Hi friend!

Here's your forever-free email I send at 7 am every Friday.

Each week, I send you something cool you can watch, read, use, and listen to.

If you dig it, or if you have any suggestions, reach out to me and let me know. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

If you hate it, cancel anytime. If you hate me, cancel me anytime.

Here's something for you to...

1) watch.

Why America Is Not That Bad

A short clip from the Netflix miniseries, Schulz Saves America.

Hilarious. Accurate. Useful.

2) read.

Letter from the House

A lovely little piece written by poet, David Whyte.

In this brief essay, he beautifully articulates our failures to simply disagree with one another. Everyone on the left is certain they're right. Everyone on the right is certain they're right.

When did patient and curious conversation become a radical concept? I'll say this to people and they tend to agree with me–so long as they hear what they want to hear.

3) use.

Annual Reviews

It's just three questions:

1. What went well this year?
2. What didn't go so well this year?
3. What am I working toward?

I'm not one for much reflection, but I gave it my best shot as 2020 comes to a close.

4) listen to.

Quotes.

“I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I’d like to be known.”

-Kristin Hannah

“Our attitude doesn’t have to be driven by the outside world, but sometimes, they overlap. The outside world provokes, persists and insists on changing the story we choose to tell ourselves.”

-Seth Godin

“The mind is infinite in wisdom. The brain is a stupid little dog that can be trained.”

-Jerry Seinfeld
