My New Book-It! Subscription Box & Big Updates on Building Up

Previously, Building Up started as a blog and newsletter for me to post about things I’ve learned, to help people on their own journey to figure stuff out. Over the last few months, I have been posting consistently to this website and I’m happy to say that we are definitely reaching more readers and viewers since switching to WordPress from Beehiiv. For those of you who have followed me since then, thank you! I’m glad that I have been able to continue this blog to help those who need it, or even just to provide some nice reading material.

Speaking of things I’ve been working on…

A Look Inside the Book-It! Subscription Box

That’s right — apparently running one thing wasn’t enough! A few months ago, I co-founded a new side business with one of my closest friends, Corey Lund. It’s called Book-It!

Book-It! is a monthly subscription box focused on self-improvement and personal growth. Each month, you’ll receive a bestselling book alongside curated self-care items like snacks, cozy extras, and surprise tools designed to help you reflect, reset, and recharge.

Whether you’re working on your own growth or looking for a meaningful gift, Book-It! makes personal development feel fun (and a little indulgent).

You can check out what we’ve been up to and learn more about our past boxes here:

Book-It! – Click me!!!!!

Book-It! is a self-improvement book box subscription delivering hand-picked books, local goodies, and motivational content monthly. Unbox personal growth with every delivery. Available as a one-time box or monthly subscription across Canada.

Just a couple of guys trying to figure out how to read…

What’s Coming Next

To come: how I bought my first house at 23 in the worst financial crisis Canada has seen in decades, what I’m doing and working on today, and what I am excited for in the future. University might give you a degree, but life throws curveballs — and we’ll talk about both. Oh, and if you missed last weeks post where I talked about the rise and fall of Sweet Feet – my small business I ran with my Mum, click here to check it out :).

With that, cheers for reading, and I’ll see you soon.
