Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

The best books are written for one person with a clear narrow focus that they pay off

“Too many books feel obliged to cover a wide variety of topics. This is dissatisfying because you don’t get to learn much. The best books covered limited material.”

People don’t always pay attention to the classics even though modern books often copy them

“This fascinated me because many of the “popular” books were repeating things from the Lindy books.”

Some people want to go deeper and I’m creating resources to help you

“In response to popular demand, I’m going to be offering The element of Inclusion Book Insights. These are detailed breakdowns of books to support you on your Inclusion Journey.”

Here’s some resources so you can go deeper:
