Every week, Now You Know recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, previews the Know Direction content of the week to come, as the director of operations, Ryan Costello, shares his thoughts on the state of the network.
Quick note to say that while Jason deals with a personal issue, I work on a new writing assignment, and my wife deals with something work related (which impacts my free time and energy), new episodes of Upshift will be inconsistent. I’ll leave it in the preview in its time slot, though, because I won’t know until the day before if I have time for it in my schedule.
Speaking of schedules, here is the Know Direction Network content we released last week:

Essential Builds – Maverick
By Ryan Costello
