Our president surprised each of us with a crisp $50 bill at the holiday party. The only conditions were that we should “pay it forward” and make a difference somewhere. Here’s what one of our team members did with his donation.

When the Houston Astros won the World Series late in the fall of 2017, the country rallied around the young team that had brought home a much-needed win to a city recently devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Much like the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl win following Hurricane Katrina, the story wrote itself. It was yet another prime example of the way sports can unite us in even the toughest of times.

To reboot or not to reboot? That is the question. And for some reason has been, for as long as I can remember. Each of the various superhero universes. Every. Single. One. of Disney’s classics. And, of course, any 90s-00s TV show popular in America has gotten the technology age treatment.

Over the last few weeks, the United States Women’s National Soccer Team was thrust into the national spotlight as they competed for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in host country France. If you’re someone like me who played soccer growing up and loves the game, you were following their journey intently through each stage of their fourth world championship title. Yet even many who are normally not avid soccer fans were also well aware of the team’s bid for the cup as coverage graced screens and media across America.
