Today's episode of Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah is called "Our Favorite Books for Business, Entrepreneurship & Private Practice". 

Annie and Leah uncover some of the top books they have been loving related to having a private practice, and other business and entrepreneurial style topics. They talk about which books they go back to time and time again, and which ones have been on their “to-read” list for a while. 

They also talk about the best and easiest ways to realistically bring more reading into our everyday lives and how to get the most out of them even when reading might be a challenge for us.

Some of these titles are well-known lactation books, but a few of their picks might just surprise you!

“So organize your books, they sit around too long, read them and then when you're done, pass them on and get those great messages out into the world.”

In this episode, we will cover:

• The book you might always refer back to (08:32)
• Books that are better consumed post exams (09:18)
• A book you can return to time and again for motivation (18:53)
• Tips for how to make reading work in your life (20:44)
• The unconventional tech tip for today (22:42)
