    A Real-Life Field of Dreams

    Recently, I made a career decision that wasn’t driven by title, compensation, or what looked good on paper. It was driven by my heart. This wasn’t about chasing a paycheck. It was about following a leader who is building something worth believing in. When the pandemic hit, many of us were suddenly scattered. Like so…

    I was in Brooklyn for Thanksgiving; while hanging with some close friends, I was surprised when one said, “Hey, why aren’t you blogging anymore?” then all chimed in – yeah, why – they were great!

    How I got here

    It is exciting for me to step into my uncomfortable place with the launch of my blog: They call me VC. I wish I had a nickel for every time I introduced myself and said …” Hi, I’m Victoria Conti, but they call me VC. Who the hell are they?? (haha) Well, “they” are pretty…
