Hello Independent Believers!

Whether you live in the land of the weird mid-week holiday, salute from Boxes and Arrows for being you, and only you. We're taking this week off so that we can charge up for the next round, and the next, and the next.

In this issue, Christian Crumlish introduces the Learning From Failure Series, and Joe Lamantia kicks it off with his very personal tale of lessons learned from the entrepreneurial circuit.

Also, hear Tom Wailes' entertaining interview with Dan Brown where stark environmental differences change the definition of innovation.

May you shine brighter than the rocket's red glare!
