Bamboo Toothbrush Market Growth & Trends

The global bamboo toothbrush market size is expected to reach USD 48.3 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 9.5% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising awareness toward the health and hygiene along with plastic pollution across the globe are the key factors for the market growth. Moreover, increasing side effects of plastic brushes and bristles has propelled the adoption of bamboo toothbrush among customers across the global market.

Since past few years, the governments of various countries around the world including Germany, Japan, Thailand, and South Africa have introduced anti-plastic policies along with several stringent regulations for plastic products and are successfully recycling plastics. According to a report ‘Single-use Plastics: A Roadmap for Sustainability’ published by the United Nations (UN), in 2018, countries such as Germany, Finland, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Canada, Australia, Thailand have the most successful stringent policies for the plastic products.

The governments of various countries are promoting the eco-friendly alternatives for plastic goods, which are anticipated to boost the demand for bamboo toothbrush across the globe. Plastic toothbrushes directly go to landfills and only a small part is recycled, which creates a huge plastic pollution. These factors are anticipated to boost the product demand over the forecast period.

North America was the largest bamboo toothbrush market, accounting for a revenue share of over 40.0% in 2019 owing to increasing adoption of biodegradable and eco-friendly dental care products. Major manufacturers such as Colgate-Palmolive Company, The Humble Co., Bamboo Brush Co., Brush with Bamboo, and Environmental Toothbrush are launching new products to gain maximum penetration across the globe.

Europe is one of the prominent markets, where manufacturers are launching new products to cater to the increasing demand from the customers. For instance, in October 2019, Colgate-Palmolive Company launched bamboo toothbrush in order to curb the increasing plastic pollution around the globe. These products are made of 100% bamboo, which are grown sustainably. The handle of the toothbrush is coated with beeswax to improve the durability and minimize water absorption.

10 Changes Leaders Must Make to Truly Address Diversity and Inclusion
By: Peterson Technology Partners
Tags: Inclusion, Diversity, Diversity And Inclusion, Thought Leadership, CEO

As a leader, I consider it my highest priority to ensure that my employees are happy. They invest more than eight hours a day, five days a week in my organization; it’s almost like their second home, so, they deserve to feel at home.

An employer’s responsibility does not end with issuing the paychecks on time, giving pep talks, or holding monthly status meetings; it is their duty to plan and establish a work culture that does not inhibit, exclude, or discriminate against employees.

Addressing diversity and inclusion in the workplace is important because it not only enhances employee experience, but also drives innovation and change across the organization. Simply having physical diversity within the workforce can help improve performance and motivation, as it presents an opportunity for employees to look at things from a different point of view and learn something new.

Why Diversity and Inclusion?

A 2018 research conducted by McKinsey confirms the link between workplace diversity and company financial performance. According to this study, organizations that are in the top quartile for gender diversity and ethnic diversity are more likely to outperform the companies in the fourth quartile by 21% and 33% respectively on EBIT margin (earnings before interest and taxes).

While this is excellent news, leaders should be excited by diversity and inclusion initiatives for reasons beyond the incentive of an increased financial margin. This requires that they be mindful enough to take the necessary steps for uprooting bias — regardless of gender, race, sexuality, age, religion, disability, marital status, or court records — that levels the playing field for every employee to have a chance at equal opportunities. In my experience, having a solid diversity and inclusion strategy helps attract top talent to the organization, and most importantly, makes them want to stay.

Here are 10 changes to make for an effective diversity and Inclusion initiative:

Instill a Sense of Belonging Mold Empathetic Leadership Focus on Connections not “Culture Fit” Re-examine Evaluation Processes and Recruitment Policies Shape a Multigenerational Workforce Revisit and Reinforce Anti-discriminatory Policies Build Inclusive Workspaces Conduct Pulse Surveys Within Minority Groups Have an Open-door Policy Understand that This is an Ongoing Exercise

Tags: Covid 19, Fuel, Global, CEO, Ethanol

The global ethanol fuel market is expected to reach USD 115.65 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 6.7%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Asia Pacific is estimated to witness a fast paced growth during the forecast period. China, India, and Philippines are the key countries that are considered to positively impact the industry growth in the future.

The government of India is currently drawing efforts on enhancing the use of ethyl alcohol as an automotive fuel. The National Policy on Biofuels was implemented in India in 2009, which stated that the oil manufacturing companies were required to distribute petrol blended with a minimum of 5% ethyl alcohol. Furthermore, this policy proposed a target of 20% increase in the blending rate by the end of 2017 in the country.

