Havi Brooks (and duck)
Thanks for the sweet commentary on my Twitter piece. Also, must say it’s flattering to be included in a list with Chris Brogan AND performing vegetables. This totally made my week.
Also: I read your About page and it is a truly awesome About page that should be in a manual of how not to bore people to death on an About page. I actually laughed. Out loud. Love it love it love it.
Am subscribing and looking forward to the goodness.
