Kevin at Indigo’s Mount Sinai hospital location!
I love Kevin Marusic.
He’s a book nerd and bookseller and bookstore manager (and moustache aficionado) who runs the Indigo bookstore in the Mount Sinai hospital in downtown Toronto.
Whenever I talk to Kevin our conversation rolls like a river so this time (this time!) I pulled out my cell phone after I walked in and recorded the very first guerrilla style chapter of 3 Books!
And where’s Mount Sinai hospital? Downtown Toronto. Not in the middle of the ice floe pictured.
No prep, no research, no notes, no books read in advance.
In Chapter 44 of 3 Books, join me inside the Indigo Books in Mount Sinai hospital as we discuss how to learn to look at worlds beyond our own, what order you should watch the Star Wars movies in and why, what the dangers are of the ‘pants computer’, why you should separate your phone into tool and toy, why books are magic (new 3 Books value!), and, of course, the incredible Kevin Marusic’s three most formative books.
Kevin’s insanely epic facial hair. Listen for the story behind it …
There are so many nerdy tic-tacs buried in this chat that I am not coming anywhere close to doing Kevin justice.
Trust me.
He is a gem! He is a lover. He has a wonderful heart.
And I am so delighted to share his incredible wisdom with all of you. The world will be a better place if we can all be a bit more like Kevin.
Let’s go!
