Hey there, This week, I'm sharing a quick recap of my favorite lessons, reads, and shares of the month. We'll be back to the usual articles next week. To be honest, March wasn’t my favorite month. My family came down with the flu, and recovery took longer than expected, so this month’s favorites are short and sweet. If you came across anything great this month (whether it’s a book, podcast, or insight) I’d love to hear about it! Just hit reply and share what you loved. March 2025 RecapRead this on the web | Subscribe ReadsThis month, I read Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff. The main takeaway was that small, low-risk experiments can help us navigate uncertainty, make better decisions, and unlock creativity. It encourages taking an experimental approach to work and life. The Good: This is a topic I've championed in this newsletter for years, so I knew I’d enjoy it. The book delivers practical insights, actionable steps, and real-world examples that make it easy to apply right away. It's a quick, engaging read with clear takeaways. One of the most valuable ideas was reframing procrastination as a signal rather than something to fight and using it as a guide to recalibrate your approach. Chapter 9, which dives into embracing disruption, was my favorite. The Bad: If you’re looking for a deep dive into scientific research, this book leans more on philosophy and practical application side. Also, I wish the chapter transitions had flowed better. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone questioning their next steps and seeking answers. A Highlight: (Side note: I have a Telegram group chat for people who like reading non-fiction books to share highlights and current reads. If you'd like an invite, reply to this email with the best nonfiction book you read last year and what you're reading next.) ListensThis month, I've been binging the Founders Podcast, and it’s been a goldmine of insights. Each episode dives deep into the lives and strategies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs, offering lessons on building, leading, and innovating. If you love learning from history, this one’s worth a listen. SharesIn case you missed it, I shared three new articles this month:
