Learning about the power of Phi, green building and thoughts on 33 years in business

I always enjoy talking with people who have been in business for decades. Today was especially nice because Peter Lyon shared some personal wisdom and encouragement (off camera) and he introduced me to the power of Phi, green building and shared his thoughts on 33 years in business. Thank you, Peter!  For more information, read Changing the World—One Building at a Time

Ann Marie is an awesome and inspiring woman who comes to us with MANY (not allowed to tell how many) years of experience in the publishing industry, published 16+ books on travel and is an avid outdoors woman.

Supporting the American Heart Association

I am very proud that Eucalyptus Magazine is supporting the local chapter of the American Heart Association. Today I met with Maria Pappas who is responsible for organizing the Research Roundtable event which raises over $600,000 for research dedicated to heart disease. I hope to be able to help them even more in 2011 and beyond.

Talking with Dimas DeMello, distribution manager at Eucalyptus Magazine

I would like to introduce to you the most dedicated person on the Eucalyptus team. Dimas DeMello is out there every day, rain or shine 100F or 0F, delivering magazines, taking care of racks and talking with customers. I am so happy to have him because without him, it would be very hard to publish a successful magazine. His job is to get the magazine to the hands of readers, and he gets the job done! Thank you, Dimas!
