What I'm Watching: "Formula 1: Drive to Survive"

This is one of the best documentary series on team development I've ever watched. I also recommend "Being Liverpool," a great documentary about Liverpool Football Club's drive toward the English Premier League Championship.

What I'm Thinking About - How "Unlimited Vacation," is Actually a Bad Concept

I've been a fan of low-control concepts like flexible work schedules and unlimited time off for many years, but recently I've been thinking that some of these things are actually deteriorating both the workplace and the workforce. Here's an interesting article that I'm pondering. 

Interesting Study: "The Long Term Effect of COVID 19 on workplace productivity"

Maverick Crush - Pete Koch  

Pete Koch is 59 years old and walks around with his shirt off most of the time. The former NFL Player and actor has recently reinvented himself as the poster boy for fitness over 50. I want to be like him in 10 years. 

Thanks For Reading
