What if one of the best weeks in skydiving isn’t a boogie?

I had the opportunity to speak at European Skydiving Symposium in Seville, and I came away thinking this event deserves to be on more jumpers’ radar, not just for the learning, but for the full experience.

The organizers did an outstanding job. The city was unforgettable. The vibe was excellent all week. And with Skydive Spain a short drive away, it had the feel of a true destination event.

I wrote about what made the week so memorable here:

The 2026 European Skydiving Symposium in Seville, Spain exceeded expectations, again!

In 2024, with the rapid evolution of AI and its impact on search, we made a strategic decision to move away from the industry norm of relying on contractors for SEO. Without the ability to ensure ongoing education and process alignment, we were concerned about maintaining the high standards our clients expect.

To strengthen the consistency and quality of our search work, we brought on two exceptional full-time team members.

I’m excited to officially welcome Cecilia Malise, who joined us in December 2024, and Liz Gilanyi, who came aboard in January 2025. Cecilia—known to most as "CC"—and Liz have not only raised the bar with their work but have added so much to our team culture.

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to CC and Liz!

As a marketer, it's easy for me to promote things for others... I'm not so comfortable promoting things for myself.

That said, here we go.

For the past few years, I've had it in my mind to host a podcast centered on the amazing people that make up the skydiving industry.

After years of talking about it, I'm actually doing it. This is my passion project and I'm so enjoying it. For the past three months, I've been interviewing the people of skydiving who fascinate me - not their accomplishments, but what they did to achieve where they are today. I want to know their makeup - who they are as people - what motivates them to achieve.

In one week (August 28th), the first three episodes of "The 20 Minute Call" podcast will drop and I'm so excited to share it with everyone. The first three episodes take a deep dive with Kamuran Bayrasli (Sonic), Keri Bell and Shannon Har-Noy Pilcher.

My ask? Please follow the podcast (currently available on Apple, Spotify, and all the other podcast apps). The introduction episode summarizing the podcast is currently live.

I'd appreciate your support and when it goes live, your feedback!
