đź’ˇ What I'm Tuning Into
This week, I've been engrossed in the 'Science Vs' podcast, where they dissect fads, trends, and the opinionated mob to find out what’s fact, what’s not, and what’s somewhere in between. The episode on “Burnout: Can we fix work?" is especially eye-opening, revealing ways to manage work-life balance—an essential skill for any strategist!

🔦 Strategist Spotlight
This week we turn our attention to SimĂłn BolĂvar, the Venezuelan military and political leader who played a key role in Latin America's successful struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire. BolĂvar’s strategy was not just about military tactics but also involved understanding and leveraging the social and political dynamics of the time. His persistence and diplomatic skills offer timeless lessons for strategists looking to bring people together for a cause.
