I’m trying out a new short(er) format this month. There’s no theme or lengthy intro. Instead, there’s a handful of great articles and videos to check out.
- What’s more important – talent or discipline?
- Is social media killing authentic travel experiences?
- Can you grow a successful startup as a side hustle?
- This thread should be required reading for any career-oriented person in their 20s or 30s.
- “Life can be improved by adding, or by subtracting. The world pushes us to add, because that benefits them. But the secret is to focus on subtracting.”
Just For Kicks
- Have you ever wondered why there are a dozen mattress stores in a 5-mile radius? This video explains how the mattress industry operates.
- Tis the season for adorable holiday commercials? This ad from a French telecom company takes storytelling to the next level.
- What did I just watch? It is strangely catchy and makes me see The Kool-Aid Man in a whole new light.
- Finally, this might be the best video posted on YouTube this year. I dare you not to laugh. 🙂
What are you reading or watching right now? Drop me an email, and let me know. The only thing I love more than reading is getting thoughtful recommendations for what I should read next.
