In 2019, I started walking a few miles each morning. While walking, I would listen to audiobooks. Before I knew it, I was ripping through books at a pretty good pace. So of course, I wanted a way to track the books I was reading and what was on my To Read list. I had…
The other day I opened up my Paypal account and saw my balance was $55. I headed over to OSMIHelp.org and donated $50 of it. If you didn’t know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and OSMI is leading the charge in the tech space. Their tagline says it all for me, “Changing how we…
After a couple of decades of working with clients, I’ve learned a lot about how I like to work with them. For example, I know that I like to have a video kickoff call where I can ask questions and read facial expressions as we discuss the project. It helps me to gauge their interest…
