Pour la première fois dans sa calamiteuse carrière de petit consul, Aurel Timescu fait l’objet d’une promotion. Le voici en Europe ou presque. Il est nommé en Albanie. Cet État voisin de la Grèce et de l’Italie n’est pas un pays comme les autres. Son territoire somptueux entre mer et montagne donne une trompeuse apparence de paix.

A few years ago, I started an experiment to see if I could create a business that I could manage solely using my Phone.

I recently toured Poshmark HQ, met with CEO Manish Chandra, and I have been a guest speaker at Poshmark Live in San Francisco. I ...
