Happy Friday Saturday! ☀️
Hello from Berlin where I spent the week for work. It felt nice to be back home after a period of heavy travels. With ForChiefs we sent off two dear colleagues who I will miss and talked strategy for the next wave of our development as a company.
What I’m reading 📖
We’ve all experienced the moment we want to recall a memory but our minds go blank. Turns out it has to do with the storage and retrieval strength of the brain and has been researched quite a bit. Read more.
What I’m listening to 🎧
I took some time to dive back into my new episodes feed and enjoyed this conversation between Lex Fridman and former FBI agent Chris Tarbell who led the investigation and arrest of Ross Ulbricht, head of the darnet marketplace Silk Road. It’s like listening to a thriller audiobook and I love the tangents they go on.
What I’m watching 📺
A book that stuck with me a few years ago is Fleishman Is In Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner. The book got its adaptation for television and star Claire Danes and Jesse Eisenberg amongst others. I look forward to watching it. Here is the trailer.
What I’m thinking about 🧠
Last night, my friend Fiete and I shared some great wine in a fantastic wine bar aptly named ‘Freundschaft’ and reflected on the year and our 10+ year friendship and some good laughs. I missed nights like this.
What else?! 💯
Athena remains one of the most visually appealing feature films this year and a friend pointed me to the Making Of the movie that shows the care and precision work of some of the most striking scenes of the movie. If you haven’t watched it, at least watch the opening sequence. Masterful.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
