What's one book, an audiobook or a podcast that you recommend?
Well, I don't listen to a lot of podcasts. I read a lot and I listen.
To a lot of audiobooks.

Unreasonable.

Just because something is done one way for a long time, it doesn't mean you can't change it. And I think he. In that book, it really accentuates that, that you can change things. Just have a reason to do it and trust it and do it to the highest ability that you can. Some other books that I listened to right now, like I said, I just finished CS Lewis, Mere Christianity, Pure Faith At All. That's. That's one you should read. It is.
