SSAB - June 16, 2026

Back to the regular set up, it’s just easier.

Rough cuts done! Gotta work on those AI prompts!

More people playing and downloading! What does that mean? There are more plays and downloads overall, but I don’t know those exact figures.

-320 impressions

-84 plays (can only be 30 seconds)

-97.5% completion rate… meaning those who tune in finish listening.

Trump signs a deal, OIL goes down and GOLD goes up… but I thought GOLD was a contrarian play in times of uncertainty?

New York Knicks win!

Carolina Hurricanes win!

How’s the World Cup going? Don’t know!

And no workout in, but Chinese class done… nice and early: 9 am!
