Buzz does not necessarily equal “happy” or “successful”.

And, there are lots of good things going on that don’t get talked about much. Mr. Malik knows this far better than we do… he’s in a space where talking about good stuff no one else has glommed onto yet translates to circulation.

Let’s work on OUR fifteen minutes and hope we shine as bright as those before us (singing cumbya now) :)
