The Monday Report

July 1| 1,000 new in-person and virtual events added for the year's second half as I kick off Q3's updates.

Personal Update

A lesson in frugality and resourcefulness. I needed some more cardio torture devices for the facility, so given that I enjoy sticking to my budget, I took to the Facebook marketplace and found a rower in great condition and an industrialized version of a Versa climber called a “steel climber”.

Some new toys in the HQ

Fantastic podcasts I heard last week:

1. The Obvious Choice Podcast: 226 Charlie Hoehn- Creating something people can’t get enough of.

2. Founders Podcast: #354 Sam Walton: The Inside Story of America’s richest man.

3. Sigma Nutrition Radio: #524: Strength & Fitness Levels for Reducing Chronic Disease Risk & Promoting Health Ageing – Jordan Feigenbaum, MD

4. Renaissance Periodization Youtube: Celebrity Trainer Reveals The Truth About Steroid Use In Hollywood

Here’s a link to download Snipd, the podcast app I use to make a “notebook” of A.I. transcripts, bookmarks within episodes, and take notes on each podcast I hear! They have a free app you can use or, with this link, you get 1 month of their Premium version for free: 1 Free Month Of Premium Snipd

Professional Update

As I update new events and courses, I think it’s important for me to share any information I come across.

• 188 Organizations that I have cataloged education events in the past either no longer exist or have merged with other companies.

• 127 Organizations that used to have live events have been exclusively online for the last two years, either through recorded webinars or online courses.

• 126 Updates and checks I need to make to finish Q3 and conclude my event updates for 2024.

Someone informed me of an error they found on the online courses table: only the price filter works. This made me scratch my head, but I understand where I made an error, which will be fixed this week. This course directory is getting large and will most likely top 1,000 courses by the end of the year.
