About This Blog
This blog hosts career & life conversations weekly and I’m Rebecca Thorman.
I sell toilet paper, and manage PR and Community at the start-up company Alice.com in Madison, Wisconsin. My boyfriend co-founded the start-up company BrazenCareerist.com.
My background is in design, and starting my blog is the best career and life move I’ve ever made. Modite has been featured in several media outlets including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. My favorite brand of toilet paper is Cottonelle.
Thanks for stopping by; I like you already.
