The More You Know: Edition 5
I created this informal newsletter for my business partners and am now bringing it to curious minds in my network. The More You Know is a curated collection of articles that I 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆 find interesting and insightful during my daily browsing, either as a professional or as a person.
You'll regularly see topics like AI, consumer trends, heath & science, with a perspective from me as an "informed non-expert" 🙂
Hope this series sparks an unexpected "ah-ha" moment for you.

A new study found that weather tweaks brain functions like memory and engagement, meaning brands should adjust marketing strategy accordingly. This checks out for me, personally - I feel more adventurous/open to new things when it's 75 and sunny, versus more apt to cuddle up and seek comfort in the middle of winter. This is intuitive, but the first time I've seen actual brain data to back it up (credit to Neuro-Insight). Link

I'm not surprised to hear this after having great success using AI tools to model different scenarios for my personal finances. I don't think it takes the place of a human financial advisor relationship, but it quickly gave me a starting point and helped me truly understand and ask smart questions during our meeting. (Yes, the AI projections were accurate and actually conservative!) Link

Share with your family and friends! This is important news. Multiple people I love have rheumatoid arthritis and it is absolutely worth preventing, if possible. If you are genetically predisposed to RA, consider early testing! Link
🎬 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Super Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
This wowed me - what a guy. Today is actually his birthday. His grit is inspiring and opens your eyes to the experiences of people with spinal cord injuries. I didn't realize that he also directed and starred in movies post injury! Amazing example of "you are not your disability".
