How To Be Successful, Waking Up & Giant Great White Sharks

I hope you're having a great week! Here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:

Articles I'm Reading:

• How To Be Successful - Sam Altman - This piece has being doing the rounds all week, for good reason. Sam is currently President of Y Combinator (the startup accelerator). Some of my favourite principles: "Make it easy to take risks" and "Have almost too much self-belief".
• A coalition of giant brands is about to change how we shop forever, with a new zero-waste platform - Fast Company - This is very exciting. While some of the benefit of moving towards zero waste is counteracted by shipping required by this system, I think it has the potential to drive a lot more consumer change, a lot quicker.
• Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: The Rolling Stone Interview - I enjoyed this interview of Jack Dorsey, who currently runs two billion-dollar companies. Here's the counter piece.
• Ocean conservationists swim with giant great white - This video (and photos) of an encounter with a huge great white off Hawaii are crazy.

Product I'm Using:Waking Up App - Sam Harris
I've used various meditation apps over the years, with Oak being my current favourite (it's also free). The last few weeks, I've been enjoying Sam Harris's new app, which has a little more variety than Oak, and has a nice progression (small monthly fee).

Have a great week!
