There’s a pretty good chance you have heard about the television show This Is Us. Everyone is talking about it. Because just about everyone is watching it. I was out of the loop until about two weeks ago when I got sucked in. And I got sucked in hard. I watched the first ten episodes in […]
Lessons I've Learned
