STRUCTURED CHAOS, Merel Petri, and Kristin Turner

Welcome to the Sunday Scroll! Your weekly curation of what impacted culture & commerce. Think of us as your reprieve from the wild world of being too online. Come for the chaos, stay for the structure.

Well, HELLO! If any of you consider yourself to be astrology-skeptical, let us poise a question… has your social life been absolutely nonstop the last few weeks? If yes, then welcome to the believers side of the internet. THAT is Gemini - a chatty, social, hands in 400 different containers kinda b*tch. Which, tbh, we looooove. Why not a little extra chaos on the side, pls!

In our world that means last minute cross-country AND international travel…a big move…an unexpected surgery for KT’s little pup… nonstop event invites (mostly to watch the Knicks dominate)… rebranding everything to our name…and reality TV overwhelm. Your girls are emotionally stimulated but its giving an energy that it unmatched. At least we have sacred Sundays to hold us down… a hot girl walk and a homemade matcha always does the trick.

OH and we would be insane not to discuss the energy in New York right now thanks to the Knicks. We’re two girls who wanted to takeover the city as PR girls in the 2010s (peak ambitious millennial core) and sometimes its easy to forget the energy that drew you to the city in the first place. That formative first summer that made you feel more alive and changed everything. And then, every now and then, you get to experience one of those nights that brings it all rushing back. But now? Every single night going out and watching the finals is a reminder of why this is the best city in the world. We’re not crying, you are!!!

Consciously Consuming…

🎧 How to Build a Team That Wins: We’ve seen sooo many leaders fumble great talent by letting their own insecurities win - ever heard of micromanging? And guess what? It always hurts the company more than the person. This should be required listening for any CEO, founder or people manager. Oh and stop promising growth that doesn’t exist, k?

🎧 Jack Conte on The Cutting Room Floor: Will never skip a convo between two smart creatives about the current state of the internet and its impact on society. Jack is now the founder of Patreon but was an artist way before that, which was a crucial factor in him creating a first of its kind for creators to build successful businesses and monetize their audience. Early social media platforms could never!
