Dealing with Stress

Hello,

I don't know about you, but the last few months have been very stressful.  Work, life, family, business -- all demand your time, your resources, your best behavior.

I'm working hard at building my business and keeping my clients happy and engaged.  But sometimes I just want to tune everything out.

I've found a great outlet for dealing with stress and feeling better physically -- Bikram Yoga.  You've probably heard about hot yoga.  A hot room, 26 poses, the same dialogue every time.  While I'm in there, I can actually put my thoughts aside and just do the best I can.  When I'm done, I feel amazing.

Keep an open mind.  Check it out.

Best,

Jack

Working from Coffee Shops

Hello,

One of my favorite coffee shops in all of Portland is the Fehrenbacher Hof.  They play a wide assortment of different kinds of music, the people (both workers and patrons) are pleasant, fun and warm and they have amazing pastries, sandwiches and teas.  Plus, you can hang out there for hours undisturbed.  I'm there when my son is in school at MLC most every day.

Just wanted to share this with you.

best,

Jack

Great results in the Oregonian

Hello Everyone -- Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful reporter at the Oregonian newspaper -- Inara Verzemnieks.  She is one of the most professional, intelligent, thoughtful and responsive reporters I've met in recent years.  We worked together on a story about the Fashionbuddha animation studio which ran in the paper on Tuesday, July 21 -- complete with photographs, lengthy quotes and other background.  Just wanted to share this other PR people out there and their clients.

Best,
