    Four Campaign That Will Start This Week… I have one of them and there are three others that I think would be worth taking a look at the promotion page and hitting save. I do this every Friday when I have a few campaigns I think are worth putting here, but normally with running campaigns. Since a bunch of campaigns are starting next week, I wanted to give you all a heads-up on following them and backing them when they start. I will not say much negative about a campaign. If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here. And for those wondering…

So the Monday streak of teaching videos will come to an end. I am sort of surprised it lasted as long as it did, to be honest. But all the learning is still recorded and there. And I would suggest that if you are interested, you take them as they were intended,…
