  I'm
• 3:33

  forward

  our

  conversation.
• 3:35
  Before
• 3:36
  we
• 3:36
  get
• 3:36
  into
• 3:37
  Dina,
• 3:37
  before
• 3:37
  we
• 3:37
  get
• 3:37
  into
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  details
• 3:38
  of
• 3:38
  your
• 3:39
  book
• 3:39
  and
• 3:39
  your
• 3:39
  children's
• 3:40
  book
• 3:40
  authorship,
• 3:41
  can
• 3:41
  you
• 3:42
  tell
• 3:42
  us
• 3:42
  what
• 3:43
  it
• 3:43
  means
• 3:43
  to
• 3:44
  you
• 3:45
  being
• 3:45
  a
• 3:46
  children's
• 3:46
  book
• 3:46
  author?
• 3:48
  Gosh,
• 3:48
  that's
• 3:48
  such
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  good
• 3:49
  question.
• 3:50
  We
• 3:50
  were
• 3:51
  talking
• 3:51
  before
• 3:51
  we
• 3:52
  started
• 3:52
  recording,
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  you
• 3:53
  said,
• 3:53
  if
• 3:53
  you
• 3:53
  could
• 3:53
  just
• 3:53
  help
• 3:54
  one
• 3:54
  author.
• 3:55
  And
• 3:55
  I
• 3:55
  think
• 3:55
  that's
• 3:56
  where
• 3:56
  I'm
• 3:56
  coming
• 3:56
  from
• 3:57
  in
• 3:57
  my
• 3:57
  book
• 3:57
  series.
• 3:58
  My
• 3:58
  book
• 3:59
  series
• 3:59
  focuses
• 4:00
  on
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  topic
• 4:02
  of
• 4:02
  emotional
• 4:02
  intelligence
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  the
• 4:05
  framework.
• 4:05
  That's
• 4:05
  the
• 4:06
  framework
• 4:06
  for
• 4:06
  my
• 4:06
  series.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:07
  I've
• 4:08
  always
• 4:08
  gone
• 4:08
  in
• 4:08
  and
• 4:09
  said,
• 4:09
  if
• 4:09
  I
• 4:09
  can
• 4:09
  help
• 4:09
  one
• 4:10
  child,
• 4:11
  then
• 4:11
  it's
• 4:12
  all
• 4:12
  worth
• 4:12
  it.
• 4:13
  And
• 4:13
  as
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  children's
• 4:15
  book
• 4:15
  author
• 4:15
  now,
• 4:16
  recently
• 4:16
  just
• 4:17
  my
• 4:17
  first
• 4:17
  book
• 4:17
  got
• 4:17
  published
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  August.
• 4:18
  So
• 4:19
  it's
• 4:19
  so
• 4:19
  new.
• 4:20
  So
• 4:20
  now
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  could
• 4:20
  say
• 4:21
  I'm
• 4:21
  actually
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  children's
• 4:21
  book
• 4:22
  if
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  could
• 4:22
  just
• 4:22
  help
• 4:23
  one
• 4:23
  child.
• 4:23
  That
• 4:24
  was
• 4:24
  always
• 4:24
  my
• 4:24
  motivating
• 4:25
  factor.
• 4:25
  Just
• 4:26
  one
• 4:26
  child.
• 4:26
  Because
• 4:26
  if
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  plant
• 4:27
  that
• 4:27
  one
• 4:28
  seed,
• 4:29
  who
• 4:29
  knows
• 4:29
  where
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  next
• 4:30
  seed
• 4:30
  is
• 4:30
  going
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  be
• 4:31
  planted?
• 4:32
  Absolutely.
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  couldn't
• 4:33
  agree
• 4:33
  with
• 4:33
  you
• 4:34
  more.
• 4:35
  So
• 4:35
  tell
• 4:35
  us
• 4:35
  a
• 4:36
  little
• 4:36
  bit
• 4:36
  about
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  inspiration
• 4:37
  behind
• 4:38
  this
• 4:38
  first
• 4:39
  book.
• 4:40
  Okay.
• 4:40
  Yes.
• 4:41
  So
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  first
• 4:41
  book
• 4:42
  in
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  series
• 4:43
  is
• 4:43
  called
• 4:44
  Bella
• 4:44
  and
• 4:44
  Bird
• 4:45
  Explore
• 4:45
  Anger.
• 4:47
  And
• 4:47
  it's
• 4:47
  about
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  little
• 4:48
  boy
• 4:48
  named
• 4:48
  Henry,
• 4:49
  and
• 4:49
  he
• 4:50
  comes
• 4:50
  storming
• 4:51
  into
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  pastor,
• 4:52
  very
• 4:52
  angry.
• 4:53
  But
• 4:53
  how
• 4:53
  did
• 4:53
  I
• 4:53
  come
• 4:54
  up
• 4:54
  with
• 4:54
  my
• 4:54
  book
• 4:55
  series
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  my
• 4:55
  first
• 4:56
  book?
• 4:56
  That's
• 4:57
  a
• 4:57
  story
• 4:58
  in
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  itself.
• 4:59
  And
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  think
• 4:59
  when
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  begin
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  journey
• 5:01
  of
• 5:01
  writing
• 5:01
  and
• 5:02
  writing
• 5:02
  for
• 5:02
  children
• 5:03
  as
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  children's
• 5:04
  author,
• 5:05
  it
• 5:05
  does
• 5:05
  begin
• 5:05
  as
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  journey.
• 5:06
  There's
• 5:07
  something
• 5:07
  that
• 5:08
  has
• 5:08
  brought
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  along
• 5:09
  in
• 5:10
  your
• 5:10
  life
• 5:10
  and
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  your
• 5:11
  experiences,
• 5:12
  and
• 5:13
  it
• 5:13
  starts
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  just
• 5:14
  manifold
• 5:14
  and
• 5:14
  come
• 5:15
  together,
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  that's
• 5:16
  exactly
• 5:16
  what
• 5:16
  happened.
• 5:17
  So
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  would
• 5:18
  have
• 5:18
  never
• 5:18
  imagined
• 5:19
  in
• 5:19
  a
• 5:20
  million
• 5:20
  years,
• 5:21
  first
• 5:21
  that
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  would
• 5:22
  be
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  children's
• 5:22
  book
• 5:23
  author.
• 5:24
  And
• 5:24
  it
• 5:24
  took
• 5:24
  a
• 5:25
  hurricane
• 5:26
  and
• 5:26
  a
• 5:27
  horse
• 5:27
  to
• 5:28
  hurl
• 5:28
  in
• 5:29
  my
• 5:29
  children's
• 5:30
  book
• 5:30
  series,
• 5:31
  literally.
• 5:32
  So
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  2022,
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  adopted
• 5:36
  my
• 5:36
  horse,
• 5:36
  Bella.
• 5:37
  That's
• 5:38
  where
• 5:38
  Bella
• 5:38
  comes
• 5:39
  from.
• 5:39
  So
• 5:40
  I
• 5:40
  adopted
• 5:40
  her
• 5:41
  for
• 5:41
  my
• 5:41
  equine
• 5:42
  psychotherapy
• 5:43
  practice
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  Florida,
• 5:45
  and
• 5:46
  I
• 5:46
  wanted
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  do
• 5:47
  equine
• 5:48
  psychotherapy
• 5:49
  therapy.
• 5:49
  So
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  trained
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  I
• 5:50
  got
• 5:51
  certified.
• 5:52
  I'm
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  licensed
• 5:53
  mental
• 5:53
  health
• 5:53
  counselor
• 5:54
  and
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  wanted
• 5:56
  to
• 5:56
  focus
• 5:57
  on
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  equine
• 5:58
  therapy
• 5:58
  with
• 5:59
  kids
• 5:59
  and
• 5:59
  adults.
• 6:00
  Can
• 6:00
  you
• 6:01
  explain
• 6:01
  equine
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  the
• 6:02
  listening
• 6:03
  audience?
• 6:04
  Absolutely.
• 6:04
  So
• 6:04
  equine
• 6:05
  is
• 6:05
  just
• 6:05
  another
• 6:05
  name
• 6:06
  for
• 6:06
  horse.
• 6:07
  So
• 6:07
  equine
• 6:07
  is
• 6:08
  horse.
• 6:08
  So
• 6:08
  horse
• 6:08
  therapy,
• 6:09
  equine.
• 6:10
  Some
• 6:10
  people
• 6:10
  say
• 6:11
  equine,
• 6:12
  depending
• 6:12
  on
• 6:12
  where
• 6:13
  you
• 6:13
  live.
• 6:13
  So
• 6:14
  equine
• 6:14
  is
• 6:15
  just
• 6:15
  simply
• 6:15
  another
• 6:15
  term
• 6:16
  for
• 6:16
  a
• 6:16
  horse.
• 6:17
  So
• 6:18
  equine
• 6:18
  psychotherapy
• 6:20
  involves
• 6:22
  groundwork.
• 6:23
  So
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  have
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  client,
• 6:24
  instead
• 6:25
  of
• 6:25
  being
• 6:25
  in
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  office
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  doing
• 6:26
  talk
• 6:27
  therapy
• 6:27
  across
• 6:28
  from
• 6:28
  a
• 6:28
  desk,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  bring
• 6:30
  clients
• 6:30
  into
• 6:31
  nature
• 6:32
  and
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  have
• 6:34
  them
• 6:34
  narrate
• 6:34
  their
• 6:35
  stories.
• 6:36
  And
• 6:36
  you
• 6:37
  partner
• 6:38
  with
• 6:38
  horses
• 6:39
  because
• 6:39
  you
• 6:40
  typically
• 6:40
  bring
• 6:40
  them
• 6:41
  into
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  pastor
• 6:42
  and
• 6:42
  clients.
• 6:44
  It's
• 6:44
  all
• 6:44
  groundwork.
• 6:45
  There's
• 6:45
  no
• 6:45
  riding
• 6:46
  involved.
• 6:46
  So
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  don't
• 6:46
  have
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  have
• 6:47
  any
• 6:47
  experience
• 6:48
  with
• 6:48
  horses
• 6:49
  at
• 6:49
  all.
• 6:49
  You
• 6:50
  go
• 6:50
  into
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  pastor,
• 6:51
  there's
• 6:51
  the
• 6:52
  licensed
• 6:53
  therapist,
• 6:54
  and
• 6:54
  then
• 6:54
  there's
• 6:54
  also
• 6:55
  what
• 6:55
  we
• 6:55
  call
• 6:55
  an
• 6:55
  equine,
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  horse
• 6:57
  specialist
• 6:57
  who's
• 6:58
  there.
• 6:58
  And
• 6:59
  they're
• 6:59
  there
• 6:59
  for
• 6:59
  safety
• 7:00
  reasons
• 7:00
  because
• 7:00
  horses
• 7:01
  are
• 7:01
  giant
• 7:01
  animals,
• 7:01
  and
• 7:02
  they
• 7:02
  can
• 7:03
  be
• 7:03
  very.
• 7:04
  They
• 7:04
  can
• 7:04
  be
• 7:04
  very
• 7:04
  scary
• 7:05
  for
• 7:05
  some
• 7:05
  people.
• 7:06
  And
• 7:07
  so
• 7:07
  you
• 7:07
  have
• 7:07
  an
• 7:07
  equine
• 7:08
  specialist
• 7:08
  there
• 7:08
  just
• 7:09
  for
• 7:09
  safety
• 7:09
  reasons,
• 7:10
  but
• 7:10
  you
• 7:10
  typically
• 7:11
  utilize
• 7:12
  horses
• 7:12
  or
• 7:12
  partner
• 7:13
  with
• 7:13
  horses
• 7:14
  who,
• 7:14
  you
• 7:14
  know,
• 7:15
  are
• 7:15
  very
• 7:15
  calm
• 7:16
  and
• 7:16
  docile.
• 7:17
  So
• 7:17
  they're
• 7:17
  in
• 7:18
  their
• 7:18
  pasture,
• 7:18
  and
• 7:19
  you
• 7:19
  have
• 7:19
  clients
• 7:20
  narrate
• 7:21
  whatever
• 7:21
  it
• 7:22
  is
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  they're
• 7:22
  struggling
• 7:23
  with
• 7:24
  in
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  pasture,
• 7:25
  almost
• 7:25
  through
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  horses.
• 7:27
  The
• 7:27
  horses
• 7:27
  bring
• 7:28
  out
• 7:28
  something
• 7:28
  very
• 7:29
  magical
• 7:29
  in
• 7:29
  all
• 7:30
  of
• 7:30
  us
• 7:30
  when
• 7:30
  we're
• 7:30
  around
• 7:31
  horses,
• 7:31
  and
• 7:32
  we
• 7:32
  come
• 7:32
  very
• 7:32
  in
• 7:33
  tune
• 7:34
  within
• 7:34
  ourselves.
• 7:35
  So
• 7:35
  when
• 7:35
  we're
• 7:36
  able
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  do
• 7:36
  that,
• 7:38
  clients
• 7:38
  can
• 7:39
  begin
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  tell
• 7:40
  their
• 7:40
  story.
• 7:41
  And
• 7:41
  when
• 7:42
  they
• 7:42
  start
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  tell
• 7:42
  their
• 7:43
  story
• 7:43
  in
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  pastor
• 7:44
  or
• 7:44
  even
• 7:44
  in
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  barn
• 7:45
  with
• 7:45
  they're
• 7:46
  grooming
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  horses,
• 7:47
  that's
• 7:48
  just
• 7:48
  another
• 7:48
  avenue
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  get
• 7:50
  clients
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  open
• 7:51
  up
• 7:51
  and
• 7:51
  to
• 7:52
  share
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  struggles
• 7:53
  that
• 7:53
  they're
• 7:53
  having
• 7:54
  and
• 7:54
  also
• 7:55
  further
• 7:55
  down
• 7:55
  the
• 7:56
  road
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  begin
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  heal.
• 7:58
  So
• 7:58
  I
• 7:58
  adopted
• 7:59
  Bella
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  purpose,
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  partner
• 8:02
  with
• 8:02
  me
• 8:03
  and
• 8:03
  in
• 8:03
  my
• 8:04
  equine
• 8:04
  practice.
• 8:06
  She
• 8:06
  came
• 8:07
  from
• 8:07
  Southern
• 8:07
  California,
• 8:09
  and
• 8:09
  she
• 8:10
  traveled
• 8:11
  all.
• 8:12
  All
• 8:12
  through
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  country.
• 8:13
  That's
• 8:13
  a
• 8:13
  long
• 8:13
  way
• 8:13
  to
• 8:14
  come.
• 8:14
  That's
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  long
• 8:15
  way.
• 8:16
  It
• 8:17
  took
• 8:17
  her
• 8:17
  a
• 8:17
  week.
• 8:18
  Hopefully
• 8:18
  nobody.
• 8:19
  It
• 8:19
  wasn't
• 8:19
  Pony
• 8:20
  Express.
• 8:23
  So
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  wish
• 8:23
  it
• 8:23
  was,
• 8:24
  but
• 8:24
  no.
• 8:24
  She
• 8:25
  was
• 8:25
  trailered
• 8:25
  with
• 8:25
  a
• 8:26
  fantastic
• 8:26
  guy
• 8:27
  who
• 8:27
  brought
• 8:28
  her
• 8:28
  all
• 8:28
  from
• 8:29
  Southern
• 8:29
  California
• 8:30
  all
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  way
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  southwest
• 8:31
  Florida
• 8:32
  to
• 8:33
  where
• 8:33
  we
• 8:33
  lived,
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  we
• 8:34
  live
• 8:34
  on
• 8:35
  an
• 8:35
  island
• 8:35
  in
• 8:36
  southwest
• 8:36
  Florida.
• 8:37
  So
• 8:37
  she
• 8:38
  arrived,
• 8:39
  as
• 8:40
  fate
• 8:40
  would
• 8:40
  have
• 8:40
  it,
• 8:41
  she
• 8:42
  arrived
• 8:42
  early.
• 8:43
  So
• 8:43
  she
• 8:44
  arrived
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  week
• 8:45
  early.
• 8:46
  And
• 8:47
  because
• 8:47
  of
• 8:48
  arriving
• 8:49
  early,
• 8:49
  when
• 8:49
  she
• 8:50
  arrived,
• 8:50
  she
• 8:50
  got
• 8:50
  settled
• 8:51
  for
• 8:51
  a
• 8:51
  few
• 8:51
  days.
• 8:52
  Hurricane
• 8:53
  Ian
• 8:53
  in
• 8:54
  2022
• 8:55
  hit
• 8:55
  directly
• 8:56
  on
• 8:56
  our
• 8:56
  island.
• 8:57
  And
• 8:57
  it
• 8:58
  devastated
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  island.
• 8:59
  It
• 8:59
  was
• 8:59
  catastrophic.
• 9:01
  We
• 9:01
  only
• 9:02
  had
• 9:02
  a
• 9:03
  very
• 9:03
  short
• 9:03
  window
• 9:04
  where
• 9:04
  the
• 9:05
  people
• 9:05
  in
• 9:06
  our
• 9:06
  area
• 9:06
  in
• 9:06
  southwest
• 9:07
  Florida
• 9:07
  were
• 9:07
  notified
• 9:08
  because
• 9:08
  Hurricane
• 9:09
  Ian
• 9:09
  was
• 9:09
  supposed
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  go
• 9:10
  up
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  coast
• 9:10
  and
• 9:11
  hit
• 9:11
  Tampa.
• 9:12
  Okay?
• 9:12
  And
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  news
• 9:13
  was
• 9:14
  very
• 9:14
  big
• 9:14
  on
• 9:14
  that,
• 9:15
  because
• 9:15
  hitting
• 9:15
  a
• 9:16
  hurricane
• 9:16
  hitting
• 9:17
  Tampa
• 9:18
  would
• 9:18
  be
• 9:18
  devastating.
• 9:19
  A
• 9:19
  hurricane
• 9:19
  hitting
• 9:20
  anywhere
• 9:20
  is
• 9:20
  devastating.
• 9:21
  Now
• 9:22
  we
• 9:22
  get
• 9:22
  notifications
• 9:23
  16
• 9:23
  hours
• 9:24
  before
• 9:24
  that
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  hurricane
• 9:25
  turned
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  that
• 9:26
  it
• 9:27
  was
• 9:27
  going
• 9:27
  to
• 9:27
  hit
• 9:27
  us
• 9:27
  directly.
• 9:29
  Now,
• 9:29
  I
• 9:29
  just
• 9:30
  literally
• 9:30
  adopted
• 9:31
  her.
• 9:31
  She
• 9:32
  just
• 9:32
  arrived.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:33
  we
• 9:33
  kept
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  horses
• 9:34
  in
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  barn.
• 9:35
  There
• 9:35
  was
• 9:35
  other
• 9:36
  horses
• 9:36
  there,
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  she
• 9:38
  survived.
• 9:38
  It's
• 9:39
  now
• 9:39
  a
• 9:39
  Category
• 9:39
  5
• 9:40
  hurricane.
• 9:41
  It
• 9:42
  was
• 9:42
  so
• 9:42
  catastrophic,
• 9:44
  it
• 9:44
  was
• 9:44
  just
• 9:46
  unbelievable.
• 9:47
  Anyone
• 9:47
  who
• 9:47
  has
• 9:47
  experienced
• 9:48
  any
• 9:48
  kind
• 9:48
  of
• 9:49
  hurricane,
• 9:49
  storm
• 9:50
  of
• 9:51
  earthquakes,
• 9:52
  any
• 9:52
  kind
• 9:52
  of
• 9:53
  catastrophe
• 9:54
  certainly
• 9:54
  can
• 9:54
  understand.
• 9:56
  And
• 9:56
  the
• 9:57
  only
• 9:58
  access
• 9:58
  to
• 9:58
  the
• 9:58
  island,
• 9:59
  there
• 9:59
  was
• 9:59
  one
• 9:59
  lane.
• 10:00
  Bridge
• 10:00
  was
• 10:01
  damaged,
• 10:02
  so
• 10:02
  you
• 10:03
  couldn't
• 10:03
  get
• 10:03
  on
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  island.
• 10:04
  The
• 10:04
  only
• 10:04
  way
• 10:04
  to
• 10:04
  get
• 10:04
  on
• 10:04
  the
• 10:04
  island
• 10:05
  was
• 10:05
  by
• 10:05
  boat.
• 10:07
  The
• 10:07
  big
• 10:07
  struggle
• 10:08
  is
• 10:09
  now
• 10:09
  that
• 10:09
  everything
• 10:09
  was
• 10:10
  damaged
• 10:10
  is
• 10:11
  how
• 10:11
  do
• 10:11
  you
• 10:12
  feed
• 10:12
  and
• 10:12
  water
• 10:12
  the
• 10:13
  horses
• 10:13
  and
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  livestock?
• 10:14
  There's
• 10:14
  a
• 10:14
  lot
• 10:14
  more.
• 10:15
  A
• 10:15
  lot
• 10:15
  of
• 10:15
  livestock
• 10:15
  on
• 10:16
  the
• 10:16
  island.
• 10:17
  So
• 10:17
  we
• 10:17
  had
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  boat
• 10:18
  everything
• 10:18
  in.
• 10:19
  Horses
• 10:20
  require
• 10:20
  15
• 10:21
  gallons
• 10:21
  of
• 10:21
  water
• 10:21
  each
• 10:22
  a
• 10:22
  day,
• 10:22
  at
• 10:22
  least.
• 10:23
  So
• 10:24
  fresh
• 10:24
  water.
• 10:24
  So
• 10:25
  it.
• 10:26
  So
• 10:26
  that
• 10:26
  was
• 10:27
  her.
• 10:27
  That's
• 10:27
  how
• 10:27
  I
• 10:28
  started.
• 10:28
  The
• 10:29
  series
• 10:29
  is
• 10:30
  after
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  Hurricane.
• 10:31
  Directly
• 10:32
  after
• 10:32
  the
• 10:32
  hurricane,
• 10:33
  I
• 10:34
  started
• 10:34
  thinking
• 10:35
  about
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  children
• 10:36
  and
• 10:36
  the
• 10:36
  adults
• 10:37
  who
• 10:37
  were
• 10:37
  experiencing
• 10:38
  this
• 10:38
  because
• 10:39
  I
• 10:39
  was
• 10:39
  having
• 10:39
  a
• 10:40
  really
• 10:40
  rough
• 10:40
  time.
• 10:40
  Our
• 10:41
  house
• 10:41
  was
• 10:41
  damaged
• 10:42
  by
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  hurricane.
• 10:43
  My
• 10:44
  whole
• 10:44
  community
• 10:45
  was
• 10:45
  suffering.
• 10:46
  The
• 10:47
  horses.
• 10:47
  Bella,
• 10:48
  what
• 10:48
  she
• 10:48
  experienced
• 10:49
  just
• 10:49
  arriving.
• 10:51
  And
• 10:51
  I
• 10:51
  started
• 10:51
  thinking,
• 10:51
  how
• 10:52
  are
• 10:52
  they
• 10:52
  managing
• 10:52
  their
• 10:53
  emotions
• 10:53
  and
• 10:54
  their
• 10:54
  feelings?
• 10:55
  You're
• 10:55
  thinking
• 10:56
  of
• 10:56
  the
• 10:57
  children
• 10:58
  and
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  adults
• 10:58
  on
• 10:59
  the
• 10:59
  island?
• 11:00
  Yeah,
• 11:00
  I
• 11:00
  was
• 11:00
  thinking
• 11:00
  of
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  children
• 11:01
  and
• 11:01
  the.
• 11:01
  And
• 11:02
  the
• 11:02
  adults.
• 11:02
  I
• 11:03
  thought,
• 11:03
  how
• 11:03
  are
• 11:03
  they
• 11:04
  doing?
• 11:04
  What
• 11:04
  are
• 11:04
  they
• 11:04
  doing
• 11:05
  with
• 11:05
  this?
• 11:05
  And
• 11:05
  I
• 11:06
  know
• 11:06
  I
• 11:06
  was
• 11:06
  struggling,
• 11:08
  and
• 11:09
  I
• 11:09
  had
• 11:09
  my
• 11:10
  husband
• 11:10
  and
• 11:10
  a
• 11:10
  few
• 11:10
  other
• 11:11
  people
