Using Autopilot To Climb A Mountain
This post was originally published on the Athlete Network blog. Networking does not come naturally to me. Plus, since I work alone in an office, going to a networking event isn’t as easy as asking my co-worker and using the buddy system to feel more comfortable. I’ve done a fair share of networking in KC in the sports industry, but that was easy because I knew people already. However, I completely avoided networking in my actual field (technology, specifically software development) for years. … [Read more...]

The Cost to Cure Iowa
From time to time, I work with my father-in-law, who is a contractor in the southwest Iowa area. Whenever he needs a little extra manpower, I’ll jump in and lend a hand. With all the recent flooding in the area that’s left parts of Iowa completely underwater, he’s been very busy. One of his recent jobs that I helped him on inspired me to write on what it costs to rehab flooded property, Iowa land in specific. Knowing that the storm was likely going to cause extensive damage to the … [Read more...]