Growth of the automotive industry in India is another vital factor that is expected to enhance the consumption of the product over the years ahead. Government of India is focusing on making automobile sector as one of the major drivers of the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The manufacturing output of passenger vehicles is likely to reach approximately 9.4 million units by the end of 2026, as stated by the Auto Mission Plan (AMP) 2016–26.

Significant blending mandates in Australia, China, and Philippines are considered to drive the market demand during the forecast period. Australia currently has an E7 ethanol blending mandate implemented in New South Wales. Furthermore, Australia focuses on reaching a 10% biofuels mandate by the end of 2020. In China, nine provinces have proposed a 10% ethanol blends that include Jilin, Henan, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Anhui.

YouTube Increases Ads but Not All Content Creators Will Be Paid

YouTube will show ads on more videos, but not necessarily pay the video creator or content creator every piece of it.

So far the company shares ad revenue with video creators who are registered in the partnership scheme, when displaying ads before or during their content.

This means that YouTube will not share revenue from these ads with video creators. This policy also means viewers will see more ads across the site.

The company says the YouTube Partner Program is something that should be implemented, and is only available for channels that have more than 1,000 subscribers and have logged up to 4,000 watch hours a year.

However, the partner application process can take more than a month, as applications are queued for manual review by humans.

YouTube says channels that are not in the program will not “receive a share of the ad revenue” although their creators will have the opportunity to apply for YPP as usual if they meet the eligibility requirements.

This policy has drawn a lot of criticism from several YouTubers or content creators. There are those who accuse the company of moving the goalposts in the advertising policy, others say this is YouTube’s effort to encourage viewers to pay for premium ad-free products that are charged Rp.225 thousand per month.

It seems difficult to force more ads on users. However this policy may have some negative effects, especially for users who cannot afford YT’s premium services, wrote one user on the help forum.

Despite criticism, Stokel-Walker assessed that YouTube will still be a popular site and the company will not change this policy.

The number of creators trying to get popular on YouTube means that there are always others willing to replace those who are unhappy with the policy and want to leave, he said.
Covid-19 impact on Europe Wood Based Panel Market Size To Reach $28.03 Billion By 2025
By: Rajesh Varma
Tags: CEO, Wood Based Panel, Covid 19, Europe

The Europe wood based panel market is expected to reach USD 28.03 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for lightweight, high strength, and sturdy materials for packaging applications is expected to propel growth.

The region is one of the largest and the strictest markets for conventional and sustainable timber products as it is governed by several stringent rules and regulations. The market witnessed a high demand-supply gap during the economic downfall in the region, which impacted the revenues of suppliers. However, economic recovery in the region, which further is driving the construction and packaging sector growth is expected to propel product demand over the projected period.

The industry has several major players with high production capacities and strong foothold. These players are expected to undergo consolidations in order to strengthen their presence in the domestic as well as international markets.

High production capacities, wide product portfolio, lack of product innovations, and relatively slower growth of the application industries in the region are expected to increase rivalry. However, increasing demand for innovative products, particularly in decorative applications, is expected to open new avenues for the players.

If I was the CEO of PhonePe
By: Rohit Chauhan
Tags: Flipkart, Rohitspeaks, CEO, Walmart, Phonepe

Mint recently reported that Flipkart might look to go public as early as next year, on the back of rapid digital transformation in the country. Flipkart would look at an overseas listing, either in the US, where Walmart is headquartered or another country, and could be valued at $40–45 billion, according to individuals aware of the discussions.

Flipkart’s subsidiary PhonePe is working towards turning profitable by 2022, and going public by 2023.

PhonePe hived off

PhonePe demerged from parent entity Flipkart this past week to become an independent entity. The move aims to put the company in a position to raise capital and pursue growth independently.

The hived off entity will have its own board of directors and will continue to be led by Sameer Nigam.

PhonePe is leading the domestic digital payments industry with over 250 million registered users.

What’s next?

If I was the CEO at PhonePe the one thing I’d definitely worry about is the market turning crowded. I don’t want to be stuck into fighting off other competitors and play the race of lowering price. It’s a game I certainly don’t want to win…coz you know what’ll happen If you win, right???

