Paul Akers introduces us to his new book, Lean Health, which tells the story of how he went from average health to exceptional health in just one year. The secret it to treat your body like it is a Ferrari!

Jaclyn, a third year Electrical Engineering major at UCLA, sent us this video and said, “I was an intern for Clark Construction this past summer, and my mentor recommended your Two Second Lean book. I really enjoyed reading it, so I want to thank you very much for introducing me to Lean concepts. For my final intern presentation, I was told that I could make a five-minute presentation on anything I learned during my internship, so I decided to center my presentation around Lean principles and how my team integrated Lean into our day-to-day routine. Also, I am in an a cappella group and really enjoy singing, so I decided to make it into a music video.” So cool!!!
