  we

  over

  15

  a

  didn't

  we

  had

  Today,

  we

  want

  to

  share
• 0:38
  a
• 0:39
  lesson
• 0:39
  we
• 0:39
  learned
• 0:40
  from

  the
• 0:40
  importance
• 0:41
  of
• 0:41
  sharing
• 0:41
  your
• 0:42
  children's
• 0:42
  book
• 0:42
  early

  a
• 0:49
  children's

  book,
• 0:49
  we
• 0:50
  we
• 0:50
  didn't
• 0:50
  think
• 0:50
  sharing
• 0:51
  our
• 0:51
  idea
• 0:52
  would
• 0:52
  mean
• 0:52
  someone
• 0:53
  would
• 0:53
  steal
• 0:53
  it.
• 0:54
  That
• 0:54
  didn't
• 0:55
  cross
• 0:55
  our
• 0:55
  minds
• 0:56
  at

  all.
• 0:57
  There

  are

  We

  Story,

  we
• 9:32
  will
• 9:32
  discuss
• 9:32
  with
• 9:33
  Bailey
• 9:34
  how
• 9:34
  this
• 9:34
  story
• 9:35
  came
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  be.
• 9:35
  Bailey
• 9:36
  added
• 9:37
  her
• 9:37
  exceptional
• 9:38
  touch
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  the
• 9:39
  creation
• 9:39
  of
• 9:39
  this
• 9:39
  story.
• 9:40
  The
• 9:40
  story
• 9:41
  takes
• 9:41
  place
• 9:41
  in
• 9:41
  the
• 9:42
  Rocky
• 9:42
  Mountains,
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  home
• 9:43
  of
• 9:43
  Caboose,
• 9:44
  the
• 9:45
  Rocky
• 9:45
  Mountain
• 9:45
  bear,
• 9:46
  and
• 9:46
  Bailey
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  Beaver.
• 9:48
  So,
• 9:48
  Bailey,
• 9:49
  did
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  have
• 9:50
  fun
• 9:50
  recording
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  story
• 9:52
  of
• 9:52
  hijinks
• 9:53
  from
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  Big
• 9:53
  Head
• 9:53
  Folk
• 9:54
  Music
• 9:54
  Festival?
• 9:55
  Yeah,
• 9:56
  I
• 9:56
  actually
• 9:56
  had
• 9:56
  a
• 9:57
  lot
• 9:57
  of
• 9:57
  fun.
• 9:57
  There
• 9:58
  were
• 9:58
  some
• 9:58
  mistakes
• 9:58
  in
• 9:59
  there,
• 9:59
  but
• 10:00
  it
• 10:00
  was
• 10:00
  really
• 10:00
  fun.
• 10:01
  And
• 10:02
  what
• 10:02
  Bailey's
• 10:02
  referring
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  is
• 10:04
  that
• 10:04
  when
• 10:04
  you're
• 10:04
  recording
• 10:05
  something,
• 10:05
  the
• 10:06
  neat
• 10:06
  thing
• 10:06
  about
• 10:06
  it,
• 10:07
  you
• 10:07
  can
• 10:07
  edit
• 10:08
  it
• 10:08
  and
• 10:09
  you
• 10:09
  can
• 10:09
  say
• 10:10
  things
• 10:10
  over.
• 10:11
  But
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  know
• 10:12
  what?
• 10:12
  If
• 10:12
  you'd
• 10:12
  make
• 10:12
  it
• 10:13
  too
• 10:13
  perfect,
• 10:14
  then
• 10:14
  it's
• 10:14
  not
• 10:14
  really
• 10:15
  like
• 10:15
  real
• 10:15
  life.
• 10:16
  Real
• 10:16
  life.
• 10:17
  Every
• 10:18
  once
• 10:18
  in
• 10:18
  a
• 10:18
  while,
• 10:18
  we
• 10:18
  all
• 10:19
  make
• 10:19
