Fast Company – May 2019

“Before I go to bed, I replay my day and

think of all the things I am grateful for

that have happened since I’ve been

awake. After I create my list, I pick the

one that I am most grateful for and give

thanks. This allows me to wrap up the

day and end on a positive note.”

—Victoria Lynden, founder and CEO,

Kohana Coffee

THE

SPLURGE

Savile Row Eyeglasses
(STARTING AT $50 0 , SAVILEROWEYEWEAR.COM)
“Savile Row’s 18 karat gold eyeglass frames are the most baller things you can buy. It’s like
buying a solid gold umbrella. You just know deep down inside you’re going to lose it.”
—Carlos Quirarte, co-owner of the Smile restaurant in New York

“The first time

I visited Milford Sound in

New Zealand was on my

honeymoon. The water is

glacial blue, and it feels

like you’re at the end

of the earth, surrounded

by nature.”

Retreat and Advance

—Caryl M. Stern, CEO, Unicef

Working Out

“SOLDIER,” DESTINY’S

CHILD (FEAT.

T.I. AND LIL WAYNE)

My favorite workout

playlists are 80%

Beyoncé, 20% ’90s

hip-hop.

Driving

“RAIN IN LAFAYETTE,”

PAT GREEN

There’s something

about this song that

makes me feel like I’m

driving through the

countryside, even if

I’m just sitting in the

backseat of an Uber

in L.A. traffic.

Mellowing Out

“WILL YOU LOVE

ME TOMORROW,”

CAROLE KING

I’m learning to play

the piano and have

grand plans of closing

the days playing this

on the piano rather

than listening to it on

Spotify. One day soon.

Waking Up

“EVERY TIME THE SUN

COMES UP,”

SHARON VAN ETTEN

This song is a bit of a

joke but still has that

melancholy depth

and richness that sets

a grounded tone for

the start of the day.

Every Moment

Hard at Work

“WAIT FOR IT,” HAMIL-

TON SOUNDTRACK/

I hope I’m not the

only one who has

imagined being Aaron

Burr when struling

with a project.
