The Thrivalist Podcast

If you’ve listened to previous episodes, you know that Jamie is an avid reader and a recall machine. So, we thought… what if we took some books from the top of his list and just recorded some audio book reports. And if you just got triggered by the idea of “book reports,” just hear us out. We want to redeem that idea.So, today, we are launching our first episode of “Book Reports,” which will be a series of episodes intermittently inserted into The Thrivalist Podcast regularly scheduled episodes.First up is a book called, "Resilience: Hard Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life" by Eric Greitens.
