What I'm Doing Now
This is a now page. I'm writing it because the question I get most from readers, when we meet, is "what are you up to now? "Until a few days ago I would joke that "my brains are scrambled from DCBKK."
But here's a real answer:
I'm working on the TMBA podcast. This is generally my top priority task on a week-to-week basis. We're investing more than ever in the show's production as we push through our 7th year on the air. There's 4 of us working on it! Got a story you think we should cover? We welcome emails to our producer Jane at TropicalMBA.com.
We're hiring someone to help us with the DC. Part of the reason is that our community manger, Jessica Malnik, Ian, and myself have a lot of plans for our members in 2017 and we'll need extra support. This is where we spend most time currently. It's a location independent gig, and the deadline to apply is November 11th.
I'm riding my bike. In my first year on the bike, I competed in 3 events. Next year I plan to do many more, mostly in Europe. So I've hired a coach and set up shop in Chiang Mai for some 'winter' training. Chiang Mai is a hotspot for cyclists and entrepreneurs alike. Part of the reason why I love the sport (as someone in my mid-30's) is that I can practice daily and, baring crashes, mostly avoid injuries. That was not the case for me with my other sporting loves (I'm looking at you, basketball).
We're revamping TMBA to make it more useful. We haven't made any updates to this site for years. It's a mess to use and too hard to follow everything that's happening below the blog. The team and I are aiming to sort that out by end of year.
Ian and I are aiming to... well, do more. But so far it's just been a lot of really good talks. So, I'm having a lot of really good talks. :)
I'm answering comments too!
Cheers,
Dan
