This is a great video, Jason. I am just beginning with blogging about career issues in higher ed, and coaching. I find your blog very insightful and entertaining. As a father of 2 small kids, I also appreciated the sweet nature of your interaction with Elle in this video. Cute kid! (And smart!) Looking forward to reading more. Thanks for sharing your insights and a little peek into your real life with your readers.
