Gratitude Isn’t a Platitude

Fair warning: We’re gonna get personal in this post.

That’s because we’re feeling extra reflective this holiday season. We both had milestone birthdays this year (50 for Lowell, 75 for Mario), and we’ve both experienced personal loss. In the past month alone, Mario lost his first business partner and greatest mentor, Bill Witzel, and Lowell lost a dear colleague and mentor, Moe Stein.
