The Los Angeles Metro has finally begun construction on a transit hub to connect the city’s train system to Los Angeles International Airport. Déjà vu? You’re not alone.

Did you feel that? That was Q1 blowing past us, faster than we could keep up with it! Actually, that’s not exactly true; there was a class of elite agents that managed to move with the ever-shifting terrain, consistently bringing their A-game regardless of the challenges looming before them. To the people that say “quality […]
