Reading List
These are books that I found value from and are important to read. Check out my full reading list at Bookshop.org.
The Peterson Academy
Founded by Jordan Peterson and his daughter, Mikhaila, is an online educational platform. It offers college-level courses taught by world class instructors from around the world. I’ve taken several classes on the platform and find it’s given me the college education I didn’t get from a “real” school.
If you enjoy learning, The Peterson Academy is an accessible way to do just that. You can read my full review here.
Coursera
Coursera is an online educational platform that helps workers earn certifications to help you launch a new career. The platform partners with major universities like the University of Pennsylvania and companies like Google to learn the skills you need to be successful.
Using Coursera’s jobs database, you can see what careers are growing, how much you can expect to make, and what credentials you need to earn to be successful in that role.
DataCamp
DataCamp is a tech education platform that teaches you skills to work with data and artificial intelligence that you can use in the real world. As more and more companies adopt AI systems, understanding how to leverage AI and navigate data sets will become incredibly valuable.
Readwise
Readwise is a tool you can use to get more out of reading. Install the web browser, link it with your Kindle account, or upload pictures from physical books to create a searchable database of your notes and highlights. I sync Readwise with Notion to keep everything stored in one place.
Ground News
Ground News is a news aggregator that helps you quickly identify bias. The Blindspot feature helps you see how news is being covered and where there are gaps so you don’t miss a beat.
Tiller Money
Tiller Money is a spreadsheet based budgeting tool that I cannot live without. I started writing in the personal finance space and have used dozens of financial tools. Tiller Money is by far my favorite.

reMarkable
I was gifted a reMarkable tablet and it’s been an absolute game changer in how I read articles, track my notes, and plan content. Sometimes I like to do things the old fashioned way and I like how easy it is to take notes without printing a bunch of PDFs.
Opus Clip
Opus Clip is an AI-powered editing tool that makes it easy to clip videos into vertical shorts. All you have to do is copy and paste a URL link into Opus Clip and it’ll create sharable soundbites, add captions, and schedule them to your social media platforms.
Notion
Notion is my preferred personal operating system. It houses my project calendars, editorial calendar, meal plan, and important household information. You can turn pages into public facing websites making and schedule appointments right from Notion calendar. It’s the best all-in-one solution I’ve found to date.
