Old Gear, New Year: Duct Tape and Ass Ends Made of Beach Umbrella

December 30, 2013 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

I replaced these running shoes in October. Reluctantly. These shoes have taken me on the best running year of my life faithfully taking me up and down mountains and to finish lines in better time than ever before. They’ve carried me through the streets of Boston, Austin, Washington DC, and Phoenix; on the trails around […]

Trying Not To Drop The PR Baton

December 20, 2013 by Lisa Gerber Leave a Comment

PR Baton

I’m always fascinated by the follow-up questions I receive when someone asks what I do for a living. I’m in PR with an emphasis on digital communications. I usually wait with anticipation because I always get something good: “Oh, can you manage our Facebook page?” “You’re in advertising!” “Are you in charge of Sandpoint.com?” Another […]

disruptive marketing

Hi! I’m back and I missed you guys! I didn’t even intend to take a break from the blog but one thing led to another, and I did a lot of letting myself off the hook. I had written something for the Monday before Thanksgiving only to decide it was garbage and not publish it. […]

badge of busy

I don’t know when being busy became a badge of honor where we get to share with everyone OMG, how busy we are. Like it’s a competition. And we’re winning.

the value of story

You have 15 minutes to evacuate your home. Quick: What three things do you grab? Maybe… your photos (OK, your laptop with said photos), that coffee mug your grandmother made when she was a teenager, the painting you and your husband bought on honeymoon in Bali?
