Welcome to episode #65!
Kwame Spearman and I chat about introspection during the pandemic and immersing ourselves in what's important in our lives, how sometimes there really aren't two sides to an argument, universal truths, community, Denver, and what's new for Tattered Cover Book Store, recently bought by Bended Page LLC, with Kwame as CEO.
Tattered Cover is the largest independent bookstore in Colorado, with five locations in and around Denver and a sixth location planned for Westminster, Colorado, October 2021. They host more than 500 events each year, sell a diverse selection of new and used books, and offer a wide choice of interesting gift items. Tattered Cover is a Denver institution, a community gathering place, and an experience you can't download.
