  Tell us about this book and what made you want to write it. I
• 0:02
  believe you have two kids. I bet reading a lot of kids' books to
• 0:06
  get your kids ready for Beta, among other things, was part of the
• 0:09
  prompting. But what exactly is the book and why did you want to write
• 0:12
  it? Yeah? Well, I partnered with Brave Books, and everybody who's
• 0:16
  heard of Great Books knows what a great job they do. They basically are
• 0:21
  a faith based, you know, book company who wants to teach morals to
• 0:26
  our kids, who wants to make a safe space where every parent can feel
• 0:29
  comfortable letting their kids read their books and really getting immersed in the books.
• 0:34
  It feels like everywhere you turn these days, wokeness infiltrates everything, and so
• 0:38
  I think a lot of parents, like myself, were concerned. You know,
• 0:42
  we want to ensure that we're instilling the same values in our children that
• 0:46
  our parents instilled in us. And so I partnered with them because I thought
• 0:49
  they were a great company. And it's really the book is about hard work.
• 0:54
  I feel like we live in a society where hard work is just falling
• 0:57
  by the wayside. Kids don't appreciate what hard work get you. Everything is
• 1:00
  so easy and accessible for them these days, and how great it feels to
• 1:04
  put in a good heart day's work and get results on the other side of
• 1:10
  it. So I actually wrote this book with them, you know, like
• 1:14
  seven months ago. And of course the irony is that you look at my
• 1:17
  father in law. He is kind of the epitome of never giving up.
• 1:21
  And it really wasn't fully intended to be about him, but you could kind
• 1:25
  of, you know, put the two stories together. He doesn't give up,
• 1:29
  neither does the dog in the book. And of course it's it's about
• 1:32
  animals. Dogs one of my favorite things. So I would just encourage parents
• 1:37
  out there if you want to feel comfortable about what you're reading to your kids.
