💼 Portfolio Career

Meet Dr. Martin Luther King. The civil rights leader was a reverend, activist. But was he also an economist? I explore in my Fortune piece. 
 

⚡️ Productivity

Consider Feedly. I read all my newsletters via Feedly. You tell Leo, Feedly’s AI engine, what’s important to you and he flags the important insights from everywhere, including news sites, blogs, Twitter, and newsletters.

💰 Money

Consider Flower Foods (FLO). Large packaged bakery foods. Sells buns, rolls, tortillas. Dividend ~3%. People still have to eat during a recession. And everyone likes a good roll, amirite? Check this thesis.

📚 Books

Read Do It For Yourself by Kara Cutruzzula. Whether you’re embarking on a new project or planning your future, understanding what makes you tick is the crucial first step in making things happen.

🎵 Music

Listen to Vienna and The West by Gernot Wolfgang. “I felt that I needed to make an album that reflected the dual internal worlds that I was living in – the present, symbolized by Los Angeles and the wide expanses of the American West, and the past, represented by my previous life in Austria.” Gorgeous album. My favorite tracks:  “Passage to Vienna” & “Windows.”

📽️ Film

Watch The Territory directed by Alex Pritz. When a network of Brazilian farmers seizes a protected area of the Amazon rainforest, a young Indigenous leader and his mentor must fight back in defense of the land and an uncontacted group living deep within the forest.

The book I wrote with my Godfather in 2010. We never loved the title, though. Walk in your own shoes.
