I believe that everything we do has some sort of knock-on effect. When you quit something, you're much more likely to quit again, so the goal should always be to avoid it as much as possible.

I very much enjoyed chatting about this and other running lessons with @iRunningBen https://t.co/y7Rm6jvqQD

[Benjamin Kaplan @iRunningBen]

@HertzBarry NO! There's gotta be something better to do!
GO TO THE BEACH!

On Nov. 25, Toronto has a new Family Day: Join me and @elamin88 at @HotDocsCinema for a ride-or-die evening full of Vin and vigor as we discuss my new book WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS. Tickets are going, well, you know: https://t.co/C69E21eASX

Looking for sources for a dream new story in the @globeandmail about the Return of the High School Jam Band. If your kids are rocking in the garage, looking for a stage to play, please send them my way: a tribute to play, independence, and growing up making music to feel free.

Recently learned that Cineplex, and many other exhibitors, are experimenting with "booth-less" cinemas. Which led me to recall my own experiences as a (terrible) teenage projectionist, and what happens when we lose such a long-romanticized space. https://t.co/qvA0re9UU7

New: After nearly $10-million was stolen from FACTOR's Scotiabank account last year, I spent months sifting through court documents trying to figure out how it happened

I borrowed this great book from my favourite library @VPL and you should definitely check it out as it covers such an important topic we should all know more about!

[Pavan Sodhan @PSodhan]

Whether it was the meddling of elected officials, the intense competition over resources & storefronts or the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the book highlights how the industry has experienced a roller-coaster ride of booms & busts over the past decade

5/5

[Pavan Sodhan @PSodhan]

The hard-charging founders, lawyers & financiers were singularly focused on cornering the market but the line between smart investment & risky speculation was routinely blurred with the author using his access to the main characters to showcase their successes & failures

4/5

[Pavan Sodhan @PSodhan]

Beginning with the progress & roadblocks that marijuana has faced in the country over the past century, the book reveals the economic, political, cultural & public safety factors that were considered by the public & policymakers until Trudeau legalized the substance in 2018

3/5
