The Weekend Edition

Happy Saturday, friends! I’m currently back in my favorite city : London. I’m enjoying a few days of sightseeing and time with friends. Then, I’ll be attending an intensive business program at London Business School. I love learning and I love business, so I am super excited about this unique opportunity!

Meanwhile, here’s a look at what’s been happening here and what we loved around the internet this week…
