Lots of people walking, driving, doing business and going from place to place. The age seems to be low 20\u2019s to mid 40\u2019s. I rarely saw \u201cold\u201d people. It wasn&#8217;t always this way, but something changed in the last 10 years. I like it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was invited to meet my friend <strong>Trever Yarrish<\/strong> for lunch and catchup on all the wonderful things he has going on. We ended up spending most of lunch talking about AI and Apple\u2019s Vision Pro which was just announced a couple days earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trever runs a custom software development shop, just like I do, called <strong>Zeal<\/strong>. It\u2019s very hip and cool. Very Trever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also runs the <strong>Hivve<\/strong>. A hybrid co-working space (filled with young entrepreneurs) and public event space with live music every Friday night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s a passionate visionary and works hard to make Southern Oregon a better place everyday. He\u2019s about 15 years younger than I am, but I want to be just like him when I grow up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fun lunch conversation turned into a story, which wasn\u2019t our intent, but his words haunted me for several days. Not in a bad way necessarily. Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/southernoregonbusiness.com\/trever-yarrish-grants-pass-based-ceo-co-founder-at-zeal-and-founder-at-the-hivve-shares-his-vision-of-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">story on page 44<\/a> and let me know what you think.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day after our lunch, I surprised another friend with a private meet and greet with her favorite artist that she didn\u2019t know was her favorite artist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She saw a painting on the wall at the Rogue Valley Manor, took a pic and showed it to me one time. She said the painting moved her. I recognized the work right away and set upon a plan to surprise her. The planets aligned and I was able to arrange the meeting with rock star local artist <strong>Gabriel Mark Lipper<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/artofgabriel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/artofgabriel.com\/<\/a>) and it was an amazing moment for all. While setting this private showing up, he apologized to me that his studio might not have a lot of works available in it because much of his work in featured in a museum from June 1 to July 28. Can you guess which museum? That\u2019s right, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpmuseum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grants Pass Museum of Art<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said, Grants Pass has got it going on.
