The Monday Media Diet with Carson Griffith

For RPS, I'm really reading everything. Local papers in Montecito and Palm Beach and Nantucket, British tabloids, big papers like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Financial Times. Glossies like Vanity Fair. Newsletters, Substacks, all of it, including Air Mail, The Love List, The Stanza, Feed Me, Trademarked, and whatever else is floating around.

I decided at age 13 that I would read books to attain wisdom—and I've kept it up ever since. Maybe that sounds absurd when mentioned so baldly. But here's the strange thing: I got all those other benefits—job skills, entertainment, etc.—along the way.
