Summary: <h1>Learning, Doing, Growing – S2E8</h1> <p>April is off and running, and we are already approaching the middle of the month! Last week was pretty busy, and I did not post a podcast. However, I was busy working on updating the site and streamlining the user experience! I was inspired by a book by author, podcaster and blogger Ravi Jayagopal. He wrote an e-book called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Wannabe-PodcaSTAR-Podcasting-Shocking-ebook/dp/B01M3XIARD/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1492135065&sr=1-2" target="_blank">Confessions of a Wannabe PodcaSTAR</a>, and after reading his book, I found that I could improve the site and podcast. It is learning, doing and growing in action! You should notice those changes right away.</p> <p>In addition, I launched a new <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1849137808692773/" target="_blank">Facebook Group dedicated to Small Scale Life</a>. I am hoping to grow a community that is engaged in blog and podcast topics. My plan is to let you see some behind-the-scenes items and content. Who knows? Maybe community members will get some other special perks as we grow!
