Welcome to the 56th edition of The Three Things, the weekly update of three links, podcasts, videos, or books you can’t miss – from Laura Petrolino, Joe Cardillo (Visual.ly), and yours truly.
For those of you new to this series, The Three Things arrives in your inbox on Sunday mornings (unless you don’t subscribe, but that can easily be fixed if you hurry over and enter your email address or add to your RSS feed) so you have some extra time to spend perusing the obscure content we’ve curated for you (and one another) before your week begins and deadlines, meetings, and work takes over.
Today we explore interest and influence, how indescribably awesome San Francisco is, and – following on the heels of that – how there really ARE fantastic people in this world.
