5 Bullet Fridays
Tim Ferris is my virtual mentor right now. I’ve read all of his books and am an avid listener to his podcast. I’ve also made a resolution to try and write something everyday. Nominally this would be on my book, but today I’m traveling and probably won’t get that kind of opportunity. So I’m taking…
