Here is the Coffee Hour Replay from 1/28/2026

Well, as I embark to meet the CEO of Mileseey (The Thermal Imaging Manufacturers) I reflect on so much work we still need to do in 2026. I have so much to create, so many helpful apps to build, so many things to teach. So, my challenge on this short trip is to answer the question "Where do I begin?".

We have some great things coming....Stay Tuned!

We will be introducing some Mini- Lesson directly on these forums in the next few weeks. Share the NEWS and as usual we continue to come up with ways to give back to our members. Who else does that?

Hey Folks - Coming Soon!

You can watch and listen below.

If you work with Electricity (Duh Right) you need to know what an Electrically Safe Work Condition is. Well, we got you over on FastTraxTube.com.
