A Personal Note

I have worked on two different versions of this newsletter over a series of weeks and scrapped both of them (at least for now). However, I did not want to skip the April newsletter. I’ve been struggling a lot with sleep again, which means my mental health takes a dip and my brain generally isn’t functioning very well. That said, Banana Phone is still really lighting me up and reminds me of where I want to focus my energy: my community, my health, and my creative projects.

3 Podcasts I've Listened To:

  1. ​The Problem with Men: What Now with Trevor Noah interviewing Scott Galloway
  2. ​Our Kids are the Least Flourishing Generation We Know Of, the Ezra Klein Show
  3. ​The Daily NYT Interview with Bill Murray​

2 Common Threads from the Podcasts:

πŸ’– Community is a game-changer! If you want to give yourself a boost and/or change something in your life, focusing on community will reap the greatest rewards.

πŸ† Making other people look good is always a win.

1 Thing I'm Working On:

The April Edition of Banana Phone! The theme is cultivating ideas you want to bring to life and focusing on what you want to grow into this Spring.

"On my own I will just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, I’ll create something else. I don’t have any limitations on what I think I could do or be." β€” Oprah Winfrey

What about you? What seeds are you planting? What do you want to cultivate these next few months?

P.S. During Spring Break I went surfing for the 1st time in 2 years! Woo Hoo!!! πŸ₯³ What's something you're proud of right now?
