Current Project: Reading books about entrepreneurs and sharing what I learned from them via blog posts and audio podcasts

Mission: Create a library of wisdom from notable entrepreneurs that current entrepreneurs can leverage to increase their chances of success

Metrics (cumulative since 4/1/24):

• Total audio recordings published: 76 (+5)
• Total blog posts published: 98 (+7)
• Average recording: roughly 16 minutes (+2) for a biography or autobiography

What I completed this week (link to last week’s commitments):

• Read the autobiography of John H. Johnson, founder and publisher of Jet and Ebony magazines  
• Attended a two-day podcasting conference
• Had one additional feedback session
• Compiled and sorted feedback from sessions completed the week of 6/24/24
• Updated all links to books in all blog posts (4/1/24 and after) and podcasts with Amazon affiliate links

Content:

• Audio content changes: I lengthened each recording by two minutes by adding more context and comparisons to other entrepreneurs

What I’ll do next week:

• Read one biography or autobiography
• Write seven blog posts and record seven audio posts
• Start reading one of the books about storytelling that I purchased; this is a carryover from last week
• Complete three feedback sessions
• Identify two candidates who can help edit recordings

Asks:

• Listen to my most recent series on Sam Zell and James Dyson and provide feedback on how I can improve them

Week two hundred twenty-three was another week of learning. Looking forward to next week!
