Business Insider recently toured the new offices of Flatiron Health, a New York-based cancer technology company. The tour of the new 108,000 square-foot office space at One Soho Square featured a wide-open communal space made to fit company-wide meetings (the company currently employs 500, but the space can hold up to 700), a swanky Hydration Station, places for one-on-one […]
“On the 17th hole, which is all uphill, Brennan told me he was tired and may not be able to make it. And it was hot to say the least,” Brennan’s father Turner recalls. “I reminded him that he has faced a lot more challenging circumstances than walking two holes in the heat […]
Ever since the new version of Possibilites was published in November of 2016. I continue to be surprised by the occasional unexpected review, as well as sales performance data.

Have to admit “opening” my email from the Kirkus review with hesitation, as I knew that I was getting the full-blown, unbiased treatment from someone who had no previous opinions about me, or our story from the blog writing days. It seems I can always count on kind words from friends and family. But […]
