Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr by Ron Chernow
Love the heuristic that stories that have been around for 100+ years are worth reading about. Not many names have stood the test of time like Rockefeller's.

The Overstory: A Novel by Richard Powers
The only fiction book recommended to me at camp. I love reading fiction and I think it is super important. I always read one fiction and one non-fiction at any given time. Imagination needs to be exercised!

The Messy Marketplace: Selling Your Business in a World of Imperfect Buyers by @BrentBeshore
The first book I picked up (and already finished!) after camp. An incredible reference guide to private sellers and a good resource for buyers too.

In addition to the above book recommendations I was also told to check out the following:
The writings the @adventur_es team has put together on the world of lower-middle market private equity. There is a reason these guys are the thought leaders in the permanent capital world and their writings are a great resource.

Anything written by @matt_levine. Seriously I was told that if this guy writes it, I should be reading it.

@EconTalker's interview with @jerryzmuller on the Tyranny of Metrics
Listened to this pod last week. Fascinating discussion on the dangers of an over-reliance on metrics in the absence of judgment.

My Dad Wrote A Porno Podcast
I was told this podcast is so funny that I shouldn't listen while driving because it wouldn't be safe. If that isn't a glowing rec for a comedy podcast I don't know what is.
