Friday's Five 🖐🏼 #77
Happy Friday's Five...
... and happy International Women's Day, which–for the first time ever–is now a public holiday here in Berlin. This week was all about WE ALL, a campaign by ESPRIT and UN Women that I had the chance to be a part of. 100% of the proceeds of the T-Shirt sales go to UN Women who support the economic advancement of women. Have a look if you're interested and open to support: esprit.de/unwomen
What I'm reading
Who Killed Tulum – The Cut
What I'm listening to
New month, new playlist. Here is my month in music February and if you want to follow along my month in music March, here is the link.
One of the most influential and important women in the European startup and tech ecosystem was our guest on stage to record an episode of The Role Models Podcast in front of a live audience. This conversation with Reshma Sohoni is packed with energy and optimism, useful advice for founders, and a good dose of humor. Listen to it on rolemodels.co/podcast
Rosanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter and she is as talented (if not more) a singer-songwriter as her dad. I spent last weekend exploring her discography and then listened to this conversation on the Broken Record Podcast. She's now my dream guest for The Role Models Podcast.
What I'm watching
Coldplay: A Head Full Of Dreams – watched it again because it's that good – Amazon Prime
What I'm thinking about
Pragmatism doesn't fulfill dreams.
What else?!
Last week, I shared the book “The Good Immigrant”, a series of essays compiled and edited by Nikesh Shukla. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, it’s eye-opening and it’s an important book that I think everybody should read. So here’s what I’m doing about it:
I will send you a copy for free under one condition: you promise to read it within 2 weeks of receiving it (don‘t worry, it‘s not long) and then gift it to a friend who then also reads it within 2 weeks of receiving it.
If you can promise me that, send me your name and mailing address and I will send it to the first 5 Friday‘s Five readers who respond to this email (please be patient since I‘ll get the books from my local book store and will then post it to you, old school style).
Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!
