A really close friend of mine left his corporate job at 'Hello Fresh' and started a chef/travel Youtube channel (like an Anthony Bourdain)
I'm really proud of him and he released his this week on food/history in NYC.
Check out the 7 min vid if it's your thing!
And maybe <@U0A3557AUPJ> can share some quick feedback in the comments on how he can improve his Youtube page that everyone can benefit from?

so pumped to have you here <@U0A8SJ21M8S>! I also love to "Nerding out on the biological foundations of personality + emotion". any good books or articles you recommend on that?? I like "The Body Keeps the Score" though its a bit of a tough read

📣 Anyone fundraising right now? 📣
Last call to be included in our bi-monthly email next week!
Every 2 months, I send an email to over 100 investors I know (mostly angels and some funds) about WGM members who are raising.
We've helped people get first checks, find leads and lots of other fun benefits.
If you want to submit, pls fill out !! Or if you know an angel who might wanna be on the list, feel free to send my way!!
p.s.- we also have a <#C07T84DQ3CZ> channel if you're interested 🙂

#personal-wellness - January 14, 2026 at 08:08 PM
Hey! Just got an Oura ring with my wife for X mas to try and get back into full health after baby #2 is getting older. Having trouble finding concrete use cases on how to make the most of it. Here are the ways I'm using it now. Any other ideas on how to maximize value?
• Compare Sleep Scores with Wife (she usually wins)
• Track Zone 2 Heart Rate for Workouts
• Run when picking up kids to get extra workout credit 😂
What am I missing??
#events - January 14, 2026 at 08:02 PM
