So, “how to” is the most searched term in the internet. Interesting right. It makes sense. How many of us have ever searched how to build a book of business?

The Bear: The Struggle
I have been watching the Bear on Hulu for a few weeks now. It is about the struggle, both personal and professional, of a chef in Chicago who is a reluctant business owner.
