• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So this episode is going to air on August 21st, which means that the book will have been out two days.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Fun and exciting part of this is we have probably sold more copies of inner world outer world in one day, one and a half days, than we did of the imposter in charge over the course of six years.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And that is the power of the work that we've done and that's the power of our community, because our community helped.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of friends, a lot of followers, a lot of support, a lot of people that are pulling for us, and what a difference a couple of years make, holy cow.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was your favorite part of yesterday?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You're not allowed to say my birthday.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: That's a great part, right, I wasn't going to say that it was a gift that I was born, but what was your favorite part of yesterday?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I love the planning part of those events.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I love the organizing and the structuring and the preparing for it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: So I have a couple of favorite parts I really enjoyed.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So we have our operations assistant, cara Dossi, who's like my little sister, she's my little sidekick, and just watching her put the flowers together was just absolutely adorable.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I had so much fun.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: She was sitting there just very carefully cutting the stems and laying them out all pretty and I was panicking because I'm like, okay, we got like 50,000 other things to get done, but those flowers were beautiful, and watching her be in her zone that was cool.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And then and the charcuterie board.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So let's expand that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Kara is like the queen of decorating.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's, yes, like all the flowers every holiday she over decorates.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: But we're over decorating, I mean over she.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: She goes all out and the charcuterie board.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: She builds the whole thing so and she makes it more beautiful than than you're gonna.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: You can buy in a freaking from a yeah, she doesn't just slap the meat on the board, she's got her meat flowers.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: We have, we have, we have a specific she and because we've been doing these charcuterie boards together for retreats and events, for um, I guess, oh yeah, six or so since, since gatlinburg, since our gatlinburg retreat and um, so we have a specified meat glass where she uses to make her meat flowers.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So every board has its meat flowers on it and she's got it laid out so beautiful and yeah, so we, we did.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of like store purchase things, but a lot of the stuff Kara put together, it was really it was really cool.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's fun working with her.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I don't I like working with people, for with those things I don't like to.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I say a lot.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: You hear me, I'm not a lonely cat.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I like to work with people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So that was one of my favorite things and while we're on the subject, because there's been 200, now 212 episodes of the Interwealth podcast We've never really really discussed.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Let's shout out a little more to Kara Dossey Kara is our operations assistant.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Let's shout out a little more to Kara Dossey Kara is our operations assistant.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: She is the back end of our processes and our admin and she's almost like our client experience.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So when somebody comes into the Interwealth Mastermind, kara welcomes them and onboards them and when someone is leaving or departing, she makes sure that they have a really smooth transition and out of the group or out of the whatever.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: When we have workshops, she makes sure that we have all the materials and all the contents and she really does a great job.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Karadasi and and everybody feels her energy and vitality and her vibrancy because she was before, before she was a an operations assistant, she was a participant, she, she was a.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: She was first of all a private client, but second of all, she joined a mastermind and she started really really doing the work.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: She started really doing the shadow work and met it really into the soul science as part of our, of our mastermind, and she, she'll tell you she geeks out on and she's got printouts and folders of everyone in the group charts, because every week we have our soul sciences call on Wednesday morning and she'll, if somebody has a question, she's got her little charts, she opens up their file and she calls her.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: She calls herself an old lady because she likes to print everything out, but I understand that because I like to see things too.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But no, she and she, I couldn't do these events without her because she's allowed me to see it a different way.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not, I'm really great at the front end, organizing and executing and and being you know, being in the room.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: But she's great with the aesthetics and the planning.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have thought to make things on our own and to to.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I mean you had little display trays and and pretty veggie trays and pretty fruit platters and I would have just gone to the damn store and bought six big pre-made things and just sent them out.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: But she has that eye for that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: But I love the front end and she really has the back end of that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: We work perfectly together and I've never had that experience.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So I'm really, really grateful for her and again, if she ever left, I couldn't do it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I would never be able to find anyone to replace her.