Hello everyone, I missed you! 💜
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been traveling to and exploring NYC (for the first time!). I decided to take a quick break since I don’t usually write in advance and didn’t want to deliver smth rushed and half-baked. Anyway, after hundreds of thousands of steps, a Madonna show, and hours, and hours of flying - I’m back (even if still a bit jetlagged)! And I will make a promise to be better prepared next time I’m going somewhere 🤞
Without further ado - this week's selection includes a newsletter on money and psychology (with complimentary drawings), weekly art curation, deep dives on category creation, and much more. Let’s dig in!
⚡ Spotlight
Young Money by Jack Raines
I found this newsletter as a recommendation while scrolling through Twitter. Usually, these end up at the end of my long list, to be checked when the time comes. But not this one!
I wanted to see what is it about and got hooked on the goofy drawings (I’m clearly a sucker for sticky figures). Long story short, Young Money landed in my personal email address and I already read like 10 issues 🤭
The author Jack Raines is passionate about making and managing money. His engaging writing style and unique drawings will give you some perspective on topics like market inefficiencies, chasing your dreams, and money management, offering you tips, tricks, and valuable insights along the way.
