… And so it begins (or “Business Reading for Fun and Profit”)
Back when I worked for someone else, I never dreamed of reading business-related books outside of work. I remember when everyone was reading Showdown at Gucci Gulf and I was like, “NERDZ!”. There’d be no non-required business-reading for me, thankyouverymuch, … Continue reading
