A Gap in the Syllabus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was on a call with our fabulous marketing intern Mia the other week, sweeping through our email automations, and I asked her almost as an aside whether she was learning any of this in her classes at UT. I asked because I went there too, many moons ago, and I remember exactly what those classes covered: TV ads, print ads, and yes, actual radio ads. She confirmed my suspicion, which is that not much has changed. They’ve added a course or two on social media, but nothing on email marketing, nothi
Newness is in the Air (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The end of summer always brings a fizzle of excitement into my life. I’m a summer lover through and through, Cancer and all, but when I can smell crispier weather coming our way I always crave change, iteration, and get very excited for the next two seasons ahead.September to me brings that back to school feeling, even though I’m 6 years out of school.

Read excerpt

Either way, it feels like the perfect time to take stock of my closet: what’s missing, what still works, and what I’m ready to part ways with.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://
I Don't Strive for Work-Life Balance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article started as a request in my subscriber chat (hi, I love it there), and it had me thinking. Who is work-life balance? Do I even believe in that? How am I so disciplined?This is not an article about work-life balance. That’s not something I have, want, or have ever really strived for. I work hard as heck, and I like it that way!!!The two hardest working people I know are my parents. Right behind them, my two sisters. I’ve grown up knowing nothing other than a fantastic work ethic, and
