Pandemic Flatulence. This is my new (uncopyrighted) term. I coined it to explain the dramatic increase in what we used to call casual brain farts. I was beginning to think the world had gone mad.

As a business owner, you are bombarded with aggressive, strong and ‘manly’ messages.

I’d like to tell you why most of this
