A New Course on Mind Mapping From The Sweet Setup

My good friend Mike Schmitz just released a new course on mind mapping over on The Sweet Setup today. I've watched Mike pour over the details of these courses before and know the depth he goes to make sure it is high quality and packed with information. Combine that with the passion of The Sweet Setup team and a 20% off launch price and you can't go wrong here. Check out the new course here!

The Services I Use To Avoid Google

For a couple of years now, I have been weaning myself off of Google’s services. I am simply tired of volunteering my information for their algorithms and seeing it used to create a confirmation bias that is unhealthy in the long-term. Yes, there are other companies doing the same, but for the sake of this article, let’s focus on Google. Here’s a look at the services I’m using to avoid them.
