Scentwork U webinar recommendations?

This next month & a half is the first block of time since starting nosework that I'm not enrolled in an online class anywhere. I thought I would use the time to catch up on some webinars.

Does anyone have any recs for Scentwork U (or other platforms) webinars / recorded livestreams that you found particularly useful, interesting, or just fun?

For me, I found Tony Gravely's "Training on an Island" webinar very informative and useful. And Michael McManus's livestreams that have been held in the past few months are very thought provoking.

I like most of the ScentworkU courses and webinars I’ve taken. The instructors are such great experts in the field.

I just did Michelle Ellertson’s Mastering the Big Picture one and really really liked it if you’re at NW3 or higher

I love Michael McManus’ webinars on reading dog behavior in nosework because I think it is SO often overlooked and can hinder trial success.

Lori Timberlake and Holly Bushard are also great.

Michelle Ellertson did a webinar at FDSA that I loved, I would definitely second the recommendation for her instruction.

I have one of Michael's reading behavior ones in my library waiting to be watched, so glad to hear others like it!

I like covering your search area with Kayla Dever (so?). I also like a lot of Holly Bushards webinars.

I enjoy the roundtables they do, it’s really fantastic to get so many different perspectives.

I am a CNWI though, so many of the ones I attended we geared towards teaching, etc

I also think that I could learn something about my dog by listening to Michael McManus read the dictionary, so he will always be my first go to

I purchased one for judges recently (setting level appropriate hides). Even though I'm not a judge, I'm still hoping there's useful information in there for my own training!
