Social Mind: Social and AI Insights
Welcome to Tuesday's update 🙌
When this email hits your inbox I'll be out on a running training session. I'm preparing for the Swansea Half Marathon on 11 June when I hope to improve on my PB set in Prague last month. As you're probably aware haha, running takes up more of my time outside of work than any other activity.
What non-work activity takes up most of you time?
Have a great day!
