The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing’s going to get better. It’s not." This story inspires me every time. It beautifully illustrates the danger that corporate greed poses to nature and reminds us how it takes the courage of an individual to defend those who can’t defend themselves. Such a simple, yet powerful message.

Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success

Between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls, Phil Jackson won more championships than any coach in professional sports. And while the stories of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal are fascinating, what I found most insightful were the lessons of authentic leadership and selfless teamwork.

Steve Case | Simon & Schuster, 2017 | Book

The Third Wave

This is a roadmap for the future. Part memoir, part manifesto, Steve Case puts forth a clear and compelling case for why new companies will have to rethink the way they do business. From their relationships with customers and competitors, to how they collaborate with governments. The Third Wave offers wonderful advice for anyone building for tomorrow.

Talk about eye-opening, this fascinating documentary will take you to a place few have seen - the world’s largest landfill. Located outside Rio de Janeiro, Jardim Gramacho is a place where men, women, and children pick garbage for a living. Contemporary artist Vik Muniz works with the "catadores" (those who sift for recyclables) to produce enormous portraits of these people, while learning about their daily lives living in the trash.
