1. What I'm eating -
- For 2 decades I've studied and experimented on how food affects the body. But in the last few years I've focused on an additional component - foods impact on the brain. Here's the 1st installment in a new series on "Brain Food."
2. What brain I'm training -
- Not only am I eating Brain Food, but I'm seeing if I can better train my "whole" brain. I am a classic "Left Brainer" - with strengths in things like math, science, language and linear thinking. The "Right Brain" is often thought of as the creative side. It thrives with the arts, music, and takes a more holistic view. In my first practice session - I didn't get off on
the 'right' foot.
3. What unpopular opinion I shared -
- Two very influential people agree that it's important to ever-keep your reputation in mind. I disagree.
4. What quote I've been thinking about -
"The attachment to the ownership of something
is like running with a parachute."
-Kapil Gupta
5. What new purchase I'm loving -
- Best $15 I've spent in a long time.
6. What died -
- Newspapers started dying thanks to the internet. A look at the history and future of news is fascinating. I prefer to get most my news/information from a few newsletters I subscribe to from people I like and trust. But this article opened my eyes to the importance of reinventing local news.
7. What I'm watching -
- I haven't watched a football game this year. Ever since St. Louis lost the Rams the NFL has been dead to me. But I think I'm going to tune in to the Superbowl on Sunday to see what innate emotions arise - will it be love or loathing for the Rams? Plus, I like to see the $5M+ marketing lessons every 30
seconds.
It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you,
hope you have a great weekend!
