Road Trip Blog Has Moved!

We must be doing something right on the road! We are moving from our free blog template at WordPress to the official blog site for Catalyst…it’s like the mangy puppy in the backyard being invited in to the warm house. (I wonder if we need to be potty trained???)

New Blog Site – www.catalystspace.com/catablog/

Because we want you to be able to have a one stop visit for all things Catalyst we are combining the Catalyst Blog and the Catalyst Road Trip on our new Catablog Page. You will now be able to follow cutting edge and innovative thoughts from some of our Catalyst Speakers, current news concerning the Catalyst Experience in October, and now, updates from the Catalyst Road Trip Team ALL “TOGETHER” ON ONE PAGE!

As is the case with any move, we need time to get everything in order and organize our new home with all of our road trip stuff BUT this also means that we will able to do some new things and flex our creative muscles! All future Road Trip Posts will be easily distinguished with a yellow background color AND a small Vanagon Icon in the corner.

More updates to come concerning the new blog site and how you can easily follow the Catalyst Road Trip! Stay tuned…

Thanks for your patience as we try to make this even better than before,

From Russia to Ukraine, & now back in Atlanta!

From Moscow, to Ukraine, back to Moscow, on to Germany, and finally back to Atlanta…this weekend was a weekend of travel for the ages! Over the past two weeks I traveled with an Athletes in Action Volleyball team throughout Russia and Ukraine playing matches and sharing our testimonies with players, coaches, and fans…it was an amazing trip (please forgive the seemingly trite descriptors like “amazing” that will have to suffice for a quick update like this). I arrived back in Atlanta around 10PM last night and am with the Catalyst team this morning catching up with these friends that have been sorely missed.

Real quick – Chris Ediger will be working on blog updates today and tomorrow so our next post will be Wednesday, July 2nd. We are going to be merging the Catlayst Road Trip Blog with the Catalyst Blog so that you will be able to stay updated on all things Catalyst without having to fly back and forth between two independent blog sites. Should be amazing! (ha, used it again )

Hey, a visit to Moscow just wasn’t complete without an honorary appearance from the Catalyst Vanagon! Here are just a couple pictures from the trip including Hunter Current, a 6’8″ Middle Blocker from USC introducing Moscow to the Highway Highlighter!!!

Blog Changes On The Horizon…

We are talking about how to streamline your Catalyst Blog experience and are planning on rolling out something new very soon…right now we have the Catalyst Blog and the Catalyst Road Trip Blog on separate pages and our hope is that you will be able to stay updated on all things Catalyst without having to navigate through different loop holes. Jesse Phillips has done a tremendous job on the Catalyst Blog and Ben Arment and Chris Ediger are absolutely brilliant in this world of blogging…they continue to offer so much wisdom and insight. (don’t worry, we aren’t getting rid of the Catalyst Road Trip Arcade! )

Do you ever have those moments when you just sit back and realize that you are surrounded by some pretty amazing people? That is the case more often than not in the Catalyst Office…what an honor to be able to serve with some of the greatest men and women I know.
