Pro-nun-ciation

The Divide(s)
Surely I’m not the only one running up against total resistence (i.e., no discernable millimeter move) when one would want to even discuss disruption in industries hitherto untouched. Like the financial industry. Really, the mindsets haven’t opened up to the … Continue reading
