How are you spending summer?
Oh, hi friends!
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but…this is the sleepy season.
My inbox is quieter than usual. Instagram tells me people are off in Paris, or Italy, or a few miles over at the beach.
What should you do with all the extra time? Dream, think, plot, rest? A little of each?
I’m not sure myself—I think summer is the weirdest season of all!—but I do know I want to do something. And make that choice deliberate, so when the ramp-up to fall comes, I know I’ve spent it well.

Finally, just found out about Vidyard, and think it's is a really interesting and innovative way to send short videos to people instead of your typical email response. More human! More connection! (h/t Carl Richards!)
