MEET THE HOST
For decades, Chris Collins has been a “fixer” in the business world. Now, he’s turning his attention to a bigger problem: making books cool.
Always on the hunt for a life-changing book, Chris hosts weekly conversations with passionate readers from across the social landscape. The show is taped in the Syndicate X Library, Chris’s collection of over 25,000 books in downtown Los Angeles.
Equal parts Marcel Duchamp and Napoleon Hill, Chris is dedicated to elevating a love of reading into a full-spectrum lifestyle– one book at a time.
