Something I'm Reading:

I’m reading Edge of Collapse by Kyla Stone. I just found it on Kindle and took a chance but I’m really enjoying it. It’s another one you should add to your fiction reading list, especially if you enjoy “post-apocalyptic” books.

Something I Teach:

Have you ever found yourself with dead time, without a phone, for an extended amount of time (driving, in a waiting room, etc)? And during that time, you came up with some amazing ideas, answers to problems you’ve been facing, or something else of great value?  I’m guessing you have. So this is my question to you: if you know this time is valuable, how many hours of this thinking time do you have SCHEDULED this week? This is often my most valuable time (and highest “dollar per hour” task) I do every week - don’t neglect it!

Something Cool I Own:

Just bought the new iPhone 13 for one reason: the cinematic video feature. It’s amazing! Here’s my first video with it (the quality isn’t as great on Vimeo but you get the idea 😉):

Something I Photographed:

Each week I share a photo I snapped in the previous week. Sometimes serious. Sometimes random and funny. Maybe a selfie once in a while. Just because.

Something I'm Excited About:

Open Door Capital Fund 5 launched this week to existing investors! As a loyal BTB subscriber (if you’re accredited), you get early access to invest. You can get more info here. We already have some awesome parks lined up for Fund 5, so I’m PUMPED!💰
