Leader’s way of thinking
A podcast that’s been a favorite from one of our leaders, Customer Success Supervisor Fazry Kurniawan is “Endgame with Gita Wirjawan”. This weekly podcast by entrepreneur and educator Gita Wirjawan invites thought-leaders and trailblazers in fields such as democracy, literature, and mindfulness to share their experiences and explore the ways Indonesia could advance in different areas. With guests such as Helmi Yahya and former chairman of CIMB Group Nazir Razak, the podcast dives more into the heavier topics, but the insights you’ll gain surely would impress!

Keeping up with the tech scene
For all the tech savvies out there, you might have heard of these podcasts. But if you haven’t yet, get on with the times and pick one or two episodes to start. Our Software Engineer Lead, Alfiana Sibuea, suggests these two podcasts:
The A16z Podcast by Andreessen Horowitz, which discusses tech culture, trends, and news, as ‘software eats the world’.
Philosophize This! by Stephen West, a podcast dedicated to sharing philosophical ideas that has shaped our world, in a manner that is easy to digest.
If you’re more on the visual side than audio, Alfiana also keeps tabs on these tech news sites to get his latest tech updates daily: theoldreader.com, news.ycombinator.com, and highscalability.com. In another team, our Data Scientist Mustika Aprilianti likes to keep up with the trends by getting hands on and learns by doing via learning platform oreilly.com.
Pick a resource or two and reap the benefits for yourself!
To find and embrace your inner peace
To balance out work with personal life and growth, our Senior PR & Brand Communication Specialist, Marsha Zakia Karindra, is a huge fan of the Peace Sea podcast. This podcast is in Indonesian, and talks about meditation from different angles—serious to silly. With topics ranging from chakra healing, law of attraction, to collective consciousness, the podcast is eye-opening and could be a good match for those looking to cleanse from the inside out. In addition to the podcast, Marsha also likes to read books written by zen Buddhist Haemin Sunim.

Happy early Eid Al-Fitr for those who celebrate! May this week’s insights bring warm conversations among your families, and open new doors for you to learn from an even wider perspective.
See you soon!
