The Bomber Mafia

2022-03-27T03:38:50-04:00

By Malcolm Gladwell My quick notes: When I saw this book, I wasn’t sure I was going to read it. I’m a fan of Gladwell, but wasn’t so sure of this topic (It’s different from his other books IMO). BUT, and a strong but, I’m really glad I decided to dive in. It’s a [...]

Three Wise Men

2022-03-27T12:11:38-04:00

By Beau Wise My quick notes: Friend and former guest on the show, Frank Luna, recommended this book, and I’m glad he did.

The Ride of Our Lives

2022-03-27T13:45:11-04:00

By John Gronski My quick notes: Boy, this was a fun and inspiring read. Fun in that the book flows well (I read it in one afternoon sitting), and inspiring in that author John and his wife, Berti, biked 4,000 miles across the USA with their fifteen month old son. It's a story of [...]

By Jocko Willinck My quick notes: Short, sweet and to the point. You'll breeze through this manual in an hour or two. But not without an arsenal of action. Just like the author, this book is a how-to for discipline and action. View on Amazon Podcasts Listen [...]

Grateful American

2022-03-28T03:39:18-04:00

By Gary Sinise My quick notes: You watch a movie and see an actor as a character in that movie. You can often forget (I do, anyway) that they're real people with lives outside of acting. Gary Sinise is not just Lt. Dan. He's a man with a vision to fight for better lives [...]
