I have recently started introducing Champagne Friday as a mandatory part of the week.  Here’s how it works: each Friday you drink at least one glass of champagne.  Simple huh?  Simple, yet effective. Here’s why: As long as you’re drinking a glass of champagne your problems aren’t that bad Silly as it might sound, it’s true.  No matter what’s stressed

I was in the sauna last week reading an article in The Pitch (local KC magazine) and thought to myself “I have no choice but to check this out.” The article was about a local shared workspace called Hammerspace.  What makes Hammerspace different from other shared workspaces in KC is that it isn’t shared office space, it’s a shared workshop.
