New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

New Family Dinner Game We Are Enjoying

I’m a big believer in my friend Naval Ravikant’s idea that the five most important skills a child (or adult) can learn to set them up for success in just about any arena of life are: reading, writing, arithmetic, persuasion (rhetoric), and computer programming (logic). Naval unpacks this idea in detail on this podcast.

As a result, I’ve been implementing in my twin 12-year-old boys’ unschooling curriculum a focus on each of these five skills. Initially, persuasion/rhetoric was a tough nut to crack until I discovered The Rhetoric Game. Available as both a phone app and a physical board game, this game (designed by two professional speakers) allows each player to “step onto the stage” and take turns delivering a series of short, entertaining speeches. It’s been a ton of fun to play at the dinner table and my boys, my wife, and I are all learning to become better “impromptu” speakers and having a ton of fun in the process.

Being able to speak well in public is extremely important. You may have great ideas, but if you cannot convey those ideas to others in a manner that is engaging, persuasive, concise, and memorable, then much of your potential will not be realized. This is a fun and effective way to get you and your family up on your feet and sharpening your rhetorical skills. You can get the app version for iPhone here, for Android here, and the physical board game here.

Grilling in your backyard shouldn't have to end with the changing of the seasons.

In addition to some other pretty impressive features you can discover here, the Ironwood 885's double side-wall insulation improves temperature consistency and pellet efficiency—making it perfect for cold weather use.

Yes, now you can smoke, bake, roast, braise, bbq, and of course, grill whatever your little carnivore heart desires with pure, hardwood flavor year-round.

Until you've eaten a steak, brat, or chicken thigh cooked over a hardwood flame, you won't know what you're missing out on by cooking with charcoal or gas. Not only do Traegers produce the tastiest grilled delicacies your mouth will ever have the pleasure of tasting, but they're also super simple to use.

Featured Product: Kion Decaf Coffee!

Fresh from Kion HQ in Boulder, CO and our highly-skilled roasters, Kion Decaf Coffee is finally here.

Well, almost.

Next week, my company Kion will be debuting our highly anticipated Kion Decaf Coffee, and I wanted you to be among the first to know.

Using the same specialty-grade coffee beans and ultra-high standards of testing that gave Kion Coffee an almost cultlike following, we've crafted Kion Decaf Coffee to bring you the same aroma and flavor—with almost zero caffeine.

We maintain our commitment to offering the cleanest coffee possible by starting with 100% organic, mold- and mycotoxin-free beans, roasting them to high antioxidant/low acrylamide perfection, and decaffeinating it using Mountain Water Processing (MWP).

Nearly identical to the Swiss Water Process you're probably familiar with, MWP uses, you guessed it, pure mountain water and removes 99.9% of caffeine without the use of chemicals. MWP maintains the beans’ original components and elements of flavor—giving you delicious, aromatic, decaffeinated coffee.

To get your hands on some Kion Decaf Coffee, stay tuned for more information next week!
