Hola.

I tried a lot of things in 2019.

A lot were meh. Some good. Only a few great.

Here are my favorites from the year…

📚 [Books]

• The Secret Race - Tyler Hamilton
• Beat the Reaper - Josh Bazell 
• Being Nixon - Evan Thomas   

🔍 [Articles] 

• What Really Happens When You Become an Overnight Millionaire?. Lots of insights on staying humble and the challenges of success.

• Satya Nadella email to employees on first day as CEO (2014). I love how he focuses on ditching the past and really unifying the company.

• A Balanced Approach to Growth. Innovation vs. optimization with company growth.



• Amazon Prime History. Love how risky their team was on doing this...while it seems obvious it was a much bigger bet that they were willing to take.
