Spring 2025 Reading List

One of my favorite things about a new season is putting together a fresh reading list.

In the Information Age, I still believe the best ideas are found in books. I especially enjoy reading older titles as the ideas are foundational thinking in them, the kind that newer books build on.

Right now, my two core identities are working in Growth at a high-tech company and diving deep into menswear. I curate my content diet around these two interests. I call it the pi-shaped information diet: going deep in two areas - like the legs of the Greek letter π - while staying broadly informed by reading more general books too.

Here’s my reading list for Spring 2025.
