ABOVE THE FOLD #46

Morning! Got to watch a SpaceX launch for the first time down in FL yesterday 🤯 So when I saw this story about the early days on the brink of bankruptcy, I had to share.

Idea of the week: I recently learned about the story of Dr. Joe Dispenza - run over by an SUV, broke 6 vertebrae, "guaranteed paralysis" without surgery. Opted out of surgery and had full recovery with no lasting issues. It sparked a broader tv/film idea around the "power of the mind." Call it "The Placebo Effect" - exploring the stories of people who've ie. recovered from terminal cancers, run marathons in Antarctica without shoes or a shirt, using nothing but the power of the mind.
