This week on the podcast, Mark talks to Carol Grossmeyer, former owner of Harry W. Schwartz bookshops and current owner of its sister company, 800-CEO-READ. Carol and Mark talk about the challenges facing brick-and-mortar bookstores, the importance of supporting independent local businesses and what’s next for the company.

This is a special TWO-WEEK Edition of Backstage with Mark Metcalf. Next week, Mark meets Todd Sattersten and Jack Covert of 800-CEO-Read to talk about how a book goes from good idea to bookshelf, what makes a business book great and the future of print publishing.

We guarantee you, it’s a fascinating series, so stay tuned!
