The adventure continues. Vegan pumpkin pie from the whole damn pumpkin! Just had a taste, and was tremendous, much better than I had figured if would be. Creamy, dense, not too sweet, no coconut milk, and my perfect secret spice recipe. OK, the crust is a cheat... Want my recipe, hit me up

Bummer. Harvard just let me know that my data may have been compromised in a recent hack of their alumni database. This is the sixth breach notification I've received in 2025. When will it end?

Busy week...
About 24,000 words written and another 21,000 line edited. Four discovery calls, three regular client meetings, two contracts drafted, 1 signed (the other will be), two client publishing celebrations, 1 Mastermind meeting, and a few hours spent updating SM profiles, including here.
