Friday's Innovation Inspiration - Get a real job

There may be some of you who don’t remember this song, but in high school and early college it was one of my favorites. “Get a haircut and get a real job,” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers, really spoke to the rebel in me. Most of my rebellious days are behind [...]
