Episode Summary It’s been a busy few months, and haven’t been able to get any new episodes recorded, but I at least wanted to reach out and touch base about what’s been happening, and see how we can keep this podcast going to bring value to you. One thought is to share about the projects I’m working on in hopes that it inspires you to either create a project of your own, or want to share about what you have going on. In this episode, I talk about my ongoing learning process and how I’m not engaged in building Messenger Bots, and how it seems like a pretty good side hustle since the technology is so new, and is really fun to work with, and could be a good boost for small business owners.
