With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I started thinking about luck. I decided to learn more by researching it. As luck would have it (pun intended), I found all kinds of great information. But I was most intrigued by something shared by Dr. Tina Seelig, a 50+ mermaid who teaches entrepreneurship at Stanford University. She

Like many of you, I’ve used headphones over the years, for business and pleasure. Often I had trouble with “in ear” headphones, for a variety of reasons: they didn’t stay in, they hurt, or I sweat so much (during workouts) that I built up water in my ears, which created a whole host of problems.
