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
