FURTHER READING (Disclaimer: I get a commission every time you purchase a product through my affiliate links below). This book in particular has been a fantastic resource in my research before I interviewed Richard Noble. If you want to know more detail about Thrust 1 than we could cover in a 13 minute video, Richard tells the whole story here. Highly recommended!
