book
0:32
author

at
0:50
this
0:50
book
0:51
a
0:51
little
0:51
differently
0:52
because
0:52
of
0:52
the
0:53
association
0:53
with
0:54
ASLAC
0:55
from
0:55
when
0:55

do
1:27
at
1:27
all
1:28
to
1:29
help
1:29
kids
1:29
that
1:29

and
1:32
create
1:33
brand
1:34
experience

a
1:45
special
1:45
connection
1:46
to
1:46
this
1:46
story?
1:48
I
1:48
feel
1:48
especially
1:49
to
1:49
this
1:49
story
1:50
because
1:51
I've
1:52
been
1:52
bombed
1:53
children's
1:53
hospitals
1:54
going

going

chemo
2:02
treatments
2:03
and
2:04
recoveries
2:05
from
2:06
so
2:06
when
2:07
they
2:08
actually
2:08
even
2:08
had
2:10
a
2:10
childhood
2:10
cancer
2:11
team
2:12
and
2:12
I
2:12

2:14
I
2:14
also
2:14
have
2:15
have
2:16
children
2:16
who
2:16
are
2:17
felt
2:17
like

2:18
was
2:18
my
2:18
destiny
2:19
with
2:20
them.
2:21
I
2:21
looked
2:21
at
2:21
your
2:22
website
2:23
and
2:23
I
2:23
loved
2:24
your
2:24
website
2:24
and
2:25
we'll
2:25
talk
2:25
more
2:25
about
2:26
it
2:26
in
2:26
a
2:26
moment.
2:27
I
2:27
love
2:27
the
2:28
fun
2:28
that
2:28
you
2:29
portray
2:29
on
2:29
your
2:29
website.
2:31
I
2:31
always
2:32
like
2:32
to
2:32
talk
2:32
to
2:34
published
2:34
children's
2:35
book
2:35
authors
2:36
about
2:37
their
2:37
children's
2:38
book
2:38
business.
2:39
I
2:39
noticed
2:40
you
2:41
call
2:41
your
2:41
business
2:42
a
2:42
whimsical
2:43
world.
2:44
Talk
2:44
to
2:44
us
2:44
about
2:44
this
2:45
whimsical
2:46
world
2:46
that
2:46
you
2:47
created.
2:47
When
2:48
did
2:48
that
2:48
start
2:50
in
2:50
books?
2:50
For
2:50
the
2:50
past
2:51
15
2:51
years
2:52
and
2:52
along
2:53
my
2:53
journey
2:53
I
2:54
was
2:54
invited
2:54
to
2:55
speak
2:56
at
2:56
the
2:56
same
2:57
day
2:58
their
2:58
named
2:58
Derek
2:59
Taylor
2:59
Kent
3:00
actually
3:00
20
3:01
authors
3:01
there
3:02
we
3:02
met
3:03
in
3:03
school
3:03
I
3:03
was
3:04
speaking
3:04
to
3:04
the
3:04
younger
3:04
elementary
3:05
speaking
3:06
to
3:06
the
3:06
older
3:06
ones
3:07
and
3:07
he
3:08
told
3:08
me
3:09
many
3:10
months
3:10
later
3:10
once
3:10
we
3:11
knew
3:12
that
3:12
day
3:12
he
3:12
was
3:12
going
3:12
to
3:12
marry
3:13
look
3:14
at
3:14
our
3:14
individual
3:16
careers.
3:16
He's
3:17
best
3:17
known
3:17
for
3:18
preschool
3:18
series
3:18
in
3:19
El
3:19
Pero
3:20
and
3:20
has
3:21
written
3:21
many
3:21
books
3:21
since
3:21
then.
3:23
We
3:23
once
3:23
we
3:24
combined
3:24
our
3:24
two
3:26
and
3:26
created
3:27
world
3:27
which
3:28
was
3:28
something
3:28
even
3:29
either
3:30
of
3:30
us
3:30
could
3:30
have
3:30
created
3:31
and
3:32
our
3:32
full
3:32
mission
3:33
Fire
3:34
Delight
3:34
and
3:34
Educate
3:35
all
3:36
ages
3:36
while
3:36
planning
3:37
esteem
3:38
and
3:38
high
3:38
achievement.
3:40
Everything
3:40
we
3:40
do
3:41
the
3:42
live
3:42
experiences
3:44
interviews
3:45
the
3:46
merchandise
3:47
thing
3:48
is
3:48
aligned
3:50
and
3:51
gosh
3:51
that
3:51
seems
3:51
like
3:52
a
3:52
long
3:53
eight
3:53
or
3:53
nine
3:53
years
3:53
ago
3:54
officially
3:55
merged
3:55
everything
3:56
together.
3:57
We've
3:57
just
3:57
been
3:58
upward
3:58
on
3:58
that
3:59
and.
3:59
That
3:59
was
4:00
also
4:00
a
4:00
business
4:01
decision.
4:02
Yes.
4:03
Once
4:03
we
4:04
were
4:04
like
4:04
we're
4:04
doing
4:05
these
4:05
things
4:05
separate
4:06
but
4:07
what
4:07
if
4:07
we
4:07
could
4:07
do
4:07
them
4:07
together
4:08
and
4:09
we
4:09
really
4:09
have
4:10
a
4:10
relationship
4:11
because
4:12
children's
4:12
authors
4:13
I
4:13
know
4:13
it's
4:14
they
4:14
have
4:14
to
4:14
leave
4:14
their
4:15
family
4:15
for
4:15
the
4:15
week
4:16
festival
4:17
or
4:17
they
4:17
have
4:17
to
4:17
get
4:18
up
4:18
super
4:18
early
4:18
to
4:19
but
4:19
nobody
4:20
else
4:20
is
4:20
going
4:20
with
4:20
them
4:21
the
4:21
whole
4:21
family
4:22
we've
4:22
got
4:22
to
4:23
year
4:23
old
4:23
now
4:23
we
4:24
do
4:24
it
4:24
all
4:25
we
4:25
hire
4:26
which
4:27
is
4:27
really
4:28
business
4:29
that
4:29
our
4:30
up
4:30
like
4:31
my
4:32
who's
4:32
three
4:32
now
4:34
at
4:34
festivals
4:35
she'll
4:35
see
4:36
and
4:36
she
4:36
will
4:37
literally
4:38
come
4:38
next
4:38
to
4:39
mine
4:39
and
4:39
pretend
4:39
to
4:40
me
4:41
and
4:41
that
4:41
just
4:42
they
4:43
oh
4:44
people
4:44
they're
4:44
starting
4:44
to
4:45
recognize
4:46
which
4:46
I
4:46
just
4:46
think
4:46
is
4:47
so
4:48
and
4:48
delightful.
4:50
That's
4:50
fantastic
4:51
because
4:51
I've
4:51
had
4:51
guests
4:52
on
4:52
who
4:52
have
4:52
told
4:52
me
4:53
that
4:55
a
4:55
lot
4:55
of
4:55
times
4:56
adults
4:56
are
4:56
buying
4:57
their
4:57
books
4:58
for
4:58
themselves.
4:59
And
4:59
I
4:59
said
4:59
what
4:59
do
5:00
you
5:00
mean
5:00
they're
5:00
buying
5:00
them
5:00
for
5:01
themselves?
5:01
And
5:02
they
5:02
said
5:02
because
5:03
the
5:03
adult
5:04
comes
5:04
up
5:04
to
5:05
me
5:05
after
5:05
a
5:06
book
5:06
reading
5:06
and
5:07
says
5:07
that's
5:08
me.
5:09
I'm
5:09
the
5:09
character
5:10
in
5:10
the
5:10
book.
5:11
And
5:12
I
5:12
thought
5:12
wow,
5:13
isn't
5:13
that
5:13
amazing?
5:15
It
5:15
is
5:15
really
5:16
had
5:16
multiple
5:17
times
5:18
up
5:18
and
5:18
meeting
5:18
me
5:19
in
5:19
person
5:20
and
5:20
cry
5:22
always.
5:22
I
5:22
don't
5:22
know
5:23
why
5:23
I'm
5:24
I
5:24
was
5:24
like
5:24
it's
5:24
okay.
5:26
I
5:26
love
5:27
I'm
5:27
glad
5:27
that
5:27
it
5:27
makes
5:27
you
5:28
happy.
5:29
That
5:29
makes
5:29
me
5:29
very
5:30
makes
5:31
it
5:31
worth
5:31
it.
5:32
Absolutely.
5:33
And
5:33
just
5:33
so
5:34
you
5:34
know,
5:34
when
5:34
I
5:34
looked
5:35
at
5:35
your
5:35
website
5:36
I
5:36
can
5:36
see
5:36
that
5:37
both
5:37
you
5:37
and
5:38
your
5:38
husband
5:39
are
5:39
big
5:39
kids.
5:41
Yeah.
5:42
There
5:43
no
5:43
doubt
5:43
in
5:43
my
5:44
mind.
5:44
And
5:44
you
5:45
know
5:45
what?
5:45
That's
5:45
what
5:45
I
5:46
love.
5:46
One
5:47
of
5:47
the
5:47
things
5:47
that
5:48
they
5:48
say
5:49
Sherry
5:49
if
5:49
you
5:49
want
5:50
to
5:50
live
5:50
a
5:50
long
5:50
life
5:52
is
5:52
and
5:53
maybe
5:54

