Part of being a community member is the old yen-yang of cross-posting and cross-promotion. It builds stronger economic ties amongst community members and, at the end of the day, it’s goodness. It’s kinda like a European mentioned to me at lunch one day. He said “Americans will do business together even if the don’t like each other.” “Yes” I replied. “European’s won’t” he countered. Guess I’ll do business with anybody, eh?
So below – please find my spill of industry stuff for you to know about, care about and act on!
