Happy New Year! 2022 was intense! I was lucky to be promoted to "Dad" for the second time, which has been amazing. Also, Epsilon3 raised Series A and grew significantly in terms of customers and team. I'm thankful for my family and all that my team accomplished in 2022. I finished 18 books in 2022. I'm disappointed that I managed to finish a fewer number of books than in 2021 (22), so my goal for this year will be to at least get back to the 2021 level if not exceed it. The books I read in 2021 focused on business, parenting, biographies/history, and magic. My favorites from the year: (Business) From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn (Fiction) Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (Parenting) Siblings without Rivalry by Adele Faber (Biographies/History) Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson Here's to a 2022 filled with more reading!

I recently finished reading Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings: How to Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Life by Laura Markham, and I thought it was great. It built on Siblings Without Rivalry and incorporated many ideas from RIE (such as from No Bad Kids). The biggest new ideas I learned from this book were about coaching instead of controlling (I liked many of the sample scenarios and scripts in the book), the importance of daily roughhousing and 1:1 special time, self-regulated turn-taking, and family property rules. My main notes and takeaways are below. I heard about Alisa Cohn from the podcast she did with Tim Ferriss. I recently finished reading her book From Start-Up to Grown-Up: Grow Your Leadership to Grow Your Business, and I really liked it and learned a lot. It served as an excellent overview of many parts of leadership and management and how those evolve as a company grows. I also loved that she had an appendix full of actual scripts for the most delicate situations that are so common. Below are my main takeaways and notes on the book. I highly recommend it to any entrepreneur running a business that's growing. |
