Reading #

Currently reading Onassis - An Extravagant Life by Frank Brady. It's a biography on Aristotle Onassis, business tycoon and eventual husband of Jackie Kennedy. I'm only about 10% way into it but so far it's very interesting. From a life of extreme privilege to emigrating to Argentina essentially on his own to start all over after war tore through Turkey.

Travel #

Spent about 6 weeks in Europe to visit my oldest daughter. My youngest also joined us for a few weeks out there. We spend Christmas and New Years together as well. Cities we visited were:

Madrid, Granada, Sevilla, Jerez de la Frontera, Valencia, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome and Naples.

I've been to most of these before but for various reasons we wanted to return. Naples is a must visit for me anyway any time I'm in Europe. Definitely my favorite European city.

Is busy at the moment. A nice, but stressful, change.

Podcasts #

I listen to a few podcasts. They can change at times but for now, these are the ones I'm currently listening to:

  • My First Million - I LOVE this podcast. The title sounds cheesy but the pod is not at all. This is probably the best podcast I've found in terms of actionable business advice and talk that's spoken in a natural way. Almost like I'm just talking shop with my friends.
  • Swindled - Never gets old. Such a good podcast.
  • Heart Starts Pounding - Great story telling. True crime mixed with eerie events.
  • How I Built This - Great show but I usually skip half the guests just based on my interest in the company itself that's being covered.
  • Tim Ferris (I actually skip majority of the episodes but sometimes there's a guest I'm interested in).
  • Business Wars - Cool podcasts about companies fighting against each other.
  • Business Movers - Podcast that tells the stories of how companies went from one phase/stage to the next. Interesting because it covers very large brands and usually their humble origins.
