How are you staying active while many gyms are still closed?
My wife (@ncmerde) and I (@thereadiness) are posting short partner workouts to Instagram. Motivating and challenging each other to keep moving!
What is your favorite podcast?
Throughline (NPR): deep dive into timely topics and great long-form journalism
Left, Right and Center (KCRW): civilized, yet provocative with debate from all sides from the political spectrum.
What is your favorite book?
GRIT by Angela Duckworth: My latest and greatest read. Self-help backed by scientific research; motivating and revelatory
1984 by George Orwell: I reread this book every year and it still shocks me and keeps me in suspense.
What is your favorite healthy snack?
Peanut Butter and Celery - maybe with some raisins. Yes, ants on a log!!
What is your favorite TV Show?
Peaky Blinders (BBC/Netflix): Not for the faint of heart. Gritty but slick, great story-telling that tracks real historical events. Cillian Murphy is a dark and steamy anti-hero.
What’s your favorite social distancing activity?
Catching up on my reading list, puzzling with my wife, and playing with my cat “Beezus”.
What’s on Your Feel Good Playlist?
- Brandy by Looking Glass
- Best of my Love by The Emotions
