## Resource

Returning after a bit of an absence from the podcast but there's been a very good reason... I've written a book! It's a book that's been in the making for over 20 years and I seized the opportunity to write it during a slightly quieter period earlier in the year. I'm delighted to be just a couple of weeks away from publishing it and wanted to share some of the key messages from within the book in this 'reconnect with the podcast' episode! If you would like to preorder a limited edition signed copy visit the website: https://bygeorgeanderson.com/design The book will also be available on Amazon and eventually Audible too.