• 11:11
  say,
• 11:11
  you
• 11:11
  need
• 11:11
  to
• 11:11
  sit
• 11:11
  down
• 11:12
  and
• 11:12
  write.
• 11:12
  You
• 11:12
  need
• 11:12
  to
• 11:13
  write
• 11:13
  about
• 11:13
  this
• 11:13
  for
• 11:13
  the
• 11:14
  kids.
• 11:15
  So
• 11:15
  I
• 11:15
  originally
• 11:16
  sat
• 11:16
  down
• 11:17
  immediately,
• 11:17
  this
• 11:18
  was
• 11:18
  just
• 11:19
  a
• 11:19
  week
• 11:19
  after
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  hurricane.
• 11:20
  And
• 11:21
  wrote
• 11:21
  about
• 11:21
  Bella's
• 11:22
  travels
• 11:22
  from
• 11:23
  across
• 11:23
  the
• 11:23
  country.
• 11:24
  And
• 11:24
  I
• 11:25
  wanted
• 11:25
  to
• 11:25
  make
• 11:25
  it
• 11:25
  this
• 11:26
  fun.
• 11:26
  Bella
• 11:26
  came
• 11:27
  from
• 11:27
  California.
• 11:28
  Here
• 11:28
  she
• 11:28
  is,
• 11:28
  and
• 11:28
  she
• 11:29
  experiences
• 11:29
  a
• 11:29
  hurricane,
• 11:30
  and
• 11:30
  she's
• 11:30
  so
• 11:30
  resilient.
• 11:31
  And
• 11:32
  I
• 11:32
  was
• 11:32
  going
• 11:32
  on
• 11:32
  resiliency
• 11:33
  because
• 11:33
  that's
• 11:33
  really
• 11:34
  my
• 11:34
  background
• 11:35
  in
• 11:35
  the
• 11:35
  education
• 11:36
  that
• 11:36
  I
• 11:36
  have.
• 11:38
  And
• 11:38
  so
• 11:38
  I
• 11:38
  started
• 11:38
  with
• 11:39
  Bella,
• 11:39
  and
• 11:40
  of
• 11:40
  course,
• 11:40
  I
• 11:41
  never
• 11:41
  wrote
• 11:41
  a
• 11:41
  children's
• 11:42
  book
• 11:42
  before.
• 11:43
  So
• 11:43
  where
• 11:43
  do
• 11:43
  you
• 11:43
  begin?
• 11:44
  How
• 11:44
  do
• 11:44
  you
• 11:44
  start?
• 11:45
  Start,
• 11:45
  and
• 11:45
  then
• 11:46
  where
• 11:46
  do
• 11:46
  you
• 11:46
  go
• 11:47
  from
• 11:47
  there?
• 11:48
  So
• 11:49
  I
• 11:49
  began
• 11:49
  with
• 11:50
  my
• 11:51
  real
• 11:51
  life
• 11:51
  course,
• 11:52
  Bella,
• 11:53
  and
• 11:53
  I
• 11:53
  began
• 11:54
  with
• 11:54
  her
• 11:54
  experience.
• 11:55
  And
• 11:55
  I
• 11:55
  think
• 11:55
  a
• 11:55
  lot
• 11:55
  of
• 11:56
  Children's
• 11:56
  authors
• 11:57
  do
• 11:57
  connect
• 11:57
  their
• 11:58
  own
• 11:58
  experiences,
• 11:59
  something
• 11:59
  in
• 12:00
  their
• 12:00
  life
• 12:01
  that
• 12:01
  they
• 12:01
  connect.
• 12:02
  That
• 12:02
  is
• 12:02
  so
• 12:02
  true.
• 12:03
  That's
• 12:03
  very
• 12:03
  insightful
• 12:04
  because
• 12:05
  I've
• 12:05
  now
• 12:05
  interviewed
• 12:06
  over
• 12:06
  50
• 12:06
  children's
• 12:07
  book
• 12:07
  authors
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  that's
• 12:09
  what
• 12:09
  I'm
• 12:09
  finding
• 12:09
  is
• 12:10
  there's
• 12:10
  a
• 12:10
  connection
• 12:11
  somehow
• 12:12
  to
• 12:12
  either
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  person
• 12:14
  or
• 12:14
  an
• 12:14
  experience
• 12:15
  that
• 12:15
  definitely
• 12:16
  is
• 12:17
  the
• 12:17
  seed
• 12:17
  or
• 12:17
  the
• 12:18
  nugget
• 12:18
  behind
• 12:19
  what's
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  story
• 12:20
  behind
• 12:20
  this
• 12:20
  story.
• 12:21
  And
• 12:22
  for
• 12:22
  sure,
• 12:22
  and
• 12:22
  it's
• 12:23
  interesting
• 12:23
  because
• 12:23
  you're
• 12:24
  talking
• 12:24
  about
• 12:25
  horses
• 12:25
  and
• 12:26
  using
• 12:26
  horses
• 12:27
  for
• 12:27
  therapy
• 12:28
  with
• 12:28
  children.
• 12:29
  And
• 12:30
  when
• 12:30
  I
• 12:30
  was
• 12:30
  younger,
• 12:31
  my
• 12:32
  mother
• 12:32
  took
• 12:33
  my
• 12:33
  brother
• 12:33
  and
• 12:33
  I
• 12:34
  and
• 12:35
  there
• 12:36
  was
• 12:36
  a.
• 12:37
  Like
• 12:37
  a
• 12:37
  traveling
• 12:38
  photographer
• 12:39
  with
• 12:40
  a
• 12:40
  pony
• 12:41
  and
• 12:41
  they
• 12:42
  traveled
• 12:42
  around
• 12:43
  and
• 12:43
  they
• 12:43
  took
• 12:43
  pictures
• 12:44
  of
• 12:45
  children
• 12:45
  sitting
• 12:46
  on
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  pony
• 12:47
  and
• 12:47
  getting
• 12:48
  their
• 12:48
  picture
• 12:48
  taken.
• 12:49
  And
• 12:50
  I
• 12:50
  still
• 12:51
  have
• 12:51
  that
• 12:51
  picture
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  this
• 12:52
  day,
• 12:52
  but
• 12:53
  it
• 12:53
  was
• 12:53
  fascinating.
• 12:54
  I
• 12:54
  don't
• 12:55
  think
• 12:55
  the
• 12:55
  photographer
• 12:56
  was
• 12:56
  thinking
• 12:56
  about
• 12:57
  therapy
• 12:57
  at
• 12:57
  the
• 12:57
  time,
• 12:58
  but
• 12:58
  because
• 12:59
  it
• 12:59
  was
• 12:59
  a
• 12:59
  Shetland
• 13:00
  pony,
• 13:00
  quite
• 13:01
  small,
• 13:01
  it
• 13:01
  just
• 13:02
  seemed
• 13:02
  to
• 13:02
  attract
• 13:03
  a
• 13:04
  lot
• 13:04
  of
• 13:04
  people.
• 13:04
  And
• 13:04
  I
• 13:05
  even
• 13:06
  know
• 13:06
  my
• 13:06
  cousins
• 13:07
  to
• 13:08
  this
• 13:08
  day
• 13:09
  have
• 13:09
  their
• 13:10
  pictures
• 13:10
  with
• 13:11
  them
• 13:11
  on
• 13:11
  a
• 13:12
  pony
• 13:12
  and
• 13:13
  getting
• 13:13
  pictures
• 13:13
  taken
• 13:14
  at
• 13:15
  a
• 13:15
  different
• 13:15
  time.
• 13:16
  So
• 13:16
  pretty
• 13:17
  amazing.
• 13:17
  But
• 13:17
  it's
• 13:18
  interesting
• 13:18
  how
• 13:19
  horses,
• 13:20
  for
• 13:20
  whatever
• 13:21
  reason,
• 13:21
  have
• 13:22
  this
• 13:22
  attraction.
• 13:23
  So
• 13:23
  we'll
• 13:23
  definitely
• 13:24
  dig
• 13:24
  into
• 13:25
  your
• 13:25
  use
• 13:26
  of
• 13:26
  Bella.
• 13:27
  Yeah,
• 13:27
  it's
• 13:27
  so
• 13:27
  true.
• 13:28
  Horses,
• 13:28
  there's
• 13:28
  something
• 13:29
  magical
• 13:29
  about
• 13:29
  them.
• 13:30
  Right.
• 13:31
  That
• 13:31
  we're
• 13:31
  all
• 13:31
  attracted
• 13:32
  to
• 13:32
  in
• 13:32
  some
• 13:32
  bam
• 13:33
  or
• 13:33
  fashion,
• 13:33
  whether
• 13:34
  we
• 13:34
  love
• 13:34
  watching
• 13:35
  them
• 13:35
  on
• 13:35
  TV
• 13:35
  and.
• 13:36
  Or
• 13:37
  whether
• 13:37
  we
• 13:37
  connect
• 13:37
  with
• 13:37
  them
• 13:38
  in
• 13:38
  real
• 13:38
  life
• 13:39
  or
• 13:39
  just
• 13:39
  going
• 13:39
  to
• 13:39
  a
• 13:39
  farm
• 13:40
  and
• 13:40
  visiting
• 13:40
  a
• 13:41
  farm,
• 13:41
  there's
• 13:41
  just
• 13:41
  something
• 13:42
  magical
• 13:42
  about
• 13:43
  horses.
• 13:43
  Absolutely.
• 13:44
  And
• 13:45
  I
• 13:45
  know
• 13:45
  even
• 13:45
  when
• 13:46
  my
• 13:46
  first
• 13:46
  granddaughter
• 13:47
  was
• 13:48
  younger,
• 13:48
  she
• 13:49
  was
• 13:49
  probably
• 13:49
  six
• 13:50
  or
• 13:50
  seven,
• 13:51
  we
• 13:51
  actually
• 13:51
  went
• 13:52
  into
• 13:52
  the
• 13:53
  Rocky
• 13:53
  Mountains
• 13:53
  and
• 13:54
  I
• 13:54
  took
• 13:54
  her
• 13:54
  horseback
• 13:55
  riding
• 13:56
  and
• 13:56
  the
• 13:56
  horse
• 13:57
  was
• 13:57
  like
• 13:57
  10
• 13:57
  times
• 13:58
  bigger
• 13:58
  than
• 13:59
  her,
• 13:59
  but
• 14:00
  she
• 14:00
  seemed
• 14:01
  to
• 14:01
  just
• 14:01
  warm
• 14:01
  up
• 14:02
  to
• 14:02
  it
• 14:02
  and
• 14:02
  enjoy
• 14:03
  it.
• 14:03
  So
• 14:04
  whatever
• 14:04
  it
• 14:05
  is
• 14:05
  about
• 14:05
  horses,
• 14:05
  there's
• 14:06
  a
• 14:06
  real
• 14:06
  fascination
• 14:07
  and
• 14:08
  good
• 14:08
  for
• 14:08
  you.
• 14:08
  So
• 14:09
  that's
• 14:09
  what
• 14:09
  I
• 14:09
  want
• 14:10
  to
• 14:10
  dig
• 14:10
  into
• 14:10
  this
• 14:10
  a
• 14:11
  bit
• 14:11
  more.
• 14:11
  I
• 14:11
  noticed
• 14:12
  you
• 14:12
  already
• 14:13
  have
• 14:14
  all
• 14:14
  of
• 14:14
  your
• 14:14
  books
• 14:15
  in
• 14:15
  your
• 14:15
  book
• 14:15
  series
• 14:16
  listed
• 14:16
  on
• 14:16
  your
• 14:16
  website.
• 14:17
  And
• 14:17
  I
• 14:17
  have
• 14:17
  your
• 14:17
  website
• 14:18
  up
• 14:18
  on
• 14:18
  my
• 14:19
  iPad.
• 14:20
  And
• 14:21
  a
• 14:21
  lot
• 14:21
  of
• 14:21
  times,
• 14:21
  I
• 14:22
  notice
• 14:22
  with
• 14:22
  children's
• 14:23
  book
• 14:23
  authors,
• 14:25
  rarely
• 14:25
  do
• 14:25
  I
• 14:25
  have
• 14:26
  anyone
• 14:26
  say
• 14:27
  to
• 14:27
  me,
• 14:27
  it's
• 14:28
  a
• 14:28
  one
• 14:28
  and
• 14:28
  done.
• 14:30
  I
• 14:30
  had
• 14:30
  one
• 14:31
  person
• 14:31
  say,
• 14:32
  this
• 14:32
  is
• 14:32
  one
• 14:32
  and
• 14:33
  done.
• 14:33
  And
• 14:33
  then
• 14:33
  they
• 14:34
  went
• 14:34
  on
• 14:34
  later
• 14:35
  in
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  interview
• 14:36
  and
• 14:36
  revealed
• 14:37
  maybe
• 14:37
  it
• 14:37
  isn't
• 14:37
  a
• 14:38
  one
• 14:38
  and
• 14:38
  done.
• 14:39
  So
• 14:39
  it's
• 14:39
  quite
• 14:39
  interesting.
• 14:40
  But
• 14:40
  I
• 14:40
  noticed
• 14:41
  you
• 14:42
  already
• 14:42
  are
• 14:42
  promoting
• 14:44
  the
• 14:44
  next
• 14:44
  three
• 14:45
  books
• 14:45
  in
• 14:45
  your
• 14:46
  series.
• 14:46
  I'm
• 14:47
  interested
• 14:47
  in
• 14:47
  learning
• 14:48
  more
• 14:48
  about.
• 14:49
  Obviously,
• 14:50
  you've
• 14:50
  been
• 14:50
  very
• 14:50
  strategic
• 14:51
  about
• 14:51
  this.
• 14:52
  Talk
• 14:52
  to
• 14:53
  us
• 14:53
  about
• 14:54
  your
• 14:54
  business
• 14:55
  book
• 14:55
  plan,
• 14:55
  because
• 14:56
  looking
• 14:56
  at
• 14:56
  your
• 14:56
  website,
• 14:57
  looking
• 14:57
  at
• 14:58
  your
• 14:58
  next
• 14:58
  set
• 14:59
  of
• 14:59
  books
• 14:59
  coming
• 14:59
  out,
• 15:00
  explain
• 15:00
  how
• 15:01
  you
• 15:01
  developed
• 15:01
  all
• 15:02
  that.
• 15:03
  Yeah.
• 15:03
  Thank
• 15:04
  you.
• 15:04
  So
• 15:05
  I
• 15:05
  have
• 15:06
  four
• 15:06
  books.
• 15:07
  So
• 15:07
  the
• 15:07
  series
• 15:08
  is
• 15:08
  called
• 15:08
  Bella
• 15:09
  and
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  Emotion
• 15:10
  Explorers.
• 15:12
  And
• 15:12
  just
• 15:12
  for
• 15:13
  Bird,
• 15:13
  Bird
• 15:13
  is
• 15:14
  a
• 15:14
  real
• 15:14
  life
• 15:14
  bird.
• 15:15
  I
• 15:15
  came
• 15:16
  up
• 15:16
  with
• 15:16
  Bird,
• 15:16
  the
• 15:17
  character
• 15:17
  because
• 15:17
  of
• 15:18
  the
• 15:18
  barn
• 15:18
  swallows
• 15:20
  that
• 15:20
  make
• 15:20
  nests
• 15:21
  in
• 15:21
  Bella's
• 15:22
  stall.
• 15:22
  And
• 15:23
  they
• 15:23
  use
• 15:23
  her
• 15:23
  hair.
• 15:24
  She
• 15:24
  has
• 15:24
  long,
• 15:24
  beautiful
• 15:25
  hair
• 15:25
  because
• 15:25
  she's
• 15:26
  a
• 15:26
  gypsy
• 15:26
  banner.
• 15:27
  And
• 15:28
  I
• 15:28
  needed
• 15:29
  a
• 15:29
  character,
• 15:29
  so
• 15:29
  I
• 15:30
  had
• 15:30
  Bella
• 15:30
  the
• 15:30
  character,
• 15:31
  right?
• 15:31
  The
• 15:31
  wise
• 15:31
  therapy
• 15:32
  horse
• 15:32
  or
• 15:32
  therapist
• 15:33
  acts
• 15:34
  as
• 15:34
  the
• 15:34
  therapist
• 15:34
  in
• 15:34
  my
• 15:35
  books.
• 15:35
  I
• 15:36
  needed
• 15:36
  another
• 15:36
  character
• 15:37
  who
• 15:37
  brought
• 15:37
  in
• 15:37
  some
• 15:37
  humor
• 15:38
  because
• 15:38
  I
• 15:38
  feel
• 15:39
  when
• 15:39
  you
• 15:39
  write
• 15:39
  children's
• 15:40
  books,
• 15:40
  you
• 15:40
  always
• 15:40
  need
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  humor.
• 15:41
  You
• 15:41
  have
• 15:41
  to
• 15:42
  keep
• 15:42
  their
• 15:42
  attention.
• 15:43
  You
• 15:43
  need
• 15:43
  humor,
• 15:44
  and
• 15:44
  we
• 15:44
  all
• 15:44
  need
• 15:45
  humor
• 15:45
  no
• 15:45
  matter
• 15:45
  what
• 15:45
  the
• 15:46
  topic.
• 15:46
  And
• 15:46
  my
• 15:46
  topic
• 15:47
  is
• 15:47
  a
• 15:47
  very
• 15:47
  heavy
• 15:48
  topic,
• 15:48
  right.
• 15:49
  And
• 15:49
  so
• 15:50
  I
• 15:50
  needed
• 15:50
  the
• 15:50
  humor.
• 15:51
  And
• 15:51
  I
• 15:51
  thought,
• 15:51
  Bella
• 15:51
  and
• 15:52
  I
• 15:52
  used
• 15:52
  to.
• 15:52
  I
• 15:52
  go
• 15:53
  into
• 15:53
  the
• 15:53
  stall,
• 15:53
  I
• 15:53
  still
• 15:54
  say,
• 15:54
  hey,
• 15:54
  Bird.
• 15:54
  Hey,
• 15:55
  Bird.
• 15:56
  So
• 15:56
  I
• 15:56
  thought,
• 15:57
  bird,
• 15:57
  it's
• 15:57
  Bella
• 15:58
  and
• 15:58
  Bird,
• 15:58
  that's
• 15:59
  Bella's
• 15:59
  sidekick,
• 16:00
  Bella,
• 16:00
  He's
• 16:01
  a
• 16:01
  wisecracker.
• 16:02
  He
• 16:02
  makes
• 16:03
  his
• 16:03
  nest
• 16:03
  with
• 16:03
  her
• 16:04
  hair.
• 16:04
  So
• 16:04
  that's
• 16:05
  how
• 16:05
  I
• 16:05
  created
• 16:06
  Bella
• 16:06
  from
• 16:06
  my
• 16:06
  horse
• 16:07
  and
• 16:07
  then
• 16:07
  Bird,
• 16:08
  her
• 16:08
  little
• 16:08
  wisecracking
• 16:09
  sidekick.
• 16:10
  And
• 16:10
  so
• 16:10
  I
• 16:11
  came
• 16:11
  up
• 16:11
  with
• 16:11
  Bella
• 16:11
  and
• 16:11
  Bird.
• 16:12
  And
• 16:12
  then
• 16:13
  I
• 16:13
  needed
• 16:13
  to
• 16:14
  parse
• 16:15
  down,
• 16:16
  okay,
• 16:16
  my
• 16:16
  first
• 16:17
  writing
• 16:17
  of
• 16:18
  what
• 16:18
  I
• 16:18
  created
• 16:19
  in
• 16:19
  my
• 16:19
  mind,
• 16:20
  and
• 16:20
  Bella's
• 16:21
  story,
• 16:21
  and
• 16:22
  her
• 16:22
  story
• 16:22
  was
• 16:22
  about
• 16:23
  her
• 16:23
  coming
• 16:23
  across
• 16:23
  the
• 16:24
  country.
• 16:25
  Where
• 16:25
  do
• 16:25
  you
• 16:25
  go
• 16:26
  with
• 16:26
  that?
• 16:26
  First
• 16:26
  of
• 16:26
  all,
• 16:26
  I
• 16:27
  happen
• 16:27
  to
• 16:27
  be
• 16:27
  on
• 16:27
  Facebook
• 16:27
  one
• 16:28
  day
• 16:28
  and
• 16:28
  I'm
• 16:29
  scrolling,
• 16:29
  and
• 16:30
  I
• 16:30
  actually
• 16:31
  see
• 16:31
  a
• 16:31
  children's
• 16:32
  book
• 16:33
  with
• 16:33
  a
• 16:34
  horse
• 16:34
  and
• 16:35
  a
• 16:35
  plushie.
• 16:35
  And
• 16:36
  that's
• 16:36
  what
• 16:36
  I've
• 16:36
  had
• 16:36
  in
• 16:36
  my
• 16:37
  mind.
• 16:37
  Like,
• 16:38
  I
• 16:38
  had.
• 16:38
  This
• 16:39
  is
• 16:39
  what
• 16:39
  I
• 16:39
  want.
• 16:39
  I
• 16:39
  want
• 16:39
  to
• 16:40
  do
• 16:40
  a
• 16:40
  children's
• 16:40
  book
• 16:40
  and
• 16:41
  then
• 16:41
  do
• 16:41
  a
• 16:41
  plushie
• 16:41
  with
• 16:42
  Bella
• 16:42
  and
• 16:42
  Bird.
• 16:43
  And
• 16:43
  I
• 16:44
  thought,
• 16:44
  oh,
• 16:44
  my
• 16:44
  gosh,
• 16:44
  that's
• 16:45
  exactly
• 16:45
  what
• 16:45
  I
• 16:45
  want
• 16:45
  to
• 16:46
  do.
• 16:46
  So
• 16:47
  I
• 16:47
  clicked
• 16:47
  on
• 16:48
  the
• 16:48
  sponsored.
• 16:49
  It
• 16:49
  was
• 16:49
  a
• 16:49
  sponsored
• 16:50
  link.
• 16:50
  And
• 16:51
  I
• 16:52
  looked
• 16:52
  at
• 16:52
  the
• 16:52
  website.
• 16:53
  You
• 16:53
  mentioned
• 16:53
  the
• 16:53
  website,
• 16:54
  right?
• 16:54
  And
• 16:54
  it
• 16:54
  was
• 16:55
  so
• 16:55
  cute.
• 16:55
  The
• 16:55
  website
• 16:55
  was
• 16:56
  really
• 16:56
  cute.
• 16:56
  I'm
• 16:56
  like,
• 16:56
  oh,
• 16:57
  I
• 16:57
  need
• 16:57
  a
• 16:57
  website,
• 16:58
  too.
• 16:59
  And
• 16:59
  I
• 16:59
  said,
• 16:59
  I'm
• 17:00
  going
• 17:00
  to
• 17:00
  reach
• 17:00
  out.
• 17:00
  I'm
• 17:01
  going
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  find
• 17:01
  out
• 17:01
  who
• 17:01
  this
• 17:01
  person
• 17:02
  is,
• 17:02
  and
• 17:02
  I'm
• 17:03
  going
• 17:03
  to
• 17:03
  call
• 17:03
  her.
• 17:04
  And
• 17:04
  so
• 17:04
  I
• 17:04
  researched
• 17:05
  her.
• 17:05
  She.
• 17:06
  And
• 17:06
  I
• 17:06
  found
• 17:06
  her
• 17:07
  phone
• 17:07
  number,
• 17:07
  and
• 17:07
  I
• 17:07
  called
• 17:08
  her.
• 17:08
  I
• 17:08
  took
• 17:08
  a
• 17:09
  chance.
• 17:10
  Good
• 17:10
  for
• 17:10
  you.
• 17:10
  And
• 17:11
  I
• 17:11
  said,
• 17:11
  let
• 17:11
  me
• 17:11
  take
• 17:12
  this
• 17:12
  chance.
• 17:12
  And
• 17:12
  my
• 17:13
  gut
• 17:13
  was
• 17:13
  telling
• 17:13
  me,
• 17:13
  just
• 17:14
  do
• 17:14
  it.
• 17:14
  Just
• 17:14
  call.
• 17:15
  And
• 17:15
  if
• 17:15
  she
• 17:15
  doesn't,
• 17:15
  call
• 17:16
  me
• 17:16
  back.
• 17:16
  Okay,
• 17:17
  I
• 17:17
  tried.
• 17:17
  You
• 17:17
  still
• 17:18
  tried.
• 17:19
  So
• 17:19
  I
• 17:19
  called
• 17:20
  Kathy.
• 17:20
  Her
• 17:20
  name
• 17:20
  is
• 17:21
  Kathy.
• 17:21
  And
• 17:22
  she
• 17:22
  actually
• 17:23
  called
• 17:23
  me
• 17:23
  back.
• 17:23
  And
• 17:23
  we
• 17:24
  were
• 17:24
  on
• 17:24
  the
• 17:24
  phone
• 17:24
  for
• 17:24
  a
• 17:24
  few
• 17:25
  hours,
• 17:25
  and
• 17:25
  she
• 17:26
  was
• 17:26
  a
• 17:26
  plethora
• 17:27
  of
• 17:27
  information.
• 17:28
  She
• 17:28
  also
• 17:29
  has
• 17:29
  a
• 17:29
  children's
• 17:29
  book
• 17:30
  series.
• 17:31
  So
• 17:31
  I
• 17:31
  was
• 17:32
  so
• 17:32
  grateful.
• 17:33
  It
• 17:33
  was
• 17:33
  like,
• 17:33
  that
• 17:34
  was
• 17:34
  like
• 17:34
  that
• 17:34
  little
• 17:34
  nugget.
• 17:35
  You
• 17:35
  said
• 17:35
  that,
• 17:36
  okay,
• 17:36
  I'm
• 17:36
  on
• 17:36
  the
• 17:37
  right
• 17:37
  path.
• 17:38
  I'm
• 17:38
  on
• 17:38
  the
• 17:38
  right
• 17:38
  path.
• 17:39
  Because
• 17:39
  she
• 17:40
  shared
• 17:40
  a
• 17:40
  lot
• 17:41
  of
• 17:41
  info
• 17:41
  that
• 17:41
  I
• 17:41
  needed
• 17:42
  to
• 17:42
  hear,
• 17:42
  and
• 17:43
  she
• 17:43
  gave
• 17:43
  me
• 17:43
  that
• 17:44
  little
• 17:44
  inspiration
• 17:44
  I
• 17:44
  needed
• 17:45
  at
• 17:45
  the
• 17:45
  time.
• 17:45
  Because
• 17:46
  you
• 17:46
  can
• 17:46
  feel
• 17:46
  very
• 17:46
  lost
• 17:47
  in
• 17:47
  this
• 17:47
  whole
• 17:47
  world
• 17:48
  of
• 17:48
  children's
• 17:48
  books.
• 17:49
  Absolutely.
• 17:50
  It's
• 17:51
  interesting
• 17:51
  you
• 17:51
  should
• 17:51
  say
• 17:52
  that,
• 17:52
  because
• 17:52
  that's
• 17:53
  how
• 17:53
  we
• 17:53
  started.
• 17:54
  We
• 17:54
  actually
• 17:55
  our
• 17:56
  book
• 17:56
  series
• 17:57
  called
• 17:57
  the
• 17:57
  Adventures
• 17:58
  of
• 17:58
  Caboose
• 17:58
  the
• 17:59
  Rocky
• 17:59
  Mountain
• 17:59
  Bear.
• 18:01
  Cuny's
• 18:01
  behind
• 18:01
  you.
• 18:02
  Yeah.
• 18:03
  And
• 18:03
  so
• 18:03
  what
• 18:03
  ended
• 18:04
  up
• 18:04
  happening
• 18:05
  is
• 18:05
  Caboose
• 18:06
  actually
• 18:07
  has
• 18:08
  a
• 18:08
  K
• 18:08
  in
• 18:08
  it,
• 18:09
  not
• 18:09
  a
• 18:09
  C.
• 18:10
  And
• 18:11
  that
• 18:11
  actually
• 18:11
  stands
• 18:12
  for
• 18:12
  Kira,
• 18:13
  which
• 18:13
  is
• 18:14
  my
• 18:14
  oldest
• 18:15
  granddaughter,
• 18:15
  and
• 18:16
  she's
• 18:16
  the
• 18:16
  co
• 18:16
  author
• 18:17
  of
• 18:17
  this
• 18:17
  book.
• 18:18
  And
• 18:18
  it's
• 18:19
  interesting
• 18:19
  you
• 18:19
  should
• 18:19
  talk
• 18:20
  about
• 18:20
  a
• 18:20
  plushie,
• 18:21
  because
• 18:21
  you
• 18:21
  know
• 18:21
  what?
• 18:22
  Who
• 18:22
  doesn't
• 18:22
  have
• 18:22
  a
• 18:23
  teddy
• 18:23
  bear?
• 18:24
  Our
• 18:24
  retailer
• 18:25
  said,
• 18:25
  you
• 18:25
  know
• 18:25
  what,
• 18:25
  Rick?
• 18:26
  You
• 18:26
  should
• 18:26
  have
• 18:27
  a
• 18:27
  plushie.
• 18:27
  Because
• 18:28
  every
• 18:28
  time
• 18:29
  we
• 18:29
  bring
• 18:29
  in
• 18:30
  children's
• 18:30
  books
• 18:31
  and
• 18:31
  they
• 18:31
  have
• 18:32
  a
• 18:32
  plushie
• 18:33
  that
• 18:33
  goes
• 18:33
  along
• 18:33
  with
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  book
• 18:35
  we
• 18:35
  sell,
• 18:35
  we
• 18:35
  definitely
• 18:36
  sell
• 18:36
  more
• 18:36
  books
• 18:37
  and
• 18:37
  plushies.
• 18:38
  They
• 18:38
  said,
• 18:38
  you
• 18:38
  should
• 18:38
  develop
• 18:39
  one.
• 18:39
  We
• 18:40
  actually
• 18:40
  have
• 18:40
  a
• 18:40
  plushie
• 18:41
  in
• 18:41
  the
• 18:41
  background
• 18:42
  now.
• 18:42
  That's
• 18:42
  our
• 18:42
  prototype.
• 18:43
  And
• 18:43
  then
• 18:43
  what
• 18:43
  we
• 18:44
  did
• 18:44
  is
• 18:45
  we
• 18:45
  actually
• 18:46
  created
• 18:49
  our
• 18:49

