Book Recommendations
Every month, I send out a newsletter with a book recommendation. This is where I keep a record of past recommendations for folks looking for new things to read.
If you struggle to find time to read, you should consider using Audible for audiobooks.

The Gospel According to Larry by Janet Tashjian
I read this book at least 8 times during my teenage years and have returned back to it as an adult. I’d recommend this as a gift to any teenager in your life.

This book fundamentally changed the way I think about business. I continue to follow their writing at Signal v. Noise.
