August Recap: Sticks, SEO, and Solutions


Read time: 3 min 6 sec

Whatup Reader!

Where in the actual hell did August go?! June, July, and August felt like the calendar equivalent of L-M-N-O-P, and now we find ourselves on the eve of September.

If you’re new here, I send these recap emails out on the last day of each month as a way to share the things that this awesome community has told me they’ve found helpful, and also to let you in on things that are coming your way in the next few months. I know you’re busy and I realize I put out a lot of content in a bunch of different places, so if you’re ever worried about missing anything, rest assured that the monthly recap will have all the important stuff in it.

Alright, let’s get into it!


From the ‘Gram:

I’m still loving the Adobe editing, and the folks on Instagram seem to be as well. Here are a few fam faves from August. Click on any of the images below to check out the full post on Instagram.


From the Podcast:

We’re still plugging and chugging away on what is quite possibly my favorite medium for content creation.

As a reminder, this year I decided to switch things up and release only one new Maestro on the Mic podcast episode per week. I am however still also holding onto that Thursday spot and using it to re-publish a previously released episode, Thursday Throwback style. With over 600 episodes to choose from, it’s been awesome going into the “archives” and bringing back some bangers. I hope you enjoy the new stuff and the old stuff as much as I do.

Video versions of the new Monday podcast episodes are also available on YouTube for any of you who enjoy seeing just how animated I am when I speak ;-) Tap the links below to listen to my top picks from last month’s episodes or click the YouTube thumbnails to watch any of the Monday video podcast episodes on YouTube!

Thank you to everyone who has left a rating or review for the podcast, and thank you in advance to anyone who was just guilted into leaving one ;-)

PS – How dope are these thumbnail images?! Shoutout to @docjoeo for crushing it!

Double shoutout to those of you who know that flux capacitors (in reference to time travel) are not actually real, but Back to the Future is still an elite movie. Moving on to today’s story, if you follow me on IG then perhaps you know I have a penchant for DIY-ing things.
