What they’re reading

The first quarter of the year is almost over, have you achieved your reading goals? How many books have you read so far?
As an executive who works from home and with two young children, I felt that having a target was setting up myself for failure. So at the beginning of the year, I set to read more than I did last year. So far, I have read seven books.
‘Brands on a Mission’ by Dr Myriam Sidibe is on how brands can achieve social impact and business growth. Every marketer should read this and listen to her TedTalk, ‘The Simple Power of Handwashing.’ ‘My First Time’ by Janet Mbugua is another book that I have read this quarter. As a woman and a mother of girls, this one hit close to home.

As you may have heard by now, Elon Musk has been named at the world’s richest man; eclipsing former title-holder Jeff Bezos. As Bloomberg reports, Musk’s net worth has bumped up 4 per cent to a colossal $188.5 billion ($1.5 billion higher than old mate Bezos). Now, setting aside the fact that literally no-one needs to be a billionaire and that money could be used for far more important causes, the achievement is quite a sizeable one. Though, it has been a trend through the Coronavirus pandemic that billionaires have grown richer while much of the rest of the world struggles.
