Current Fiction Book I Am Loving

My friend Denise loves to listen to her books, while I prefer to hold one in my hands. It has been a while since I've truly looked forward to picking up a book, but The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali is pure perfection. I highly recommend it.
And yes, this was the book the bug so rudely interrupted.

Current Non Fiction Book I Am Enjoying

My friend Shannon often shares quotes on her Instagram that stop me mid-scroll. When she started posting from The Overthinker's Guide to Making Decisions by Joseph Nguyen, I knew I had to buy it immediately. I'm already halfway through and the pages are full of yellow highlights and sticky tabs. If your brain also has a habit of turning a simple choice into a full committee meeting, this one might be for you too.

Easy read and really powerful.

A Quote On Courage

There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask, "What if I fall?"
Oh, but my darling,
What if you fly?

A Free AI Workshop with My Good Friend Jenny Blake

One area where I do not feel brave (yet) is AI. My good friend Jenny Blake is hosting a Free AI workshop Intro to Agentic AI for Solopreneurs: Claude + Notion Custom Agents.

The event is on Thursday April 23rd at 10 am - 11.30 am EST

I just signed up and you if you are interested, you can learn more here.

PS: I just asked Claude what agentic means :) Here is what it wrote:

Agentic refers to AI systems that can take sequences of actions autonomously to complete longer-horizon tasks — rather than just responding to a single prompt. An agentic AI can plan, make decisions, use tools (like web search or code execution), and chain multiple steps together to reach a goal, often with minimal human input along the way. Think of it as the difference between asking someone a question and hiring someone to go handle a whole project for you.
