Episode 68: Our Favorite Books About Habits

In this episode, we’re chatting about what is probably our favorite topic ever—books! And not just any books… but our favorite books about habits. It’s no secret that we love reading about smart habits and discussing how to adopt them in our businesses and personal lives—so much so that we started this podcast! That's why we thought we should dedicate an entire episode to this topic.

Tune in to hear our conversation about some of our favorite books on creating new habits and how they apply to translators and interpreters.
