Hey friends,
It’s Friday, which means so much happens during the week that we surely didn’t talk about it all. Here are the best threads, stories, podcasts, and videos over the past seven days that I’ve seen. Additionally, you’ll get to the Sprint Qualifier section at the bottom that has a mix of headlines and stories from all over the world of sports and business.
And as always, feel free to tweet with me and send me your best.
Here’s a little something to think about: UK based F1 personnel will spend 43 hrs flying 33,428 km to complete the upcoming triple-header