  Is

  store
• 18:55
  that
• 18:55
  gave
• 18:55
  us
• 18:55
  the
• 18:55
  original
• 18:56
  idea.
• 18:57
  So

  I
• 18:57
  can
• 18:57
  see
• 18:58
  your
• 18:58
  fascination

• 18:59
  And
• 19:00
  it.
• 19:00
  If
• 19:00
  it
• 19:00
  wasn't
• 19:01
  for
• 19:02
  one
• 19:02
  of
• 19:02
  my
• 19:02

  had

  a
• 19:10
  hard
• 19:10
  time
• 19:10
  figuring
• 19:11
  out
• 19:11
  how
• 19:11
  to
• 19:11
  do
• 19:11
  that.
• 19:12
  So
• 19:12
  it's
• 19:13
  interesting
• 19:14
  how
• 19:14
  if
• 19:14
  you
• 19:14
  take
• 19:15
  a
• 19:15
  chance,
• 19:16
  people
• 19:16
  like
• 19:16
  you
• 19:17
  said
• 19:17
  Dina
• 19:17
  will
• 19:18
  share.
• 19:19
  And
• 19:19
  that's
• 19:20
  what
• 19:20
  I'm
• 19:20
  finding
• 19:20
  about
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  whole
• 19:22
  children's
• 19:22
  book
• 19:23
  author
• 19:23
  community.
• 19:24
  They're
• 19:24
  so
• 19:25
  generous.
• 19:26
  So
• 19:26
  thank
• 19:27
  you
• 19:27
  for
• 19:27
  sharing
• 19:27
  that.
• 19:28
  And
• 19:28
  I
• 19:28
  hope
• 19:28
  that
• 19:28
  inspires
• 19:29
  people
• 19:29
  to
• 19:30
  realize
• 19:30
  that
• 19:31
  don't
• 19:31
  think
• 19:31
  you're
• 19:32
  stuck
• 19:32
  in
• 19:32
  your
• 19:32
  own
• 19:32
  little
• 19:33
  world.
• 19:33
  If
• 19:34
  you
• 19:34
  reach
• 19:34
  out
• 19:34
  and
• 19:35
  talk
• 19:35
  to
• 19:35
  other
• 19:35
  children's
• 19:36
  book
• 19:36
  authors,
• 19:37
  you'll
• 19:37
  be
• 19:37
  pleasantly
• 19:38
  surprised
• 19:39
  at
• 19:39
  how
• 19:39
  generous
• 19:40
  they
• 19:40
  are
• 19:41
  to
• 19:41
  share
• 19:41
  their
• 19:42
  story.
• 19:42
  And
• 19:43
  that's
• 19:43
  part
• 19:43
  of
• 19:44
  what
• 19:44
  I
• 19:44
  think
• 19:44
  is
• 19:45
  the
• 19:45
  attraction
• 19:45
  to
• 19:45
  our
• 19:46
  podcast
• 19:46
  show
• 19:47
  is
• 19:47
  getting
• 19:47
  children's
• 19:48
  book
• 19:48
  authors
• 19:48
  to
• 19:49
  share
• 19:49
  their
• 19:49
  story.
• 19:50
  Yeah.
• 19:51
  So
• 19:51
  I
• 19:51
  contacted
• 19:52
  her.
• 19:52
  It's
• 19:52
  so
• 19:53
  true.
• 19:53
  And
• 19:53
  I
• 19:53
  was
• 19:53
  like,
• 19:53
  let
• 19:54
  me
• 19:54
  just
• 19:54
  take
• 19:54
  this
• 19:54
  chance.
• 19:55
  And
• 19:55
  one
• 19:56
  thing
• 19:56
  that
• 19:56
  she
• 19:56
  said
• 19:56
  That
• 19:57
  I
• 19:57
  needed
• 19:57
  to
• 19:57
  know
• 19:57
  and
• 19:58
  understand
• 19:58
  too
• 19:59
  is
• 19:59
  she
• 20:00
  said,
• 20:00
  you
• 20:00
  need
• 20:00
  an
• 20:00
  editor.
• 20:02
  And
• 20:03
  I
• 20:03
  was
• 20:03
  like,
• 20:03
  okay,
• 20:04
  yes,
• 20:04
  I
• 20:04
  need
• 20:04
  an
• 20:04
  editor.
• 20:05
  Where
• 20:05
  do
• 20:05
  I
• 20:05
  find
• 20:05
  an
• 20:06
  editor?
• 20:06
  There's
• 20:06
  so
• 20:07
  many
• 20:07
  out
• 20:07
  there.
• 20:07
  Yes.
• 20:08
  And
• 20:08
  so
• 20:09
  she
• 20:09
  said,
• 20:09
  I
• 20:09
  have
• 20:10
  an
• 20:10
  editor.
• 20:10
  You
• 20:10
  can
• 20:11
  contact
• 20:11
  her.
• 20:11
  She
• 20:12
  does
• 20:12
  pick
• 20:12
  up
• 20:13
  people.
• 20:13
  She
• 20:13
  was
• 20:14
  been
• 20:14
  in
• 20:14
  a
• 20:14
  children's
• 20:15
  editing
• 20:16
  business
• 20:17
  for
• 20:17
  30
• 20:17
  years.
• 20:18
  And
• 20:19
  so
• 20:19
  she
• 20:19
  gave
• 20:20
  me
• 20:20
  her
• 20:20
  name
• 20:20
  and
• 20:20
  number
• 20:21
  and
• 20:21
  I
• 20:21
  contacted
• 20:22
  her.
• 20:23
  She's
• 20:23
  with
• 20:23
  Picture
• 20:24
  Book
• 20:24
  People.
• 20:25
  So
• 20:25
  Simone
• 20:26
  Kaplan.
• 20:26
  She's
• 20:27
  with
• 20:27
  Picture
• 20:27
  Book
• 20:28
  People.
• 20:28
  Anyone
• 20:29
  in
• 20:29
  the
• 20:29
  audience
• 20:29
  that
• 20:29
  needs
• 20:30
  an
• 20:30
  editor
• 20:30
  or
• 20:31
  wants
• 20:31
  to
• 20:31
  just
• 20:31
  explore
• 20:32
  that
• 20:32
  avenue.
• 20:33
  And
• 20:34
  so
• 20:34
  that
• 20:34
  was
• 20:34
  fantastic
• 20:35
  because
• 20:35
  I
• 20:36
  called
• 20:36
  her
• 20:36
  and
• 20:37
  she
• 20:38
  that
• 20:38
  was
• 20:38
  now
• 20:38
  the
• 20:38
  next
• 20:40
  step
• 20:40
  down
• 20:40
  the
• 20:40
  road.
• 20:41
  So
• 20:41
  I
• 20:42
  contacted
• 20:43
  her
• 20:43
  and
• 20:43
  through
• 20:43
  our
• 20:44
  conversation
• 20:44
  together
• 20:45
  she
• 20:45
  said,
• 20:46
  I
• 20:47
  love
• 20:47
  the
• 20:47
  story,
• 20:48
  but
• 20:48
  I
• 20:49
  think
• 20:49
  you
• 20:49
  need
• 20:49
  to
• 20:49
  separate
• 20:50
  out
• 20:50
  all
• 20:51
  these
• 20:51
  emotions
• 20:52
  and
• 20:53
  not
• 20:53
  do
• 20:53
  Bella's
• 20:54
  story,
• 20:55
  but
• 20:56
  do
• 20:56
  the
• 20:57
  core
• 20:57
  emotions.
• 20:58
  There's
• 20:58
  six
• 20:58
  core
• 20:59
  emotions,
• 20:59
  but
• 21:00
  I
• 21:00
  started
• 21:00
  with
• 21:00
  four
• 21:01
  and
• 21:02
  do
• 21:02
  a
• 21:02
  single
• 21:03
  story
• 21:03
  each.
• 21:03
  So
• 21:04
  parse
• 21:04
  down
• 21:05
  your
• 21:05
  storyline
• 21:06
  and
• 21:07
  do
• 21:07
  one
• 21:07
  emotion,
• 21:08
  whatever
• 21:08
  one
• 21:08
  you
• 21:09
  want
• 21:09
  to
• 21:09
  start
• 21:09
  with
• 21:10
  and
• 21:11
  develop
• 21:11
  a
• 21:11
  character.
• 21:13
  And
• 21:13
  so
• 21:13
  that
• 21:13
  was
• 21:14
  great
• 21:14
  advice.
• 21:14
  So
• 21:15
  I
• 21:15
  went
• 21:15
  back
• 21:15
  to
• 21:16
  my
• 21:16
  writing
• 21:18
  and
• 21:18
  I
• 21:18
  decided
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  do
• 21:19
  anger.
• 21:20
  First
• 21:20
  I
• 21:21
  just
• 21:21
  felt
• 21:21
  like
• 21:21
  the
• 21:22
  world
• 21:22
  was
• 21:22
  very
• 21:22
  angry
• 21:23
  in
• 21:23
  2022
• 21:24
  coming
• 21:25
  out
• 21:25
  of
• 21:25
  COVID
• 21:26
  Exactly.
• 21:27
  So
• 21:27
  I
• 21:27
  felt
• 21:27
  like
• 21:28
  it
• 21:28
  was
• 21:28
  a
• 21:28
  good
• 21:29
  one.
• 21:29
  I
• 21:29
  didn't
• 21:29
  want
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  start
• 21:30
  with
• 21:30
  happiness,
• 21:30
  even
• 21:31
  though
• 21:31
  I
• 21:31
  written
• 21:31
  Happiness
• 21:32
  and
• 21:32
  it's
• 21:32
  such
• 21:32
  a
• 21:33
  fun
• 21:33
  book.
• 21:33
  But
• 21:33
  I
• 21:34
  was
• 21:34
  like
• 21:34
  anger
• 21:35
  and
• 21:35
  also
• 21:35
  anger.
• 21:36
  There's
• 21:37
  so
• 21:37
  many
• 21:37
  bad
• 21:38
  ideas
• 21:39
  behind
• 21:39
  anger.
• 21:40
  And
• 21:40
  it's
• 21:41
  not
• 21:41
  a
• 21:41
  bad
• 21:42
  emotion,
• 21:43
  it's
• 21:43
  just
• 21:43
  how
• 21:43
  you
• 21:43
  react.
• 21:44
  There's
• 21:45
  no
• 21:45
  bad
• 21:45
  emotion.
• 21:46
  So
• 21:47
  it's
• 21:47
  just
• 21:47
  how
• 21:47
  you're
• 21:47
  the
• 21:48
  behaviors
• 21:48
  behind
• 21:48
  that.
• 21:48
  So
• 21:49
  I
• 21:49
  started
• 21:49
  with
• 21:49
  anger
• 21:50
  and
• 21:50
  I
• 21:50
  created
• 21:50
  my
• 21:51
  8
• 21:51
  year
• 21:51
  old.
• 21:51
  I
• 21:51
  decided
• 21:52
  now
• 21:52
  here's
• 21:52
  another
• 21:52
  thing.
• 21:53
  When
• 21:53
  you
• 21:53
  decide
• 21:54
  you
• 21:54
  have
• 21:54
  to
• 21:54
  decide
• 21:54
  your
• 21:55
  the
• 21:55
  age
• 21:55
  group
• 21:55
  for
• 21:56
  your
• 21:56
  books.
• 21:56
  And
• 21:57
  then
• 21:57
  I
• 21:57
  needed
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  determine
• 21:59
  what
• 21:59
  age
• 21:59
  did
• 21:59
  I
• 22:00
  want
• 22:00
  my
• 22:00
  characters
• 22:00
  to
• 22:01
  be.
• 22:01
  And
• 22:01
  I
• 22:01
  decided
• 22:02
  like
• 22:03
  mine
• 22:03
  are
• 22:03
  for
• 22:03
  five
• 22:03
  to
• 22:04
  ten
• 22:04
  year
• 22:04
  olds.
• 22:04
  My
• 22:05
  main
• 22:05
  target
• 22:05
  audience
• 22:05
  is
• 22:06
  second
• 22:06
  third
• 22:06
  graders.
• 22:07
  So
• 22:07
  an
• 22:07
  eight
• 22:07
  year
• 22:07
  old.
• 22:08
  And
• 22:08
  so
• 22:08
  I
• 22:08
  went
• 22:09
  with
• 22:09
  a
• 22:09
  little
• 22:09
  boy
• 22:09
  named
• 22:09
  Henry.
• 22:10
  I
• 22:10
  just
• 22:10
  pictured
• 22:11
  that
• 22:11
  was
• 22:11
  the
• 22:11
  first
• 22:11
  thing
• 22:12
  that
• 22:12
  came
• 22:12
  to
• 22:12
  my
• 22:12
  mind
• 22:13
  was
• 22:13
  a
• 22:13
  little
• 22:13
  boy
• 22:14
  angry
• 22:15
  with
• 22:15
  his
• 22:15
  name
• 22:15
  Henry.
• 22:17
  And
• 22:18
  so
• 22:18
  that's
• 22:18
  how
• 22:18
  I
• 22:19
  started
• 22:19
  the
• 22:19
  first
• 22:19
  book
• 22:20
  in
• 22:20
  the
• 22:20
  series,
• 22:20
  which
• 22:21
  is
• 22:21
  Bella
• 22:21
  and
• 22:21
  Bird
• 22:22
  Explore
• 22:23
  Anger.
• 22:23
  Before
• 22:24
  we
• 22:24
  get
• 22:25
  too
• 22:25
  far
• 22:25
  into
• 22:25
  it
• 22:25
  is
• 22:26
  I
• 22:26
  noticed
• 22:27
  in
• 22:27
  your

