SSAB - June 4, 2026

A quick thank you to the elderly lady from yesterday… she gave me the content for the episode!

Today is that day that which we shall not speak of!

Health check tomorrow, gotta go through the hoops.

Workout in! 6.5 km run done in 40.57… I need a new watch. Garmin? Meta glasses?! Also got some kettlebell work done… and that knocked me out.

Social shopping not taking off in North America, why not? First garage sales. Second, distance. Third, no manufacturing of the goods (we can just buy it from China). Fourth… China, you can’t make money from passive means such as ad revenue from networks, but you can in Canada and the US.

And rethinking this publishing everywhere bit. Am I doing it right?
