Listen to and then gift 60 books.
Consume a minimum of 60 books from a curated list from recommendations by friends, colleagues, and my own research. The books will cover a range of subjects and genres. Fiction and non-fiction. Finance, mystery, who done it, true crime, biography, memoirs, sci-fi, technology, AI, the classics, self-help, spiritual. Everything goes. Then, gift any titles that I find enjoyable to a worthy and appropriate recipient.

Done: Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara
August 4, 2026
Incredible read. Highly recommend. So inspirational and so many practical takeaways. Have shared with my entire department at work and built a strategic offsite for the team to discuss how we can implement some of the concepts in service of our clients.
Done: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
August 8, 2026
This has been recommended many times and in my library forever. Finally listened to it. Did not disappoint. I find the union of psychology, money, and human behavior fascinating. Wish i had read this decades ago. But I guess its not that old. Will pass on the wisdom to my kids I hope. I have intentions this year that should help with that process and that makes me happy. Gifted this one to Macy Brink!
