Was looking for a binge-worthy tv show and enjoying the older 📺 The Blacklist (2013)
Just finished www.momtestbook.com about how to talk to customers to validate business ideas - lots to process and figure out from it but just excellent. I love Rob Fitzpatrick’s books - never too long but always insightful (writeusefulbooks.com was another absolute fav from him this year) 📚
Loving this video from Vox and Jake Blount on the banjo’s connection to early black folk music as well as his own site - a treasure trove of folk music old and new 🎵🪕 jakeblount.com/black-str… youtu.be/wrRfOzhM2…