As the CEO I have couple options:

Build an innovation engine. Force my team to cut through the clutter and start building product for my tribe. Market data suggests we have about 100 MM core digital payment users. I will work hard to understand their needs and make stuff for the edges. Focus on social commerce and offer multiple financial support services and enter the digital lending, commerce, support services. Start from scratch and build new products/services for my people.

It’s a difficult place for Sameer and my only advice for him. Do not accept the status quo. It is certain death of your business.

Have you ever cold emailed the CEO of a big company?
By: Pete Geissler
Tags: Email, Corporate Culture, Cold Emails, CEO, Corporations

Yes, several times, and successfully by thinking of my email as an ad:

1. The subject line is your first headline/ hook and is positive. I wrote this to the CEO of a major airline:

Thanks for my wonderful experience with your company

And this to the CEO of a nationwide consulting firm:

Please advise this budding author

2. The opening lines of your text are another headline/hook, are complimentary, and cater to the CEO’s needs, career, and ego.

Mike Jones of your Tampa operations deserves a raise and your applause for his exemplary service to me and other passengers. His behavior is proof positive that your strategy for superior customer service is working. On June 3, my family was stranded …

3. The body is short, no more than four lines, and relevant to the CEO’s needs for affirmation:

Mike quickly found another flight and we arrived home only a few hours late. He could have easily asked us to wait six hours while our scheduled plane was serviced …

A related tip:. Mention a mutual friend or well-known person in the same company or industry in your opener: I sent this to the CEO of another consulting firm:

Bill Smith suggested that your focus on technology is the primary reason for your firm’s stellar earnings during 2015. Would you agree? BTW, Bill and I are collaborating on …

A general guideline: Stroke their egos — CEOs have big ones or they wouldn’t be CEOs — by complimenting their real successes and by asking for advice. Note that I did that in the examples above.

BTW, the airline CEO US mailed me a personal note thanking me for my compliments, and the CEO of the consulting firm called me to confirm that I was on track with his strategy and ask about my collaboration with Bill.

I discuss these and other techniques for influencing in my book, The Power of Writing Well. In it, I posit:” In essence, the influence

of any message relies heavily on that old standby: Know your receiver(s) — his or her needs, wants, values, and interests — and address them with the content, structure, and tone of your message.”

Why Steve Jobs’ Personality Made Him a Great Leader
By: Jarrod Stringer
Tags: Personality, Resilience, Leadership, CEO, Psychology

Photo by Singkham from Pexels

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

Steve Jobs said this. He wasn’t the first to say it, but that never mattered to Jobs. He wasn’t concerned with being original all the time. In fact, he loved to borrow — or “steal,” as he put it — whenever he saw something that could be great but wasn’t. In fact, he seems to have stolen even this “stealing” idea from Picasso, who said that “Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal.” Jobs was always open to new ideas, ready to build on the best of them.

That openness was balanced by exactitude. Many Apple products have predecessors that, in Jobs vocabulary, were “trash” — okay, he used a different term for refuse. And Jobs didn’t tolerate trash. In fact, he detested anything not first-rate from top to bottom. He stressed getting every detail just right. These characteristics helped Steve Jobs lead Apple and Pixar to greatness.

According to Dr. Galen Buckwalter, an expert psychologist who famously pioneered the personality-based algorithm that powered eHarmony’s success, and current CEO of psyML,

“it’s not surprising that Jobs had the defining traits of leadership found in many successful CEOs: he was extremely outgoing, he was open to a vast array of ideas and information, and he was also able to zero in on exactly what is great about something and focus on it in detail to bring it to glorious life.”

Dr. Buckwalter further explains that “this combination of traits would be ideal if a company wanted to build a CEO personality from scratch. CEOs need to be able to think outside the box, bring the energy needed to interact with all types of people, and be systematic and driven in the execution of their vision.”

But Jobs, as Dr. Buckwalter observes, “couldn’t and didn’t do it alone.”

Great leaders are backed by great teams. Jobs absolutely understood this. As each person on the team brings something different, something needed, he was a huge advocate of collaboration. He went so far as to design Pixar’s headquarters with this in mind, funneling everyone into communal spaces so that people from each department interacted with one another and felt connected to the company’s larger purpose: telling great stories.

And teams need support in order to be able to be at their best together.

That is why Dr. Buckwalter, with our team at psyML, have developed The Science of Thriving, a quick course that uses scientific research about personality to help teams function at a higher level.

