Maintaining your sanity during the holidays
We all experience ups and downs in our mental health, but we don’t talk nearly enough about it. This can lead to burnout, poor performance, and lower life and job satisfaction.

A van that matters
"What in the world did I just do?!?” I thought to myself as I drove away — my mind riddled with fears and doubts, questioning every decision that led up to this moment. I had just pulled away from a car dealership in a used cargo van. Okay, perhaps we should rewind a little and discuss how I got here and, well, why does this matter? Well, COVID happened.

Destigmatizing mental health
I’m part of the generation that’s trying to destigmatize mental health. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 264 million people suffer from depression. Many of these people also experience anxiety – and that’s just those who report it. There are probably millions who are trying to act “tough,” like nothing is wrong.

Mental Health First Aid Kit
In today’s world, we’re constantly bombarded by signs reminding us to stay home if we have a cough or are feeling unwell. The same rule applies if we’re awaiting a COVID test. So why do we often wait to seek mental health help until it’s too late? By that point, we’re drowning. It can feel nearly impossible to get out of bed, let alone consider what we can do to get better.

Why we started
After 30 years in business, TCap had an amazing team. I know every organization thinks they have the best employees, but I swear, there’s something in the water here. When the people you work with feel like family – and you know what they stand for, what they can deliver, and what they want to do – you shouldn’t let that go.

How we continue to evolve our frontend tech (stack and beyond)
We aim to build the best product possible with our partners. That means our frontend and backend engineering teams work hard to keep up with the latest technologies, read up on documentation, join conferences and workshops, watch tutorials, and build small projects to experiment and share their results with the group, so we can improve our foundation in a way that suits our partners’ needs and business requirements.

Calling all freelancers
We build products that matter. Sometimes the products we're building require additional talent in areas we either don’t have yet or need to supplement on a short-term basis. So, we’re creating a community of freelancers who want to help us and our partners make a difference in the world —building products people love.

Using the power of 1-on-1 coaching with Sphere
Sphere is a platform that connects people with coaches, based on the belief that coaching should be accessible to anyone and everyone who would like to access it — not just those who can afford it or have the right connections. We first partnered with Sphere in January 2019 through the Sphere for Teams program. Since then, our people have found their own ways to incorporate Sphere coaching into both their personal and professional lives.

What we're reading - Skin Care
My birthday was coming up and my girlfriend sent me a copy of Caroline Hirons’ new book Skin Care. I had never heard of her and was immediately sold on her no-nonsense approach to knowledge-sharing, advice, and her love of skin. Hirons’ book is one of the easiest reads I’ve come across. It’s concise, factual, and features practical advice for people of all skin types, budgets, and varying degrees of knowledge on the subject.