  book
• 22:28
  offerings
• 22:29
  that
• 22:29
  you
• 22:29
  have
• 22:30
  a.
• 22:30
  Is
• 22:30
  it
• 22:31
  hardcover
• 22:31
  only?
• 22:32
  Yes,
• 22:33
  it
• 22:33
  is
• 22:33
  hardcover
• 22:34
  only.
• 22:34
  I
• 22:35
  also
• 22:35
  just
• 22:35
  did
• 22:36
  an
• 22:36
  ebook
• 22:36
  and
• 22:37
  ebooks
• 22:37
  that'll
• 22:38
  be
• 22:38
  available
• 22:38
  through
• 22:38
  Amazon.
• 22:40
  Okay.
• 22:40
  And
• 22:40
  your
• 22:41
  hardcover
• 22:41
  you're
• 22:42
  using
• 22:43
  are
• 22:43
  you
• 22:43
  using
• 22:44
  Amazon
• 22:45
  as
• 22:45
  a
• 22:45
  distributor
• 22:46
  of
• 22:46
  your
• 22:46
  hardcover?
• 22:47
  No.
• 22:47
  What's
• 22:48
  the
• 22:48
  good
• 22:48
  news
• 22:48
  is
• 22:48
  just
• 22:49
  recently,
• 22:49
  and
• 22:50
  this
• 22:50
  is
• 22:50
  probably
• 22:50
  a
• 22:51
  whole
• 22:51
  nother
• 22:51
  topic,
• 22:52
  because
• 22:52
  this
• 22:52
  is
• 22:52
  so
• 22:53
  important
• 22:53
  to
• 22:53
  know
• 22:53
  as
• 22:54
  a
• 22:54
  children's
• 22:55
  book
• 22:55
  author,
• 22:55
  is
• 22:56
  I
• 22:57
  just
• 22:57
  was
• 22:58
  asked
• 22:58
  to
• 22:59
  do
• 22:59
  distributorship
• 23:00
  and
• 23:00
  you
• 23:01
  probably
• 23:01
  are
• 23:01
  familiar
• 23:02
  with
• 23:02
  distributorship
• 23:03
  and
• 23:03
  getting
• 23:03
  into
• 23:04
  a
• 23:04
  distributor.
• 23:05
  Because
• 23:05
  I'm
• 23:05
  an
• 23:06
  indie
• 23:06
  author,
• 23:07
  so
• 23:07
  I
• 23:07
  could
• 23:08
  have
• 23:08
  gone
• 23:09
  with
• 23:09
  traditional
• 23:10
  and
• 23:11
  we're
• 23:11
  going
• 23:11
  to
• 23:11
  go
• 23:11
  down
• 23:12
  that
• 23:12
  road.
• 23:12
  My
• 23:13
  editor
• 23:13
  and
• 23:13
  I
• 23:14
  were
• 23:14
  talking
• 23:14
  about
• 23:15
  traditional
• 23:15
  and
• 23:15
  we
• 23:15
  did
• 23:16
  contact
• 23:16
  somebody
• 23:17
  and
• 23:17
  then
• 23:17
  I
• 23:17
  decided,
• 23:18
  I
• 23:18
  think
• 23:19
  I
• 23:19
  want
• 23:19
  to
• 23:19
  do
• 23:19
  indie
• 23:20
  because
• 23:20
  this
• 23:20
  is
• 23:20
  a
• 23:21
  brand.
• 23:21
  I
• 23:21
  was
• 23:21
  creating
• 23:22
  a
• 23:22
  brand.
• 23:23
  Yes.
• 23:23
  And
• 23:23
  I
• 23:24
  just
• 23:24
  want
• 23:24
  to
• 23:24
  explain
• 23:24
  to
• 23:25
  our
• 23:25
  audience
• 23:27
  the
• 23:27
  difference
• 23:28
  between
• 23:28
  self
• 23:29
  publishing
• 23:30
  and
• 23:30
  independent
• 23:31
  publishing.
• 23:32
  Just
• 23:32
  so
• 23:32
  everybody
• 23:32
  knows.
• 23:33
  And,
• 23:33
  and
• 23:33
  we're
• 23:33
  independent
• 23:34
  publishers
• 23:35
  because
• 23:35
  we
• 23:35
  set
• 23:35
  up
• 23:35
  our
• 23:36
  own
• 23:36
  publishing
• 23:37
  company.
• 23:38
  And
• 23:38
  that
• 23:39
  sounds
• 23:39
  to
• 23:40
  me
• 23:40
  you
• 23:40
  know
• 23:41
  exactly
• 23:41
  what
• 23:42
  you've
• 23:42
  done.
• 23:42
  You
• 23:43
  are
• 23:43
  not
• 23:44
  self
• 23:44
  publishing,
• 23:44
  which
• 23:45
  means
• 23:45
  you're
• 23:45
  not
• 23:45
  using
• 23:46
  a
• 23:46
  third
• 23:46
  party
• 23:47
  publisher
• 23:48
  to
• 23:49
  do
• 23:49
  all
• 23:49
  the
• 23:49
  work.
• 23:50
  You're
• 23:50
  actually
• 23:51
  an
• 23:51
  indie
• 23:52
  publisher
• 23:52
  and
• 23:53
  you're
• 23:53
  doing
• 23:53
  all
• 23:53
  the
• 23:54
  work.
• 23:54
  Is
• 23:54
  that
• 23:55
  correct?
• 23:55
  That's
• 23:55
  right.
• 23:56
  That's
• 23:56
  correct.
• 23:56
  Yep.
• 23:57
  Explain
• 23:58
  this
• 23:58
  distribution
• 24:00
  part
• 24:00
  of
• 24:00
  how
• 24:01
  you're
• 24:01
  going
• 24:01
  to
• 24:01
  build
• 24:01
  out
• 24:02
  your
• 24:02
  business.
• 24:03
  Yes.
• 24:04
  So
• 24:05
  if
• 24:05
  you
• 24:05
  start
• 24:05
  out
• 24:06
  as
• 24:06
  a
• 24:06
  children's
• 24:06
  author,
• 24:06
  you,
• 24:07
  your
• 24:07
  goal
• 24:08
  wants
• 24:08
  to
• 24:08
  be
• 24:09
  to
• 24:09
  have
• 24:09
  a
• 24:10
  distributor
• 24:10
  to
• 24:10
  pick
• 24:10
  you
• 24:11
  up.
• 24:11
  A
• 24:12
  distributor.
• 24:12
  And
• 24:13
  the
• 24:13
  word
• 24:13
  distributor
• 24:14
  is
• 24:14
  very
• 24:15
  difficult
• 24:15
  to
• 24:15
  understand
• 24:16
  because
• 24:16
  people
• 24:16
  use
• 24:17
  it
• 24:17
  in
• 24:17
  different
• 24:17
  ways.
• 24:18
  The
• 24:18
  same
• 24:18
  word
• 24:18
  in
• 24:19
  different
• 24:19
  ways.
• 24:19
  Yes.
• 24:20
  So
• 24:21
  you
• 24:21
  can
• 24:22
  be
• 24:23
  an
• 24:23
  independent
• 24:24
  author
• 24:25
  and
• 24:25
  you
• 24:26
  can
• 24:26
  go
• 24:26
  through
• 24:26
  ingramsparks
• 24:27
  as
• 24:27
  one
• 24:27
  of
• 24:27
  the
• 24:28
  print
• 24:28
  on
• 24:29
  demand
• 24:30
  that
• 24:30
  you
• 24:30
  can
• 24:32
  get
• 24:32
  your
• 24:32
  book
• 24:32
  printed
• 24:33
  on
• 24:33
  demand.
• 24:33
  Correct.
• 24:34
  Okay.
• 24:35
  My
• 24:35
  book
• 24:35
  is
• 24:36
  actually
• 24:36
  offset
• 24:37
  printed,
• 24:38
  so
• 24:39
  that's
• 24:39
  why
• 24:39
  I
• 24:39
  have
• 24:39
  a
• 24:39
  hard
• 24:40
  copy.
• 24:40
  It
• 24:40
  has
• 24:41
  the
• 24:41
  spot
• 24:41
  UV
• 24:42
  on
• 24:42
  it.
• 24:42
  I
• 24:42
  don't
• 24:42
  know
• 24:42
  if
• 24:42
  you
• 24:42
  could
• 24:43
  see
• 24:43
  it,
• 24:43
  but
• 24:43
  it's
• 24:43
  a
• 24:44
  hard
• 24:44
  copy
• 24:45
  and
• 24:45
  it's
• 24:45
  offset.
• 24:47
  And
• 24:47
  I,
• 24:48
  I
• 24:48
  could
• 24:48
  have
• 24:48
  went
• 24:48
  print
• 24:49
  on
• 24:49
  demand,
• 24:50
  but
• 24:50
  I
• 24:50
  loved
• 24:52
  the
• 24:52
  quality
• 24:53
  of
• 24:53
  the
• 24:53
  offset
• 24:54
  printing.
• 24:55
  So
• 24:55
  I
• 24:55
  got
• 24:55
  samples
• 24:56
  of
• 24:56
  both.
• 24:57
  I
• 24:57
  bought
• 24:57
  books
• 24:57
  for
• 24:58
  samples
• 24:58
  of
• 24:58
  both
• 24:58
  and
• 24:58
  I
• 24:59
  tried
• 24:59
  to
• 24:59
  determine
• 24:59
  which.
• 25:00
  And
• 25:00
  I
• 25:00
  just
• 25:01
  knew
• 25:01
  that
• 25:01
  the
• 25:01
  offset
• 25:02
  printing
• 25:04
  is
• 25:05
  just
• 25:05
  beautiful.
• 25:05
  It's
• 25:06
  fantastic.
• 25:06
  And
• 25:07
  because
• 25:07
  I
• 25:07
  just
• 25:07
  feel
• 25:08
  that
• 25:08
  because
• 25:08
  it's
• 25:08
  a
• 25:09
  children's
• 25:09
  book
• 25:09
  and
• 25:09
  my
• 25:10
  illustrator
• 25:10
  is
• 25:10
  fantastic
• 25:11
  and
• 25:11
  I
• 25:11
  don't
• 25:11
  know
• 25:12
  if
• 25:12
  you've
• 25:12
  seen
• 25:12
  the
• 25:12
  illustrations,
• 25:13
  but
• 25:13
  they're
• 25:13
  beautiful
• 25:15
  that
• 25:15
  when
• 25:15
  you
• 25:15
  hand,
• 25:16
  when
• 25:16
  you
• 25:17
  hold
• 25:17
  my
• 25:18
  book,
• 25:19
  the
• 25:19
  illustrations
• 25:20
  are
• 25:20
  so
• 25:20
  vibrant
• 25:21
  and
• 25:21
  beautiful.
• 25:21
  And
• 25:22
  that's
• 25:22
  why
• 25:22
  I
• 25:22
  did
• 25:22
  what's
• 25:23
  called
• 25:23
  offset
• 25:23
  printing.
• 25:24
  Okay.
• 25:24
  And
• 25:25
  just
• 25:25
  so
• 25:25
  I
• 25:25
  understand,
• 25:26
  because
• 25:26
  most
• 25:27
  of
• 25:27
  the
• 25:27
  children's
• 25:27
  book
• 25:28
  authors
• 25:28
  that
• 25:28
  I
• 25:28
  talk
• 25:29
  to,
• 25:30
  they
• 25:30
  do
• 25:30
  it
• 25:30
  in
• 25:31
  various
• 25:31
  ways.
• 25:31
  The
• 25:32
  primary
• 25:32
  way
• 25:32
  is
• 25:33
  most
• 25:33
  of
• 25:33
  them
• 25:33
  go
• 25:34
  through
• 25:34
  Amazon.
• 25:35
  They
• 25:35
  do
• 25:36
  soft
• 25:36
  cover
• 25:37
  and
• 25:37
  an
• 25:37
  ebook
• 25:38
  automatically
• 25:38
  on
• 25:39
  Amazon
• 25:39
  because
• 25:40
  Amazon's
• 25:40
  about
• 25:41
  70%
• 25:41
  of
• 25:42
  book
• 25:42
  sales.
• 25:43
  Amazon
• 25:44
  doesn't
• 25:44
  do
• 25:45
  a
• 25:45
  hardcover
• 25:45
  for
• 25:46
  children's
• 25:46
  books
• 25:47
  because
• 25:47
  you
• 25:47
  need.
• 25:47
  I
• 25:47
  think
• 25:48
  it's
• 25:48
  a
• 25:48
  minimum
• 25:49
  of
• 25:49
  75
• 25:50
  pages
• 25:50
  before
• 25:51
  Amazon
• 25:52
  does
• 25:52
  a
• 25:52
  hardcover.
• 25:53
  And
• 25:53
  that's
• 25:53
  why
• 25:53
  a
• 25:53
  lot
• 25:54
  of
• 25:54
  people
• 25:54
  go
• 25:54
  to
• 25:54
  Ingram
• 25:55
  Sparks
• 25:55
  because
• 25:56
  they
• 25:56
  will
• 25:56
  do
• 25:57
  a
• 25:58
  hardcover
• 25:58
  children's
• 25:59
  book.
• 25:59
  Now,
• 26:00
  it's
• 26:00
  more
• 26:00
  expensive,
• 26:01
  but
• 26:01
  they
• 26:01
  will
• 26:02
  definitely
• 26:02
  do
• 26:02
  that
• 26:02
  for
• 26:03
  you.
• 26:03
  Both
• 26:04
  of
• 26:04
  those.
• 26:04
  Amazon,
• 26:05
  Ingram
• 26:06
  Sparks
• 26:06
  are
• 26:06
  also
• 26:08
  online
• 26:08
  distributors.
• 26:09
  Now,
• 26:09
  they
• 26:10
  can
• 26:10
  get
• 26:10
  you
• 26:10
  into
• 26:11
  brick
• 26:11
  and
• 26:11
  mortar,
• 26:12
  but
• 26:12
  primarily,
• 26:13
  I
• 26:13
  think
• 26:13
  most
• 26:13
  people
• 26:14
  use
• 26:14
  Amazon
• 26:15
  and
• 26:16
  ingramsparks
• 26:17
  for
• 26:18
  online
• 26:18
  distribution.
• 26:19
  So
• 26:20
  tell
• 26:20
  us
• 26:20
  about
• 26:21
  this.
• 26:22
  The
• 26:22
  distributorship
• 26:23
  that
• 26:24
  you're
• 26:24
  setting
• 26:24
  up,
• 26:25
  is
• 26:25
  it
• 26:25
  primarily
• 26:26
  bricks
• 26:26
  and
• 26:26
  mortar
• 26:27
  or
• 26:27
  is
• 26:27
  it
• 26:27
  online,
• 26:28
  or
• 26:28
  is
• 26:29
  it
• 26:29
  a
• 26:29
  combination
• 26:29
  of
• 26:29
  both?
• 26:30
  Yes,
• 26:31
  good
• 26:31
  question.
• 26:31
  And
• 26:32
  it
• 26:32
  is.
• 26:32
  There's
• 26:32
  so
• 26:33
  many
• 26:33
  different
• 26:33
  definitions
• 26:35
  and
• 26:35
  so
• 26:35
  many
• 26:35
  layers.
• 26:36
  And
• 26:36
  so
• 26:36
  many
• 26:36
  layers.
• 26:37
  So
• 26:37
  I
• 26:37
  hope
• 26:38
  that
• 26:38
  I
• 26:38
  can
• 26:39
  explain
• 26:39
  it
• 26:39
  a
• 26:40
  little
• 26:40
  bit
• 26:40
  easier
• 26:41
  because
• 26:41
  I've
• 26:42
  really
• 26:42
  done
• 26:42
  a
• 26:42
  lot
• 26:42
  of
• 26:42
  the
• 26:43
  homework
• 26:43
  and.
• 26:44
  Okay,
• 26:44
  the
• 26:44
  distributorship.
• 26:45
  There's
• 26:46
  distributors
• 26:46
  out
• 26:46
  there
• 26:47
  who.
• 26:47
  And
• 26:48
  this
• 26:48
  is
• 26:48
  what
• 26:48
  the
• 26:48
  goal
• 26:48
  should
• 26:48
  be
• 26:49
  of
• 26:49
  all
• 26:49
  children's
• 26:50
  books,
• 26:50
  I
• 26:50
  believe,
• 26:51
  is
• 26:51
  to
• 26:52
  get
• 26:53
  your.
• 26:53
  There's
• 26:54
  distributors
• 26:54
  out
• 26:54
  there
• 26:54
  who
• 26:55
  can
• 26:55
  get
• 26:55
  your
• 26:55
  book
• 26:55
  listed,
• 26:56
  listed.
• 26:57
  It's
• 26:57
  a
• 26:57
  listing
• 26:58
  on
• 26:59
  the
• 26:59
  Barnes
• 27:00
  and
• 27:00
  Nobles,
• 27:01
  the
• 27:02
  Walmarts.
• 27:03
  Okay.
• 27:04
  On
• 27:04
  the
• 27:04
  Walmart
• 27:04
  page,
• 27:05
  on
• 27:05
  the
• 27:05
  Target
• 27:06
  page.
• 27:06
  And
• 27:06
  that's
• 27:07
  the
• 27:07
  listing.
• 27:07
  That's
• 27:08
  a
• 27:08
  listing.
• 27:08
  And
• 27:08
  that's
• 27:08
  great.
• 27:09
  Ingramsparks
• 27:11
  does
• 27:11
  a
• 27:12
  big
• 27:12
  part
• 27:12
  of
• 27:12
  that.
• 27:13
  Yes.
• 27:13
  And
• 27:13
  you
• 27:14
  want
• 27:14
  that
• 27:14
  because
• 27:16
  that
• 27:16
  is
• 27:16
  visibility
• 27:18
  and
• 27:18
  just
• 27:19
  different
• 27:19
  channels
• 27:20
  for
• 27:20
  people
• 27:20
  to
• 27:21
  buy
• 27:21
  your
• 27:21
  book.
• 27:21
  So
• 27:22
  if
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  didn't
• 27:23
  have
• 27:23
  a
• 27:23
  distributor
• 27:24
  to
• 27:25
  do
• 27:25
  that,
• 27:26
  like
• 27:26
  in
• 27:26
  ingramsparks,
• 27:27
  you
• 27:28
  would
• 27:28
  just
• 27:28
  be
• 27:28
  selling
• 27:29
  your
• 27:29
  books
• 27:29
  on
• 27:29
  your
• 27:29
  website
• 27:30
  or
• 27:30
  book
• 27:31
  fairs,
• 27:31
  and
• 27:31
  that
• 27:31
  would
• 27:31
  be
• 27:32
  really
• 27:32
  difficult
• 27:32
  to
• 27:32
  do
• 27:33
  you.
• 27:33
  And
• 27:33
  of
• 27:33
  course,
• 27:34
  through
• 27:34
  an
• 27:34
  Amazon
• 27:34
  listing,
• 27:35
  anybody
• 27:35
  can
• 27:35
  have
• 27:35
  the
• 27:36
  Amazon
• 27:36
  listing
• 27:36
  right
• 27:37
  now.
• 27:38
  There's
• 27:38
  another.
• 27:39
  There's
• 27:39
  other
• 27:39
  distributors,
• 27:40
  like
• 27:40
  I
• 27:40
  would
• 27:41
  say,
• 27:41
  let's
• 27:41
  say
• 27:41
  a
• 27:41
  step
• 27:41
  up,
• 27:42
  where
• 27:43
  they
• 27:44
  actually
• 27:44
  have
• 27:45
  account
• 27:45
  reps
• 27:46
  who
• 27:46
  go
• 27:46
  into
• 27:46
  the
• 27:47
  box
• 27:47
  stores.
• 27:47
  I'll
• 27:48
  say
• 27:48
  the
• 27:48
  box
• 27:48
  stores
• 27:49
  to
• 27:49
  get
• 27:49
  your
• 27:49
  book
• 27:49
  in
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  store.
• 27:51
  So
• 27:51
  when
• 27:51
  you
• 27:51
  go
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  Barnes
• 27:52
  and
• 27:52
  Nobles
• 27:52
  and
• 27:52
  Target
• 27:53
  and
• 27:53
  you
• 27:53
  see
• 27:53
  the
• 27:54
  kids
• 27:54
  books,
• 27:55
  you
• 27:55
  say
• 27:55
  to
• 27:55
  yourself,
• 27:56
  how
• 27:56
  do
• 27:56
  I
• 27:56
  get
• 27:56
  my
• 27:57
  book
• 27:57
  in
• 27:57
  there?
• 27:58
  Right.
• 27:58
  I
• 27:58
  want
• 27:59
  my
• 27:59
  book
• 27:59
  to
• 27:59
  be
• 27:59
  in
• 28:00
  those
• 28:00
  stores.
• 28:00
  Right.
• 28:00
  Physically
• 28:01
  in
• 28:01
  them.
• 28:02
  And
• 28:02
  that
• 28:03
  is
• 28:03
  a
• 28:03
  different
• 28:04
  distributorship
• 28:05
  where
• 28:06
  a
• 28:07
  distributor
• 28:07
  company
• 28:08
  will
• 28:08
  have
• 28:08
  account
• 28:09
  reps
• 28:09
  working
• 28:09
  on
• 28:10
  your
• 28:10
  behalf
• 28:11
  to
• 28:12
  act
• 28:13
  as
• 28:14
  like
• 28:14
  maybe
• 28:14
  a
• 28:15
  selling
• 28:15
  agent,
• 28:15
  I'll
• 28:16
  say.
• 28:16
  But
• 28:16
  their
• 28:16
  account
• 28:16
  reps
• 28:17
  who
• 28:17
  just
• 28:17
  push
• 28:18
  their
• 28:18
  books
• 28:19
  that
• 28:19
  they
• 28:20
  have
• 28:20
  in
• 28:20
  that
• 28:20
  distributorship.
• 28:21
  And
• 28:21
  say,
• 28:21
  hey,
• 28:22
  here's
• 28:22
  this
• 28:22
  new
• 28:22
  book
• 28:23
  series
• 28:23
  or
• 28:23
  here's
• 28:23
  this
• 28:23
  new
• 28:23
  book.
• 28:24
  Have
• 28:24
  you
• 28:24
  developed
• 28:25
  a
• 28:25
  relationship
• 28:26
  with
• 28:26
  a
• 28:26
  couple
• 28:26
  of
• 28:26
  those
• 28:27
  or
• 28:27
  just
• 28:27
  one?
• 28:28
  Tell
• 28:28
  us
• 28:29
  about
• 28:29
  that.
• 28:30
  Yeah,
• 28:30
  there's
• 28:30
  a
• 28:30
  couple
• 28:31
  of
• 28:31
  them
• 28:31
  that
• 28:31
  I've
• 28:31
  recently
• 28:32
  did
• 28:33
  develop
• 28:33
  relationships
• 28:34
  with.
• 28:34
  It's
• 28:35
  very
• 28:35
  difficult
• 28:36
  starting
• 28:36
  out
• 28:37
  to
• 28:38
  get
• 28:38
  the
• 28:38
  distributorship
• 28:39
  with,
• 28:40
  with
• 28:40
  the
• 28:40
  big
• 28:40
  box
• 28:41
  stores.
• 28:41
  So
• 28:42
  it's
• 28:42
  extremely
• 28:42
  difficult
• 28:43
  because
• 28:43
  they
• 28:43
  want
• 28:44
  to
• 28:44
  see
• 28:45
  sales,
• 28:46
  they
• 28:46
  want
• 28:46
  to
• 28:46
  see
• 28:46
  what
• 28:47
  you've
• 28:47
  done.
• 28:48
  They
• 28:48
  want,
• 28:48
  and
• 28:48
  they
• 28:48
  do
• 28:49
  want
• 28:49
  book
• 28:49
  series
• 28:50
  a
• 28:50
  lot
• 28:50
  of
• 28:50
  times
• 28:51
  because
• 28:51
  just
• 28:51
  one
• 28:51
  and
• 28:52
  done
• 28:52
  books
• 28:52
  that
• 28:53
  they're.
• 28:53
  Unless
• 28:53
  they're
• 28:53
  like
• 28:54
  fantastic.
• 28:55
  Yes,
• 28:55
  of
• 28:56
  course.
• 28:56
  But
• 28:57
  It's
• 28:57
  a
• 28:57
  catch
• 28:58
  22.
• 28:59
  It's
