It’s been a whirlwind...

It all kicked off with a trip back to Ghana for my dear friend Justin Jones-Fosu's wedding.

An incredible experience that still had me dancing in a dress that took real effort (and shallow breaths) to move in!

Then, we drove 6 hours to the village of Akyremade in Kumasi to commission the new middle school we've been building for two years. The first floor is done, and we're still raising funds for the second. The school was open-air two years ago and had no running water or toilets.

Now, they have a water borehole, toilets (dignity!), and a school with walls! My husband captured the day's event perfectly in this heartfelt Facebook​ post.

A huge thank you to my friends, family, and clients who made this possible! If you're moved to help, please consider donating. Every bit helps!

After only 24 hours at home, I was off to Denver for the National Speakers Association conference, soaking up every session on Artificial Intelligence I could.

This new technology is creating some exciting shifts for our RaderCo operations.

Stay tuned for more on that in an upcoming podcast and blog post.

Finally, I spent time with RaderCo Team Specialist Christina Rowe, exploring the largest carnivore sanctuary in the world.

Disturbing fact: there are more pet tigers in Texas than in captivity.

When you get this, I'll be enjoying coffee with RaderCo Executive Crisis Specialist Becky Sansbury and RaderCo Director of Marketing Lisa Wood and then off for a weekend of mountain biking and disc golfing.

On with the Weekender!
