Hey there, This week, I'm sharing a quick recap of my favorite lessons, reads, and shares of the month. We'll be back to the usual articles next week. To be honest, March wasn’t my favorite month.

When people talk about the challenges of working from home, they focus on productivity, isolation, or work-life balance. But there is one critical factor that gets overlooked: your health. Specifically, vitamin deficiencies. WFH changes how you eat, move, and get sunlight exposure, and those changes can have real consequences.

Every day, there’s a new tool, a new update, a new headline about how AI is going to take all our jobs. And honestly? Most of it isn’t useful. I don’t believe AI is something to fear, instead it’s something to use intentionally to work smarter and build the future we actually want (with Human Ambition at the forefront). I don’t need another hype cycle or another...

Hey there, I've heard from a few people who’d love to join the Work Forward Society but are looking for a lower-tier option.

Before moving forward, I want to gauge interest. Would this be something you'd be interested in? Let me know! Are you interested in a Slack-only community option? Yes, I'm interested!

Hot take: Relying on a 40+ hour workweek is lazy management. For decades, we’ve clung to the idea that hours worked equals productivity.
