How to Read Books: From Choosing the Right Title to Knowing When to Quit


Carrie is back this week with a solo episode diving into business books! And don’t let that scare you if you’re not a huge book person; Carrie takes that into account and gives practical tips even if you don’t want to sit down and read a book cover to cover! Carrie tells us how to actually find relevant business books, how to vet books, and how not to get swept away by an idea. It can be super helpful to take notes, and Carrie breaks down her system for that. Full show notes at LocalistPodcast.com.
