Epic work fails

I learned to double check everything I do and how to effectively explain a mistake to my customer. He thought it was hilarious. Thank goodness!

Dudley in the back, will be two in December. Orville turned one November. These pups are so darling and have such a joy for life. It’s contagious.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AMback to back meetingsmostly team timelots of in person collab

I feel like I do my best work in the AM. I can adjust well to a schedule due to my appointment based career. I love the exploration of team co creation. Playing six different sports growing up, I love the idea of everyone WINNING!!! I love watching people succeed, myself included. 🙌🏻😁
