Happy Saturday everyone! Every now and then, Connect 5000 gathers together via Zoom over lunch and gets to know each other better without talking about work stuff. Because everyone is remote and isolation can occur, it’s beneficial to huddle up and get to know colleagues better, so we did Friday afternoon. It helps build relationships […]
Happy Sunday everyone! And the flights and travel continue! As I mentioned in previous blog posts, I visited Seattle and Portland over Memorial Day weekend with my family. 2 days later I flew with a colleague to Atlanta to visit the Southern Region Team and meet reps who I hadn’t met in person yet. 2 […]

Hey everyone! It’s been since December since I posted anything. My apologies! Not that anyone requested more content from me! I was in Chicago recently for the annual AA-ISP conference and tradeshow.

So to get straight to the point: I lost the election handily. I lost approximately 70% to 30%. It was a fair race and as far as I know, my opponent kept it clean and professional and he ran a good race. In fact, my neighbor brought me 3 pieces of direct mail she received […]
