Friday's Five 🖐🏼 #165
Happy Friday's Five,
two meaningful days with my Partners at ForChiefs, two rewarding days with my client Bio Company, and a fun confetti day today.
What I'm reading
Anne Beaumanoir was born in 1923 in the Bretagne and from a young age became a personification of resistance. She joined the communist Résistance and saved two Jewsih children during the Second World War. Written like what feels like a long form poem, the book 'Annette, ein Heldinnenepos' by Anne Weber tells the story of a real woman, her life, and what it means to Resist. More about the book.
What I'm listening to
Of course I am biased here because Matze is a dear friend. Yet his interview with Campino, the singer of the band Die Toten Hosen is a masterclass in podcast interviews. Matze is on point, curious, and deeply connected with Campino who shares openly, self-reflected, and honestly. Listen to them here.
What I'm watching
In season 4 of The Crown on Netflix, two characters emerge who dominate the season: Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher. The show overall is fantastic and so well done (I read somewhere that one episode costs $25 million and it shows!) and this season is particularly good because of these two new characters and the many tensions that flow above and underneath the surface of the royal family. Watch the trailer for season 4 here.
What I'm thinking about
I'm on day 3 of a 7-day water fast so I have been thinking–rather feeling–a lot about how my body reacts to it. I'll admit that I have moments where I can't stop thinking of food and what to eat when I break my fast in 4 days but I'm determined to experience it until the end and assess what it did with me.
What else?!
Met a friend last Sunday who bought a plot of land outside of Berlin and she's considering to build a pre-fab house designed by Philippe Starck in collaboration with Riko. And wow, this looks amazing. Check it out.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
David
