Out of a love for learning new things this site originally began as a “learn something new every week” newsletter with authors contributing topical articles based on their area of expertise while promoting their books.
It has since morphed into a general interest website that has broadened its focus to publishing all that is interesting, informative and inspiring. In addition to in-house content (most of it written or reviewed by industry or academic experts) the site also features articles by and interviews with guests ranging from best-selling authors and award-winning filmmakers to leading professors, scientists, politicians and more.
Featured guests have included:
• an early Cold War air defense system programmer and space colonization advocate
• a two-time Cannes official and four-time Toronto official selected film director
• an Oprah Winfrey Network nutritionist whose program has aired in 78 countries
• a Pennsylvania state representative who advocates for the mentally ill
• a world-leading research psychiatrist at the UCLA school of medicine
