Olympus E-M5 Mark II : Part 1

Moments

My company is awesome. Check it out: SalesforceIQ.com.

In relation to my own professional development I had a conversation with one of the company’s founders recently and he told me a story about why moments was such an important value to him. He story really connected with me and I wanted to share it with you. ...
