The title threw me for a loop but caught my attention. To Give you some background reading was never something I enjoyed doing, being born dyslexic I was unable to read or write. I had a wonderful teacher that worked with me for over 8 years and taught me how to read. But after that, I still never picked up a book until I was 18. With my dying urge to improve myself, I finally was able to get take up the challenge and now I read more than anyone I know. But still have more wisdom to be discovered and implemented only being 3 years into my reading journey I will take your advice to heart. While starting the year getting put on my first salary I will start investing in myself with teachers and mentors.
Anyone else use to/currently keep a running list of books you've read throughout the year? I got really into doing it during 2020 and it fueled me to reading an insane amount of books for a year or so, like Matt talked about. But once I realized it got addictive to a sense, I deleted it, and its been getting a lot harder to read. I definitely agree teachers > books, but anyone have ways to use books as a supplement to learning without it becoming overly consuming?
You've talked about how what got the ball rolling for you was Richard Branson's autobiography but for me, it was Yes Theory, and this semester my university just started a new club called YesUW which I am super excited to be a part of! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for changing my life. I cannot wait to read your book!
Thank you Matt!! I also have a pile of books waiting for me, even I tried to switch genre and bought a ton more like scientific essays and things like that and there they are, waiting for me. It make me feel better knowing that im not the only one who goes through things like this.

Hello to everyone!
I have just subscribed to the podcast.
I so love the idea, the sharing, and the sense of belonging especially to the yes theory mindset.
Hope to see you soon on the next Zoom call.

Today was fire, loved the metaphors and motivation. The song topped it off and just brings a good vibe and good energy. Enjoy your week my friend
