Welcome back!Yesterday, Ryan Healy wrote a post on 12 books that changed his life and encouraged others to do the same. It was an interesting exercise to go back and try to figure out which books actually caused me to live my life differently. I figured if a book only gave me different thoughts, that [...]
I’ve been reading a bunch of different articles about authority and decentralized responsibility lately. In case you’re wondering, none of the following links are affiliate links.
