What happens when a mom on vacation runs out of books — and realizes her town needs a romance bookstore?
She builds one.
Today, I’m talking with Kelly Vann, founder of Lit Actually, a thriving niche bookstore that’s redefining what’s possible when moms stop waiting for the “right” time.
Inside this episode:
• How Lit Actually launched and sold out events within weeks
• The power of local PR, networking, and showing up where your customers already are
• Curating books that move (and learning from what doesn’t)
• Why your kids benefit from watching you chase a dream
• What to do when fear tries to convince you to wait
If you’ve been sitting on a business idea — this is the sign you needed.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
