The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.
As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

Taxi chat #15: Family of family
In this #taxichat, I ask Laini how it feels to continually expand our family. Each time we open our Spare Room to someone who needs a safe place to stay, we gain a new family member. She gains a new sibling (or in Jaesin's case, an uncle). But it doesn't stop there!...
