6 Things Thursday ๐
Happy ๐ฆ day,
Here's another microdose of things I enjoyed this week--written by me,ย RaadโCEO ofย LawTrades.
1/ A paid newsletter I launched ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐

6 Things Thursday has a new home on substack called Space Cult.ย This is actually the first email Iโm sending from the new platform, so if youโre reading this then youโre part of the 2% of subscribers that made the cut (๐๐ผ๐พ).ย Space Cult consists of short compelling ideas that help you find the space between you and your thoughts.ย 6 Things Thursday stays free, while three Daily Updates a week are for paid subscribers only.
Updates consist of private discourses, posting comments and discussing books with likeminded people, music to narrow your focus, detailed notes from books Iโve read, and a subscriber-only podcast.

2/ Pants Iโm enjoying ๐
Naadam - Cashmere Sweatpants
Cashmere is eight times warmer than sheepโs wool, but it comes at a price. Naadam, a NYC-based cashmere startup works directly with Mongolian goat herders so customers pay 50% less and the company pays herders 50% more.ย Their material is exquisite โ thick, lightweight, and now the softest thing in my closet.ย Plus, since Naadam uses cashmere fibers that are 30% longer than regular cashmere and rarely break or pill at the surface.
3/ A book Iโm finishing ๐งโโ๏ธ
Siddhartha (free kindle download)
This classic novel shows us that the best way to understand life is not through intellectual methods, nor pleasures of the world and itโs inevitable accompanying pain; rather itโs the totality of conscious experiences in a human life that allows someone to attain enlightenment.
4. A tweetstorm I read ๐ฅ
Micah Rosenbloom on being #2
5. A product I discovered
Wave
Itโs a subscription-based app and vibrating pillow ($199 for the kit) that create a more stimulating guided-meditation experience. The idea is to experience a multisensory meditation by feeling musical vibrations while working through a mindfulness exercise.
6. A quote I'm pondering
โTo achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.โ โ Leonard Bernstein