  mistakes
• 10:19
  and
• 10:20
  fumble
• 10:20
  over
• 10:20
  words,
• 10:21
  but
• 10:21
  that's
• 10:22
  real
• 10:22
  life,
• 10:22
  right?
• 10:23
  Yep.
• 10:23
  And
• 10:24
  you
• 10:24
  know
• 10:24
  what,
• 10:24
  kids,
• 10:25
  parents
• 10:25
  and
• 10:25
  grandparents,
• 10:26
  the
• 10:26
  neat
• 10:27
  thing
• 10:27
  about
• 10:27
  recording
• 10:28
  our
• 10:28
  stories
• 10:28
  is
• 10:29
  that
• 10:30
  Bailey
• 10:30
  read
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  story.
• 10:32
  She
• 10:32
  made
• 10:33
  suggestions
• 10:33
  if
• 10:34
  some
• 10:34
  of
• 10:34
  the
• 10:34
  words
• 10:35
  were
• 10:35
  too
• 10:35
  difficult
• 10:35
  to
• 10:36
  understand
• 10:37
  or
• 10:37
  didn't
• 10:38
  fit
• 10:38
  appropriately
• 10:39
  into
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  story.
• 10:40
  And
• 10:40
  that
• 10:41
  was
• 10:41
  half
• 10:41
  the
• 10:41
  fun,
• 10:41
  too,
• 10:42
  right?
• 10:43
  Yeah.
• 10:43
  Adjusting
• 10:44
  and
• 10:44
  fixing,
• 10:44
  like,
• 10:45
  stuff
• 10:46
  that
• 10:46
  didn't
• 10:46
  make
• 10:46
  sense
• 10:47
  or
• 10:47
  making
• 10:48
  it
• 10:48
  more
• 10:48
  so
• 10:48
  kids
• 10:49
  will
• 10:49
  understand
• 10:49
  it
• 10:49
  better.
• 10:50
  Absolutely.
• 10:51
  So
• 10:52
  Bailey
• 10:52
  had
• 10:52
  a
• 10:52
  lot
• 10:53
  of
• 10:53
  great
• 10:53
  suggestions
• 10:54
  and.
• 10:54
  Which
• 10:55
  meant
• 10:55
  that
• 10:55
  we
• 10:56
  rewrote
• 10:56
  it
• 10:56
  a
• 10:57
  couple
• 10:57
  of
• 10:57
  times
• 10:58
  in
• 10:58
  parts,
• 10:59
  and
• 10:59
  we
• 11:00
  recorded
• 11:01
  it
• 11:01
  over
• 11:01
  again
• 11:02
  sometimes.
• 11:03
  But
• 11:03
  that's
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  fun
• 11:04
  behind
• 11:04
  it.
• 11:05
  What's
• 11:05
  cool
• 11:06
  is
• 11:07
  that
• 11:07
  is
• 11:08
  part
• 11:08
  of
• 11:08
  the
• 11:08
  fun
• 11:09
  of
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  story
• 11:10
  behind
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  story.
• 11:11
  And
• 11:11
  when
• 11:12
  you
• 11:12
  listen
• 11:12
  to
• 11:14
  some
• 11:14
  of
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  questions
• 11:14
  that
• 11:15
  we're
• 11:15
  going
• 11:15
  to
• 11:15
  talk
• 11:15
  about
• 11:16
  here
• 11:16
  shortly
• 11:17
  with
• 11:18
  Bailey,
• 11:18
  you'll
• 11:19
  find
• 11:19
  out
• 11:19
  that
• 11:19
  this
• 11:19
  actually
• 11:20
  was
• 11:21
  based
• 11:21
  on
• 11:21
  a
• 11:21
  true
• 11:22
  event
• 11:22
  and
• 11:23
  we
• 11:23
  were
• 11:23
  able
• 11:23
  to
• 11:24
  turn
• 11:24
  it
• 11:24
  into
• 11:25
  an
• 11:25
  adventure
• 11:26
  story,
• 11:26
  a

  children's

  book.

