As we head into the weekend, I’d like to continue to highlight the mentors, supervisors and colleagues that help guide people throughout their careers.

So, if you have anyone you want to commend for helping you through your professional journey, please let us know.

What was the most helpful thing an old boss did for you? Whose shoulders are you standing on? Who do you feel paved or helped pave the way to where you are now?

Let us know by replying to this email or sending a response to baltimore@technical.ly.

Dropping Gems

• A thread on how a founder took their company from $1 million in revenue to $100 million.
• A thread with tips for copywriting and branding. Seems minor, but one thing I hear from many founders is how they wish they had thought more about marketing sooner
• A thread recommending some solid gen ed courses at YouTube university to help learn about startups, engineering and mathematics, to name a few.

In Other News

• A VFX studio run by former Ravens lineman Trevor Pryce is expanding along East Biddle Street.
• BPD is making a change in strategy to focus on “SMART Policing” and emergency situations, which would leave non-emergency calls to social workers or other third-party entities.
• In local media industry news: Baltimore Beat is back and the Baltimore Banner is partnering with WYPR to increase the impact of local journalism.
• The crabs industry in Maryland is floundering due to a lack of workers as demand increases.
