Every day we live is one less day we have left. For John “Pop” Alexander, that thought is a reason to pay attention—to the work worth doing, the people worth helping, and the moments worth enjoying. In One Less Day, John shares stories from a lifetime of curiosity, business, problem-solving, and projects that somehow became bigger than planned. From lessons learned in a wool mill to restaurant turnarounds and building useful apps in retirement, he brings humor and honesty to both the successes and the rabbit holes. Along the way, he reflects on family, friendship, recovery after a serious accident, and the pleasure of getting back on the lake. This is a personal account of a man who still loves to build—and is learning to think more carefully about what deserves his next day.
