For a long time I’ve been meaning to start posting videos for TikTok shop and see where it goes as a side hustle. I went to do it this weekend but for some reason my account still says I’m in Canada even though I moved to the US 2.5 years ago.

When I went to change it I got this message saying:

“Cannot update region

To update account region, you need to meet the following requirements

- You recently used TikTok in United States of America for at least 60 days

• You wait for the data maintenance to be completed in the region you are currently located or intend to change to

- You have no Creator Marketplace account linked to your current region”

Is this normal? I put in a support ticket to try and help me but that could take forever.

Has anyone else had trouble with this?

Do I need to start a new account based in the US?

Seems weird you can’t change your location on your profile. Also I don’t have any creator marketplace account attached to it.

The LAPD, the third-largest police force in the country, let its Flock contract expire on July 11, and cited civil liberties and privacy concerns rather than cost. Between August 2021 and May 2026, 82 Flock contracts were terminated across 28 states, with 39 of those in the first five months of 2026 alone.

Wondering how many people only listen to podcasts vs watch the video on YouTube, Spotify and now Apple?

Audio is definitely a more passive form that you can do while driving, working out, cleaning the house, while video likely creates more of a connection since you can actually see mannerisms, etc.

Or are some show better for audio and some better for video?

Love to hear what your go to is, which shows, and why!

Built my own investor CRM for my holdco. Worth productising or is this space already too crowded?

I run a holdco with a few companies under it, each raising on its own timeline. Seperate investors, seperate data rooms, nobody sees anyone else’s.

So I built it. Pipeline stages, a room per investor, tracking on who opened what and when, document permissions per room.

Works for what I need. But theres already a dozen tools doing this so I’m not sure theres a reason for another one. Worth turning into something other people can use, or am I just rebuilding what already exists?
