In the latter part of 2018, Gabe Teninbaum tweeted that he had decided to make his personal idea journal available to the public. I commented that I thought that was a cool idea. He encouraged me to do the same. Matt Homann also concurred. I’ve always liked Matt’s “idea garage sale” posts making available ideas

This post is another part of a continuing series of posts I’ll be doing over the next month or so that I’m calling DennisKennedy.Next. You can find others under that tag on this blog.

My New Approach to Speaking
This post will probably end up being a part of a series of posts that I think of as “DennisKennedy.Next.”
The law school semester has ended and now ready to launch some of the new things I’ll be doing going forward. Expect to see more on that in the next month or so.

This post begins my…
Recording The Kennedy-Mighell Report Podcast Live at #ABATECHSHOW
