Brandon Hays. Manager, Occasional Writer, Person
Writings
I’m Brandon. I care about things. Sometimes I care so hard about them that words come out, and then these words come to live here.
Many of these words pertain to what I do for a living, but my hope is that they’re a bit broader than that. These are my signposts to myself as I wander, so I don’t forget the distillations of the lessons life keeps trying to teach me. Maybe you’ll get some value from them too.
Thanks for stopping by.
Talks
