 About the Author
The author, @Janine Pollack, was skiing in Colorado this past February and realized a severe pylon break that necessitated travel shortly after the first of two surgeries. She found the travel experience stressful and humbling. Realizing her condition was temporary and wanted to do what she could to shed light on this topic for individuals for whom challenges are an everyday reality. And, with any luck, this blog will give someone an assist, and a marketer or two that much smarter for the benefit of all.
