Going to start tweeting about @mystrengthbook stuffs.

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

Heading on a tour across Australia in February. Looking forward to networking and learning more about their fitness industry. 🦘🇦🇺🌏🏋️‍♀️

3 new full-time hires today at @mystrengthbook -- We'll be accelerating everything over the next year.

Still bootstrapped and growing within our means.

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

I was reluctant to build this but then a customer of ours said they felt as if they lost their personal life because their WhatsApp was mostly work-related.

This feature gives them back their personal space.

Launching in-app chat this week for our PULL product. This will allow coaches to chat with their clients via their app. Send DMs, voice messages, and files.

Happy 🇨🇦 Day 📍

I don't see the value of their marketplace and we already know the fair market value of payment processing.

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

I'll never give in to apple/google and pay their 30% in-app payment fees. I've managed to find some creative ways around it.

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

This is a first. Probably need to rethink my phone plan

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

Can’t wait to hit the road again 🛴

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

Just got a reminder about for my flight to Portugal tomorrow 😰

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

If mass WFH is coming, cities/towns/islands need to up their advertising game of what amenities they offer

I am definitely up for a change in scenery👀

Jobs To Be Done is a powerful framework ... but how do you put it to work? How do you tap into empathy and discover customer intent?

We explore how you can apply JTBD to understand consumer needs >> https://t.co/uAH0Bn4GEW

Never really gamed in my life but covid pushed me to buy a Nintendo Switch. Currently hooked on Dr. Mario 💊

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

If WFH is becoming mainstream, where will the people flock to? I can see a lot of people leaving crowded/expensive cites for more lifestyle friendly locations 🏄🏝🏔🏂

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

In 2019, MyStrengthBook had customers from 44 different countries. I love the internet

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

Been really enjoying taking online courses in my spare time #productmanagement #maturestudent #QuarantineLife

@udacity @BrainStation

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

First impression of using figma was that it was frustrating AF. After playing with it for a few weeks I can now do stuff. #progress

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

Where did the last month go? I've been flat out. I think I am immune to stress now.

Unprecedented commodity prices in day job
Running a fitness startup when most gyms are closed
Wife forced to close physio clinics
Landlord with many tenants not working
Student

This is fun 😅

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

@udacity Great so far -- Thanks for asking!

[Mike MacDonald @mikemacd_123]

Quarantining is a great time to learn new skills. I’m enrolled in a new Udacity nano-degree program. What do you plan on doing?
