I had officially switched from doing Zoom calls to Google Meet until today. When I’m switching back.

Between other calls and Mastermind I found time to write up the talk I’m giving to a Minnesota group today. It’s a topic I know well so I needed to organize my thoughts.

My 8am call asked to postpone. She lives less than a mile from Lake street in Minneapolis where some of the most intense protesting and rioting was happening.
