Issue #10! It’s turkey week! 🦃 We’re a little sad not to be spending it with family in the US, but didn’t want to deal with the flight situation in the US this week. We’re spending the week in Oaxaca instead to celebrate Jay’s birthday (we’re based in Mexico City right now so it’s just a short 1 hour flight away). As you receive this in your inbox, we’ll be learning traditional Oaxacan cooking, and sampling moles and mezcal! 🌵

Here’s wishing that your flights are always on time this week, and that you have drama-free holiday gatherings 🤞❤️

  • 💆‍♀️ Surviving the holiday season with your mental health intact

A DEEPER DIVE: A GLIMPSE INTO AN AI FUTURE

Wellness 🏅

A Therapist’s Guide to Surviving Thanksgiving Family Drama. Holidays are not easy, especially when you have family members who don’t respect boundaries or have polarizing political views. Remember - you can’t choose how other people behave, but you can choose how you cope and the steps you can take to protect your mental health

Gordon Ramsay shares his Thanksgiving recipe guide

If you’d prefer a vegan meal, here’s a five-course vegan thanksgiving meal from Nisha Vohra, the creator of rainbow plant life

The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons learned from 15 years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company by Bob Iger. Iger's back as CEO of Disney less than a year into his retirement, after the Board booted his hand-picked replacement (Bob Chapek). This book is set just as Bob Iger is thinking of retiring, and he shares the journey that led him to Disney and the principles necessary for leadership. Disney grew 5x under Iger's leadership, and it looks like the market is in favour of Iger's return with Disney stock climbing 6.30% yesterday when the news was announced.
