It’s still January

2021

It’s officially the last week of January, and if you’ve already given up on your New Year’s Resolution, apparently you’re in good company. Studies by Strava revealed that the majority of their users gave up on fitness-related resolutions last week. So if you too fell victim to ‘Quitter’s Day’, perhaps this list of pages, place and podcasts can help you press reset on those goals…. it is still January, after all.

Over the last few months, I’ve collected so many amazing recommendations from my beloved circle… and I’m excited to now share them with all of you.

2020 was the year of the podcast for me… below you’ll find some of my favorites, including The Rich Roll Podcast, You’re Wrong About, How I Built This, and a whole lot more.

If you’re new to Rich Roll, check out the Best of 2020 Series. If you love British Royalty as much as I do, check out the 5 Part Princess Diana Series. And if you want to learn about how founders have adapted their businesses in the face of COVID-19, check out the How I Built Resilience episodes on How I Built This.

Looking to 2021, I’m working on reading more books, which will be a lot easier thanks to the wide variety of recommendations from some of my favorite people. For fellow aspiring book worms, the app Goodreads is a new find for me that is helping me stay connected to friends through books (all 2 of them to date…). Currently, I’m enjoying Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi, The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides and The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins.

As always, thanks to all who have shared recommendations of pages, places and podcasts. Keep sending and sharing.
