I love sharing about resources that I am using to learn and grow. That said, a friend shared recently that, unfortunately, many times it feels like we need to give disclaimers nowadays that we don’t always agree 100% with the author if/when we’re reading a book. Sometimes we read and listen to resources that we 100% disagree with so we can get an understanding of someone else’s perspective. I’m a lifelong learner so you can find me reading or listening to anything…I’m not always fully engaged when it comes to stuff I don’t pick up on my own to consume but you can find me reading car magazines or listening to podcasts about face surveillance (TED Talks Daily anyone?). So I hope that comes across when I share resources that I have used or that have been recommended to me by many people I know.
Now, onto the people and resources!
