“In all things, give thanks”
"What are your current dreams, Damon? Or have you achieved all of them already?" Was asked this the other day by a team member and friend. It stuck with me. Been thinking about it and, I don't know the answer. Dreams change. In my early 20-something entrepreneur...
The good and bad about wanting nothing but the best for your kids…