5:54
who's
5:54
listening
5:55
in
5:55
from
5:55
Aflac
5:56
can
5:56
learn
5:56
from
5:57
this.
5:57
As
5:58
for
5:58
her
5:58
company
5:59
if
5:59
you
5:59
want
5:59
to
5:59
live
5:59
a
5:59
long
6:00
life
6:00
get
6:00
younger
6:01
friends.
6:02
These
6:02
are
6:03
eight
6:03
and
6:03
under
6:03
so
6:03
I
6:03
guess
6:04
yeah.
6:05
And
6:05
that's
6:05
what
6:05
I
6:06
love
6:06
about
6:06
having
6:07
my
6:07
grandchildren
6:08
be
6:08
able
6:08
to
6:08
share
6:09
with
6:10
them.
6:11
So
6:11
if
6:11
you
6:12
could
6:12
tell
6:12
us
6:12
a
6:13
little
6:13
bit
6:14
like
6:14
because
6:15
I
6:15
looked
6:15
and
6:15
it's
6:16
quite
6:16
interesting
6:16
you
6:17
I
6:17
was
6:17
looking
6:17
at
6:18
your
6:18
book
6:18
formats
6:20
so
6:20
you
6:20
have
6:20
a
6:20
hardcover
6:21
beautiful
6:22
hardcover.
6:22
You
6:22
can
6:23
probably
6:23
see
6:23
Sherry,
6:24
I've
6:24
got
6:24
your
6:24
hardcover
6:25
book
6:25
behind
6:26
me
6:26
beyond
6:27
words
6:27
beautiful
6:28
book
6:28
and
6:29
a
6:29
lot
6:29
of
6:29
fun
6:29
and
6:30
we'll
6:30
talk
6:30
more
6:30
about
6:30
that
6:31
in
6:31
a
6:31
moment.
6:32
And
6:32
then
6:32
you
6:32
also
6:33
have
6:33
a
6:33
paperback.
6:34
So
6:35
explain
6:35
to
6:36
us
6:36
your
6:37
strategy
6:38
with
6:39
your
6:39
hardcover
6:40
and
6:40
your
6:40
paperback
6:42
for
6:42
this.
6:43
I
6:43
think
6:44
the
6:45
AFLAC
6:45
was
6:46
to
6:46
make
6:46
to
6:47
as
6:47
many
6:47
people
6:47
as
6:48
possible.
6:49
And
6:49
hardbacks
6:50
are
6:51
but
6:51
they
6:51
also
6:51
have
6:51
a
6:52
higher
6:52
price.
6:53
So
6:53
by
6:54
release
6:55
and
6:55
a
6:55
paperback
6:56
at
6:56
this
6:57
they
6:58
maximize
6:59
families
6:59
that
6:59
would
7:00
be
7:00
able
7:01
the
7:01
book.
7:02
And
7:03
tell
7:03
us
7:03
a
7:03
little
7:04
bit
7:04
about
7:04
that
7:05
relationship.
7:06
Are
7:06
you
7:06
printing
7:07
the
7:08
paperback
7:09
through
7:10
the
7:10
Amazon
7:10
kdp?
7:12
No.
7:13
The
7:13
company
7:14
that's
7:14
publishing
7:14
the
7:15
book
7:16
when
7:16
and
7:17
they
7:18
are
7:18
printing
7:18
them
7:19
all
7:20
just
7:20
like
7:20
them
7:21
the
7:22
same
7:22
company.
7:23
So
7:23
they're
7:23
using
7:24
I
7:24
noticed
7:25
they're
7:25
using
7:25
King's
7:26
Printing.
7:27
Craig.
7:28
Yeah.
7:29
So
7:29
your
7:29
soft
7:30
cover
7:30
and
7:30
hardcover
7:31
now
7:32
this
7:32
is
7:32
with
7:32
beyond
7:33
words.
7:33
No,
7:34
this
7:34
wouldn't
7:34
be
7:35
with
7:35
your
7:36
books.
7:36
Okay.
7:36
Just
7:37
so
7:37
our
7:37
audience
7:37
understands
7:38
the
7:39
difference
7:39
and
7:39
the
7:40
special
7:40
relationship
7:41
that
7:41
you're
7:42
having
7:42
with
7:42
Aflac.
7:43
And
7:43
it's
7:44
like
7:44
a
7:44
partnership
7:45
from
7:45
what.
7:45
I'm
7:45
gathering
7:47
collaborated
7:48
came
7:49
to
7:49
me
7:49
there
7:50
so
7:51
much
7:51
research
7:53
so
7:53
much
7:53
heart
7:54
story
7:55
before
7:57
came
7:57
to
7:57
me
7:58
they
7:58
had
7:58
focus
7:59
groups
8:00
students
8:01
where
8:01
they
8:02
different
8:02
stories
8:03
with
8:04
what
8:04
what
8:05
resonated
8:06
had
8:06
them
8:07
do
8:07
different
8:08
art
8:09
that
8:09
they
8:09
were
8:10
by
8:11
hearing
8:11
a
8:11
little
8:12
bit
8:12
about
8:12
what
8:12
the
8:12
story.
8:14
And
8:14
then
8:14
when
8:14
I
8:14
went
8:15
story
8:16
I
8:16
had
8:16
all
8:16
the
8:18
to
8:18
pull
8:18
from
8:19
so
8:20
great
8:20
because
8:21
you've
8:22
some
8:22
of
8:22
those
8:23
that
8:24
the
8:24
kids
8:24
have
8:25
through
8:25
the
8:25
book
8:26
like
8:26
even
8:26
the
8:26
heart
8:27
that
8:30
created
8:30
art
8:30
that
8:31
planet.
8:32
And
8:32
I
8:32
was
8:32
like
8:32
oh,
8:32
we
8:32
have
8:33
the
8:33
flying
8:35
story.
8:35
Those
8:35
were
8:35
from
8:36
the
8:37
ideas
8:37
There
8:38
were
8:38
things
8:39
that
8:41
to
8:41
weave
8:42
in
8:42
and
8:43
did.
8:43
We
8:44
had
8:44
a
8:44
big
8:45
in
8:45
which
8:45
those
8:46
students
8:47
grade
8:48
were
8:48
invited
8:49
and
8:50
they
8:50
got
8:50
to
8:50
see
8:52
ideas
8:54
to
8:55
this
8:55
beautiful
8:56
and
8:56
here
8:57
at
8:57
Red
8:58
Author.
8:58
Terrific
9:00
special,
9:00
right?
9:01
Very
9:02
special
9:02
because
9:03
I'm
9:03
very
9:04
lucky.
9:04
My
9:05
My
9:05
oldest
9:06
granddaughter
9:06
like
9:06
I
9:06
said
9:07
is
9:07
a
9:07
co
9:07
author
9:08
in
9:08
our
9:08
first
9:08
book
9:09
and
9:09
also
9:10
in
9:10
our
9:10
second
9:10
book.
9:11
But
9:11
she
9:12
and
9:12
her
9:13
my
9:13
four
9:13
other
9:14
grandchildren
9:15
helped
9:15
us
9:15
write
9:16
38
9:17
books
9:17
in
9:17
our
9:18
series
9:18
the
9:18
Adventures
9:19
of
9:19
Caboose
9:19
the
9:20
Rocky
9:20
Mountain
9:20
Bear.
9:21
And
9:22
so
9:22
they
9:22
are
9:23
my
9:24
I
9:24
guess
9:24
my
9:25
sample
9:26
group.
9:27
Like
9:27
you're
9:27
talking
9:27
about
9:28
beta
9:28
readers.
9:29
Beta
9:30
readers
9:30
a
9:30
little
9:30
smaller
9:32
size
9:32
but
9:33
I
9:33
still
9:33
have
9:33
these
9:34
beta
9:34
readers.
9:34
It
9:35
definitely
9:35
makes
9:35
it
9:36
special
9:36
for
9:36
sure.
9:38
The
9:38
other
9:38
thing
9:38
I
9:39
wanted
9:39
to
9:39
talk
9:39
to
9:40
you
9:40
about
9:40
and
9:40
I
9:40
loved
9:41
it
9:41
and
9:41
I'll
9:41
tell
9:41
you
9:42
it
9:42
was
9:43
very
9:43
special
9:43
for
9:44
me
9:44
because
9:45
I
9:45
actually
9:46
I
9:46
read
9:46
the
9:47
book
9:47
beyond
9:48
the
9:48
words
9:49
and
9:50
I
9:50
read
9:50
the
9:50
couple
9:51
of
9:51
times
9:51
and
9:51
then
9:51
what
9:52
I
9:52
did
9:52
is
9:53
of
9:53
course
9:53
I
9:53
noticed
9:54
the
9:54
QR
9:54
code
9:55
at
9:55
the
9:55
back
9:56
and
9:56
we'll
9:57
talk
9:57
a
9:57
little
9:57
bit
9:57
about
9:58
that
9:59
which
9:59
linked
10:00
to
10:00
the
10:00
audiobook.
10:01
And
10:02
so
10:03
when
10:03
we
10:03
were
10:03
putting
10:04
our
10:04
book
10:04
together
10:04
we
10:05
were
10:05
trying
10:05
to
10:05
think
10:06
how
10:06
could
10:06
we
10:06
reach
10:07
people.
10:07
So
10:07
what
10:08
my
10:08
old
10:08
middle
10:09
granddaughter
10:10
did
10:10
she's
10:10
got
10:10
the
10:10
perfect
10:11
voice
10:11
for
10:12
Caboose.
10:13
So
10:13
she
10:14
actually
10:15
recorded
10:16
our
10:16
first
10:16
Story
10:16
the
10:17
Adventures
10:17
of
10:17
Caboose
10:18
the
10:18
Rocky
10:18
Mountain
10:18
Bear.
10:19
And
10:19
we
10:19
actually
10:20
did
10:20
up
10:20
a
10:20
QR
10:21
code.
10:22
And
10:22
so
10:23
we
10:23
created
10:24
a
10:24
bookmark
10:25
and
10:25
we
10:26
have
10:26
the
10:26
QR
10:26
code.
10:27
And
10:27
when
10:27
you
10:27
go
10:28
to
10:28
that
10:28
QR
10:28
code,
10:29
it
10:29
not
10:29
only
10:30
gives
10:30
you
10:30
the
10:30
audiobook,
10:32
it
10:32
also
10:32
gives
10:33
you
10:33
my
10:33
oldest
10:34
granddaughter,
10:34
Kira,
10:35
talking
10:36
about
10:36
the
10:36
story
10:37
behind
10:37
the
10:37
story
10:38
on
10:38
how
10:39
Caboose
10:39
came
10:39
to
10:40
life.
10:41
So
10:42
when
10:42
I
10:42
saw
10:42
what
10:43
you
10:43
did
10:43
in
10:43
the
10:44
in
10:44
Beyond
10:44
Words,
10:45
I
10:45
thought,
10:46
whoa,
10:46
this
10:47
is
10:47
next
10:47
level.
10:49
Just
10:49
spectacular.
10:51
So
10:51
I'd
10:51
like
10:52
to
10:52
talk
10:52
a
10:52
little
10:52
bit
10:53
about
10:53
the
10:53
audio
10:54
book
10:55
and
10:55
with
10:56
Kelly
10:57
Girardi
10:58
as
10:58
your
10:59
narrator
11:00
again,
11:01
how
11:02
did
11:02
that
11:02
all
11:02
come
11:03
together?
11:03
And
11:04
just
11:05
before
11:05
we
11:05
get
11:05
you
11:06
to
11:06
tell
11:06
the
11:06
story,
11:07
just
11:07
so
11:08
our
11:08
listening
11:08
audience
11:09
knows,
11:10
at
11:11
the
11:11
very
11:11
back
11:11
of
11:12
the
11:12
book
11:12
Beyond
11:12
Words,
11:13
there's
11:14
actually
11:14
a
11:14
QR
11:15
code.
11:15
And
11:16
it's
11:16
cute
11:16
because
11:16
it
11:17
also
11:17
has
11:17
the
11:17
Aflac
11:18
duck
11:18
in
11:19
the
11:19
middle
11:19
of
11:19
the
11:20
QR
11:20
code,
11:20
which
11:21
is
11:21
cool.
11:22
And
11:22
then
11:22
you
11:23
actually
11:23
get
11:23
this
11:24
audio
11:24
book.
11:25
I
11:25
think
11:25
it's
11:26
about
11:26
17
11:26
or
11:26
18
11:27
minutes.
11:27
But
11:28
what's
11:28
incredible
11:28
about
11:29
it
11:29
is
11:30
it's
11:31
very
11:31
professional
11:32
and
11:32
the
11:33
sound
11:33
effects.
11:34
And
11:35
so
11:35
I
11:35
just
11:36
took
11:36
it
11:36
and
11:37
I
11:37
played
11:37
it
11:38
on
11:38
my
11:38
iPhone
11:39
and
11:39
I
11:39
just
11:39
flipped
11:40
through.
11:40
I
11:41
followed
11:41
it
11:41
along
11:42
and
11:42
I
11:42
did
11:42
that
11:43
twice.
11:43
I
11:43
was
11:43
just
11:44
mesmerized.
11:46
So
11:46
tell
11:46
us
11:46
about
11:47
that
11:47
whole
11:48
relationship
11:49
on
11:49
how
11:49
this
11:50
whole
11:50
audiobook
11:51
experience
11:52
happened.
11:53
So
11:54
affluent
11:55
grand
11:55
vision
11:56
for
11:56
the
11:56
book.
11:57
Like
11:58
they
11:58
told
11:58
me
11:59
celebrity
12:00
reading
12:01
the
12:01
story
12:01
online
12:02
QR
12:03
code
12:03
in
12:03
the
12:03
book
12:04
that
12:05
experience
12:06
that
12:06
is
12:06
just
12:07
brilliant.
12:08
And
12:08
we
12:08
were
12:09
brainstorming
12:10
celebrities
12:10
that
12:11
we
12:11
thought
12:11
might
12:11
be
12:12
And
12:13
I
12:13
was
12:13
like
12:14
a
12:14
crazy
12:15
idea.
12:15
But
12:16
if
12:16
there
12:16
is
12:17
that's
12:17
a
12:18
female
12:19
and
12:19
a
12:19
mom
12:20
that
12:20
I
12:21
Instagram
12:22
who
12:22
I
12:22
find
12:23
inspiring.
12:23
She's
12:24
got
12:24
millions
12:25
and
12:25
she
12:26
just
12:27
be
12:27
a
12:27
really
12:27
good
12:28
person.
12:29
And
12:29
they're
12:29
like
12:29
okay,
12:31
search.
12:31
And
12:31
then
12:32
thing
12:33
I
12:33
hear
12:33
back
12:33
about
12:34
it
12:34
they've.
12:36
And
12:36
I
12:36
was
12:37
like
12:37
oh
12:37
my
12:37
gosh,
12:37
that's.
12:38
And
12:39
then
12:39
they
12:39
tell
12:39
me
12:40
is
12:41
she
12:41
going
12:41
to
12:41
record
12:41
the
12:43
but
12:43
she
12:44
at
12:45
this
12:45
book
12:46
you
12:46
are
12:47
going
12:47
to
12:47
be
12:47
at
12:47
and
12:48
get
12:48
interviewed
12:49
with
12:49
her
12:49
like
12:50
to
12:50
the
12:51
same
12:51
day.
12:51
I
12:51
was
12:51
like
12:52
that's
12:53
so
12:53
amazing.
12:54
That
12:54
is
12:55
amazing.
12:57
Yeah,
12:57
because
12:58
you
12:58
get
12:58
to
12:59
meet
12:59
somebody
13:00
it's
13:00
a
13:00
hero
13:01
to
13:01
you
13:02
to
13:02
do
13:02
something
13:03
together
13:04
and
13:04
support
13:04
an
13:05
amazing
13:06
process.
13:06
And
13:07
I
13:07
would
13:08
I
13:09
spent
13:09
a
13:09
lot
13:09
of
13:10
time
13:10
with
13:10
Kelly
13:10
during
13:11
we
13:12
shared
13:12
Uber
13:13
each
13:13
other
13:14
at
13:14
dinner.
13:14
And
13:15
she's.
13:16
She
13:17
is
13:17
one
13:17
of
13:18
you
13:18
just
13:18
think
13:19
could
13:20
be
13:20
better
13:20
in
13:20
real
13:21
life.
13:21
But
13:21
she
13:22
told
13:23
firing
13:24
so
13:24
authentic
13:25
just
13:26
human
13:27
being
13:28
affiliated
13:29
with
13:29
her
13:29
in
13:29
any
13:29
way.
13:31
And
13:31
I
13:31
am
13:32
so
13:32
thrilled
13:32
that
13:34
voice
13:34
of
13:34
this
13:34
story.
13:35
She
13:36
did
13:36
a
13:36
very
13:36
good
13:37
job
13:37
as
13:37
a
13:37
Narrator.
13:38
Just
13:38
because
13:39
you're
13:39
an
13:39
astronaut
13:40
doesn't
13:41
necessarily
13:42
mean
13:42
that
13:43
you
13:43
have
13:43
a
13:43
great
13:44
narrator's
13:45
voice.
13:46
True.
13:47
She
13:48
was
13:48
the
13:49
for
13:49
this
13:49
project.
13:50
Yeah.
13:51
And
13:51
the
13:51
audio
13:52
production
13:52
itself
13:53
to
13:53
enhance
13:54
the
13:54
narration.
13:56
You
13:56
know
13:56
what
13:57
it's
13:57
worth
13:57
purchasing
13:58
the
13:58
book
13:58
just
13:59
for
13:59
the
14:00
audiobook.
14:01
Like
14:01
what
14:01
Great
14:02
value
14:02
added
14:04
for
14:04
sure.
14:05
Thank
14:05
you.
14:06
You're
14:06
welcome.
14:07
You're
14:07
welcome.
14:08
So
14:09
I
14:10
guess
14:10
this
14:10
the
14:10
next
14:11
part
14:11
I
14:11
want
14:11
to
14:12
talk
14:12
to
14:12
you
14:12
about
14:12
is
14:13
from
14:13
the
14:13
publishing
14:14
side
14:14
and
14:14
your
14:15
publishing
14:15
approach.
14:16
Now
14:16
I
14:16
know
14:17
we're
14:17
going
14:17
to
14:17
we're
14:18
going
14:18
to
14:18
end
14:18
up
14:18
talking
14:19
really
14:20
in
14:20
two
14:20
manners
14:21
because
14:22
we're
14:22
going
14:22
to
14:22
talk
14:23
from
14:24
beyond
14:24
the
14:24
words
14:25
and
14:25
that
14:25
publishing
14:26
approach.
14:27
And
14:27
then
14:27
I'd
14:27
also
14:28
like
14:28
to
14:28
get
14:28
you
14:29
to
14:29
give
14:29
us
14:29
some
14:29
insight
14:30
into
14:30
your
14:31
own
14:32
children's
14:32
book
14:33
publishing
14:33
approach.
14:34
So
14:34
let's
14:35
talk
14:35
about
14:35
beyond
14:36
words
14:36
first.
14:37
I
14:37
know
14:37
that
14:38
you
14:38
guys
14:38
used
14:39
a
14:39
publisher
14:40
called
14:40
Archway.
14:42
Were
14:42
you
14:42
familiar
14:43
with
14:43
Archway
14:43
Publishing
14:44
before
14:45
you
14:45
actually
14:46
worked
14:46
on
14:47
this
14:47
project?
14:48
I
14:48
was
14:49
not
14:50
they
14:50
were
14:51
not
14:51
on
14:51
my
14:52
all
14:52
provided
14:53
the
14:55
and
14:56
they
14:56
worked
14:57
illustration
14:58
company
14:59
and
15:00
provide
15:01
management
15:02
for
15:02
that
15:02
and
15:02
then
15:04
fulfillment
15:05
of
15:06
the
15:06
books.
15:06
Okay.
15:07
For
15:07
beyond
15:08
and
15:08
I
15:08
noticed
15:09
they
15:09
used
15:10
Archway
15:11
uses
15:11
a
15:12
publishing
15:12
company
15:12
called
15:13
King's
15:13
Publishing.
15:15
Yes,
15:15
that's
15:15
the
15:16
printer.
15:16
Yes,
15:17
the
15:17
printer.
15:17
And
15:18
now
15:18
would
15:18
you
15:19
have
15:19
had
15:19
any
15:19
association
15:20
with
15:20
King
15:21
King
15:22
Printing
15:22
before
15:23
this
15:23
project?
15:24
No
15:25
them
15:26
at
15:26
all
15:26
either.
15:26
I
15:27
okay.
15:28
Other
15:28
team.
15:29
Other
15:30
member
15:30
of
15:30
the
15:31
team
15:31
that
15:32
was
15:32
the
15:32
illustration
15:33
company.
15:34
I
15:34
have
15:34
partnered
15:35
with
15:35
Bright
15:35
Jungle
15:36
my
15:37
books
15:37
to
15:37
life
15:39
and
15:39
sorry
15:39
they
15:39
may
15:40
add
15:40
value
15:40
here.
15:41
Okay.
15:41
So
15:42
when
15:42
you
15:43
so
15:43
though
15:43
those
15:44
three
15:44
companies
15:45
you
15:45
had
15:45
never
15:46
dealt
15:46
with
15:47
with
15:47
your
15:47
own
15:48
whimsical
15:48
world
15:49
of
15:49
children's
15:50
books.
15:52
With
15:52
Bright
15:52
Joke
15:53
but
15:53
not
15:53
Archway.
15:54
Okay.
15:55
Okay.
15:56
And
15:57
so
15:58
explain
15:58
to
15:58
us
15:59
a
15:59
little
15:59
bit
15:59
about
15:59
the
16:00
illustration
16:00
side
16:01
because
16:01
most
16:01
of
16:02
us
16:02
as
16:03
children's
16:03
book
16:04
authors
16:05
we
16:05
end
16:05
up
16:06
using
16:06
in
16:07
most
16:07
cases
16:07
an
16:08
individual
16:09
illustrator
16:10
that
16:11
we
16:11
get
16:11
to
16:11
know.
16:12
And
16:12
most
16:13
children's
16:13
book
16:14
authors
16:14
that
16:14
I've
16:15
interviewed
16:15
and
16:15
I've
16:16
interviewed
16:16
over
16:17
75
16:18
children's
16:18
book
16:19
authors
16:19
is
16:20
they
16:20
tend
16:20
to
16:21
end
16:21
up
16:22
developing
16:22
a
16:23
relationship
16:23
with
16:23
their
16:24
illustrator
16:25
and
16:25
they
16:26
stick
16:26
with
16:26
them
16:27
for
16:27
multiple
16:27
books.
16:28
So
16:28
tell
16:29
us
16:29
about
16:30
your
16:31
experience
16:31
with
16:32
illustration.
16:33
I've
16:34
worked
16:34
at
16:34
both
16:35
initially
16:36
in
16:36
my
16:36
career
16:37
a
16:38
single
16:38
illustration
16:39
who
16:40
did
16:40
the
16:40
first
16:40
five.
16:42
And
16:42
then
16:42
when
16:43
I
16:44
books
16:44
more
16:45
like
16:45
a
16:46
I
16:46
had
16:46
production
16:47
schedulers
16:48
and
16:48
timelines.
16:49
I
16:49
needed
16:50
to
16:50
release
16:51
the
16:52
and
16:52
hit
16:52
certain
16:53
season
16:54
commitments
16:54
that
16:54
I
16:55
had
16:55
made
16:56
author.
16:57
I
16:58
came
16:58
beyond
16:59
that
16:59
because
16:59
I
16:59
would
17:00
too
17:00
many
17:01
illustrator
17:02
to
17:02
handle.
17:03
Okay.
17:04
Because
17:05
husband
17:05
and
17:05
I
17:05
combined
17:06
forces
17:07
started
17:07
having
17:07
a
17:08
need
17:09
illustrate
17:09
his
17:09
books
17:10
at
17:10
the
17:10
same
17:10
time
17:11
and
17:11
then
17:11
I
17:11
started
17:12
taking
17:12
on
17:12
med
17:13
so
17:13
then
17:13
they
17:14
needed
17:14
people.
17:15
So
17:15
I
17:16
was
17:16
like
17:16
need
17:17
to
17:17
find
17:17
other
17:18
communities
17:19
here
17:19
so
17:20
that
17:20
we
17:21
hit
17:21
our
17:21
timelines
17:22
quick
17:23
without
17:23
poaching
17:25
to
17:25
serve
17:25
another
17:26
I
17:27
found
17:27
bright
17:28
jobs
17:29
they
17:29
form
17:30
called
17:30
another
17:31
name
17:31
I
17:31
can't
17:32
think
17:32
of
17:32
right
17:32
now
17:32
but
17:33
but
17:33
you'll
17:34
the
17:34
books
17:34
throughout
17:35
history
17:35
they
17:36
name
17:36
in
17:37
the
17:37
past
17:38
company
17:39
and
17:39
what
17:39
working
17:40
with
17:40
a
17:41
studio
17:42
that
17:42
you
17:43
have
17:44
and
17:44
the
17:44
project
17:45
yes
17:46
between
17:46
for
17:47
Trader
17:48
and
17:48
you
17:48
and
17:49
some
17:49
trader
17:49
might
17:50
speak
17:50
a
17:51
language
17:51
than
17:52
you
17:52
do
17:53
that's
17:53
not
17:53
a
17:54
brick
17:55
wall
17:55
because
17:55
you
17:56
have
17:57
manager
17:57
who
17:57
can
17:57
cross
17:58
the
17:59
other
17:59
audit
18:00
is
18:00
that
18:01
you
18:02
have
18:02
a
18:02
project
18:03
and
18:03
strict
18:04
deadline
18:05
happens
18:06
in
18:06
the
18:06
life
18:06
of
18:06
the
18:07
illustrator
18:08
someone
18:09
or
18:10
something
18:10
happens
18:11
they
18:11
can't
18:12
keep
18:12
their
18:12
timeline
18:13
the
18:13
studio
18:15
on
18:15
the
18:16
response
18:17
find
18:17
someone
18:17
else
18:19
in
18:19
a
18:19
gap
18:20
who
18:20
can
18:21
and
18:21
hit.
18:22
The
18:22
timeline
18:23
and
18:23
you
18:23
don't
18:24
find
18:24
the
18:24
transition
18:26
if
18:27
you
18:27
have
18:27
to
18:27
switch
18:28
it's.
18:29
Rare
18:30
has
18:31
to
18:31
happen.
18:31
Okay
18:32
okay.
18:32
Because
18:32
yeah
18:33
I
18:33
just
18:33
want
18:33
to
18:33
be
18:33
clear
18:34
on
18:34
that
18:34
because
18:34
I've
18:34
talked
18:35
to
18:35
authors
18:36
who
18:36
have
18:37
had
18:38
illustrators
18:39
including
18:40
themselves
18:40
Some
18:41
of
18:41
the
18:41
children's
18:41
book
18:41
authors
18:42
I've
18:42
interviewed
18:43
are
18:43
the
18:43
illustrator
18:44
and
18:44
they
18:44
said
18:44
the
18:45
most
18:45
difficult
18:46
thing
18:46
they
18:46
have
18:47
is
18:47
keeping
18:49
continuity
18:50
through
18:51
all
18:51
the
18:51
illustrations.
18:53
Yes
18:53
and
18:54
that
18:54
is
18:54
the
18:55
author
18:56
the
18:57
art
18:58
and
18:58
I
18:58
make
18:59
sure
19:00
never
19:00
go
19:00
with
19:01
whatever
19:01
the
19:02
drawn
19:02
no
19:02
matter
19:03
how
19:04
traitor
19:04
is
19:05
they
19:05
can't
19:06
brain
19:06
they're
19:07
not
19:07
going
19:07
to
19:07
read
19:08
your
19:08
mind
19:09
and
19:10
know
19:10
what
19:10
the
19:10
right
