What's
Inside

01🚀

Opportunities

Grants, programs, calls for submissions, open doors. We find them so you don't have to pretend you were looking all along.

02🗳️

A Touch of Politics

Just enough to be informed. Not enough to ruin your weekend. We translate the nonsense into something useful at dinner.

03🌍

World Happenings

What's going on out there — the stuff that matters, from places you maybe hadn't thought about in a minute.

04💼

Job Postings

Curated, not scraped. Roles worth your time. We read the descriptions so you can skip straight to the good ones.

05🏷️

Deals

Software, tools, experiences. The actually useful kind. Not another meal kit. Not another VPN. We mean it.

06🎙️

Stories & Interviews

People doing interesting things. Real conversations. The content you read for 20 minutes instead of the spreadsheet.

The Bag of Fuzzy Peaches Got StuckAgain in the vending machine, and Other Updates from the Week

Good afternoon. It is 3pm on a Friday and you have made it. Not gracefully — there were at least two Slack messages you let sit, one meeting you nodded through with your camera off, and a lunch situation that was fine, it was just, fine. But here you are. Technically present. Marginally employed. Congrats Pal!

"The interesting thing about an opportunity is that it only needs to be 60% good for it to be worth pursuing."

This week: a $50K grant for small creative businesses just opened (deadline March 15th — we're telling you now so you actually have time), a senior PM role at a company that appears to have their act together, a deal on software half of you are paying full price for, and we interviewed a woman who quit her finance job to run a competitive axe-throwing league and is, somehow, profitable.

On the political front: the thing happened, someone said a thing about it, and here's the relevant part minus 15 minutes of your life you weren't going to get back anyway. A coup? Not quite. A vibe? Absolutely. We explain.
