January has been chaotic, with travel to PodFest, family illnesses, and snow days all colliding. Despite technical issues, the PodFest talk went incredibly well, even leading to a potential client opportunity from the stage. Between catching up on work, including a nonprofit website redesign and recording a LinkedIn Learning course, the mindset that 2025 starts in February seems fitting.Disclosure: This summary was written by ChatGPT, based on the episode transcript.

After a holiday break filled with family time and adjusting to life with a new puppy, I’m rethinking my content focus for 2025.

If you had asked me even a month ago, “Are you doing a Black Friday sale,” I would have said no. Here’s what changed and how it came together. Plus a quick update on the rebrand!

I had every intention of not working today, the day before Thanksgiving. But the universe (and some mismanagement) had other plans. 

My be everywhere strategy for this year was an incredible failure. But that doesn’t mean I don’t learn anything. Medium hasn’t panned out, but perhaps Substack is worth a little more effort. 

Social media has been on my mind lately, especially with there now being four popular(ish) text-based platforms: Twitter, Blue Sky, Threads, and Mastodon. Here’s what I think about all of them. 

I rethink my content strategy during an upcoming rebrand, realizing that my most popular topics—gear, automations, and productivity—fit well with my new focus on helping solopreneurs streamline their lives. I'm excited about this shift because it lets me explore more interests and better serve my audience.**ChatGPT wrote this while I was helping my kiddo with her homework. It’s an accurate summary 😆

My new branding is nearly ready for the public. I've already started rolling it out in some places, but wanted to give you a quick walkthrough of everything before it's officially official. Plus, I'm trying out a new mic. New home page: https://casabona.org/joe-casabona/What's on my Desk Easter Egg: https://casabona.org/desk 

After a busy week filled with productive discovery calls, I’ve been exploring tools like Cast Magic and the OpenAI API, along with Zapier integrations, to streamline how I process and organize call insights. I’m teeming with ideas! Here’s how I’m thinking it will work. 

I’m dealing with a work hangover after wrapping an update to my LinkedIn Learning course PHP for WordPress, and now I’m struggling to regain my mental focus. In this episode, I share my thoughts on dealing with post-project fatigue, building momentum, and setting myself up for a productive week. Plus, I’m thinking about upcoming changes for all of my content in light of my imminent rebrand. 

I share a quick update on life since CaboPress. I also discuss helping my parents move out of our childhood home, an emotional milestone for the family. On the business side, I’m rethinking my VIP day concept based on valuable feedback, and I’m excited to share a sneak peek at the branding project Holly Arnett is developing for me. Also, LET’S GO YANKEES!

Largely one question is on my mind: am I limiting myself by only helping build podcast systems?

A quick update on the rebrand (and what word I want to “own) plus the possible future of this podcast. 

The first half of the week has been chaotic. Now it’s time to settle down and take a slower pace with work. 

I’m watching a comedy special on Netflix based on a clip on saw on Netflix 10 hours earlier and now I’m wondering if my position on short form video is wrong. 

Today I’m grappling with the fact that I have too many ideas, and want to quell them before the end of the month. 

Today I’m thinking about tasks you don’t need to do for your podcast or business, but still decide to do for some intangible reason.
