Things I’m consuming

Is it still considered reading, if you’re not actually reading? I think so. Audible has helped me increase the number of books I’m able to ingest. Join Audible and get my audio book for free here.

Reading now:

Made to Stick - Chip + Dan Heath

What Got You Here Won’t Get You There - Goldsmith, Reiter

On deck:

Ego is the Enemy - Ryan Holiday

Bird by Bird - Anne Lamott

Podcasts I’m into

All the Hacks - Chris Hutchins (Wealthfront) delivers just what you’d expect: hacks for every aspect of life from travel, to finance, so many gems here.

2 Bobs - David C. Baker + Blair Enns. High-level strategic business advice from two experienced business coaches. Dense, meaty material.

Modern Finance - NFTs, crypto, DeFI. Bitcoin never interested me, but Ethereum? Smart Contracts? What an incredible opportunity for creatives. This podcast is a new one by Kevin Rose and it’s spurred me to invest in ETH.

Courses I’m taking

Still loving my Skillshare Premium ($69/year) sub. Here’s a few that I’m taking now:

Digital Illustration: Learn to Use Procreate Jarom Vogel. I use Procreate quite a lot, but it’s been great to learn tricks from an adjacent field.

Dirty Design with Aaron Draplin. My hero. Love his teaching style and digital drawing tips.

Form + Color From the Getty (not Skillshare). Beautiful images and thoughtful text from the Bauhaus program.

DID YOU KNOW?

I have a new podcast and YouTube channel. I discovered the FI/RE (Financially Independent Retire Early) movement in the fall of 2019 and I’ve been all-in since then. Together with my good friend Jason, who reached FI/RE in June of 2020, we discuss our differing perspectives on the FI/RE journey.
