Fishing is everything to me, and my family has just hit me with a surprise: a birthday trip to a gorgeous lakeside cabin with prime fishing spots. I’m buzzing with excitement. Mom warns me the trip’s a four-hour drive and suggests I grab some entertainment to keep me busy and out of everyone’s hair. So, I head to the library and stumble upon “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson.

That book becomes my road trip buddy, and four days later, there I am in the back of our small Dodge pickup, nose-deep in adventure. I’m captivated. Forget fishing; I’m sailing the seas with Jim Hawkins, hunting for pirate treasure. I’m so engrossed that when we finally reach the cabin, I sneak under a bed to read in peace. My family finds me, but I don’t budge. They can have the fish; I’ve got a treasure of my own.

The Read Well Podcast was born from that nine-year-old bookworm’s spirit. Since then, books have been my faithful companions. They’ve guided me in starting businesses, raising kids, perfecting recipes, pondering life’s mysteries, and more. Through my podcast, I aim to show that diving into a good book, reading slowly, taking notes, and applying what you learn can be life-changing. My mission? To teach people to read slowly, take notes, and apply the ideas.

I’ve spent years refining a simple, intentional morning reading routine, and in this episode, I’m sharing what works for me and why it might work for you.

I’ll walk you through why morning routines are so powerful, what I do each morning, and how this practice has shaped my life. The message is clear: it’s not about what’s in your routine but that you do it every day with purpose.