• 28:59
  like
• 29:00
  graduating
• 29:01
  college
• 29:01
  or
• 29:01
  technical
• 29:02
  school.
• 29:02
  Maybe
• 29:03
  not
• 29:03
  technical
• 29:03
  school,
• 29:03
  but
• 29:04
  and
• 29:04
  going
• 29:05
  to
• 29:05
  get
• 29:05
  a
• 29:05
  job.
• 29:06
  And
• 29:06
  they
• 29:06
  want
• 29:06
  experience
• 29:07
  first.
• 29:07
  It's
• 29:07
  how
• 29:07
  do
• 29:08
  I
• 29:08
  get
• 29:08
  experience
• 29:08
  unless
• 29:09
  someone
• 29:09
  takes
• 29:09
  a
• 29:09
  chance
• 29:09
  on
• 29:10
  me?
• 29:10
  And
• 29:11
  so
• 29:11
  as
• 29:11
  a
• 29:11
  children's
• 29:12
  book
• 29:12
  author,
• 29:12
  you
• 29:12
  really
• 29:13
  have
• 29:13
  to
• 29:13
  do
• 29:13
  a
• 29:13
  lot
• 29:13
  of
• 29:14
  the
• 29:14
  work
• 29:15
  to
• 29:15
  get
• 29:15
  the
• 29:16
  sales
• 29:16
  out
• 29:16
  there
• 29:17
  and
• 29:17
  to
• 29:17
  show
• 29:18
  that
• 29:19
  what
• 29:19
  your
• 29:20
  long
• 29:20
  term
• 29:20
  plans
• 29:21
  are.
• 29:21
  Because
• 29:21
  I
• 29:22
  have
• 29:22
  the
• 29:22
  four
• 29:22
  books
• 29:23
  and
• 29:23
  I
• 29:23
  have
• 29:23
  two
• 29:24
  already
• 29:24
  that
• 29:24
  are
• 29:25
  in
• 29:25
  print.
• 29:25
  This
• 29:25
  is,
• 29:26
  I
• 29:26
  know
• 29:26
  your
• 29:26
  audience
• 29:26
  can't
• 29:27
  see,
• 29:27
  but
• 29:27
  this
• 29:27
  is
• 29:27
  the
• 29:27
  second
• 29:28
  book
• 29:28
  Sadness.
• 29:29
  And
• 29:30
  so
• 29:30
  they
• 29:30
  know
• 29:30
  that
• 29:30
  I
• 29:31
  have
• 29:31
  the
• 29:31
  four
• 29:31
  books
• 29:32
  coming
• 29:32
  down
• 29:32
  the
• 29:32
  pike,
• 29:33
  the
• 29:33
  two
• 29:34
  already
• 29:34
  and
• 29:35
  plus
• 29:35
  the
• 29:35
  plushies.
• 29:37
  So
• 29:37
  they
• 29:37
  look
• 29:38
  at,
• 29:39
  you
• 29:40
  know
• 29:40
  how
• 29:40
  viable
• 29:40
  the
• 29:41
  book
• 29:41
  can
• 29:41
  be.
• 29:41
  So
• 29:41
  when
• 29:42
  you
• 29:42
  say
• 29:42
  plushies,
• 29:42
  I
• 29:43
  just
• 29:43
  want
• 29:43
  to
• 29:43
  pick
• 29:43
  up
• 29:43
  on
• 29:43
  that
• 29:43
  for
• 29:44
  a
• 29:44
  moment
• 29:44
  because
• 29:44
  if
• 29:44
  people
• 29:45
  visit
• 29:45
  your
• 29:45
  website
• 29:46
  and
• 29:46
  we're
• 29:46
  going
• 29:46
  to
• 29:46
  definitely
• 29:47
  link
• 29:47
  to
• 29:48
  your
• 29:48
  website
• 29:48
  in
• 29:48
  the
• 29:48
  show
• 29:49
  notes.
• 29:49
  But
• 29:49
  I
• 29:50
  noticed
• 29:50
  you
• 29:50
  have
• 29:51
  pillows.
• 29:51
  But
• 29:52
  I
• 29:52
  didn't
• 29:52
  see
• 29:52
  any
• 29:53
  plushies
• 29:54
  on
• 29:54
  your
• 29:54
  website
• 29:54
  yet.
• 29:54
  When
• 29:55
  you
• 29:55
  say
• 29:55
  plushies,
• 29:56
  are
• 29:56
  you
• 29:56
  talking
• 29:57
  about
• 29:57
  actually
• 29:58
  taking
• 29:58
  Bella
• 29:59
  and
• 29:59
  Bird
• 29:59
  and
• 30:00
  making
• 30:00
  them
• 30:00
  into
• 30:01
  as
• 30:01
  we
• 30:01
  did
• 30:02
  with
• 30:02
  caboose
• 30:02
  into
• 30:03
  a
• 30:03
  plushie?
• 30:04
  Yeah.
• 30:04
  And
• 30:04
  they
• 30:05
  are.
• 30:05
  There's
• 30:05
  mockups.
• 30:06
  I
• 30:06
  have
• 30:06
  mock
• 30:06
  ups
• 30:07
  right
• 30:07
  now.
• 30:07
  Bird
• 30:08
  has
• 30:08
  been
• 30:08
  done.
• 30:09
  I've
• 30:09
  been
• 30:09
  doing,
• 30:09
  I've
• 30:10
  been
• 30:10
  working
• 30:10
  on
• 30:10
  plushies
• 30:12
  probably
• 30:12
  about
• 30:12
  nine
• 30:13
  or
• 30:13
  ten
• 30:13
  months.
• 30:14
  Okay.
• 30:14
  With
• 30:14
  a
• 30:14
  company
• 30:15
  and
• 30:16
  Ushies
• 30:16
  are
• 30:16
  so
• 30:17
  hard.
• 30:17
  But
• 30:18
  horses
• 30:19
  are
• 30:19
  incredibly
• 30:20
  difficult.
• 30:21
  And
• 30:21
  it
• 30:22
  Bert
• 30:22
  was
• 30:23
  done.
• 30:23
  Birdie's
• 30:23
  great.
• 30:24
  But
• 30:24
  it's
• 30:25
  Bella
• 30:26
  because
• 30:26
  Bella
• 30:27
  is
• 30:27
  so
• 30:27
  hard
• 30:27
  because
• 30:28
  she's
• 30:28
  got
• 30:28
  that
• 30:28
  long,
• 30:29
  beautiful
• 30:29
  mane
• 30:30
  and
• 30:30
  the
• 30:30
  feathering
• 30:30
  on
• 30:31
  her
• 30:31
  feet
• 30:31
  and
• 30:31
  getting
• 30:32
  the
• 30:32
  spots
• 30:32
  correct
• 30:33
  and
• 30:34
  all
• 30:34
  of
• 30:34
  that.
• 30:34
  If
• 30:35
  she
• 30:35
  was
• 30:35
  just
• 30:35
  a
• 30:35
  brown
• 30:35
  horse
• 30:36
  boy,
• 30:36
  that
• 30:37
  would
• 30:37
  have
• 30:37
  been
• 30:37
  easy.
• 30:37
  It's
• 30:38
  interesting
• 30:38
  you
• 30:38
  should
• 30:38
  say
• 30:39
  that
• 30:39
  because
• 30:39
  if
• 30:39
  you
• 30:39
  look
• 30:39
  at
• 30:40
  a
• 30:40
  caboose
• 30:41
  behind
• 30:41
  us
• 30:42
  and
• 30:42
  I
• 30:42
  know
• 30:42
  the
• 30:42
  audience
• 30:43
  can't
• 30:43
  see
• 30:44
  our
• 30:44
  prototype,
• 30:45
  but
• 30:45
  I
• 30:46
  actually
• 30:46
  took
• 30:46
  pictures
• 30:47
  of
• 30:47
  the
• 30:47
  prototype.
• 30:48
  I
• 30:48
  had
• 30:48
  to
• 30:48
  flip
• 30:49
  the
• 30:49
  bear
• 30:49
  over,
• 30:50
  take
• 30:50
  her
• 30:51
  clothes
• 30:51
  off
• 30:52
  and
• 30:52
  all
• 30:52
  of
• 30:53
  that
• 30:53
  kind
• 30:53
  of
• 30:53
  good
• 30:53
  stuff
• 30:54
  and
• 30:54
  lay
• 30:54
  it
• 30:54
  all
• 30:54
  out
• 30:55
  and
• 30:55
  then
• 30:55
  send
• 30:55
  pictures.
• 30:56
  But
• 30:56
  I
• 30:57
  think
• 30:57
  that
• 30:57
  the
• 30:57
  people
• 30:58
  that
• 30:58
  did
• 30:58
  the
• 30:59
  plushie
• 30:59
  did
• 30:59
  a
• 31:00
  pretty
• 31:00
  darn
• 31:00
  good
• 31:00
  job
• 31:00
  from
• 31:01
  the
• 31:01
  prototype.
• 31:02
  Yeah,
• 31:02
  it's
• 31:02
  actually
• 31:03
  a
• 31:03
  lot
• 31:03
  of
• 31:03
  work.
• 31:04
  It's
• 31:04
  a
• 31:05
  lot
• 31:05
  of
• 31:05
  work.
• 31:05
  So.
• 31:06
  So
• 31:07
  I'm
• 31:07
  waiting
• 31:07
  on
• 31:08
  Bella.
• 31:08
  One
• 31:08
  of
• 31:09
  the
• 31:09
  things
• 31:09
  recently
• 31:09
  that
• 31:10
  I
• 31:10
  just
• 31:10
  changed
• 31:10
  last
• 31:11
  week
• 31:11
  is
• 31:11
  they
• 31:11
  had
• 31:11
  Bella
• 31:12
  standing.
• 31:12
  Like,
• 31:12
  standing.
• 31:13
  But
• 31:13
  I
• 31:13
  want
• 31:13
  her
• 31:14
  squished
• 31:14
  down,
• 31:15
  her
• 31:15
  legs,
• 31:15
  like
• 31:16
  floppy
• 31:17
  so
• 31:17
  the
• 31:17
  kids
• 31:17
  can
• 31:17
  hug.
• 31:18
  So
• 31:18
  now
• 31:18
  they're
• 31:18
  going
• 31:19
  back.
• 31:19
  Yeah,
• 31:20
  now
• 31:20
  they're
• 31:20
  going
• 31:20
  back
• 31:20
  to
• 31:21
  fix
• 31:21
  that.
• 31:21
  Cause
• 31:21
  I
• 31:21
  didn't.
• 31:22
  It
• 31:22
  didn't
• 31:22
  click
• 31:22
  with
• 31:22
  me
• 31:23
  before
• 31:23
  when
• 31:23
  they
• 31:23
  were
• 31:23
  sending
• 31:24
  me
• 31:24
  the
• 31:24
  files,
• 31:25
  and
• 31:25
  I'm
• 31:25
  like,
• 31:25
  oh,
• 31:25
  no,
• 31:26
  I
• 31:26
  want
• 31:26
  her
• 31:26
  floppy.
• 31:28
  So
• 31:28
  they're
• 31:28
  not
• 31:29
  on
• 31:29
  the
• 31:29
  website.
• 31:29
  Cause
• 31:29
  they're
• 31:29
  not
• 31:30
  available
• 31:30
  yet.
• 31:30
  Although
• 31:31
  I
• 31:31
  do
• 31:31
  have
• 31:32
  the
• 31:33
  prototype
• 31:33
  pictures
• 31:34
  I
• 31:34
  could
• 31:34
  probably
• 31:34
  put
• 31:34
  on
• 31:34
  there
• 31:35
  and
• 31:35
  say,
• 31:35
  coming
• 31:35
  soon,
• 31:36
  Which
• 31:36
  I
• 31:36
  probably
• 31:37
  should
• 31:37
  do
• 31:37
  that.
• 31:38
  The
• 31:38
  pillows
• 31:39
  are
• 31:39
  something.
• 31:40
  They're
• 31:40
  so
• 31:40
  adorable,
• 31:41
  the
• 31:41
  pillows.
• 31:41
  They
• 31:42
  are.
• 31:42
  They're
• 31:43
  book
• 31:43
  pillows.
• 31:43
  And
• 31:44
  you
• 31:44
  just
• 31:44
  tuck
• 31:44
  the
• 31:44
  book
• 31:44
  in
• 31:45
  the
• 31:45
  back.
• 31:45
  That's
• 31:46
  very
• 31:46
  neat.
• 31:47
  I
• 31:47
  love
• 31:48
  it.
• 31:48
  And
• 31:49
  friend
• 31:49
  of
• 31:49
  mine
• 31:49
  makes
• 31:50
  those,
• 31:50
  actually.
• 31:50
  And
• 31:51
  so
• 31:51
  when
• 31:51
  I
• 31:51
  go
• 31:51
  to
• 31:52
  book
• 31:52
  fairs
• 31:52
  or
• 31:53
  festivals,
• 31:53
  I
• 31:53
  bring
• 31:54
  the
• 31:54
  book
• 31:54
  pillows
• 31:55
  and
• 31:55
  I
• 31:55
  try
• 31:55
  to
• 31:55
  package
• 31:56
  with
• 31:56
  the
• 31:56
  book
• 31:57
  and
• 31:57
  the
• 31:57
  pillow
• 31:57
  or
• 31:58
  separately.
• 31:59
  And
• 31:59
  you
• 31:59
  know
• 31:59
  what?
• 32:00
  You're
• 32:00
  the
• 32:00
  first
• 32:00
  one
• 32:00
  that's
• 32:01
  actually
• 32:01
  talked
• 32:02
  about
• 32:02
  book
• 32:02
  pillows.
• 32:03
  And
• 32:04
  I
• 32:04
  love
• 32:04
  that
• 32:04
  because,
• 32:05
  again,
• 32:05
  I'm
• 32:06
  always
• 32:06
  looking
• 32:06
  for
• 32:07
  something
• 32:07
  the
• 32:07
  audience,
• 32:08
  something
• 32:08
  new
• 32:09
  for
• 32:09
  the
• 32:09
  audience.
• 32:09
  And
• 32:10
  a
• 32:10
  book
• 32:10
  pillow.
• 32:11
  What
• 32:11
  a
• 32:11
  great
• 32:11
  idea.
• 32:12
  I
• 32:12
  think
• 32:12
  that's
• 32:12
  awesome.
• 32:14
  The
• 32:14
  kids
• 32:14
  love
• 32:15
  to
• 32:15
  come
• 32:15
  up
• 32:15
  and
• 32:15
  squeeze
• 32:16
  it.
• 32:17
  And
• 32:17
  I
• 32:17
  have
• 32:17
  little
• 32:18
  tiny
• 32:18
  ones
• 32:18
  or,
• 32:19
  like,
• 32:19
  mini
• 32:19
  book
• 32:19
  pillows.
• 32:19
  And
• 32:20
  I
• 32:20
  have
• 32:20
  the
• 32:20
  bigger
• 32:20
  book
• 32:20
  pillow.
• 32:21
  The
• 32:21
  book
• 32:21
  gets
• 32:21
  tucked
• 32:22
  in
• 32:22
  the
• 32:22
  box.
• 32:22
  I
• 32:22
  saw
• 32:23
  that
• 32:23
  on
• 32:23
  your
• 32:23
  website.
• 32:24
  So
• 32:24
  if
• 32:24
  anybody's
• 32:25
  interested
• 32:26
  again,
• 32:26
  we'll
• 32:26
  put
• 32:27
  the
• 32:27
  link
• 32:27
  in
• 32:27
  there.
• 32:27
  I
• 32:28
  just
• 32:28
  want
• 32:28
  to
• 32:28
  back
• 32:28
  up
• 32:29
  for
• 32:29
  a
• 32:29
  second
• 32:30
  because
• 32:30
  I
• 32:30
  know
• 32:31
  it's
• 32:31
  interesting.
• 32:32
  Everybody
• 32:32
  does
• 32:33
  it
• 32:33
  differently,
• 32:33
  and
• 32:34
  that's
• 32:34
  part
• 32:34
  of
• 32:35
  what
• 32:35
  our
• 32:35
  show
• 32:35
  is
• 32:36
  all
• 32:36
  about.
• 32:36
  Now,
• 32:38
  in
• 32:39
  terms
• 32:39
  of
• 32:42
  soft
• 32:42
  cover.
• 32:43
  So
• 32:43
  a
• 32:44
  paperback,
• 32:44
  Are
• 32:45
  you
• 32:45
  looking
• 32:45
  to
• 32:46
  do
• 32:46
  that,
• 32:46
  and
• 32:47
  are
• 32:47
  you
• 32:48
  looking
• 32:48
  to
• 32:48
  do
• 32:48
  that
• 32:48
  through
• 32:49
  Amazon?
• 32:50
  Yeah,
• 32:51
  good
• 32:51
  question.
• 32:52
  That's
• 32:52
  a
• 32:52
  great
• 32:53
  question.
• 32:53
  Because
• 32:54
  I
• 32:54
  am
• 32:55
  doing
• 32:55
  offset
• 32:56
  printing.
• 32:57
  Okay.
• 32:58
  My
• 32:58
  books.
• 32:59
  Okay.
• 32:59
  And
• 32:59
  with
• 32:59
  the
• 33:00
  offset
• 33:00
  printing,
• 33:01
  it's.
• 33:01
  I
• 33:02
  can
• 33:02
  do
• 33:02
  soft
• 33:02
  cover
• 33:03
  or
• 33:03
  hardcover.
• 33:03
  I
• 33:04
  did
• 33:04
  hardcover
• 33:05
  again,
• 33:05
  because
• 33:05
  I
• 33:05
  like
• 33:06
  the
• 33:06
  hardcover.
• 33:07
  My
• 33:07
  books
• 33:08
  are
• 33:08
  in
• 33:08
  a
• 33:08
  warehouse.
• 33:09
  It's
• 33:09
  called
• 33:09
  3PL.
• 33:10
  I
• 33:11
  don't
• 33:11
  know
• 33:11
  if
• 33:11
  you
• 33:11
  ever
• 33:11
  heard
• 33:11
  of
• 33:11
  it.
• 33:12
  3PL.
• 33:13
  Where
• 33:13
  my
• 33:13
  books
• 33:14
  are
• 33:14
  print.
• 33:14
  Printed
• 33:14
  in
• 33:14
  China.
• 33:15
  Where
• 33:15
  every
• 33:15
  single
• 33:16
  book
• 33:16
  is
• 33:16
  printed
• 33:16
  in
• 33:16
  China.
• 33:17
  And.
• 33:17
  And
• 33:18
  then
• 33:18
  Shipped
• 33:18
  over
• 33:19
  and
• 33:19
  then
• 33:19
  warehoused
• 33:20
  for
• 33:20
  me.
• 33:21
  So
• 33:21
  I
• 33:21
  didn't
• 33:22
  want
• 33:22
  a
• 33:22
  garage
• 33:23
  full
• 33:23
  of
• 33:23
  books.
• 33:23
  And
• 33:24
  because
• 33:24
  I'm
• 33:24
  not
• 33:24
  doing
• 33:25
  print
• 33:25
  on
• 33:26
  demand.
• 33:27
  Print
• 33:27
  on
• 33:27
  demand
• 33:28
  is
• 33:28
  you.
• 33:29
  Someone
• 33:29
  buys
• 33:29
  your
• 33:29
  book
• 33:30
  and
• 33:30
  they
• 33:30
  print
• 33:31
  it
• 33:31
  right
• 33:31
  then
• 33:31
  and
• 33:31
  there,
• 33:32
  or
• 33:32
  when
• 33:32
  and
• 33:32
  then
• 33:32
  ship
• 33:33
  it
• 33:33
  out.
• 33:33
  Absolutely.
• 33:34
  So
• 33:35
  I
• 33:36
  have
• 33:36
  my
• 33:36
  books
• 33:37
  warehoused.
• 33:39
  The.
• 33:40
  The
• 33:40
  soft
• 33:41
  covers.
• 33:41
  Yes.
• 33:41
  I
• 33:42
  was
• 33:42
  going
• 33:42
  to
• 33:42
  do
• 33:42
  soft
• 33:43
  covers.
• 33:43
  My
• 33:44
  main
• 33:44
  goal
• 33:44
  has
• 33:44
  always
• 33:44
  been,
• 33:45
  based
• 33:46
  on
• 33:46
  the
• 33:47
  topic
• 33:47
  of
• 33:47
  my
• 33:47
  books,
• 33:48
  a
• 33:48
  little
• 33:48
  different.
• 33:49
  I
• 33:49
  want
• 33:49
  to
• 33:49
  get
• 33:50
  them
• 33:50
  into
• 33:50
  schools
• 33:51
  and
• 33:51
  libraries
• 33:52
  and
• 33:52
  therapy
• 33:53
  offices
• 33:53
  and
• 33:53
  of
• 33:54
  course,
• 33:54
  parents
• 33:54
  and
• 33:54
  grandparents.
• 33:55
  That's
• 33:56
  of
• 33:56
  course.
• 33:57
  But
• 33:57
  because
• 33:57
  it's
• 33:58
  a
• 33:58
  series,
• 33:59
  I
• 33:59
  also
• 34:00
  have
• 34:01
  curriculum.
• 34:01
  My
• 34:02
  background's
• 34:02
  also
• 34:02
  in
• 34:03
  education,
• 34:04
  so
• 34:04
  I
• 34:04
  also
• 34:04
  have
• 34:05
  curriculum
• 34:05
  that
• 34:06
  I
• 34:06
  develop
• 34:06
  for
• 34:06
  each
• 34:06
  of
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  books
• 34:07
  to
• 34:08
  compute
• 34:08
  them.
• 34:09
  So
• 34:09
  it
• 34:09
  could
• 34:09
  be
• 34:09
  a
• 34:10
  package
• 34:10
  for
• 34:10
  classrooms.
• 34:11
  Okay.
• 34:12
  And
• 34:12
  that's
• 34:13
  where
• 34:15
  I'm
• 34:15
  starting
• 34:15
  to
• 34:16
  maneuver
• 34:16
  toward,
• 34:17
  is
• 34:18
  the
• 34:18
  soft
• 34:19
  covers
• 34:19
  for
• 34:20
  the
• 34:20
  kids
• 34:20
  in
• 34:20
  the
• 34:20
  classroom.
• 34:21
  And
• 34:21
  I'm
• 34:21
  trying
• 34:21
  to
• 34:22
  determine
• 34:23
  if
• 34:23
  it's
• 34:23
  worth
• 34:23
  doing
• 34:24
  soft
• 34:24
  cover
• 34:24
  or
• 34:25
  sticking
• 34:25
  with
• 34:25
  the
• 34:25
  hardcover.
• 34:26
  So
• 34:27
  I'm
• 34:27
  in
• 34:27
  that
• 34:27
  phase
• 34:27
  right
• 34:28
  now.
• 34:28
  Are
• 34:28
  you
• 34:29
  concerned?
• 34:29
  I'm
• 34:29
  trying
• 34:30
  to
• 34:31
  think
• 34:31
  about
• 34:31
  it
• 34:31
  from
• 34:32
  like
• 34:32
  a
• 34:33
  Amazon
• 34:34
  print
• 34:35
  on
• 34:35
  demand
• 34:36
  because
• 34:36
  it's
• 34:36
  really
• 34:36
  just
• 34:37
  the
• 34:37
  book
• 34:37
  files.
• 34:38
  Once
• 34:38
  you
• 34:39
  have
• 34:39
  the
• 34:39
  files
• 34:39
  for
• 34:40
  the
• 34:40
  front
• 34:40
  and
• 34:40
  back
• 34:41
  cover
• 34:41
  and
• 34:41
  the
• 34:42
  interior
• 34:43
  files,
• 34:44
  it's
• 34:44
  quite
• 34:44
  easy
• 34:45
  to
• 34:45
  get
• 34:45
  set
• 34:45
  up
• 34:45
  on
• 34:46
  Amazon,
• 34:46
  and
• 34:47
  then
• 34:47
  you
• 34:47
  can
• 34:47
  have
• 34:47
  world
• 34:48
  distribution
• 34:50
  through
• 34:50
  Amazon.
• 34:51
  Are
• 34:51
  you
• 34:51
  concerned
• 34:52
  that
• 34:52
  because
• 34:53
  of
• 34:53
  the
• 34:53
  content
• 34:54
  in
• 34:54
  your
• 34:54
  book,
• 34:55
  that's
• 34:55
  not
• 34:55
  an
• 34:56
  approach
• 34:56
  you
• 34:56
  want
• 34:56
  to
• 34:56
  take?
• 34:58
  No,
• 34:58
  it
• 34:58
  was
• 34:59
  my
• 35:00
  books
• 35:00
  with
• 35:00
  offset
• 35:01
  printing,
• 35:01
  what
• 35:01
  they
• 35:02
  do
• 35:02
