What I’m Learning About - II

A rundown of what I’ve been enjoying lately and recommendations if you’re looking for inspiration.

Reading, Listening, Watching

  1. Last month I mentioned that I was listening to Sheila Johnson’s memoir Walk Through Fire on Spotify Audiobook. I finished the book at the beginning of Feburary and enjoyed it overall. Ms. Johnson’s story, for me, was equally inspiring and frustrating because of the struggle of her first marriage.

  2. Some business/product advice in an interview snippet of Mark Zuckerberg: “There’s the famous 80/20 rule where you get 80% of the benefit by doing 20% of the work, but you can’t just 80/20 everything. There have to be certain things that you are just the best at and that you go way further than anyone else on to establish this quality bar and have your product be the best thing that’s out there.”

  3. Diary of a CEO with Steven Barlett, with guest Paul Brunson had loads of good conversation about modern relationships.

  4. Invisible Beauty, a documentary about Bethann Hardison, viewable on Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV. This was such an inspiring documentary about a legendary Black supermodel and her influence on the industry.
