Extra Focus: Shiny Objects
Things that have grabbed my attention lately, including...
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!
