Listen here and let me know what you think =>
Nasa joined Giphy this week and as you might expect they have created some fun gifs.
👏 Attention: Tristan Harris spoke to Tim Ferriss recently on Tim’s podcast, it’s a great long listen, you might have to do it in chunks or on a drive but its worth the listen because Tristan breaks down habits, how tech companies are abusing their powers and what we can do to take back control. His Tedx was super popular a couple of years ago.
This week maybe time well spent is seeing the fruits of Tristan Harris’ work, Facebook is testing hiding the like count 👍

🤩 Confidence is a huge part in everyone’s day to day, this quote from James Maddison really stood out for me, believe in yourself.
“I’m confident, yes. I don’t think I’d be in the Premier League right now, getting called up by my country, if I didn’t have the self-belief I do,” he offered. “One of my biggest assets is my mind: that belief in myself and in what I do. But I never, ever want to come across as arrogant." - James Maddison
