Matt Karamazov has already accomplished multiple lifetime’s worths of achievements.

You’d think the topic of this conversation would be about his experience as a world heavyweight boxer, a natural bodybuilder, nightclub bouncer, professional writer, or successful music label owner…

But no… On top of all that, Matt decided that he would take on the mammoth task of reading 1000+ books!

And he doesn’t just read them. He makes detailed notes on them too.

Since this episode was recorded, he has accomplished the goal of reading 1,000 books and has now extended it to 10,000.
