Great list! I love how Brother is helping small businesses prosper. I know how big of a company it is but it is always inspiring to see them do something for other businesses. I think every business should do this every once in a while.
“Handling Sensitive Dress Code Issues without Getting Sued” – that’s an interesting one. Intriguing.
Also, anything with Seth Godin has got to be dope (re: ICON14) 🙂
