In this Frequent Flyer post, I share Amazon Books I Purchased, Frequent Flyer Articles I Read, Recent Points With Q Posts, and Music and Podcasts I Listened To.
Ashlee and I are continuing to spend an extended time in Louisiana with family and no trips planned so my reading volume and podcast consumption are likely to increase, which is a good thing. With that said, I have a few more podcats recommendations than usual as well as books I can’t wait to review in my monthly books list post.

Amazon Books I Purchased
Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World is the book I’m currently reading and nearly finished with. I can’t recommend this book enough! Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity is next on the list. Certainly, it will be a much lighter read compared to Lords of Finance.

On the podcast front, after finishing The Joe Rogan Experience #450 – Cameron Hanes, I listened to The Joe Rogan Experience #1204 – Steven Rinella. Steven is an outdoorsman, author, and television host. He currently hosts “MeatEater” on Netflix and has a podcast called “MeatEater”. Above all, Steven is a fascinating, well-read guest that I’d love to talk to.
