As I laid in bed this morning counting the dots on my ceiling and passively pondering the inevitable heat death of the universe, I realized something. Much like Carina's most recent article on HubSpot pros and cons, my days are almost entirely governed by weighing pros and cons.
I'll show you what I mean...
Decision 1: I should get out of bed
Con: Out of bed is the bad place, it is cold and devoid of fuzzy blankets.
Pro: Being employed is a good thing.
Decision 2: I should get in the shower
Con: Shower is the cold, wet, dark place, and there's a lot of effort involved.
Pro: Not smelling is a good thing.
Decision 3: I should get out of the shower
Con: Beyond the shower is dangerous. Here, I am cleansed, free, safe.
Pro: Ew, pruned fingers are gross.
Decision 4: I should put on real clothing
Con: Mmmm, pajamas. Nature's hug.
Pro: I will likely not be taken seriously during a meeting in a penguin onesie.
And on, and on.
Now, should you read THE LATEST?
Con: Eh, it's Saturday and napping is awesome.
Pro: It'll take you less than five minutes to get through it, and afterward you'll be able to make smarter decisions faster — you can't lose.
I'll leave you to make your choice.

Luck for you, IMPACT Director of HubSpot Training Carina Duffy is here to save the day with this no-stone-unturned ultimate list of HubSpot pros and cons.

I'm so lucky. I get to wake up every morning and work with the most passionate, focused, inspiring people in our industry.
So, even though we're living in a time when it's a little harder to forge new human connections, I thought it might be fun to introduce you to a new member from my IMPACT work family each week!
Meet Melanie Collins
I've had the pleasure of working with IMPACT VP of Revenue Melanie Collins for a few years now, and we had an absolute blast rolling up our sleeves together as we (and others) helped build IMPACT's first revenue team this summer.
In addition to being a rockstar sales leader, what makes Melanie so wonderful to work with is her heart and how much she genuinely cares about people on her team. I've experienced this first-hand myself, but this story from fellow IMPACTer Genna Lepore sums it up:
"This week has been a doozy. Starting last Friday, my son was very sick and then I got pneumonia. Even though as a manager, it's her job to support me, Melanie has gone above and beyond and taken deals I was working on and knocked the work out of the park.I am so grateful for the support in what's been one crazy week. You go, Mel! #dreamteam"
Here are a few of Melanie's greatest hits:
