Father, pilot, personal trainer, & steemit rookie!steemCreated with Sketch.

Honestly, I'm just figuring out this Steemit world. So far it's been fun and see a huge space it could fill in the social media universe.
In a nutshell: I started out as an airline pilot, transitioned to the fitness world as a personal trainer, boot camp operator, and gym owner. Last 18 months I've done Amazon sales, created a site that's like Netflix for home workouts, and discovered the crypto world.
My wife and I moved with our 5 kids to Costa Rica for a year and are now Texas bound! It's been a crazy 18 months but looking forward to what's on the horizon.

I'd love to hear from anyone with similar interests and/or experiences. Anyone lived abroad with kids? Pilots? Trainers?
Let's connect!

Welcome! I just joined recently myself. As a whole, it seems a lot more positive and forward-thinking that most social media sites. It won't take you long to catch on, but it'll take a little while to build up a reputable profile. It definitely feels good to see your profile grow, though!

Thanks for the info!

Welcome to Steem. Good luck.

thanks, you too

You're very much welcome.

Welcome to Steemit. I think you will like it. There are plenty of people who love talking about cryptocurrencies, but lots of other interests too. Have fun

Thanks, it's been fun to dig around and see what/who's in here.

@jjudd, welcome to Steemit. Glad you are apart of our community.

I have 5 children. My wife and I lived in Indonesia for 12 years. 4 of our 5 were born there. We just transitioned back to the US about 1 year ago. Honestly, it has been rough. Reverse culture shock is tough.

I have been on Steemit since June 2017. I am trying to learn more about cryptocurrencies, and I would like to start a online business.

Thanks for sharing. Started following!

Indonesia? Fantastic! We were only gone a year and it's still kind of weird to be back. What kind of online business are you thinking of? My site is 212workout.com and I do some stuff on Amazon as well. Thanks for chiming in!

Yes, I lived on the island of Sumatra for most of the time.

In regards to online business, I have several ideas (but not enough time);

  • I want to continue blogging on Steemit
  • I created an online course for Steemit users who want to learn markdown: Steem Markdown
  • I had one small successful run with Amazon FBA
  • I have an affiliate bitcoin affiliate website I need to finish
  • And some other things as well.

Right now I am trying to focus on building my Steemit brand and marketing the online course.

Dang! You've been busy. Why'd you stop FBA?

Howdy jjudd! Welcome to Steem! Glad to have you with us.

Not sure about the flight or athletic training thing, but there is definitely a place for parents here on the blockchain. Check out the tag #steemparents as well as #steemdad. Loota good people sharing their stories and frustrations of parenting out here.

Have a blast on the platform! Looking forward to seeing your next contributions!

Thanks, I'll check those out.
