Digging through my cabinet the other day, I came across some old cacao powder. Through an example of recent events in Mexico, and looking deeper into the people who do the work to harvest coca beans, we start to see a problem with global commodities. In some senses, select products are only available through specific growing regions. But where can we make an impact on things that we consume that h...

With summer in full swing, I am well behind on yard work. Poison ivy is a problem plant down here. Through the scratching, one exposes broken skin, leading to infection. The deaths in the American Civil War also brought forth an effort to improve cleanliness conditions; The Sanitary Commission. And the building of the Panama canal brought forth an even greater leap forward in cleanliness. How we k...

Being able to watch the growth of my current company has opened my eyes to how much investment is needed to maintain and grow a business.
