I spoke by Zoom today with Nyckle Sijtsma in Delft, Netherlands, about his inspiring design company. I discovered New Things via an Instagram ad for the Memo White Board, a product I truly love. You will hear all about it in this conversation, along with Nyckle's personal mission to "help people think clearly."

Author of Daybreak: A Novel
I spoke with Matt Gallagher by Zoom on February 8, 2024, in advance of the release of his new novel, which was released by Simon & Schuster on February 20.
It's a powerful story set in Ukraine at the start of a war that continues into its third year.
Highly recommended!
