Former PTBOCanada Owner Releases New Motivating Book With StudioPTBO

Former PTBOCanada owner Neil Morton is doing well for himself.

He and Cody May, StudioPTBO C.E.O. have released their new book, “What if you Could? The Mindset and Business Blueprint for Your Life of Purpose” on Monday.

The book gives its readers an energetic blueprint and template to live your best life. It could bring an idea to life, pursue leisurely goals or anything to help maximize your life without bringing negativity according to Morton.

“A lot of us are wired to think we can’t do things when human beings are actually capable of amazing things,” he said. “‘Why can’t you do something?’, if you have that mindset, you can crush anything.”

The book was a project on Morton’s bucket list that he wanted to cross off. The timing for the book’s release could not be more perfect since Canada is opening up from the pandemic with no better opportunity to go for it Morton explained.

“One of the big messages of the book is to go get it now and just do it,” he said. “I know it sounds simple but so many people have that mindset now. That we’re not just going to survive but thrive.”

Readers have already received their book pre-orders and gave the authors overwhelming positive reviews.

“So far, the feedback has been phenomenal,” Morton exclaimed. “We’ve been using the hashtag #whatifyoucan. It’s been incredible.”

The former owner of PTBOCanada makes numerous references to Peterborough in the book. He cites his deep local connection with the city and why he moved back home after living in Toronto for many years.

The book is currently available on Amazon for Kindle, Amazon for paperback and Barnes & Noble paperback. The book will soon be available in the Peterborough Public Library and Trent University’s Bata Library, Morton’s alma mater. He is also working to get the book sold by Chapters in Peterborough as well as other local book stores.

Morton had co-founded PTBOCanada with Evan Holt in 2010. It was sold to current owner Kirtus Evoy in March after owning the business for over a decade.
