The Phoenix Project was a great book and I’m still trying to un-Brent myself.

+1 for the Phoenix Project, but to my demise, when I first read it I looked at Erik and was like: "wow, I want to be this guy" and that was not the best idea.

Have you read the Unicorn Project btw?

I haven't read Unicorn Project yet. I've heard mixed opinions on it. If you've read it, what's yours?
