Friday's Five ๐๐ผ #159
Happy Friday's Five,
Hello from Munich where I'm stopping over briefly on my way to Salzburg for the weekend. I had an intense and rewarding week with my clients Bio Company, Cluno and Zalando and am ready for a break.
What I'm reading
Edward is a 12-year old boy and the sole survivor of a plane crash that has killed 191 people including his parents and his older brother. 'Dear Edward', Ann Napolitano's third novel is an incredibly moving coming-of-age story blending loss, grief, depression, friendship, love, and purpose. I loved it and read it over a weekend. Read the New York Times review.
What I'm listening to
One of my podcast highlights last year was our interview with Ragnhild Struss of Struss & Partners, an agency that helps young people in their personal development. With 'Von Innen nach Auรen', Ragnhild now has her own podcast where she talks about her work in personal development. Ragnhild has deep subject matter knowledge and the strength to convey this rich information in a compelling way. For anyone into the topic, I highly recommend it. Find it on Spotify.
What I'm watching
Late to the game and I finally started watching the third season of Ozark and the first episode made me remember why I loved the show right from the start. The acting, writing, tone, and directing are excellent and pulled me in from the first scene. Watch it on Netflix.
What I'm thinking about
"Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that's probably because it's full of shit." โ Fredrik Backman in Anxious People
What else?!
By the age of 21 I had already dropped out from university three times. At that age, even having had the opportunity to go to university is something I took for granted. Katja Urbatsch, the founder and CEO of Arbeiterkind.de was the first in her family to ever go to university and she has made it her work's purpose to support young people in creating the opportunity for them to be the first in their families to attend college. Katja is a remarkable woman with a strong sense of mission and values compass, and I recommend listening to her story in the Role Models Podcast.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
David
