TOGETHER WITH

This Friday helping of Extra Sauce is brought to you by Morning Brew — the free daily email that makes reading the news enjoyable! ☕️

Happy Friday, fam. Let’s end the week the right way. Here’s what we’ve got for you in Extra Sauce 028 ⬇️

• Some good news: A 109-year-old college graduate, a heroic rescue, and a 14-year-old’s dreams coming true

• Our top product picks of the week

• A note from Minaa about gratitude

• An OTC with Danny LoPriore Podcast episode with Jeremy Jacobowitz where they discuss how food can heal the soul

Let’s get into it 🕺

• Edith Renfrow Smith just graduated from college at 109 years old. Born in 1914, just before World War I, she is the first Black graduate of Grinnell College in Iowa. Studying psychology and economics, she became a teacher to educate students from all backgrounds. Now one of the oldest people in the US at 109, she resides in Chicago. When asked about her health, she claims to be well. Grinnell College recently announced a building named after her, a rare honor for the living. This is amazing and shows you can accomplish so much, no matter the age 🏫 📝📚

• An Australian sailor and his dog were lost at sea for over 2 months and were miraculously rescued by a helicopter. They were sailing from Mexico to French Polynesia when their boat was damaged, and they couldn't communicate. They survived by drinking rainwater and eating raw fish. They are now in stable condition. We love to see people helping other people! ❤️

• At just 14 years old, Preston Mutanga brought the Spider-Verse to life with Legos. The Canadian teen first discovered the 3D animation software Blender while tinkering with his dad. When Preston recreated the Spider-Verse movie trailer using Lego figures, his YouTube and Twitter posts went viral, catching the eye of the original filmmakers. They were so impressed, Sony commissioned the young animator to design a scene in his signature Lego style for the new Spider-Verse film. This May, Preston excitedly walked the red carpet at the LA premiere, seeing his handiwork on the big screen. For this talented 14-year-old, getting to work on his favorite superhero movie was a dream come true. 🖼 ✨

We don’t have new picks this week, but we are back with our top sellers in case you missed them! We’ve got your back with infrared saunas to help with your recovery, NAD+ supplements to boost your cellular health, and last but not least, must-have headphones for even the most intense of workouts.