  Bailey

  I

  behind

  or

  children
• 11:41
  and
• 11:42
  grandparents
• 11:42
  and
• 11:43
  turn
• 11:43
  them

• 11:49
  and
• 11:49
  I
• 11:49
  discuss
• 11:50
  the
• 11:50
  story
• 11:50
  behind
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  story.
• 11:52
  Hijinks
• 11:53
  from
• 11:53
  the

  Big
• 11:53
  Head
• 11:54
  Folk
• 11:54
  Music
• 11:55
  Festival.
• 11:55
  So,
• 11:56
  Bailey,
• 11:58
  you've
• 11:58
  had
• 11:58
  many
• 11:59
  trips
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  Canmore
• 12:00
  and
• 12:00
  Banff
• 12:00
  National
• 12:01
  Park.
• 12:02
  What
• 12:02
  are
• 12:02
  your
• 12:02
  first
• 12:02
  thoughts
• 12:03
  when
• 12:03
  you
• 12:03
  think
• 12:03
  about
• 12:04
  your
• 12:04
  visits
• 12:05
  to
• 12:05
  the.
• 12:05
  To
• 12:06
  Canmore
• 12:06
  and
• 12:07
  Banff?
• 12:08
  I
• 12:08
  actually.
• 12:08
  All
• 12:09
  my
• 12:09
  visits
• 12:09
  have
• 12:09
  been
• 12:10
  actually
• 12:10
  excellent.
• 12:12
  So
• 12:12
  fun.
• 12:13
  They're
• 12:14
  all
• 12:14
  so
• 12:14
  fun.
• 12:15
  We
• 12:15
  go
• 12:15
  on
• 12:15
  a
• 12:15
  lot
• 12:15
  of
• 12:16
  adventures,
• 12:16
  like
• 12:17
  going
• 12:17
  around
• 12:18
  town
• 12:18
  and
• 12:19
  stuff,
• 12:19
  and
• 12:19
  it's
• 12:20
  a
• 12:20
  lot
• 12:20
  of
• 12:20
  fun.
• 12:21
  And
• 12:21
  what
• 12:21
  makes
• 12:21
  this
• 12:22
  area
• 12:22
  so
• 12:22
  special
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  you?
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  think
• 12:24
  it's
• 12:24
  like
• 12:24
  a
• 12:25
  big
• 12:25
  part
• 12:25
  of
• 12:25
  My
• 12:25
  life
• 12:26
  because
• 12:27
  I've
• 12:27
  had
• 12:27
  so
• 12:27
  many
• 12:27
  adventures
• 12:28
  and
• 12:28
  spending
• 12:29
  time
• 12:29
  with
• 12:30
  family
• 12:30
  there
• 12:30
  and
• 12:30
  stuff.
• 12:31
  Right
• 12:31
  on.
• 12:32
  And
• 12:33
  what's
• 12:33
  interesting,
• 12:34
  this
• 12:34
  story
• 12:34
  is
• 12:34
  based
• 12:35
  on
• 12:35
  actually
• 12:36
  your
• 12:36
  third
• 12:37
  time
• 12:37
  at
• 12:38
  the
• 12:38
  Canmore
• 12:39
  Folk
• 12:39
  Music
• 12:40
  Festival.
• 12:40
  What?
• 12:41
  Why
• 12:41
  did
• 12:42
  you
• 12:42
  want
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  return
• 12:43
  year
• 12:43
  after
• 12:43
  year
• 12:44
  to
• 12:44
  the
• 12:44
  festival?
• 12:45
  I
• 12:45
  wanted
• 12:46
  to
• 12:46
  return
• 12:46
  year
• 12:46
  after
• 12:47
  year
• 12:47
  because
• 12:48
  one
• 12:48
  year
• 12:49
  I
• 12:49
  had
• 12:49
  so
• 12:49
  much
• 12:50
  fun,
• 12:50
  the
• 12:50
  next
• 12:50
  year
• 12:50
  I
• 12:51
  had
• 12:51
  even
• 12:51
  more
• 12:51
  fun.
• 12:52
  And
• 12:52
  the
• 12:52
  third
• 12:53
  year
• 12:53
  was
• 12:53
  probably
• 12:53
  the.
• 12:54
  My
• 12:54
  favorite
• 12:54
  year
• 12:55
  I've
• 12:55
  ever
• 12:55
  gone
• 12:56
  there.
• 12:56
  And
• 12:57
  folks
• 12:58
  and
• 12:58
  kids,
• 12:59
  even
• 12:59
  though
• 13:00
  this
• 13:00
  was
• 13:01
  Bailey's
• 13:01
  third
• 13:01
  time,
• 13:02
  it
• 13:02
  was
• 13:03
  actually
• 13:03
  her
• 13:03
  brother
• 13:04
  Leland's
• 13:05
  first
• 13:05
  time

