Yesterday, I made a return appearance on This Week in Connecticut with Dennis House to discuss mandatory vaccination policies. (My thanks to Dennis for the invite back.)

Over the weekend, I finished binge-watching Apple TV+’s The Morning Show and had two immediate reactions.

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to talk about Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace at the CBIA’s HR Conference. There was a lot to cover in our discussion and a lot of takeaways too.
