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.

About Me

My blog (Modite.com) hosts career & life conversations weekly and I’m Rebecca Thorman.

I sell toilet paper, and manage PR and Community at the start-up company Alice.com in Madison, Wisconsin. My boyfriend co-founded 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. Modite has been featured in several media outlets including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. My favorite brand of toilet paper is Cottonelle.
