Happy retirement… again! (2nd time’s the charm, right?)
These past five years of entrepreneur-ing, I have been truly blessed by your mentorship, friendship, and those occasional activities where we network, collaborate, and build community have meant the world to me.
While the Center for Entrepreneurship will miss their fearless founding director, I’m selfishly looking forward to more of your travel stories and adventures during our weekly 1MC calls.
Here’s to trading strategic plans for spontaneous road trips! Though knowing you, you’ll probably “accidentally” start another community building venture.
Your impact on our community has been enormous, but your friendship has been even greater.
Cheers to new adventures!
