Apple's Rise
Let’s go back to the 1970s — when pants were flared, hair was big, and computers were the size of small refrigerators. In a little garage in Los Altos, California, two guys with bad haircuts and brilliant minds were tinkering with wires, circuits, and what looked suspiciously like a microwave. Those two guys? Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The company? Apple.

Finding a Blazing New Path
One of those wonderful things about the US is that a person can change their career path whenever they feel it is needed. In my case, I spent so many years in some teaching capacity. I started when I was 16 years old as an after-school teaching assistant. Then came my passion in the German language. I was encouraged by my parents to continue in college and get a teaching degree. I thought it was my calling…my destiny in a way. So, I took the classes, took the tests. Graduated with a degree in German and Secondary Education. I almost moved from Colorado to Texas to teach elementary German, but that fell through. After graduation I went back to the place that it started all. It was a little Lutheran preschool and K-8 school that allowed me to teach some after school German language classes while I assisted in the preschool classes. I made the decision to start some more college courses. Eventually, I got a degree in early childhood education, my director’s letter for the state of Colorado, and several certificates for different programs. I worked up the food chain: as an assistant teacher, a teacher, an assistant director, and an honest to goodness director for a short period of time. I thought I felt fulfilled and found my calling. But as the years went on, I felt a change in the culture of how families viewed teachers and how administrators backed their staff. It was in 2019 when I finally reached a breaking point. It was the most toxic administration yet. I felt like they wanted to find anything to get rid of me. I felt my mental health suffering. Finally, I was angry enough to write to my boss to announce that I would not be coming back to work. It was the first time I had never quit with no two weeks’ notice before.

Valerie Mahaffey: A Career Defined by Eccentricity and Emmy-Winning Talent
Valerie Mahaffey was never one to simply "blend in" on screen — and that’s exactly what made her unforgettable. With a sly smile, a twinkle of mischief in her eye, and an uncanny ability to portray women who seemed perfectly ordinary on the outside — but wonderfully off-kilter underneath — Mahaffey carved a unique space for herself in American entertainment. Her death at the age of 71, following a private battle with cancer, marks the loss of a rare kind of performer: one who could make you laugh, cringe, and feel deeply, often all in the same scene.

Why Most Companies Lose Big Before They Even Bid: The Hidden Truth Behind Proposal Strategy vs. Procurement
Here’s a hard truth no one wants to talk about: Most companies are blowing their chances at closing deals. Not because their product is bad. Not because their price is too high. They lose because they don’t understand the crucial difference between proposal strategy and procurement.
