PUB Crawl for March 4, 2019

A few days out of the office can seem like an eternity sometimes. I was greeted this morning by a whole new floor opening in our coworking space in Washington DC, and happened to immediately come across the following familiar logo.

Salesforce Power of Us Hub PUB Crawl for March 4, 2019

Nice to see that it's right near the coffee machine, helping all those playing a few games of Ms Pac-Man into the late evening hours can really burn the midnight oil while also building Process Builder flows. To help us celebrate our Salesforce friends joining us with new office space in our building, a toast with your favorite beverage, and another round of knowledge here at the PUB Crawl.

PUB Crawl for February 25, 2019

For those of you who are young-at-heart enough to remember, sports broadcast in the US would pause once during a game for "station identification". To be honest, I really don't know why that happened, but it's ingrained somewhere in the recesses of my brain along with random Oakland A's baseball statistics from the late 1980s.

I figured, after writing, oh, let's say 177 weeks in a row, that maybe it's a good time to do a little station identification for ourselves. Plus, I did have two conversations last week where someone said, "...and I didn't even realize you were the same guy that wrote the PUB Crawl."

Salesforce Power of Us Hub PUB Crawl for February 25, 2019

For those of you who don't know, between PUB Crawl newsletters, NPSP Days, burritos, and various airports, I live a second life as a member of the Soapbox Engage team. We're the folks that think you shouldn't have to raise money to afford fundraising software, and who believe every effort we make as a community together moves the needle in the right direction of social justice and a better world.

So, if you feel like you should be getting more from your online donation, event registration, and advocacy software, I happen to know a team of penguins that would be excited to lend a hand...and maybe put a smile on your face.

Alright, that's enough of a commercial break for 3.5 years. Let's return you to your regularly scheduled program already in progress. Saddle up to the bar, and enjoy a fresh round of knowledge from your Salesforce community friends!

PUB Crawl for February 18, 2019

Sometimes, working within a product as complex as Salesforce can feel like me walking through what was a week of blizzard-like conditions in the mountains (and yes, of course I did multiple whale dives into the 7 feet of powder that dropped in 72 hours).

Salesforce Power of Us Hub PUB Crawl for February 18, 2019

Luckily, you're never too far from experts that can point you in the right direction in the Salesforce non-profit world...and friends making guacamole in my world. Wherever you are this week, get cozy with another round of Salesforce knowledge!

PUB Crawl for February 11, 2019

Every once in while, it seems like a good idea to push yourself just a bit outside of your comfort zone. It's especially helpful, though, to do it when you have a massive support cushion to fall into just in case you make a wrong turn. That's pretty much what I tried this weekend, and I'm happy to say that when there's 3 feet of overnight snow, I was less likely to injure myself on the ski slopes and more likely to wear a few pounds of fresh snow on the way down.

Salesforce Power of Us Hub PUB Crawl for February 11, 2019

So while I tried to dry off in front of a fire, I had a chance to dive into the Power of Us Hub and curate some awesome content from the community. Enjoy this week's PUB Crawl!

PUB Crawl for February 4, 2019

Any chance you've had the nightmare of not being even slightly prepared for an exam at school? You know, that dream that starts with you realizing that there's an infinite number of books to read and about 10 minutes to consume them all? That vision rushed through my subconscious while doing some college library tourism (long story) at the University of Kansas this weekend. You know, a typical Saturday for me.

Salesforce Power of Us Hub PUB Crawl for February 4, 2019

Luckily, the real-time reliving of a non-existent stress made sports watching a bit easier this weekend, though the coffee habit did help for a certain football game.

If you're still snoozing through the Super Bowl...wake up, it's time to study! Join us for a much more effective, and significantly less stressful, learning session with your non-profit community friends from the Power of Us Hub!