19:11
fit
19:11
is
19:12
see
19:12
something
19:12
that's
19:13
not
19:13
it
19:14
you're
19:14
like
19:14
oh
19:14
okay
19:16
this
19:16
way
19:17
and
19:17
that's
19:18
process
19:18
that
19:20
with
19:20
my
19:20
books
19:21
and
19:21
that
19:21
we
19:21
also
19:22
with
19:23
beyond
19:24
and
19:24
the
19:24
Aflac
19:25
team
19:26
able
19:26
to
19:27
give
19:28
and
19:28
make
19:28
sure
19:28
that
19:29
it
19:29
was
19:29
in
19:29
alignment.
19:30
So
19:31
together
19:32
with
19:32
the
19:32
three
19:33
of
19:33
us
19:33
we're
19:34
being
19:34
bigger
19:35
and
19:36
I
19:36
think
19:37
than
19:39
on
19:39
our
19:39
own.
19:41
Okay
19:42
so
19:43
it
19:43
sounds
19:44
like
19:44
that
19:44
whole
19:45
relationship
19:45
with
19:47
Aflac
19:47
yourself
19:48
and
19:50
Archway
19:52
and
19:52
the
19:53
and
19:53
the
19:53
illustrator
19:54
work
19:55
well
19:56
yeah.
19:57
I
19:57
think
19:57
we
19:57
were
19:57
really
19:58
I
19:59
have
19:59
worked
19:59
with
19:59
the
20:00
team
20:01
for
20:01
over
20:01
a
20:01
decade
20:02
trust
20:03
them
20:03
I
20:03
know
20:04
that
20:05
they
20:05
deliver.
20:06
So
20:06
I
20:06
knew
20:06
that
20:07
if
20:07
if
20:08
we
20:08
would
20:08
be
20:08
able
20:09
to
20:10
the
20:10
goal
20:11
sensitive
20:11
though
20:11
because
20:12
they're
20:12
so
20:13
variable.
20:14
So
20:14
I'm
20:15
always
20:15
like
20:16
are
20:16
we
20:16
gonna
20:17
make
20:17
it
20:17
and
20:17
then
20:18
when
20:18
we
20:18
do
20:19
but
20:19
I
20:19
knew
20:19
it
20:19
would
20:19
be
20:20
quality.
20:22
It
20:22
definitely
20:22
is
20:23
beautiful
20:23
quality.
20:25
Thank
20:25
you
20:26
Layer
20:27
that's
20:28
checking
20:28
out
20:28
the
20:28
book
20:29
it's
20:29
like
20:30
hidden
20:31
prizes
20:33
is
20:33
that
20:34
they
20:34
will
20:35
find
20:35
a
20:35
book
20:35
they
20:35
look
20:36
over
20:37
and
20:37
three
20:38
night
20:38
at
20:38
bedtime
20:38
read
20:38
it
20:39
three
20:40
so
20:40
this
20:41
book
20:42
about
20:43
it
20:43
by
20:43
planting
20:44
seeds
20:44
so
20:44
that
20:45
they
20:45
could
20:46
every
20:46
time
20:47
they
20:47
load
20:48
which
20:48
I
20:49
think
20:49
is
20:50
as
20:50
apparent
20:51
too
20:51
because
20:52
board
20:53
gets.
20:53
Sprint
20:53
over
20:54
like
20:54
I
20:55
said
20:55
to
20:55
you
20:55
I
20:55
was
20:56
when
20:56
I
20:57
scanned
20:58
the
20:58
QR
20:58
code
20:59
it
20:59
was
21:00
fantastic
21:01
because
21:03
I
21:03
was
21:03
mesmerized
21:04
and
21:04
like
21:04
I
21:05
said,
21:05
I
21:05
played
21:05
the
21:05
recording
21:06
twice
21:07
because
21:07
only
21:07
about
21:08
17
21:08
minutes
21:09
and
21:09
yet
21:10
I
21:10
can
21:10
see
21:11
a
21:11
child.
21:11
Because
21:12
you
21:12
know
21:12
what
21:12
I
21:12
like
21:13
all
21:14
five
21:14
of
21:14
my
21:14
grandchildren
21:15
are
21:15
very
21:16
familiar
21:16
with
21:16
technology
21:18
and
21:18
if
21:19
they
21:19
don't
21:19
have
21:19
a
21:19
smartphone,
21:20
they've
21:20
got
21:20
an
21:21
iPad.
21:22
And
21:22
the
21:22
beautiful
21:23
thing
21:23
about
21:23
it
21:23
is
21:24
you
21:24
can
21:24
scan
21:24
that
21:24
QR
21:25
code
21:25
and
21:26
then
21:26
you
21:26
can.
21:27
You
21:27
can
21:27
just
21:27
listen
21:27
and
21:28
flip
21:28
along
21:29
through
21:29
the
21:29
book.
21:30
So
21:30
it
21:31
certainly
21:33
adds
21:33
a
21:33
really
21:33
nice
21:34
dimension
21:35
to
21:35
the
21:35
book.
21:38
So
21:38
I
21:38
want
21:38
to
21:39
talk
21:39
about
21:39
your
21:40
website
21:41
and
21:42
I
21:42
love
21:42
your
21:42
website.
21:43
It's.
21:43
It
21:44
is
21:44
whimsical
21:45
and
21:46
I
21:46
love
21:46
how
21:47
you
21:47
and
21:47
your
21:47
husband
21:49
have
21:49
some
21:50
fun
21:50
on
21:50
the
21:50
website.
21:51
So
21:51
that's
21:52
very
21:52
neat.
21:53
And
21:53
I've
21:53
got
21:53
your
21:54
website
21:54
up
21:54
in
21:54
front
21:54
of
21:55
me
21:55
and
21:55
I.
21:55
The
21:55
banner
21:56
keeps
21:56
sliding
21:57
through
21:57
so
21:58
I
21:58
can
21:58
see
21:58
the
21:59
picture
21:59
of
21:59
you
21:59
being
22:00
a
22:00
mermaid
22:01
and
22:01
then
22:01
your
22:01
different
22:02
book
22:02
titles
22:02
and
22:03
then
22:03
your
22:03
husband
22:03
and
22:04
yourself.
22:05
So
22:05
it's
22:05
definitely
22:06
a
22:06
lot
22:06
of
22:06
fun.
22:07
And
22:07
so
22:08
talk
22:08
to
22:08
us
22:08
about
22:09
the
22:11
development
22:11
of
22:12
your
22:12
website
22:13
in
22:13
terms
22:13
of
22:14
when
22:14
you
22:14
first
22:15
started
22:15
out.
22:16
How
22:16
has
22:16
it
22:17
grown
22:17
from
22:17
what
22:18
you
22:18
originally
22:19
had?
22:19
And
22:20
talk
22:20
to
22:20
us
22:20
about
22:21
that.
22:21
The
22:21
whimsical
22:22
nature.
22:23
When
22:23
did
22:23
that
22:23
sneak
22:24
its
22:24
way
22:24
in
22:25
to
22:25
your
22:26
website?
22:27
I
22:27
think
22:27
I've
22:28
always.
22:29
It's
22:29
been
22:30
just
22:31
core
22:31
to
22:31
my.
22:32
Ever
22:32
since
22:32
I
22:33
was
22:33
a
22:33
kid
22:34
talking
22:34
to
22:35
someone
22:35
who
22:35
has
22:36
wanted
22:36
to
22:37
be
22:37
a
22:37
writer,
22:38
a
22:38
princess
22:40
and
22:40
I
22:41
feel
22:41
career
22:42
where
22:42
you
22:42
can
22:42
legitimately
22:43
do
22:43
all
22:43
of
22:43
those
22:44
things.
22:45
Yes,
22:45
my
22:46
very
22:46
first.
22:47
So
22:47
I
22:47
used
22:47
to
22:48
do
22:48
HTML
22:49
and
22:49
back
22:49
when
22:50
I
22:50
was
22:50
in
22:50
grad
22:50
school,
22:51
HTML
22:52
I
22:52
taught
22:52
myself
22:52
HTML
22:53
taught
22:53
classes
22:54
at
22:54
my
22:54
university
22:55
while
22:55
doing
22:56
grad
22:56
school
22:57
money.
22:58
So
22:59
first
23:00
attempt
23:00
at
23:00
a
23:01
actually
23:02
leveraged
23:02
blog
23:03
way
23:04
back
23:04
in
23:04
the
23:04
day.
23:04
Remember
23:04
blog?
23:05
Before
23:06
Google
23:06
bought
23:06
it,
23:06
I
23:07
had
23:08
a
23:08
blog,
23:08
but
23:09
it's
23:10
a
23:10
blog.
23:10
I
23:10
was
23:11
mowing
23:12
it
23:12
up
23:14
and
23:14
I
23:14
thought,
23:14
oh,
23:14
I'm
23:15
going.
23:16
So
23:16
I
23:17
made
23:17
it
23:18
to
23:18
my
23:18
first
23:18
book.
23:19
It's
23:20
called
23:20
the
23:20
Little
23:20
Rose.
23:22
My
23:22
whole
23:22
website,
23:24
the
23:24
colors
23:25
which
23:25
are
23:26
pink,
23:26
it
23:27
had
23:27
a
23:28
book
23:28
and
23:28
the
23:28
character
23:30
everything
23:30
was
23:31
geared
23:31
towards
23:32
because
23:32
at
23:32
that
23:32
time
23:33
I
23:33
couldn't.
23:34
This
23:34
was.
23:35
I
23:35
couldn't
23:36
fathom
23:37
a
23:37
reason
23:38
differently.
23:39
But
23:39
then
23:40
I
23:40
got
23:40
another
23:40
idea.
23:42
Second
23:42
book
23:42
came
23:43
out
23:43
and
23:43
I
23:44
no,
23:44
now
23:45
I
23:45
have
23:45
to
23:45
do
23:45
a
23:46
website.
23:47
So
23:47
then
23:47
I
23:47
had
23:47
a.
23:48
That
23:48
was
23:49
for
23:49
the
23:49
little
23:49
note.
23:50
It
23:50
was
23:50
like
23:51
a
23:51
mirror
23:51
image.
23:52
The
23:52
same
23:53
style
23:53
I
23:53
use
23:54
still
23:55
because
23:55
I
23:55
was
23:55
just
23:55
doing
23:56
and
23:57
I
23:57
could
23:57
manage
23:57
it
23:57
with
23:57
my
23:58
skills.
23:59
And
24:00
then
24:01
I
24:01
had
24:01
a
24:01
third
24:01
book
24:01
and
24:02
I
24:02
was
24:02
like
24:03
sanity,
24:03
like
24:05
keep
24:05
creating
24:06
it
24:07
every
24:07
time
24:07
I
24:07
have
24:07
a
24:08
new
24:08
book.
24:09
In
24:09
all
24:09
of
24:09
this,
24:09
I
24:10
instead
24:10
decided
24:11
that
24:12
I
24:12
needed
24:13
myself
24:14
the
24:14
brand
24:15
because
24:16
that
24:16
was.
24:16
The
24:16
uniform
24:17
was
24:18
me
24:19
absolutely
24:19
and
24:19
everything
24:20
I
24:20
was
24:20
doing
24:20
was
24:21
emotional
24:21
learning.
24:22
So
24:23
doing
24:23
crazy
24:25
things.
24:25
I
24:25
was
24:25
doing
24:26
the
24:26
same
24:26
both
24:27
things
24:27
but
24:27
under
24:29
so
24:29
that's
24:29
when
24:29
I
24:30
thought
24:30
do
24:31
a
24:31
Sherry
24:31
thing
24:32
that
24:32
has
24:34
that
24:34
way
24:34
I
24:34
have
24:34
flexibility
24:35
add
24:36
titles
24:36
or
24:37
add
24:37
merchandise
24:38
which
24:38
really
24:39
wanted
24:39
to
24:39
do
24:39
for
24:39
a
24:39
very
24:40
long
24:40
excited
24:41
to
24:41
do
24:41
it
24:41
now
24:42
and
24:43
then
24:43
once
24:43
my
24:44
husband
24:45
I
24:45
was
24:45
like
24:45
whimsical
24:46
World
24:46
needs
24:47
website.
24:48
So
24:49
if
24:49
you
24:49
go
24:49
to
24:49
whimsical.
24:50
Com
24:51
you'll
24:51
see
24:51
that
24:52
we
24:53
that
24:53
I
24:53
had
24:53
already
24:54
for
24:55
Cherry
24:55
Finktok.
24:56
Nice.
24:57
We
24:57
did
24:57
it
24:57
for
24:57
the
24:58
world.
24:58
We're
24:59
able
24:59
to
24:59
leverage
25:00
the
25:00
programming
25:01
that
25:01
I
25:01
had
25:01
picked
25:02
but
25:02
then
25:02
have
25:03
it
25:04
just
25:04
for
25:06
when
25:06
you
25:06
go
25:06
to
25:06
the
25:07
two
25:07
different
25:07
see
25:08
different
25:08
things
25:10
the
25:10
same
25:11
you
25:11
can
25:12
tell
25:12
that
25:13
it's
25:14
like
25:14
it
25:14
because
25:14
they're
25:15
complementary
25:16
duplicative
25:18
because
25:18
there's
25:18
a
25:18
lot
25:18
of
25:18
things
25:19
that
25:20
that
25:20
aren't
25:20
necessarily
25:21
Whimsical
25:21
world.
25:21
Like
25:22
I
25:22
do
25:23
writers
25:23
conferences
25:24
and
25:24
web
25:24
conferences
25:25
and
25:25
different
25:26
things
25:27
that
25:27
aren't
25:27
necessarily
25:29
umbrella
25:31
would
25:31
be
25:31
on
25:31
my
25:32
site.
25:32
Terrific.
25:33
Terrific.
25:33
Yeah.
25:33
Because
25:34
I
25:34
noticed
25:34
you're
25:34
launching
25:35
an
25:35
adult
25:36
book
25:36
and
25:37
it's
25:37
on
25:37
your
25:37
Sheri
25:38
Fink
25:38
website.
25:40
Correct.
25:41
Yeah.
25:42
It
25:43
enables
25:43
me
25:43
to
25:43
follow
25:44
the
25:44
inspiration
25:45
ways.
25:46
Yes.
25:47
Makes
25:48
19
25:48
different.
25:50
And
25:50
with
25:50
your
25:51
website
25:52
is
25:52
that
25:54
for
25:54
beyond.
25:56
Talk
25:56
to
25:56
us
25:56
a
25:57
little
25:57
bit
25:57
about
25:57
how
25:57
you're
25:58
using
25:58
your
25:59
website
26:00
to
26:00
promote
26:00
the
26:01
book.
26:01
Because
26:01
I'm
26:02
just.
26:02
I'm
26:02
watching
26:03
the
26:03
banners
26:03
go
26:04
through
26:05
but
26:05
I
26:05
haven't
26:05
seen
26:06
Beyond
26:06
Word
26:07
banner
26:07
slide
26:08
in.
26:09
So
26:10
is
26:10
there
26:10
a
26:10
reason
26:11
for
26:11
that?
26:12
Yeah,
26:13
everything
26:13
is
26:13
well
26:13
so
26:14
on
26:15
Think
26:16
site
26:16
or
26:16
the
26:16
whimsical
26:17
world.
26:17
But
26:18
the
26:18
beyond
26:18
words
26:19
is
26:19
something
26:19
that
26:20
Whimsical
26:21
world
26:22
on
26:22
my
26:22
Sherry
26:23
Fink
26:23
site
26:24
on
26:24
the
26:24
homepage
26:25
I
26:25
have
26:26
free
26:27
featured
26:28
banner
26:29
and
26:29
beyond.
26:30
And
26:31
then
26:31
when
26:31
you
26:31
click
26:31
that,
26:32
I
26:32
think
26:33
I
26:33
might
26:33
have
26:33
a
26:33
book
26:34
about
26:34
it
26:35
online.
26:36
Yes.
26:36
Like
26:36
I'm
26:36
looking
26:37
at
26:37
it,
26:37
I'm
26:37
scrolling
26:38
up.
26:38
I
26:38
see
26:39
magenta
26:40
Beyond
26:41
Words
26:41
and
26:41
wishing
26:42
you
26:42
rainbows
26:43
all
26:43
come
26:44
up.
26:45
And
26:45
then
26:45
you
26:45
with
26:45
your
26:46
beautifully
26:47
rainbow
26:48
hair.
26:48
Your
26:48
beautiful
26:49
rainbow
26:49
hair.
26:50
And
26:51
then
26:51
when
26:51
you
26:52
go
26:52
to
26:52
the
26:53
link
26:54
ultimately
26:54
take
26:55
you
26:55
to
26:56
Beyond
26:57
Word.
26:58
Okay.
26:58
Where
26:58
you
26:59
see
26:59
the
26:59
audio.
27:00
You
27:00
can
27:00
order
27:01
a
27:01
paperback
27:02
or
27:02
a
27:02
copy
27:03
where
27:03
you
27:03
can
27:03
get
27:03
the
27:04
coloring
27:05
pages.
27:05
Yeah,
27:05
absolutely.
27:06
I
27:06
just
27:06
clicked
27:07
on
27:07
it.
27:08
You
27:08
bet.
27:09
I
27:09
see
27:09
that.
27:10
Fantastic.
27:11
So
27:11
that's
27:11
great
27:12
news
27:12
how
27:12
you've
27:13
done
27:13
that.
27:13
So
27:13
that's
27:14
terrific.
27:15
Okay.
27:16
I
27:16
also.
27:17
Oh,
27:17
sorry.
27:17
So
27:18
also
27:18
at
27:18
the
27:18
bottom
27:18
of
27:19
both
27:20
connects
27:20
to
27:20
my
27:21
Instagram.
27:22
So
27:22
the
27:22
Sheri
27:23
Fink
27:24
connects
27:24
to
27:25
Sherry
27:26
Fink
27:26
on
27:26
Instagram.
27:27
Okay.
27:28
Books.com
27:29
connects
27:29
to
27:29
the
27:31
account
27:31
on
27:31
Instagram.
27:33
Again,
27:33
this
27:33
is
27:34
really
27:35
for
27:35
authors
27:36
at
27:36
the
27:37
of
27:37
the
27:37
main
27:37
page.
27:38
Yes.
27:39
Automatically
27:40
pull
27:40
my
27:40
Most
27:40
recent
27:41
Instagram.
27:42
So
27:42
anybody
27:43
that
27:44
I
27:44
don't
27:44
have
27:44
to
27:44
update
27:44
the
27:45
whole
27:46
because
27:46
I
27:46
have
27:46
this
27:47
plugin
27:48
that's
27:48
automatic
27:49
latest
27:50
things.
27:51
Terrific.
27:51
Yeah.
27:52
It's
27:52
interesting
27:53
you
27:53
should
27:53
say
27:53
that
27:53
because
27:54
what
27:54
I've
27:54
done
27:54
is
27:56
I
27:56
have
27:56
a
27:56
business
27:57
card
27:57
with
27:58
my.
27:59
I'm
27:59
just
28:00
showing
28:00
you
28:00
that.
28:00
But
28:00
I
28:00
have
28:01
a
28:01
QR
28:01
code
28:02
on
28:02
it
28:02
that.
28:03
And
28:03
what
28:04
happens
28:04
when
28:04
you
28:05
actually
28:05
scan
28:06
the
28:06
QR
28:06
code?
28:07
It
28:07
takes
28:08
you
28:08
to
28:08
the
28:08
latest
28:09
episode
28:10
of
28:10
Adventures
28:11
in
28:11
the
28:11
Heart
28:11
of
28:12
Children's
28:12
Book
28:12
Authors
28:13
and
28:13
then
28:14
you
28:14
can
28:14
make
28:14
a
28:14
decision
28:15
from
28:15
there.
28:16
So
28:16
depending
28:17
out
28:17
on
28:17
when
28:17
I
28:17
hand
28:18
out
28:18
the
28:18
business
28:19
card
28:19
and
28:19
depending
28:20
on
28:20
when
28:20
someone
28:21
scans
28:22
the
28:22
QR
28:22
code,
28:23
that's
28:23
the.
28:24
That's
28:24
the
28:24
episode
28:25
they
28:25
get.
28:25
Now
28:25
the
28:25
whole
28:26
library
28:26
is
28:26
available
28:27
to
28:27
them,
28:27
but
28:28
that's
28:28
the
28:28
way
28:28
it
28:28
works.
28:29
So
28:29
that's
28:29
great.
28:30
Yeah.
28:31
I
28:31
like
28:32
things
28:32
that
28:32
are
28:32
automated
28:33
because
28:33
the
28:33
many
28:34
things
28:34
that
28:34
we
28:34
have
28:34
to
28:35
touch
28:36
it
28:36
we
28:37
overwhelming
28:38
as
28:38
an.
28:39
It's
28:39
hard
28:39
to
28:40
keep
28:40
up.
28:40
We
28:41
even
28:41
just
28:41
posting
28:42
on
28:42
all
28:42
forms
28:43
that
28:43
we
28:43
can
28:44
do
28:44
to
28:44
make
28:44
our
28:44
lives
28:45
and
28:45
still
28:46
keep
28:46
things
28:46
up
28:46
to
28:46
date.
28:47
Absolutely.
28:48
Yeah.
28:49
Now,
28:49
I
28:50
noticed
28:51
you
28:51
are.
28:52
I
28:52
don't
28:53
think
28:53
you're
28:53
on
28:54
LinkedIn,
28:54
are
28:55
you?
28:56
I
28:56
am.
28:56
Oh,
28:57
are
28:57
you?
28:58
Okay?
28:58
I
28:58
just.
28:59
I
28:59
was
28:59
just
28:59
looking
28:59
for
29:00
the.
29:02
Oh,
29:03
oh.
29:04
So
29:04
you
29:04
know
29:04
where
29:04
it
29:04
says
29:05
connect
29:05
with
29:05
Sherry.
29:06
I
29:06
just
29:06
looking
29:06
for
29:07
the
29:07
LinkedIn
29:08
logo.
29:10
But
29:10
I
29:10
am
29:10
on
29:10
LinkedIn.
29:11
Okay,
29:12
terrific.
29:12
Terrific.
29:13
And
29:14
the
29:14
reason
29:14
I
29:14
mentioned
29:15
that
29:15
is
29:15
because
29:16
it's
29:17
surprising.
29:17
I
29:18
probably
29:18
only
29:18
had
29:19
a
29:19
half
29:19
dozen
29:20
children's
29:21
book
29:21
authors
29:22
who
29:22
are
29:23
actually
29:23
on
29:23
LinkedIn.
29:24
And
29:24
I
29:24
always
29:25
say
29:25
to
29:25
them,
29:26
oh,
29:27
yeah.
29:27
And
29:27
I
29:27
say,
29:28
you
29:28
know
29:28
what,
29:28
guys?
29:29
If
29:29
you
29:30
look
29:30
at
29:30
LinkedIn,
29:31
there
29:31
are
29:31
so
29:31
many
29:32
groups
29:33
and
29:33
some
29:33
of
29:34
the
29:34
biggest
29:34
groups
29:35
that
29:35
you
29:35
should
29:35
be
29:35
joining
29:36
are
29:36
like,
29:37
for
29:37
example,
29:37
I'm
29:38
a
29:38
member
29:38
of
29:38
the
29:39
principal
29:40
and
29:40
teachers.
29:40
There's
29:41
a
29:41
large
29:41
principal
29:41
and
29:42
teachers
29:42
LinkedIn
29:43
group.
29:44
It's
29:44
in
29:44
the.
29:45
It's
29:45
in
29:45
the
29:45
tens
29:46
of
29:46
thousands
29:46
of
29:47
people
29:47
that
29:47
are
29:47
members.
29:48
And
29:48
I
29:48
post
29:49
there
29:49
all
29:49
the
29:49
time
29:50
because
29:51
a
29:51
lot
29:51
of
29:52
my
29:52
guests
29:53
are
29:53
either
29:54
children's
29:55
book.
29:55
Sorry.
29:55
Are
29:56
either
29:56
early
29:57
educators
29:58
or
29:59
they're
29:59
elementary
30:00
school
30:01
educators.
30:02
And
30:02
the
30:03
interesting
30:03
thing
30:03
about
30:04
that
30:04
is
30:05
that
30:06
they've
30:06
written
30:06
these
30:07
children's
30:07
books
30:07
and
30:08
they
30:08
actually
30:08
even
30:09
developed
30:09
them
30:09
with
30:10
a
30:10
lesson
30:10
plan.
30:10
And
30:11
I
30:11
always
30:11
say
30:11
to
30:11
them,
30:12
if
30:12
you're.
30:12
If
30:13
you're
30:13
doing
30:13
that,
30:13
you
30:14
should
30:14
be
30:14
speaking
30:14
to
30:15
people
30:16
who.
30:16
That.
30:17
That
30:17
will
30:17
bring
30:18
your
30:18
books
30:18
into
30:19
their
30:19
schools.
30:20
And
30:22
so,
30:23
so
30:23
that's
30:23
one
30:24
of.
30:24
One
30:24
of
30:24
the
30:24
things
30:24
that
30:25
I
30:25
try
30:25
and
30:25
talk
30:25
about
30:26
on
30:27
every
30:27
episode
30:27
is
30:28
I'm
30:28
encouraging
30:29
children's
30:30
book
30:30
authors
30:30
to
30:30
make
30:31
sure
30:31
that
30:31
they
30:32
are
30:33
on
30:33
LinkedIn
30:34
and
30:34
they
30:34
look
30:34
for
30:35
the
30:35
appropriate
30:35
groups
30:36
because
30:37
a
30:37
lot
30:37
of
30:37
times
30:38
I
30:38
find
30:39
that
30:39
children's
30:40
book
30:40
authors
30:40
will
30:41
join
30:42
other
30:42
children's
30:43
book
30:43
authors,
30:44
Facebook
30:45
or
30:45
Instagram.
30:46
But
30:47
what
30:47
you're
30:47
ending
30:48
up
30:48
doing
30:48
is
30:48
many
30:49
times
30:49
you're
30:49
talking
30:50
to
30:50
the
30:50
same
30:51
audience
30:52
so
30:52
you're
30:53
all
30:53
trying
30:53
to
30:53
get
30:53
the
30:54
same
30:54
reader.
30:55
And
30:56
whereas
30:56
if
30:57
you
30:57
can
30:57
expand
30:57
your
30:57
audience
30:58
where
30:58
you're
30:59
reaching
30:59
out
30:59
to
30:59
teachers
31:00
who
31:01
and
31:01
principals
31:02
who
31:02
want
31:02
to
31:02
bring
31:03
books
31:03
like
31:04
yours
31:04
into
31:04
a
31:05
school,
31:05
that's
31:06
the
31:06
audience
31:06
you
31:07
should
31:07
be
31:07
talking
31:07
or
31:07
part
31:08
of
31:08
the
31:08
audience
31:08
you
31:08
should
31:09
be
31:09
talking
31:09
to.
31:10
And
31:11
the
31:11
thing
31:11
I've
31:11
found
31:13
is
31:13
that
31:13
the
31:14
post
31:15
think
31:15
they're
31:17
longer
31:17
than
31:18
they
31:18
do
31:19
form.
31:20
So
31:21
I
31:21
don't
31:21
know
31:22
the
31:22
long
31:23
tail
31:23
of
31:23
it.
31:24
If
31:25
I
31:25
post
31:25
on
31:26
that
31:26
one's
31:26
that's
31:27
probably
31:28
24
31:28
hours
31:29
maybe
31:30
before
31:30
it
31:30
stops
31:31
getting
31:31
any
31:31
engagement.
31:32
Then
31:33
