Chris McCarthy Middle-earth, without hesitation. I’d want to walk through the golden woods of Lothlórien, share a quiet pint at The Prancing Pony, and stand at the gates of Minas Tirith just to see them open. I think I’d spend most of my time listening to the stories of its people — because in Tolkien’s world, every path, every ruin, and every song has a history worth hearing.
Chris McCarthy This summer I’m diving into Radical Candor by Kim Scott. I love books that challenge how we lead and communicate, and this one’s all about balancing direct feedback with genuine care — something that resonates deeply with the themes in my own writing. My own book, Tilt, explores similar territory through the lens of poker and decision-making under pressure, so I’m curious to see how the insights overlap and contrast.
