Doubting Thomas
While I was in California, I had the pleasure of listening to Chef Naomi Shim of the Doubting Thomas restaurant in LA speak about her journey from 6th grade teacher to restauranteur. She is now a multi-faceted culinary maven but this wasn't always the case. She...
Motivational Monday!
I was in Southern California all last week for a little work and then a little play. I have headed out to Malibu the first week in May for the past two years to attend a Summit for the non-profit board I have the pleasure to serving (UrbanPromise International). Our...
