Space Force comes back with an out of this world second season + Founded is the no B.S. guide for student entrepreneurs

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

(all times CLT)

Steve Carell and Lisa Kudrow return in season two of Space Force: There’s general consensus that the second season of Space Force is even better than the first, with Hollywood Insider writing that it’s more “down to Earth” than season one. Steve Carell channels his inner Michael Scott (his character from The Office) as he plays General Mark Naird. The second season focuses more on the supporting characters, making sure to build their own plot lines within the main storyline. The workplace sitcom sees the stellar cast manage office politics and corruption among white-collar officials as they oversee the formation of the US Space Force. The force also faces the challenging task of handling the aftermath of a moon mission gone awry, speaking in front of an interrogation committee and working out how to navigate the consequences as a team.

The last leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League kicks off today: Atletico Madrid will host Manchester United, while Dutch side Ajax will face Benfica, both at 10pm.

“The No B.S. Guide for Student Entrepreneurs”: That’s how authors Melissa Kaufman and Mike Raab describe their new book, Founded. The duo are the directors of Northwestern University’s renowned student entrepreneurship program, The Garage, which helps university students learn and develop their business models. In the book, Kaufman and Raab channel their experience of guiding hundreds of early-stage startups to create a guide for young entrepreneurs to make good business decisions, avoid common mistakes, and take steps to get started on a new idea. Founded has issues that are often overlooked in the startup world, including a frank discussion on dividing up equity, warnings not to forget about sales, and the importance of good storytelling.
