SA1: Read that already. Very good book! Best if you read Outliers by Gladwell beforehand.

How to fail at almost everything and still win big, also a great read by scott adams the creator of dilbert

One that I have on my list is “The Obstacle is the Way”. Can’t say how good it is from experience but it has great reviews

Critical business skills for success. It covers a good chunk of MBA material. Good refresher or first time learning option

Hi 🐠 🐟!
I made solo reservations for Ever and Oriole in early October for Nov 4th and 5th. It's looking pretty dire that I'll be able to get in. Did anyone make a reservation at a Chicago Michelin restaurant and have someone drop out at the last minute? I would love to take their spot.

Thanks in advance!
