Quote Of The Week 💬
"Lucky opportunities tend to be stumbled upon, not handed out.
If you're waiting for someone to hand deliver an excellent opportunity to you, it's unlikely to happen. But if you are exploring and moving—if you're in the mix and engaged—then you'll stumble upon many opportunities.
The active mind comes across a lot. Keep tilling the soil and you will occasionally unearth something wonderful."

The Mannings are creating their own little empire post-football, and so far, I’m digging it. The Uncle Drew series is still one of my favorites, but this one is pretty good.

Yvon Choinard, the founder of Patagonia, donated his company to fight the climate crisis. Although it happened a few weeks ago, I thought it was important to share it here — what a baller move. Read more here.
“If we have any hope of a thriving planet – much less a thriving business – 50 years from now, it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have,” said Chouinard in a statement. “This is another way we’ve found to do our part.”

Generative art is something I’ve written about a few times on here, probably more so than any other topic. I’m genuinely thrilled about where this is going, and I continue to be amazed at all the latest advancements in this space. Tyler Hobbs, the creator of the Fidenza and one of the most well-known names in the NFT/Web3 world, helped to create a generative art algorithm and opened it up to the public to use however we want. It’s called QQL, and so far, I’ve created over 400 different outputs and wanted to share some of my favorites below. I’ve had so much fun fine-tuning the different attributes, every single piece is unique no matter how many times you run the algo!

This week flew by — I’m working on a few fun projects right now and starting to plot for the near future. I already posted a James Clear quote above, but this one also hit hard. I hope you all had a great week!
"Many times in life the question is not whether to do one thing or another, but when to emphasize one aspect or another.
Rest or train? Research or write? Diversify or concentrate?
Opposite answers can both be right. The question is which one is the right answer for right now."
