Sunshine & PowerCuts

SunEp025 - Growth

First we look at what growth is and terms related to growth.

Growth takes time and the changes can be uncomfortable.

We and others around us may also have expectations related to growth.

And we require the right growing conditions.

What are some examples of growth you notice in nature?

Listen to this episode, and then check in with yourself and your journey of growth.

Hello and welcome to the Sunshine & PowerCuts podcast, my name is Heather and I am your host.

Notes from this episode:

Internet Connection Speeds - the rate in megabits per second (Mbps) at which data is able to be downloaded from the internet to your computer and data is able to be uploaded from your computer to the internet.

The faster the speed the faster the data is transferred, allowing for smoother livestreams for example.

My original connection speed was 5Mbps down, 1Mbps up - which led to stability issues whilst connecting via video and livestreaming.

The upgraded speed for the Sunshine Summit was 30Mbps down, 5Mbps up - which allowed the livestreams to go ahead.

The reason the speeds were taken away at the end of August according to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) was due to the tower the signal was coming from hadn't been upgraded to be able to cope with sending data that fast wirelessly.
