Where We’ve Been, Where We Are and Where We’re Going

Lately, Thomas and I have been thinking very hard about our future. We’ve been making changes and taking risks and trying to figure out exactly what we want for our future and the future of our company. What we’ve decided is- there are lots more changes to come.

    My favorite part? “I feel like I’m a kid who started school for the first time, and my mom bought me a whole new wardrobe. I’ve been in school for just a few months, and now I’ve already outgrown all my new clothes, and it’s time to buy new clothes again.” Very well said. I’m right there with you. Here’s to ‘NOT starting over,’ rather- just ‘starting anew.’ReplyCancel

    Annie – It was great to meet you too! I hope we can see you at WPPI next year if not before!

    Ati- Thanks so much for your kind words. I agree – starting anew is much better than starting over. 😉

    Latrice – Thank you! You’re too sweet. 🙂 We’re so glad that we were able to connect with you at MTH2010. I hope we can meet up again sometime in Nashville. Thanks for following our journey. We look forward to following yours too!ReplyCancel

    Thomas,

    We just watched this video! Thank you sooo much! You guys are awesome! We laughed when you said you were a thinker and a planner, and not so much a doer, we are the same way. I think it’s time for us to step out of the box and start “doing” too! You guys are great motivators!

    Thank you!ReplyCancel

Finding Purpose for the Passion | Making Things Happen 2010

Yesterday, at the Making Things Happen Intensive, my life was changed. I was humbled, impacted and moved by the amazing group of MTH2010 attendees, Lara Casey, Jeff Holt and Jeremy Cowart.

    So glad that you guys got to go to MTH, and I can’t wait to see where you two go! There is a huge community feeling to this, even with people from other cities, which continues to be the best thing ever. It holds you accountable and keeps you thinking about what you need to in order to make things happen! Can’t wait to chat more about your experience!ReplyCancel

    Great stuff here T2. I think bumping the ISO gives your photographs a distinct look. It’s almost like you guy’s have found a way to brand yourselves. This is some great info here! Keep them coming.
    Thanks,
