Like I wrote in our Top ten ranking today, we’d finish up this series by listing Dave Bryan and my personal Top 100 lists. I’m sure looking back, both of us would make changes to it. And knowing we were going to collaborate, I don’t think either of us – or at least, I didn’t – went through our personal ones with a fine tooth comb. But since several of you asked for it, here are our attempts.
