By Cheval John

Though were almost finished with the month of February, this article will present the live streaming stars to follow this year.

I would have normally post this before the new year begin, but I had an unexpected hiatus due to working full time again.

I also wanted to focus on getting back to exercising again because I know that being fit and healthy will allow me to be very successful in business.

In 2018, we saw a lot of changes in algorithms on different social media platforms.’

The biggest “uproar” was the new algorithm change with the so-called Facebook Zero, where they boost post from personal accounts to family and friends and trimmed the viewership of posts from business pages.

Another shift was a major mainstream company, Disney launching their live streaming service called ESPN+ in April of 2018 which stream live sporting events from mid-major universities, the National Hockey League (NHL) and more.

This list will be a bit different because it will include organizations who have adopted to live streaming.

Embracing Growth

By Cheval John

This has been a year of transition.

I had no idea that I would be working at a lodging company and learning the travel industry from the ground up.

In that time frame, I realized I needed to get back to exercising because I wanted to be here for a very long time.

I had the opportunity to learn from the best of the best in the travel industry and also learn how to become a better manager of my finances.

I also did not expect to take a long hiatus from my business because I was adjusting to being an employee again.

I am very appreciative of the lessons learned from this work experience and also managing my time better.

At the time of this post, I am back in Huntsville, Texas just for a day to see the growth of Sam Houston State University and cover the Bearkat Volleyball team’s matchup tonight.

What is really impressive is half of their season’s matchup have been televised live nationally on ESPN+ this year.

So it is safe to say small to medium sized businesses and even the smaller sports organizations are on a level playing field with the larger corporations.

I am getting back to the flow of blogging again.

So please bare with me and thank you for everything.

June Newsletter

By Cheval John

I am very sorry for being late in writing this newsletter.

I took an unexpected three weeks off from posting a blog.

I am now getting better in the trasition process of working at a second job during the night time while running my business.

What I have learned is that it is never easy to run a business while working full time.

However, it is worth it because I have the opportunity to learn more about the travel industry first hand by working in the hospitality business.

So my goal for this month is to be consistent in putting out weekly blog posts during this season of working as an employee in the hospitality business.

With that being said, I want to add that I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Dr. Ai Addyson Zhang on her facebook live show, “Classrooms Without Walls.”

Her show is well run and has viewers from around the world.

Another thing is the show is very niche and people who pass on the opportunity to be on Dr. Zhang’s show are missing out.

In addition to the show, here are articles for this month’s newsletter:
