[LAC Inside Scoop] It's here, It's here! JennyBlake.me Sent Tuesday, June 11, 2013 Hi Everyone! I am jumping out of my chair with excitement as I write this email to all of you. The long-awaited JennyBlake.me website has officially launched! As many of you know, I have been actively working on this for over a year . . . it rivals my book for the amount of work and intensity required, but it is so worth it. This is my life after Life After College. But don't worry . . . Life After College isn't going anywhere! It will just return to its roots a little […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Movin' & Shakin' in May! Sent Thursday, May 30, 2013 Hi Everyone, Can you believe we are halfway through 2013 already?! I'm still accidentally writing 2012 at the top of my journal. But that could also be attributed to the fact that every last waking brain cell has been dedicated to working on my new website, getting it ready for all of you with a brilliant team of magicians who are working hard behind the scenes. The countdown in ON . . . June 11, baby!! I will email you on that day with a heads-up as soon as the site is […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Big Ideas, Business Building & Book Launching Sent Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Hi Everyone,I'm getting ready to head to Dublin on Friday for my keynote to a group of ~100 Googlers who do training as part of their role, and it's such an honor to be asked back.I'm going to be talking about how to move beyond burnout to build a sustainable career, based on my smart phone analogy: ditch the linear rigidity of the career ladder and assemble your "phone" the way it makes most sense for YOU. What apps (skills, experiences, side hustles, interests) would feel […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Promote Yourself to CEO Sent Sunday, March 31, 2013 Hi Everyone, Hello from New York City! Happy Passover and Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate either of the two holidays :)I am thrilled to be back in New York (it's been 3.5 months that I've been gone) and am looking forward to revving up my routines again. My time in Bali and Thailand was incredible (full round-up here ) and now the challenge is to keep up the habits and routines on my "bliss list" — yoga, reading, walking, meditation, etc.My most recent stop was to […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Do you fall prey to Obsessive Comparison Disorder? Sent Thursday, February 28, 2013 Hi Everyone, Greetings from Chiang Mai! I'm in the Southeast Asia equivalent of Seattle for just a few more short weeks. It's a university town in Northern Thailand with handfuls of coffee shops lining every block (at least in my neighborhood) and tons of great restaurants including my two daily staples: all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet for $4 and a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with heaping Thai dishes for $1 each. Today's newsletter is a special one. Why? Because Melissa and […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Ready to Make Sh*t Happen? Sent Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Hi , I hope this email finds you well, and that your 2013 is off to a smashing start! Today's newsletter is a little different than most. Why?

[LAC Inside Scoop] Big things afoot! A peek behind my business Sent Wednesday, December 5, 2012 Hi Everyone,Long time no talk! Many of you who have joined in the last few months are just now hearing from me for the first time (howdy!), and all of you oldies who I love and adore are probably wondering what the heck happened to this newsletter! The short version: I've been working on major transitions behind the scenes at Life After College. With so much going on I have, admittedly, dropped the ball on the home front. And, if you want to know the honest truth, I got a little […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Long Overdue Updates! + MSH Enrollment Details Sent Wednesday, August 1, 2012 Hi Everyone,Long time no talk! The last newsletter I sent was in April (yikes!), when I was en route to Bali and Thailand for a month-long hiatus.Since coming home, I've stayed pretty quiet -- reflecting on the insights that came up while traveling and the uncertainty (and excitement) around what is shaping up next for me and my business. The big secret? I don't quite know yet . It's a funny place to be, and I'm sure many of you in transition can relate! It's a period of […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Juicy Goodies + JBE Travel Update Sent Monday, April 30, 2012 Hi Everyone, Long time no talk! I've been very busy over at JBE Headquarters hosting the Make Sh*t Happen Creative Weekend of Genius (my first live event!) this past weekend. The event was a huge success -- 15 alumni flew in from all over the country (and Canada) to brainstorm, dream, plan and mingle, and we're already working on planning the next one! More details below on the MSH re-launch for June. In other big news, I am heading to Bali and Thailand for the month of May, […]

[LAC Inside Scoop] Will You Be My Valentine? Sent Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Hi Everyone, I must confess that I am pretty ambivalent about Valentine's Day (as evidenced by the not-so-family-friendly tongue-in-cheek e-card I created last year :) On that note, my friend Elisa and I take great pride in creating snarky e-cards, which doubles as a great bad-mood reliever for you or a friend! At the very least someecards is a GREAT procrastination site for when you need a few good laughs... But love is in the air nonethless, and nothing makes me happier than […]
