Why You Need To Read More (Actual) Books

One of my goals for 2026 is reading more. Apparently a few of you are keen to know why, how and what. Great! I got you! In this episode I’m making a case for why you need to read more books, a few tips on how to make that happen, and some context for the 6 recommended reads I posted last week. Enjoy!
