If you want more out - pour more in .

I’m recommending these three books for Leadership Freaks. 
Reading is one way to pour into your leadership.

I’m curious by passion and profession. My favorite part of Sesno’s book is the eleven categories of questions he explains. He even convinced me that there’s a place for yes or no questions*.

  1. Diagnostic questions.
  2. Strategic questions.
  3. Empathy questions.
  4. Bridging questions.
  5. Confrontational questions*.
  6. Creativity questions.
  7. Mission questions.
  8. Scientific questions.
  9. Interview questions.
  10. Entertaining questions.
  11. Legacy questions.
“Questions help us break down barriers, discover secrets, solve puzzles, and imagine new ways of doing things.” Frank Sesno

Story Brand isn’t simply a book about branding. Miller helps readers clarify what they actually do. Clarity is power. I’ve read this book twice and will refer to it in the future.
My favorite part of the book, other than for helping me find clarity, is Miller’s explanation of compelling stories. Your story is compelling when:
  1. You win some sort of power or position. Superhero stories illustrate this type of narrative.
  2. You connect with someone or something that makes you whole in a new way.
  3. You experience some sort of self-realization or insight that makes you more fully you.
Leaders create compelling stories.
Amy’s explanations of how posture, behavior, and environment impact thinking and attitude were fascinating. She’s famous for explaining the power of the Wonder Woman pose. Her Ted Talk, “Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are,” has been viewed over 44 million times.
My favorite part of Cuddy’s work is how she weaves her personal tragedy into the book.
What leadership books might you recommend?
P.S. Branding and presence weren’t interesting to me until I read Storybrand and Presence.

THE BITCOIN BTC

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a payment system [14] :3 invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto . [15] Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, [16] and released as open-source software in 2009. [17] There have been various claims and speculation concerning the identity of Nakamoto, none of which are confirmed.

[14] :4 These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain , [18] which uses bitcoin as its unit of account . Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, the U.S. Treasury categorizes bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency . [11] Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, [19] [20] [21] although prior systems existed [note 4] and it is more correctly descr

How to create a bitcoin wallet

How To Set Up a Wallet A “wallet” is basically the Bitcoin equivalent of a bank account. It allows you to receive bitcoins, store them, and then send them to others. There are two main types of wallets. A software wallet is one that you install on your own computer or mobile device. You are in complete control over the security of your coins, but they can sometimes be tricky to install and maintain. A web wallet or hosted wallet is one that is hosted by a third party. They are often much easier to use, but you have to trust the provider to maintain high levels of security to protect your coins. There are four main wallets that we recommend for beginners. Coinbase Sending coins with Coinbase Coinbase is a web wallet with a simple design and a number of very useful features that make it excellent for beginners.