• 16:50
  remember
• 16:50
  walking
• 16:50
  up
• 16:51
  being
• 16:51
  so
• 16:51
  confused,
• 16:52
  but,
• 16:52
  like,
• 16:53
  nervous,
• 16:53
  too,
• 16:53
  of
• 16:54
  why
• 16:54
  they
• 16:54
  called
• 16:54
  my
• 16:54
  name,
• 16:55
  gave
• 16:55
  me
• 16:55
  this
• 16:56
  bag,
• 16:57
  this,
• 16:58
  like,
• 16:59
  toy
• 16:59
  that
• 16:59
  you
• 17:00
  push
• 17:00
  its
• 17:00
  belly
• 17:00
  and
• 17:01
  then,
• 17:01
  like,
• 17:01
  a
• 17:01
  ball
• 17:02
  shoots
• 17:02
  out
• 17:02
  of
• 17:02
  its
• 17:03
  mouth.
• 17:03
  And
• 17:03
  that
• 17:04
  was
• 17:04
  so
• 17:04
  cool.
• 17:05
  And
• 17:05
  then
• 17:06
  I
• 17:06
  remember
• 17:06
  going.

  next

  I
• 17:12

  The

• 17:40
  neat

  that
• 17:40
  the

  next

  going

  I

  about
• 17:54
  that,
• 17:54
  though,
• 17:54
  is
• 17:55
  I
• 17:55
  did
• 17:56
  win,
• 17:56
  but
• 17:57
  I
• 17:57
  won
• 17:58
  mostly
• 17:59
  because
• 17:59
  I
• 17:59
  had
• 18:00
  Kira
• 18:00
  with
• 18:00
  me

  me
• 18:02
  out
• 18:03
  with

  the
• 18:03
  questions
• 18:04
  as
• 18:04
  I
• 18:04
  was
• 18:04
  quite
• 18:05
  little
• 18:05
  to
• 18:06
  probably
• 18:06
  get
• 18:06
  them
• 18:06
  all.
• 18:07
  Right.
• 18:07
  Right.
• 18:08
  So
• 18:09

