Environment
Running any business today involves using at least one electronic device. Some of these plastics, papers, and metals can get recycled forever (called “circularity” in sustainability circles), but options for recycling electronic waste, or e-waste, have not progressed as rapidly. In 2021, the world produced enough e-waste to outweigh the Great Wall of China, but...
There has never been a better time to get into the climate space. Whether you’re looking to build a sustainable business or going green to attract new customers, three key pieces of legislation can help you make the leap. First, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), passed in November 2021, increases infrastructure spending by...
Combatting Business Anxiety
In 2020 and 2021, businesses all over the world halted production, altered product solutions, and made adjustments to internal teams. During the course of the pandemic, we all discovered that life can be unpredictable at times. You never know how something big or small can impact your future. Stress management is more important than ever....
Before the pandemic created the need to minimize physical and social contact, you probably didn’t think you needed a remote work policy. You either had no remote workers or you considered yourself too small of a business to draft a formal document. Now you need to work remotely to keep projects moving forward. You may...
flow state, man thinking, positivity
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is perhaps best known for saying that a state of consciousness that makes an experience genuinely satisfying can be called a “flow state.” I often see people complaining about not having focus and not being able to concentrate on one thing.

However, many small businesses are struggling to make budget on the revenue they...
Startups are forgoing exorbitant engineering salaries for the more reasonably priced but equal-quality work of an outsourced IT staff. Silicon Valley is largely considered the global leader in technology, with firms in the area competing for the highly-skilled developers and engineers located there. According to a new report though, U.S.-born engineers are leaving quicker than...
When you hear his footsteps, you’re filled with dread. You just know your overbearing boss is on his way to ask you if you’ve finished that report yet. He’ll no doubt have six or seven things he needs to add to it, only extending the completion time further. That won’t matter, though, because he’ll check...
My whole life is about META. I worked at TV stations so long that at times I felt more interested in TV station culture and life than I was with the actual delivering of the information. The latest gossip about where a reporter or news director had just gotten a new job always enthralled me....
I’m starting here what I would like to think would be an ongoing case study in how to build fans and followers on Twitter, through the use of pictures in one’s tweets. It’s good enough to tweet compelling articles and other content  from third-party sites through your tweetstream. It’s good to allow people to see...
