*** I LOVE this bookstore *** For Episode 476, Steve sits down with Josh, owner of Mad Red Books in Las Vegas, for a conversation about books, curiosity, entrepreneurship, and the importance of keeping people reading. Growing up in a family of avid readers, Josh turned a lifelong love of books into a business built around a wonderfully simple philosophy: books don't do anyone any good sitting on a shelf. With more than 11,000 books sold, Mad Red Books is proving that people most certainly do still read. We talk about rare books and unexpected discoveries, the challenges and fun of running an independent bookstore, technology and AI, and why Josh deliberately places books expressing opposing viewpoints beside one another in hopes of encouraging curiosity and conversation. We also take a research detour into Hunter S. Thompson and his distinctive approach to writing. Most of all, Josh reminds us that a good bookstore isn't simply a place that sells books. It's a place where stories, ideas, people, and community meet. Visit Mad Red Books at 9480 S Eastern Ave #105, Las Vegas, NV 89123 Phone: (725) 267-3338 or online at: https://madredbooks.com/
