💁♀️ What's tips I got -
- I got to have the carnivorous StrongSistas, Ash and Sarah, on the podcast this week (releasing in the next couple weeks with the "Carnivore and Carbs" article I've been writing for months). They are social media queens that blend health education and entertainment in masterful fashion. And they were kind enough to give me some tips on stepping up my social media game.
Feeling inspired after our chat, I posted up my favorite ab exercise (which I put in my instagram stories and thus it disappeared, so I can't link to it here, but will re-post in the future, so be sure to follow :) I also posted up what I consider the overall most important exercise.

🍟 What's on my "to-watch" list -
- Supersize Me 2 is out. The premise of the movie is to answer the question: "has fast food gotten healthier?" Spoiler alert: no. But they are doing a better job of pretending they are. Fast food isn't getting healthier. And adding fake-meat to the menu isn't changing
that.

🎶 What startup I'm reading about -
- I like to keep an eye on the music industry. It has been massively disrupted by streaming services, which has had the consequence of the value-creators (the artists) not reaping much of the rewards. Audius is a new streaming platform that uses blockchain technology to issue crypto tokens to incentivize users and pay artists. They have mountain-sized obstacles to overcome, but the $5.5 million they raised this week will at least get that journey started.

😖 What pet peeve is worse -
- Since the StrongSistas got me tuned-in to social media, I noticed #MyTextingPetPeeves was trending on Twitter. So I chimed in. But what I think is far worse than my "texting pet peeve" is the reverse which can be the ultimate time wasters.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"Start now. Optimize later."
|
⚠ What rivalry is intensifying -
- Niall Ferguson wrote a fascinating piece on the US-China rivalry, what he calls the "Second Cold War." He believes this war is going to be fought with digital cryptocurrencies and that China has a big head start. Ultimately I don't think China nor the US is going to win this one, rather I think a stateless currency will emerge victorious. Separation of money
and state is a crazy concept.
|
💑 What saves relationships -
- I read a good article this week called The silent relationship killer. I give the author credit - it's a catchy title - but I like to end on a positive note. So I'm going to rephrased it as the "secret relationship saver." Also, although this article is about marriage, it doesn't take too much to see this applies to all kinds of relationships. So it
seems appropriate here to say Thank You for letting me spend some time with you on Saturdays.

Hope you have a great weekend!