  is
• 35:02
  they
• 35:02
  bleed
• 35:03
  out
• 35:03
  into
• 35:04
  over
• 35:05
  the
• 35:05
  pages.
• 35:05
  Okay.
• 35:06
  And
• 35:07
  so
• 35:07
  if
• 35:07
  I
• 35:08
  were
• 35:08
  to
• 35:08
  do
• 35:09
  a
• 35:09
  soft
• 35:10
  cover,
• 35:10
  they
• 35:10
  would
• 35:10
  take
• 35:10
  the
• 35:11
  files
• 35:11
  that
• 35:11
  I
• 35:11
  currently
• 35:12
  have
• 35:12
  that
• 35:13
  have
• 35:13
  already
• 35:13
  been
• 35:13
  developed.
• 35:14
  Yes.
• 35:14
  And
• 35:15
  there'd
• 35:15
  be
• 35:15
  a
• 35:15
  line
• 35:16
  right
• 35:16
  down
• 35:16
  the
• 35:16
  center
• 35:17
  of
• 35:17
  the
• 35:17
  page.
• 35:18
  And
• 35:18
  so
• 35:18
  some
• 35:18
  of
• 35:19
  my
• 35:19
  pictures,
• 35:20
  like
• 35:20
  this
• 35:20
  one,
• 35:21
  I
• 35:21
  don't
• 35:21
  know
• 35:21
  if
• 35:21
  you
• 35:21
  can
• 35:21
  see.
• 35:21
  I
• 35:21
  know
• 35:21
  it's
• 35:22
  hard,
• 35:22
  but
• 35:22
  this
• 35:23
  bleeds
• 35:23
  all
• 35:24
  the
• 35:24
  way
• 35:24
  through
• 35:24
  into
• 35:25
  the
• 35:25
  next
• 35:25
  page.
• 35:26
  So
• 35:26
  when
• 35:26
  you
• 35:26
  open
• 35:27
  bleeds
• 35:28
  together.
• 35:29
  So
• 35:30
  with
• 35:30
  a
• 35:30
  soft
• 35:31
  cover,
• 35:31
  there
• 35:31
  would
• 35:32
  be
• 35:32
  a
• 35:32
  line
• 35:32
  right
• 35:33
  down
• 35:33
  the
• 35:33
  center.
• 35:34
  And
• 35:34
  again,
• 35:34
  that's
• 35:34
  quality.
• 35:35
  And
• 35:35
  so
• 35:36
  I'm
• 35:37
  trying
• 35:37
  to
• 35:37
  determine,
• 35:38
  are
• 35:38
  the
• 35:38
  kids
• 35:38
  even
• 35:39
  going
• 35:39
  to
• 35:39
  notice
• 35:39
  that?
• 35:40
  That's
• 35:41
  a
• 35:41
  really
• 35:41
  tough
• 35:42
  question.
• 35:42
  Because
• 35:43
  you
• 35:44
  know
• 35:44
  what?
• 35:44
  I've
• 35:44
  got
• 35:44
  five
• 35:45
  grandchildren,
• 35:46
  and
• 35:47
  even
• 35:48
  as
• 35:48
  adults,
• 35:49
  we
• 35:49
  might
• 35:49
  appreciate
• 35:51
  the
• 35:52
  quality
• 35:52
  of
• 35:52
  the
• 35:52
  book.
• 35:53
  I
• 35:53
  just
• 35:54
  find
• 35:54
  with
• 35:54
  my
• 35:55
  five
• 35:55
  grandchildren,
• 35:56
  anyway,
• 35:56
  they
• 35:57
  just
• 35:57
  want
• 35:57
  to
• 35:57
  flip
• 35:57
  through
• 35:58
  it
• 35:58
  and.
• 35:59
  Exactly.
• 36:00
  So,
• 36:00
  again,
• 36:01
  I'm
• 36:01
  not
• 36:01
  saying
• 36:01
  there's
• 36:02
  any
• 36:02
  right
• 36:02
  or
• 36:02
  wrong
• 36:03
  way.
• 36:03
  That's
• 36:04
  why
• 36:04
  we
• 36:04
  started
• 36:04
  with
• 36:05
  our
• 36:05
  soft
• 36:05
  cupboard
• 36:06
  first
• 36:06
  and
• 36:07
  took
• 36:08
  that
• 36:08
  approach.
• 36:08
  But
• 36:08
  I
• 36:09
  don't
• 36:09
  think
• 36:09
  there's
• 36:09
  a
• 36:10
  lot
• 36:10
  of
• 36:10
  people
• 36:10
  do
• 36:10
  start
• 36:11
  with
• 36:11
  the
• 36:11
  hardcover
• 36:12
  first
• 36:12
  and
• 36:12
  then
• 36:13
  take
• 36:13
  that
• 36:13
  approach.
• 36:14
  So
• 36:14
  it's
• 36:14
  just
• 36:15
  a
• 36:15
  different
• 36:15
  dynamic.
• 36:16
  But
• 36:16
  what
• 36:16
  you've
• 36:17
  done
• 36:17
  is
• 36:17
  quite
• 36:17
  interesting
• 36:18
  because
• 36:18
  you've
• 36:19
  taken
• 36:19
  it
• 36:19
  to
• 36:19
  another
• 36:20
  level
• 36:20
  in
• 36:20
  terms
• 36:21
  of
• 36:21
  how
• 36:21
  you're
• 36:21
  doing
• 36:22
  your
• 36:22
  distribution.
• 36:23
  Because
• 36:23
  a
• 36:24
  lot
• 36:24
  of
• 36:24
  people
• 36:24
  don't
• 36:25
  do
• 36:25
  offset
• 36:26
  printing
• 36:26
  anymore
• 36:27
  because
• 36:28
  of
• 36:28
  the
• 36:28
  simple
• 36:28
  fact
• 36:29
  that
• 36:29
  they
• 36:29
  don't
• 36:29
  want
• 36:29
  to
• 36:29
  tie
• 36:30
  up
• 36:30
  a
• 36:30
  lot
• 36:30
  of
• 36:31
  funds
• 36:32
  in
• 36:32
  having
• 36:32
  inventory.
• 36:33
  And
• 36:34
  I
• 36:34
  don't
• 36:34
  know
• 36:34
  what
• 36:35
  your
• 36:35
  minimum
• 36:35
  run
• 36:36
  was
• 36:36
  and
• 36:36
  how
• 36:37
  much
• 36:37
  inventory
• 36:37
  you're
• 36:38
  carrying.
• 36:38
  The
• 36:39
  minimum
• 36:39
  is
• 36:39
  500
• 36:40
  for
• 36:41
  the
• 36:41
  offset
• 36:41
  printing.
• 36:42
  And
• 36:43
  the
• 36:43
  company
• 36:44
  called
• 36:44
  IAPC.
• 36:45
  Okay,
• 36:45
  so
• 36:46
  it's
• 36:46
  IAPC.
• 36:47
  That's
• 36:48
  the
• 36:48
  company
• 36:48
  that
• 36:48
  I
• 36:49
  work
• 36:49
  with.
• 36:49
  There's
• 36:50
  other
• 36:50
  offset
• 36:50
  printing
• 36:51
  companies,
• 36:51
  but
• 36:52
  they're
• 36:52
  based
• 36:52
  out
• 36:52
  of
• 36:52
  New
• 36:52
  Jersey,
• 36:53
  so
• 36:54
  they
• 36:54
  have
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  warehouse
• 36:55
  in
• 36:55
  New
• 36:55
  Jersey
• 36:55
  and
• 36:56
  they
• 36:56
  warehouse
• 36:56
  your
• 36:56
  books
• 36:57
  and
• 36:57
  they
• 36:58
  mainly
• 36:58
  do
• 36:58
  the
• 36:58
  hardcover.
• 36:59
  But
• 36:59
  I
• 37:00
  will
• 37:00
  say
• 37:01
  the
• 37:01
  quality
• 37:02
  is
• 37:02
  outstanding.
• 37:03
  The
• 37:03
  quality
• 37:03
  is
• 37:04
  just
• 37:04
  outstanding.
• 37:04
  If
• 37:05
  you
• 37:05
  wanted
• 37:06
  books
• 37:07
  with
• 37:07
  very
• 37:07
  high
• 37:08
  quality,
• 37:08
  for
• 37:09
  whatever
• 37:09
  reason,
• 37:09
  there's.
• 37:10
  Whatever
• 37:10
  reason.
• 37:11
  Yeah,
• 37:11
  the
• 37:11
  offset
• 37:12
  is
• 37:12
  fantastic.
• 37:13
  I've
• 37:13
  seen
• 37:14
  ingramsparks
• 37:15
  the.
• 37:16
  They
• 37:16
  have
• 37:16
  different
• 37:16
  levels
• 37:17
  in
• 37:17
  ingramsparks
• 37:18
  the
• 37:18
  quality.
• 37:18
  Because
• 37:18
  I
• 37:18
  just
• 37:19
  did
• 37:19
  the
• 37:19
  ebook
• 37:19
  for
• 37:20
  the
• 37:20
  first
• 37:20
  one,
• 37:20
  and
• 37:21
  I
• 37:21
  think
• 37:21
  that
• 37:23
  they're
• 37:23
  very
• 37:23
  nice.
• 37:24
  I
• 37:24
  like
• 37:24
  it
• 37:24
  actually
• 37:25
  a
• 37:25
  lot.
• 37:26
  And.
• 37:26
  Yeah.
• 37:26
  And
• 37:27
  so
• 37:27
  the
• 37:27
  question
• 37:27
  has
• 37:28
  been
• 37:28
  on
• 37:28
  my
• 37:28
  mind,
• 37:30
  do
• 37:30
  kids
• 37:30
  even
• 37:30
  notice?
• 37:31
  And
• 37:31
  if
• 37:31
  they're
• 37:31
  going
• 37:32
  into
• 37:32
  schools
• 37:32
  and
• 37:33
  libraries
• 37:33
  and
• 37:33
  things
• 37:34
  like
• 37:34
  that,
• 37:34
  which
• 37:34
  I'm
• 37:35
  hope
• 37:36
  they're
• 37:36
  in
• 37:36
  every
• 37:36
  school
• 37:36
  and
• 37:36
  library,
• 37:37
  you
• 37:37
  bet.
• 37:38
  I
• 37:38
  don't
• 37:38
  think
• 37:38
  it
• 37:38
  matters.
• 37:39
  And
• 37:39
  so
• 37:40
  that's
• 37:40
  something
• 37:40
  I'm
• 37:41
  pondering.
• 37:41
  Absolutely.
• 37:42
  And
• 37:42
  it's
• 37:42
  a
• 37:43
  tough
• 37:43
  one
• 37:43
  because
• 37:43
  I
• 37:43
  talked
• 37:44
  to
• 37:44
  a
• 37:44
  gal
• 37:44
  from
• 37:45
  Oklahoma
• 37:46
  and
• 37:47
  she's
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  one
• 37:48
  who
• 37:48
  put
• 37:48
  me
• 37:48
  onto
• 37:49
  a
• 37:49
  website
• 37:49
  called
• 37:50
  madeinchina.com
• 37:52
  and
• 37:52
  she
• 37:52
  used
• 37:53
  that
• 37:54
  website
• 37:55
  to
• 37:55
  find
• 37:56
  a.
• 37:57
  A
• 37:57
  printer
• 37:58
  that's
• 37:59
  in
• 37:59
  China
• 37:59
  that
• 38:00
  does
• 38:00
  her
• 38:00
  hardcover
• 38:01
  books.
• 38:02
  And
• 38:02
  her
• 38:02
  minimum
• 38:03
  run,
• 38:03
  I
• 38:03
  think
• 38:03
  she
• 38:04
  said,
• 38:04
  was
• 38:04
  around
• 38:05
  500
• 38:05
  copies,
• 38:06
  but
• 38:06
  the
• 38:06
  price
• 38:07
  was
• 38:07
  very
• 38:07
  attractive.
• 38:08
  And
• 38:09
  she
• 38:09
  said
• 38:09
  the
• 38:09
  quality,
• 38:10
  because
• 38:10
  she
• 38:11
  actually
• 38:11
  tried
• 38:12
  two
• 38:12
  different
• 38:12
  companies
• 38:13
  and
• 38:14
  they
• 38:14
  sent
• 38:15
  her
• 38:15
  samples
• 38:15
  and
• 38:16
  she
• 38:16
  said
• 38:16
  the
• 38:17
  quality
• 38:17
  was
• 38:17
  outstanding
• 38:18
  and
• 38:19
  the
• 38:19
  price
• 38:19
  just
• 38:20
  made
• 38:20
  it
• 38:20
  a
• 38:20
  lot
• 38:20
  more
• 38:21
  attractive
• 38:21
  for
• 38:22
  her
• 38:22
  to
• 38:22
  start
• 38:23
  with
• 38:23
  the
• 38:23
  hardcover.
• 38:24
  And
• 38:24
  that's
• 38:24
  what
• 38:24
  she
• 38:24
  did.
• 38:25
  Just
• 38:25
  so
• 38:26
  our
• 38:26
  audience
• 38:27
  understands.
• 38:27
  So
• 38:28
  when
• 38:28
  someone
• 38:28
  goes
• 38:28
  to
• 38:29
  your
• 38:29
  website
• 38:30
  and
• 38:30
  they
• 38:30
  order
• 38:31
  Bell
• 38:32
  and
• 38:32
  the
• 38:32
  Bird,
• 38:33
  Explore
• 38:33
  Anger,
• 38:34
  for
• 38:34
  example,
• 38:36
  do
• 38:36
  you
• 38:36
  ship
• 38:37
  it
• 38:37
  directly
• 38:38
  or
• 38:38
  it
• 38:38
  comes
• 38:39
  from
• 38:39
  your
• 38:40
  distributor?
• 38:41
  Okay,
• 38:41
  that's
• 38:41
  a
• 38:41
  fantastic
• 38:42
  question.
• 38:44
  And
• 38:44
  first,
• 38:44
  my
• 38:45
  Amazon
• 38:45
  account
• 38:45
  is
• 38:46
  horrible.
• 38:46
  I
• 38:46
  will
• 38:46
  admit
• 38:47
  that,
• 38:47
  because
• 38:47
  it's
• 38:48
  a
• 38:48
  seller
• 38:48
  account,
• 38:48
  and
• 38:49
  that's
• 38:49
  on
• 38:49
  me.
• 38:50
  But
• 38:50
  now
• 38:50
  that
• 38:51
  I
• 38:51
  have
• 38:51
  a
• 38:51
  distributorship,
• 38:52
  I'll
• 38:52
  be
• 38:52
  able
• 38:52
  to
• 38:53
  go
• 38:53
  into
• 38:53
  a
• 38:53
  vendor
• 38:53
  account.
• 38:54
  So
• 38:54
  I
• 38:54
  don't
• 38:54
  even
• 38:54
  have
• 38:54
  to
• 38:55
  deal
• 38:55
  with
• 38:55
  Amazon
• 38:56
  myself.
• 38:57
  But
• 38:57
  just
• 38:57
  aside
• 38:58
  from
• 38:58
  that,
• 38:58
  because
• 38:58
  I
• 38:59
  know
• 38:59
  that
• 38:59
  my
• 38:59
  Amazon
• 39:00
  is.
• 39:00
  It
• 39:00
  says
• 39:00
  different
• 39:01
  things.
• 39:01
  The
• 39:01
  seller
• 39:02
  account
• 39:02
  is
• 39:02
  very
• 39:02
  difficult.
• 39:03
  But
• 39:03
  to
• 39:04
  answer
• 39:04
  your
• 39:04
  question,
• 39:04
  if
• 39:05
  they
• 39:05
  go
• 39:05
  on
• 39:05
  Amazon
• 39:06
  or
• 39:06
  my
• 39:06
  website,
• 39:07
  it
• 39:07
  goes
• 39:07
  directly
• 39:08
  to
• 39:08
  the
• 39:09
  warehouse
• 39:09
  and
• 39:10
  they
• 39:10
  fulfill
• 39:10
  the
• 39:10
  order
• 39:11
  and
• 39:11
  they
• 39:12
  package
• 39:12
  it
• 39:12
  up.
• 39:12
  And
• 39:12
  I've
• 39:13
  actually
• 39:13
  had
• 39:14
  emails
• 39:15
  from
• 39:15
  customers
• 39:15
  who've
• 39:16
  bought
• 39:16
  my
• 39:16
  book
• 39:16
  who
• 39:17
  have
• 39:17
  said,
• 39:17
  wow,
• 39:18
  I've
• 39:18
  never
• 39:18
  had
• 39:18
  a
• 39:18
  book
• 39:19
  shipped
• 39:19
  so
• 39:19
  nice
• 39:19
  to
• 39:20
  me.
• 39:20
  And
• 39:20
  they've
• 39:20
  sent
• 39:21
  me
• 39:21
  pictures
• 39:21
  and
• 39:21
  I
• 39:22
  was
• 39:22
  like,
• 39:22
  wow,
• 39:22
  this
• 39:22
  is
• 39:22
  nice.
• 39:24
  So
• 39:24
  they
• 39:24
  double
• 39:24
  bubble
• 39:25
  wrap
• 39:26
  and
• 39:26
  they
• 39:26
  package
• 39:27
  it
• 39:27
  and
• 39:28
  they
• 39:28
  mail
• 39:28
  it.
• 39:28
  So
• 39:29
  every
• 39:29
  order
• 39:30
  goes
• 39:30
  directly
• 39:30
  to
• 39:31
  them.
• 39:31
  I
• 39:32
  get
• 39:32
  an
• 39:32
  email
• 39:33
  of
• 39:34
  every
• 39:34
  order.
• 39:34
  So
• 39:34
  I
• 39:34
  just
• 39:35
  put
• 39:35
  it
• 39:35
  into
• 39:35
  a
• 39:35
  file
• 39:36
  so
• 39:36
  I
• 39:36
  can
• 39:36
  keep
• 39:36
  track.
• 39:37
  And
• 39:38
  Amazon,
• 39:39
  if
• 39:39
  it
• 39:39
  sells
• 39:40
  through
• 39:40
  Amazon,
• 39:40
  Amazon
• 39:41
  pays
• 39:41
  you,
• 39:43
  correct?
• 39:43
  It
• 39:44
  sells
• 39:44
  through
• 39:44
  Amazon,
• 39:45
  right?
• 39:45
  Exactly.
• 39:46
  And
• 39:46
  if
• 39:47
  it
• 39:47
  sells
• 39:47
  through
• 39:48
  your
• 39:48
  warehouse,
• 39:48
  through
• 39:49
  your
• 39:49
  website,
• 39:50
  of
• 39:50
  course
• 39:51
  you
• 39:51
  get
• 39:51
  the
• 39:52
  funds
• 39:53
  immediately
• 39:54
  and
• 39:54
  then
• 39:54
  you
• 39:54
  pay
• 39:55
  your
• 39:55
  distributor.
• 39:56
  Is
• 39:56
  that
• 39:56
  correct?
• 39:57
  That's
• 39:58
  right.
• 39:58
  I
• 39:58
  pay
• 39:58
  the
• 39:58
  fulfillment
• 39:59
  center.
• 39:59
  So
• 40:00
  that's
• 40:00
  another.
• 40:00
  See
• 40:00
  the
• 40:01
  definitions,
• 40:01
  right?
• 40:01
  There's
• 40:02
  so
• 40:02
  many.
• 40:03
  So
• 40:03
  they
• 40:03
  fulfill.
• 40:04
  So
• 40:04
  they
• 40:04
  warehouse,
• 40:05
  okay,
• 40:05
  and
• 40:06
  fulfill
• 40:06
  the
• 40:06
  orders.
• 40:07
  Picture,
• 40:07
  like
• 40:07
  this
• 40:08
  warehouse
• 40:08
  with
• 40:08
  my
• 40:09
  500
• 40:09
  books,
• 40:10
  like
• 40:10
  right
• 40:10
  there.
• 40:11
  And
• 40:11
  this
• 40:11
  person
• 40:12
  coming
• 40:12
  over,
• 40:12
  oh,
• 40:13
  here's
• 40:13
  an
• 40:13
  order.
• 40:13
  And
• 40:14
  then
• 40:14
  they
• 40:14
  nicely
• 40:14
  package
• 40:15
  it
• 40:15
  up
• 40:15
  and
• 40:15
  ship
• 40:16
  it
• 40:16
  out.
• 40:16
  Terrific.
• 40:17
  Thank
• 40:17
  you
• 40:17
  for
• 40:17
  sharing
• 40:17
  all
• 40:18
  that.
• 40:18
  Because
• 40:18
  it's
• 40:19
  just
• 40:19
  a
• 40:19
  different
• 40:20
  way
• 40:20
  of
• 40:20
  doing
• 40:20
  business.
• 40:21
  So
• 40:22
  I
• 40:22
  want
• 40:22
  to
• 40:22
  jump
• 40:23
  in
• 40:24
  because
• 40:24
  you
• 40:24
  talked
• 40:25
  about,
• 40:25
  almost
• 40:25
  affectionately,
• 40:27
  you
• 40:27
  talked
• 40:27
  about
• 40:28
  your
• 40:28
  illustrator.
• 40:29
  And
• 40:30
  I
• 40:30
  noticed
• 40:31
  your
• 40:31
  first
• 40:31
  two
• 40:31
  books,
• 40:32
  you're
• 40:32
  using
• 40:32
  the
• 40:32
  same
• 40:33
  illustrator.
• 40:33
  Are
• 40:34
  you
• 40:34
  using
• 40:34
  the
• 40:34
  same
• 40:35
  illustrator
• 40:35
  for
• 40:35
  all
• 40:36
  four
• 40:36
  books?
• 40:37
  Yes,
• 40:37
  I
• 40:38
  am.
• 40:38
  I
• 40:39
  contracted
• 40:39
  with
• 40:40
  Leah.
• 40:40
  Leah
• 40:41
  is
• 40:41
  my
• 40:41
  illustrator.
• 40:42
  And
• 40:42
  how
• 40:42
  did
• 40:42
  you
• 40:43
  find
• 40:43
  Leah?
• 40:43
  Because
• 40:43
  again,
• 40:44
  I
• 40:44
  tell
• 40:45
  you
• 40:45
  what
• 40:45
  happens,
• 40:46
  because
• 40:47
  again
• 40:47
  we're
• 40:48
  talking
• 40:48
  about
• 40:49
  you're
• 40:49
  the
• 40:49
  independent
• 40:50
  publisher,
• 40:51
  you're
• 40:51
  doing
• 40:52
  all
• 40:52
  the
• 40:53
  work,
• 40:53
  you
• 40:53
  found
• 40:53
  the
• 40:53
  editor,
• 40:54
  you've
• 40:54
  found
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  illustrator.
• 40:56
  I
• 40:56
  just
• 40:56
  want
• 40:57
  people
• 40:57
  to
• 40:57
  understand
• 40:58
  because
• 40:58
  my
• 40:58
  preference
• 40:59
  is
• 41:00
  to.
• 41:00
  If
• 41:00
  I
• 41:01
  can
• 41:01
  convince
• 41:01
  people.
• 41:02
  Being
• 41:02
  an
• 41:03
  independent
• 41:03
  publisher
• 41:04
  can
• 41:04
  be
• 41:04
  a
• 41:05
  lot
• 41:05
  of
• 41:05
  fun
• 41:05
  and
• 41:05
  it's
• 41:06
  not
• 41:06
  as
• 41:06
  difficult
• 41:07
  as
• 41:07
  sometimes
• 41:08
  you
• 41:08
  might
• 41:08
  think
• 41:08
  it
• 41:09
  is.
• 41:09
  Now,
• 41:09
  I'm
• 41:10
  not
• 41:10
  trying
• 41:10
  to
• 41:10
  dissuade
• 41:11
  anybody
• 41:11
  if
• 41:11
  they're
• 41:11
  happy
• 41:12
  with
• 41:12
  their
• 41:12
  self
• 41:13
  publishing
• 41:13
  company.
• 41:14
  You
• 41:15
  know
• 41:15
  what,
• 41:15
  there's
• 41:15
  a
• 41:15
  lot
• 41:15
  of
• 41:16
  great
• 41:16
  ones
• 41:16
  out
• 41:16
  there.
• 41:17
  Please
• 41:17
  use
• 41:17
  that.
• 41:18
  Tell
• 41:18
  us
• 41:18
  a
• 41:18
  bit
• 41:18
  about
• 41:19
  your
• 41:20

