💭 Modern slavery, ice cream reviews, and doing good with Chris Field
"The best time to do the right thing is right now." ~ Chris Field
Hi friends, this week I am sharing a conversation I had with author and founder Chris Field, and on an entirely different topic, I include an article about my current obsession - Brazilian ju-jitsu.
🍦 Modern slavery, ice cream reviews, and doing good with Chris Field
Chris (@disruptionchris) is the founder of Mercy Project, an organisation responsible for rescuing hundreds of children from modern slavery in Ghana. In this conversation we talk about Mercy Project's innovative approach to tackling this problem, and how it can be applied to other social problems. We also cover other more light hearted topics such as Chris's viral ice cream review, and his inspiring approach to doing good in the world, which is also the subject of his new book, A Billion Hours of Good.

🥋The Martial Art I Can't Live Without
"For a discipline that involves getting sat on, sweated on, and uncomfortably entangled with another person—your knee torqued, your arm hyperextended, your carotid artery crushed in a choke hold—Brazilian jiu-jitsu elicits surprisingly cerebral comparisons: to chess, philosophy, even psychoanalysis." I love ju-jitsu, and this article captures how I feel about it. If you haven't tried it, it looks a bit crazy rolling around on the floor, but once you get it, it's quite addictive. To me, it's a bit like chess crossed with dancing.
That's it for this week. If you enjoyed this week's edition, feel free to share it with your network or drop me a note.
Have a wonderful day,
Jamie
