Welcome you champion to Episode 27 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. And it's almost like it's a repeat of the last few days or at least the last few weeks I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day. All I've done today pretty much is just work on the grip the sky experience. Long story short, I discovered that or not discovered I re experienced that wonderfully painfully annoying sensation that often happens, particularly when it comes to web development work, whereby. You've spent hours and hours days and days doing some work, only to discover that you needed to scrap it, and it was redundant because you had to change something which rendered it basically obsolete or different. So today, was one of those occasions, which was a bit frustrating. Literally, days, days are spent on certain functionality and certain design, and that's had to be thrown out, which is a bit frustrating. The flip side is that making changes to this particular part of the grip the sky experience is now much more streamlined and much easier and future changes won't require too much work as much work, and that is useful and important considering the idea behind the grip the sky experience is that it will serve as a template. Both my own future releases and for other artists as well. So I can be more streamlined with making changes and amendments and make it. Simplify in the backend, then obviously that's good, in the long run and probably will save me time, and the, possibly more important, other side effect or the main reason for doing it was the experience for the user is cleaner, better bit easier, a bit more fun. So I was hoping to have more or less finished it today. But that has been delayed, so I'm tentatively gonna say tomorrow but realistically, knowing how these things go, it's probably gonna be Saturday or even Sunday but I'm determined that it will be finished by the end of this week and next week, I will move on with a new project, although the new project will basically just be a replica of the last only focusing on marketing. So the next project will be focusing on how to get people to listen and enjoy the greatness guy experience and effectively, bring in new fans and, hopefully, turn some of those into strong fans and customers and monetize it and turn it into a profitable product, which is the idea, because if it becomes a profitable product as I mentioned in other podcasts. The idea is if I can make one pound and 10 p from it. And I spend a pound of that on advertising and that brings me back one pound 10 p, then I just put more money into advertising, and it's like a virtuous circle, and you can scale it up. So I know the principles are sound. Let's see if the actualities of it are, if they work. So yeah, that's basically been my focus today. So I feel like a bit of a bit of a stuck record you know just repeating myself. But other than that, feeling good. I've got my next personal training session tomorrow morning. And my triceps are still aching from Monday's first one. So that's gonna be interesting to see how that goes. I still haven't quite recovered. And one of the other things that I want to focus on is, you know, I've been working, I haven't done my done by one then fund. Recently I've just been just focused on getting this thing done and out the window, but the idea was that I would then have more time in the afternoons, and I'd give myself permission to chill a bit more, and also to do more stuff with the kids. And I really am struggling at the moment with we homeschool if you didn't know where we are, what, what are classed as World school as pre pandemic it meant that we were planning on travelling, and we were travelling and homeschooling our kids on the way. Post pandemic. We are my mother in law's, and have been for the last four months in Italy. And so we're, we're not even homeschooling really because proper homeschooling is actually going out and doing stuff meeting other families, etc. We're mostly staying in. And
