News Cart for Jan 17 + Crafting a Perfect Weekly Routine

Hey there!

I’ve got a great round-up this week:  Google plans to kill cookies by 2022, Amazon makes a surprising move toward de-emphasizing their own private label products, Amazon and FedEx improve their relationship and Google purchased who?!?

And if that’s not exciting enough……

Check out this fascinating video about the next chapter in human space exploration.  If you’re still not impressed you have wildly unrealistic expectations you need to work on.

On the podcast edition I also talk about my journey toward crafting the ideal weekly schedule to maximize productivity and fun.  You can listen here.

Hope you enjoy!
