July 2025 Updates from The Cheerful Mind: podcast trailer is out, 2025 GOAL30 round 5 kickoff, live on YouTube this week, and more!



Happy Summer, Reader!

This is the first summer in a long time where I actually have a pretty heavy workload. Gone are the days of the "summer sabbatical" where I'd do work at an easy peasy rate. I have goals and stuff to do this year! Even though I've been busy, I've had some significant travel in the last month (highlights: Seeing Sunset Boulevard on Broadway, Seeing New Kids on the Block's Vegas Residency, Glamping and hiking in Zion/Bryce Canyon with family, and visiting with family in Michigan) so it's been a great mix of work and play. I feel like summer is flying by, and probably the next time you hear from me, we'll be back to school.

In any case, below are the latest updates on all the amazing projects I'm working on currently and how I can support you if you (or someone you know) needs it!

Cheers!


THE ACCOMPLISHMENT PROJECT

I'm proud to announce that the trailer for The Accomplishment Project Podcast is LIVE! You can now subscribe and listen to the trailer wherever you get your podcasts. Here is a link to various common platforms:

Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music

iHeartRadio | YouTube (coming soon)

This is a proud moment because not only did I make myself "Podcast Host Official," but I also got the help from my kids to put together the cover art (which I replaced from last month above) and trailer audio itself. How cool is it that the original music was designed by my oldest? And that my youngest was able to take a concept that I put together with the help of AI and made it exactly how I wanted it? So proud. More is on the way. it's going to be great.

How can you support me right now? If the podcast trailer resonates with you, please subscribe/follow! I'm not typically an algorithm chaser, but I also acknowledge that I'm doing myself a disservice by not giving my work the visibility it deserves. Also, if you are interested in being a part of my "data set" in my research on accomplishment, please fill out this form!

This newsletter provides just a highlight of what's happening, but get the full details on the progress of this project at the website:

I launch new posts on Fridays and the podcast episodes will air on Tuesdays once the podcast officially launches.

Well hello there! It's been a minute. As I've been looking back at the start of 2025, it looked rough. But for me, staying focused on what truly mattered really made a difference. I've been surprisingly quiet for most of the year, prioritizing my family and work, and to be honest, I've been really good. I've had some major milestones with family - I have a new nephew, my oldest got his driver's license, my youngest graduated 8th grade, and in work, I've really been working on some...
