Introducing Jonathan Grimm in a pre-pre-release ‘heads up’ about a new author you’ll want to meet right now
Jonathan Grimm’s The Future Poor has not even popped up on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Walmart for pre-sale and already we’re hearing from journalists, authors and community leaders nationwide who have heard a bit about this guy—and want to know more.
That’s partly because he seems to pop up everywhere we turn.
His website for his upcoming book already is making connections: www.TheFuturePoor.com
That’s where Jonathan welcomes future readers with these alarming—and reassuring—words: “The message of The Future Poor matters to millions of Americans who are facing a looming retirement crisis. Want to be part of the solution? Let’s face this together. Sign up for free updates. It will be fun.”
Fun, indeed!
Even though Jonathan’s deeply researched book is somber news about the looming financial crisis that millions of Americans will face at “retirement age”—his overall purpose is to share some good and practical news in our world. His book’s subtitle expresses that hope: How families and communities can join together to survive the looming retirement crisis.
In fact, he is so confident that we can, indeed, come together as Americans to build supportive new networks nationwide that he actually had fun with this idea in an 11-minute video. He and friends produced that short movie for a recent festival of smartphone videos made by filmmakers in southern California. (Where can you see that? It’s featured on his website’s front page.)
Get the idea? I’m writing about Jonathan pre-pre-publication so that our friends will visit his website, sign up for his free emails and we’re also hoping you’ll stop by his podcast hubs as well.
Here’s the Apple hub for the podcast.
And here’s the Spotify hub.
I’m serious: Make friends right now with this wise and creative financial advisor—who blends principles of his faith tradition and scholarly studies of ethics and economics with ideas that just might help a lot of us make it through our final years.
For more about his core theme, take a look at this August 5 column he wrote for the Daily Business Journal, headlined:
Top 5 Reasons Why Retirement Is a Bad Idea
Then, in coming weeks, watch both of our websites—Front Edge Publishing and ReadTheSpirit magazine—because we will have much more news about Jonathan’s compassionate and creative work.
Jonathan has a big heart and an even bigger brain. His hopeful ambitions are simply refreshing in these troubling times.
He truly envisions helping to build a new tidal wave of community cooperation coast to coast. And, right now, the news we’re pre-pre-sharing is that you can connect with him and become part of that effort even before his book pops up in bookstores.
