I loved chatting with the runners about our products and their upcoming races. […]

Objects in the Mirror
I didn’t have much international experience before last year and I still really don’t, but buying a one way ticket to leave the US was probably the best thing I could have done at the time. I did manage to survive and, at times, thrive outside of the comfort bubble that I have lived in […]

Throwing myself into these unfamiliar genres is proving to be advantageous since I need to do outside […]
