• I tried to think about a book to recommend and realized that any ad tech book would be obsolete the day it went to print.

So there is a book that I?ve found inspiring in that area and that I?ve read several times and bought many more to give away, and it?s The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz. ?
