Our very own Mike Grisko was named one of Austin’s Best CFOs by @MyABJ. Congratulations, Mike!
Best CFO winner Mike Grisko believes that the harder you work, the luckier you get: "There are no shortcuts or silver bullets. Put in the hours, build a reputation and opportunities will open up." bizjournals.com/austin/news/…

Not sure if this makes me feel better or worse, but we have a rich history of politicizing mask-wearing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-M…
I feel like our government should invest in a TV screen and maybe stream the slides to the press during these things
Zoom should partner with a media co to make a gameshow, remote audience members get selected as contestants, price is right style. "WFH: win from home?"
