It’s February (in case you hadn't noticed) Bit of a weird month isn't it? Kinda in-between. We’re all chaotically neutral about it, here at Grounded actually. We kinda care, but we kinda don’t. And what makes it even stranger is that this year we get an extra day!
“Leap days are essential to keep the Earth's trip around the sun to stay synchronous with the planet's seasons.” We have the Romans and the moon to thank for all that stuff).
So on reflection, maybe February isn't that bad after all? Random Acts of Kindness Day is also in February, and so is National Battery Day. Have you ever wondered what happens to your used batteries?
So read on to find out more as well as our usual announcements, essential reading, viewing, research reports and a case study from WhistlePig Whiskey.
So, a curious collection of the weird, random and the ‘unbe-leap-able’ from the Grounded team this month.
Enjoy!

We’re Joining the New Paradigm Coalition - Evolving the Future of Economics
Sounds scary? Well it is a little. Phil White , our Co-Founder, has been invited to join the coalition - a collection of global luminaries and thought leaders focused on how to shift our current economic paradigm to help consciously evolve a world that works better for all. His mug shot is in the gallery, so it must be official (even though he himself admits he has absolutely no right to be there )..but it’s a leap year so he must have kissed a few frogs. That's all we’re saying about it.
