The (In)Voice.

Let Me Upgrade You
We recently gave our AppSumo Plus page a makeover, making it much easier to learn about our perks-filled loyalty program, AppSumo Plus.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
“If you’re looking for a more rewarding life, a good place to start is by adding more mental challenges, physical challenges, and a sense of community to your life. You can get all 3 by joining a BJJ gym. I joined one over 2 years ago and have been absolutely obsessed ever since. Highly recommend you look into it. Oss.” —Ayman.

Showtime’s The Chi
“There are good kids, troublemakers, hard workers, and screwups. And after only one episode, I love them all. I think you will too.” —Olman

Impossible Burger
“These plant-based burgers are delicious and pack a mean protein punch (19g of protein in 4 ounces!). If you’re in L.A., stop at Monty’s Good Burger. You can thank me later.” —Jeir

Now, let’s get you up to speed.

Blue Ocean Strategy by Renée Mauborgne and W. Chan Kim
“Stop trying to compete in flooded product categories where it’s a race to the bottom. Instead, by focusing on non-customers and rethinking the normal bounds of your business, you’ll be able to open up brand new markets where competition becomes irrelevant. The best business book I’ve read to date.” —Chris S.

HBO’s Game of Thrones
“Rewatching previous seasons to jog your memory and appreciate all of the not-so-obvious but purposeful details is a must. Winter. Is. HERE.” —Vanessa

Greater Goods Roasting Ethiopian Coffee
“My favorite coffee shop in Austin also roasts all their own beans in-house. Warning: If you start your day with a cup of Ethiopian Roba coffee, it’s all downhill from there.” —Nick
That’s all, folks! See ya next month!
