At Equita Financial Network, we’re constantly sharing resources, advice, inspiration, and support so we can run our firms better and succeed. So when we told our member firms that we wanted to write a blog post about the best reads and listens on finance, business, leadership, and creativity, they jumped on board and sent us their recommendations.
