Hello Austin!

The past few months have been fantastic! While I sit here thinking about what I want to say, I just smile. I love my job! I don’t even like to use the word, “job,” to describe what I do for a living. It’s more like embarking on a new adventure every single day. It’s such a blessing to wake up every morning and be so excited about what the day has in store.

Something I have absolutely learned over the past few months is the power of networking. You can start with a small idea and accomplish so many things by simply shaking a few hands. People are wonderful and so eager to help, and this definitely goes both ways. It gives me such a good feeling to help someone out, and these days, a little extra support goes a long way for anyone! After all, what’s more comforting than a warm lead?

As co-publisher, I have a number of responsibilities. But I don’t like to use the word, “responsibilities,” because like “job,” it implies a sense of obligation. I am honored to fulfill my daily responsibilities because they allow me to have so much fun in this position. I get to meet lots of captivating people and hear lots of great stories. I love it, and I’ll take more any day! That is what makes NSIDE bigger, better and more entertaining for you, and that is what I want to offer.

It has been a great few months; NSIDE has really grown, and I cannot wait to see what the next few months will bring! If you haven’t joined us at one of our events, please do so! We throw monthly networking mixers, and so far they have been very successful.

Thank you for your support of NSIDE and myself. I absolutely believe that a smile is contagious, and I think success can be contagious, too. So smile at someone and lend a helping hand, because you never know where that hand will take you!

There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
