Meet Emily...

I'm off to Forth Worth and Dallas this morning, for two speaking opportunities. You'll find the details by clicking on "Speaking Engagements" a little lower down in the right sidebar. Before I go, I hope you'll join me in welcoming Emily St. Amand-Poliakoff as a new contributing editor on "Persist: The Blog." A recent graduate from USC's School of Music and a practicing musician, Emily brings the perspective of a bright and actively creative mind to the blog, along with some great organizational skills. She will be contributing her own thoughts along with interviews, and will serve as point-person when I'm gone. Please watch for her byline. Coming soon!
