Loving this article Timi. How we can all become a big cheese in our communities with some creativity, persistence, and a clever idea ....

Well, I’m trying to decide between a practical post about LinkedIn for creators, and a filmmaker who’s rebooting their relevance mid-career. The second is harder to write than the first.

I loved reading this! I discovered this dairy about 3 years ago when moving to Macau. I was terrified that I was going from Italy to the middle of nowhere. I already made my own pasta, bread, ravioli, pizza... but the foreboding of not having access to cheese made me terrified. I was trying to find ways to make it at home effectively in this climate; they were the only ones close...

Anyhow, I regularly make ricotta at home, but we also get “real” cheese imported. One of these days I look forward to visiting these awesome ladies and tasting their products!

Ben, why am I not surprised you’d be an obsessive about cheese?

Preparing food is one of my ways of showing love. And when you really love (yourself, your friends, your family), isn’t it reasonable to take the time to express it?

I really enjoyed today's flash careers edition. The main article distilled the key lessons learned which I love, especially the first one about validating riskiest assumptions and the last one about having someone in your corner. Thanks for telling me about their dairy, I'm glad I got to visit a few years back. I sometimes still dream of that cheesecake!!
