this event began, with several … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 5 minutesWell, this certainly isn’t the direction I thought this year would go. Usually, the post I write in March celebrates the beginning of “event season,” and I talk about my excitement for finally getting out of the home office and interacting with dozens of new people throughout Iowa and the Midwest. With the country essentially … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 12 minutesMost years, it feels like things mostly calm down after the Christmas rush, as winter truly begins to settle in. That didn’t really seem to happen this year, both for planned and unplanned reasons. We’d been lucky through the end of 2019 with no snow days, but after the first of the year, winter decided … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 9 minutesIn a way, you could consider this my “2020 vision.” Hardy-har-har.

In high school, I held down a part-time gig at a local TV station editing tapes of the weekend evening news. During one of the summers of undergrad, I worked at one of the smaller … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 13 minutesNever before has it taken me three entire days to get plugged back into life at home after a long trip out of state. Should that be the metric to gauge the success of a trip? Number of days following to get back to normal and back to work on things? It didn’t take me … [Read more…]

This will be my third year attending Denver Startup Week, and the week following will be my second trip to the 1 Million Cups Organizer Summit in Kansas City. My trip to Denver … [Read more…]
