Brought home some hardware last night from the @MAGComms award ceremony in St. Paul. Our big winner was the video we created for @isd719 for staff recruitment. https://t.co/6iT1Kn5ErP

We take halloween pretty seriously at my office. I can do a pretty good Barney impression and successfully creeped out my team.

I’m in Michigan this week inspiring other video company owners at the Onward Summit by Studio Sherpas. So honored to be able to speak to this group!

Thanks @angelambrown for bringing me on the @Niche_Insights podcast. I've seen transformational change in schools when they start authentically using student voice.

@cateked There are so many issues in education we’ve unsuccessfully tried to solve as adults. Students have insights we don’t have and their voices need to be amplified to help make change.

A great weekend in New Ulm celebrating 15 years of 💍. The @SchellsBrewery was impressive.

A business coach said my first hire would be critical as a small business owner. @JennaRoseMead was the only interview I needed, I knew she was the one. Today, as Jenna starts a new adventure, I'm so thankful for the 7+ years we worked together and am excited to watch her grow.
