p.s. you may have noticed we have added a new subscriber level for the SILICON NATION (www.TheSiliconNation.com) newsletter called “private party” - we have a few special people who are in that group already, and we’d love to have you join. We’ll be planning some professional get-togethers just for this group in the national capital region, and then nation-wide. Join the private party level.


If you can’t make it to a virtual happy hour on a Monday or one of our other special events, no worries! Check out the Graham Plaster podcast, at 30 episodes and counting, to hear from amazing people!