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But let's make sure she doesn't leave.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: She's not going to leave we always.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I'll kidnap her and I'll tie her up in the same closet.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We always make sure she understands how valued and cherished she is.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And, cara, I know you're listening to this and because when we do some social media posts and we promo the podcast, it's Cara that picks the clip, yeah, and we promo the podcast, it's Kara that picks the clip, yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So I know you're listening.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: So you better pick a good one that talks really really good about you, griselda.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's talk about the day.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, so describe the celebration, describe the day, describe what you were feeling, because you felt it just like I did.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, the day was pretty magical, right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It was like this is my second book launch day and the first one, impostor in Charge, back in 2019, I believe I just woke up.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I was scared, like I woke up with anxiety because it's like, oh my God, what the fuck did I just do?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Because I had stories in there and I was vulnerable and all.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And I woke up and I was in a panic and I don't think I really enjoyed that day.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: We had a great book launch party Now this one was better, but I don't.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I don't really think I enjoyed this day.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yesterday.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed, I savored every second of it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Talk about what the day was like for you and kind of how the celebration happened.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Well, I was, I was very excited, but I was also eager to just to get everything fully, not to get the day over with, but you know, leading up to these events, whether it be this, this one or a retreat I get like I start having crazy dreams about the event.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Everything that can go wrong does go wrong.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And, in fact, we were leaving yesterday and when you said something about the sales, I was like, oh my gosh, that was one of my nightmare dreams was that people were like all of our sales just disappeared.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: No, it was.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It definitely was different, and I think I was.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I was in.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I am in such a different space now than I was when the imposter came out, because that was 2019.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I believe it was 2019.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: And I think I think I had one more.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I was in and out of sobriety Right I.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I think I had one more.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I was in and out of sobriety Right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I was in and out of recovery.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I had one more relapse after that, I believe.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was at the book signing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: You went to a book signing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: You actually had a book signing at a Barnes, noble or something like that, yeah, at a local bookstore.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And when we got there and we were unpacking, I opened the bag and I found a bottle of pills and I showed her the bottle of pills and we just packed everything up.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: We were unpacking to put our display up and we just packed back up and we left and we didn't say a whole lot on the way home.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That was.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: That was the last three matters.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That was, and I keep going, I keep going back.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, was there something after that?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And there wasn't.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that there was either.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, there wasn't, because that was December.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: It was the end of 2019.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Because we launched in October, november, somewhere, so it was the end of 2019.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Because I always think of 2017, 18 as my.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: So, anyway, I was still in and out of relapses and addiction and stuff, so I hadn't really that was.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: My focus at the time was even though I didn't realize it was trying to figure out how to fucking stay clean and um, so this one was different.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: This one was a lot different and you know, years later and I've been doing the work and and I'm much more like our bond has grown absolutely exponentially since then and like, and people can see, that they can feel it, they can feel it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: They can feel it, they can feel the.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So, people, you know, yesterday it was so crazy because people kept coming up to me and congratulating me.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: You're part of it and it's because, like we, we present as a unified front now I want them to celebrate you, just like they're celebrating you.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I was like thank you, yes, I've taken this Congratulations because, 100%, I had a lot to do with this.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Did I write it?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: No, but our business the past year has lacked significant energy.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: As you've been focused on writing the book, our finances have struggled a little bit we so.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So we had explosive growth in 23, 24 or 23, early 24, and the business is settled back down right to where we were pre-explosive growth and no excuses.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But every education business that I know right now, and every educational type business, and that's what we are.