Hello, My name is Mentor, I currently live in Vermont. I'm really interested in RE inventing, I want to start as soon as possible, but I want all the education I can get first. If anybody could link me to any great RE books, podcasts or how or where I should start, just basically starting, then growing. I really want to be successful, as everyone does. Thank you!
