My Favorite Blog Posts of 2017

If you haven't noticed yet, I love writing about marketing and about being a dad...and the balance of work and life. It’s this thing called life which for me blends back and forth and back around again between work, family, and friends, so I write about it constantly!

As we round out 2017, I thought I'd share the posts that I loved the most.

What's your experience? Happy New Year! JIM
