Every fortnightly issue takes a founder communication situation — submitted by a reader — and breaks it down through three lenses: the social script, the inner script, and what to actually say. Plus a pop culture parallel you probably didn't see coming.

Each Newsletter will include: 3 Ideas & 1 Person who has scripted a purposeful life.

I don't know about you but I think I might be addicted to Instagram. In between tasks, I find myself reaching out for the phone to scroll aimlessly. Here are some tips to increase your attention span.
Dr. Peter Attia, the Medical Doctor who amplified his reach (by breaking out of the usual mould) If you've recently heard of the word, "health span" mixed in with longevity talk, it's thanks to Dr. Peter Attia. The Oxford Dictionary defines HEALTH SPAN as the part of a person’s life during which they are generally in good health. After Dr. Peter Attia graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine, he trained at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in general surgery. He subsequently dropped out of his medical residency program to join consulting firm, McKinsey & Company. He followed his passion and created companies focused on preventative medicine education. Today, in addition to Doctor, you can call him a podcaster, author and entrepreneur.
