I’m taking a class. First one in a LONG time. It’s called The Story Skills Workshop, and I wish all of our manufactures would take the class with me. Dear Manufacturer, don’t start your presentation with how you build the product, the amount of investment you put into...
You have to work to find it. So dig in. Of course, we don’t want anyone to die. That’s not exactly a new thing. Of course, we’ll miss the talks by the water cooler and the lunches with work pals. Of course, Wisconsin would have two teams in the NCAA tournament, the...

Perhaps our very own Mark Nemeth will win an Academy Award for his performance as the aging building services technician who cares for his Thermaduct Exterior Ductwork. The role of Wilson the volleyball is supplanted by our own little robot. Wait for it… Mark, you’re...