• 41:20
  how
• 41:21
  you
• 41:21
  found
• 41:21
  them
• 41:22
  and
• 41:23
  why
• 41:23
  are
• 41:23
  you
• 41:23
  developing
• 41:24
  this
• 41:24
  long
• 41:24
  term
• 41:25
  relationship.
• 41:26
  And
• 41:26
  also
• 41:26
  why
• 41:27
  are
• 41:27
  you
• 41:27
  giving
• 41:27
  them
• 41:27
  so
• 41:28
  much
• 41:28
  credit?
• 41:28
  Because
• 41:29
  I
• 41:29
  noticed
• 41:29
  on
• 41:29
  the
• 41:30
  back
• 41:30
  of
• 41:30
  your
• 41:30
  book
• 41:30
  you
• 41:31
  give
• 41:31
  them
• 41:31
  as
• 41:31
  much
• 41:32
  credit
• 41:32
  as
• 41:33
  you're
• 41:33
  giving
• 41:33
  yourself
• 41:34
  as
• 41:34
  the
• 41:35
  Authority.
• 41:35
  So
• 41:35
  tell
• 41:36
  us
• 41:36
  all
• 41:36
  about
• 41:36
  that.
• 41:37
  That's
• 41:38
  such
• 41:38
  a
• 41:38
  good
• 41:38
  question.
• 41:39
  So
• 41:39
  I
• 41:40
  feel
• 41:40
  like
• 41:41
  everything
• 41:41
  in
• 41:42
  my
• 41:42
  book
• 41:42
  series
• 41:42
  has
• 41:43
  a
• 41:43
  story.
• 41:44
  It's
• 41:44
  the
• 41:45
  story
• 41:45
  behind
• 41:45
  the
• 41:45
  story,
• 41:46
  right?
• 41:46
  Absolutely.
• 41:47
  That's
• 41:47
  what
• 41:47
  this
• 41:48
  is
• 41:48
  all
• 41:48
  about.
• 41:49
  And
• 41:49
  that's
• 41:50
  a
• 41:50
  fantastic
• 41:50
  thing
• 41:51
  about
• 41:51
  my
• 41:51
  book
• 41:51
  series.
• 41:52
  And
• 41:52
  every
• 41:52
  book,
• 41:52
  right.
• 41:53
  There's
• 41:53
  always
• 41:53
  a
• 41:53
  story
• 41:53
  behind
• 41:54
  it.
• 41:55
  So
• 41:55
  I
• 41:55
  was
• 41:56
  going
• 41:57
  through
• 41:57
  many
• 41:58
  illustrators.
• 41:58
  There's
• 41:59
  so
• 41:59
  many
• 42:00
  wonderful,
• 42:00
  fantastic
• 42:01
  illustrators
• 42:02
  out
• 42:02
  there.
• 42:03
  And
• 42:04
  I
• 42:04
  was
• 42:05
  going
• 42:05
  through
• 42:05
  the
• 42:05
  web
• 42:06
  and
• 42:06
  going
• 42:06
  through
• 42:07
  plethora
• 42:08
  of
• 42:08
  illustrators
• 42:09
  to
• 42:09
  see
• 42:09
  which
• 42:09
  one
• 42:10
  connects
• 42:10
  in
• 42:10
  my
• 42:11
  mind
• 42:11
  with
• 42:11
  what
• 42:12
  I'm
• 42:12
  envisioning
• 42:13
  with
• 42:13
  my
• 42:14
  book.
• 42:15
  And
• 42:16
  it
• 42:16
  took
• 42:17
  a
• 42:17
  good
• 42:18
  six,
• 42:19
  eight
• 42:19
  months
• 42:19
  to
• 42:20
  determine
• 42:20
  the
• 42:20
  illustrator
• 42:21
  for
• 42:21
  me.
• 42:22
  And
• 42:22
  I
• 42:23
  came
• 42:23
  across
• 42:23
  one
• 42:24
  that
• 42:24
  I
• 42:24
  connected
• 42:24
  with
• 42:25
  and
• 42:25
  I
• 42:25
  loved.
• 42:25
  She
• 42:26
  was
• 42:26
  from
• 42:26
  Scotland.
• 42:27
  Okay.
• 42:28
  And
• 42:28
  I.
• 42:29
  Her
• 42:29
  illustrations,
• 42:30
  I
• 42:30
  said,
• 42:30
  yes,
• 42:30
  these
• 42:31
  are.
• 42:31
  This
• 42:31
  is
• 42:32
  for
• 42:32
  my
• 42:32
  book
• 42:32
  series.
• 42:33
  Reached
• 42:34
  out
• 42:34
  to
• 42:34
  her
• 42:34
  agent
• 42:35
  because
• 42:35
  a
• 42:35
  lot
• 42:35
  of
• 42:35
  the
• 42:35
  illustrators
• 42:36
  have
• 42:36
  agents.
• 42:37
  Some
• 42:37
  illustrators
• 42:38
  don't
• 42:38
  have
• 42:38
  agents.
• 42:39
  They
• 42:39
  could
• 42:39
  be
• 42:39
  independent
• 42:40
  through
• 42:41
  Red
• 42:41
  Z
• 42:41
  or
• 42:42
  whatever
• 42:42
  and
• 42:42
  any
• 42:42
  independent
• 42:43
  site,
• 42:43
  right?
• 42:43
  Yeah.
• 42:44
  Or
• 42:44
  they
• 42:44
  have
• 42:44
  their
• 42:44
  own
• 42:45
  website.
• 42:45
  That's
• 42:45
  how
• 42:45
  we
• 42:46
  found
• 42:46
  our
• 42:46
  illustrator
• 42:47
  is
• 42:48
  I
• 42:48
  just
• 42:48
  happened
• 42:48
  to
• 42:49
  come
• 42:49
  upon
• 42:51
  his
• 42:51
  website
• 42:52
  and
• 42:53
  he's
• 42:53
  actually
• 42:54
  in
• 42:54
  the
• 42:54
  UK
• 42:55
  and
• 42:56
  but
• 42:56
  we
• 42:56
  hit
• 42:56
  it
• 42:57
  off
• 42:57
  and
• 42:57
  he
• 42:57
  was
• 42:58
  able
• 42:58
  to
• 42:58
  work
• 42:58
  with
• 42:58
  us
• 42:59
  and
• 42:59
  give
• 42:59
  us
• 43:00
  exactly
• 43:00
  what
• 43:00
  you're
• 43:01
  talking
• 43:01
  about.
• 43:01
  You
• 43:01
  know,
• 43:02
  I
• 43:02
  wanted.
• 43:02
  I
• 43:03
  wanted
• 43:03
  a
• 43:04
  hand
• 43:04
  drawn
• 43:05
  watercolor,
• 43:06
  like
• 43:06
  a
• 43:06
  hand
• 43:06
  drawn.
• 43:06
  I
• 43:07
  had
• 43:07
  a
• 43:07
  vision.
• 43:07
  So
• 43:08
  when
• 43:08
  you
• 43:08
  start
• 43:08
  writing
• 43:09
  a
• 43:09
  children's
• 43:10
  book,
• 43:10
  you
• 43:11
  should
• 43:11
  have
• 43:11
  a
• 43:11
  vision
• 43:12
  of
• 43:12
  what
• 43:12
  authors
• 43:14
  do
• 43:14
  you
• 43:15
  like,
• 43:16
  what
• 43:16
  authors
• 43:16
  from
• 43:17
  your
• 43:17
  own
• 43:17
  childhood
• 43:19
  have
• 43:19
  been
• 43:19
  kept
• 43:20
  with
• 43:20
  you,
• 43:20
  have
• 43:21
  stayed
• 43:21
  with
• 43:21
  you.
• 43:22
  And
• 43:23
  thinking
• 43:23
  about
• 43:24
  all
• 43:24
  the
• 43:24
  authors
• 43:25
  and
• 43:25
  books
• 43:25
  that
• 43:25
  I've
• 43:26
  read
• 43:26
  to
• 43:26
  my
• 43:26
  own
• 43:26
  children,
• 43:27
  many
• 43:27
  hundreds
• 43:28
  and
• 43:28
  hundreds.
• 43:29
  I
• 43:29
  wanted
• 43:30
  that
• 43:30
  kind
• 43:30
  of
• 43:30
  classic
• 43:32
  watercolor
• 43:33
  feel.
• 43:34
  And
• 43:35
  because
• 43:35
  they're
• 43:35
  pastor
• 43:36
  scenes,
• 43:36
  that's
• 43:37
  another
• 43:37
  reason.
• 43:38
  And
• 43:38
  so
• 43:39
  I
• 43:39
  found
• 43:39
  this
• 43:39
  illustrator
• 43:40
  in
• 43:40
  Scotland,
• 43:40
  reached
• 43:41
  out
• 43:41
  to
• 43:41
  the
• 43:41
  agent.
• 43:42
  The
• 43:42
  agent
• 43:42
  never
• 43:43
  reached
• 43:43
  back,
• 43:43
  but
• 43:44
  she
• 43:44
  reached
• 43:44
  back
• 43:45
  to
• 43:45
  me,
• 43:46
  illustrator
• 43:46
  and
• 43:46
  said.
• 43:46
  I'm
• 43:47
  sorry,
• 43:47
  how
• 43:47
  did
• 43:47
  you.
• 43:48
  Where
• 43:48
  did
• 43:48
  you
• 43:48
  find,
• 43:49
  like,
• 43:49
  how
• 43:49
  did
• 43:49
  you
• 43:50
  recognize.
• 43:51
  Did
• 43:51
  you
• 43:51
  see
• 43:51
  her
• 43:52
  work
• 43:52
  somewhere?
• 43:52
  And
• 43:53
  that's.
• 43:53
  And
• 43:53
  you
• 43:54
  said,
• 43:54
  ah,
• 43:55
  it's
• 43:55
  similar
• 43:56
  to
• 43:56
  what
• 43:56
  you
• 43:56
  did
• 43:57
  with
• 43:57
  the
• 43:57
  author
• 43:57
  with
• 43:58
  the
• 43:58
  plushie.
• 43:59
  So
• 43:59
  you
• 43:59
  did.
• 43:59
  Yes,
• 44:00
  there
• 44:00
  was
• 44:00
  a
• 44:00
  website
• 44:01
  and
• 44:01
  I'm
• 44:01
  trying
• 44:02
  to
• 44:02
  remember
• 44:02
  the
• 44:02
  name
• 44:02
  of
• 44:03
  it
• 44:03
  and
• 44:03
  it
• 44:04
  has
• 44:04
  all
• 44:04
  kinds
• 44:04
  of
• 44:05
  illustrators
• 44:05
  on
• 44:05
  this
• 44:06
  website.
• 44:06
  And
• 44:06
  I'm
• 44:06
  sorry
• 44:07
  that
• 44:07
  I
• 44:08
  cannot
• 44:08
  remember
• 44:09
  the
• 44:09
  name
• 44:09
  of
• 44:09
  the
• 44:09
  website,
• 44:09
  but
• 44:10
  there
• 44:10
  is
• 44:10
  a
• 44:10
  website
• 44:11
  I
• 44:11
  remember
• 44:11
  after
• 44:12
  the
• 44:12
  show.
• 44:12
  You
• 44:13
  can
• 44:13
  always
• 44:14
  send
• 44:14
  me
• 44:14
  that
• 44:14
  information
• 44:15
  and
• 44:15
  I'll
• 44:15
  put
• 44:16
  it
• 44:16
  in
• 44:16
  the
• 44:16
  show
• 44:16
  notes
• 44:16
  for
• 44:17
  sure.
• 44:18
  Definitely.
• 44:18
  I
• 44:18
  will
• 44:19
  definitely
• 44:19
  do
• 44:19
  that.
• 44:20
  So
• 44:20
  I
• 44:20
  contacted
• 44:21
  Her.
• 44:22
  I
• 44:22
  sent
• 44:22
  her
• 44:22
  an
• 44:22
  email
• 44:23
  and
• 44:23
  I
• 44:23
  contacted
• 44:23
  her
• 44:24
  and
• 44:24
  it
• 44:24
  copied
• 44:25
  her.
• 44:25
  Sent
• 44:25
  her
• 44:25
  agent
• 44:26
  an
• 44:26
  email
• 44:26
  and
• 44:27
  copied
• 44:27
  her.
• 44:28
  And
• 44:28
  she
• 44:28
  got
• 44:28
  back
• 44:29
  and
• 44:29
  said,
• 44:29
  it
• 44:29
  sounds
• 44:30
  fantastic,
• 44:30
  and
• 44:30
  I
• 44:31
  have
• 44:31
  to
• 44:31
  go
• 44:31
  through
• 44:31
  the
• 44:31
  agent.
• 44:32
  So
• 44:33
  waited.
• 44:33
  And
• 44:33
  I
• 44:34
  waited
• 44:34
  and
• 44:34
  waited
• 44:34
  for
• 44:34
  the
• 44:34
  agent,
• 44:35
  and
• 44:35
  we
• 44:35
  didn't
• 44:35
  hear
• 44:35
  back.
• 44:36
  And
• 44:36
  I
• 44:36
  thought,
• 44:36
  oh,
• 44:37
  goodness,
• 44:37
  what's
• 44:37
  going
• 44:37
  on
• 44:38
  here?
• 44:39
  And.
• 44:39
  And
• 44:40
  as
• 44:40
  fate
• 44:41
  would
• 44:41
  have
• 44:41
  it,
• 44:42
  there
• 44:42
  was
• 44:42
  an
• 44:43
  illustrator
• 44:44
  conference
• 44:45
  in
• 44:45
  New
• 44:45
  York
• 44:46
  City.
• 44:46
  Okay.
• 44:47
  In
• 44:47
  January
• 44:48
  of
• 44:48
  last
• 44:48
  year,
• 44:49
  year
• 44:49
  and
• 44:49
  a
• 44:49
  half
• 44:49
  ago.
• 44:50
  And
• 44:51
  now
• 44:52
  I
• 44:52
  also
• 44:52
  have.
• 44:53
  Just
• 44:53
  so
• 44:53
  your
• 44:54
  audience
• 44:54
  knows,
• 44:54
  I
• 44:54
  also
• 44:55
  have
• 44:55
  an
• 44:55
  art
• 44:55
  director.
• 44:56
  I
• 44:56
  have
• 44:56
  a
• 44:56
  woman
• 44:56
  in
• 44:57
  New
• 44:57
  York
• 44:57
  City
• 44:57
  who
• 44:58
  does
• 44:58
  like
• 44:59
  the
• 44:59
  art
• 44:59
  direction
• 45:00
  in
• 45:00
  the
• 45:00
  book.
• 45:01
  Okay.
• 45:02
  She's
• 45:02
  an
• 45:02
  art
• 45:02
  director,
• 45:02
  and
• 45:02
  she
• 45:03
  does
• 45:03
  placement,
• 45:04
  and
• 45:04
  so
• 45:04
  she
• 45:04
  does
• 45:05
  the
• 45:05
  book.
• 45:05
  Formatting,
• 45:06
  in
• 45:06
  other
• 45:06
  words.
• 45:06
  Yeah.
• 45:07
  She
• 45:07
  happened
• 45:08
  to
• 45:08
  be
• 45:08
  at
• 45:08
  this
• 45:08
  Illustrator
• 45:09
  conference,
• 45:10
  and
• 45:11
  Leah
• 45:11
  was
• 45:12
  there,
• 45:13
  and
• 45:13
  she
• 45:14
  sent
• 45:14
  me
• 45:14
  Leah's
• 45:15
  work
• 45:15
  in
• 45:15
  one
• 45:15
  look.
• 45:16
  And
• 45:16
  I
• 45:16
  said,
• 45:17
  that's
• 45:17
  the
• 45:17
  one.
• 45:17
  That
• 45:18
  is
• 45:18
  the
• 45:18
  one.
• 45:18
  So
• 45:19
  there
• 45:19
  was
• 45:19
  a
• 45:19
  reason
• 45:19
  why
• 45:20
  the
• 45:20
  other
• 45:21
  illustrator's
• 45:21
  agent
• 45:22
  didn't
• 45:23
  get
• 45:23
  back
• 45:23
  to
• 45:23
  me,
• 45:23
  because
• 45:24
  here
• 45:24
  comes
• 45:25
  Leah,
• 45:25
  and
• 45:26
  I
• 45:26
  thought,
• 45:26
  oh,
• 45:26
  my
• 45:26
  gosh,
• 45:27
  she's
• 45:27
  the
• 45:27
  one.
• 45:27
  And
• 45:28
  I
• 45:29
  reached
• 45:29
  out
• 45:29
  to
• 45:29
  her
• 45:30
  and,
• 45:30
  yes,
• 45:30
  absolutely,
• 45:31
  I
• 45:31
  want
• 45:31
  to
• 45:31
  do
• 45:32
  your
• 45:32
  book
• 45:33
  series.
• 45:33
  And
• 45:33
  then
• 45:33
  we
• 45:34
  drew
• 45:34
  up
• 45:34
  the
• 45:34
  contract,
• 45:34
  and
• 45:35
  so
• 45:35
  she's
• 45:35
  contracted
• 45:36
  to
• 45:36
  do
• 45:36
  the
• 45:36
  four,
• 45:38
  and
• 45:38
  hopefully
• 45:38
  more
• 45:39
  in
• 45:39
  the
• 45:39
  future.
• 45:40
  Oh,
• 45:40
  good.
• 45:41
  Fantastic.
• 45:41
  Fantastic.
• 45:42
  That
• 45:42
  leads
• 45:43
  me
• 45:43
  to
• 45:43
  my
• 45:43
  next
• 45:44
  question.
• 45:44
  So
• 45:44
  thank
• 45:45
  you
• 45:45
  for
• 45:45
  this
• 45:45
  segue.
• 45:46
  I
• 45:46
  noticed
• 45:47
  one
• 45:47
  unique
• 45:48
  technique
• 45:49
  you've
• 45:49
  talked
• 45:49
  about,
• 45:50
  dealing
• 45:50
  with
• 45:51
  anger
• 45:51
  and
• 45:52
  the
• 45:52
  use
• 45:52
  of
• 45:52
  the
• 45:53
  emotion
• 45:54
  wheel,
• 45:54
  which
• 45:55
  I
• 45:55
  love.
• 45:55
  And
• 45:56
  I
• 45:56
  noticed
• 45:57
  that
• 45:57
  the
• 45:57
  emotions
• 45:58
  are
• 45:58
  divided
• 45:58
  into
• 45:59
  six
• 45:59
  categories,
• 46:00
  much
• 46:01
  like
• 46:01
  a
• 46:01
  piece
• 46:01
  of
• 46:02
  piece.
• 46:03
  And
• 46:03
  so
• 46:04
  I
• 46:04
  just.
• 46:04
  So
• 46:04
  people
• 46:04
  can
• 46:05
  visualize
• 46:05
  it
• 46:06
  and
• 46:06
  tell
• 46:06
  us
• 46:07
  about
• 46:07
  this
• 46:08
  concept.
• 46:09
  How
• 46:09
  did
• 46:10
  you
• 46:10
  come
• 46:10
  up
• 46:10
  with
• 46:10
  it?
• 46:11
  And
• 46:11
  then
• 46:11
  your
• 46:11
  books
• 46:12
  are
• 46:12
  addressing
• 46:13
  each
• 46:14
  piece,
• 46:15
  but
• 46:15
  as
• 46:16
  you
• 46:16
  mentioned
• 46:16
  earlier,
• 46:17
  it
• 46:17
  looks
• 46:18
  like
• 46:18
  you've
• 46:18
  started
• 46:18
  with
• 46:19
  anger,
• 46:19
  then
• 46:19
  you're
• 46:20
  going
• 46:20
  to
• 46:20
  go
• 46:20
  to
• 46:20
  sadness,
• 46:21
  and
• 46:21
  then
• 46:22
  happiness,
• 46:23
  fear,
