Spotted in our garden this week is a fantastic fellowship opportunity shared by Mallory in The Bloom's community! The NYC-based Thrive Global Fellowship is for recent graduates who want to get a foot in the door in the tech and the positive behavior change spaces, and gain lots of cross-functional experience across departments. And while you're learning more about the job, do check out Thrive's Meditative Story podcast. My personal favorite episode is Riding Waves where NYC Museum of Modern Art curator Paola Antonelli transports listeners to an inspiring memory from her childhood aboard a sailboat in Sardegna, Italy.
