Have you ever had those moments when you thought that you may be in the Twilight Zone, but no one else seemed to notice? That was me, sitting in the back of the room at a conference session last week, looking around, prepared to pack up my bag and leave. But I didn’t. And here’s […]

Is the Fool a great place to work? Have our Fools tell you firsthand…
It wouldn’t be the weirdest thing at The Fool to see people throwing Nerf balls or setting their pods up for a miniature golf tournament throughout the office.
