Angel Investing, Entrepreneurship & Learning

One of the things that I love about business is that you are always interacting with people. I’m a true believer that the best things happen out of the office. Obviously, your time must be balanced — but for the most part, good things happen when you are out meeting and interacting with people.

Part of the passion that I have for business comes from the people that I work with on a daily basis. My partners (and our team for that matter) are hard-working and trustworthy individuals who are fun to be around.

I also really enjoy to meet new people. It’s very fun to meet other business professionals on a business relationship, but much more gratifying to get to know them on a more personal level. I can’t stand when I get so caught up in business that I forget to get to know people. Has that happened to you?

Something that I am trying to do that I think will make a difference is to be more personal in my communications with other people. Can you do that? For example, can you say, “Peace out, girl scout” at the end of your email? Can you say, “You’re a stud!”? Or does it have to be so formal? I don’t know. I just think that it would be fun to add a little more personality into the workplace.

Anyway, I’m just glad that I get to work with people. I’m always interested in meeting others…if you are reading this and I haven’t met you, feel free to contact me at brockjblake AT gmail.com.
