Candidate,
How was your week?
Please reply to me and rate your week on a scale of 1-10. Oh god, now I'm going to have 10,000 emails in my inbox with a random number in them.
Some good reads for your weekend:
The freedom from $3 questions, the freedom from location, and the freedom from expectations. The Ladder of Freedom.
Clever way that police in Mumbai are experimenting with reducing honking.
An absolutely fascinating look at how anti-vax sentiment took hold in the United States.
Do you think personal finance should be taught in high schools? You might be surprised. (Education alone is overrated in changing behavior.)

Beautiful story of University of Tennessee responding when a young fan was bullied.
One of my favorite things is learning about new kinds of businesses I've never heard of — even if they're not something I would ever use. Some recent finds: Playroom consultants, houseplant stylists, and experts to help you downsize your house. There are business ideas everywhere.
Talk to you on Monday!
