This week's newsletter was made possible by the Shiny Dime Writing Challenge.

It’s a free writing challenge and the winner will get a $1,000 prize AND a spot in David Perell’s writing course “Write of Passage” ($4,000 value).

I’ve learned a ton about writing from David, if you want to level up your writing skills, I recommend signing up.

👋 Hey everyone,

🤓 Course Update:

I injured my knee playing basketball and spent 10 hours in a hospital so that derailed me for a bit this week.

But on a positive note, here’s what Justin Welsh said about my course:

📚 Book Summary:

Instead of a book summary this week, here are 6 incredible books that you can read for free (legally):

📖

1) “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant” by Eric Jorgenson

Naval Ravikant is one of the most respected entrepreneurs and investors of our time. In his book, he shares practical advice on how to become wealthy, healthy, and happy.

It's one of the best books I've ever read.

📖

2) “The Anthology of Balaji” by Eric Jorgenson

Balaji is a fascinating thinker and explores the future of tech, media, politics, countries, and more.

Reading this book is like seeing 10-20 years into the future.

📖

3) "Poor Charlie Alamanack" by Charlie Munger

Charlie Munger was one of the greatest investors of our time.

This book is filled with his timeless insights on investing, business strategy, mental models, and living a good life.

l📖

4) "The Pathless Path" by Paul Millerd

If you feel that you're on the wrong path in life, this book is for you.

You'll learn how to change careers, find the courage to begin a new journey, and design your life in an intentional and meaningful way.

📖

5) "$100M Offers" by Alex Hormozi

Hormozi is the business professor we wished we had in college.

He explains complex business topics in simple terms and makes his advice super actionable.

If you have a business (or selling anything really), you should read this book.

📖

6) "$100M Leads" by Alex Hormozi

Hormozi's second book is just as valuable as his first.

This book will teach you how to get strangers to want to buy your stuff, how to run ads, create better content, find new customers, and much more.

✅ Actionable Advice:

1) Friendly reminder that if you aren’t on Twitter, you can also find my content on Threads and LinkedIn.

2) If you were hoping for a book summary this week, here are a few recent ones:

3) If you can’t decide which book from the list to read first, I’d recommend “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant.”

📖 Reading Lesson:

Stuck on a book and not sure if you should quit it or not?

💎 Weekly Gem:

Alex Hormozi is worth $200M+ and is well on his way to becoming a billionaire.

His business advice is incredible but his life advice is just as good (if not even more interesting).

Think of him like a modern-day Naval Ravikant. Highly recommend listening and learning from Alex.
