Tim Cook can sleep at night knowing the Apple Watch is saving hundreds if not thousands of lives every year. This is also why Apple doesn't rush health features. People depend on the Apple Watch for its accuracy and doctors recommend them for the same reason.

Using data well is hard. It's easier to talk up the latest tech or wrap ourselves up in its pretty promises, but those things don't make for better decisions. Being truly data-informed comes down to internalizing a set of 5 simple yet exceedingly powerful values: 👇

The @netflix series "Bad Boy Billionaires - India" Captures a birds-eye view of the slum in Bombay I grew up before moving out alone in 2015 to build my life. One of the homes you see in the photos is ours. You also see better public toilets which were not like this before.

Hope you like this piece as much as I do. Thanks for hanging with me!
Closing with a lovely instrumental by Shankar, who plays the sarod, one of the main instruments in classical Indian music. The one you'll hear him playing has 19 strings. The piece also features a violinist, a bassist and a tabla player. Thanx for spending your afternoon with me!
