Can you recommend a book or a podcast that our listeners should immediately get into?

I am loving and have continued to love the Acquired podcast.  There’s been a couple of great ones recently.  There was Walmart most recently and there was a super one on LVMH in there.  And I love The Foundr Podcast as well.  I’ve got a bunch of them.  Invest Like The Best is a great one.  And then actually for the weekly update, I do love All In, which is very American and there’s another one called My First Million that I’ve just started listening to and it’s a smaller time version of All In.  

There’s alot to listen to and so much to learn. I love it, I’m a podcast junkie.

The Checkout is a short snippet of our conversations.
