🎙️ 1. New Podcast - “biz update, book proposal, plateauing, ai-proof skills - rich diary 001”​

​

Got a fun one this week - I’m trying something new!

New podcast format - a business + life update from me.

Among other things, i discuss:

• Latest updates on my business
• What content stuff i'm up to
• Book proposal i've been working on
• Hitting plateaus in life and business
• Building ai-proof skills

PLEASE! let me know what you think and if there's anything you'd like to hear me talk about.

If these resonate i'll keep doing them weekly.

​You can watch the YouTube (video) version here.​

​Or take me on the go with the Spotify (audio) version.​

🤑 2. What Would You Do With A Billion Dollars? - Substack by Kevin Kelly​

When people ask Kevin Kelly for live advice, he gives them this prompt:

What you realize pretty quickly is you can satisfy all your material wants before the billion runs out.

Once that’s done, you’re left with the REAL question:

What do I want to do?

As he points out: “The point of my exercise is that most people’s dreams are not gated by money.”

​Read on for his thoughts on what to do about it.

(It’s a short read.)

👹 3. My Ongoing Interest In Hieronymus Bosch Themed Content

I've always been drawn to the Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch.

I had a poster of it in my room for many years and it’s just something I always come back to.

The reason I’m telling you this is I’ve recently been enjoying some Garden-themed art and it’s been an interesting rabbit hole.

First, this video game set in the world of the painting:

​

The trailer looks super cool, hopefully it can live up to the premise.

Second, I’m currently re-reading the book Hollow by B. Catling.

Amazon describes it as, “An epic odyssey following a group of mercenaries hired to deliver a church's ultimate power-a sacred oracle-as the decadence of carnival gives way to the gravity of lent and the mystic landscape grows ravenous - all set within a Bosch painting.”

Worth checking out if that sounds interesting to you.
