Random interesting & useful 💩 pulled from the myriad of emails which land in my inbox.

From My Inbox: Share your smarts

You never know where your content will go…a blog post back in 2015 resulted in numerous speaking engagements with the PGA (and enviable trips to PGA championships) and now, my visibility on LinkedIn, has led to guest hosting a special episode of the FDI World Dental Federation’s podcast. Sharing this as a reminder, to keep thoughtfully sharing your smarts, your POV, whatever it is you want to be found for with your network, as you just never know…

Now, good 💩 from my inbox:

  • Cha. Cha. Cha. I took dance lessons as a child (ballet, as I was rather pigeon-toed), then in 2007-2008 I enrolled in private ballroom dance lessons as a work-life-stress-reduction tactic (it helped). Where do ballroom dancers get their amazing gowns? This lady’s basement. (Washington Post)

  • Yeah, there’s lots of VC $$$ out there…but where is it going? Seems 8 deals scooped up over $100 million each…(The Crunchbase Megadeals Board)

Yes, keep reading (and follow those links!) as there is lots of good 💩 this week:

Why is it we love to look at art, or listen to music or laugh at a cartoon? I think it’s the celebration of the human spirit that is at the core.
