Howdy! 👋
Here are 5 things I wanted to share with you this week.
💭 Kajillionaire
We watched this over the weekend. I’ve loved Miranda July’s movies, but I think this one is her best yet. I wouldn’t want to give too much away about it so I’ll just say… I recommend it. Where to watch.
🗣 IntelligenceSquared Debates
Whenever I run into a topic where it seems like there are extremely polarized views I look for good discussions between intelligent people on both sides. It’s harder than you’d think to find these sorts of discussions these days. The first place I usually search is IntellegenceSquared. They’ve been organizing and moderating debates since 2006.
⚙️ Engineer Guy
If you love learning how things work you’ll love Engineer Guy’s videos. Sadly he’s slowed down his releases over the past few years, but his old videos are worth revisiting. Here are a couple of my favorites:
🪞 Daniel Rozin’s Mirrors
Daniel Rozin is an artist who I think of regularly. He makes art “without a learning curve”. They’re usually some sort of “mirror” of the user.
👨🏻💼 Sam Altman on Sales
All great careers, to some degree, become sales jobs. You have to evangelize your plans to customers, prospective employees, the press, investors, etc. This requires an inspiring vision, strong communication skills, some degree of charisma, and evidence of execution ability.
