Remakes: Here I go again making it my own I woke up this morning thinking about remakes and how we have to make things our own. I am the new boss of an agency that had a longstanding leader. After that leader left, a successor was hired […]
Over a decade ago, I tool a deep breath, downed a double-espresso shot, and turned in my dissertation. I was near being done with a major chapter in my life. It was the beginning of the end and the beginning of a new beginning. I […]
