[Jordan](http://www.jordanraynor.com/) is living a life that intrigues me. A politico and digital guy, he started a real company.

The lessons learned in this book are presented in nice packages: short, detailed stories, and of general application. It's worth reading.

My rating: [4 of 5 stars](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/985528402)

Concise and personal writing about business always wins with me.
