Hey folks, happy Monday. Hope you're looking ahead to an exciting week.

So you may have noticed that last Monday we published a different kind of episode.

It was an episode from our sister podcast, The Next Big Idea Daily.

You may not have known that we have a sister podcast.

We don't talk about it a lot, but it exists and it's great.

It's hosted by my colleague and dear friend, he of the

molyfluous barotone, Michael Kovna. The next big idea daily turns big books into bite-sized

takeaways. Every weekday, an author takes 15 minutes to share the juiciest ideas from their new

nonfiction book. Basically, you get a mini version of a great new book straight from the person who wrote it,

and you can listen in the time it takes to brew your morning coffee, steep your morning tea,

however you prepare your morning beverage.

I love the show and I think you will too, which is why we're going to start sharing an episode

of the next big idea daily on this feed every Monday. If you will too, which is why we're going to start sharing an episode of the next big idea

Okay, here's Michael. LinkedIn presents.

Good morning. I'm your host, Michael Kovnet, and this is the next Big Idea Daily, the show that gives you quick insights from the latest nonfiction books, making it effortless for you to get smarter while sipping your morning coffee.

Now, more often than not on this show, we find ourselves talking about psychology or business or relationships.

But today, we're going to talk about wood. That's right, wood. While you've been focusing on your

screens and your fancy digital user interfaces, good old reliable wood has been there all along,

doing overlooked but indispensable work as your desk, your chair, your table.
