As founder of InfoTrust , a digital analytics consulting and technology company, and the company’s Basket Brigade, a program that delivers Thanksgiving meals to local families in need, Alex Yastrebenetsky thinks he’s on to something.

It’s a holiday week, we’ve been cooped up inside with toddlers avoiding second-hand smoke from horrific #CampFire up north (and bracing ourselves for all the news that’s still to come out from what is left of Paradise, CA), and hosting family from out of town — so, this post is almost a week late and not as urgent as other matters, but better late than never.
