It’s interesting…. I was at a networking meeting the other night with a bunch of CEOs of small to midsize companies.  Of course you do the proverbial approach person, introduce yourself, ask their name (name tags certainly are saviors) and ask what their company does.  When it gets to my turn to tell them about [...]
