At this week’s meeting, we had a great activity, led by our education coordinator Jeremy Coombs – we attached a piece of blank paper to each member’s back and went around writing nice things about each other. This activity was based on research conducted on water molecules – The Effects of Your Positive Words.
Does it really work? We will leave that to the scientists. But it helped us to all start our day pretty pumped up. And now we all have a piece of paper with positive affirmations to look at if/when we have a bad day at work.

Michael Brant was a reluctant entrepreneur when he started his business in 2011, but now his business has blossomed into a boutique digital marketing agency. His company MRB Media helps businesses with brand development, web design, online presence management, search engine optimization, PPC advertising and a variety of other digital marketing services.
Much of Michael’s success is due to referral marketing, so he started SD Referral Club in 2016 with the goal of helping other small businesses grow. SDRC is about more than just generating referrals – it is focused on growth for the full entrepreneur – mind, body and spirit – rather than just growing the bottom line.
When he’s not working, Michael enjoys traveling (39+ countries), photography, mindfulness practice and making handmade cosmetics.
