Only In Monroe --- May 22, 2026 youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4?...

New friend alert. Thanks for the fabulous catch up, Alex Rubin, AND photo (my one sleepy eye notwithstanding!). Glad me buying a Myki Meeks keychain from you at Roscoe's Tavern last week led to this connection. Also, Bisous is a divine spot here in Chicago! Highly recommend - tens across the board!

From INvolvePeople … At our London Role Model Gala, one message came through loud and clear: representation matters - and so does creating spaces where everyone can show up as their authentic selves ✨ www.instagram.com/reel/DYePaCJ...

Lazy #Sunday. #dogs #hudson #henryj #duncan #dogsofbluesky

I love when my colleagues have passion. That inimitable creative spark they bring to work and play. A fire that should always be supported. What a thrill to see Brennan Auth and his band Killmoves in their ZONE tonight at Schubas Tavern. They were fire.

I think people know I’m a bit … obsessed … with Elmo’s ongoing feud with his pal #Zoe’s “pet” rock #Rocco.

John Tawadrous's practice focuses on representing lenders, development finance institutions, export credit agencies and multilateral institutions in connection with a wide range of financing transactions, often in a cross-border context.

My reputation precedes me. 😅 Thank you, dear Jennifer Smuts, for being such a kind and thoughtful friend. This made my day! Love you! #ifeelseen #introvertsunite #andhide #andnap

To be clear … the video from the other day? Not an isolated occurrence. More like a daily, sometimes hourly, event. 😅 #wolfpack #dogs #hudson #duncan #brothers

#VedderOnTheBus ... not gonna lie ... this is a first for me in 15 years of #legalmarketing, but I'm enough of a geek, it really tickled me to see our name on the back of this bus on my way in this morning.

Four muses alight in Chicago: engineer (Nini Coco), actor (Myki Meeks), comedian (Darlene Mitchell), dancer (Juicy Love Dion) … a fab night of joy and inclusion at Roscoe’s reelroyreviews.com/2026/05/14/f...

Caption: “A thorn between four roses.” Confessional … season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race is the first full season I watched consistently (obsessed over). #badgay. My friend and #LMA23 co-conspirator #AthenaDion was a contestant this year, and I watched to show my support of a truly dear human being.

Gobsmacked! Thrilled to be nominated as one of Oktopost’s “B2B Social’s Rising 30” reelroyreviews.com/2026/05/12/g... @oktopost.bsky.social

Ever wonder what it’s like when a precocious, exuberant, sweetly feisty #chihuahua bonds with a lovely, affectionate, anxious 13-year-old #blacklab? Roll tape. Sound on. 😅 #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinsta #dogsofbluesky

Double rainbow over a godawful traffic jam … name of my unwritten memoir 😅🌈

Things I learned scrolling through the fab Legal Marketing Association - LMA International photo album for #LMA26 in #NOLA (view all the pics here: hubs.li/Q04ftHB40) … 1) My face is far too expressive for its own good (and age)

“May the bridges I burn light my way.” My review of The Devil Wears Prada 2 EXCERPT: “It’s a nifty bookend to the original film … and hopefully Disney/20th Century Studios can resist the greedy urge to force a trilogy down our collective throats.” #DevilWearsPrada

“There are ways to deliver services that are both efficient and effective,” Lindsay Hamilton of CALIBRATE said. “But often CMOs and other leaders are put into a position where legacy operating models don’t allow for autonomy and alignment.” www.law.com/americanlawy...

So, yes, Christina Lamb is a fab legal marketer … but did you know she also has a passion for hand-crafted #jewelry? File under: fun facts learned at #CMOExperience at #LMA26! You can check out her talents on display at www.strung.biz. #bornthisway #badass

It’s true 😅

“Really I was just looking for a place where I could continue to build in the agency finance space, while also expanding the private side work that I've been doing, and I think Vedder offers me the ability to create momentum in both areas, with a lot of strategic support," John Tawadrous said.

“He brings a highly technical and commercial skillset, and proven track record spanning agency finance, corporate finance, acquisition and leverage finance, project finance and venture financings,” said President and CEO Michael Nemeroff.

“John’s addition also strengthens and expands our relationship with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank), as we continue to grow our capabilities in transactions involving public and private sources of capital.” markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/...

It’s true. Fellow #Hoosier #DarleneMitchell brings the world together. I wore her t-shirt traveling home today from #NOLA. First, a lady manning the info desk at Chicago O'Hare International Airport stopped me and asked me where this diner was. (Apparently she’s a diner aficionado.)

Wonderful time of connection and education, commiseration and joy at #LMA26 in #NOLA. A sign of an incredible experience? I failed to take ANY pictures … I’m grateful for those who did! The Legal Marketing Association has given all of us members so much in terms of personal and professional growth.

Standing room only! Thrilled to have served as “judge” for “Elevate Your Impact: Innovative Strategies To Help Your Lawyers Win The Work They Want” at the Legal Marketing Association’s #LMA26 in NOLA.

#LMA26 … let’s gooooooooooo! #NOLA

“I know I am not alone in life challenges, and if no one shares what is going on, then we all feel alone. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like feeling like I’m alone. And you’re not alone.” - Heather Morse-Geller www.legalwatercoolerblog.com/2026/04/15/a... @heathermorse.bsky.social

“Madonna has a habit of reemerging at moments when the atmosphere tightens, when politics harden, and when the culture begins to narrow in ways that feel suffocating. People who have lived through that pattern recognize it in their bodies before they articulate it out loud.”

Anyone else already packed a week in advance of #LMA26? Asking for a *friend* (an arguably needy/obsessive one 😅). #nola😉

Oh, Howard Chaykin, this one put a smile on my face. Might be my favorite blog entry from you. My mother Susie Sexton would have adored this. I can imagine the instantaneous phone call I would have gotten upon her reading. howardchaykin.substack.com/p/frank-loes...