  relive
• 20:41
  some
• 20:42
  of
• 20:42
  our
• 20:42
  fondest
• 20:43
  memories
• 20:44
  with
• 20:45
  our
• 20:45
  children
• 20:46
  and
• 20:46
  our
• 20:46
  grandchildren
• 20:47
  and
• 20:47
  to
• 20:48
  actually
• 20:48
  be
• 20:48
  able
• 20:48
  to
• 20:49
  put
• 20:49
  them
• 20:49
  into
• 20:49
  words
• 20:50
  and
• 20:50
  then
• 20:51
  possibly
• 20:52
  draw
• 20:52
  them
• 20:54
  just
• 20:54
  is
• 20:54
  so
• 20:55
  much
• 20:55
  fun.
• 20:55
  So
• 20:56
  we
• 20:56
  hope
• 20:56
  that
• 20:57
  this
• 20:57
  gives
• 20:57
  you
• 20:57
  a
• 20:58
  little
• 20:58
  inspiration.
• 20:58
  I
• 20:59
  hope
• 20:59
  Bailey's
• 21:00
  given
• 21:00
  you
• 21:00
  a
• 21:00
  little
• 21:00
  inspiration
• 21:01
  about
• 21:01
  how
• 21:01
  you
• 21:02
  can
• 21:02
  capture
• 21:03
  those
• 21:03
  memories
• 21:03
  and
• 21:04
  get
• 21:04
  to
• 21:04
  relive
• 21:05
  them,
• 21:05
  which
• 21:05
  is
• 21:06
  so
• 21:06
  neat.
• 21:06
  Is
• 21:07
  there
• 21:07
  anything
• 21:07
  else
• 21:07
  you'd
• 21:08
  like
• 21:08
  to
• 21:08
  share
• 21:08
  with
• 21:09
  the
• 21:09
  other
• 21:10
  kids
• 21:10
  listening
• 21:11
  on
• 21:11
  to
• 21:11
  this?
• 21:12
  I
• 21:12
  say
• 21:13
  just
• 21:13
  really
• 21:14
  fun
• 21:14
  to,
• 21:15
  you
• 21:15
  know,
• 21:15
  go
• 21:16
  on
• 21:16
  all
• 21:16
  these
• 21:17
  memory
• 21:17
  trips
• 21:18
  and
• 21:19
  to,
• 21:19
  like,
• 21:19
  tell
• 21:20
  your
• 21:20
  story
• 21:21
  of
• 21:21
  how
• 21:22
  fun
• 21:22
  it
• 21:22
  was
• 21:23
  for
• 21:23
  you
• 21:24
  and
• 21:25
  how
• 21:26
  you
• 21:26
  can
• 21:26
  just
• 21:26
  tell
• 21:27
  everyone
• 21:27
  else
• 21:27
  your
• 21:27
  story
• 21:28
  of.
• 21:28
  For
• 21:29
  sure.
• 21:29
  And
• 21:30
  that's.
• 21:31
  That's
• 21:31
  part
• 21:32
  of
• 21:32
  what
• 21:32
  Bailey's
• 21:33
  saying,
• 21:34
  is
• 21:34
  being
• 21:34
  able
• 21:35
  to
• 21:35
  kind
• 21:35
  of
• 21:35
  relive
• 21:36
  those
• 21:36
  moments.
• 21:36
  I
• 21:37
  don't
• 21:37
  think.
• 21:38
  I
• 21:38
  think
• 21:39
  enjoying
• 21:40
  some
• 21:40
  of
• 21:41
  your
• 21:41
  past
• 21:41
  memories.
• 21:42
  And,
• 21:42
  you
• 21:42
  know,
• 21:42
  we've
• 21:43
  talked
• 21:43
  about
• 21:43
  this
• 21:43
  before,
• 21:44
  myself
• 21:44
