SSAB - August 4, 2025

Back is feeling a lot better! Workouts in! 7 km in 53.27. Did it first thing in the morning and WOW did my back hurt! Second part of the workout was done in the afternoon, but no real structure, just moving around with weights. Civic Day holiday in Canada. Markets closed. Bank stonks a roarin! Gold stocks a jiggling. Energy stocks a-correcting. New tariffs in play. Lead Gen a go go! How many people do you need to talk to to get a good response? How much can I automate? Donate to the show!
