Just this past weekend, we got to do one of our ✨ most favorite ✨ parts of our work with brokerage clients...Pedal Last Mile! Months (sometimes many) after the lease is signed, and the buildout is coming to a close, we spend a day with our client helping with the final tasks before opening. We make swag bags, we steam clothes, we assemble shelves, we organize pickles...we do it all!

I had a stack of books and a daily newspaper during the holiday break, but it was a recent article in The New Yorker that really got me thinking. So you can thank Cal Newport's “The Year in Quiet Quitting: A new generation discovers that it’s hard to balance work with a well lived life" from the December 29th issue for today's naval-gazing newsletter.
Newport argues that like the Boomers and Millennials before them, Gen Z is just taking its generational at-bat of reimagining the balance and intertwining of being a person and needing a job. As an elder millennial approaching my 42nd birthday, I could recognize the generational differences between my parents, my peers, and kids these days.
