2020 was a content-filled year for The Brainy Business: 52 podcast episodes (we hit a 1/4 million downloads this year!), 18 articles on Inc, two television appearances, I finished my book (WOO!) which comes out later this year, began teaching for the Certificate in Applied Behavioral Economics at Texas A&M University, and enjoyed countless interactions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and (the now award winning!) YouTube channel.
In case you missed any of it…I wanted to share the top lists of 2020: most read articles and most downloaded episodes. Have you read and listened to them all yet? Did your favorites make the lists? Let me know on social media (links above) and I look forward to continuing to create and share all the content with you in 2021!
