Dan McDonald
This month, Dan recommends “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell. This book is a great read about how things that start small can really explode in society. When does a simple concept turn to a mass phenomenon? If you're looking for a page turner that gets you thinking about how everything is just one small change away from being the next big thing, check this one out!
Tricia Houston Tricia recommends subscribing to Billy Oppenheimer's SIX at 6 newsletter. Billy's 6 things that he learned, thought were interesting, or found useful are always a fun read! It's a delight for Tricia to see it land in her inbox every Sunday and leaves her with a lot to think about.
