Hey you guys. I'm putting together an official #Brazen Twitter List for members living in the San Francisco slash Bay Area. I've done it for a few of our other high-volume cities and you guys are next. This is a great way to connect w/ other local Brazen peeps, schedule meet ups and all sorts of other stuff. Leave your Twitter ID below as a reply and we will add you to the list.

What does college or grad school really teach you? In the words of my former graduate advisor, "I learned I could teach myself anything." I love that. I also love fellow Brazen member Jenny Blake's book, "Life After College." Jenny and I talked about getting out of the achievement mentality that school often encourages and learning how to succeed on your own terms. Read the full interview here: http://bit.ly/gMjPeI. She's brilliant!

Electronic Databases, Google Books, how to actually use a huge library, how to actually utilize your professional network and, most importantly, where to look for help when you don't know the answers.

I think it depends on the field. I am pretty certain I needed grad school, but my graduate degrees are not in business.

Last night I attended Jenny Blake's webinar on how to manage a side hustle. It was a great presentation and got me wondering: How many of you have a side hustle? What's your focus? Do you plan on turning this into a business in the future?

Go out of your way to talk to someone new today. Look up from your phone, make eye contact, say hello and ask them how they are doing. Sounds so simple, but I'm sure we could all benefit from doing this more! Who you meet might really surprise you...
