A Few of My Favorite Newsletters

I LOVE to read! On any given day I’m scanning through multiple articles, a book, and some research. The biggest question, how do I know what is relevant and up to date? Newsletters are a great way to stay on top of that. In this episode I list some of the professionals I’ve come across that consistently share informative and consistent content. This saves me some work when it comes to setting Google alerts or scouring the internet on topics related to my work.
