#BookExcerpt | "To shapeshift requires pushing the fringes of our disciplines and experience and exploring where they overlap with others. This breeds possibility, and we need as much possibility as we can get."

From the 15th century to the mid-19th century, Autograph books (books manufactured with blank pages) were used by many to collect personal messages, poems, drawings, and other hand-written mementos from their friends, colleagues and classmates, becoming invaluable keepsakes. Their popularity decreased with the introduction of yearbooks as the power of the handwritten messages sadly declined to a simple signature & “HAGS” (Have A Good Summer). In modern history, the only popular uses of this concept are in guestbooks, friend’s books (German tradition), yearbooks (as previously mentioned), and a few backpackers that make their own journals and post about it on social media. That is until today: I recently devoted my career to bringing the value of the autograph book back to life. I created a product with the same concept as the autograph books and aptly named it ‘The Cameo Journal’. I’m on a mission to revive a great old tradition. Will you join me?

Hey folks, Ever wondered why businesses are like high school yearbooks? Sounds funny, doesn't it? But, hear me out: Both contain stories and photographs that can make or break your reputation. Both value being voted 'most likely to succeed' by peers. Both require a perfect hairstyle…. oh wait, that's just yearbooks. 😄 All fun & games aside, let's talk business. A strong reputation is like the 'popular kid' everyone wants to know. 🏫 It not only attracts customers, but also star talent. It can be the difference between swinging open the doors every morning... or permanently bolting them shut. Let's always strive to maintain our business reputation, much like a meticulously combed high school hairstyle. And remember, every interaction matters. 😉 #BusinessReputation #CustomerExperience #WordOfMouth
