Why I Blog
Why I Blog
I have to come clean. I don’t always act according to my blogs.
I’m not a hypocrite, but human.
And that’s the thrilling part.
Today I get to be a better version of my Self from yesterday. Blogging helps with this. Another helpful tool is my colleagues (who are also my friends) who quickly point out the inconsistencies that I still need to work on.
Absence of ‘No’
Absence of 'No'
Unnecessary bureaucracies, paperwork, and formalities hold back team members, projects, and ultimately the asset’s potential.

It’s hard to imagine the long-term reach of our efforts in the midst of the day-to-day grind—but what are we working so hard for anyways?
In the spirit of Back-to-School season, an SAT-style analogy:
(assignments and lectures) : (1st grade teachers) :: (decks and meetings) : (market access professionals)
For ANYONE in the workforce, our work is an expression of relentless effort to create a brighter future.
