This week, I caught up with a friend who’s an investor at a VC fund. We talked about what’s new and what we think about the state of entrepreneurship. But then the conversation turned to what we’ve learned lately. We shared not only what books we’ve read but also why they added value and what we learned.

The conversation struck a chord with me because sharing what we’ve learned through reading added depth to it. I felt like I walked away smarter and excited to read some of the books he mentioned. Hopefully, he felt the same.

I haven’t had many conversations like this, and I want to have more of them. Talking is different when two people who are avid about learning from reading share with each other. It’s hard to explain, but it’s different. I want to explore this to see if I can have more of these conversations and to gauge whether others are interested in having more of them. Maybe this could be the basis for a niche community?
