We can do better. This year, instead of panic-purchasing the entire Amazon holiday toy catalog, I’m asking myself some questions.
What do they need? If we can package something they need anyway as a gift, that's not just a win for us, but it might even recenter their perception around how things appear in their lives. Obviously, I’m not suggesting... See more

Cleaning out the junkyard
We are storytellers! Unlike a lot of other businesses that use social media our marketing and our product are the same thing! A story. So when we're introducing the product we have the chance to prove we're good at what we're selling.

And that’s been the rule for me throughout my working life, to do with the thing that’s almost impossible to articulate, which is about a feeling, about a chill, about a... See more

Give me your hand, I’m going to say this gently.
You don’t have to know what you’re going to write before you start!!!!
Actually, not knowing is the whole point!
You won’t figure out what you need to write until you’re already! writing! it!
