It has been a couple weeks of major travels, with trips from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Portland, Oregon and then to Vancouver, Canada. I was able to check out Nike’s headquarters, University of Oregon athletic facilities and athletic technology company RYU in the process. I also had the unique opportunity to run combine drills and play a little 7-on-7 with former NFL players. Meanwhile, business at Heitner Legal and Dynasty Dealings is booming and I continue to pump out new articles on Forbes and Inc. I wish everyone Happy Holidays. Let’s wrap up the year with strength!
