Hi there,

Free access to fertility experts as a perk? It sounds like a perk you'd expect in 2058, but the future is now. What else did we curate for this week's issue? Must reads on personal development, how to prep for a remote working trip and the rise of artisan guilds all over the world. If you stumble upon good reads yourself, you know what to do by now :) #hitreply

We'll be hanging around The Next Web conference in Amsterdam today and tomorrow, if you want to meet us :)

Keep up the good work,

Team Homerun
