by Tom Alexander, CEO of PK4 Media. President Ronald Reagan once famously said about the Soviet Union, “Trust but verify.” While digital advertising is not as much of an existential threat as the Cold War was, the principle of verification very much applies.

I read Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant’s book Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy a few weeks ago. It’s a must read for every human on this planet. Some of you know that I’m a huge fan of Adam Grant.

The transition from learner to practitioner often involves working long hours, taking on extra projects, attending work events, and managing all the other tasks life requires. Balancing work and life is tough, but we need to take a look at our professional culture as a whole.

Both Sides of the Table

It’s been a tough year globally. Many feel the division in our families and societies. It has been heart-breaking to see progress reversed and social & racial tensions exacerbated unnecessarily. Much of the focus on the public discourse has been how social media and the polarization of information sources has worsened the problem.
