Emails? You mean the coy selfie video I send in my smoking jacket that starts with, "Oh hey there..."

After that it's a brief, 30-40 min series of vignettes featuring meaningful people from my professional life. It's not all praise, just enough of the laudatory and constructive to give this person a sense of who. I. Really. Am.

Clearly, I’ve been doing it wrong. <searches for smoking jacket>
