Every week, director of operations Ryan Costello shares his thoughts on the state of the network, recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, and previews the Know Direction content of the week to come.
Going to keep this one brief. My dad’s in the hospital with what is projected to be a manageable blockage in his lung. Owen K.C. Stephens just got out of the hospital after almost a week spent dealing with pulmonary embolism, anemia, and pneumonia. And, in general, it feels like a larger number of people thn usual in my life are dealing with unexpected illness and tragedies. It’s weighing on me.
I’m not the first to say to reach out to your loved ones while you can, but I know I don’t listen to that advice as often as I should. It’s good advice.
Network Update
Originally I projected that the new content would roll out over February and March, but it’s starting to look like March and April is more realistic. Sorry about the delays, we want to make sure we launch strong, and that means more than just recording good first episodes but making actionable plans for the content going forward.
Speaking of content, here’s a recap of the Know Direction Network podcasts and articles that released last week:
