5. MAIN SOURCE?
(Pointers to articles, blog posts, book releases, samples,

6. WHO’S WHO
• Rather
than list a bunch of books or links, I
wanted to introduce you to people.
• I’mtrying not to play favorites or pimp out
friends, but obviously this list is biased.
• These folks are “thought leaders” and love to
share and collaborate.
• Please don’t think of them as rockstars! :-)
