What We Do

Dear Girl Friday makes global affairs and current events more accessible through media such as videos, newsletters, and podcasts.

The Friday Brief Podcast

The Friday Brief with Phoenix Ricks is a calm news podcast that covers U.S. politics and international events. Our motto is “awareness impels action,” so we’ll let you know how you can get involved in solving the world’s toughest challenges.

Bold and Bookish®

We read books that expand our worldview.

Initially founded in 2020, we reimagined our Bold and Bookish® book club in 2025.

We read fiction and non-fiction, and you are always welcome to suggest your favorite titles.

We proudly support independent booksellers by hosting our featured picks on BookShop.

We receive a small commission when you purchase through our BookShop links.

On our radar

On LinkedIn, you can follow our On Our Radar press clips, which include news we’re tracking for Girl Friday Advisors’ clients. With a lens on business impacts, we cover everything from emerging technologies and civil conflicts.

Geopolitics for Good Newsletter

Dear Girl Friday started with a newsletter, and we’re coming full circle. On Substack, we cover critical global issues and how you can get involved in solving our world’s toughest challenges.
