Today Codie Sanchez made my email.

You choose your hard... so please don’t complain.

I’ve been in both, and I’m still deciding what to do next. I take my time, with no rush.

I like what I do in the infrastructure and real estate space, but also I appreciate freedom.

35% Discount in a BAFO. The client chose someone else. This is why.

You know those “premium” sofas in New Zealand? The ones that are so premium that are also suddenly 50% off? Wonderful news. Until you wonder what the original price was doing.
