Hi Friends!
Welcome and thank you for being one of the first subscribers to my newsletter. Here is another Friday Recs weekly post. A list of all the things I found worthwhile this week. Feel free to forward this along to friends.
First of all, I want to apologize to everyone that keeps up with this newsletter for skipping last week’s letter. I got bugged down with a lot of stuff to do that before I realized I had not sent one out, it was too late. Apologies 😁.
Also, thank you for Half A Year of Friday Recs! Woohoo! Issue 26 is half of Issue 52! Can’t believe it’s come this far 😁.
It’s the end of the week! Here’s a fun video for ya!
A Series I’m watching
The Diplomat Season 1 Episode 5 (IMDb, Netflix)
We've been spoiled with some fantastic content from Netflix this year, but let me tell you, it just got even better!
I’ve long hungered for another good old fast-paced, high-stakes political thriller like House of Cards or Designated Survivor. And my, my, is The Diplomat satiating that feeling. The characters are sharp and witty, and the dialogue is simply incredible - it's not just filler, it's crucial to the story. Speaking of the story, it's nothing short of amazing. With 8 episodes, it'll keep you hooked for days.
But be warned, if you miss a few seconds, you could be thrown off track entirely. Pay close attention and do not miss a thing!

What I’m learning more about
I've been hearing one thing repeatedly these past few months, and it's starting to make me nervous: "Only those who learn how to use AI will not get replaced." It's a scary thought, isn't it? I don't know if it's true or not, but one thing is for sure - some people are already getting rich off this new technology, and it's only just beginning.
I don't want to be left behind, so I decided to test it out. But to test anything, you need to arm yourself with knowledge. And that's exactly what I did. I scoured the internet for information and stumbled upon an amazing, easy-to-follow article on implementing an AI process that actually works for you.

Quote I’m thinking about
