Yesterday I met former Governor Mark Warner, who is running for the senate, to talk about business. In their newly expanded offices, Mailtrust hosted a technology roundtable where Mark asked me and other business leaders how he can support our success here in Blacksburg, Virginia.

I was struck by the common thread in our answers, because in our own way, we each answered “help us connect."  From physical connections with the rest of the world through improved airport service to introductions and access to customers, partners and investors, we all want and need the same thing to be successful.

Success in business depends on building relationships. Building relationships depends on connecting. A big part of this blog is for that purpose. We want to reach out to you - our current and future customers, partners, industry peers, and employees – and connect.   

Let me know how we're doing.
