Friday's Five 🖐🏼 #82
Happy Friday's Five,
Greetings from the French countryside near Bergerac where I spent a week with my sister and nephews.
What I'm reading
The Good Immigrant US – this is the US version of the book I shared a few weeks back and it's as good as the UK version. Highly recommended! – Goodreads
What I'm listening to
Last week, a small dream came true: I got the chance to interview Sharon Van Etten for The Role Models Podcast and I can't wait to share the episode with you. I've been following (and loving) her work since 2010 and some of her songs have been loyal companions since. The Song Exploder also just recently sat down with her to dissect the song 'Seventeen' of her most recent album, so the timings aligned and here is the episode.
What I'm watching
The Americans – Season 1 & 2 – I had started watching this series a few times and never really got into it. This time it's different and I am hooked. Great plot, great acting, great cinematography. Find it on Netflix.
What I'm thinking about
I've started paying closer attention to the time I spend on screens and was able to decrease screen time by 67% compared to last week. Granted, I am on vacation, and moving the Instagram app the last screen and turning off notification has been a helpful way to curb my "Instaddiction".
What else?!
Our next Role Models event (number #34!) is happening next Tuesday and if you're curious to learn about the entrepreneurial journey of Franziska von Hardenberg, founder of Bloomy Days, Holy Goldy, and Ginger / Bold, join us at the brand-new Google offices. Tickets are available here.
Have a great weekend, and thank you for reading.
David
