Strong Community Demands Strong Leadership

I woke up to an amazing article written by Jonathan Trenn, The fallacy of community, and I responded in a comment to a pretty passionate article and a passionate comment string, and here’s what I wrote — and I have expanded the argument below, so it is an expansion. Via Marketing Conversation.

I Grew Up in Salt Lake, Hawaii, as a Little Kid

 

Yes, I have been super-nostalgic recently about my growing up in Hawaii. I have been nostalgic lately but I needed to write a post about SchoolFinder to help a friend and searched for my schools, St. Louis and Aliamanu Elementary schools.
