Hiroshima is worth the hype. Honestly, is there anywhere in Japan that’s not worth the hype? We think not.

When it comes to email I am rather old-school. Probably because my first internet mentors were pro email list over social media, while still fully going ham on social platforms. You’ve likely heard this but I’ll say it again. We don’t own Instagram, or Facebook, or Youtube, or any other social media. They can disappear […]
