This week’s highlights: San Francisco, Hacking, and Publix
Issue 458
Happy Friday!
Another insane week + poor management of my calendar has left me with little time for reading – as such the Fifteen this week is more like 6.
A return to more normal programming next week – until then, have a great weekend
Best,

My Book:
When Anything is Possible – Wealth and the Art of Strategic Living
The book is about how we shift from focusing on the things we want to avoid, to the things we want to accomplish with our wealth. Doing so requires a person to articulate 3 key items – Wealth Structure, Wealth Identity and ultimately a Wealth Strategy. The book walks through each of these items in great depth, and guides the reader through a process to develop each.
