This made me laugh. And then it made me sad. So many feelings.
A Bit of Optimism
I am really loving Simon Sinek’s new podcast called A Bit of Optimism. In this episode he speaks with Seth Godin and his wonderful wife Helen Godin on entrepreneurship.
I can also highly recommend this episode with Bob Chapman.

I don’t own a dog. But if I did, I’d buy one of these beautiful dog crates by Fable. Wow.

Yancey Strickler: A Framework for Your Ultimate Self
Loving this talk by former Kickstarter CEO Yancey Strickler. With a simple four-square grid Yancey shifted his entire perspective on decision-making, his sense of self, and his relationship to the world. His concept of “Bentoism”, inspired by the Japanese bento box, is a way of framing your choices with an eye to the future, beyond your own self-interest, and with consideration for your community and the next generation. I’ll definitely be applying this to my life. Grateful.

Obama Speaking Out Against Call-Out Culture
“‘The way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people‘ — that’s not activism. That’s not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get that far.”
“Dadvice”
As someone who was raised by a super nerdy computer dad, I appreciate this YouTube channel: Dad, how do I? A dad teaching things like how to unclog a bathtub, hang a shelf, change a tire etc.
The Need for A Cry
The School of Life is making a case for a good cry.
