Aimee and I worked in 2010 and early 2011 when she left the company we had just acquired. After that, I had kept up with her during our catch up calls every March for her birthday. (Coincidentally, my daughter, she and I have three consecutive birthdays!!).

Over the years, I got to know how she overcame learning challenges as a young child and how she found her calling as an entrepreneur focusing on educational products on similarly challenged kids.

She was in Atlanta for a conference and that gave us an opportunity to catch up over dinner. I think this is the longest I have spent any face to face time with her.

Some great discussions on how to deal with people who think differently and in general, how to survive and excel by being different in a world where people choose to be around similar people.

Had a thought provoking session! And a lot of catch up of our colleagues from yesteryears!!
