Books
What I've been reading. Mostly energy, how companies get built, and how people get good at things. If you've read something I should, tell me.
Scott Sheffield gave me this book. It has me thinking about the shale revolution, how critical oil and gas are, and the lengths people will go to for them, particularly in the merger between Pioneer and Exxon.
I read this three months ago. My biggest takeaway was how critical oil is in shaping global power. I loved the Rothschilds exploring for oil in Russia, and how the Rockefellers built American midstream through Standard Oil.
It made me think about how a business should be run. Thiel's view is that you should be a founder and go straight for a monopoly.
It felt like it was describing me, and it made me confident in what I'm doing. It is about experiences that complement each other.
