@Lars-Erik Blenne Lien I just started pursuing other things, really. I got way more into voiceover and found I could do that more often with less equipment. That pizza sounds amazing!!!

Welcome to the community, @David Chimenti! I can't wait to see more from you and learn more about you! What are you reading, now? I am always looking for my next read!

I've been somewhat head down on the MEDDICC training these last few weeks, but have still been finding time to read some spiritual literature and academic pieces. There is a really great scholarly article on my LinkedIn about the G.I.Joe Phenomenon, which states, that simply knowing new information does not necessarily allow us to overcome our biases. I highly recommend that. I attached it below for ease of access for others.
Other than that, I read history books a lot and recently bought a first edition set of "A History of the English Speaking Peoples" by Winston Churchill that I intend on starting when I have my coursework complete.
Can you walk me through what types of literature most interest you?1 -
@David Chimenti I am all over the board. I've been on a "living person's memoir" kick, recently. There's a great one from Drew Magary on his recovery from a traumatic brain injury that he suffered. I do like fiction, of course, but I really like any well-told story, real or fake.
I'm also digging into some books on community building and time management, too. I'm a sucker for that stuff.
1 -
Well, given the conversation we are having right now, I'd have to say the community building makes a ton of sense!
Living person memoirs are great because the story isn't finished yet. You get to pick it up midway and watch it develop as time goes on. It's great to see how others navigate future change, as well.
