Happy Tuesday fam,

Welcome back to Stay Curious — a newsletter I write once per week on 3 things keeping me curious, or I send one of you a 100 dolla bill for catching me if I skip.

Bucketlister run this weekend. Who’s going?!

Here’s what’s on my mind this week:

A few weeks ago I got a funny question from Metta World Peace (NBA Champion from 2010). He said: “lunch at Cactus Club?”

I said, na na, lets do something better.

Yesterday at 12pm was the result of that idea. Great convos, excellent food and some fantastic people. Vancouver is full of surprises. You just gotta keep your eyes open.

Knicks in 5?

2. Sold Out Race on Bowen Island This Saturday

Couldn’t be more excited to host our 2nd Bowen Island Bucketlister Race this weekend. Thanks for all the friends that have believed in us and reply if you’re gonna be there!

P.S. We’re looking for a few more volunteers if anyone wants to step up. Burger and good vibes included.

3. My Hot Take of the Week

The most powerful question you can ask yourself is: “what would this situation look like if it was more fun and easier?”

Ask yourself this as often as possible.

Been a fun challenge this week.
