Best of 2025
This is one of the most selfish things I like to do each year. The best part is having a catalogue of things to look back on.

Red Rising
BY: PIERCE BROWN In one line: Hands down, my favorite book series of all time…sci-fi, fantasy, and leadership…stay on the ride until the end because it only gets better the deeper you dive. “Societies have 3 stages: savagery, ascendance, and decadence—decadence is where they fail.“ “We sing, we dance, we love—that is our power.” “AllContinue reading “Red Rising”

Improve Your Process With Prediction & Reflection This is one of the things that most of the people I admire constantly reiterate— “focus on process, not result.
