Check out Snap One (Ticker: SNPO) which recently had its IPO. It provides smart living products to do-it-for-me professional integrators. The chap who comes over to plug in the TV, connect the Alexa, and install the security camera may be using Snap One. The firm is profitable and experienced with M&A so it can grow both organically and by acquisition.

🎵 Music

Listen to Threshold, my debut pop EP of four songs. This is a new artistic direction for me. These songs will make you dance. They’re about finding love or self-identity. Fun collaborations with great artists like Manu Manzo, Danay Suarez, Caliph, Thana Alexa, Emilio Solla, and more!

📚 Books
Read Thread of Love by my mother Surishtha Sehgal and me. The book is a about the Indian festival of Raksha Bandhan – a celebration of siblings. I messed up and should have suggested this book last week. Last Sunday, my sister tied a thread bracelet on my left wrist. Then my mother told us it was supposed to be on my right one, so we re-tied it. We trimmed the tassel so it doesn’t interfere with my guitar strumming. I gave my sister three greeting cards (lucky her!). We ate laddoos, drank chai, and sang “Thread of Love” (yes, our book has lyrics). Listen to and watch the finger puppet video here.
