My good buddy, fellow woodworker and Lean maniac Brad Cairns will be speaking at the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) in Atlanta on August 24-27, 2016.  Brad’s session is called Kick Ass Lean and I can guarantee you won’t want to miss it!

Paul Akers decided to separate out Paul Akers Channel from FastCap’s Channel. So if you want Paul Akers (e.g., 2 Second Lean, Lean Health, Lean Travel, Lean Hub, The American Innovator, Paul’s Crazy Adventures, etc.) go to the Paul Akers Channel. If you want information of FastCap and all our innovative products, go to the FastCap Channel.

Paul Akers was a guest on the Heart of Business Podcast today. Check it out.

Often when I read books, I’m not quite sure what the author’s main point is, so I find myself racking my brain to figure out what he or she is trying to communicate. This can be frustrating and time-consuming, so when I write, I want my meaning to be as clear as possible.

To make it easier for my readers, I try to include a section that explicitly summarizes it into just one simple concept. For example, in my first book, 2 Second Lean, the goal was to teach the reader to “learn to see waste.” In my second book, Lean Health, I said I wanted you to “treat your body like you would treat a Ferrari.” With Lean Travel, I want to show you how to “travel light and with a grateful heart.”
