“Episode” 31 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Alpha Collective’s discord server: discord.gg/alphacollective from 8-9am EST. It’s free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.

Today we did a live book read and discussion of Tom Davenport’s book, “The Attention Economy.” He’s my guest on the show today.

To note: 

1. Chat from today’s episode can be found in cafe-chat channel in the discord and contains very links discussed
2. We are going to move to awarding 100 “regular” roles to the first 100 people who regularly attend our live virtual coffees. Thereafter, it’ll be for entry level and full pass holder members only. Don’t worry, you got this!
