Why 5x5?

I’m starting 5x5 because there are two simple truths about our media landscape – from books, to TV, to music:

• There is more media available in the world now than at any other time in human history. And the truth is, most of it is not worth your time.

• Anymore, it’s hard to know from first glance the difference between something that you will love and something that you will hate, or something that will make you think and something that will do the opposite.

That’s where I come in. In every 5x5, you will receive 5 things to read, hear, see, write, and do - all centered around a theme. The media that I pick out will save you from the current cycle in which so many of us exist daily.

We are defined by the media we consume, and by joining me here at 5x5, you’ll get more out of your relationship with the shows you watch, the books you read, and the podcasts and songs you listen to than ever before!