something
31:33
on
31:34
might
31:34
have
31:35
two
31:36
days,
31:36
four
31:36
days,
31:37
five
31:37
days
31:37
depending
31:38
on
31:38
if
31:38
it's
31:38
on
31:38
my
31:39
like
31:39
a
31:40
fan
31:40
page
31:40
or
31:41
page
31:42
which
31:42
gets
31:42
a
31:42
lot
31:43
because
31:44
it's
31:44
personal
31:45
upgrade
31:47
I
31:47
didn't
31:47
boost
31:48
it
31:48
so
31:49
upgrade
31:49
it
31:49
the
31:50
same
31:51
I
31:51
will
31:52
get
31:52
common
31:53
engagement
31:53
with
31:53
it
31:54
two
31:54
weeks
31:55
like
31:55
it
31:56
stays
31:57
longer.
31:57
And
31:57
I
31:57
don't
31:58
know
31:58
if
31:58
that's
31:59
competition.
32:00
Less
32:00
people
32:01
ate
32:01
for
32:01
lunch
32:02
and
32:03
I
32:03
don't
32:03
know
32:03
why
32:05
there's
32:05
more
32:05
engagement
32:06
or
32:07
time.
32:08
Okay.
32:08
And
32:09
it's
32:09
definitely
32:09
worth
32:11
and
32:11
it's
32:11
also
32:12
hired
32:12
to
32:13
speak
32:13
at
32:13
conference
32:14
ikeno
32:15
conferences
32:16
and
32:16
a
32:16
lot
32:16
of
32:17
those
32:17
opportunities
32:17
and
32:18
through
32:18
LinkedIn.
32:19
And
32:20
that's
32:20
a
32:20
great
32:21
point.
32:21
I
32:21
had
32:21
never
32:22
even
32:22
thought
32:22
about
32:22
that.
32:23
But
32:23
that's
32:23
a
32:23
great
32:23
point
32:24
for
32:25
because
32:25
some
32:26
of
32:26
the
32:26
what
32:27
I'm
32:27
tend
32:27
that's
32:28
why
32:28
I
32:28
ask
32:28
about
32:28
what's
32:29
your
32:29
business
32:29
plan
32:30
Because
32:31
a
32:31
lot
32:31
of
32:31
times
32:32
as
32:33
a
32:33
independent
32:34
or
32:35
a
32:35
published
32:35
children's
32:36
book
32:36
author
32:37
is
32:37
if
32:37
you
32:38
only
32:38
have
32:38
one
32:38
or
32:39
two
32:39
titles
32:40
it's
32:40
hard
32:40
to
32:40
develop
32:41
a
32:42
business
32:43
around
32:43
just
32:43
those
32:44
one
32:44
or
32:44
two
32:44
titles.
32:45
So
32:45
you
32:45
really
32:45
have
32:46
to
32:46
think
32:46
outside
32:47
the
32:47
book
32:48
and
32:48
going
32:49
and
32:49
speaking
32:49
in
32:50
public.
32:50
And
32:51
I
32:51
recently
32:51
had
32:51
a
32:51
guest
32:52
on
32:53
and
32:53
she
32:54
told
32:54
me
32:54
that
32:54
she
32:55
wrote
32:55
her
32:55
first
32:55
children's
32:56
book.
32:57
And
32:57
when
32:57
she
32:58
went
32:58
and
32:58
did
32:58
all
32:58
these
32:59
events
32:59
like
33:00
she
33:00
would
33:00
go
33:00
to
33:00
markets
33:01
and
33:02
children's
33:03
festivals
33:03
and
33:03
stuff
33:04
like
33:04
that.
33:04
She
33:05
was
33:05
finding
33:05
that
33:06
she
33:06
had
33:06
a
33:06
lot
33:06
of
33:06
people
33:07
coming
33:07
up
33:07
to
33:07
her
33:08
saying
33:08
how
33:08
do
33:09
I
33:09
become
33:09
a
33:09
children's
33:10
book
33:10
author?
33:11
And
33:11
she
33:11
actually
33:12
ended
33:12
up
33:12
she
33:13
had
33:13
so
33:13
many
33:13
requests
33:14
she
33:14
said
33:15
I
33:15
think
33:15
there's
33:16
a
33:16
business
33:16
opportunity
33:17
here.
33:17
And
33:18
she
33:18
set
33:18
up
33:18
her
33:18
own
33:19
publishing
33:19
house.
33:20
So
33:20
you
33:20
just
33:21
don't
33:21
know
33:21
where
33:22
a
33:22
book
33:23
will
33:23
take
33:23
you.
33:24
But
33:24
you
33:24
certainly
33:24
need
33:25
to
33:25
find
33:25
a
33:25
way
33:26
other
33:27
than
33:27
one
33:27
or
33:27
two
33:28
titles
33:28
to
33:28
support
33:28
yourself
33:30
in
33:30
this
33:31
journey
33:31
as
33:31
a
33:31
children's
33:32
book
33:32
author.
33:33
Oh
33:34
and
33:34
then
33:34
once
33:34
you
33:35
as
33:36
you
33:36
have
33:36
different
33:38
like
33:39
we've
33:39
each
33:40
published
33:41
and
33:42
that's
33:43
very
33:44
and
33:44
they're
33:44
all
33:44
in
33:45
print
33:46
we've
33:46
made
33:46
the
33:46
strategic
33:47
print
33:49
festivals
33:50
now
33:50
we
33:52
because
33:52
before
33:53
you
33:54
have
33:54
a
33:54
few
33:54
books
33:54
you
33:54
only
33:54
need
33:55
half
33:56
a
33:56
table
33:57
right
33:57
Bind
33:58
together
33:58
And
33:58
then
33:58
we
33:59
needed
34:00
and
34:00
then
34:00
we
34:00
started
34:00
getting
34:01
10
34:01
now
34:02
we're
34:02
looking
34:02
at
34:02
10
34:02
by
34:03
20
34:03
like
34:04
that's
34:06
space
34:06
but
34:06
we
34:06
still
34:07
have
34:07
so
34:08
many
34:08
titles
34:08
and
34:08
we
34:09
love
34:09
as
34:10
things
34:10
end
34:10
up
34:12
kind
34:12
of
34:12
way
34:13
when
34:14
someone
34:14
comes
34:15
to
34:15
the
34:16
booth
34:17
oh
34:17
it's
34:17
okay
34:18
we
34:18
have
34:19
40
34:20
books
34:21
get
34:21
down
34:21
to
34:22
cut
34:22
to
34:22
the
34:23
that
34:23
they're
34:23
looking
34:23
for
34:24
like
34:25
shopping
34:25
for
34:26
today.
34:26
You
34:26
know
34:26
right.
34:27
How
34:27
old
34:27
are
34:27
they
34:28
are
34:29
trying
34:29
to
34:30
thing
34:31
for
34:31
them
34:31
at
34:31
the
34:31
right
34:31
time.
34:32
Being
34:33
an
34:33
owl
34:34
person
34:35
about
34:35
every
34:36
single
34:37
It's
34:38
a
34:38
good
34:38
problem
34:38
to
34:38
have
34:39
but
34:39
it's
34:40
thing
34:40
to
34:41
figure
34:41
out
34:41
because
34:42
we'll
34:42
have
34:43
a
34:43
line
34:43
and
34:44
I'm
34:44
like
34:44
oh
34:44
my
34:45
people
34:45
waiting.
34:46
They've
34:46
got
34:46
babies.
34:47
I
34:47
know
34:47
what
34:48
that's
34:48
like
34:49
cut
34:49
to
34:49
the
34:49
chase
34:50
like
34:50
you
34:50
can
34:50
figure
34:50
out
34:50
your
34:51
little
34:51
incredible.
34:51
But
34:52
like
34:52
you
34:52
said
34:52
this
34:53
has
34:53
been
34:53
a
34:53
15
34:53
year
34:54
journey,
34:54
right?
34:55
Yes,
34:55
that's
34:56
right.
34:56
Yeah.
34:56
It
34:57
hasn't
34:57
been
34:58
overnight
34:58
success.
34:59
Oh
34:59
no.
35:00
Nothing
35:00
ever
35:00
is
35:01
nothing
35:02
worthwhile
35:02
I
35:02
think
35:04
for
35:04
sure
35:04
but
35:05
it's
35:05
so
35:05
fulfilling.
35:06
Right.
35:06
I
35:06
had
35:06
a
35:07
friend
35:07
who
35:07
was
35:07
a
35:08
vegetarian
35:09
and
35:09
he
35:09
was
35:09
following
35:09
me
35:09
around
35:10
for
35:10
a
35:10
day
35:11
I
35:11
don't
35:11
know
35:11
9
35:11
years
35:12
ago
35:12
something
35:12
like
35:12
that.
35:13
And
35:13
he
35:14
said
35:14
people
35:15
knew
35:15
how
35:15
hard
35:16
you
35:16
had
35:16
to
35:16
work
35:16
for
35:16
it
35:17
on
35:18
it.
35:19
And
35:19
I
35:19
was
35:19
like
35:19
that's
35:20
a
35:20
really
35:20
perspective
35:21
but
35:21
I
35:21
can't
35:21
not
35:22
do
35:22
it.
35:23
That's
35:23
the
35:23
thing.
35:24
It's
35:25
part
35:25
of
35:25
who
35:25
I
35:25
am.
35:26
These
35:26
ideas
35:28
love
35:28
these
35:28
characters.
35:29
I
35:29
can't
35:29
not
35:29
share
35:30
their
35:30
story.
35:31
It's
35:31
just
35:32
you
35:32
have
35:32
so
35:32
many
35:32
ideas
35:34
pipeline
35:34
I
35:35
have
35:35
to
35:35
figure
35:35
out
35:35
who's
35:35
next.
35:36
You're
35:36
on
35:36
hold.
35:38
So
35:38
I
35:38
want
35:39
to
35:39
talk
35:39
to
35:39
you
35:40
from
35:40
two
35:41
aspects
35:41
beyond
35:42
words
35:43
and
35:43
then
35:44
talk
35:44
about
35:45
your
35:46
your
35:46
books.
35:47
Your
35:47
own
35:47
books.
35:48
And
35:49
even
35:49
though
35:49
they're
35:50
both
35:50
the
35:50
same
35:50
thing
35:50
but
35:51
beyond
35:51
words
35:52
is
35:53
was
35:53
there
35:55
talk
35:55
to
35:55
us
35:56
about
35:56
that
35:57
specific
35:58
moment
35:58
when
36:00
you
36:00
thought
36:01
oh
36:02
when
36:02
someone
36:02
aflac
36:03
approaches
36:03
you
36:04
that's
36:04
like
36:04
a
36:05
big
36:05
compliment
36:07
but
36:07
you
36:08
still
36:08
have
36:08
to
36:08
think
36:09
oh
36:10
this
36:10
is
36:10
something
36:11
different.
36:12
So
36:12
how
36:13
did
36:13
you
36:13
know
36:14
what
36:15
was
36:15
that
36:15
moment
36:16
and
36:16
you
36:16
said
36:16
you
36:16
know
36:17
what
36:18
this
36:18
is
36:18
a
36:18
great
36:18
opportunity.
36:19
I'm
36:19
going
36:20
to
36:20
do
36:20
it.
36:21
Initially
36:22
approached
36:22
I
36:22
was
36:22
full
36:23
and
36:23
then
36:24
I
36:24
was
36:24
like
36:24
I
36:24
don't
36:25
because
36:27
I
36:27
had
36:27
over
36:28
12
36:29
world
36:29
before
36:31
and
36:31
I've
36:31
been
36:32
on
36:33
for
36:33
longer
36:33
now
36:33
than
36:35
world
36:35
so
36:36
I
36:36
was
36:36
like
36:36
I
36:37
already
36:37
had
36:38
A
36:38
book
36:38
already
36:39
scheduled
36:40
to
36:41
which
36:42
was
36:42
wishing
36:42
you
36:42
ran
36:44
and
36:45
I
36:45
was
36:45
like
36:45
that
36:46
yeah
36:46
was
36:47
I
36:47
didn't
36:48
take
36:48
to
36:48
delay
36:49
the
36:49
release
36:49
of
36:50
the
36:50
book
36:50
cause
36:51
I
36:51
already
36:51
had
36:51
everything
36:52
I
36:52
interviewed
36:53
all
36:53
the
36:53
things
36:54
how
36:54
to
36:54
do
36:54
this
36:55
I
36:55
had
36:55
a
36:55
2
36:55
year
36:56
old
36:56
and
36:56
a
36:57
gosh
36:58
how
36:58
old
36:58
was
36:58
he?
36:59
34
37:01
month
37:01
old
37:02
so
37:02
it
37:03
was
37:03
like
37:03
time
37:04
is
37:04
very
37:04
in
37:04
demand
37:06
and
37:06
I
37:06
don't
37:07
want
37:07
to
37:07
something
37:08
that
37:08
I
37:08
can't
37:08
give
37:09
my
37:10
like
37:10
it
37:10
deserves
37:11
the
37:11
attention
37:13
of
37:14
any
37:14
other
37:14
book
37:15
I
37:15
would
37:16
create
37:16
so
37:17
hesitant
37:18
mid
37:19
until
37:20
the
37:21
team
37:22
a
37:22
a
37:23
teams
37:23
call
37:24
I
37:24
got
37:24
to
37:24
meet
37:25
the
37:26
and
37:28
their
37:28
own
37:28
not
37:29
from
37:30
their
37:30
own
37:30
perspectives
37:31
like
37:31
why
37:31
the
37:31
book
37:32
mattered
37:32
they
37:33
wanted
37:33
to
37:33
make
37:33
it
37:34
they
37:35
thought
37:35
that
37:35
I
37:35
would
37:36
be
37:36
a
37:36
good
37:36
fit
37:36
for
37:36
it
37:37
and
37:38
while
37:38
I
37:38
was
37:38
chatting
37:39
with
37:39
them
37:40
just
37:40
had
37:40
this
37:42
overwhelming
37:44
it's
37:44
like
37:44
magic
37:45
it
37:45
was
37:45
like
37:46
like
37:46
a
37:46
hug
37:47
I'm
37:48
a
37:48
very
37:48
sensory
37:49
person
37:50
and
37:51
I
37:52
fall
37:53
like
37:53
too
37:54
almost
37:54
sometimes
37:54
like
37:55
I'm
37:55
in
37:55
a
37:56
this
37:56
doesn't
37:56
feel
37:56
right
37:57
and
37:57
I'll
37:57
just
37:58
make
37:58
sure
37:58
go
37:59
I'm
37:59
like
38:00
no
38:00
it
38:00
just
38:00
wasn't
38:01
for
38:01
me
38:01
but
38:01
this
38:02
was
38:02
definitely
38:03
it
38:04
felt
38:04
and
38:04
I
38:04
don't
38:04
use
38:05
those
38:06
I
38:06
I
38:08
to
38:08
make
38:08
it
38:08
work
38:09
and
38:09
that
38:10
like
38:10
I
38:10
have
38:11
this
38:11
other
38:12
that
38:12
I've
38:13
worked
38:13
so
38:13
hard
38:14
I've
38:14
I
38:14
have
38:14
it
38:15
planned
38:16
originally
38:16
we
38:17
were
38:17
thinking
38:17
having
38:18
they
38:18
wanted
38:18
me
38:18
to
38:19
delay
38:19
it
38:20
do
38:20
it
38:20
I
38:20
can't
38:20
delay
38:22
and
38:22
they
38:22
thought
38:22
about
38:22
it
38:23
and
38:23
they're
38:23
like
38:24
you
38:24
do
38:24
the
38:24
book
38:26
if
38:26
you
38:26
will
38:27
please.
38:28
And
38:28
then
38:28
I
38:28
was
38:28
like
38:29
I'm
38:29
in
38:29
excellent
38:31
that
38:31
makes
38:32
it
38:32
a
38:33
yes
38:33
for
38:33
me.
38:34
And
38:35
I
38:35
was
38:36
because
38:37
I
38:37
was
38:38
about
38:38
this
38:39
book
38:40
that
38:40
I
38:40
was
38:41
told
38:41
about
38:42
or
38:42
we
38:42
had
38:43
even
38:43
inked
38:43
the
38:44
ideas
38:45
about
38:45
the
38:45
character
38:47
it
38:47
was
38:47
just
38:47
meant
38:48
to
38:48
and
38:49
that
38:49
was
38:49
so
38:49
let's
38:49
pick.
38:49
Up
38:50
on
38:50
character
38:51
development
38:51
because
38:52
I
38:53
have
38:53
to
38:53
tell
38:53
you
38:53
a
38:54
story
38:55
about
38:56
my
38:57
oldest
38:58
granddaughter
38:58
because
38:59
your
38:59
the
39:00
book
39:00
beyond
39:00
words
39:01
really
39:02
struck
39:03
home
39:03
and
39:04
what
39:04
happened
39:05
was
39:05
when
39:06
my
39:06
granddaughter
39:07
was
39:08
young
39:08
younger
39:09
and
39:09
she
39:09
was
39:09
going
39:09
to
39:10
daycare
39:11
and
39:12
with
39:12
my
39:12
career
39:13
I
39:13
had
39:13
some
39:13
flexibility
39:14
and
39:14
I
39:14
had
39:14
a
39:15
lot
39:15
of
39:15
personal
39:15
holidays
39:16
so
39:17
her
39:17
and
39:17
I
39:17
would
39:18
hang
39:18
out
39:19
and
39:20
what
39:20
happened
39:21
was
39:21
her
39:21
daycare
39:23
they
39:24
had
39:25
a
39:25
rabbit
39:26
they
39:26
had
39:26
this
39:27
bunny
39:28
and
39:28
you
39:29
and
39:29
each
39:29
child
39:30
if
39:30
they
39:30
were
39:30
going
39:31
on
39:31
a
39:31
trick
39:32
they
39:32
got
39:32
to
39:33
take
39:33
the
39:33
bunny
39:34
with
39:34
them
39:35
including
39:35
a
39:36
suitcase
39:36
full
39:36
of
39:37
clothes
39:38
and
39:38
yeah
39:38
it
39:39
was
39:39
a
39:39
lot
39:39
of
39:39
fun.
39:40
So
39:40
the
39:40
bunny's
39:41
name
39:41
was
39:41
Georgia
39:43
and
39:43
we
39:44
ended
39:44
up
39:44
because
39:45
we
39:46
had
39:46
a
39:46
home
39:46
in
39:46
the
39:46
Rocky
39:47
Mountains.
39:47
We
39:47
would
39:48
drive
39:48
down
39:48
there
39:49
and
39:49
of
39:50
course
39:50
I
39:50
would
39:51
have
39:51
to
39:51
not
39:52
only
39:52
put
39:52
my
39:52
granddaughter
39:53
in
39:53
her
39:53
child
39:54
proof
39:54
seat
39:55
I'd
39:55
also
39:56
have
39:56
to
39:56
make
39:56
sure
39:56
that
39:57
Georgia
39:58
was
39:58
wearing
39:58
her
39:59
seatbelt
40:00
and
40:01
so
40:01
it
40:01
was
40:01
a
40:01
lot
40:01
of
40:02
fun.
40:02
So
40:02
when
40:03
we
40:03
got
40:03
to
40:03
the
40:03
Rocky
40:03
Mountains
40:05
Kira
40:05
and
40:05
I
40:05
would
40:06
take
40:06
Georgia
40:06
and
40:07
we
40:07
would
40:07
go
40:07
all
40:08
over
40:08
the
40:09
place
40:10
having
40:10
these
40:10
adventures
40:11
with
40:11
Georgia
40:12
the
40:12
bunny.
40:14
So
40:14
the
40:15
reason
40:15
I
40:15
bring
40:15
this
40:15
up
40:16
is
40:17
that
40:18
Georgia
40:18
got
40:18
so
40:19
popular
40:19
at
40:19
the
40:20
daycare
40:20
they
40:21
had
40:21
to
40:21
get
40:21
another
40:23
plushie
40:24
and
40:24
they
40:24
got
40:25
George
40:26
a
40:27
bear.
40:27
So
40:28
now
40:28
you've
40:28
got
40:28
this
40:29
rat,
40:29
a
40:29
bunny
40:30
and
40:30
this
40:30
bear.
40:31
So
40:31
you
40:31
can
40:31
see
40:31
why
40:32
the
40:32
story
40:33
really
40:33
stuck
40:33
with
40:34
me
40:34
because
40:34
all
40:34
of
40:34
a
40:35
sudden
40:35
you've
40:35
got
40:36
these
40:36
two
40:36
main
40:36
characters
40:37
a
40:37
bunny
40:38
and
40:38
a
40:38
bear.
40:39
And
40:40
it
40:40
was
40:40
interesting
40:41
Now
40:41
I
40:41
know
40:41
they
40:41
were
40:42
friends
40:43
but
40:43
in
40:43
Kira's
40:44
mind
40:44
and
40:45
even
40:45
the
40:45
daycare's
40:46
mind
40:46
they
40:46
told
40:47
them
40:47
that
40:48
George
40:49
the
40:49
bear
40:50
was
40:51
George's
40:51
brother.
40:53
And
40:53
in
40:53
child's
40:54
mind
40:55
they
40:55
didn't
40:55
see
40:56
any
40:56
issues
40:57
with
40:57
that
40:57
whatsoever.
40:58
So
40:59
any
40:59
anyways
41:00
I
41:00
just.
41:01
I'm
41:01
off
41:01
topic
41:02
a
41:02
little
41:02
bit
41:03
but
41:03
you
41:03
know
41:03
what
41:03
I
41:04
wanted
41:04
you
41:04
to
41:04
know
41:05
how
41:05
it
41:05
tugged
41:06
at
41:06
my
41:06
heart
41:07
with
41:07
this
41:07
bunny
41:08
and
41:08
this
41:09
bear
41:09
and
41:09
why
41:10
it
41:10
was
41:10
significant
41:10
to
41:11
to
41:11
me.
41:13
So
41:13
sisters
41:14
were
41:14
very
41:14
into
41:15
the
41:15
so
41:16
tell
41:16
us
41:16
why.
41:16
Why
41:17
a
41:17
bear
41:17
and
41:18
why
41:18
a
41:18
bunny.
41:19
I
41:20
was
41:20
thinking
41:21
what
41:21
is
41:22
the
41:22
most
41:23
stuffed
41:24
animal
41:25
because
41:26
one
41:27
is
41:28
going
41:28
they
41:29
want
41:29
to
41:29
hug
41:30
something.
41:31
What
41:31
do
41:31
kids
41:32
reach
41:32
for
41:33
did
41:33
some
41:33
research
41:34
and
41:34
I
41:35
that
41:35
over
41:36
60%
41:37
of
41:37
the
41:38
time
41:38
teddy
41:39
bear
41:39
over
41:40
60
41:41
depends
41:41
on
41:41
which
41:42
study
41:43
the
41:43
numbers
41:44
are
41:44
huge
41:45
Any
41:45
other
41:47
big
41:47
kid
41:47
that
41:47
I
41:48
know
41:49
sister
41:49
growing
41:50
up
41:51
bunny
41:52
that
41:53
sleeps
41:53
in
41:53
the
41:53
crib
41:55
that
41:55
bunny
41:56
is
41:57
to
41:57
crib
41:58
level
41:58
right
41:59
still
41:59
has
41:59
hers
42:00
and
42:00
I
42:01
my
42:01
daughter
42:02
the
42:02
exact
42:03
still
42:03
make
42:04
it
42:05
prize
42:05
my
42:05
daughter
42:06
with
42:06
it
42:06
and
42:07
it's
42:07
still
42:08
I
42:08
was
42:08
like
42:09
and
42:09
then
42:09
my
42:09
nephew
42:10
they
42:11
all
42:11
have
42:11
a
42:11
bunny
42:12
so
42:13
it's
42:13
a
42:13
bear.
42:15
But
42:15
what
42:15
are
42:15
the
42:16
other
42:17
that
42:17
kids
42:17
most
42:18
so
42:18
I
42:19
did
42:19
research
42:19
on
42:19
that
42:20
we
42:21
as
42:21
you're
42:21
going
42:21
through
42:22
there's
42:23
classroom
42:23
scenes
42:24
yes
42:24
where
42:25
you
42:25
see
42:25
a
42:27
turtle
42:27
none
42:27
of
42:28
those
42:28
are
42:28
by
42:28
coincidence
42:29
they
42:29
are
42:30
all
42:30
there
42:30
because
42:31
kids
42:32
like
42:33
and
42:34
that's
42:34
what
42:34
I
42:34
thought
42:35
to
42:36
see
42:36
in
42:36
the
42:36
book
42:38
of
42:38
these
42:39
and
42:40
the
42:40
reason
42:40
that
42:40
they're
42:41
named
42:41
and
42:42
bunny
42:43
those
42:44
are
42:44
very
42:44
common
42:44
names
42:46
to
42:46
those
42:46
characters
42:47
though
42:48
they
42:48
all
42:48
these
42:50
letter
42:50
indifference
42:52
that.
42:56
Could
42:57
have
42:57
easily
42:57
been
42:58
in
42:58
the
42:58
hospital
43:00
could
43:00
have
43:01
been
43:01
the
43:01
one
43:01
on
43:01
the
43:01
adventure
43:02
they're
43:02
all
43:02
the
43:03
same
43:04
it
43:04
could
43:04
have
43:04
easily
43:04
been
43:05
either
43:06
so
43:06
I
43:07
liked
43:08
it
43:09
kids
43:09
and
43:09
families
43:09
would
43:10
be
43:10
able
43:10
to
43:10
relate
43:12
one
43:12
child
43:13
something
43:13
but
43:13
it
43:13
could
43:13
easily
43:14
been
43:15
yes
43:15
we
43:16
all
43:16
need.
43:16
Pork
43:17
for
43:17
sure
43:18
and
43:18
like
43:18
I
43:18
mentioned
43:19
to
43:19
you
43:19
before
43:20
we
43:20
started
43:21
recording
43:21
the
43:21
show
43:22
is
43:22
that
43:23
it
43:23
was
43:23
because
43:24
of
43:24
one
43:25
of
43:25
our
43:26
like
43:26
our
43:27
first
43:27
customer
43:28
who
43:29
said
43:29
to
43:29
us
43:30
you
43:30
know
43:30
what
43:31
we'll
43:31
sell
43:32
a
43:32
lot
43:32
more
43:32
books
43:33
if
43:33
we
43:33
have
43:34
a
43:34
accompanying
43:35
plushie
43:36
to
43:36
go
43:36
with
43:36
your
43:36
book
43:37
and
43:38
what's
43:38
been
43:38
amazing
43:39
is
43:39
since
43:39
that
43:40
time
43:40
we
43:41
actually
43:41
have
43:42
gotten
43:42
our
43:42
books
43:44
listed
43:45
into
43:45
three
43:46
major
43:47
hotels
43:48
in
43:48
the
43:48
Rocky
43:49
Mountains
43:50
and
43:51
they
43:51
took
43:52
our
43:52
book
43:52
because
43:53
of
43:53
the
43:54
plushie
43:54
and
43:55
we
43:55
just
43:55
received
43:56
our
43:56
third
43:56
order
43:58
which
43:58
and
43:58
they
43:58
just
43:58
started
43:59
just
43:59
before
43:59
Christmas.
44:00
So
44:00
it's
44:00
pretty
44:01
amazing
44:02
when
44:02
people
44:03
when
44:04
kids
44:04
have
44:04
the
44:04
book
44:05
and
44:06
the
44:06
stuffy
