- I loved this article from The Daily Stoic and in particular this quote from Epictetus:
Find significance within yourself. Within your own sphere of power–that is where you have the greatest consequence.
I like to think that focusing on work that matters to me and discovering significance within myself is exactly what I’m doing and speaking about in my various blogposts. Any form of influence that arises as a by-product is a bonus!

- I didn’t quite get around to watching this yet, but it’s on my to view list: Tech Meets Aristotle: The Art and Craft of Public Speaking
- I thought this article from the Alpha team was pretty insightful, with some decent takeaways for me: Why do Product Managers Fail? Consider following it up with How to be a Great Product Manager, if you’re interested in the subject matter.
Cheers,