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: We're like an education business.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Everyone is a little soft right now.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: You every educational type business, and that's what we are.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: We're like an education business.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Everyone is a little soft right now, you know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: But again, I think it also it's.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I think that, not even just that, I think that the energy that you were, you, you were putting everything into the book, not that you were working on a 24 seven, but that's where your energy was going.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I can see that, and there were a lot of shifts and pivots in our business and the messaging and how we were, you know what we were about and what we were after and a lot of things changed.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of, there's a lot of evolution.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it just, it just and a lot of alignment.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Like I just, I watched over this year as things have been slow and non-energetic.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: There's just been a level of alignment and as we've aligned with the message and who we are, because when we did experience explosive growth, it was more processes, we had more of the business stuff in there and that's not who we are.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're a woo-woo freaking group with a business to haul and I love that about us and we're about intimacy and connection.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And one of the one of the um, the mastermind current mastermind students rob, he said when we had our retreat in miami, he said it felt like a machine, not a family.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And when we went to, uh, the out of banks, he said this feels like a family, like that, and that's, that's what we're back to and that's what we want now.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: We got to figure out well, we get to figure out how to grow and keep the intimacy, because we definitely want to grow, yeah, and we want that level of financial freedom again and the finances, but we don't want to lose the intimacy.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: But more than that it's.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm excited for your next book, because that's what you really truly want to do is just keep writing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I love writing.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I love writing.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: There's no joy more than business-wise, than seeing someone purchase or connect with something that you created yeah Right, and the sales happen from something that's already done.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: It's not passive income by any means, but it's like you put your work into this thing and then someone connects with it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That's very satisfying, very rewarding.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: The chase for students kind of gets old, yeah Right.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And the invitation for students of gets old, right, and the invitation for students Wilson warned us about that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: The point being is to create products that create an attraction into the mastermind, into our community.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: That's what it's all about for me and, I guarantee you, some of those people right now.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: We sold a bunch of books yesterday.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: People are buying multiple copies.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had people buying six, seven, eight copies To give to people and it was like holy crap, I don't think I saw one.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can count on one hand the number of people I saw walk out with only one copy.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: But we're grateful that they walked out with one copy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But the fact that the majority were buying about that was just wild so the way that they shit that, the way that they shaped up, is we had six sponsors.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: That was freaking cool.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: We had six companies sponsor us.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah and uh.

• 17:01
  Speaker 2: It was really short.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Really cool to talk about the impact of the work that they've done with you and that was super cool to hear.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And I told stories about how we met.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: And then you stole everyone's story.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Because I guess I'm ruthless like that there and I'm like I had stuff.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I tell that story and then I'm like I got nothing left to say yeah, but I told I talked about how I met, you know, how I met jen and how I met luke and how I met josh and how I met brian and how I met aunt.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if we talked about I have no less psychology yeah, but we talked about that on here.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: We there's definitely, we've definitely talked about that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: But I was the emcee.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So after I presented the sponsor, then I took the mic and, you know, from a place of humility I don't need an emcee to you know, to guide the ship I just I told a story about and these guys are, these people are my friends, they're my allies, and told stories and just they.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: They told about, talked about the work that that we've done together and the power of this work and the belief that they have in inner world, outer world, and then then everybody sang happy birthday to me.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I am an awesome, awesome giver and up to this point in my life I've really struggled to receive and it's like wanting, receiving, asking.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's been a challenge for me and I'm learning how to do it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So, inviting everybody to the book celebration, that was an act of receiving for me.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I got to put myself in the energy of receiving and then, when people were singing happy birthday, I literally became hyper present and I just allowed my, my heart to fill with joy.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and just just stood there and it was we had.
