Hey there! I'm building my early literacy education consulting business and your channel has recently been gold for me. Facilitating gives me the jitters! I wish I had you as a mentor lol.

Many continued blessings to you and everything that concerns you. 🙏🏽💙

I have listened to the4 hour work week as audiobook.
Worst fashion period with 14ish with Buffalos and raver jeans...

So far i've read rework, anything you want (and hell yeah or no) from Derek. Rework is a great, no-bs straight to the point book, and derek's books are filled with awesome actionable wisdom.
Will look into the rest now (not that i have another 103 books on queue or anything).

when i was 17 or 18 i wore bell jeans
