Quote I’m Re-Reading
Curiosity is more important than knowledge. – Albert Einstein
New Video I Posted
Energy tax credits are valuable economic drivers for renewable energy projects. I posted an energy tax credits video explaining how these tax credits work for homeowners.
Book I Read
I read Meditations: A New Translation by Marcus Aurelius in 2017 for the time and loved the book. I needed a short read on our most recent trip to the Baha Mar so I grabbed this book for our flights. One of the most incredible aspects of this book is that it was written 2,000+ years ago but offers timeless lessons for us all. Meditations is Aurelius’ journal never meant for publication. How he talks about life events is beyond powerful. Aurelius teaches you how to control your thoughts. If there’s a “the best” philosophy book out there this book gets my vote.
Podcast I Listened To
Matt Mullenweg — The Art of Crafting a Sabbatical, Tips for Defending Against Hackers, Leveraging Open Source, Thriving in an AI World, and Tips for Life’s Darkest Hours (#713) is an interview with one of my favorite people, Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress and Automattic, in addition to running Audrey Capital. Mullenweg, originally from Houston, is a jack-of-all-trades and an interesting person to learn from. He’s thoughtful beyond belief, calm, and someone who seems to possess deep knowledge on an array of topics.
Article I Read
Bloomberg’s Matt Levine cracks me up every time I read an article he writes. Financial Engineering for Green Energy is another one of his hilarious pieces to check out.
