Closing Thoughts

Savor moments like the Kanbas and mpkoz announcement. They encompass years of effort, are well thought-out, and are career empowering. I said this in the 24 Hours story, but it’s worth saying again. This industry moves *so fast* and we see *so much* that is fleeting, making these moments all the more impactful.