One of the biggest challenges facing companies today is how to help their people feel connected to their work and each other. The Science of Thriving is designed to help bridge both of these gaps and teach teams how to become more resilient, regardless of the challenges they face.

Is Stakeholder Capitalism Growing?
By: Network For Business Sustainability
Tags: Stakeholder Capitalism, B Corp, CEO, Sustainability, Csr

The Role of CEO Incentives

Our research examined how corporate boards reward and punish CEOs. Board of directors and CEOs represent the highest level of corporate decisions about priorities. Boards influence CEO behavior through rewards (e.g. pay packages) and penalties (e.g. dismissal).

If stakeholder capitalism is replacing shareholder capitalism, we should see boards rewarding CEOs for socially responsible actions and punishing them for a short-term focus on shareholder value.

For our research, we analyzed data from 217 U.S. publicly traded manufacturing firms, those listed among the 100 largest firms by Fortune magazine from 1980 to 2015. We looked specifically at times when a firm was performing poorly financially (as measured by return on assets), when boards were more likely to closely examine CEO behavior, to see how boards judged CEOs for behavior that prioritized:

short-term shareholder value. How did boards view downsizing the workforce (vs. expansion) and selling off unrelated businesses (“refocusing”)?

corporate social responsibility (CSR). Did boards reward or penalize CEOs for strong CSR performance (as measured by evaluator KLD)?

Signs of Shifting Board Behavior

Our research shows that since the early 2000s, U.S. corporations have moved from a model of capitalism that emphasizes shareholder value to a more stakeholder-oriented one.

In the 1980s and 1990s, boards reacted to poor firm financial performance by:

rewarding CEOs for behavior targeting short-term shareholder value (downsizing and refocusing).

penalizing CEOs for CSR activity.

In the 2000s and beyond, boards reacted to poor financial performance by:

penalizing CEOs for downsizing and refocusing.

rewarding CEOs for CSR activity.

The graphs below show these changing dynamics.

A New Norm?

In our research, we looked specifically at times when companies were experiencing poor performance and what kind of CEO behavior boards chose to reinforce then. That’s because we believe that when firms are struggling, boards are more likely to consider whether CEOs are following generally accepted management practices.

As a result, we think that boards’ choice to reinforce stakeholder-friendly actions reflect their views of generally accepted management practice. In rewarding CEOs for prioritizing stakeholders, boards are indicating that stakeholder capitalism is the new norm.

In more recent times, CEOs are increasingly being seen as creating value through their commitment to CSR initiatives. The lesson extends to other levels of managers, who are increasingly expected to adopt CSR initiatives and pursue firm profitability in a way that considers a wide range of stakeholders and builds long-term value.

Current Events Present Challenges to Family Governance - Susan Schoenfeld
By: Point Of View
Tags: Thought Partner, CEO, Wealth Legacy Advisors, Susan Schoenfeld

Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash

Susan Schoenfeld, an expert advisor to families of wealth, recently spoke on how the events of 2020 along with the political climate can impact families. Susan further delves into how such events have the potential to cause friction amongst families. Each generation has grown with their own unique perspective on life and considerations of what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong.’ Susan reinforces the idea of family communication in which each person is permitted to speak their mind, and is heard by others with respect.

Watch the video or read below:

“Older and younger generations alike have come to be a lot more socially aware this year. The Black Lives Movement has energized this awareness, especially amongst the younger generations.

“Numerous issues arise from this in the governance sphere, one of them being the need to reconcile generational differences of opinion. Making sure that all voices are heard becomes all the more important when each person at a table has a different point of view.

“Today, when the nation is so divided, the need to listen to other people’s point of view is critical — even if you disagree with them. Be it Thanksgiving or any other family gathering, the possibility of conflicting views is higher than ever. The need for respectfully listening and giving voice to other members of your family and their passions to come through is critically important.”

Building Intangibles in the Business — Are We Doing Consciously?
By: Pk Narayanan, Ceo Coach
Tags: Leadership, CEO, Intangibles, Scaleup

Intangibles account for 87% of the business valuation in S&P 500 as per a study done in 2015. In 1975, it was 17%.

Building and enhancing Intangibles in businesses are therefore essential to create long-term value.

How do businesses do that, in a conscious way?

First and foremost, it requires thinking beyond ROI for every decision that we make. It requires planning and strategising beyond the quarter, the year.

