Thank you to everyone who has read, subscribed to and participated in the Op/Eds or podcast so far. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback this year. Some of the best are compiled below for your enjoyment.
Please - Feel free to share the links and send around to people you know if you think they’ll enjoy too!
Book Recommendations
Always love a good book recommendation. I finished one already with the other on deck. A few summaries and thoughts of my most recent reads will be coming soon.

Not sure you have a ton of reading bandwidth these days but I’m reading this book on sales and it’s excellent!
— Jim P.
I read it and liked it. I think it’d be a timely read. Basically about building your skills/career to eventually do whatever you want
— Jim P.
Jobs & Networking
Received a lot of congrats on finally getting a new job after a dry spell. Also, was able to submit two Traderdads subscribers as referrals to the same company I’m now with. Waiting to hear back on the decision to interview/hire

Congratulations!
Super Happy for you and your family!
Impressed you found something so quick. The market is rough all over these days
—Various Subscribers and Followers
Staying Humble
Some critics cannot be pleased but every so often you crack the code and even they admit you were on to something.

I actually read it last week. It was good.
—My Wife
Answering the Call
Happy to talk with anyone who is interested in a sit down. Ironically, nearly all financial services professionals are unable/unwilling to be on the record for a discussion — which I understand — but honestly, what are you going to say that will get you in trouble?

Just finished reading your most recent blog and see that you’re looking for podcast guests. Now that you’ve stepped into the world of public education, have you considered a veteran educator who’s been in the field in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s and still going to share some anecdotes, parallels, comparisons and contrast to your current experience? It could be a lot of fun!
— Mary
Fatherly Advice
Happy to see some people are getting new perspective, ideas and some comfort as they traverse the world of parenting.

This morning’s post was particularly relevant to my near future. As I was fumbling with the car seat base last night I even said to [My wife] “I’ll bet [Trader Dads] could install this thing blindfolded”!
Also, what’s with those socks they wear— do they track biometrics?
—Jared M.
I’m In Demand
Last but not least, I’ve developed quite the cult following of other small business entrepreneurs who are clearly hustling to make their ventures successful. Godspeed in their endeavors.
