Skill Development

VidPT’s skill focus: UX Design Principles, SQL, Google Analytics, HTML/CSS, and FB/Google ads.

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 putting together some PowerPoint decks.

Currently, I am taking a financial modeling course via Financial Modeling Education and am learning Python via DataCamp.

PowerPoint dev slides appear at the bottom of page via my painting.

Books, Blogs, Etc.

Always looking for books that spur new ideas. A few favorites include, but 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 and The Next American Economy by Samuel Gregg

Favorite podcast/blogs: Marketing School by Neil Patel, and I occasionally read articles from Ryan Levesque (huge fan of his book Ask), Andrew Chen, TechCrunch, and NFX. Additionally, I enjoy First Trust Bank’s Monday Morning Outlook and insightful private market trends via Pitchbook, Adams Street Partners, Oaktree Capital Management, and other leading private equity practitioners.
