Favorite Music for Creativity & Motivation

  • Droeloe (Music Artist)“It is music with elements of future bass, chillwave, and experimental electronic music. It has great atmosphere and sound design is fantastic. I suggest listening with good head phones with bass or good speakers.”- Abraham, Support
  • Chance Peña“Such viby music to listen to while working.”- Jefferson, Marketing

Must-Read Books That Shift Your Perspective

  • The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson “This book is a fantastic work of fiction featuring characters who fight to overcome hardship in a war-torn land. The writing is engaging and intense, and the characters are dynamic and grow with the story.”- Nicholas, Support
  • Reset: How to Change What's Not Working by Dan Heath “It just has great insights on easy opportunities to look for areas of change. Not huge heavy lifts, small doable tweaks.”- Jeff, Support
  • The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson– “Atomic Habits before Atomic Habits.”- James, Marketing
  • Helsreach by Aaron Dembski-Bowden“Chaplain Grimaldus of the Black Templars is dispatched to Armageddon with his battle brothers to defend the planet against an Ork invasion in one of the foundational pieces of Warhammer 40,000 lore.”- Adam, Product

Favorite Podcasts

  • Unsupervised Learning “Fantastic cyber security podcast for news and insights”.- Keegan, Product
  • Tooth and Claw“I love hearing stories of humans and nature interacting.”- Shelly, Admin.

Favorite Movies and/or TV Shows

  • The Bondsman- “1. Kevin BACON! 2. KEVIN Bacon. 3. Great show!!!” – Keegan, Product
  • Solo leveling (anime) – “It has a lot of action and season 1 and 2 have been great!”- Abraham, Support
  • Night Agent- “This show has good action while being interesting with a good story.”- Pedro, Admin
  • Friends- “Friends is more than just a sitcom — it’s a reflection of growing up, navigating careers, relationships, and finding your place, especially when you move far from home — just like I did. As someone who came from Egypt and built a life and career in the U.S., the show's message of chosen family, support, and laughter through life’s ups and downs really hits home. It reminds us that no matter where we are, we can build meaningful connections and keep growing together.“- Ahmed, Support
  • Mr. Bean– “Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) was actually an electrical engineer — just like me — before he shifted to comedy. That alone is inspiring. His character shows how creativity and humor can overcome awkward situations and bring people together without needing language. It’s a reminder that even the quietest, quirkiest person can make a global impact. It’s empowering, timeless, and always brings a smile — across cultures, ages, and backgrounds.“- Ahmed, Support
  • Silo- “This Apple TV original keeps you on the edge of your seat with a plot that leaves you asking “What do you think is going to happen?!” after every episode. The show's mysterious dystopian atmosphere is both suspenseful and intense, and is full of characters you will love… and others you're not sure you can trust. It only gets better with time in season two, and season three is well on it's way.”- Nicholas, Support
  • Daredevil- “He is blind but not really and the Punisher is in it and then they elect the Kingpin mayor and he's all like “No vigilantes on my watch” but then Daredevil and Punisher are all “We are going to vigilante as much as we want to.” But the Kingpin goes “Nuh uh.” Then they go “Yeah huh.” And there are a bunch of fights.”- Adam, Product

  • https://isitchristmas.com“Few websites in the last 35 years have had such an impact on my life as this one. From its sleek and minimalist design to its straightforward and bold message, this website lets you know exactly what it's going to do – and does it with excellence.”- Nicholas, Support
