It’s easier to spark rapid fire conversation and build on exciting ideas through the in-person energy of others. But, we’re “yes and” kind of people. So when COVID-19 started, we said, yes! We can do it online, no matter how complicated.
Read MoreThe COVID-19 pandemic situation is creating perhaps the most significant shared experience the world has ever witnessed. During this uncertain time, a common question is, “how are you adapting to the new normal?” Well, this isn’t the new normal—yet. The stay-at-home orders will end, the economy will start-up again.
