Summary
RHLSTP Book Club #175 - GoFasterStripe.com - A bit of a different Book Club as for the first time we’re not talking to an author, but an independent publisher - Chris Evans (not that one). Hear the remarkable story of how his business empire began, his unusual business ethos, why he branched out into books, how Andrew Collins almost destroyed everything, why he wants to produce books that look good as well as read good, how he chooses what to publish and why doing something you love is (luckily) more important than making money. What a nice man he is. Should have been our easiest show to record, but had more technical screw ups than I can remember having in one of these. But our incompetence is our charm

So get your tickets now. Go to richsharing.com slash Rahalesterpur. And you can see all the dates. There's a couple in July as well. I'm doing a great which Rick Mail Festival as well, |

| 1:25.4 | It's been a dream of mine to talk to you. |
| 1:28.2 | Yeah, well, it's very nice. We've never recorded a conversation between ourselves before, which is very unusual for me. |
