State of the Union

State of the Union

I like to start the year on the same page. Resolutions are stupid.  Commitments to incremental progress are not.  Clear goals, and clear accountability along the way. So, here’s me holding myself, and our team, accountable both to our performance last year and our...

How much does it cost to own x,y, or z?

How much does it cost to own x,y, or z?
