Monthly Mash Up (October 2017)

October has been a strange month. Aside from being sick for nearly two weeks, and a busy schedule, it was a slow month in terms of completing the books I’d previously started. Some of them were quite large, but that had nothing to do with their sitting on my desk untouched for days at a time. 

Below is a smattering of the books, podcasts and resources I did chew on in October. They helped me learn and grow this month, and I am sure they would be the same great help to you.

Monthly Mash Up (September 2017)

Reading, and learning are a key part to growth. They stretch your mind, fill it with new ideas, and introduce new and varied perspectives to what you already “knew.”

Below is a mash up of the books, articles, and more that impacted me this month.

Quote I’m Chewing On

“Remember that you don’t know everything. Listen and take advice from other people. Always be ready to learn and try  to be better.”
— Jocko Willink, Way of the Warrior Kid
