Wishing everyone a joyful Fourth of July weekend! It’s a wonderful time to celebrate as Americans. While we may hear complaints about our country, it undoubtedly excels amidst any alternatives. Although not flawless, when it comes to a democratic and entrepreneurial society, there is no better nation. Let’s put aside sensationalized news and genuinely contemplate if we desire to live elsewhere. By the way, here’s a photo of Sophia and me enjoying some delightful ice cream from Jeni’s in Carlsbad last night. Sophia always finds it amusing to poke her finger in my tooth hole. ???
Enjoy the reads and listens!

Something I have been battling constantly is the ability to take good notes. I am going to dive deeper on me being a notebook guy in a post in the not to distant future.
This was the pod that got me back on my Tim Ferris kick… Great hearing these two life hackers talk about all things learning, health, investing, and data.
Really cool pod with Howie talking to Jenn Fielding- the founder of Everywhere Ventures. Jenny has a pretty cool fund idea and has built a huge network of operator investors and partners.
