What GrowthX fam is reading this week?

Big shoutout to Anita (GX8) & Alok Gangrade (GX5) for curating this issue.

I have got some news for you.

When I started solving growth problems, one of the most important factor was the content I consumed. It ensured I get enough perspectives about the problem at hand. This helped me accelerate my learning curve.
