🗽 Fresh Finds 🗽

#1 🦑 Squid Game: The Experience

I had the chance to try out the Squid Game experience—it was actually pretty fun!

Takes about ~60 min to complete. Good with friends or with a date. Check it out.

#2 👜 Louis Vuitton x Murakami Pop-Up

Step into the Louis Vuitton x Murakami pop-up store in Soho, London. The space reveals full product offerings and archival pieces from the original collection, a vending machine with collectible gifts, a 'care and repair' station, and a café offering delicate baked goods and drinks in specially printed cups and napkins with exclusive designs. Check it out.

#3 🛩️ The Squadron

An immersive game that doubles as a team-building exercise. I’d choose this over any team-building workshop, any day of the week. Check it out!

🏆 Top Tweets 🏆

I sift through the noise so you don’t have to. These 3 tweets deserve your attention.

#1 🏆

These guys (@techbrospod) have been blowing up lately. It’s a masterclass in social media and content marketing.

Their latest idea: A new show where they lock a team of founders in a room until they hit $1M ARR. All they get is caffeine, nicotine, and food.

Not sure how practical this is—but I’m hooked!

#2 🏆

An idea to prevent catfishing: Community Notes for Tinder. 🤣

#3 🏆

Will there come a time when the majority of internet activity is driven by AI bots? The so-called Dead Internet Theory is a frightening reality.

I’m curious—what did you think of today’s edition? Hit ‘reply’ and share your feedback—I’d love to hear it!
