I am a firm believer that it’s important to celebrate milestones. Anniversaries, birthdays, project launches - in my opinion, they all need to be marked and noted, with proper gift giving, eating & drinking, and celebratory toasts.

Today is the first birthday of Pure Incubation. To celebrate, I’ll have a glass of wine with dinner. But perhaps the most fitting tribute was that today was also my first full-time employee’s first day of work. Today I spent four hours out of the office in meetings, but even so, we got more done today together than I get done in most days of working alone, even when I put in 12+ hours.

The timing was coincidental, but it turns out that a new employee was probably the best gift that I could have given Pure Incubation on its first birthday. Here’s to many more (birthdays AND employees)!