• 18:40

• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, around 75, maybe a little more but about 50, I think, were there the whole time yeah, and it was really cool.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: And again, a lot of food, a lot of drink.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Book signings uh, you know we had, we had for in when I released the Impostor in Charge.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Signing books was weird.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: That was like a, you know, it just felt weird.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It's like read a fucking book.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: You don't need me to sign it and this one.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed signing books.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I spent time with people.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I connected with them.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I wrote each one separately to the person.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I individualized everyone because I knew everybody there, so I personalized it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't just sign my name, I didn't just give a.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: There are some books that somebody bought, five or six, and there was one for them and four for they were going to get out and I just wrote like I think I keep shining Mike Jekyll, you know, and but when I knew.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you did sign all those too.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: That's so.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: So, because it took about two, karen and I looked back um at the the sales history from yesterday because just and she was curious to see how long it took and it was about two hours that's.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: It was a long time about two hours, yeah, and that most of it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: There was a line when we finished and there was a line and that was, you know, that was really cool.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I saw we went to a meetup a real estate not a real estate meetup, but just a meetup a couple of years ago and it was called.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It was called Mastermind St Louis.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: This guy, brian McRae, used to put Mastermind St Louis on and he had an author, his name was Sean Stevenson and he wrote a book called Sleeps in Her and Sean Stevenson, you know, presented and after he presented, you know, he had a book, book, book sales and book signing and the line was out the frigging door and I remember thinking, wow, that would be super cool.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And yesterday, when I was finished speaking, you know, I sat down to sign books.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: There was a line and I was like this is a freaking cool and it took me right back to there, like I always wanted that, and it was really, really fun, freaking cool.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And it's a me right back to there, like I always wanted that, and it was really, really fun and really exciting.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: But I just I spent time with each book, I poured some love into the book and when somebody said, hey, this is for my friend, whenever they're not here.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I really just went into my heart and said what does so-and-so need?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: What do they need to read Like what?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And I would get, I would get a message and I would write that message and I even I even wrote those different for every place I did.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I did what does this person need?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: What do they need for me right now?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And it just it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It rose in me and I got to serve them in a in a cool way.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: So I really put a lot of love into those signings.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the process and I'm excited for the next one.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Can't wait to sign some more books.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: So what was your favorite part of the day?
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You just asked me that, I just now that, now that we went over it, what was your favorite part?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Besides working with Kara.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I think that seeing that line standing there waiting for you was super, super cool.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I felt very proud.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And I did ask you the same question again and I'm not sorry for it, but we were just on our Interwealth Mastermind business call and one of the guys brought up the actual leader.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Michael Schieffer brought this up.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: He said Mike, I took a step back during book signing and during the book celebration.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: He said and I realized that we go to networking groups and they're there for different reasons.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: They're there to network or get deals or whatever.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He said.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I looked at that room and every single person was there for you and he said that was cool.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Every single person showed up to support you, not for ulterior motives, but they showed up to support you, from the sponsors to our contribution team, to Kara and to all the people that that just wanted to come and just be part of it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: They were there to support us and that is yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: In the past and I'm working through it that's been hard to receive, but I received it and I'm working to receive it Now.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Here's where we are right now, and I'm going to close with this.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Talked about receiving and how hard it's been right now.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And I had the day before our book celebration, the day before our book launch, I was on my run and I came up with the working title for my next book.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: You want to hear it?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Do you know it?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love to hear it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I do know it, but I would like you to tell it, I can't remember it but the working title for my next book is Built to Give, rebuilt to Receive, and it's going to be all about how many givers there are in the world but how hard it is for those givers to receive.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: And there are some people that give endlessly and effortlessly and they love to give and effortlessly and they love to give, but they feel bad, they feel off, they feel selfish, they feel, they feel they don't feel good asking or wanting or receiving, and that's all central nervous system stuff.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And I've been working through the central nervous system stuff and over the last few months I've made a lot of strides and that's what's allowed me to open up my heart yesterday and just to receive all the goodness.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It's been a.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: It's been a work in practice or a work in process.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Do you have a?
