Something New I Learned This Week That You’ll Find Interesting
 
It takes about 40 minutes for a radio transmission from earth to reach Mars. Also, it will take about 7 months for someone to travel to Mars in a spaceship and they will have to stay there for about 14 months before they can get picked up again. I learned this and a bunch of other cool things from a Brown Bag Lunch session presented by one of the team members of our software development company. 
 ​
 Every few weeks one of us picks a topic and does a presentation over lunch to the team. The topic can be anything, this past week Alex talked about what it will take to colonize Mars.
 ​
 Two take aways: 
 1) while there are some challenges, we’ll probably see someone going to and living on Mars in the next decade. Space X says they are sending someone there in the next three years! 
 ​
 2) The Brown Bag lunch concept is a great vehicle to bring remote teams together. They’ll have some fun and learn some cool stuff. Recommended exercise for your company.

 ​What I’m Reading
 
The Burger King – by Jim McClamore
 
For whatever reason I’ve been reading/listening on tape to the stories of founders of some of the largest food brands in the world. This is a a rags-to-$9-billion-riches story. A crash course in Burger King history and fast food in America, The Burger King is McLamore’s candid and conversational memoir. Written before his death in 1996, he talks of his life, the birth of the whopper, and the rise of Burger King. Best price is here for book or audio >>>

What I’m Watching
 
Cool Under Pressure – The Joe Montana Documentary on Peacock
 
You don’t have to be a sports fan to enjoy this series. Joe didn’t start out as a star quarterback, in fact he was going to quit football a few times in high school and again in college because he wasn’t getting a lot of playing time. Then when he got to the NFL he was questioning himself because he didn’t start the first few years. When it came together, boy did it come together. 

Why I’m recommending it:Lessons learned how having a great significant other can be your “best teammate” along with some other tips that are directly related to running and building a business. Free on the Peacock App.What I’m Writing About for The EDGE’s Print Newsletter
 The difference between setting and hitting your goals and mastering your craft.
 ​
 Here’s to attacking the upcoming week #4 of 2022.
 ​
 Enjoy your weekend!
