Gimme Five 🖐️
In the footsteps of Tim Ferris’ 5-bullet Friday. Five nuggets that I’ve stumbled upon recently that could be helpful for you or someone you love. Ooooow-yeah!
🎶 CHUNES I’M DIGGING
Reuben & The Dark, if not already the most dangerously good looking man alive his voice soothed and serenaded an entire room of an old school house as a few friends sat in breathing room of his italian leather moccasins last weekend at a small festival Tiny Lights.
Being under the weather this week I spent a fair few hours horizontal under a big tree listening to the depths of Reuben & The Dark and my appreciation only grew stronger.
Highly recommend.
538st, with smooth hitting vocal tones like Anderson-Paak and style straight from the depths of LA, 538st stood out on their last tour through Nelson. Staying well under the radar with their top song (Nike Headband) reaching 63k total listens on spotify they are one to watch… ahhh er, listen to?!
🗣️ QUOTE IM PONDERING
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
The back story here is I use NewsFeedEradicator, a chrome extension. It blocks my feeds so that I get stuck doom-strolling less often. Most quotes don’t hit the spot, this one was relevant to a conversation this week and got me thinking.
🦵 MOVEMENT I’M LEARNING ABOUT [PAIN ACADEMY]
Pain Academy works to help people move better and feel better. Targeted at those with chronic (ongoing) injury, pain, and wanting to get life back on track.
The story is, wonderful strangers come together at Sofar sounds to listen to chunes in unique spaces. I’d taken myself out to an event when I was in Vancouver, and it was a great excuse to flex some self-love. 💪
We quickly got chatting International School living, adventure sports and injuries, and I was led to the pain academy by this wonderful stranger. After losing track of how many years I’ve been living with some form of chronic pain (13?) and adding to it last year with my ankle injury, I’ve tried a fair few things and adding this to the arsenal.
📽️ VISUAL CONTENT I’M DIGGING
How To Change Your Mind, This series dives into psychedelics and their potential for mental health and personal growth. With educational insights, expert opinions, and powerful stories, it’s visually stunning and opens up new conversations about treatments for depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Highly recommend!
🛠️ TOOL I FOUND
Consensus is a nifty AI-powered research tool that pulls together and analyzes info from all over to find common ground on any given topic. It helps pinpoint the main opinions or findings from various sources, giving you a clearer, more well-rounded grasp of the subject. Consensus replaces Google and can give more informed responses than ChatGpt. Give it a shot!
Thanks for dropping by and I snapped my last two film photos yesterday so could 🤞🏻 have some more pics soon, HOWEVER, it looks like the lens on the camera is cracked so my expectations are low…
We
Shall
See
Be joyous, love yourself, and keep nurturing your dreams,
Much love,
Marlon
