Saturday

When you read the news all day, sometimes a newsletter from Friday is read on a Saturday, and sometimes that newsletter is so good you must share, and that's the case today. Sahil Bloom's Friday Five is one of the best newsletters I've read this year; the content and the story selection he puts together are phenomenal! If you make it past Bloom, we have a story about co-working and an introduction to a musician named Hiromi we can't wait to see.

Another mic drop newsletter from Sahil Bloom is in his Friday Five newsletter, which can be read in 3 minutes and implemented about as quickly. He starts with a frighteningly honest question about relationships in your life. Do they help you grow, make you more energized and fulfilled, or make you less lonely? The answer to that question may break your heart, but it won't make it any less true.

Do Hard Things – with Andrew Huberman – Bloom expands on the concept when he writes about embracing friction.

A phone hack that dulls down your phone is something we have now turned on. We deleted social media off the phone years ago, and it acts as an iPod more than anything else. Still, it will be interesting to see if the dull colors reduce the time on it? I think it makes the phone look noir!?

If you only click on one link in this newsletter, click on this one. Also in the Bloom newsletter is the link to this story from Andy Weir. I will research Weir more this weekend; in the meantime, his story, called The Egg, is outstanding. Hint: you are every person you've ever met.

As someone who has launched several businesses in the right markets and had some of those businesses also flop, nothing about the We Work story surprises me. What is surprising is that the co-working markets continue to struggle post-pandemic. I have also been a part of the co-working scene and have used it repeatedly for a decade. Co-working is the perfect bridge between working from home and going into an actual work office.

The Wall Street Journal dove into the markets and the numbers, and one of the possibilities for the slow return to co-working spaces is the glut of Class-A office space available on the market. If a landlord is willing to give top space away, a company can use that space, even if they haven’t mandated full-time back in the office.

The Guardian caught up with the musician and jazz pianist Hiromi in California before she was heading out on a global tour. She has an impressive resume, including a dozen albums and a Grammy, and her music is energetic and original. Putting Hiromi into a category is hard, and she is fine with that.

I have always loved the challenge of changing minds.” - Hiromi.