  and
• 21:44
  Bailey
• 21:45
  and
• 21:46
  my
• 21:46
  other
• 21:46
  grandchildren,
• 21:47
  and
• 21:48
  sometimes
• 21:49
  you
• 21:49
  think,
• 21:49
  oh,
• 21:49
  you
• 21:50
  know
• 21:50
  what,
• 21:50
  we'll
• 21:51
  just
• 21:51
  go
• 21:51
  back
• 21:51
  the
• 21:51
  next
• 21:52
  year
• 21:52
  and
• 21:52
  do
• 21:52
  it
• 21:52
  again,
• 21:53
  or
• 21:53
  whatever.
• 21:53
  But
• 21:54
  life
• 21:55
  doesn't
• 21:55
  quite
• 21:55
  work
• 21:56
  that
• 21:56
  way
• 21:56
  all
• 21:57
  the
• 21:57
  time.
• 21:57
  So
• 21:58
  there's
• 21:59
  things
• 21:59
  that
• 22:00
  can
• 22:01
  get
• 22:01
  in
• 22:01
  the
• 22:01
  way.
• 22:02
  And
• 22:03
  that's
• 22:03
  what
• 22:03
  makes
• 22:04
  doing
• 22:05
  something
• 22:05
  like
• 22:05
  this
• 22:05
  even
• 22:06
  more
• 22:06
  special,
• 22:07
  is
• 22:07
  you're
• 22:08
  able
• 22:08
  to
• 22:09
  relive
• 22:09
  those
• 22:09
  moments
• 22:10
  and
• 22:11
  maybe
• 22:11
  you
• 22:11
  can
• 22:11
  never
• 22:12
  duplicate
• 22:12
  them
• 22:13
  exactly
• 22:13
  the
• 22:13
  way
• 22:14
  they
• 22:14
  were.
• 22:15
  You
• 22:15
  just
• 22:15
  have
• 22:15
  to
• 22:15
  build
• 22:16
  new
• 22:16
  adventures.
• 22:17
  Right,
• 22:17
  Billy?
• 22:18
  Exactly.
• 22:19
  And
• 22:19
  what
• 22:19
  else
• 22:20
  would
• 22:20
  you
• 22:20
  like
• 22:20
  to
• 22:21
  share?
• 22:21
  When
• 22:21
  you
• 22:21
  think
• 22:22
  about
• 22:22
  creating
• 22:22
  these
• 22:23
  audiobooks
• 22:24
  and
• 22:24
  stories,
• 22:25
  is
• 22:25
  there
• 22:25
  something
• 22:26
  that
• 22:26
  you
• 22:27
  think
• 22:27
  the
• 22:27
  people
• 22:28
  can
• 22:28
  learn
• 22:28
  from
• 22:28
  this?
• 22:29
  They
• 22:29
  can
• 22:30
  just
• 22:30
  learn
• 22:30
  about
• 22:31
  each
• 22:31
  character
• 22:32
  and
• 22:32
  their
• 22:33
  adventures
• 22:33
  with,
• 22:34
  you
• 22:34
  know,
• 22:34
  Caboose
• 22:35
  and
• 22:36
  going
• 22:36
  to
• 22:36
  the
• 22:37
  Kenmar
• 22:38
  and
• 22:38
  stuff,
• 22:39
  and
• 22:39
  how
• 22:40
  they
• 22:40
  had
• 22:40
  a
• 22:41
  blast
• 22:41
  and
• 22:41
  telling
• 22:42
  all
• 22:42
  their
• 22:42
  stories
• 22:42
  of
• 22:43
  how
• 22:43
  it
• 22:43
  was.
• 22:44
  So,
• 22:44
  folks,
• 22:45
  we
• 22:45
  want
• 22:45
  to
• 22:45
  thank

