When the opportunity came to join forces with Lucido Global, a shot of energy and excitement renewed my motivation. I’m excited to work alongside a very successful team and am confident it will be a beneficial partnership.” Mike is particularly excited about having partners to help his team grow with the right platforms and tools. “I won't have to fail as much and if so, I’ll fail forward faster and get up quicker,” said Chou. “I'm excited we'll be operating as a team and not as a group of individuals with our own agendas. We can go out and recruit the right talent now since we have the support in place to do so.” We are excited to have Mike as a partner leading and growing our Los Angeles market.

Pet-Safe Plants for Home Owners
With Spring in full swing you might be itching to bring some fresh greenery to your home, but if you’re a pet owner, proceed with caution. Many plants are actually toxic to cats and dogs. While you don’t really want your pet to chow down on any of your plants, here is a list of non-toxic varieties that are safe to keep around your four-legged friend. INDOOR PLANTS Areca Palm - also known as the butterfly plant, adds a tropical flair to your space. Boston Fern - the shaggy fronds may be a tempting toy to your pet, but perfectly safe. Polka-dot Plant - non-toxic, but may cause an upset stomach when consumed in large quantities. Spider Plant - easy-to-grow indoor planes that also act as natural air purifiers. OUTDOOR PLANTS Magnolia - come in both tree and shrub varieties, neither of which poses a threat to your pet. Pot Marigold - attract pollinators like bees to your garden, provide no threat to your pets, and require minimal maintenance. Snapdragon - a popular choice in spring or fall as they can stand up to cool weather. Sunflower - the seeds are an excellent food source for local wildlife such as birds. TOXIC PLANTS TO AVOID: Lilies Tulips Azaleas Oleander Castor Bean Chrysanthemum English Ivy Cannabis Cyclamen Kalanchoe Yew Amaryllis Autumn Crocus Pothos Schefflera
