Books, Blogs, Etc.

• Always looking for books that spur new ideas. A few favorites include, but not limited to the following: The Power of Habit, Don't Make Me Think, Hooked, The Little Blue Book, The Checklist Manifesto, and Ask. Just started reading The Next American Economy by Samuel Gregg.

• Favorite podcast/blogs: Marketing School by Neil Patel, and I occasionally read articles from Ryan Levesque (huge fan of his book Ask), Andrew Chen, TechCrunch, and NFX. Additionally, I enjoy First Trust Bank’s Monday Morning Outlook and insightful private market trends via Pitchbook, Adams Street Partners, Oaktree Capital Management, and other leading private equity practitioners.
