One of my favorite things to do at the end of each year is plan my Yearly Theme. It’s becoming a bit of a tradition and I’ve even got my wife in on the action this year. I find it’s better to have a guiding set of principles than a number of promises I may or may not1complete. 2020 caused many people to change how they do things, and I was no different. that’s why for 2021, my yearly theme is going to be The Year of Opportunity.Show NotesRead the post on my blogCGP Grey’s Theme VideoTheme System JournalMy YouTube ChannelSponsored by: Restrict Content Pro | Hostinger | TextExpander ★ Support this podcast ★

Well 2020 was unlike any year I’ve lived through, and I’m sure it’s the same for you. When I decided to come up with a theme for Season 9, which started in July, we were a couple of months into the global pandemic. I wanted focus on topics that could help you (and me) grow at a time where we were traveling less, seeing less foot traffic, and had to change in some way to make ends meet. I settled on coming up with good content, and using that content to evolve memberships, and build communities. If you didn’t catch every episode, here are the highlights.Check out all the episodes mentionedPodcast LiftoffSponsored by: ConvertKit | Hostinger ★ Support this podcast ★

In September 2020, my 4th book published by a publisher (6th overall) came out. It's called HTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide and it's a (very) beginner's guide to learning HTML and CSS.

I wanted to go through how I wrote it, from inception to hitting the shelved.Show NotesHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart GuideMindNodeProcreateSponsored by: ConvertKit | Hostinger ★ Support this podcast ★
