🏙️ To plunge or not to plunge?

Plus, try to keep up with Clio, and learn more about a big B.C. government investment.

I actually kinda like the feeling of a cold plunge. Sure, the first seconds suck. But you get used to it. And the feeling of completing one is a nice physical- and mental-health double whammy. There’s actually been some Twitter chatter that the next VTJ Live event will be broadcast from a cold plunge tub, which would be… interesting.

Cold plunge or no cold plunge, you’re not going to want to miss this one. It’s your chance to hang with Sahil Bloom and Andrew Wilkinson | presented by Thinkific at the Vancouver Playhouse. You’re set for an in-depth conversation on strategies for scaling businesses, escaping from the daily grind, and leveraging frameworks to live a healthier, wealthier life — and tickets are on sale now.

Now onto today’s briefing. It’s 963 words: a four-minute read.
