With Spotify Wraps everywhere, I have a question about music: What speed do you listen to music at? I generally do 3x, but will slow it down to 2x if I enjoy the artist.

I speed up certain podcasts (looking at you Odd Lots) but doing it with music? That’s insanity.

I listen at normal speeds

I listen at 2x speed when I’m running

I listen to podcasts on 2x :(

Totally different from music. The speed at which you listen to human language doesn’t change the content or meaning, the only risk is that at a certain speed, you risk that you can’t process it fast enough. For me, that’s about 1.5x, so I do podcasts at 1.25 or 1.13.

Music is totally different. If you speed it up or slow it down, it’s no longer the same thing.

I wish I could do this on Apple Music, if so then probably 1.5x. I can’t watch most things at normal speed anymore. I watch YouTube at 1.75x and Udemy at 2x.

Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.

My Senior Manager quit on us a couple of months ago, now my manager just did as well yesterday.

I'm in a small firm, where there is no one with tenure anymore. The new Senior Manager just started and does not know the clients either.

Last busy season was hell because we were short staffed (only 3 of us), and I fear that next one will be even worse because we are in a market where we do not have a ton of people we could hire.

This feels like a new job and I'm not liking it at all.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
