Hello! I’m new to the philosophy space. New as in I’ve been into the philosophy meme pages, listen to some ok podcasts, but want to actually read some books. But I’m a bit reluctant to start cause I’m “not a reader,” any light starter recommendations?

Considering leaving to take a partner position at a small firm. Is it worth it? Would only be 2 partners with a staff of 10. Comp would be 250k on the low end and probably top out around 350k. Would take 3-4 years to get to this level of comp as would be buying 10% per year up to 40% of the firm. Am I stupid for not taking this? Currently manager making 125k. Comp first year as junior partner would be 120k with 10% ownership.

Question: I’m new to all this so sorry if this is so obvious. How often do mid to large size agencies contract work out to smaller ones? And what’s the best way to go about starting that relationship?

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

Additional Posts in Philosophy Bowl - Principles For Life

Welcome to the Philosophy bowl! The goal of this bowl is to discuss principles in philosophy that we can apply to our lives and fortify ourselves for life using our collective knowledge. It is also to help one another as we all struggle at different points in our lives. Personally, philosophy has served as my northern star that I use to navigate through life’s storms. Hope you all enjoy and please share this bowl with anyone that you believe will benefit. I will be posting later today
