The Friday Thing #869

The Friday Thing #869

Back from a few days working in LA. Lots of ideas, lots of progress. Lots of vitamin D. ??


The Friday Thing 869 is about friendship.

I received some great doses of friendship this week. Meetings friends at USC to brainstorm ideas as well as meeting a friend from my days at Loughborough University while in LA to talk about life, careers and family. We met over 30 years ago and though I see him rarely, it was a great reminder of the power of friendship. You just pick up where you left off. We all know that feeling. It reminded me that I need to do it more often and consider where to invest energy.

Coincidentally, I stumbled across this conversation between Simon Sinek and Trevor Noah on the topic of friendship. It left me with lots to think about...

I love the notion Trevor shares about "the truffle pig of ideas". Brilliant.

And now I am off to meet a friend of mine to congratulate him on the beautiful new book he just published. A perfect end to a very good week.


Music for this week is Moby with Anfisa Letygo - You & Me.

Happy Friday

Having just moved back to the UK after 20 years away, am knee deep in reconnections and truly loving how many of them pick right back up so naturally with fun, meaning and support. ??
