The Read Well Podcast I explore extraordinary books and apply their teachings to daily life.

I’m a fan of 3 Goats Gruff in Brigham City, Utah. It’s part bookstore, part antique store.

Check them out if you’re in town.

😱YOU'VE NEVER READ A BOOK LIKE THIS 😱
Unless, of course, you've read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

We're reading this in book club, and it's a mind-bender. The prose is incredible, the philosophy is shattering, and the world-building is off the charts.

If you’ve ever wanted to read (or re-read) a book that makes you stop and think, this is it. Come join the conversation 👉 https://thereadwellpodcast.com/book-club/

Until next time, read slowly - take notes - apply the ideas.

To the 90 readers who’ve helped make this dream a reality:
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support has left my wife and me speechless.

It’s incredible knowing so many people are cheering us on. We’re obsessed with creating the best possible bookstore—for both our in-person friends and our online community.

I’m always asked what my best tip is for getting kids to read. Here’s the answer:

When they see you reading and loving books, bringing books with you everywhere you go, talking about books, and hunting out the best bookstores—they will follow your example.

If you LOVE books, your kids will likely feel the same way.
No forcing.
No reading charts with gold stars.
Just pure love for a good story.

This picture was taken this morning as me and my kiddos waited in line for breakfast in Bear Lake.

What Can You Buy for $25? Turns Out — Quite a Bit.🤯
For twenty-five dollars, you could buy 4 lattes…or a paperback thriller...Or—you could invest in yourself and your reading life. 📚

My 30-Day Focused Reader Course has already helped 287 readers build a daily, 1-hour reading habit that lasts. Here’s how it works:

👉 Each morning, watch a short 5–10 minute video.
👉 Do the simple reading homework at your own pace.
👉 By the end of 30 days, you’ll have a focused, consistent reading practice.

Normally, this course is $30. But through our Kickstarter campaign, you can get it for just $25 (that’s only 83¢ a day).

Get the deal at: 👉
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/edgewaterbookstore/join-me-in-making-edgewater-bookstore-a-real-location/rewards -UmV3YXJkLVVtVjNZWEprTFRFd056QXdPVGN5

Here’s the important part:

✅ Kickstarter is different from a normal store. You make a pledge today, but you aren’t charged unless our campaign reaches its goal by September 19th.

✅ If we succeed, your pledge is processed and you’ll get full access to the course right away.

✅ If we don’t reach the goal, your card is never charged.

So when you back this project, you’re doing two things at once:
1️⃣Investing in your reading life with a proven course.

2️⃣Helping us open a real, local bookstore for our community.

Here’s what past students are saying: 🤓

“The most exciting thing for me is to regain a sense of myself as a serious thinker—an identity long lost but always yearned for.” – Sondra

“I’m just excited that I got to participate in the challenge, and that I got to enjoy reading so much.” – Drew Row

“I bought the analog timer, I use a bookmark as my ‘feather’ to acknowledge distractions, I created a workspace and made it my own. It’s so much more conducive to reading and creativity in general.” – Kimberly Wilcox

👉 Get the course for just .83¢ a day ($25 total) and save a bookstore at the same time.

🔥It’s Unethical to Be Uneducated🔥
By that, I don’t mean everyone should have a degree or work in academia to be a good person; I mean that people shouldn’t speak before knowing the facts. To offer an opinion about something you don’t understand could lead to harm.

Here are a few topics that may cause you to speak emotionally before thinking:

1️⃣ The actions of a political leader like Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin

2️⃣ Abortion, gun control, or immigration

3️⃣ The Israeli/Palestinian war

4️⃣ The HOA rules in your neighborhood

5️⃣ An unplanned culture, religion, gender, or political party dating your child

You likely have opinions on all of these. I have no issue with opinions. What I take issue with is sharing that opinion before you’re fully educated on the topic.

If you want to comment on a “hot topic,” you’ve got some work ahead of you, assuming you care about responding ethically.

As far as I can tell, there are 7 levels we need to experience before it's ethical to open our mouths.

We might have purchased the very first decoration for our bookstore. I know we’re still trying to get the Kickstarter funded, but we saw this and thought of Edgewater.

What can you do?

🪚I’m in the shop today, making something really special—limited edition bookends you can only get by supporting the Edgewater Bookstore Kickstarter. 🎉

Every pair is handcrafted by me and available as an "Add-On" when you make your pledge.

Your support doesn’t just get you beautiful bookends—it helps us open Edgewater Bookstore, a space for readers, thinkers, and community.
