Earlier in the year I had the opportunity to be interviewed for 517 Magazine, and also was able to be featured on the local podcast, Adventures in Business! It always takes a while for interviews and recordings to be edited and then published. Now they’re done and I can share them! I was SO HAPPY with the result of both. Thank you to Christopher Nagy who wrote this great article about me! Can’t believe I also learned something new in an article about myself–I learned Lisa Frank also grew up in Southeast Michigan! What?! How did I not know this?? Also thanks to Melik Brown for the hea ..read more

One of our favorite things we did in Vegas was to experience Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart! Meow Wolf creates giant immersive art exhibits and Las Vegas has the newest one! (The other 2 are in Denver and Santa Fe).

Below: A mirror in Omega Mart that changes your face when you hold a card up to it. I took so many videos and photos that I thought the best way to sum it up would be with some short compilations ..read more

Yes, it’s true. Facebook is down. For the past 20 minutes FB has been kicking people out of their accounts and not allowing them to log back in. Instagram and other Meta Businesses are also down.
