🔬 What experiment I ran -
- This happens at least once a week. Dinner plans change. And the backup plan - hamburgers - are still in the freezer. So I decided to experiment with a thawing method that I'm calling the "Conduction Hamburger Sandwich." Worked pretty well.

♦ What transformed a Power Ranger -
- William, aka Brody - the Red Power Ranger on the Nickelodeon show, invited me to chat on his podcast "Will to Win." We talked about how a meat-based diet can transform a person. A transformation not unlike that of the superhuman powers attained when dressed in red.

📧 What I'm struggling with -
- There's "the work." And there's everything that surrounds the work. The trap, the frustration, I find myself falling into is letting the surrounding stuff (that looks like work) override the real work. Emails, social media, messages, meetings, comments, calls. It's easy to feel busy, go-go-go, to look back at the end of an exhausting day to see no
real work got done. As Neil points out in this article, we have to make hard choices. Decisions between quality and quantity. And surrendering the need to make everyone happy.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time."
-Tyler Durden, Fight Club

💻 What report I'm reading -
- Every year Mary Meeker releases a highly-anticipated "Internet Trends" report. It's a monster. Tons of insights into the digital future. But what jumped out at me this year was a thread that weaved throughout the 334 slides - people want to take control of
their relationship with technology. There's this general feeling that the facebook newsfeed, the clickbait news headlines, the always-on, always-connected technology is using us, instead of us using it. Tyler Durden is right.

🏆 What's behind the scenes -
- Behind every victory there's usually an army of unsung heroes, those fighting in the trenches, getting their hands dirty, putting in the work. I want to give a shout out and say thank you to all those doing the work behind the scenes. And a special thank you to my Dad who has played this behind-the-scenes role (as many Dad's gladly play) throughout my life - Happy Fathers
Day to all the Dads out there!
