Take a Break and...Look Ahead

2024 Outlook

Hello Kindred Spirits,

We’ve officially made it through the first month of the year!

As we embrace the promise of 2024, our community stands on the brink of a transformative journey. From rapidly accelerating advancement in AI to an equally exciting macroeconomic landscape, we're here to navigate the currents of change together.

Whether we’re analyzing the industry impact of AI, examining the relationship between sports and media, or simply trying to manifest a soft landing in 2024, we're here to explore, reflect, and engage alongside our community to create better systems for us all.

But our vision extends beyond the markets. This year, we're committed to deepening our understanding, fostering a space for growth, and embracing the opportunities that come our way, using purpose and empathy to guide us.

Together, let's make 2024 a year of discovery, insight, and connection. But for now, we invite you to sit back, Take a Break, and look ahead.
