AR - The Future View 📱
We have seen a lot of talk around the future, the metaverse, the need to break away from our phones etc but for me, the best way to see the future and experience it is likely for the next 5 years is AR (augment reality layered on top of the real world).

Controversy = Subs Growth 📈
Joe Rogan is the king of vodcasts (video podcasts), Joe was one of those public figures who made huge mistakes in the past but unlike many stood up and took ownership of them. His podcast is the most popular in the world and is insanely popular long-form pods, his recent controversy has apparently helped him to amass a further 2m subs (a $100m Spotify exclusive). What does this say? Controversy sells as does differing opinions which Rogan celebrates.

Why People Are Making Their Own Nations 🏳
First, we had people making their own villages, buying their own islands, then attempting to optimise cities and now many are trying to create their own countries and nations (with their own currency or trading systems). Maybe this is what Elon is doing with Twitter and then Mars.

＂Quote I loved this week＂
One of my favourite interview questions is to ask the difference between what is nice vs what is kind. On one of my favourite recent podcasts Sarah Jones Simmer said:
“Another thing that’s very important to me is kindness, and kindness over niceness. The easiest example I can give is that a kind person will tell you, you have spinach in your teeth and a nice person won’t because it’s uncomfortable, right? But the kind person is going to set you up for a much better rest of your day because you’re not running around with spinach in your teeth.” — Sarah Jones Simmer on The Knowledge Project Podcast