44:07
or
44:07
the
44:07
plushie
44:08
to
44:08
go
44:08
with
44:08
it
44:08
it's
44:09
pretty
44:09
remarkable
44:11
and
44:11
I
44:11
could
44:12
show
44:12
you
44:12
a
44:12
whole
44:13
bunch
44:13
of
44:13
pictures
44:13
but
44:14
that's
44:14
another
44:14
show
44:16
so
44:16
let's
44:17
talk
44:17
about
44:18
towards
44:18
the
44:18
end
44:19
of
44:19
the
44:19
book
44:19
Buddy
44:20
and
44:20
bunny
44:21
I
44:21
like
44:22
the
44:22
little
44:22
twist
44:22
at
44:23
the
44:23
end
44:23
with
44:23
the
44:23
aflac
44:24
duck
44:25
so
44:27
explain
44:28
how
44:28
that
44:30
was
44:30
that
44:30
ending
44:31
and
44:31
that
44:31
connection
44:33
was
44:33
that
44:34
there
44:35
right
44:35
from
44:35
the
44:35
get
44:36
go
44:37
did
44:37
you
44:37
have
44:38
that
44:38
as
44:38
the
44:39
end
44:39
in
44:39
mind
44:40
I.
44:40
Wanted
44:41
something
44:41
that
44:43
the
44:43
heart
44:43
of
44:43
the
44:43
story
44:44
but
44:46
very
44:46
much
44:46
a
44:46
discovery
44:47
process
44:47
like
44:48
I
44:49
think
44:49
when
44:49
we
44:49
first
44:49
started
44:51
I
44:51
was
44:51
telling
44:51
them
44:51
like
44:52
there
44:53
were
44:53
different
44:53
planets
44:54
they
44:55
haven't
44:55
so
44:57
this
44:57
beyond
44:57
words
44:58
is
44:58
inspired
45:00
is
45:00
already
45:00
done
45:00
through
45:00
my
45:02
duck
45:02
which
45:02
is
45:03
the
45:03
animatronic
45:04
duck
45:05
you
45:06
give
45:06
to
45:06
children
45:07
cancer
45:08
treatments
45:10
app
45:10
that
45:11
accompany
45:12
and
45:12
when
45:12
I
45:12
was
45:12
doing
45:12
my
45:13
I
45:13
downloaded
45:14
the
45:14
app
45:16
how
45:16
knit
45:16
that
45:18
and
45:18
then
45:18
there's
45:18
a
45:19
of
45:20
the
45:20
app
45:20
where
45:20
the
45:22
off
45:22
into
45:22
space
45:23
and
45:23
sound
45:24
skips
45:25
thought
45:26
we
45:26
can
45:26
space
45:26
this
45:27
such
45:28
an
45:28
intricate
45:29
and
45:31
possibilities
45:31
right
45:33
There's
45:33
a
45:33
lot
45:33
of
45:33
things
45:34
with
45:34
that
45:35
from
45:35
a
45:35
creativity
45:36
doesn't
45:37
lock
45:37
us
45:37
down
45:37
into
45:37
a
45:38
classroom
45:39
setting
45:40
and
45:40
I
45:40
like
45:41
to
45:41
a
45:42
whimsical
45:43
when
45:44
they're
45:44
discovering
45:44
something
45:45
new
45:45
about
45:45
themselves
45:47
think
45:49
inside
45:49
the
45:49
box
45:50
the
45:50
limitations
45:50
of
45:50
what
45:51
we
45:51
have
45:52
whatever
45:52
situation
45:52
that
45:53
they're
45:54
so
45:56
we
45:56
showed
45:56
the
45:57
different
45:58
love
45:58
on
45:59
each
46:00
and
46:00
what
46:00
if
46:01
we
46:01
made
46:02
something
46:03
super
46:04
where
46:04
they
46:04
would
46:04
be
46:05
like
46:05
I
46:06
to
46:06
the
46:06
puppy
46:07
planet
46:08
that
46:08
sounds
46:08
amazing
46:09
to
46:09
me
46:10
or
46:10
robot
46:11
world
46:11
would
46:12
that
46:12
be
46:12
for
46:12
a
46:12
kid
46:12
to
46:13
go
46:13
to
46:13
robot
46:13
world
46:14
each
46:14
of
46:14
the
46:14
planets
46:16
had
46:16
a
46:16
form
46:17
that
46:18
didn't
46:18
require
46:20
thing
46:20
to
46:20
say
46:21
really
46:22
wanted
46:22
to
46:22
bring
46:22
home
46:24
last
46:25
want
46:25
to
46:26
give
46:26
a
46:26
spoiler
46:26
but
46:26
I
46:27
will
46:27
alert
46:28
so
46:29
in
46:30
Buddy
46:30
goes
46:31
to
46:32
the
46:32
underwater
46:33
plant
46:36
the
46:37
creature
46:37
there
46:37
and
46:38
they
46:38
give
46:39
him
46:39
a
46:39
gift
46:40
Buddy
46:41
isn't
46:42
if
46:42
he
46:43
dreamt
46:44
experience
46:46
his
46:46
nana
46:47
bear
46:47
it
46:47
feels
46:48
like
46:48
back
46:49
when
46:49
he's
46:49
back
46:49
on
46:50
Earth
46:51
the
46:51
next
46:51
day
46:53
wants
46:53
to
46:53
do
46:53
something
46:54
nice
46:55
he
46:55
really
46:56
all
46:57
the
46:57
kids
46:57
for
46:58
her
46:58
they're
46:58
carrying
46:59
daydreaming
47:00
with
47:01
clouds
47:02
with
47:02
her
47:03
games
47:04
they're
47:04
giving
47:04
her
47:05
they're
47:05
doing
47:06
all
47:06
these
47:06
sweet
47:07
that
47:08
they
47:08
care
47:08
even
47:08
though
47:08
they
47:09
know
47:10
what
47:10
to
47:10
say
47:11
he
47:12
gets
47:12
his
47:12
chance
47:13
he's
47:14
really
47:14
excited
47:14
to
47:15
like
47:15
cares
47:16
and
47:16
he's
47:16
got
47:16
A
47:17
dandelions
47:18
which
47:18
is
47:19
symbolic
47:19
for
47:20
the
47:20
story.
47:20
And
47:20
it's
47:21
one
47:21
of
47:21
those
47:22
mentioned.
47:22
There's
47:22
a
47:22
dandelion
47:24
scene.
47:25
Yes.
47:26
That
47:27
looks
47:27
a
47:28
depending
47:28
on
47:28
the
47:28
planet
47:29
and
47:29
kids
47:30
will
47:30
see
47:30
that
47:31
that
47:31
it's
47:32
a
47:32
magical
47:33
thing
47:33
that's
47:33
planted
47:33
there.
47:34
But
47:34
also
47:35
when
47:35
he's
47:36
holding
47:36
the
47:36
dance
47:37
hand
47:37
in
47:38
his
47:38
pocket
47:38
and
47:38
he
47:39
that
47:41
and
47:41
he's
47:42
maybe
47:43
it's.
47:43
He
47:44
really
47:45
did
47:45
this
47:45
thing
47:46
incredible.
47:47
And
47:47
I
47:47
have
47:49
this
47:51
my
47:51
friend
47:52
still
47:52
get.
47:53
I
47:54
know.
47:54
And
47:55
so
47:55
that
47:56
when
47:56
you
47:56
were
47:57
developing
47:57
the
47:58
theme
47:58
for
47:59
Beyond
48:00
Words
48:01
how
48:02
did
48:02
you.
48:03
How
48:03
did
48:03
you
48:04
all
48:04
agree
48:04
to
48:05
how
48:05
that.
48:05
Because
48:06
there's
48:07
a
48:07
lot.
48:07
There's
48:07
a
48:08
lot
48:08
going
48:08
on
48:09
in
48:09
Beyond
48:09
Words.
48:10
It's.
48:11
It's
48:11
a
48:11
journey
48:12
through
48:12
so
48:13
many
48:13
experiences.
48:15
And
48:16
so
48:16
how
48:17
did
48:17
you
48:18
bring
48:19
all
48:19
that
48:19
together
48:20
into
48:21
one
48:22
theme
48:22
that
48:22
you
48:23
could
48:23
work
48:23
with?
48:24
I
48:25
think
48:25
it
48:25
is.
48:26
I
48:26
was
48:27
out
48:27
of
48:27
a
48:27
lot
48:28
of
48:28
the
48:28
time
48:29
and
48:30
I
48:30
was
48:31
brainstorming
48:31
while
48:31
I
48:31
was
48:32
on
48:32
the
48:32
elliptical.
48:33
I
48:33
was
48:33
having
48:33
meditation
48:34
and
48:34
then
48:35
regular
48:35
check
48:36
in
48:36
points
48:37
meetings.
48:38
What
48:38
if
48:38
we
48:38
did
48:39
this
48:39
that.
48:40
And
48:40
then
48:40
when
48:40
I
48:41
created
48:42
line
48:42
I
48:43
was
48:43
weaving
48:43
in
48:43
things
48:43
that
48:44
they
48:45
had
48:45
suggested
48:45
in
48:46
the
48:46
focus
48:46
groups
48:47
as
48:47
best
48:48
and
48:48
I
48:48
was
48:49
saying
48:50
these
48:50
choices.
48:50
You
48:51
know
48:51
why
48:52
it
48:52
was
48:52
a
48:52
rabbit.
48:52
Why
48:54
that
48:54
why
48:54
that.
48:54
And
48:55
one
48:55
of
48:55
the
48:56
to
48:56
me
48:56
was
48:57
not
48:57
that
48:57
he
48:58
the
48:58
planets
49:00
overcome
49:00
adversities
49:02
between
49:02
each
49:03
of
49:03
those
49:03
planets.
49:04
That's
49:04
why
49:05
you
49:05
have
49:05
him
49:06
asteroid
49:07
field.
49:08
That's
49:08
why
49:08
he's
49:10
and
49:10
the
49:10
giant
49:10
blob.
49:12
Because
49:13
that
49:13
I
49:14
wanted
49:14
kids
49:14
to
49:14
do
49:15
to
49:15
vicariously
49:17
confidence
49:18
through.
49:19
So
49:20
he's
49:20
not
49:20
just
49:20
going
49:20
in
49:21
oh
49:21
give
49:21
her
49:21
a
49:21
hug.
49:22
Oh
49:22
oh.
49:23
It's
49:23
like
49:25
experiencing
49:27
buying
49:27
different
49:27
things
49:28
and
49:28
have
49:29
but
49:29
then
49:29
trying
49:30
something
49:30
else
49:30
that
49:31
work.
49:31
So
49:32
he's
49:33
hoping
49:33
and
49:34
communication
49:35
and
49:36
difference
49:37
along
49:37
the
49:38
way
49:39
child
49:39
is
49:40
building
49:40
it
49:40
with
49:41
so
49:41
when
49:42
you
49:42
get
49:42
to
49:42
that
49:42
last
49:43
I
49:43
don't
49:43
think
49:44
there
49:44
were
49:44
many
49:45
like
49:45
everybody
49:46
was
49:46
like
49:47
yes
49:48
this
49:48
is
49:49
it.
49:49
You
49:49
know
49:49
all
49:50
the
49:50
ingredients
49:51
mix
49:52
it
49:52
up
49:52
in
49:52
the
49:52
right
49:52
order.
49:53
Something
49:54
really
49:54
good
49:54
at
49:54
the
49:54
end.
49:55
And
49:56
there
49:56
were
49:56
little
49:56
feedback
49:57
on
49:57
things
49:57
like
49:57
oh
49:58
make
49:58
sure
49:58
that
49:59
this
49:59
is
49:59
stay
50:00
to
50:00
make
50:00
to
50:01
up
50:01
point.
50:02
Yes
50:03
Type
50:03
of
50:03
thing.
50:04
But
50:04
there
50:04
wasn't
50:05
the
50:05
edits.
50:06
It
50:06
was
50:06
just.
50:07
It
50:08
felt
50:08
serendipitous.
50:09
Yeah.
50:10
And
50:10
I
50:10
loved
50:10
at
50:10
the
50:11
end
50:11
of
50:11
the
50:11
book
50:11
how
50:11
you
50:12
had
50:12
the
50:13
have
50:14
all
50:14
of
50:14
the
50:15
pictures
50:16
with
50:16
no
50:17
words
50:17
with
50:18
people
50:18
like
50:19
the
50:19
characters
50:19
together.
50:21
I
50:21
thought
50:21
that
50:21
was
50:21
a
50:21
very
50:22
nice
50:22
touch.
50:23
Yes
50:24
thank
50:24
you.
50:25
But
50:26
it's
50:26
beyond.
50:26
Yes.
50:28
And
50:29
we
50:29
talked
50:29
about
50:30
the
50:30
value
50:31
we
50:31
talked
50:31
about
50:32
the
50:32
incredible
50:32
value
50:33
through
50:33
the
50:33
audiobook.
50:34
But
50:35
also
50:35
I
50:35
noticed
50:36
when
50:36
I
50:37
went
50:38
there's
50:38
and
50:39
I
50:39
clicked
50:39
on
50:41
the
50:42
if
50:42
you
50:42
scroll
50:43
down
50:43
when
50:44
you
50:44
go
50:44
to
50:44
the
50:44
audiobook.
50:45
I
50:45
noticed
50:46
that
50:47
if
50:47
you
50:47
actually
50:47
scroll
50:48
up
50:48
you
50:48
find
50:49
coloring
50:50
pages
50:51
that
50:52
accompany
50:52
the
50:52
book.
50:53
And
50:53
I
50:53
wanted
50:53
to
50:53
make
50:53
sure
50:54
we
50:54
mentioned
50:54
that
50:54
because
50:55
I
50:55
thought
50:55
that
50:55
was
50:56
a
50:56
very
50:56
nice
50:56
touch
50:57
too
50:57
because
50:57
the
50:58
first
50:58
time
50:58
I
50:58
listened
50:59
to
50:59
the
50:59
audiobook
51:01
I
51:01
didn't
51:01
scroll
51:02
down
51:02
any
51:02
further.
51:03
But
51:03
the
51:04
second
51:04
time
51:05
that
51:05
I
51:05
thought
51:06
I
51:06
don't
51:07
know
51:07
what
51:07
happened.
51:07
Maybe
51:08
my
51:08
finger
51:08
slipped.
51:08
I
51:08
don't
51:09
know.
51:09
Anyways,
51:10
it
51:10
started
51:10
scrolling
51:11
up
51:11
and
51:11
all
51:11
of
51:11
a
51:11
sudden
51:12
these
51:12
coloring
51:12
pages
51:13
popped
51:13
up.
51:14
So
51:14
I
51:14
just
51:14
wanted
51:15
to
51:15
mention
51:15
that
51:15
to
51:16
anyone
51:16
listening
51:17
when
51:17
they
51:17
go
51:17
out
51:17
and
51:18
purchase
51:18
the
51:18
book
51:18
and
51:19
they
51:19
listen
51:19
to
51:20
the
51:20
audiobook
51:20
and
51:20
they
51:20
go
51:21
to
51:21
the
51:21
audiobook's
51:22
site.
51:22
Is
51:23
that
51:23
there's
51:24
extra
51:25
added
51:25
value
51:25
through
51:26
the
51:26
coloring
51:26
pages.
51:28
Oh
51:28
yeah.
51:28
So
51:29
is
51:29
that
51:29
Affleck
51:30
beyond
51:31
words
51:33
and
51:33
check
51:34
out.
51:34
Yeah,
51:36
for
51:36
sure.
51:37
Now
51:37
I
51:37
want
51:37
to
51:37
talk
51:38
to
51:38
you
51:38
about
51:38
your
51:39
writing
51:39
process
51:40
because
51:42
as
51:42
an
51:42
accomplished
51:43
children's
51:44
book
51:44
author
51:45
and
51:46
is
51:47
how
51:47
I'm
51:48
always
51:48
curious
51:49
how
51:49
has
51:49
your
51:49
writing
51:50
process
51:50
changed
51:51
from
51:51
when
51:52
you
51:52
first
51:52
started
51:52
your
51:53
first
51:53
book
51:54
to
51:54
now?
51:54
What's
51:55
changed?
51:56
Can
51:56
you
51:56
give
51:56
us
51:56
some
51:56
insights?
51:58
The
51:58
first
51:59
book
51:59
I
51:59
wrote
52:00
with
52:01
Rose
52:01
I
52:02
didn't
52:02
even
52:02
know
52:04
what
52:04
was
52:04
happening.
52:05
I
52:06
going
52:06
through
52:06
a
52:07
really
52:07
difficult
52:08
corporate
52:08
world
52:09
and
52:09
I
52:09
had
52:09
been
52:09
bullied
52:10
by
52:10
another
52:10
woman
52:10
in
52:11
my
52:11
workplace.
52:12
It
52:12
devastated
52:13
me.
52:14
I
52:14
just
52:15
didn't
52:15
know
52:16
like
52:16
that
52:17
it
52:17
worked
52:17
try
52:18
like
52:18
nothing
52:18
tried
52:19
to
52:20
fix
52:20
it.
52:20
And
52:21
I
52:21
was
52:21
one
52:22
day
52:22
and
52:22
I
52:22
was
52:22
just
52:24
set
52:24
and
52:25
I
52:26
of
52:26
total
52:26
surrender
52:27
where
52:27
I
52:27
was
52:27
like
52:28
I
52:28
will
52:28
do
52:28
it
52:29
change
52:30
this
52:30
situation.
52:31
And
52:32
that's
52:32
when
52:32
this
52:32
idea
52:33
came
52:33
to
52:33
me
52:33
about
52:33
a
52:34
Rose
52:34
that
52:34
grows
52:34
up
52:34
in
52:34
a
52:35
week.
52:35
She's
52:36
different
52:36
thinks
52:36
that
52:37
she.
52:38
And
52:38
then
52:38
it
52:38
wrote
52:39
far
52:40
and
52:40
I
52:40
had
52:41
this
52:42
happened
52:42
to
52:42
me
52:42
before
52:42
the
52:43
I
52:44
think
52:44
I
52:44
had
52:44
written
52:44
as
52:44
a
52:45
kid
52:46
very
52:46
carefully
52:48
but
52:48
this
52:48
was
52:48
like
52:49
that
52:49
was
52:50
just
52:50
flowing.
52:50
And
52:51
I
52:51
wrote
52:51
it
52:51
on
52:51
the
52:51
back
52:51
of
52:51
an
52:52
envelope
52:53
pencil
52:53
on
52:54
my
52:54
leg
52:54
at
52:55
the
52:55
stoplights.
52:55
Luckily
52:56
tons
52:56
of
52:56
stoplights
52:56
on
52:56
the
52:56
way
52:57
to
52:57
work
52:58
and
52:59
the
52:59
children's
52:59
book.
53:00
And
53:01
later
53:01
when
53:01
I
53:02
had
53:02
a
53:02
conversation
53:03
with
53:03
a
53:03
lady
53:04
for
53:04
about
53:05
writing
53:06
she
53:07
said
53:07
I
53:07
was
53:07
like
53:07
ah
53:08
business
53:08
and
53:08
marketing
53:09
and
53:09
stuff
53:09
and
53:10
she's
53:10
gonna
53:10
know
53:11
more.
53:12
And
53:13
I
53:13
thought
53:13
oh
53:15
little
53:15
story
53:15
in
53:15
a
53:15
drawer
53:17
me
53:17
and
53:17
I
53:18
told
53:18
her
53:19
remember
53:19
and
53:19
she
53:19
said
53:21
goosebumps
53:21
you
53:23
that
53:23
because
53:23
my
53:24
grandfather
53:25
that
53:25
message
53:26
maybe
53:27
it's
53:27
a
53:27
children's
53:27
book.
53:28
And
53:28
then
53:28
I
53:29
couldn't
53:29
not
53:30
know
53:30
what
53:31
I
53:31
was
53:31
doing.
53:31
I
53:31
made
53:31
tons.
53:32
So
53:33
my
53:33
first
53:33
book
53:35
the
53:35
first
53:35
draft
53:36
Dream
53:37
of
53:37
Consciousness
53:38
made
53:38
me
53:39
feel
53:39
like
53:39
I
53:39
was
53:39
writing
53:39
it
53:41
Second
53:41
book
53:42
an
53:43
idea
53:44
but
53:44
I
53:45
didn't
53:45
know
53:45
it.
53:46
And
53:46
I'm
53:46
a
53:47
plotter.
53:48
There's
53:48
plotters
53:48
and
53:49
pantser
53:50
I
53:50
am
53:50
definitely
53:50
a
53:51
plotter
53:51
in
53:51
life.
53:51
Like
53:51
I
53:52
have
53:52
plans,
53:52
I
53:52
have
53:53
goals
53:54
checklists
53:55
I
53:55
have
53:55
all
53:55
the
53:56
but
53:56
when
53:57
I
53:57
write
53:57
my
53:58
for
53:58
whatever
53:59
reason
54:00
I'm
54:00
a
54:01
pantser
54:01
what's
54:02
going
54:02
to
54:02
happen
54:02
either
54:04
And
54:04
I
54:04
like
54:04
that
54:04
character
54:05
and
54:05
I
54:06
I
54:06
go
54:06
oh
54:06
this
54:07
is
54:07
a
54:07
book
54:07
about
54:08
okay
54:08
cool
54:10
Beyond
54:10
Words
54:11
it
54:11
was
54:11
very
54:12
different.
54:13
I
54:13
had
54:13
a
54:13
committee
54:13
involved
54:15
I
54:15
had
54:16
to
54:17
structure
54:18
around
54:18
some
54:19
is
54:19
just
54:19
very
54:20
nebulous
54:21
and
54:22
hard
54:22
to
54:22
control.
54:24
So
54:25
really
54:26
great
54:26
challenge.
54:27
Did
54:28
you
54:28
do
54:28
much
54:29
research
54:30
when
54:30
you
54:31
wrote
54:31
Beyond
54:31
Words
54:32
like
54:33
all
54:33
of
54:33
you
54:33
together
54:34
and
54:35
then
54:36
you
54:36
separately
54:37
as
54:37
the
54:37
children's
54:38
book
54:38
author
54:39
what
54:39
did
54:40
that
54:40
look
54:40
like?
54:41
What
54:41
did
54:42
the
54:42
research
54:42
look
54:43
like?
54:44
All
54:44
of
54:44
the
54:44
results
54:46
group
54:46
studies
54:47
I
54:48
had
54:48
the
54:49
from
54:50
people
54:51
who
54:51
have
54:51
gone
54:52
through
54:52
childhood
54:52
cancer
54:53
people
54:53
who
54:54
have
54:54
children
54:54
who
54:54
are
54:55
experiencing
54:56
it
54:57
research
54:58
that
54:59
had
55:00
and
55:01
also
55:02
I
55:02
researched
55:03
stuffed
55:04
animals
55:04
all
55:05
things
55:06
and
55:06
then
55:07
all
55:08
of
55:08
that
55:08
kind
55:08
of
55:08
together
55:09
and
55:10
then
55:10
create
55:11
an
55:11
outline
55:11
because
55:12
want
55:13
to
55:13
be
55:13
writing
55:13
it
55:14
random
55:15
want
55:15
to
55:15
make
55:15
sure
55:15
I'm
55:16
but
55:17
particular
55:18
story
55:18
because
55:19
we
55:19
published
55:20
so
55:20
much
55:22
process
55:23
reach
55:24
that
55:24
really
55:24
guide
55:26
maybe
55:26
I'm
55:26
a
55:27
plotter
55:27
so
55:28
I
55:28
start
55:29
writing
55:30
I'm
55:31
into
55:32
projects
55:33
right
55:33
now
55:34
but
55:34
I'm
55:35
working
55:35
on
55:35
something
55:35
that
55:36
longer
55:37
I'm
55:37
working
55:37
on
55:37
a
55:37
middle
55:39
okay
55:40
Holy
55:41
moly.
55:41
And
55:41
I
55:41
want
55:42
so
55:42
I
55:43
want
55:43
to
55:43
talk
55:43
to
55:43
you
55:44
because
55:45
you've
55:45
got
55:45
so
55:45
much
55:46
going
55:46
on
55:46
and
55:47
first
55:47
I
55:47
want
55:48
to
55:48
talk
55:48
to
55:48
you
55:48
about
55:50
how
55:50
you're
55:50
viewing
55:52
I
55:52
guess
55:52
it's
55:52
viewing
55:53
success
55:53
by
55:54
committee.
55:55
So
55:55
how
55:56
what's
55:56
the
55:57
success
55:57
by
55:57
committee
55:58
going
55:58
to
55:58
look
55:58
like
55:59
for
55:59
Beyond
56:00
Words.
56:01
I
56:01
feel
56:03
when
56:04
out
56:05
they
56:06
this
56:06
amazing
56:08
book
56:08
tour
56:09
we
56:10
had
56:10
launch
56:10
events
56:10
and
56:11
two
56:12
we
56:12
had
56:13
I
56:14
mean
56:14
it
56:14
was
56:14
just
56:16
detail
56:16
was
56:18
considered
56:18
and
56:19
planned
56:20
Appreciate
56:20
that
56:20
because
56:21
putting
56:21
on
56:21
a
56:22
massive
56:22
endeavor
56:23
massive
56:24
and
56:24
these
56:24
events
56:25
did
56:25
was
56:26
at
56:26
the
56:27
corporate
56:27
headquarters
56:28
of
56:28
affluent
56:29
Georgia
56:29
Columbus,
56:30
Georgia.
56:32
They
56:32
were
56:33
to
56:34
the
56:34
executive
56:35
as
56:35
the
56:36
foundation
56:37
as
56:37
the
56:38
kids
56:38
that
56:39
as
56:39
well
56:39
as
56:40
the
56:40
employees.
56:43
Right.
56:44
But
56:44
they
56:45
I
56:46
walked
56:46
into
56:46
a
56:47
room
56:47
and
56:48
I
56:48
think
56:48
every
56:48
author
56:48
dreamed
56:49
was
56:50
like
56:50
beyond
56:52
but
56:52
I
56:52
walk
56:52
into
56:53
this
56:54
and
56:56
detail
56:56
from
56:56
the
56:57
life
56:58
they
56:58
have
56:59
is
56:59
some
57:00
of
57:00
them
57:00
were
57:00
as
57:00
tall
57:01
they
57:02
were
57:03
I
57:03
was
57:03
just
57:03
like
57:04
I
57:04
had
57:05
about
57:05
an
57:05
hour
57:05
before
57:06
age
57:06
and
57:06
I
57:06
was
57:07
so
57:07
grateful
57:07
because
57:08
I
57:08
couldn't
57:08
get
57:08
it
57:08
to
57:08
like
57:09
they
57:09
had
57:09
earned
57:10
projection
57:11
and
57:11
they
57:12
had
57:12
animated
57:12
scene
57:13
incredible
57:15
every
57:15
table
57:16
set
57:16
up
57:17
activity
57:17
that
57:18
brought
57:18
to
57:18
loud
57:19
planets
57:20
for
57:20
the
57:20
kids.
57:21
And
57:21
then
57:21
I
57:21
had
57:22
a
57:22
place
57:22
where
57:22
I
57:22
was
57:23
after
57:24
I
57:24
gave
57:25
I
57:25
mean
57:26
I
57:27
they
57:27
had
57:27
the
57:27

