Noah and I have met and briefly chatted a couple of times but I'm yet to have the...

The Good Reasons Why I Stepped Down as President of Team Up
Over the past two and a half years almost every day I've gone to bed and woken up  thinking about Team Up for Nonprofits, the 501(c) organization I founded.  As you might guess it takes a lot of time and energy to launch and grow a nonprofit organization, energy a founder gladly gives for his or her (metaphorical) baby.  But every founder also knows that at some...
