Pride: A Celebration of Inclusion
By June, the rainbows are everywhere—fluttering from porches, decorating storefronts, and adding splashes of color to everyday life. They're the most visible part of Pride Month, but not the most important. At its heart, Pride is less about the symbols and more about the people who come together to create community, acceptance, and belonging. The roots of Pride go back to June 1969, when patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City pushed back against a police raid and the d

Bringing Structure to Small Business Growth
Hi everyone, Joe Bergquist here, founder of ClearPath Business Consulting. I work with owner-led businesses who are doing the work, bringing in revenue, and staying busy…but still feel like something is off behind the scenes. Most of the time, it’s not a sales issue. It’s not a work ethic issue either. It’s a lack of clear operating structure. After 20+ years in operations leadership, I’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly— businesses tracking a lot of things, but not always t

Why Nutrition Feels So Confusing Right Now
If nutrition feels confusing lately, you’re not imagining it. Open any social media app for two minutes, and you’ll see people debating over details… seed oils, artificial sweeteners, sugar in fruit, the timing of your coffee. Meanwhile, most normal people are just trying to figure out what to eat for lunch, how to make it through the afternoon, and when they can get to the grocery store. So, if things feel a little chaotic in the nutrition space right now, here’s a skill tha

DeNormandie Releases New work for upcoming show in Chicago
Join artist Brandon DeNormandie at The Other Art Fair Chicago, April 9–12, for a new collection rooted in the spirit of the American West and the raw voice of the land. Through mixed-media paintings and hand-built sculpture, DeNormandie works with weathered canvas, layered inks, reclaimed metals, wood, and stone—materials that carry the same grit as open range, river rock, and sun-worn timber. The work speaks to resilience learned from wide horizons: the patience of seasons,
