This is my two-hundred-twenty-first weekly reflection or update.
Four weeks ago, I changed my weekly reflection to a weekly update on a current project. For more on why I made this change, see here.
Current Personal Project: Reading Books about Entrepreneurs and Sharing What I Learned from Them via Blog Posts and Audio Recordings Distributed as a Podcast
Metrics (since 4/1/24):
- Total audio recordings published: 63 (+7)
- Total blog posts published: 84 (+8)
- Average recording: roughly 13 minutes (+1) for a biography or autobiography
What I completed this week (link to last week’s commitments):
- Read a biography of James Dyson
- Had two additional feedback sessions—I missed my target by three; it was the fourth straight week I’ve missed this goal
- Compiled and sorted feedback from sessions completed the week of 6/10/24
- Implemented hack for Amazon affiliate links to resolve data-tracking issues when iPhone jumps from mobile app to Safari web browser
- Finished editing Jim Simons series using Descript
- Published a blog post explaining my decision to use Amazon affiliate links
Content:
- Audio content changes: Continued testing doing five episodes for Wayne Huizenga
- Tweaked podcast titles and descriptions of older episodes
What I’ll do next week:
- Read one biography or autobiography
- Create a draft of questions I want answered about each book
- Write seven blog posts and record seven audio posts
- Compile feedback from sessions completed the week of 6/17/24 and identify insights
- Complete three feedback sessions (reduced from five)
Asks:
- Please test the links in my podcast and blog. Please let me know if the link takes you directly to the book in the Amazon app or web browser
- Listen to my most recent audio recordings and provide feedback on how I can improve them
Week two hundred twenty-one was another week of learning. Looking forward to next week!
FYI: I’m still playing with the format for this weekly update. I’ll add and remove stuff until I settle on a format I like.
