Corina: Excited to cruise with you, Spiffy! Books are an excellent format for artists to share their ideas in a way that is private and public at the same time. In order to receive the content a book has to offer, you must hold it in your hands, touch its cover, and turn its pages. Books can also be made in large quantities and in portable formats, making them ideal for sharing creative ideas with a large number of people in different places all at once. At the Center for Book Arts, we believe that everyone should have access to the skills to produce and share their own books.
Agatha: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! I am a lawyer for new companies who are changing the world through their products and services! Most of my clients have never started a business before, so they look to me to help them make sure that their company can be successful and legally sound. Lots of tricky issues come up when you start a business, such as how to hire employees, how to protect your name and your brand (your intellectual property), and how to handle disagreements. We help our clients solve many of the problems that they face in their businesses!
Shelley: Wonderful to have time with you, Spiffy! There is growing interest in investing in the early years—and for good reason. Children with high-quality early experiences do better in school, earn more income over their lifetimes, and enjoy better health. Furthermore, their parents are more secure in employment, and their families are more stable. That’s why for decades my colleagues and I have developed and implemented programs that meet children’s needs and support the grown-ups in their lives. Two of our signature programs are Start Right Now, which uses interactive audio instruction to link health, education, and workforce development, and First 10.
