Books
The Power Law—Sebastian Mallaby—The Power Law unpacks a history of venture capital’s creation. I listened to this book during several long trail runs in Georgia! It’s fascinating.
Creating the Intangible Enterprise—KP Reddy—I consider KP a close acquaintance, if not a friend. We met several years ago while hiking up Camelback Mountain in Arizona. We were both attending a conference. KP’s book provides a pure definition of AI, followed by unpacking the skills necessary to thrive in the future. KP writes with a wit and wisdom you will appreciate.
Burned Out To Lit Up Cara E. Houser—I read Cara’s book as a preface to interviewing her for my MultifamilyCollective Podcast. The episode will air later. I loved Cara’s book, as it resonated with me on every level. Cara ran hard for several years, giving everything to her work until she couldn’t. And instead of tapering – she quit cold turkey and began rebuilding her life on her terms! Game on! If you are feeling or experiencing burnout – get Cara’s book and follow her directions!
The Goal – Eliyahu M Goldratt This book is an absolute classic! Set in a factory and geared around assembly line production, it unpacks logistics in a novel format. It’s part love story, part OMG, I’m going to lose my job, if…, and part leadership. I’ve read it twice, but this time around, I decided to listen to you while training for a long trail race.
Zero to One – Peter Thiel – I’m a big fan of Peter Thiel and the way he thinks about capitalism. Zero to One is a good primer for anyone starting a business to change the world. If you are in it to change the world incrementally, this book is not for you. If you want to change the world by several OOMs, pick this up today. If you don’t know what OOM is – pick this up today.
The Courage to be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change Your Life, and Achieve Real Happiness—Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi—I’m a fan of Alfred Adler and his Adlerian psychology, which is sometimes referred to as Individual Psychology. So, when I read this book’s description, I was immediately intrigued. The book depicts a young man wrestling with some big questions, approaching a guru intending to debunk his theories. What happens next, as click-baiters would write, is amazing!

Finite & Infinite Games—I don’t think I was in the right headspace for this book, but I have promised myself to revisit it.
