Happy Friday! ☀️
Ending the week energized by the full-day workshops I had with my clients Humanoo, Zalando, and TLGG.
What I’m reading 📖
Matze recommended that I pick up Derek Sivers’ books ‘All I Want’ and ‘How to Live’. Derek Sivers is an entrepreneur who is know for distilling his learnings into very (very!) short thoughts that are often provoking. Derek also shares short summaries of the books he read, super useful!
What I’m listening to 🎧
A few years ago the band Fink released an iPad app with featuring a live concert recorded with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. I love when bands team up with symphonic orchestras and listened to the album on repeat. Fink are now back with a new album, a stripped down version of some of their best tracks plus a few new ones.
What I’m watching 📺
‘The Chair’ on Netflix was a treat. Sandra Oh plays a professor who gets appointed to chair the English department at a University in crisis. On the almost comedic surface, she finds herself navigating interpersonal struggles but underneath the surface, some deeper issues like cancel culture and free speech take a prominent role in the first season. Watch the trailer.
What I’m thinking about 🧠
“The first follower is actually an underestimated form of leadership in itself. The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader.” – Derek Sivers
What else?! 💯
Isa and I sat down with Spotify’s Head of Studios for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland Saruul Krause-Jentsch. Saruul is responsible for podcasting at Spotify and loves her job. We speak about podcasting in general and what stood out for me is Saruul’s energy, how she overcame a professional failure and found a role and job that she truly loves. Listen to the Role Models episode here.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
