David Zuckerman (Co-creator/Family Guy) As a showrunner or any kind of artist, you have to know when to stick to your guns and trust your gut, when and whom to ask for help, and how to define and lean into your brand. This book gets to the core of each of those elements in an attempt to help creatives be successful for a long time.

Gunhee Park (Co-Founder/Populum) I just finished up Stranger in a Strange Land, and am also reading Churchill, A Life and The Perennial Seller. I can’t really pinpoint what I expect to gain from any books I read, but am hoping to gain perspective and some valuable lesson that I can take away from each book. What that is exactly is different for every book.

Jake Udell

Founder/TH3RD BRAIN

Jake Udell (Founder/TH3RD BRAIN) Ideas are a dime a dozen, but those who put them into practice are priceless. [In Perennial Seller], Ryan shows you how to become one of "those" through his simple and cutthroat strategy, for what it takes to be a successful creative in the modern world. This book couldn't be more timely!

Marin Gerov

Co-Founder/DULO

Marin Gerov (Co-Founder/DULO) The Perennial Seller by Ryan Holiday is a book I read last year which stuck with me. It teaches the importance of making things that last.

Ricky Van Veen

Co-founder/CollegeHumor

Ricky Van Veen (Co-founder/CollegeHumor) In an era of disposable hot takes, Ryan's writing blends thoughtful and thorough contrarianism with delicious anecdotes to back it up. Perennial Seller continues that tradition.

Robert Katai

Founder/Instagramology

Robert Katai (Founder/Instagramology) Another book that I love reading and I don’t want to hurry this process of reading is Ryan Holiday’s (any R.H. fan clubs here?) “ Perennial Seller” in which he talks about the projects that last in time and have a long impact in the world. Maybe it’s because I also have a few projects I’m working on and I don’t want them to be just trails in the sand that are washed by the sea.
