This week's newsletter was made possible by Morning Brew.
Morning Brew shares insightful business news that's fun to read and will get you up-to-date with everything going on in the business world in less than 5 minutes. I personally read it every morning to start my day!
š Hey everyone,
Here are a few popular posts you may have missed:
š Content Gems:
The book Iāve been reading this week is called āThe Secret Life of Groceriesā. Itās been interesting diving into the grocery industry, but I donāt think thereās a ton of actionable life advice to take away from it soā¦
Iām trying something new.
In addition to books, I love consuming educational podcasts and YouTube videos. So this week I wanted to share the 5 BEST pieces of content Iāve recently found. Enjoy!

Tim rarely does podcasts so when I saw this I was surprised. He dives into how he runs his podcast, the pros & cons of fame, his take on the podcast industry, and more.
Itās a great video for content creators, especially those with a podcast or who want to start one in the near future.

Alex is a master at taking complex ideas and simplifying themālike how to build a brand.
Heās built and sold several businesses so he has tons of real-world examples and gives actionable advice instead of business theories/platitudes.
He covers how he built his gym brand, how to avoid negative perceptions of your brand, how to grow a small business, the eight ways to get customers, and much more.
A must-watch for anyone with a business.

Iām calling it now, the next BIG health trend will be glucose monitoring.
Jessie is a French biochemist who studies the importance of balancing one's blood sugar for optimal health.
Youāll be shocked to learn how spiking your blood sugar can alter your mood, energy, and even lifespan.
Sheās a great follow on Instagram (@glucosegoddess) and I just got her book āGlucose Revolutionā.

You might know Rob Dyrdek from that MTV comedy show and think heās just an old skateboarder dude (thatās what I used to think), but heās actually a business genius.
He invested the $15 million he made from TV into several business ventures and is now worth $350+ million and is on track to become a billionaire in the next decade or so.
Listen to learn how he plays the game of business, how he sold his media company for hundreds of millions, how he optimizes his life, and more.
Also, watch his first episode with MFM if you havenāt already.

If youāve seen a viral video on social media about sex chocolate recently, Oliver is the guy behind it.
Heās the creator of Tabs and itās on track to do $10+ million this year. And the craziest partā¦Oliver is only 21 years old.
He explains how he got into the sex chocolate market, his genius TikTok marketing strategy, why you want a luxury product, mistakes heās made on his entrepreneurial journey, and much more.
If youāre a young entrepreneur, have a product in the e-commerce space, or want to learn how to better promote your product, this video is filled with gems.
