If you’ve never heard of Nick Panaseiko, that’s entirely understandable. He was a backstage guy, making sure that the act onstage is playing to a full house, making sure their records were on the radio and in record stores. He was a promo man.

Taking off from a popular Panasonic ad campaign of the day, legendary rocker Ronnie Hawkins dubbed him, ‘Nick Panaseiko, a man slightly ahead of his time’.

James Harmon has always had a passion for ambitious causes. As a banker, he successfully advised corporations, like Starbucks, and helped them to become cultural institutions. Dabbling in the movie and music industries, he found meaning in funding the art he felt would make people happy and add to the public good. His unique perspective on investment led him to the Clinton White House as head of EXIM Bank and, eventually, to Egypt, where he represented the State Department shortly after the Arab Spring. Still ​"up and doing," today he co-chairs the board of the World Resources Institute.

Listening to her audiobook is like spending a weekend with O'Keeffe in the incomparable light and clear air of northern New Mexico mountains and desert.

It was Benjamin Franklin who came up with the list - temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, humility. Writer and visual artist Teresa Jordan wondered if Franklin's perhaps antiquated notions of virtue might offer guidance to a nation increasingly divided by angry righteousness. She decided to try to live his list for a year, focusing on each virtue for a week at a time and taking weekends off to attend to the seven deadly sins.

Separation from family and friends during ’Pandemic 2020’ has made me feel empty and unable to socialize. In March, I started buying flowers as a way of adding a little bit of outside in my home. I would sip my boozy coffee while thinking about how much an ambivert like me missed chatting with people and absorbing their energy. After weekly posts of my coffee and flowers, my network encouraged me to create a space in which we can chat and reconnect the way we do over cocktails. Thus, ’Weekend Coffee Guh’ was born.
