I am thankful for myself. For pushing myself and getting uncomfortable. For blocking out the noise and listening to the positivity about who I am that has come from others and now from myself. I am thankful for my incredible wife Karen. Julie, Dom and G.A. @Ramon Ray I am thankful that after a year and a half of trying to get to work with you, that we made it happen.

It's important to give back, but we have to be careful about the cost of giving back. I think you should show up when it feels right to you, not because people are pressuring you to do so. Make sure you don't overpromise because then you'll get burned out, and the joy of giving back will be lost. Taking time to recharge is important because if YOU are in a good place when you're giving back, your gift isn't going to be as valuable.

I love to learn. I’m looking forward to getting back to Florida and learning more from our friend Dan. We learned so much from him about plants, Florida living and the history of our area. I will continue to learn from Julie, Dom, Ramon, G.A., Amilia, MaryLynn, Trisha and a host of others.

So excited to have you here! I'm an Online Business Manager/Fractional COO and @Ramon Ray Operations Manager. You can learn more about me at https://chriscushing.co. I'm here to help. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out.
