I get requests for BackTo20/20 invites from people who tried other things, and had either no [...]

Stuff I’m Doing When Not Answering Your Questions
I mentioned recently how much I'm not into social media.But the social media manager here, which is an actual position and part of the team, makes a strong case for social.
