Bold ideas from books you’ll love

I’ve always loved to read and have found I love to write about reading, also. That’s the secret superpower of writing about books: You can write about whatever you want (history, fitness, music … and more) by reading whatever you want. 

My life just runs better when I am doing three things consistently: Read, Write, Reps. Or put another way, reading books, writing about the ideas, and working out.

So if you’re bookworm and a gym rat, you’re in the right place.

Welcome.
