Book Recommendations:
Ishveen reads a lot and specifically recommended Think Again, by Adam Grant. Because she spoke so nicely about the importance of personal growth (available as special Patron-only audio content) and so many other guests also suggest books that fit that category, I’ve started a Personal Growth reading list on our Bookshop page. Find it HERE.
Find all our book recommendations at hearhersports.com/books.
Buying books through our Bookshop page is an easy, significant way to support the podcast. Thank you.
