Padel w/ your investor, pizza nights and highlighting top events (as always:)

Happy Sunday,
I know we’re kinda serious in this newsletter, but your girl loves her some drama. Forget rocket launches; The Astronomer CEO and their fiery CPO decided to launch a full-blown meltdown on social media instead.

While they were busy tweeting like it’s Mercury in retrograde, the rest of the tech world kept spinning with AI breakthroughs, funding news, and a few quiet power plays you probably missed. Let’s dive into the event chaos, shall we?
The full list of future events, meetups and conferences can be found in my lu.ma calendar here. Don’t forget you can also submit your own event there!

Chad and Shayna explore how we can cultivate mindfulness, discernment, and joy when AI seems to be permeating every area of our lives. With AI chatbots eroding our self-reliance, imagination, and discernment it is more important than ever to have sacred practices for expanding consciousness so that we can become better versions of ourselves with or without AI.
