Hello my friends,

Happy 4th to those who celebrate.

If you’re in the US, I hope you have an out of office firmly switched on and take full advantage of the long weekend.

Now that this newsletter is safely in your inbox, that’s exactly what I intend to do.

Thanks to those of you who shared last week’s insights with someone. Both subscriber growth and page views reached new heights. I appreciate every click.

Let's get into it.

— Andy

Product

  • Petit Pli is expanding its innovative “clothes that grow” line to include adult wear. Designed to adapt to your body shape, their aim is to reduce environmental impact by maximizing garment lifecycle.

  • Ralph Lauren has designed Team USA’s ceremony uniform since 2008. With another lackluster attempt for Tokyo 2020 here are some proposals on who should take over.

  • “Circularity” is the sustainability buzzword of 2021. This article from 2016 shows how far we still have to go to truly realize a circular economy.

People

  • Most of the interpersonal and professional problems can be explained by a misalignment of values. Mark Manson’s deep dive describes why and how to know who you really are.

  • “Certainty is reassuring; what we know can be better understood, managed, and controlled. But intellectual certainty can limit our creativity.” An outstanding framework on how you and your team should embrace the unknown.

  • A fascinating look at how advances in technology have actually increased, rather than decreased, the number of work hours for the average person. Why you never have any time.

Methods

  • Working hard and working too much are not necessarily analogous. Find something interesting and they can be two sides of the same coin.

  • A wide reaching essay on innovation, failure, and breakthroughs. Although the subject is Bitcoin, it includes principles that can be applied to any field.

  • An introduction to Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). How to find anything on the internet.


Out of Office

Whoop just published a blog post that illustrates how hard athletes are pushing themselves during the Tour de France.

If you wear one of their devices you’ll appreciate the superhuman effort that each stage requires and if you don’t, know that a strain score of 16-18 is a very hard effort. An effort taxing enough that you would afford yourself a day or two of recovery.

Below are EF Pro Cycling’s numbers for the 21 stages of last year’s Tour.

Truly humbling. My dreams of joining the tour are on ice for another year 😂
