Hi member, I'm Hasit Shah. You might recognize my name from the Quartz Daily Brief newsletter. You might also recognize my colleagues Kira Bindrim, Susan Howson, and Heather Landy. We're not just the people who send you emails—we edit the stories you read, we answer the questions you submit, and we read all of your feedback (yes, all of it)—to ensure you're being served the best Quartz experience possible. Collectively we read pretty much all of Quartz. To help get you started, here are some of our favorite can't miss stories and why you should give them a read: This is your brain on Robinhood."I think often about this Q&A with former derivatives trader John Coates about how trading is both intellectual and hormonal. Amateur retail traders are "probably getting a real high off of it," Coates says, which makes them more inclined to seek out risk in the future." Reliance Jio is India's answer to Amazon, AT&T, and Huawei—all rolled into one. "Mukesh Ambani is my new favorite Rich Person to Gawk At, and I had been mostly ignorant about the stories behind and around Reliance Jio until this story set me straight. It's a fascinating tale, and I particularly like the way this information is presented, too. It's clear, it's fun, it's different—it's everything I like about Quartz." "Maslow's pyramid" is based on an elitist misreading of the psychologist's work."This is intelligent, thought-provoking reading that challenges conventional wisdom and helps us see others, and ourselves, in a new way. It's the essence of Quartz, and one of my all-time favorite articles." In Maradona, the world mourns a legend—but Naples mourns a part of itself. "I love Annalisa Merelli's piece about the city of Naples mourning the Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona. Not just because I also loved Diego, as a kid growing up in the 80s, but also because her writing here is sparsely beautiful." If you have any questions, feedback, or general love for Quartz you'd like to share—we're the people to send that to. Happy reading, Hasit Shah News editor
