Welcome to Week 14!

Hey there! I’m always learning new things and this week has useful lessons in every link:

  1. The Psychology of Founders Who Win in Downturns 💡 - I read this article back in April via the AngelList newsletter. It seemed appropriate at the time, and it’s always good to prepare for challenging times in business.
  2. How to Become an Exceptional Engineering Leader - AMA with Gautam Prabhu, VP Engineering at PagerDuty 🎤 - This is a great interview that covers Gautam’s career path from individual contributor to leader. He shares his thoughts and experiences on hiring and effective management.
  3. Self Mastery: Solo BJJ Training Drills by John Danaher 🥋 - This course was filmed and released for free back in March. I learned a lot of useful terminology and skills from it, and even created my own home routine heavily based on the content. It is still free and recommended; fair warning that the store sends promotion emails several times a day. 😄
  4. What Is DNS? | How DNS Works 📇 - The Domain Name System is an important component of the internet, and I think it’s important to know a little about how it works, regardless if you are technical or not. I wanted to find a good article that explains how it works, and ended up learning more details from this one!
  5. Is Your Digestive System Working Properly? 🥗 - This article goes over the many stages of digestion, and offers practical advice for evaluation and improvement. Even simply chewing your food more can make a big difference.

Any questions or comments? Suggestions? Let me know! Thanks for reading and see you next week!
