05: CLIPPINGS & PRESS

Newspaper Articles, Media, and Corporate Artifacts
NYT: Restaurant Workers Wages Lobbying nytimes.com/.../restaurant-workers-wages-lobbying.html David Fahrenthold leaves a lot to be desired as a newspaperman. He should probably go rewatch Season 4 of The Wire. The reason we figured out internally he was writing a story is he looked up one of our policy people on LinkedIn, and that person could see that David searched for him 'cause that's how LinkedIn works. The story is much worse than David wrote about and he got a significant amount of things wrong. If he'd like to take one of my kindergarten math classes, I'm happy to have him.

Weiss CPA: Hitting a Home Run weisscpa.com/.../hitting-a-home-run-working-with-clients-on-day-one/ Thoughts on effective onboarding strategies and establishing strong client relations right out of the gate. Weiss CPA: On the Fast Track weisscpa.com/news/on-the-fast-track-a-place-to-make-a-difference-2/ Corporate artifact reflecting on how to make an impact and push things forward early in a public accounting career.
[ ADDENDUM // ENDNOTE ]

The thing about the internet is that once you post something, it's out there forever.

But people change, don't they?

As we learn more, we change our minds. For now, I'm keeping these old links active so you can see where I've been.