• 22:45
  for
• 22:46
  listening

  Bailey

  and
• 22:48
  I
• 22:48
  talk
• 22:48
  about
• 22:49
  the
• 22:49
  story
• 22:49

  And

  Bailey.

  As

  today's

  we

  want
• 24:06
  to
• 24:06
  share
• 24:07
  a
• 24:07
  few
• 24:07
  more
• 24:07
  thoughts
• 24:08
  on
• 24:08
  a
• 24:08
  book
• 24:09
  release
• 24:09
  and
• 24:10
  offer

  these
• 24:11
  following
• 24:11
  suggestions
• 24:12
  to
• 24:12
  support
• 24:13
  your
• 24:13
  book
• 24:13
  launch.
• 24:14
  First,
• 24:15
  ask
• 24:15
  yourself
• 24:15
  does
• 24:16
  this
• 24:16
  event
• 24:17
  match
• 24:17
  your
• 24:17
  age
• 24:18
  demographics?
• 24:19
  Is
• 24:19
  it
• 24:20
  specifically
• 24:21
  directed
• 24:22
  at
• 24:22
  young
• 24:22
  children
• 24:23
  who
• 24:23
  are
• 24:24
  with
• 24:24
  their
• 24:24
  parents
• 24:24
  or
• 24:25
  grandparents?
• 24:26
  Or
• 24:26
  is
• 24:27
  it
• 24:27
  directed
• 24:28
  at
• 24:28
  parents
• 24:28
  and
• 24:29
  grandparents
• 24:29
  who
• 24:30
  are
• 24:30
  looking
• 24:30
  for
• 24:30
  this
• 24:30
  type
• 24:31
  of
• 24:31
  book
• 24:31
  to
• 24:32
  purchase?
• 24:33
  Second,
• 24:33
  pricing
• 24:34
  for
• 24:34
  us,
• 24:34
  we
• 24:35
  needed
• 24:35
  to
• 24:35
  make
• 24:35
  sure
• 24:36
  we
• 24:36
  had
• 24:36
  a
• 24:36
  way
• 24:36
  of
• 24:36
  accepting
• 24:37
  payments
• 24:38
  easily,
• 24:39
  so
• 24:39
  we
• 24:39
  set
• 24:40
  ourselves
• 24:40
  up
• 24:40
  a
• 24:41
  square
• 24:41
  account
• 24:42
  and
• 24:42
  we
• 24:42
  can
• 24:42
  actually
• 24:43
  take
• 24:43
  payments
• 24:43
  on
• 24:44
  our
• 24:44
  smartphones.
• 24:45
  The
• 24:46
  other
• 24:46
  thing
• 24:46
  is
• 24:46
  we
• 24:47
  made
• 24:47
  the
• 24:48
  price
• 24:48
  so
• 24:49
  that
• 24:49
  it
• 24:49
  would
• 24:49
  round
• 24:49
  up
• 24:50
  to
• 24:50
  a
• 24:50
  number
• 24:51
  that
• 24:51
  people
• 24:52
  could
• 24:52
  easily
• 24:53
  pay
• 24:53
  cash
• 24:54
  if
• 24:54
  that's
• 24:55
  the
• 24:55
  way
• 24:55
  they
• 24:55
  wanted
• 24:55
  to
• 24:55
  purchase
• 24:56
  our
• 24:56
  book.
• 24:56
  Third
• 24:57
  thing,
• 24:57
  even
• 24:58
  though
• 24:58
  we
• 24:58
  were
• 24:58
  launching
• 24:58
  our
• 24:59
  book
• 24:59
  at
• 24:59
  a
• 24:59
  major
• 24:59
  event,
• 25:00
  we
• 25:00
  were
• 25:01
  using
• 25:01
  our
• 25:01
  podcast
• 25:02
  show
• 25:02
  and
• 25:02
  social
• 25:03
  media
• 25:03
  to
• 25:04
  help
• 25:05
  announce
• 25:06
  our
• 25:06
  book
• 25:06
  launch.
• 25:07
  And
• 25:07
  you
• 25:08
  know
• 25:08
  what?
• 25:08
  We
• 25:08
  are
• 25:08
  experimenting
• 25:09
  with
• 25:09
  this
• 25:10
  and
• 25:10
  we
• 25:10
  want
• 25:10
  to
• 25:11
  see
• 25:11
  how
• 25:11
  it
• 25:11
  goes.
• 25:12
  I
• 25:12
  thought
• 25:12
  about
• 25:13
  checking
• 25:13
  into
• 25:13
  live
• 25:14
  streaming
• 25:15
  and
• 25:15
  if
• 25:15
  this
• 25:15
  isn't
• 25:16
  possible,
• 25:17
  we
• 25:17
  will
• 25:17
  at
• 25:18
  the
• 25:18
  very
• 25:18
  least
• 25:18
  capture
• 25:19
  on
• 25:20
  video
• 25:20
  our
• 25:21
  book
• 25:21
  launch
• 25:21
  event
• 25:22
  and
• 25:23
  use
• 25:23
  it
• 25:24
  in
• 25:24
  the
• 25:24
  future
• 25:25
  on
• 25:25
  our
• 25:25
  website.
• 25:26
  Fourth,
• 25:27
  we're
• 25:27
  using
• 25:27
  other
• 25:28
  marketing
• 25:29
  ideas
• 25:29
  to
• 25:30
  encourage
• 25:30
  the
• 25:31
  purchase
• 25:31
  of
• 25:31
  our
• 25:32
  first
• 25:32
  book,
• 25:33
  the
• 25:33
  Adventures
• 25:33
  of
• 25:33
  Caboose
• 25:34
  the
• 25:34
  Rocky
• 25:34
  Mountain
• 25:35
  Bear,
• 25:35
  and
• 25:36
  we
• 25:36
  are
• 25:36
  using
• 25:36
  free
• 25:37
  bookmarks
• 25:38
  and
• 25:38
  activity
• 25:39
  pages
• 25:40
  that
• 25:40
  direct
• 25:40
  people
• 25:41
  to
• 25:41
  our
• 25:42
  website.
• 25:42
  Fifth,
• 25:43
  we're
• 25:43
  looking
• 25:44
  to
• 25:44
  have
• 25:44
  a
• 25:44
  draw
• 25:44
  for
• 25:45
  a
• 25:45
  couple
• 25:45
  of
• 25:45
  our
• 25:45
  books
• 25:46
  and
• 25:46
  have
• 25:47
  some
• 25:47
  fun
• 25:47
  with
• 25:47
  the
• 25:48
  audience.
• 25:49
  Lastly,
• 25:50
  we're
• 25:50
  going
• 25:50
  to
• 25:51
  create
• 25:51
  a
• 25:51
  podcast
• 25:52
  show
• 25:52
  after
• 25:53
  the
• 25:53
  event
• 25:53
  to
• 25:54
  share
• 25:54
  ideas
• 25:54
  with
• 25:55
  you,
• 25:55
  our
• 25:55
  podcast
• 25:56
  audience,
• 25:57
  and
• 25:57
  share
• 25:57
  our
• 25:58
  learning.
• 25:58
  We
• 25:58
  hope
• 25:58
  we've
• 25:59
  triggered
• 26:00
  thoughts
• 26:00
  to
• 26:01
  help
• 26:01
  you
