Jordan Frei: Mission — focus on your health to stay alive
Mission-driven. That’s how’s I define myself. In my profession, my social life and in my house. Articulate and prioritize the missions. Forge the paths to accomplish them.

Christina Jones: Social media addiction lawsuits matter
Like many people, when I first heard about the lawsuits against major social media companies over algorithmic addiction and youth mental health, my initial reaction was complicated.
