Aileron’s founder, Clay Mathile, was a lifelong and voracious learner who had a strong appetite for growth; often times, he turned to reading as the pathway to that growth. Clay was known to seek out books that challenged him and enabled his own continuous self-improvement, often looking to learn from accomplished leaders and entrepreneurs who had documented their own learnings in published books. Below is a curated list of the books that made the biggest impact on Clay’s career and life.
Many of the books Clay read and found value in are available for our community to rent and read in our Info Commons; the next time you’re on Campus, spend a few minutes perusing the Info Commons shelves for a book that might inspire the next-best version of you or your business.
Continuous education and self-development were just one chapter in Clay’s remarkable story. Read about his devotion to family, his commitment to entrepreneurial education, his legacy at The Iams Company, and more at ClayMathile.com.