get
1:00:19
to
1:00:19
be
1:00:20
a
1:00:20
part
1:00:20
of
1:00:20
that
1:00:20
and
1:00:20
it
1:00:21
was
1:00:21
just
1:00:22
mind
1:00:23
blowing
1:00:24
incredible
1:00:25
experience
1:00:26
was
1:00:27
so
1:00:28
life
1:00:29
to
1:00:29
me
1:00:30
and
1:00:31
the
1:00:31
love
1:00:32
as
1:00:33
for
1:00:33
these
1:00:33
kids
1:00:34
and
1:00:34
you
1:00:35
can
1:00:35
feel
1:00:35
it
1:00:37
and
1:00:37
that
1:00:38
I.
1:00:39
Think
1:00:39
because
1:00:39
as
1:00:39
a
1:00:40
children's
1:00:40
book
1:00:40
authority
1:00:42
you
1:00:42
wouldn't
1:00:42
have
1:00:43
been
1:00:43
able
1:00:43
to
1:00:43
have
1:00:44
this
1:00:45
type
1:00:45
of
1:00:45
experience
1:00:46
on
1:00:47
your
1:00:47
own.
1:00:47
Correct
1:00:48
I
1:00:49
have
1:00:49
never
1:00:49
had
1:00:49
to
1:00:50
back
1:00:50
I've
1:00:50
had
1:00:51
it
1:00:52
here
1:00:53
there
1:00:53
a
1:00:54
month
1:00:54
apart
1:00:55
a
1:00:55
year
1:00:56
apart
1:00:56
had
1:00:57
14
1:00:57
hours
1:00:59
before

