## Resource

WTF AIR CANADA! Jacking prices up just as I’m about to place my order. Maybe by the end of this podcast tickets will be cheaper. ***UPDATE: It seems like it is a feature of the system to prevent abuse! Prices returned to their regular levels after the episode was recorded!*** IBM is It’s Been Mauled! WTF happened? AI! Really? Or just profit taking? IBM has been here before and will be here again. Building up processes and figuring out which email marketing systems work best. How to do a campaign properly? Email Octopus, Loops, Kit, SendFox (I forgot I had paid for this one), Zapier, and more. Did get a run done but no weights: 7km in 48 min 14 sec. Kinda hot out there. Thinking it might be time to take some time off. And how is life without the collagen? Donate to the show!
