Safety doesn’t create innovation. But innovation does create new jobs and new opportunities. Innovation creates new markets and cures for illnesses and ideas that make us excited to get up in the morning. You really want to help the economy? Put yourself out there. Risk everything. Do it for you, your family, your friends. We’ll all thank you. http://modite.com/blog/2009/01/07/why-generation-y-should-job-hop-even-i...

To light a fire, you have to have conflict, and to have conflict, you have to have an opinion. Respect other viewpoints enough to challenge them. Respect other ideas enough to disagree. http://modite.com/blog/2008/01/16/generation-y-is-too-quiet-too-conserva...

Work within restrictions. Because passion needs direction. It needs filters, and red tape, and four walls. Passion needs to be challenged to be passion at all.

About Me

Hello, I’m Rebecca Thorman and here’s the latest:

After living in the Midwest my entire life (Illinois, then Wisconsin), I just moved to Washington, DC. My job at the start-up company Alice.com graciously let me keep my position so I work remotely spreading the joy of receiving toilet paper and toothpaste in the mail. I manage PR and Community for the company. My boyfriend Ryan is the co-founder and COO of the start-up company BrazenCareerist.com.

My background is in design, and starting my blog is the best career and life move I’ve ever made. Blogging is how I met Ryan (we’re dorky like that), and Modite has been featured in several media outlets including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
