Oct 20 | THE Monday Report

In arguments, a partisan cares less for truth than for winning over others. Focusing on persuasion rather than fairness or genuine understanding.

FITLETE Professional Update

The Resource Nexus

— As you might have seen, there was a AWS outage today which disrupted a few things that happen on the back end. While I know these types of things are more rare than frequent it always open up the idea of trying to find a way to rely less on third party tools that themselves rely on these services. Luckily, I only use one service that uses AWS. Not only that, but being a seperate space for coaches to connect with businesses and individuals for education I believe is vital.

Personal Update

— Had a “boys weekend” with my college friends this past weekend. Also it’s only the 2nd or 3rd time we’ve doen an event like that since graduating…which was 15 years ago.

I truly value this new yearly gathering because it reminds me how easy it is for everyday demands to make us overlook special moments like this. That's why I appreciate putting in a little extra effort to make sure we don’t miss out on these meaningful occasions.