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Do you have a projected timeline?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I would like for the, the next book built to give, rebuilt to receive, to be out next summer.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe before summer really kicks into gear.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: So somebody could take it with them on vacation.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: So you're going to make me plan another hottest day of the damn year party.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be out in June-ish, but look, I wake up every day with different ideas and different inspiration.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is my current level of inspiration is on built, built to give, rebuilt to receive.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: So we'll see where it goes from here, but right now that feels really, really good for me, and I'm an author at heart.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I love you are and it is very cool to watch the process.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: And this one was even cooler because when you wrote the imposter in charge, I remember you and, oh my gosh, we spent tens of thousands around we we spent probably 35 37 000 to write that book, including publicity and and marketing and book coach and publishing and editing, and this one we did all ourselves.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: And we sold a whopping 350 copies of the E-Impostor in Charge with a $35,000 spend, and we recovered almost none of our costs and this one we've already paid off.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: We've already got our money back.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: But anyway, what I was going to say is I remember you had that binder and you sit there and everything was written out and you had your book map and all that stuff, because you were working with a coach, that's right.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And this one.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I'd walk outside and I didn't know if this man was talking to himself, he was on a phone call or what, but he spoke it into his phone and that was simple.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I was like that's smart.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I spoke the chapters and I let innovation help me.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: It was my content, but the organization and some of the editing I let innovation, yeah, and I just want to throw that out there, because I think people think too that writing is so much more difficult than it is.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: And watching you do that I was like, oh, because I literally think you're going to write a book.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I'm already damn thinking right.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why I started seven or eight books and never finished them, because I would start writing and type it and start typing and I'd get one third or halfway there and I'm like, fuck this, I'm done, I don't want to do this anymore.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sit behind a keyboard and I even put that in the in the introduction in, in, in a world, out of world.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: How I hate the writing process of of sitting behind a keyboard, but I love the, the, the writing process of, of sharing, voice recording and then organizing and then accomplishing and the this one.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: it speaks more in your voice because you spoke it out the way I speak.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you said that last night too.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And I said it in a wrong way.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, you said it, we've said it several times in several places.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Because it just it makes a difference, because even and I read my forward and my forward speaks like me too I didn't do that, I had, you know, I had.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I was able to write that, but it was short, it wasn't very it was.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: It was not a long book, but anyway it was just cool watching sometimes Dr Pace and on the back porch talking into your phone, or you were sitting there talking to your phone with the dogs next to you.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: It was just really cool.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I just just wanted to share that little bit of inspiration.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: The most, the most difficult part of the writing process it, for me, is getting an idea of what the chapters, what structures, look like and and the order and my east coast just came out, you heard that order um, getting, getting, uh, an idea of what the structure is going to look like and what the unique chapters are.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Once I get that, it's just a matter.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: It's go time.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Once I get that structure and right now I'm just trying to I'm developing that structure in my mind and I think I've got a good plan.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: But we need to give a shout out to Josh McLaughlin, because you had that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Structure was completely different until you sent him that book.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: And Josh McLaughlin, he runs our book study call every Thursday in our mastermind.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: He's been a student of ours for many years and just one of the sweetest guys.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: He has this really weird fixation about his hatred of baked potatoes and that's really weird, but it's a soul's out there.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: He said there's too much water between baked potatoes.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense and that's really weird, but it's a soul's idea.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He said there's too much water between you.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Take to take it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Y'all's you, josh, but that's just weird.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I love you, but we're going to try, we're going to drill on that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Anyway, mike sent it over to him one day.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: He sent it back completely with like this whole list of move this here, move this here move this movie this year.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And hey, we were, so we haven't been triggered like that a long time.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: My gosh, because I was energetically done with that book.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: You were done with that and you were on your way to sedona and brian schroeder was making you see and see, you were, you were being double man.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I was getting counted but he sent that list with all these bullet coins and and things for improvement and man I was.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I got so triggered because I was energetically done in my mind I was finished and then.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: But the next day after I cooled down, I looked at the list and I'm like he's right.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: And then he restructured it and it was a completely and I restructured it and it's a better book.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: But then I also added actions to each chapter, so that didn't exist when I sent it to Josh.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: But I want to so shout out to Josh for making this book better.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, but also we had Lee Schultes that way premature.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: We sent it to Lee and Lee wanted to edit it and get a feel for it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: We sent it to her and she edited it and then it got rearranged and it got, you know, all kind of changed.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: So sorry, lee, when you read it it's like nothing which is so, so so many people had had contributions in this thing, into this journey, and we just we wanted to do this uh episode and just shout all of you out yeah, thank you guys.
