Hey honeys and hustlers,
Last month, I set out to do something a little wild: read and share 28 books in 28 days. These weren't just any books—they were carefully chosen titles for creators, entrepreneurs, and marketers who want to build something meaningful. I pulled from my personal library, scoured e-books online, and visited my local library to curate a collection that felt honest, diverse, and deeply relevant to the work we do.
The result? 10 hours and 26 minutes of audio across 24 episodes, featuring indie authors, women authors, Black authors, and queer authors—voices that deserve more visibility in the business and creative space. I missed a few days, traveled only within Alabama and Georgia to keep my recording setup consistent, and showed up nearly every day to market these episodes. And honestly? I'm proud of what we built together. Thank you for listening, for engaging, and for being part of this journey. If you want to binge the series, I created a Spotify playlist that you can check out below.
Though this is the end of the 2026 Honey & Hustle Book Club, this is also the start of the 6th year anniversary of Honey & Hustle and Women’s History Month. Let the celebrations begin!
P.S. A compilation episode will be coming later this week!
You can also listen on Apple Podcasts.

Here’s a message from the folks who help keep the lights on.
Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.
