But this take on change could make even the grinchiest of hearts grow two sizes on the spot. Best of luck to the obviously gracious and talented Jason, and to the equally obviously gracious and talented Jeffrey. May more partnerships draw to a close in this fashion. (Although maybe they shouldn't start that way. Ow!) Change is always hard. But this take on change could make even the grinchiest of hearts grow two sizes on the spot.

Being a HUGE basketball fan I will do the best I can to explain what I mean. I enjoyed the olden days when star players would become the franchise player of a team. Now a days this mindset is fading away. Players like Michael Jordan (I don't count his time with the Wizards), Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Reggie Miller, & David Robinson. It was almost unthinkable for these guys to put on a different jersey. And so it has gone at least in my mind with Jason & Happy Cog. It is bittersweet though, because I'm sure Jason has personal and professional goals and other reasons for moving on, so I have to be happy for the guy, but at the same time the news is sad.

That’s sufficiently rare in this (or any) industry. Best of luck to you both. While I’m sorry to hear that Jason’s leaving Happy Cog, it’s really great to hear that you’re parting on such good terms.

It's great to have such a raving review from you "boss". I wish Happy Cog and JSM much success in the future. Not that either need it. Awesome, congrats to Jason.
