Python notebook, building stronger teams with music, the perfect spot for your laptop

Hey Founders and Friends,

If you’ve been a subscriber for a while, you know that I’m a huge fan of James Clear’s 3-2-1 newsletter.

I wanted to share a quote from last week’s edition as you start your week:

"Forget about peak performance. Would your results improve if you simply focused on being reliable in the normal moments?

Show up when it's easy to skip. Do the fundamentals and do them well. And so on.

Before you make it complicated, remember there are always simple improvements waiting to be made."

However, most startups can't afford the $600+ hourly rate that most major law firms charge. That's where Cuvée Counsel comes in.
