Hey friends,
I’ve been experimenting with adding shiny objects to the end of my regular weekly Extra Focus newsletter for the past few months. Just sort of a fun bonus for paid subscribers that incentivizes paid subscribers. (Thank you to all current subscribers!)
I love trying out new things so I thought I would try sending out a larger Shiny Objects as a standalone post with a more thorough coverage of cool things I’ve enjoyed it found interesting lately.
In this issue, I’m sharing some articles, books I’ve been ready lately, and some inspiring/interesting videos. (Some of these are visible for paid subscribers only)
Happy Sunday!
