Perhaps somewhat counterintuitive for a CEO, I believe that the bottom line is not always the dollar sign. Especially at this time of year, we have the opportunity to lean into the real Return on Investment – relationships. No surprise, research shows that relationships improve both physical and mental health. But no need to be data-driven…

Whatever your Thanksgiving table looks like – your kin, a Friendsgiving, a neighbor – savor it. And if you know someone without a table to enjoy, perhaps you can enlarge yours. 

We will be at my favorite place this Thanksgiving – at a table with our family. And I am incredibly grateful for that. While the menu doesn’t matter, I am happy to share a quick and easy side that speaks to the season.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Lents Mazur team and my family.
