What I’m Reading
Behave – The Biology of Humans at our Best and Worst by Robert M. Sapolsky
A celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, Sapolsky writes a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do?
It started out a little dark, but has quickly turned into what I had hoped which is a look at how humans work and why they do what they do.
It has over 5,481 reviews on Amazon with a 4.8 star rating. Good read, recommended.
Best price I found for the book or audio version is here >>>
What I’m Watching
Earlier this month the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley Club sat down with Elon Musk at Gigafactory Texas for an unscripted conversation.
Love or hate him, it’s hard to not respect a guy who takes all the money he made and puts his money where his mouth is, invests ever last cent he has in Tesla and Space X, sleeps on the Tesla factory floor with the team to figure out production and save the company from bankruptcy and isn’t scared to get his hands dirty.
In Part 1, they primarily discuss the early days of Tesla and the real story how Tesla was founded and in Parts 2 and 3, Elon opens about his life, failures and successes and his general philosophies.
A three part series available for FREE on YouTube. A must watch!

P.S. Is it crazy for me to ask you to drop us some stars and a short review for the EDGE podcast? It’s quick and easy.
Apple and Spotify allow up to a five star rating and allow you to leave a quick review of the podcast(e.g. “Great business podcast that gives you….” “One of my top business podcasts that always delivers….” “Great Podcast for entrepreneurs that….”)
Subscribing, rating and short written reviews tell the algorithms the show is good and helps others find out about it. This gets more listeners and allows us to keep it free for you.
Thanks for being generous with your time for the support!
