Summer is the best time to relax, recharge, and allow space for creativity and new ideas.

True to our everlearning value, we decided to put together a list of books, podcasts, and courses that we usually recommend to founders to get inspired with new ideas to tackle global grand challenges. While these are wonderful sources to expand your knowledge and learn something new, when it comes to the startup journey, the best way is to go out and do it. Knowledge is only useful when it is put into practice. We hope these recommendations inspire you to take action on your ideas and bring on a positive change.
