A Very #BullCon Reading List

Welcome to GetBullish! This article is more than ten years old. It originally ran on a now-defunct website called The Gloss, where Bullish got its start, or its sister site The Grindstone. Everything here was written by humans, not AI (why would you want to read something no one could be bothered to write?) For more recent posts by Jen D., try the GetBullish Blog.

Over the last several years, Bullish has tackled issues related to the workplace, money, entrepreneurship, romance, friendships, travel, gender relations, fitness, philanthropy, and more all-around gentlewomanly ballsiness. Now Bullicorns from all over the world will have a chance to meet at the first ever Bullish Conference in Miami, Florida – and in preparation, I’ve assembled a reading list! For some of us, it might be more of a “re-reading” list, but it never hurts to re-read, refresh, and recharge a classic Bullish column, particularly as we start getting our back-to-school-game on.

All of the articles listed below reflect an aspect of #BullCon: networking without doing any traditional networking, unique approaches to relaxation, and of course, getting productive and planning an empire.
