Often, though not always, whenever I participate in small talk with folks at work, it turns into a discussion about favorite tv shows, movies, or sports. At that point, I fall silent and become an observer, because my extent of tv is watching The Grand Tour and Silicon Valley, and if the Cowboys are winning I might get myself to…
I’m back again with my second installment of great books I’ve recently discovered. If this recurring theme should tell you anything it’s that I’ve been opting to do a lot more reading in the evenings than blogging. These books aren’t necessarily newly published, it’s just that I’m getting to them now. You can see my prior recommendations here. Tim Ferriss –…
It’s been a long time since I posted anything, but it’s been a REALLY long time since I posted any book recommendations. That used to be the whole premise of this blog back in the day, so I thought what better way to get back to posting regularly, then share some awesome books I recently came across. These aren’t necessarily…
I was recently promoted from Director of Ecommerce to Vice President of Operations, which has been very exciting for me. Along with that promotion though came 2 more departments with sophisticated tasks that I had no clue about. So you could say I’m busy! There’s a lot to learn and I’m still responsible for the various departments I was already heading…
Having a toddler running around the house lately has greatly reduced the amount of reading I’m getting done lately. What I’ve really gotten into though is podcasts. It’s the perfect thing at the gym or commute to get your thoughts flowing so I’m hooked for sure. Listening to a good podcast has many times gotten me through a rough traffic…
I recently picked up Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs. I’m not an Apply fanboy, but I am a huge fan of Walter Isaacson’s biographies, so I gave it a read. As usual the story was fascinating and incredibly well researched and told. First and foremost, I was surprised to learn how huge of a jerk Steve Jobs was, but…
I’m a huge book nerd and try to read at least one non fiction book a month. Very few great business books out there are tailored specifically to the e-commerce crowd, but there are a few gems that gave me a million ideas after reading them specifically for this industry. Here is my list of the top 7 best books…
Although The Start-Up Of You is primarily directed towards those trying to advance in their career, I was interested in what Reid Hoffman, the co-founder and chairman of LinkedIn would have to say in a book. And even though I’m not looking to land a job with someone, there were still some really useful tips in here, as well as some very…
Normally acknowledging that you read a book called “Quitter” is not a good thing to do on the world wide web. At least while you’re still employed. Luckily, my current employer is also a partner so there is no conflict of interest. I also mainly picked this book up because I’m a fan of Dave Ramsey and Jon Acuff is…
I’m currently flying through books due to the Christmas break, and I think I’m on a hot streak of great ones. I heard about 18 Minutes and Peter Bregman on a Podcast I like to listen to which you can check out here. Anyone who reads this blog knows I’m obsessed with time management, so I was eager to read…
