  • Experience, trends, and other things we can learn from a hairdresser

    As I was talking with the hairdresser while admiring his expertise, I began to ask him questions like: How long have you been doing this work? How do you upskill for the latest trends?

  • Road trips, pit stops, and gas stations

    From my previous post on banning new gas stations, I talked about the role of funding or grants in ushering in new systems.
