Hey there!
A couple of weeks ago, we taught the second week’s class in the ACX Master Class – the one where you download and install both Audacity and LAME.
What happened to one of my students made me finally take action against the LAME page we’ve been sending you all to for years…and to create one of my own (https://lame.vo2gogo.com/).
Here’s the story…

Hey there!
Out of the blue, one of my students asked me, “Why do you insist on adding the S to the HTTP at the beginning of your web address (https://vo2gogo.com)? It’s really annoying when I see that! I don’t want to have to remember to type an extra letter just to get to a site!”
There’s much to unpack there, but she has a valid question: why make your site secure?
I’ll tell you why: because if you don’t, Google will punish you in several ways. And I love them for doing it.
Here’s why.
PS: if your hosting service wants to charge you for making your sites secure, or for the required certificate you need to install, use the hosting service I use, Dreamhost. They charge no additional fees at all for what is now a necessity: https://vo2gogo.com/get-dreamhost.

When setting up links to our web pages, profiles, demos, resumes and other content, we want people to be drawn to click on those links.
I’ve got a few ways to make those links more appealing without getting into clickbait.

Almost every business has a failure along the way – in fact, so many companies have failures, or fail themselves, that TechCrunch has a whole area on their site called Deadpool that chronicles those failures (https://techcrunch.com/tag/deadpool/)
Recently, I had to shut down a product I had started – and it was hard to do. But it was necessary.
Hanging on to things that aren’t working as well as you’d hoped is a lot easier, but it just delays the inevitable.
Here’s how it felt to kill one of my babies.

Hey there!
Any idea how many robocalls we get each month? Here in the US, it’s 5 billion a month, all told. Some people place their phone numbers on the national Do Not Call list, at donotcall.gov. Most of the bad guys ignore that list, but it helps a little.
And many of us, in an attempt to stop the madness, wait for the instructions in the call as to what button to push to remove ourselves from the call center’s lists.
Big mistake.

Hey there!
We all yearn for success, and if we’re smart, we try to aim for improving our working lives to get to that successful point.
Often it’s a struggle. And that struggle can be lionized by those who have found their way to a successful station in life.
But sometimes, we get caught up in admiring the struggle. Envying the struggle. Wishing we had some more struggle. I call that “struggle porn.”
Here’s how to avoid it.

Hey there!
You’ve seen, heard and read tons and tons of advice about how to be more productive.
I’d like to show you how to be more productive and smarter…by being lazier than you already are. Seriously, I want to give you a beautiful permission slip to stop the madness and do absolutely nothing.
Like I do when I watch Judge Judy.
