What I’m listening to: Remedy by Adele Saturday. Isn’t there something so satisfying, so decadent about waking up on a Saturday and knowing you have the entire day to do what you want? Or do nothing if you want — that’s always my goal. So why would I be giving you a business-boosting strategy on…

What I’m listening to: Photograph by Ed Sheeran I don’t usually comment on the videos I link to (and maybe you never realized I’ve been linking to videos all these years), but the one above is worth a look. It was somewhere around 14 seconds in when I realized who the baby in the video…
