A city of 300,000+ but still a small world...

Recently we have been doing a lot of thinking about Cincinnati and the benefits of starting a business here. Though we are a city of more than 300,000 people, it sure can feel a great deal smaller from time to time. How great is this when starting your own business? What a tremendous built in asset - to live in a city in which people feel connected (as we ask "what high school did you go to") and want to help each other. Every day, we are reminded how lucky we are for having such a great network of people surrounding us, supporting us - and challenging us. We are grateful for every word of encouragement, introduction made and suggested improvement that comes our way.

Our "small town" feel was quite prevalent last night. As usual, Kelly and Caitlin had all of the details covered for our events, and I am the lucky one that just shows up (isn't that some quote - "80% of life is just showing up"?) Well, imagine our surprise when Kelly and I figured out that, not only were the hosts such terrific people, but we knew half of the guest list. From my childhood doctor, to past business associates, to actually being high school classmates of the guest of honor! We were simply delighted. A special congratulations to Carissa and thank you to Verna and Molly for having us. We really enjoyed it (and kind of felt like part of your party). Thank you, thank you!
