Congratulations to @foliosociety.bsky.social & @soi128.bsky.social on an amazing opening reception for The Art of Folio exhibit! It was a night to be remembered. Couldn't make it to the reception? You have plenty of time to see the exhibit before it closes on 7/12.

Recently, the whole P1M team—yes, even @poppyhat.bsky.social from across the pond—gathered in NYC for some in-person work & fun! There is nothing like stepping out from behind our laptops and enjoying time as a team.
