Happy Friday! ☀️
After a very good week filled with coaching sessions with my clients Zalando and Zenloop and a leadership workshop with Cowboy I’m about to join our regular ForChiefs Day to develop our next stage of our organization.
What I’m reading 📖
I love a good memoir and Patti Smith’s ‘Just Kids’ is wonderful. Smith excels at painting an image of a life of poor yet optimistic young artists in New York City in the 70ies. Memories of two soul mates, artists, lovers turned friends, set in a defining era of a city they love. It’s one of those books I’ve had on my reading list for years and I’m glad I finally read it.
What I’m listening to 🎧
If you’re a fan of José González you may like Ben Howard who just released his new and fourth album called ‘Collections From the Whiteout’. Key collaborator on this record is Aaron Dessner of the National and his influences shine through. Listen to ‘What a Day’ above or go to the full album.
What I’m watching 📺
Boys State is a documentary that follows 1100 teenage boys attending Boys State in Austin, Texas. The goal is to build a representative government from the ground up, from all different political backgrounds, navigating challenges of organizing political parties, consensus, and campaigning for the highest office at Boys State, Governor of Texas. Watch the trailer.
What I’m thinking about 🧠
Have you ever thought about how you would approach inventing a new pasta shape? Yeah, me neither. Dan Pashman did and designed a new pasta shape from the ground up by using three aptly-named criteria: Sauceability, Forkability, and Toothsinkability 😂 . The result is called Cascatelli, Italian for “waterfalls” and I want. It. Now. Dig in.
What else?! 💯
