What I Read

Every month I read a lot of articles, I’ll try and add the very best to this page every day I go on a content binge. Hopefully it’ll help you guys keep up-to-date with the kind of content I’m reading, and you can easily follow it too.

This page will be in order of newest first, and will be dated, rarely will a description be given to the articles, normally it’ll just be the title of the post. I’ll also include a “Tip of the Day” in which I jot down advice inspired by my binge.

This page will ONLY be updated when I read a lot, some weeks/months I read very little, others I read a LOT.

Follow me on Twitter to keep up-to-date with my thoughts, content and the material I read, as I share most of it on there.
