This isn't really one of my typical blog posts...It's more of a personal journal entry. I hope you guys don't get too upset about the lack of 'lesson' but I figured I should share this regardless!
Over the past 6 months or so, my wife and I have been having some pretty big 'life changing' discussions.
I was presented with an opportunity to go in a new direction for my life and after a lot of talks, prayers and counsel...I'm beginning that journey tomorrow morning.
First up, the bad news...The CryptoManiacs podcast will have a new time each week. Because of this new change, I won't be around my computer at the current 1pm time slot on Tuesdays and Fridays.
I've already spoken to @taskmaster4450 and he knows that the schedule will be changing, and I'll know exactly when I'll be able to get the show done by tomorrow evening.
The good news...That's all that is going to really change right now lol. I'll still be posting on Hive. I'll still be working with ListNerds & Veews. I'll still be bugging people in the CTP Tribe. I'll still be building on Hive.
But I'm going back to school :)
Crazy right...45 years old, and doing this mid-life switch-a-roo in an industry I always thought I'd love to pursue, but up until 6 months ago...Didn't think it would be possible.
I'll dive more into my new adventure and journey in upcoming blog posts because I'm sure there will be LOTS to share.
But it's weird...In my heart of hearts, this feels like it's well overdue. It's not something that is common place for someone to 'add' or change career paths half way through their lives...But I think of this as just that...An addition!
And the best part, it won't hurt my online business or Hive journey as well! I might even get to dedicate more time to it actually lol
So here I am, going to bed SUPER early on a Sunday night because this guy has class at 7:45 am lol. I feel like a kid again, and very excited for the challenges ahead.
No real 'message' in this post, more of an update in Jongo's life and something that I will be concentrating on over the next few months. So if you don't see me around at the normal times, just give it an hour or two...I'll pop up and be in your feeds later that day :)
Thanks for reading my 'journal entry'!!
Here goes nothing....
Good luck, Jon for this new chapter! Are you going back to College or university? What will you do there exactly? Whatever you will learn, it will certainly be an enrichment as learning always brings you further. All the best!
I am btw doing kind of the same currently, tomorrow is the first session of Bitcoin Talents. A brand new program of the Frankfurt Business School.
Trade school actually. Trying something completely different than I have in the past!

Wow! Looking forward to hearing more! You will do great in whatever that path is.

New adventure, new beginning, new possibilities and fresh perspectives. Good luck and wishing you all the best on this new adventure of yours :).
Appreciate that very much, thanks for the kind words of support
!CTP
Don't forget to bring the apple to class Jon and good luck with the new direction.
LOL I literally told the teacher today I would do just that!
!CTP
Good luck on your new journey! It seems to me that more and more people these days are making a 'shift' later in life, and I think it's great!
Yeah for sure. It's been something I've been thinking about for a long time. Glad I got the courage to make it happen!
!CTP
Good luck in this new chapter of your life and you'll tell us how it goes!
!CTP
For sure, I'll keep everyone updated over the next few months!

.As the sayng goes " Change is good for the soul". Whatever works for you works for you. We all need change. We all have seen adults go back to school as we were on our way to graduate. You set your own path to follow and it will become achieveable. Good luck all the best in your life and your family
There is actually a few guys in my class around my age. Of course it;'s mostly kids in the 20's or so, but you can see where grown folks are showing up!
!CTP
Those that need a refresher course is always available. When you quit learning you quit living.
Wow good luck with the studies! What field are you getting into?
Gonna talk about it this week..Gives me more ideas to create content about lol
!CTP
Congrats and good luck!
ha ha ha ha thankfully, I was not the only mid-40's student today lol
!CTP
Ooh, I love adventures, and I adore school! Congrats on embarking on an adventure in learning, I know you will crush it!!
Thanks so much. First day in the books, and it was a lot of fun! Helps when you are in school for something you have an interest in lol
!CTP
Awesome fracking sauce 😎
Are we allowed to know what you are doing in school?
Very soon :)
I'll be diving into it this week!
!CTP
Awesome 👌
That's awesome! Best of luck to you! I am sure it is a really great opportunity. You are just a little younger than me. I couldn't imagine making such a huge decision at this point in my life. I totally respect what you are doing. Count me as impressed.
Thank you sir. Yeah it was an opportunity right in front of me and couldn't ignore it!
!CTP
That's awesome. Those are always the best!
Saturn is transiting in Aquarius from 17th January. I am not at all surprised that alot of people would be starting their new journey. All of us would have some changes while saturn forces us in that context. I don't know if you believe in it but I started to believe in all this since pandemic lol.
All the best to your new journey. Sometimes change is what we need in life.
Nah not up my alley, I'm more of a bible believer lol
Thanks for stopping by, yeah I'm looking forward to it big time!
!CTP
Congrats man! You are an entrepreneur, so this is really just another startup for you :D Have fun with it!

You are going back to school, that's a good one my friend, I also felt like that, but I can still cope, so you can, 😊
Thanks for stopping by, appreciate the comments!
Do it man, it is a nice feeling. After I worked 10 years as an accountant, I decided to change everything. move to another country and work something completely different, interacting with people insteasd of being in a room with my computer. And guess what, I do not have any regrets.
Do it! Good luck!
That is awesome! Ya it's a new adventure for sure. Something completely different but it still allows me to stick with my online businesses too.
!CTP
!LOLZ. I got a lesson in this journal entry. If you are willing and determined, you can do anything at any time of the life. That's the lesson!
Good luck with your new journey. I wish it would turn out to bethe best decision.