Second, it requires investment in people, nurturing talent — in leaders, teams within the business.

Third is building a Brand, backed by values, culture, reputation and recall.

Fourth is to build and nurture positive relationships, consciously, at all levels — employees, customers, vendors, service providers, investors…

Many successful businesses prioritize on building Intangibles for creating long-term value.

It’s worth recalling what Tony Hsieh of Zappos once famously said — “Just because you can’t measure the ROI of something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. What’s the ROI of hugging your mom?”

Big Investors into Bitcoin - Mitchell Dong
By: Point Of View
Tags: Savvy Investor, CEO, Pythagoras Investment, Mitchell Dong

Mitchell Dong CEO Pythagoras Investment Management

I’m surprised how many big investors have come out in the last few months to endorse bitcoin as a viable investment. The following is a list of investors and their rationale for investing in bitcoin.

Paul Tudor Jones, worth $ 5 billion according to Forbes, said that he allocated 2% of his assets, including his hedge fund, Tudor Investments, founded in 1980. “I came to the conclusion that bitcoin was going to be the best of inflation trades.”

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller, is long on bitcoin. His hedge fund made over 30% per year for 30 years, including working for George Soros in 1992 to break the Bank of England by shorting the British Pound and profiting $ 1 b. “Frankly, if the gold bet works the bitcoin bet will probably work better because it’s thinner, more illiquid and has a lot more beta to it.”

Billionaire Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says bitcoin is ‘The Best’ internet currency. “I think the internet wants a native currency and I think bitcoin is probably the best manifestation of that so far.” His company Square bought $50 m of bitcoin (at cost) in September.

Mexico’s second-richest person Ricardo Salinas Pliego confirms that 10% of his liquid portfolio is invested in bitcoin. Pliego has an estimated net worth of $12 billion.

Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn holds most of his wealth in cryptocurrency. Skype was sold to eBay for around $2.6 billion in 2005, Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor Personally Owns $240 Million in Bitcoin. “I personally hold 17,732 BTC which I bought at $9,882 each on average.”

Ray Dalio said Tuesday that he might be missing something about Bitcoin as the cryptocurrency. “I can’t imagine central banks, big Institutional investors, businesses or multinational companies using it,” Dalio added. “If I’m wrong about these things I would love to be corrected.”

Jim Cramer of Mad Money says “I am fixated on needing to own crypto because I fear massive amounts of inflation.”

The pace of endorsements of “digital gold” is really accelerating, which may be the driving force of the recent bitcoin rally.

Questions For Every CIO and Board About Security
By: Cio Mastermind
Tags: Security, Information Technology, CEO, Cybersecurity, Business

Questions For Every CIO and Board About Security

—

The CIO is in a unique position to communicate to the Board the information that helps them assess and evaluate security approach and activity, and incident response and recovery. The Board needs this information through direct and indirect vehicles: reports, sessions devoted to security, ongoing education, timely assessments and third-party input. In turn, the Board needs to help determine the internal checks and balances in place to ensure that they are receiving unbiased information. They need to know how management is thinking about security.

Photo by Art Wave

Together, the CIO and Board address several critical questions:

:: What should the focus of the Board be in regards to cyber-security?

:: How will the Board and Leadership interact?

:: Who is accountable for assessment and management of risks?

:: How are policies and procedures reflecting commitment to cyber-security?

:: What are the IT metrics that will comprise a new dashboard?

:: What is the incident response and recovery plan?

:: How will the Board receive ongoing education in cyber-security?

Cyber-risk is business-risk. Impact to the business is the focus more than impact to technology. The defense is in the details. The details are in the questions.

“Cherokee people say Otsaliheliga to express their gratitude.

It is a reminder to celebrate our blessings and reflect on our struggles — daily throughout the year and across the seasons,” writes Traci Sorell in her beautiful children’s book.

It’s pronounced oh-jah-LEE-hay-lee-gah. We are grateful.

As I read this book to my oldest daughter the night before Thanksgiving, I couldn’t help but think how apropos it is in these times.

As diverse as the leaves are in Autumn, so are the people of this earth.

But, the pandemic has bound us together in a way we’ve never experienced before.

We can all reflect on the myriad struggles we’ve faced this year.

Some of us have suffered the loss of family members or friends. We’ve lost jobs. We’ve undergone unprecedented hardships. We lost the ability to be with the people closest to us. We can’t travel to faraway places, meet new people, and learn new mind-expanding things about ourselves.

While our struggles will remain with us for some time, we, fortunately, retain the ability to give thanks.

Yes, Otsaliheliga.

We can still celebrate our blessings.

We can savor a new life we have brought into the world. We can enjoy the (virtual) connections we still share with our colleagues. We can rely on the indelible bond we have with our families to give us hope. We can remember those we love and reach out to them to reinforce togetherness. And we can take the time to celebrate the small victories we experience each day.

Oh-jah-LEE-hay-lee-gah..

Now is the time to give thanks and sow the seeds of the future.

Because, as persistently as the seasons come, we can count on growth in the Spring.

Unapologetically Ambitious

Tags: Leadership, Books, CEO, Startup, Book Review

The title of the book grabbed my attention at the first go itself and I immediately decided to get a copy to read it. Moreover, having known the author, Shellye Archambeau for a while, I was looking forward to imbibe lessons learnt from her career journey, recalling my exhilarating stint at MetricStream, where she led as the CEO. During her tenure, MetricStream successfully pivoted to a Platform model and scaled to become one of the market leaders in the GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) space. I still recollect numerous late night / early morning calls, deeply engaged conversations with Products, Services, Support teams while working on client problems and dashing off to take a flight to the other coast, on a day’s notice, all in the pursuit of client delight.

While reading the book, the first thing that struck me was that it makes no qualms about going for your most ambitious goal in a strategic and planned way from the get-go. Shellye mentions in her book that she had her sight on the top job in a corporate, right from the high school days and she navigated the course of her journey with a clear plan and adjusting it on the way, as necessary. Talk about long term vision and a plan !

The book has several life and career lessons in pages after pages and it imparts wisdom in a capsule format, that is easily digestible. Each chapter heading succintly outlines the key idea, which can also double as the key takeaway for the readers. It also outlines strategies and practical tips to deal with setbacks and challenges which are inevitable at times and how to navigate those tough terrain with self-determination and strong mindset. The book is written in a story-telling format and is an easy, pleasurable read.

After reading the book, I have tried to distill some of the key takeaways that resonated with me, in terms of skillsets to be cultivated if anyone is shooting for the top role in an Organization -

A Thanksgiving Message From Our CEO
By: Bundle Benefits
Tags: Thanksgiving, Gratefulness, Reflections, CEO, Gratitude

Like all of us, my social calendar begins to fill up the second a cool breeze comes racing through the city. Amid the endless holiday parties, I try to find some time to really sit down and think about what I am grateful for. My list usually covers all the basics; I’m thankful for my health, for my family, and for always having enough food to eat. Now, instead of primping and prepping for an endless parade of Friendsgiving’s, gift exchanges, and holiday brunches, I am spending my newfound free time remembering and reflecting about the past year.

2020 came in with a bang and has every intention of leaving the same way. During all the craziness and uncertainty this year has brought us, I remain amazed by the strength of the human spirit. When we began social distancing to fight COVID-19, we invented new ways to stay connected, through Zoom happy hours and virtual game nights. We collectively bonded over TV shows, like Tiger King, and shared our favorite recipes for banana bread and whipped coffee. I’m thankful for togetherness through distance.

As I quarantine with my family, I think about how lucky I am to have a home to raise my daughter in and keep her safe. I’m always thankful that my family and I are healthy. I feel that even more so this year, as our global community fights a virus through face masks and social distancing. I’ve always been appreciative of technology and the gifts it has brought us (like Netflix and online shopping). This year especially, I’m grateful for the internet. Not only would Bundle not exist without it, but I cannot imagine getting through quarantine without being able to connect with other people virtually. I will try to remember this next time I find myself complaining about internet speed.

I’m grateful to have a big, loving family that finds creative ways to have fun together, and I am grateful for ice cream, chocolate, and sweatpants for getting me through some tough days. I’m grateful to be a part of an organization that works hard to make a difference in people’s lives. It is a cliché, I know, but every time I hear from a parent telling me how much their child loves having Bundle Breaks, and how much these breaks have helped them take a break themselves or focus on work, I’m reminded why we do this.

This Thanksgiving, the Bundle team and I are especially grateful for all the employees we have been able to help during these stressful and uncertain times. We look forward to continuing to help working families, teams, and individuals alike. On behalf of the Bundle team, we wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving.