1:01:00
my
1:01:00
17
1:01:01
page
1:01:02
of
1:01:02
what
1:01:02
I
1:01:02
was
1:01:02
going
1:01:03
to
1:01:03
do
1:01:03
because
1:01:03
I
1:01:03
came
1:01:04
I
1:01:04
was
1:01:04
like
1:01:04
here's
1:01:04
where
1:01:04
I'm
1:01:05
going

be.

Here's

what
1:01:06
I'm
1:01:07

1:01:18
possible.
1:01:19
And
1:01:20
I
1:01:20
could
1:01:21
have
1:01:22
dreamt
1:01:22
about
1:01:23
collaboration
1:01:24
and

So

I
1:01:50
feel
1:01:50
so
1:01:51
lucky.
1:01:51
I
1:01:51
feel
1:01:51
so
1:01:51
lucky
1:01:52
to
1:01:53
be

be
1:01:57
a
1:01:57
part
1:01:57
of
1:01:57
something
1:01:57
that
1:01:57
had
1:01:58
an
1:01:59
impact.
1:01:59
Who
1:01:59
would
1:02:00
have
1:02:00
known
1:02:01
in
1:02:01
terms
1:02:01
of
1:02:01
the
1:02:02
role
1:02:02
of
1:02:03
writing.
1:02:04
Writing
1:02:04
a
1:02:04
children's
1:02:05
book.
1:02:05
Starting
1:02:06
with
1:02:06
writing
1:02:07
one
1:02:07
children's
1:02:07
book
1:02:08
and
1:02:08
then
1:02:09
how
1:02:09
it.
1:02:10
How
1:02:10
your
1:02:11
garden
1:02:12
grew,
1:02:12
you
1:02:13
blossom.
1:02:13
That's
1:02:13
right.
1:02:15
About
1:02:15
every
1:02:15
book.
1:02:16
Yes.
1:02:18
It's
1:02:18
incredible.
1:02:19
So
1:02:20
in
1:02:20
terms
1:02:21
of
1:02:21
your
1:02:21
time
1:02:23
devoting
1:02:24
your
1:02:24
time
1:02:24
to
1:02:24
writing
1:02:25
now,
1:02:25
what
1:02:26
does
1:02:26
that
1:02:26
look
1:02:27
like
1:02:27
and
1:02:27
are
1:02:28
you.
1:02:29
If
1:02:29
someone
1:02:29
came
1:02:30
to
1:02:30
you
1:02:30
with
1:02:30
another
1:02:31
opportunity
1:02:32
like
1:02:32
the
1:02:32
AFLAC
1:02:33
opportunity
1:02:35
would
1:02:35
you
1:02:35
have
1:02:35
time
1:02:35
to
1:02:36
take
1:02:36
on
1:02:36
it
1:02:37
on
1:02:37
and
1:02:37
would
1:02:37
you
1:02:37
want
1:02:38
to
1:02:38
take
1:02:38
it
1:02:38
on
1:02:40
writing
1:02:40
today?
1:02:41
Interesting.
1:02:43
I
1:02:43
have
1:02:43
a
1:02:43
couple
1:02:44
I
1:02:45
competing
1:02:45
for
1:02:45
my
1:02:45
attention.
1:02:46
Right.
1:02:47
I
1:02:47
think
1:02:47
I
1:02:48
signed
1:02:48
in
1:02:48
for
1:02:48
this
1:02:49
year.
1:02:49
We'll
1:02:49
see.
1:02:50
I
1:02:50
usually
1:02:50
am
1:02:50
for
1:02:51
this
1:02:52
but
1:02:52
I
1:02:52
was
1:02:52
focused
1:02:53
on.
1:02:53
I
1:02:54
mean
1:02:54
I've
1:02:54
had
1:02:54
two
1:02:54
books
1:02:55
four
1:02:55
months
1:02:56
literally
1:02:57
children's
1:02:58
books.
1:02:58
Which
1:02:58
is
1:02:59
for
1:03:00
me
1:03:01
getting
1:03:01
back
1:03:02
wagon
1:03:02
is
1:03:03
a
1:03:03
bit
1:03:03
of
1:03:03
a
1:03:03
challenge
1:03:04
the
1:03:04
marketing
1:03:05
part
1:03:06
of
1:03:06
the
1:03:06
cycle.
1:03:06
But
1:03:07
I
1:03:08
challenge
1:03:09
and
1:03:09
if
1:03:10
someone
1:03:10
did
1:03:10
come
1:03:11
it
1:03:12
made
1:03:12
sense
1:03:12
and
1:03:13
mission
1:03:14
and
1:03:15
time
1:03:15
and
1:03:16
energy
1:03:16
and
1:03:17
these
1:03:17
projects
1:03:18
takes
1:03:18
and
1:03:18
the
1:03:18
team
1:03:19
with
1:03:20
me.
1:03:20
Yeah,
1:03:20
I
1:03:20
would
1:03:20
totally
1:03:21
do
1:03:21
it
1:03:21
again,
1:03:21
like
1:03:22
excellent.
1:03:22
Wouldn't
1:03:23
take
1:03:23
the
1:03:23
opportunity
1:03:23
well,
1:03:23
it
1:03:23
was.
1:03:24
Like
1:03:24
such
1:03:24
a
1:03:24
great
1:03:24
experience.
1:03:25
It's
1:03:25
just
1:03:25
that
1:03:26
to
1:03:26
your
1:03:26
point,
1:03:27
the
1:03:27
time
1:03:28
to
1:03:28
then
1:03:28
go
1:03:28
out
1:03:29
because
1:03:29
it's
1:03:30
not
1:03:30
just
1:03:30
writing
1:03:30
the
1:03:31
book
1:03:31
now
1:03:31
you've
1:03:31
got
1:03:32
this
1:03:32
incredible
1:03:33
book
1:03:34
launch
1:03:35
this
1:03:35
rollout.
1:03:36
And
1:03:36
the
1:03:37
other
1:03:37
thing,
1:03:37
Sherry
1:03:38
is
1:03:38
that
1:03:39
I
1:03:39
always
1:03:39
say
1:03:40
to
1:03:41
now
1:03:41
in
1:03:42
this
1:03:42
case
1:03:42
I
1:03:43
don't
1:03:43
want
1:03:43
to
1:03:43
sound
1:03:43
negative.
1:03:44
The
1:03:44
thing
1:03:45
about
1:03:45
children's
1:03:46
books
1:03:47
is
1:03:47
that
1:03:47
you
1:03:48
have
1:03:48
a
1:03:48
renewable
1:03:49
resource.
1:03:50
You
1:03:50
have
1:03:51
children
1:03:52
and
1:03:53
they
1:03:53
come
1:03:53
into
1:03:53
you.
1:03:54
They're
1:03:54
born
1:03:55
into
1:03:55
your
1:03:55
age
1:03:55
category
1:03:56
every
1:03:56
day
1:03:57
and
1:03:57
some
1:03:57
of
1:03:57
them
1:03:57
leave
1:03:58
at
1:03:58
the
1:03:58
back
1:03:58
end.
1:03:59
But
1:03:59
you've
1:03:59
got
1:04:00
this
1:04:00
renewable
1:04:01
resource
1:04:01
coming
1:04:02
all
1:04:02
the
1:04:02
time
1:04:02
which
1:04:03
makes
1:04:03
you
1:04:03
book
1:04:04
timeless
1:04:04
and
1:04:05
I'd
1:04:06
love
1:04:06
to
1:04:06
see
1:04:06
a
1:04:06
cure
1:04:07
for
1:04:07
cancer
1:04:07
so
1:04:08
that
1:04:08
we
1:04:08
don't.
1:04:09
We
1:04:09
don't
1:04:09
need
1:04:10
to
1:04:10
do
1:04:11
fundraising
1:04:12
and
1:04:12
stuff
1:04:12
like
1:04:12
that.
1:04:14
But
1:04:14
we
1:04:14
don't
1:04:15
know
1:04:15
when
1:04:15
that's
1:04:15
going
1:04:15
to
1:04:15
happen
1:04:16
so
1:04:17
so
1:04:17
that
1:04:17
makes
1:04:17
it
1:04:17
a
1:04:18
little
1:04:18
more
1:04:18
difficult
1:04:19
because
1:04:19
I
1:04:20
don't
1:04:20
wish
1:04:20
for
1:04:21
more
1:04:22
children
1:04:23
with
1:04:23
cancer
1:04:23
to
1:04:23
come
1:04:24
into
1:04:24
the
1:04:24
world
1:04:25
but
1:04:25
we
1:04:25
all
1:04:25
know
1:04:26
that's
1:04:26
a
1:04:26
reality
1:04:28
and
1:04:28
if
1:04:28
we.
1:04:28
Can
1:04:29
help
1:04:30
then
1:04:32
no
1:04:32
for
1:04:33
sure
1:04:33
for.
1:04:33
Sure
1:04:34
so
1:04:34
advice
1:04:35
for
1:04:35
aspiring
1:04:36
authors
1:04:37
you've
1:04:37
got
1:04:38
your
1:04:38
life
1:04:38
as
1:04:39
a
1:04:39
children's
1:04:39
book
1:04:39
author
1:04:40
has
1:04:40
gone
1:04:40
to
1:04:40
the
1:04:41
next
1:04:41
level
1:04:42
I
1:04:42
think
1:04:42
I
1:04:43
want
1:04:43
I
1:04:43
want
1:04:43
to
1:04:43
be
1:04:43
like
1:04:44
Sherry
1:04:44
when
1:04:44
I
1:04:44
grow
1:04:45
up
1:04:46
so
1:04:46
talk
1:04:46
to
1:04:46
us
1:04:47
about
1:04:47
advice
1:04:48
for
1:04:48
aspiring
1:04:49
children's
1:04:50
book
1:04:50
authors
1:04:51
who
1:04:51
are
1:04:51
just
1:04:51
starting
1:04:51
out
1:04:52
they
1:04:52
don't
1:04:52
have
1:04:52
a
1:04:53
published
1:04:53
book
1:04:53
they
1:04:54
may
1:04:54
just
1:04:54
have
1:04:54
an
1:04:55
idea
1:04:55
what
1:04:56
advice
1:04:56
would
1:04:56
you
1:04:56
give
1:04:56
them
1:04:58
okay.
1:04:58
So
1:04:58
I
1:04:58
have
1:04:58
a
1:04:59
couple
1:04:59
of
1:04:59
things
1:05:00
number
1:05:00
one
1:05:00
is
1:05:00
write
1:05:01
the
1:05:01
story
1:05:02
don't
1:05:02
write
1:05:03
the
1:05:03
thing
1:05:03
that
1:05:03
you
1:05:03
think
1:05:03
will
1:05:04
be
1:05:04
successful
1:05:05
write
1:05:05
the
1:05:06
really
1:05:07
pulls
1:05:07
your
1:05:07
heart
1:05:07
be
1:05:09
when
1:05:09
you're
1:05:09
going
1:05:09
to
1:05:09
be
1:05:09
passionate
1:05:10
about
1:05:11
all
1:05:11
the
1:05:11
time
1:05:11
and
1:05:12
energy
1:05:13
and
1:05:13
effort
1:05:14
and
1:05:15
take
1:05:15
to
1:05:15
not
1:05:15
only
1:05:15
fit
1:05:16
so
1:05:17
share
1:05:17
it
1:05:17
with
1:05:17
the
1:05:18
world
1:05:18
because
1:05:18
it
1:05:18
is
1:05:19
you
1:05:20
can't
1:05:20
just
1:05:20
throw
1:05:21
ever
1:05:22
look
1:05:22
at
1:05:22
it
1:05:22
again
1:05:23
another
1:05:24
be

think

book
1:05:28
life
1:05:28
business
1:05:30
worthy
1:05:30
investment
1:05:31
and
1:05:31
some
1:05:31
are
1:05:32
you
1:05:32
got
1:05:32
to
1:05:33
look

starting
1:05:37
out
1:05:37
you
1:05:37
might

1:05:39
but
1:05:39
maybe
1:05:39
you
1:05:39
can't
1:05:40
okay
1:05:41
start
1:05:41
out
1:05:41
with
1:05:41
your
1:05:42
best
1:05:42
quality
1:05:43
paperback
1:05:43
you
1:05:43
can
1:05:44
if
1:05:44
you
1:05:45
really

