I got to meet blogger Victoria Klassen<\/a> through Twitter<\/a> at several local tweetups, but I feel I really get to know her through her writing. Today she published a wonderful post, A Forrest Gump kinda interview…<\/a>, based on customized interview questions sent to her by Raul Pacheco (aka Hummingbird604<\/a>). <\/p>\n

I was really impressed by the clarity of Victoria’s – or Tori’s – responses. Jealous, actually, since I seem to be in a hazy sort of funk where clarity stands no chance against the shadows. In particular, I thought her answer to question #2 (“Which element of communications is the one that makes you most passionate?”) was awesome: <\/p>\n

A winner, for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
