Hello Familia - Welcome to Vol. 20 of Move Fast, Think Slow. If you missed last week’s dispatch you can view it here. We covered Stoicism & Mantras, Rick Rubin, and more fun. If you’re not new here, scroll on down.
If you are new here is a little bit about Move Fast, Think Slow. The purpose of MF/TS is to surface cultural and/or business trends. MF/TS is also focused on musings on stoicism and philosophy. Hence the name. If you want to dig through the archives, the most popular MF/TS post was a book review on Revolt of the Public, and last year’s deep-dive on media theory and brand Americana. Both are deep dives.
A goal in 2023 is to strike more of a balance between deep editorial-driven dispatches with more quick-hitting newsletters sprinkled with intel, LOLs, pro-tips, and visual inspo for the week. And with that, enjoy vol. 20 of MF/TS.