wait
1:05:48
save
1:05:48
up
1:05:48
your

1:05:50
what

you
1:05:51
equality
1:05:53
what

want
1:05:56
something
1:05:56
that
1:05:56
you're
1:05:56
proud
1:05:57
no
1:05:57
matter
1:05:58
what
1:05:59
thanks
1:05:59
and
1:06:00
all
1:06:00
right
1:06:00
yes
1:06:01
really
1:06:02
own
1:06:02
that
1:06:02
book
1:06:03
that
1:06:03
you're
1:06:04
like
1:06:04
oh
1:06:04
you
1:06:04
don't
1:06:05
want
1:06:05
unsettle
1:06:06
take
1:06:07
your
1:06:07
but
1:06:08
the
1:06:08
way
1:06:08
you
1:06:08
really
1:06:08
want
1:06:09
and
1:06:10
then
1:06:10
don't
1:06:10
let
1:06:10
other
1:06:11
people
1:06:11
limit
1:06:12
you
1:06:12
starting
1:06:13
out
1:06:13
and
1:06:13
I
1:06:13
had
1:06:13
the
1:06:13
little
1:06:14
I
1:06:15
to
1:06:16
publish
1:06:16
it
1:06:17
scared
1:06:18
and
1:06:18
I
1:06:19
would
1:06:20
who
1:06:20
I
1:06:20
didn't
1:06:21
know
1:06:21
oh
1:06:22
what
1:06:22
do
1:06:22
you
1:06:23
I
1:06:24
should
1:06:24
do
1:06:25
and
1:06:25
don't
1:06:25
do
1:06:26
it
1:06:27
most
1:06:27
of
1:06:27
them
1:06:27
were
1:06:27
very
1:06:28
but
1:06:28
other
1:06:29
people
1:06:29
were
1:06:29
well
1:06:29
mean
1:06:30
you
1:06:31
don't
1:06:31
want
1:06:31
to
1:06:31
be
1:06:31
disappointed
1:06:31
kid.
1:06:32
And
1:06:33
you
1:06:33
know
1:06:33
what
1:06:33
Sherry
1:06:34
I
1:06:34
say
1:06:34
to
1:06:34
people
1:06:35
because
1:06:36
we
1:06:36
live
1:06:36
this
1:06:38
done
1:06:39
is
1:06:39
better
1:06:40
than
1:06:41
perfect
1:06:42
that's
1:06:43
right
1:06:43
and
1:06:43
you
1:06:43
know
1:06:44
what
1:06:44
the
1:06:44
beautiful
1:06:44
thing
1:06:45
about
1:06:45
being
1:06:46
if
1:06:46
you're
1:06:47
especially
1:06:47
if
1:06:47
you're
1:06:48
an
1:06:48
independent
1:06:49
or
1:06:49
self
1:06:49
published
1:06:50
book
1:06:50
authority
1:06:51
is
1:06:51
that
1:06:52
nothing
1:06:52
is
1:06:53
etched
1:06:53
in
1:06:53
stone
1:06:54
your
1:06:54
book
1:06:54
is
1:06:54
not
1:06:55
etched
1:06:55
in
1:06:55
stone.
1:06:56
You
1:06:56
can
1:06:56
go
1:06:57
in
1:06:57
and
1:06:57
get
1:06:57
your
1:06:58
get
1:06:58
the
1:06:58
the
1:06:59
files
1:06:59
modified
1:07:00
a
1:07:00
bit
1:07:01
to
1:07:01
reflect
1:07:01
what
1:07:02
you
1:07:02
would
1:07:03
like
1:07:03
to
1:07:03
do
1:07:03
and
1:07:04
I'll
1:07:04
give
1:07:04
you
1:07:04
a
1:07:05
small
1:07:05
example
1:07:05
of
1:07:06
what
1:07:06
we
1:07:06
did
1:07:07
is
1:07:07
when
1:07:08
we
1:07:08
first
1:07:08
launched
1:07:09
our
1:07:09
first
1:07:09
book
1:07:10
someone
1:07:10
said
1:07:11
do
1:07:11
you
1:07:11
have
1:07:11
a
1:07:11
book
1:07:12
plate
1:07:13
and
1:07:13
I
1:07:13
said
1:07:13
book
1:07:14
plate
1:07:14
what's
1:07:14
a
1:07:14
book
1:07:15
plate
1:07:15
and
1:07:16
they
1:07:16
said
1:07:16
most
1:07:17
children's
1:07:17
books
1:07:18
get
1:07:18
purchased
1:07:19
by
1:07:19
either
1:07:20
a
1:07:20
parent
1:07:21
or
1:07:21
grandparent
1:07:22
or
1:07:22
a
1:07:23
family
1:07:23
friend
1:07:24
and
1:07:24
they're
1:07:24
given
1:07:25
to
1:07:25
the
1:07:25
child
1:07:25
and
1:07:26
they
1:07:26
always
1:07:26
like
1:07:26
to
1:07:27
write
1:07:27
a
1:07:27
little
1:07:27
message
1:07:28
to
1:07:28
the
1:07:28
child
1:07:29
in
1:07:29
the
1:07:29
book.
1:07:30
And
1:07:30
that's
1:07:30
what
1:07:30
you
1:07:31
use
1:07:31
a
1:07:31
book
1:07:31
plate
1:07:32
for.
1:07:32
And
1:07:32
I
1:07:32
thought
1:07:32
oh
1:07:33
what's.
1:07:33
What
1:07:33
does
1:07:33
it
1:07:34
look
1:07:34
like?
1:07:34
They
1:07:34
said
1:07:34
whatever
1:07:35
you
1:07:35
want
1:07:35
it
1:07:35
to
1:07:36
look
1:07:36
like.
1:07:36
So
1:07:36
we
1:07:37
actually
1:07:37
when
1:07:38
we
1:07:38
first
1:07:39
wrote
1:07:39
our
1:07:39
first
1:07:39
book
1:07:40
if
1:07:40
you
1:07:40
look
1:07:40
and
1:07:41
I
1:07:41
know
1:07:41
our
1:07:41
audience
1:07:42
can't
1:07:42
see
1:07:42
it
1:07:43
but
1:07:43
when
1:07:43
we
1:07:43
wrote
1:07:44
our
1:07:44
first
1:07:44
book
1:07:45
we
1:07:45
didn't
1:07:45
have
1:07:46
this
1:07:46
little
1:07:47
heart
1:07:48
with
1:07:48
a
1:07:48
little
1:07:48
message
1:07:50
so
1:07:50
that
1:07:50
you
1:07:51
and
1:07:51
this
1:07:51
is
1:07:51
what
1:07:51
I
1:07:52
call
1:07:52
the
1:07:52
book
1:07:52
plate
1:07:52
is
1:07:53
where
1:07:53
someone
1:07:53
can
1:07:54
actually
1:07:55
write
1:07:55
into
1:07:55
the
1:07:56
heart
1:07:57
a
1:07:57
message
1:07:58
to
1:07:58
the
1:07:58
child.
1:07:59
And
1:07:59
so
1:08:00
we
1:08:01
did
1:08:01
that
1:08:02
probably
1:08:04
four
1:08:05
to
1:08:05
six
1:08:05
months
1:08:05
after
1:08:06
we
1:08:06
published
1:08:07
our
1:08:07
first
1:08:07
book.
1:08:08
But
1:08:08
we
1:08:08
were
1:08:08
able
1:08:08
to
1:08:09
easily
1:08:09
go
1:08:09
in
1:08:09
and
1:08:10
modify
1:08:11
and
1:08:11
then
1:08:11
just
1:08:12
up
1:08:12
uploaded
1:08:13
again
1:08:13
our
1:08:13
files
1:08:14
and
1:08:15
it
1:08:15
wasn't
1:08:15
that
1:08:16
expensive
1:08:16
to
1:08:16
do.
1:08:17
And
1:08:17
that's
1:08:17
why
1:08:18
I
1:08:18
say
1:08:18
to
1:08:18
everybody
1:08:19
you
1:08:20
can't
1:08:20
be
1:08:20
all
1:08:20
thing
1:08:21
to
1:08:21
all
1:08:21
people.
1:08:22
To
1:08:22
your
1:08:22
point
1:08:23
like
1:08:23
you
1:08:23
were
1:08:23
saying
1:08:24
earlier
1:08:24
Sherry
1:08:25
is
1:08:25
start
1:08:26
with
1:08:26
the
1:08:26
paper
1:08:27
back
1:08:27
if
1:08:28
that's
1:08:28
the
1:08:29
format
1:08:29
that
1:08:29
you
1:08:29
can
1:08:30
afford
1:08:30
to
1:08:30
do.
1:08:31
Especially
1:08:31
with
1:08:31
Amazon.
1:08:32
Because
1:08:32
the
1:08:32
beautiful
1:08:33
thing
1:08:33
about
1:08:33
Amazon
1:08:34
is
1:08:34
they'll
1:08:35
just
1:08:35
print
1:08:35
you
1:08:35
one
1:08:36
book
1:08:36
whatever
1:08:36
you
1:08:37
want.
1:08:38
And
1:08:38
so
1:08:38
you
1:08:38
don't
1:08:39
have
1:08:39
to
1:08:39
go
1:08:39
out
1:08:40
on
1:08:40
demand.
1:08:40
Yeah
1:08:42
on
1:08:42
demand.
1:08:43
You
1:08:43
don't
1:08:43
have
1:08:43
to
1:08:44
go
1:08:44
out
1:08:44
and
1:08:44
print
1:08:45
thousands
1:08:45
of
1:08:46
books
1:08:46
to
1:08:47
get
1:08:47
started.
1:08:48
And
1:08:49
the
1:08:49
other
1:08:49
thing
1:08:49
I
1:08:49
would
1:08:50
very
1:08:51
transformative
1:08:51
for
1:08:51
my
1:08:52
bill
1:08:53
is
1:08:53
go
1:08:54
people
1:08:55
or
1:08:55
introverts.
1:08:57
And
1:08:57
it's
1:08:57
really
1:08:57
hard
1:08:58
to
1:08:59
and
1:08:59
talk
1:08:59
about
1:08:59
your
1:08:59
book.
1:09:00
It
1:09:01
takes
1:09:01
time
1:09:01
to
1:09:02
but
1:09:02
the
1:09:02
only
1:09:03
way
1:09:03
you're
1:09:03
going
1:09:03
to
1:09:03
get
1:09:03
comfortable
1:09:04
by
1:09:04
doing
1:09:05
it
1:09:06
we
1:09:06
do
1:09:07
festivals
1:09:08
and
1:09:08
events
1:09:09
and
1:09:11
these
1:09:11
things
1:09:12
talk
1:09:12
to
1:09:13
customer
1:09:14
which
1:09:15
is
1:09:15
so
1:09:17
because
1:09:17
you
1:09:17
learn
1:09:18
like
1:09:19
you
1:09:19
you
1:09:19
end
1:09:20
up
1:09:20
a
1:09:21
short
1:09:21
word
1:09:22
works
1:09:23
for
1:09:23
that
1:09:23
particular
1:09:24
to
1:09:24
spend
1:09:25
a
1:09:25
half
1:09:25
hour
1:09:25
explaining.
1:09:27
You
1:09:27
get
1:09:27
what
1:09:28
you
1:09:29
also
1:09:29
meet
1:09:29
people
1:09:30
just
1:09:30
starting
1:09:31
out
1:09:31
on
1:09:31
the
1:09:31
journey
1:09:32
earlier
1:09:33
where
1:09:34
don't
1:09:34
know
1:09:34
what
1:09:34
the
1:09:34
path
1:09:35
is.
1:09:36
So
1:09:36
they're
1:09:36
inspired
1:09:37
by
1:09:37
you
1:09:38
like
1:09:38
you're
1:09:38
that
1:09:38
far
1:09:39
ahead
1:09:39
right
1:09:40
until
1:09:40
you
1:09:40
talk
1:09:41
to
1:09:41
somebody
1:09:41
and
1:09:41
you
1:09:42
say
1:09:42
I
1:09:43
guess
1:09:43
I'm
1:09:43
not
1:09:43
okay
1:09:44
with
1:09:44
something
1:09:45
after
1:09:45
all.
1:09:45
You're
1:09:46
just
1:09:46
you're.
1:09:47
And
1:09:47
they
1:09:47
are
1:09:47
too
1:09:48
you're
1:09:48
just
1:09:49
absolutely.
1:09:51
And
1:09:51
that's
1:09:52
also
1:09:52
where
1:09:53
my
1:09:53
invitations
1:09:54
to
1:09:54
speak
1:09:54
it
1:09:55
from
1:09:55
my
1:09:55
collaboratives
1:09:57
to
1:09:57
do
1:09:57
other
1:09:57
events
1:09:58
from
1:09:59
being
1:09:59
at
1:09:59
something
1:10:00
media
1:10:01
doing
1:10:01
that
1:10:02
with
1:10:03
their
1:10:03
video
1:10:03
cameras
1:10:03
and
1:10:04
so
1:10:05
many
1:10:05
video
1:10:05
cameras
1:10:07
and
1:10:07
they'll
1:10:07
say
1:10:07
hey
1:10:08
can
1:10:08
I
1:10:08
or
1:10:09
my
1:10:09
YouTube
1:10:09
channel.
1:10:09
I'm
1:10:10
like
1:10:10
yeah
1:10:11
do
1:10:11
it
1:10:11
Just
1:10:11
say
1:10:12
yeah.
1:10:13
And
1:10:13
that's
1:10:13
the
1:10:14
whole
1:10:14
thing
1:10:14
about
1:10:14
like
1:10:15
doing
1:10:15
podcasts
1:10:16
or
1:10:17
any
1:10:17
of
1:10:17
that
1:10:18
stuff
1:10:18
for
1:10:18
sure
1:10:18
I
1:10:19
couldn't
1:10:19
agree
1:10:19
with
1:10:19
you
1:10:19
more
1:10:20
so
1:10:21
I
1:10:21
want
1:10:21
to
1:10:21
talk
1:10:21
to
1:10:21
you
1:10:22
about
1:10:22
encouragement
1:10:23
for
1:10:23
readers
1:10:24
now
1:10:25
you
1:10:25
can
1:10:25
please
1:10:26
answer
1:10:26
this
1:10:26
question
1:10:27
from
1:10:28
beyond
1:10:28
the
1:10:29
words
1:10:29
and
1:10:30
the
1:10:30
special
1:10:31
why
1:10:32
people
1:10:32
should
1:10:33
purchase
1:10:33
this
1:10:33
book
1:10:34
and
1:10:34
then
1:10:34
talk
1:10:35
to
1:10:35
us
1:10:35
about
1:10:35
your
1:10:36
books
1:10:36
in
1:10:36
general
1:10:36
and
1:10:37
why
1:10:37
they
1:10:37
should
1:10:38
purchase
1:10:38
your
1:10:39
books.
1:10:40
Words
1:10:41
specifically
1:10:42
it's
1:10:43
such
1:10:43
a
1:10:43
special
1:10:44
because
1:10:45
it's
1:10:45
not
1:10:45
only
1:10:46
to
1:10:47
the
1:10:47
person
1:10:47
that's
1:10:48
going
1:10:48
challenging
1:10:49
but
1:10:49
it
1:10:51
the
1:10:51
family
1:10:51
and
1:10:51
friend
1:10:53
person
1:10:53
no
1:10:54
support
1:10:55
I
1:10:56
think
1:10:56
single
1:10:57
person
1:10:57
wants
1:10:58
someone
1:10:58
who's
1:10:58
going
1:10:59
through
1:10:59
something
1:11:00
feel
1:11:00
loved
1:11:02
don't
1:11:02
know
1:11:02
what
1:11:02
to
1:11:02
say
1:11:04
distance
1:11:04
our
1:11:05
intentionally
1:11:07
same
1:11:07
way
1:11:08
so
1:11:08
this
1:11:09
is
1:11:09
so
1:11:10
special
1:11:10
because
1:11:11
it
1:11:11
gives
1:11:12
them
1:11:12
a
1:11:12
chance
1:11:13
oh
1:11:14
I
1:11:14
could
1:11:14
give
1:11:14
her
1:11:15
I
1:11:15
could
1:11:16
suspense
1:11:17
them
1:11:18
like
1:11:19
kinds
1:11:19
of
1:11:19
things
1:11:19
those
1:11:20
coping
1:11:21
and
1:11:21
the
1:11:21
ability
1:11:23
for
1:11:23
other
1:11:23
people
1:11:24
will
1:11:24
last
1:11:25
forever
1:11:26
that
1:11:27
is
1:11:27
what's
1:11:27
so
1:11:27
special
1:11:28
regarding
1:11:29
my
1:11:29
other
1:11:30
similar
1:11:30
theme
1:11:31
every
1:11:32
has
1:11:32
the
1:11:33
desire
1:11:33
to
1:11:34
they're
1:11:34
all
1:11:34
social
1:11:35
emotional
1:11:36
so
1:11:36
as
1:11:37
you're
1:11:37
reading
1:11:37
this
1:11:38
as
1:11:38
of
1:11:38
the
1:11:38
character
1:11:40
and
1:11:40
something
1:11:40
special
1:11:41
about
1:11:41
your
1:11:42
at
1:11:42
the
1:11:42
same
1:11:42
time
1:11:44
this
1:11:44
child
1:11:45
is
1:11:45
having
1:11:45
fun
1:11:46
end
1:11:46
of
1:11:47
the
1:11:47
day
1:11:47
there's
1:11:48
a
1:11:48
or
1:11:49
nurtured
1:11:49
for
1:11:49
their
1:11:50
grow
1:11:51
even
1:11:51
bigger
1:11:51
and
1:11:51
better
1:11:52
that
1:11:53
why
1:11:54
I
1:11:54
do
1:11:54
what
1:11:54
I
1:11:54
do
1:11:56
and
1:11:56
that
1:11:56
is
1:11:57
beyond
1:11:58
words
1:11:58
like
1:11:59
a
1:12:00
thousand
1:12:00
and
1:12:01
people
1:12:01
will
1:12:02
check
1:12:02
it
1:12:02
out
1:12:02
it's
1:12:02
a
1:12:02
very
1:12:03
special
1:12:04
project
1:12:05
that
1:12:07
no
1:12:07
no.
1:12:08
Question
1:12:08
I
1:12:08
just
1:12:09
love
1:12:09
it
1:12:10
Final
1:12:11
thoughts
1:12:11
Sherry
1:12:12
is
1:12:12
there
1:12:13
anything
1:12:13
you'd
1:12:14
like
1:12:14
to
1:12:14
share
1:12:15
before
1:12:15
we
1:12:15
conclude
1:12:16
that
1:12:17
maybe
1:12:17
I
1:12:17
didn't
1:12:17
ask
1:12:18
you
1:12:18
or
1:12:18
you
1:12:19
might
1:12:19
be
1:12:19
thinking
1:12:19
oh
1:12:20
what
1:12:20
if
1:12:21
is
1:12:22
there
1:12:22
any
1:12:22
final
1:12:22
thoughts
1:12:23
you
1:12:23
have
1:12:24
that
1:12:24
you'd
1:12:24
like.
1:12:24
To
1:12:25
share
1:12:26
don't
1:12:26
give
1:12:26
up
1:12:28
how
1:12:28
hard
1:12:28
it
1:12:28
can
1:12:29
be
1:12:30
like
1:12:30
when
1:12:30
you
1:12:30
have
1:12:31
a
1:12:31
vision
1:12:31
for
1:12:31
your
1:12:31
life
1:12:32
and
1:12:32
it
1:12:33
all
1:12:33
the
1:12:33
time
1:12:34
and
1:12:34
it
1:12:34
doesn't
1:12:35
because
1:12:36
see
1:12:37
examples
1:12:37
of
1:12:37
people
1:12:38
who
1:12:39
because
1:12:39
the
1:12:39
people
1:12:39
who
1:12:39
weren't
1:12:40
they
1:12:41
I
1:12:41
would
1:12:41
post
1:12:41
about
1:12:42
that
1:12:43
so
1:12:43
don't
1:12:44
compare
1:12:45
to
1:12:45
somebody
1:12:45
who's
1:12:46
further
1:12:47
you
1:12:47
can
1:12:47
be
1:12:47
inspired
1:12:48
by
1:12:49
feel
1:12:49
like
1:12:49
you're
1:12:49
less
1:12:49
than

1:13:06
for
1:13:06
