SIDE NOTES
Side Notes has been a great way for me to continue to tell stories, just in a different medium now.
I have been working on what will be my first book, Unfinished Business: The Art of Reinvention. A collection of humorous essays on life, lessons from twenty years in business, and what reinvention in my forties has actually looked like in real time.
In these reads you will find moments of humor, nostalgia, and relatability.
Thank you for taking the time to read and follow along on this new adventure.
Hi, I’m Business Bleu Cheese
You know what goes great with cold, lumpy mashed potatoes and overcooked peas you’ve been avoiding for an hour?A big ol’ glass of milk.At least, that’s what my grandpa thought when he tried to induct me into the Clean Plate Club. It did not end well. I decorated the family dinner table in a way no one appreciated, and to this day, I still can’t do cooked peas.
Soup, Salad & Business Strategy: Why I Can't Portion Food (or Workload) Correctly
It’s the weekend, which means it’s time for random thoughts. Today’s deep reflection? Why do I make enough soup to feed an entire rescue team and enough salad to deeply regret my life choices? If you've ever made an entire vat of soup when you meant to make two servings—or stored a sad, soggy bag of lettuce in the fridge knowing full well you’ll never eat it—this one’s for you.
And because I can’t help myself, yes—this somehow still ties back to business.
