I’m really excited to kick off this year’s Blogtober. I know, it’s a corny name but bear with me.

For the whole month of October you’ll hear tips and techniques about blogging. I’m going to dig into the world of blogging and share lessons learned from years of living the life.

After performing a self-assessment on my content creation efforts over the past year, which was terrible, I’ve decided to bring more content to your screen…you deserve that.

This is an ambitious effort and I’m hoping I can not only deliver the planned content, but provide real value to you and your personal journey online.
