Interesting Stuff by Chris Sandoval (5/31/2017)

Chris Sandoval is one of the most informed innovators that I know.  I subscribe to his newsletter, but I find that it gets lost in my email.  I figured that I would share this on my blog so that I don't forget to read it, and so that others can enjoy his great work.  If you would like to be added to his newsletter, let me know.

 I hope you find value from this newsletter. If it was forwarded to you and you want on the list, let me know.
Don’t want it? I’ll take you off the list, no hard feelings. I’m always open to feedback. Enjoy! – chris sandoval
