Jeremy’s Recommended Reads

We created this recommended reading list based on the books that have had the most impact in my journey. An industry friend of mine, Jim Roddy, (2 Time Author) has been publishing his recommended reading list for some time. His books are linked here. He also publishes a book summary of anything that makes his list. I am certain you will find many of the same books on both lists as he and I collaborate often on the books we enjoy and learn from.
