Hey there, Shit Givers!
It’s somehow August already, and July was a blur of heat/storm/smoke/tornado warnings in Montreal. Cheers!
If you’re like me, and receive approximately 70,000 emails a day across 4 different inboxes (I have a system, it’s fine, everything’s fine), sometimes content I really wanted to read or listen to slips through the cracks.
So, we decided to put together monthly round-ups of everything we published in the past month, so you can easily find it all in one place.
This month we have a little bit of everything, from the nerdy to the enraging, but also content to help you reframe your thinking on complex problems and, hopefully, inspire you into action.
So, ICYMI: Here’s everything we published in July. Enjoy!
