What I learned from reading The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to His Son by John D. Rockefeller.
All the way back in 2019, I received a message that changed the direction of this podcast forever.
It was from Tristan, who is one of the co founders of Readwise.
He said, hey, I love the podcast.
And he told me about the readwise product.
I responded, thanks, Tristan.
Love the idea behind readwise.
I will definitely check it out.
I had no idea that I would become a super user of his product.
And so over the years, I've added my highlights and notes for over 300 books.
I have over 20,000 highlights and notes for the books that I read for the podcast.
And because I can search every single thing I've ever done, I use readwise every day.
I never close the browser tab.
The tab on readwise is always open because as I'm reading, as I'm thinking, as I'm researching, I'm constantly going in and rereading all my notes and highlights.
And you might already know this, because every other podcast I go on, I talk about readwise.
I tweet about it, I post about it constantly.
I've been saying for years it is the best app that, that I pay for.
And because I go around shouting about how great it is from the mountaintops, I get a bunch of messages nearly every day.
People have asked me, hey, is there a possibility that I can actually get access to your read wise?
And this happened so much for so long.
And I thought it was like a superpower of mine.
