Friday’s List | December 9
Friday’s List: December 9

Here are the things I’m reading, listening to, loving and wrestling with:
Here’s what I’m reading right now:

Simply Brilliant: How Great Organizations Do Ordinary Things in Extraordinary Ways by Bill Taylor, This is a read and then read again kind of book.
Here’s what I’m listening to:
