Winter has arrived on the Eastern Shore, and more is coming. I’ll be getting on a flight to California tonight and missing the big snowstorm coming DC way. Hopefully, it’ll all be cleared up when I return next Sunday.
I am ready to get back into the swing of things. Given the holidays, there are not too many links this week, but I wanted to share my plans for posting this month and maybe into February.
As some of you might remember, I’m working on a book. I desperately need to get it done. I’m also working on a little branding refresh. To give myself the time I need to work on the book vs. write this newsletter, for a few weeks, I’m going to do some stuff from the archives with a few updated thoughts on those topics at the top. So a little bit of new with some of my more popular posts from the past.
I'm not sure yet when the podcast will resume. I want to shift that to video and need to think through the strategy. I’ll keep you posted.
Have a great Sunday.
