Chunking Express
Fargo - Seasons 1-3 - I'd put this show in my top 5 of all time - it's superb. Do yourself a favor and watch Season 2 first, because it's actually a prequel to Season 1 and my favorite of the series. The acting, art direction, cinematography, soundtrack, dialogue, etc. is just so good.

RN - Richard Nixon's Autobiography - I enjoy reading about people in power during critical junctions in history, but only after they've had time to be digested by history. Love or hate him, he was probably one of the most intelligent Presidents the US ever had and it comes across in his writing and assessments of world events. His downfall was his willingness to do anything to win (Watergrate) after having lost so many times during his life. He's the bullied kid who becomes a bully himself.

Rick Rubin's Tetragrammaton Podcast - The interviews are deep, insightful and peel back the curtain on people. I especially loved these episodes:
- Chris Pine - comes off like a regular dude just trying to figure out life.
- Edward Norton - his story about the premiere of Fight Club is wild and his theory about Last Tango In Paris being Marlon Brando's swan song is fascinating.
- Trent Reznor - Went deep and pulled no punches.
- Judd Apatow - has awesome BTS stories of comedy and filmmaking.

Chris Pine's Big Lebowski-esq, Laidback 70's California Style has really inspired me, so I'm going to lean into it this summer.
Still finessing and getting user feedback about the webapp I launched earlier this year. Sales are strong, rolling out to more users and will start tweaking based on feedback from the first 1k users.
- Will be stepping back from the company in June and only have 1 meeting a month with the team.
Slowly circling the topic of what my next moves will be regarding income generation, where I'll be living and my health. I'm hoping to devise a plan for the next 1-2 and 10-20 years. It could go a few ways - beach/surfer life, east coast, somewhere foreign?
