Midweek missive: a top leadership book, 3 relationship lessons, and a mesmerizing video


Hi Reader,

It's been awhile since I've sent anything out. First of all, I really hope that wherever this finds you, you're well as we collectively emerge from this pandemic and piece life back together.

I wanted to share out a few resources that have been fun, interesting, and captured some of my recent lessons.

As always, take what's useful, leave the rest, add your own spin and make something that matters!

​New podcast: book summary of The Infinite Game, by Simon Sinek

​Book summary: The Infinite Game, by Simon Sinek (#46)

​I get asked about books a *lot*. So, I decided to try a new episode format and bring you the distilled key ideas from some of my favorite books. Hopefully my summary gives you a sense of the key ideas and if the book is worth your time to go deeper on.

There is no better place to start than with possibly my favorite leadership book of all time: “The Infinite Game,” by Simon Sinek.

Here’s the teaser: you probably aren’t playing the game you think you’re playing. Or at least not with the right mindset.

Enjoy, and send me your feedback on this new episode format by replying here or on Twitter.
