I think this is a subject I'll explore in more detail in my upcoming LinkedIn series (more on that later!), but a few posts I've seen this week triggered this thought, so I wanted to write about it at least on a surface level. The saying goes something like "do what you love, and you'll …

In my never ending list of talented cousins, the next one at bat is Karen! And as you may have seen from my previous Friends and Family posts, I write the corresponding blogs around the subject's birthday to kind of pay homage to them in some way. Karen's birthday just passed this Friday, so happy …

For today's Friends & Family feature, I've selected my younger cousin Francis, whose birthday is coming up on the 29th so let's wish her a happy early birthday from the WCB crew!

Oh. Em. Gee. you guys! I just found the deepest YouTube black hole I'm about to fall into head first, and possibly never come out of. Most people don't know this about me, but I spend a good amount of time on YouTube, half as a hobby, and half as work/research. Since I work in …
One year. 365 days. 525,600 minutes (RENT fans, you're welcome.) Can't believe it! Even though I originally opened my shop in November of 2014, I was flying under the radar, relying solely on Etsy's SEO and Pinterest to make sales - until May of 2015 that is! That's when I finally mustered up the courage …
