Hello There,
I’m Austin.
If we were sitting across from each other right now, I’d probably have a black coffee in hand, a notebook, pen and a marked up book next to me. Not because I am trying to look sophisticated but honestly because I am an unadulterated obsession with growth and innovation.
I believe the right idea at the right time can change everything.
but here is the thing I have learned after reading hundreds of professional development, entrepreneur , and leadership books.
Reading does not change you.
Personal reflection and application does!
That is the heartbeat of HonestShelf.
It is not just a place to talk about books. It is a space for people who are chasing growth. For leaders, professionals and curious minds who want to bridge the gap between what they know and how they actually live.
Each week I will share different reflections from books that are shaping my mindset. Lessons I am testing in my own life and leadership and how I am failing or succeeding. Honest thoughts around personal development. The real honest messy ones not the motivational poster kinds. As well, you will receive book recommendations that are genuinely worth your time.
My hope is that HonestShelf becomes more than a random blog or newsletter but more of a conversation. One where ideas are explored and we can guide each other to our greatest potential. Where curiosity matters more than perfection.
If any of this resonates with you, I would love for you to stick around and interact. Join in on the conversation and let us grow together. One honest page at a time.
Cheers friends,
Austin
