I've written about how I approach following people and publications here. This is primarily how I stay informed on things that are important to me.
I also have a podcast specific list here.
Below is an alphabetized list of people who write about wide variety of topics and who I regularly learn from. I've tried sorting them into their primary categories though many of them span several.
Some of them are publications but I generally prefer to follow people over publications.
I'm always looking for more people to follow. Please reach out if you have any suggestions!
