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


It is a book that I read probably three times a year, it’s called The Republic and it’s Plato.  It’s very philosophical and it talks about society and the construction of society and how our society works.  It’s a long read, it’s a difficult read.

But once you understand it, it’s like tapping into the Matrix.  Once you understand the code, the world is your oyster.

The Checkout is a short snippet of our conversations.
