Michael Jordan: What do you think about when you make decisions? What’s your thought process?
Warren Buffett: Not much. Whatever my gut tells me, that’s what I do.
Music of the Week
Tord Gustavsen Trio, Marcin Wasilewski Trio, and Bobo Stenson were put on my radar from A Death in Cornwall: A Novel book. All three artists fall into the “Swedish Jazz” genre. I have found all three perfect to have on in the background while reading contracts, reports, and documents where focus is required.
Article of the Week
I’m continually blown away by the growth of the US renewable energy industry. US wind and solar on track to overtake coal this year speaks to the pace at which renewables are surpassing coal. In particular, the growth of solar and wind is going to outgenerate coal this year. This is a stat that less than 10 years ago would have been unimaginable.
Book of the Week
Daniel Silva is out with the 24th book in the Gabriel Allon series, A Death in Cornwall: A Novel. I started reading this series in early 2020. I can’t get enough of the characters. A Death in Cornwall starts when legendary spy Gabriel Allon is contacted by an old friend with the Devon and Cornwall police seeking his help in a murder investigation. The killer’s identity appears to be the work of a serial killer in the area. However, Allon discovers the professor who was killed was looking for a stolen Picasso. Allon helps the case by forging six Impressionist paintings and putting together a team of operatives to solve the professor’s murder taking him to the gates of 10 Downing Street. Pair this book with the podcasts Murder, Greed, and Power with Daniel Silva, #1 NYT bestseller Daniel Silva explains how he keeps it fresh with book 24 of his Gabriel Allon series, Daniel Silva on his latest novel “A Death in Cornwall”, and Daniel Silva’s “A Death in Cornwall”.
