These truly are exciting and daunting times: I’m jumping head first into the single biggest career transition of my entire life! As I am sitting here, somehow half-consciously going through the last 47 years of my life and 27 years of my professional life (as in: 27 years! How on earth….), I realized something: I’m molding …
