Skill Development
Skill focus during VidPT: UX Design Principles, SQL, Google Analytics, HTML/CSS, and FB and Google ads.
Current: Recently completed the following classes via Wall Street Prep’s Investment Banking Training Courses—Accounting (Crash Course), Excel (Crash Course), and PowerPoint (Crash Course). I learned a ton in the PowerPoint class and seek to leverage and refine my skills by developing some decks over the coming weeks.

Books, Blogs, Etc.
Always looking for books that spur new ideas. Relatively recent reads include, but are not limited to the following: The Power of Habit, Don't Make Me Think, Hooked, The Little Blue Book, The Checklist Manifesto, and Ask. Just finished Purple Cow and started reading The 80/20 Principle. May decided to shift gears and read Ray Dalio’s book.
Favorite podcast/blogs: Marketing School, Moz, Sprout by Neil Patel, and I occasionally read articles written by Andrew Chen and NFX. Additionally, I enjoy First Trust Bank’s Monday Morning Outlook and insightful private market trends via Pitchbook, Adams Street Partners and other leading private equity practitioners.
