đˇââď¸ What I want to build -Â
- FaceApp is the viral app that uses AI to get a glimpse of yourself in 50 years. But I think it's a glimpse into the future of many products and education. I want to create FitApp. If you're an AI engineer, let me know.

đ§ââď¸ What I'm watching -Â
- I finally got to watch Free Solo. And my hands are still sweating. It's an epic story about chasing an impossible dream. What captured my attention as much as scaling a 3,000 foot wall without a rope is Alex's unique worldview that enables the impossible to become possible.

đ What it takes to focus -Â
- If you're lucky your work requires solving complex problems and generating breakthrough ideas. It takes focus. Paradoxically, this requires a good deal of un-focusing. Research shows that the brain operates best when toggling between intense focus and utter nothingness.

 đ What I'm riding -
- I will be riding the train for 12 hours this weekend. And while I'll be spending some of this time un-focusing, I'll also be un-bookmarking. Because whenever I come across an article I want to read, I bookmark it. Of course, without scheduling time to actually read these, the list just keeps growing. I have 96 articles in my
"to-read" folder. I'm hoping to put a dent in these while on the train and will let you know in next week's newsletter if any good ones pop out. Until then...

It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you,
hope you have a great weekend!
