Zero Waste, Electric Planes, Jeff Bezos, SpyGuy & Ride or Die
I spent the last week in LA with some friends (they're building FightCamp, which is awesome), and I definitely get why people love California. Heading back to -15C weather in Montreal doesn't seem so appealing now.
Anyway, here are some things I've been checking out and working on the last week:
Blog Post I Wrote:Zero Waste: What Is It?
A topic I've become passionate about, this article explains what "zero waste" really is, and why it's so important. I'll be following up with more posts about this.
What I'm Reading:
- California startup converts Cessna plane to electric - It's going to be a while before we see electric airliners, but it's coming. Applications like this will be the start.
- No thank you, Mr. Pecker - Jeff Bezos - This post was making the rounds last week. If you haven't read it, it's Jeff Bezos' (founder of Amazon) reply to attempted extortion over some personal photos. Many who often criticize Amazon and Bezos applauded the move.
Book Notes I Added:
- The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin - A follow-up to Extreme Ownership with some further clarification. I'd just read Extreme Ownership.
- This Is Marketing by Seth Godin - A collection of thoughts from Seth Godin on what modern marketing is. A good introduction to his work, though probably not his best.
Podcast I'm Listening To:Real 4-Hour Workweek Case Studies — Allen Walton and SpyGuy, The Path to Seven Figures
This kind of business is why I was so interested in the 4-Hour Workweek in the first place, and I've been getting back into thinking about ecommerce a little more deeply lately.
Song I'm Listening To: Foster the People - Ride or Die
This has been my uplifting-put-on-repeat-while-working song all week.
Have a great week!
Graham
