I shot this Facebook live this week in snowy Toronto while attending a Mastermind with my business mentor Stu McLaren.

In this week’s video I’m owning up to the fact that I have not created any new content to send to you in this way since May last year.

During the past month you’ll have noticed a lot more activity than from me in your inbox than is “normal” during the rest of the year.
