Being charged 15% more because you’re a woman
Do you know Billie? This female funded startup found in 2017 with the goal of fighting the “pink tax” (paying a surplus because the product is marketed to women) including razors and personal care products (for razors the pink tax boils down to 10-15% vs male razors. Yes, wtf? 🤯). If this motivated you to start your own female…

100% Inspired
Opposed to the normal #businessbossbish I’d be inspired by. This week I was enthralled by Beth Harmon, the chess prodigy orphan from The Queen’s Gambit. In this Netflix binger, Beth Harmon becomes the queen of chess, smashing it against her male opponents. All the while having tranquillizers and alcohol for breakfast, lunch and dinner (I just noticed the…

Extending life with sirtuins, NMN, resveratrol and metformin
I think everyone arrives at a stage past 30 when they realize life is quite precious, longevity is not a given and that we need to take care of our bodies & health (and for the Asians – also take care of your dad/mom/grandmom/grandfather and the rest of the extended family’s health). So I’ve been watching (YouTube that…
