🎧 Vox Media’s Pivot Podcast

Twice a week this is my “walk my dog after work” podcast. Tech journalist Kara Swisher and NYU Professor Scott Galloway dive into all the big headlines in tech, pop culture, business, and politics. Listen in, too, but fair warning that the hosts can get a little spicy.

🦍 Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow

I heard about (the late and great) Danny Kahneman on Dax Shepherd’s Armchair Expert podcast and have since devoured several more interviews with him. Kahneman breaks down the human mind to help explain our decision-making process. I’ve just started reading Thinking Fast and Slow, and so far, I have loved learning more about focus and the ‘Invisible Gorilla’ theory. 

👀 Social Media, Marketing, and AI Newsletters

Too many to count! Some of my favorite weekly emails come from Future Social, Link in Bio, Daily Carnage, The Neuron, and TLDR Marketing / TLDR AI.
