Here’s a bit about what I wrote, read and learned over the past week. I hope you find it helpful!
Blog posts from the past week

Books that I’m reading

I also finished reading “Seven Brief Lessons on Physics“, which will go my “to reread again the future” list.
I started reading “Building a StoryBrand 2.0“.
I started reading “Never Eat Alone“.
