Announcing the first-ever Reading To Connect Day™
I didn’t plan to create a holiday.
I just wanted families to feel safe again—to pause, not perform. To read like it mattered beyond the reading. And when I started sharing our story, something happened.
Parents from everywhere started joining in. Not for a program. Not for a prize.
For a moment.
In this episode, I’m announcing something we’ve been building toward all along—Reading To Connect Day. It’s not a trend. It’s not a hashtag. It’s a return. And this time, it’s happening together.
Key Topics:
- Why “just one moment” might be the most powerful thing we offer
- How a late-night scheduling push revealed a deeper purpose
- The shift from performance-based reading to legacy-based connection
- What happens at 6PM in every time zone on the last Sunday in August
- How you can be part of a global pause—without needing to perform

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
