[Story No. 1] Setting Goals for 2017
Every year -- around the last week in December, there is a common activity that occurs across the country. This event, or more appropriately defined as a "concept" is rapidly adopted, but rarely followed through. People make New Year's resolutions for a number of reasons. Whether to improve their physical health, intellectual capabilities, or spiritual well-being; whatever the case may be these promises to improve one's life are very important.
As we approach the start of 2017, I'd like to make a professional resolution for myself. Every week I hope to tell the story of one local business here on LinkedIn. There are so many great restaurants, coffee shops, and retail venues in Hampton Roads that need a little help getting the word out to the public. The goal is to shar a story, that will help people discover something new, whether a Downtown boutique or a beachfront bistro. If you've been to one of the destinations, comment at the end of the article to share your favorite dish, product, or activity.

This allows for the aforementioned collaboration to occur without physical barriers or creative roadblocks. Whether building a website for a local business, or designing a mobile app, innovation is the name of the game each and every day.
..and yes there's ping pong...
