Ode to Vancouver - a mix of 15 amazing tracks from local Vancouver artists (and a few from BC but we consider them our own), including Said the Whale, The New Pornographers and Mother Mother. 

The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success - from The Go-Giver

There are many reasons why I like to read, but one of the main reasons is to challenge my thinking - to help me see things in a new and sometimes entirely different light. 

That’s why I really appreciate (and am constantly seeking out) Seth Godin’s work - I can’t think of a book that has challenged me as much as Linchpin did.

But this is not about Linchpin (I’m pretty sure I’ve already covered that), this is about two exceptional books that I’ve recently read: The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann and We Are All Weird by Seth Godin.

If you enjoy challenging traditional thought on the ways to succeed in business - and in some respects life - then I highly recommend both of these books. Each can be read within a couple hours and believe me - you won’t regret it. 

It’s works like these that leave a mark and change forever the way you view your place in this world and the impact you can have.

Happy reading.
