That back to back save by Mexico was wild. 😳

Telling an entrepreneur to stop working is like telling an artist to stop creating.

You're not saving us. You're just confused about what we are.

I convinced myself that one soda a month was okay. A splurge of sorts or a reward for cutting it out.

I opened a soda and then opened a Mexican coke tonight and just stared at them. Didn't take a sip.

I need to be better and do more.

Little things add up.

Discipline tastes better than sugar.

I grew up down the street from a train track and, from time to time, would get stuck waiting as the train passed by.

I remember seeing all of the graffiti and how impressive a lot of it was.

One day I'll buy multiple rail cars, commission artists and create a large scale mobile art museum.

The random messages at, literally, all hours of the day that exchange between me and Cherry (bookstore GM).

In reference to online sales. 😂

Raining and in the 40's is near perfect.

In my 100 day challenge I've cut out soda and my go-to late night food binges.

I've substituted sparkling water and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (forgot how much I love these).

But, tonight, when I need to relax and write and work, I'll bring in a few drinks.

Drinking less = feeling more.

I've realized that I think/talk about life in these terms

Middle school
High school
College
After college
Pre-covid
After the pandemic

A travel vlog/series where I visit every bookstore in the world.

Today is Friday and day 13 of trying to do 100 things a day for 100 days towards life improvement.

It caters towards growing the bookstores, but also includes health.

So far highlights include hosting a personal movie club, selling books for a local celeb author, no soda intake and weight loss.

It's 10 pm and snowing and I'm in a line at Dairy Queen trying to get some ice cream along with many others.

Coloradoans are the best.

Your first business will not be the one that takes off.

Nope, not even you.

Do yourself a favor, start A/Any business right now with the expectation that you will fail, but learn along the way.

You can't ride a bike until you learn how to ride a bike.

Today was a 100x100 peak effort day.

No time to tally numbers, but so much change and energy put into moving forward.

Keep going.

Day 7 of trying to do 100 things for 100 days straight.

This shit is tough.

I feel momentum building.

It's all about reps.

Can't build muscle by just talking about push ups and good form.

Put your face in the dirt and shove the earth away from you.

"You own a bookstore and the building!? That's so cool!"

"Yeah, it's pretty great. 🥲"

Day three of being up before 7 and starting to work on things.

Going to sleep before midnight is difficult when your apartment is between two bars.

I see a lot of long naps in these 100 days.

Going to post a daily update to YouTube shorts to document thoughts at the end of the day.

Today I started something possibly stupid, or, stressfully brilliant.

Allow me to share.

For the next 100 days, I'm going to try and do 100 things EVERY day to improve myself and businesses.

One of our books was spotted out in the wild

A child asks about the poison dart frogs at the bookstore. We talk and they get into asking about the scientific names of various frogs to which I happen to be able to answer.

The mom looks at me like, "why/how do you know that"?

It's been a life filled with lives. Right now happens to be books.

Me - right? Wouldn't that be the life? Ugh

Customer - 👀