• 46:23
  and
• 46:24
  then
• 46:24
  there's
• 46:24
  two
• 46:24
  other
• 46:24
  emotions,
• 46:25
  surprise
• 46:26
  and
• 46:27
  disgust.
• 46:28
  I
• 46:28
  guess
• 46:28
  what
• 46:28
  I'm
• 46:28
  asking
• 46:29
  is
• 46:29
  give
• 46:29
  us
• 46:29
  the
• 46:30
  whole
• 46:30
  complete
• 46:31
  story
• 46:31
  behind
• 46:32
  that
• 46:32
  whole
• 46:33
  unique
• 46:33
  idea
• 46:34
  of
• 46:34
  the
• 46:34
  emotion
• 46:34
  wheel.
• 46:36
  Love
• 46:36
  that
• 46:36
  you
• 46:36
  asked
• 46:37
  that.
• 46:37
  That
• 46:37
  is
• 46:37
  just
• 46:38
  so
• 46:38
  fantastic.
• 46:39
  So
• 46:39
  the
• 46:40
  emotion
• 46:40
  wheel
• 46:40
  is
• 46:40
  not
• 46:40
  something
• 46:41
  new.
• 46:41
  And
• 46:42
  I
• 46:42
  didn't
• 46:42
  create
• 46:43
  the
• 46:43
  idea
• 46:43
  of
• 46:44
  the
• 46:44
  emotion
• 46:44
  wheel,
• 46:45
  but
• 46:45
  I
• 46:45
  did
• 46:45
  create
• 46:46
  the
• 46:46
  emotion
• 46:47
  wheel
• 46:47
  on
• 46:47
  my
• 46:47
  website.
• 46:48
  I
• 46:48
  specifically
• 46:49
  designed
• 46:49
  the
• 46:50
  feelings
• 46:51
  inside
• 46:51
  each
• 46:52
  slice.
• 46:52
  So,
• 46:53
  yes.
• 46:53
  So
• 46:53
  because
• 46:54
  Henry
• 46:54
  is
• 46:54
  so
• 46:54
  angry
• 46:55
  that
• 46:55
  he
• 46:55
  can't
• 46:56
  have
• 46:56
  a
• 46:56
  slice
• 46:56
  of
• 46:57
  pie,
• 46:58
  we
• 46:58
  can
• 46:58
  call
• 46:58
  the
• 46:59
  pieces
• 46:59
  of
• 46:59
  the
• 46:59
  emotion
• 47:00
  wheel
• 47:00
  a
• 47:01
  slice.
• 47:01
  So
• 47:01
  it
• 47:02
  does
• 47:02
  look
• 47:02
  like
• 47:02
  a
• 47:03
  pie.
• 47:03
  Either
• 47:04
  a
• 47:04
  pie
• 47:04
  or
• 47:04
  a
• 47:05
  pizza
• 47:05
  pie,
• 47:05
  whatever,
• 47:05
  but
• 47:06
  it's
• 47:06
  actual
• 47:06
  pie.
• 47:07
  So
• 47:07
  the
• 47:08
  idea
• 47:08
  Is
• 47:08
  So
• 47:08
  we
• 47:09
  use
• 47:09
  the
• 47:09
  emotion
• 47:09
  wheel
• 47:10
  in
• 47:10
  therapy.
• 47:12
  The
• 47:12
  emotion
• 47:12
  wheel.
• 47:13
  There's
• 47:13
  tons
• 47:14
  of
• 47:14
  emotional
• 47:15
  wheels
• 47:15
  out
• 47:16
  on
• 47:16
  the
• 47:16
  web.
• 47:17
  Okay.
• 47:18
  And
• 47:19
  over
• 47:19
  the
• 47:19
  years
• 47:19
  as
• 47:19
  a
• 47:20
  therapist,
• 47:20
  I
• 47:20
  never
• 47:21
  liked
• 47:21
  any
• 47:21
  of
• 47:22
  them.
• 47:22
  And
• 47:22
  I
• 47:23
  always
• 47:23
  would
• 47:23
  incorporate
• 47:24
  them
• 47:24
  with
• 47:24
  my
• 47:24
  adult
• 47:24
  clients.
• 47:25
  The
• 47:26
  adult
• 47:26
  clients
• 47:26
  love
• 47:26
  the
• 47:27
  emotion
• 47:27
  wheel.
• 47:27
  It
• 47:27
  gives
• 47:28
  them
• 47:28
  the
• 47:28
  words.
• 47:28
  So
• 47:28
  do
• 47:29
  the
• 47:29
  children.
• 47:29
  That's
• 47:29
  the
• 47:30
  point,
• 47:30
  is
• 47:30
  that
• 47:30
  we
• 47:30
  give
• 47:30
  them
• 47:31
  words,
• 47:31
  emotional
• 47:32
  literacy.
• 47:33
  We
• 47:33
  give
• 47:33
  them
• 47:33
  words
• 47:34
  to
• 47:34
  help
• 47:34
  them
• 47:35
  define
• 47:36
  what
• 47:36
  they're
• 47:37
  feeling.
• 47:38
  So
• 47:38
  the
• 47:38
  emotion
• 47:39
  wheel,
• 47:39
  as
• 47:39
  you
• 47:39
  said,
• 47:40
  it
• 47:40
  has
• 47:41
  the
• 47:41
  emotions
• 47:42
  in
• 47:42
  each
• 47:43
  of
• 47:43
  the
• 47:43
  slice.
• 47:44
  Then
• 47:44
  my
• 47:45
  wheel,
• 47:45
  that's
• 47:45
  available
• 47:46
  on
• 47:46
  my
• 47:46
  website,
• 47:46
  it's
• 47:47
  a
• 47:47
  free
• 47:47
  download.
• 47:48
  In
• 47:48
  the
• 47:49
  slices,
• 47:49
  I
• 47:50
  have
• 47:50
  feelings.
• 47:51
  So
• 47:51
  when
• 47:52
  you
• 47:52
  first
• 47:53
  experience
• 47:54
  an
• 47:54
  emotion
• 47:55
  like
• 47:56
  anger,
• 47:57
  that's
• 47:57
  a
• 47:57
  physiological
• 47:58
  feeling.
• 47:59
  That's
• 47:59
  something
• 48:00
  that
• 48:00
  your
• 48:00
  body
• 48:01
  first
• 48:01
  feels.
• 48:02
  And
• 48:02
  so
• 48:03
  in
• 48:03
  my
• 48:03
  books,
• 48:03
  I
• 48:04
  start
• 48:04
  with
• 48:05
  what
• 48:05
  we
• 48:05
  would
• 48:05
  call
• 48:05
  body
• 48:06
  cues.
• 48:07
  So
• 48:07
  that
• 48:07
  you
• 48:08
  become
• 48:08
  self
• 48:08
  aware
• 48:09
  of
• 48:10
  what
• 48:10
  you're
• 48:10
  feeling.
• 48:11
  And
• 48:11
  when
• 48:12
  you
• 48:12
  can
• 48:12
  define,
• 48:12
  like,
• 48:13
  you
• 48:13
  could
• 48:14
  understand
• 48:14
  that
• 48:15
  these
• 48:15
  feelings,
• 48:15
  like,
• 48:16
  oh,
• 48:16
  I'm
• 48:16
  clenching
• 48:16
  my
• 48:17
  fists
• 48:17
  or
• 48:18
  my
• 48:18
  teeth
• 48:18
  or
• 48:18
  my
• 48:18
  shoulders
• 48:19
  are
• 48:19
  up
• 48:19
  in
• 48:19
  my
• 48:20
  ears,
• 48:21
  that's
• 48:21
  important
• 48:22
  to
• 48:22
  define
• 48:22
  that.
• 48:24
  Now
• 48:24
  underneath
• 48:25
  each
• 48:25
  emotion,
• 48:26
  underneath
• 48:27
  picture
• 48:27
  and
• 48:28
  iceberg,
• 48:29
  and
• 48:29
  above
• 48:29
  the
• 48:29
  iceberg
• 48:30
  is
• 48:30
  the
• 48:30
  emotion.
• 48:32
  Underneath
• 48:32
  that
• 48:33
  are
• 48:34
  feelings,
• 48:36
  which
• 48:36
  with
• 48:36
  anger
• 48:37
  could
• 48:37
  be
• 48:38
  mad,
• 48:38
  something
• 48:39
  as
• 48:39
  simple
• 48:39
  as
• 48:40
  mad,
• 48:41
  like
• 48:41
  a
• 48:41
  scale.
• 48:42
  Okay.
• 48:43
  And
• 48:44
  something
• 48:44
  as
• 48:44
  large
• 48:45
  and
• 48:45
  big
• 48:45
  as
• 48:45
  furious.
• 48:47
  Okay.
• 48:48
  So
• 48:48
  there's
• 48:48
  lots
• 48:49
  of
• 48:49
  different
• 48:49
  feeling
• 48:50
  words.
• 48:51
  And
• 48:51
  I
• 48:51
  never
• 48:51
  liked
• 48:52
  any
• 48:52
  of
• 48:52
  the
• 48:53
  reels,
• 48:53
  I'm
• 48:53
  sorry
• 48:53
  to
• 48:54
  say,
• 48:54
  out
• 48:54
  on
• 48:54
  the
• 48:54
  web,
• 48:55
  because
• 48:55
  they
• 48:55
  didn't
• 48:56
  get
• 48:56
  the
• 48:56
  feelings
• 48:56
  correct.
• 48:57
  They
• 48:58
  weren't
• 48:58
  real
• 48:58
  feelings.
• 48:59
  They
• 48:59
  were
• 49:00
  just
• 49:00
  words
• 49:00
  that
• 49:00
  people
• 49:01
  created
• 49:02
  that
• 49:02
  they
• 49:02
  thought
• 49:03
  were
• 49:03
  feeling
• 49:03
  words,
• 49:04
  but
• 49:04
  they're
• 49:04
  not.
• 49:04
  And
• 49:04
  I
• 49:05
  did
• 49:05
  a
• 49:05
  lot
• 49:05
  of
• 49:05
  research,
• 49:06
  my
• 49:06
  background
• 49:07
  in
• 49:08
  education
• 49:08
  and
• 49:09
  as
• 49:09
  a
• 49:09
  therapist
• 49:10
  with
• 49:10
  the
• 49:11
  correct
• 49:12
  emotional
• 49:12
  literacy
• 49:13
  words
• 49:14
  for
• 49:14
  each
• 49:14
  of
• 49:15
  the
• 49:15
  slices,
• 49:16
  you
• 49:16
  start.
• 49:16
  With
• 49:17
  these
• 49:17
  four
• 49:18
  emotions
• 49:19
  first.
• 49:20
  Yeah,
• 49:21
  I
• 49:21
  felt
• 49:21
  first,
• 49:22
  like
• 49:22
  anger,
• 49:24
  like
• 49:24
  the
• 49:24
  world
• 49:24
  was
• 49:24
  very
• 49:24
  angry
• 49:25
  at
• 49:25
  the
• 49:25
  time
• 49:25
  when
• 49:25
  I
• 49:26
  first
• 49:26
  started
• 49:26
  writing.
• 49:26
  And
• 49:26
  I
• 49:27
  felt
• 49:27
  that
• 49:27
  was
• 49:27
  a
• 49:27
  really
• 49:28
  important
• 49:28
  emotion
• 49:29
  to
• 49:29
  begin
• 49:29
  with.
• 49:30
  Yeah,
• 49:30
  I
• 49:30
  think
• 49:30
  it's.
• 49:31
  It's
• 49:31
  an
• 49:31
  ongoing
• 49:32
  theme
• 49:32
  currently.
• 49:33
  Yeah,
• 49:33
  it
• 49:34
  is.
• 49:34
  It
• 49:34
  is
• 49:34
  ongoing.
• 49:36
  And
• 49:36
  then
• 49:36
  I.
• 49:37
  My
• 49:37
  second
• 49:37
  book,
• 49:38
  I
• 49:38
  decided
• 49:38
  on
• 49:38
  sadness,
• 49:39
  which
• 49:40
  is
• 49:40
  a
• 49:40
  sadness
• 49:40
  book,
• 49:41
  because
• 49:42
  I
• 49:42
  also
• 49:42
  felt
• 49:43
  that
• 49:43
  there's
• 49:44
  a
• 49:44
  lot
• 49:44
  of
• 49:44
  sadness
• 49:45
  in
• 49:45
  this
• 49:45
  world.
• 49:45
  There's
• 49:46
  a
• 49:46
  lot
• 49:46
  of
• 49:46
  hurt
• 49:47
  people
• 49:48
  and
• 49:49
  sad.
• 49:49
  So
• 49:50
  I
• 49:50
  wanted
• 49:51
  to
• 49:51
  focus
• 49:52
  on.
• 49:52
  On
• 49:53
  that
• 49:53
  as
• 49:53
  well,
• 49:54
  on
• 49:54
  the
• 49:54
  sadness.
• 49:55
  My
• 49:55
  third
• 49:55
  book
• 49:56
  is
• 49:56
  Happiness,
• 49:56
  which
• 49:57
  is
• 49:57
  a
• 49:57
  positive
• 49:57
  emotion,
• 49:58
  which
• 49:58
  is
• 49:58
  great
• 49:58
  because
• 49:59
  after
• 49:59
  the
• 49:59
  heaviness
• 50:00
  of
• 50:00
  anger
• 50:00
  and
• 50:00
  sadness,
• 50:01
  I
• 50:01
  was
• 50:01
  like,
• 50:01
  I
• 50:01
  gotta
• 50:01
  bring
• 50:02
  in
• 50:02
  happiness.
• 50:03
  Absolutely.
• 50:04
  And
• 50:04
  then
• 50:05
  I
• 50:06
  wanted,
• 50:06
  definitely
• 50:07
  wanted
• 50:07
  fear
• 50:08
  because
• 50:09
  there's
• 50:10
  a
• 50:10
  lot
• 50:10
  of
• 50:10
  anxious
• 50:11
  people.
• 50:11
  Anxiety
• 50:12
  is
• 50:12
  often
• 50:13
  behind
• 50:14
  Anxiety,
• 50:14
  it's
• 50:14
  fear.
• 50:15
  And
• 50:16
  so
• 50:16
  I
• 50:16
  wanted
• 50:17
  to
• 50:17
  make
• 50:18
  sure
• 50:18
  that
• 50:18
  I
• 50:18
  brought
• 50:19
  in
• 50:19
  the
• 50:19
  fear.
• 50:19
  And
• 50:19
  I
• 50:20
  started
• 50:20
  with
• 50:20
  four,
• 50:20
  because
• 50:20
  I
• 50:21
  want
• 50:21
  to
• 50:21
  see
• 50:21
  how
• 50:21
  they
• 50:21
  go.
• 50:22
  Okay,
• 50:22
  now
• 50:22
  surprise,
• 50:23
  like
• 50:23
  you
• 50:23
  mentioned,
• 50:24
  surprise
• 50:24
  and
• 50:25
  disgust.
• 50:25
  They
• 50:26
  are
• 50:26
  really
• 50:26
  just
• 50:27
  as
• 50:27
  important.
• 50:28
  And
• 50:29
  I've
• 50:30
  created
• 50:30
  stories
• 50:31
  in
• 50:31
  my
• 50:31
  mind
• 50:32
  on
• 50:32
  those
• 50:32
  two
• 50:33
  and
• 50:33
  hope
• 50:33
  that
• 50:33
  they
• 50:33
  come
• 50:34
  down
• 50:34
  the
• 50:34
  pike.
• 50:35
  Okay,
• 50:35
  I
• 50:35
  want
• 50:36
  to
• 50:36
  talk
• 50:36
  to
• 50:36
  you
• 50:36
  now
• 50:37
  about
• 50:37
  your
• 50:37
  website
• 50:38
  because
• 50:39
  it's
• 50:39
  interesting,
• 50:41
  everybody.
• 50:42
  When
• 50:42
  we
• 50:42
  first
• 50:42
  started,
• 50:44
  someone
• 50:44
  said
• 50:44
  to
• 50:45
  me,
• 50:45
  oh,
• 50:45
  where's
• 50:46
  your
• 50:46
  website?
• 50:46
  And
• 50:47
  I
• 50:47
  said,
• 50:47
  website,
• 50:48
  Because
• 50:48
  I
• 50:49
  just
• 50:49
  thought,
• 50:49
  okay,
• 50:49
  we'll
• 50:50
  just
• 50:50
  make
• 50:50
  sure
• 50:50
  we
• 50:50
  have
• 50:51
  distribution
• 50:51
  of
• 50:51
  our
• 50:52
  book.
• 50:52
  I
• 50:53
  soon
• 50:53
  realized
• 50:54
  we
• 50:54
  needed
• 50:54
  our
• 50:54
  own
• 50:55
  home
• 50:55
  for
• 50:56
  our
• 50:56
  books
• 50:56
  because
• 50:57
  we
• 50:57
  were
• 50:57
  building
• 50:57
  a
• 50:57
  book
• 50:58
  series
• 50:58
  and
• 50:58
  building
• 50:59
  it
• 50:59
  out
• 50:59
  and
• 50:59
  we
• 51:00
  had
• 51:00
  other
• 51:00
  ideas
• 51:01
  just
• 51:01
  like
• 51:01
  you
• 51:01
  have.
• 51:02
  And
• 51:02
  that's
• 51:02
  what
• 51:02
  I
• 51:02
  want
• 51:02
  to
• 51:02
  talk
• 51:03
  to
• 51:03
  you
• 51:03
  about.
• 51:03
  So,
• 51:04
  first
• 51:04
  of
• 51:04
  all,
• 51:05
  hats
• 51:05
  off
• 51:05
  to
• 51:05
  you
• 51:06
  with
• 51:06
  your
• 51:06
  website.
• 51:07
  It's
• 51:07
  a
• 51:07
  beautiful
• 51:07
  website,
• 51:09
  and
• 51:09
  the
• 51:10
  thing
• 51:10
  I
• 51:10
  like
• 51:10
  about
• 51:10
  it
• 51:11
  is
• 51:11
  that
• 51:11
  you've
• 51:12
  combined
• 51:12
  fun
• 51:13
  and
• 51:14
  educational
• 51:15
  elements
• 51:15
  together.
• 51:16
  So
• 51:17
  tell
• 51:17
  us
• 51:17
  about
• 51:17
  the
• 51:18
  fun
• 51:18
  stuff
• 51:19
  tab.
• 51:19
  I
• 51:19
  just
• 51:19
  love
• 51:20
  that.
• 51:20
  So
• 51:20
  tell
• 51:21
  us
• 51:21
  about
• 51:21
  that.
• 51:22
  Yeah,
• 51:23
  you
• 51:23
  said
• 51:23
  I
• 51:23
  wanted
• 51:24
  something
• 51:24
  fun,
• 51:25
  and
• 51:25
  it
• 51:25
  mimics
• 51:26
  the
• 51:26
  books,
• 51:26
  which
• 51:27
  are
• 51:27
  fun
• 51:27
  and
• 51:28
  educational.
• 51:29
  So
• 51:29
  I
• 51:29
  wanted
• 51:30
  to
• 51:30
  marry
• 51:30
  them
• 51:31
  together.
• 51:31
  And
• 51:31
  I
• 51:31
  do.
• 51:32
  I'm
• 51:32
  so
• 51:32
  glad
• 51:32
  that
• 51:32
  you
• 51:33
  noticed
• 51:33
  the
• 51:33
  website
• 51:33
  in
• 51:34
  that
• 51:34
  you
• 51:34
  thought

  the
• 51:35
  website
• 51:35
  is
• 51:36
  fabulous.
• 51:36
  I
• 51:36
  think
• 51:36
  the

  website
• 51:37
  is

  just

  so

  And
• 51:40
  it's
• 51:40
  a
• 51:40
  tricky
• 51:40
  thing
• 51:41
  with
• 51:41
  websites,
• 51:41
  right,
• 51:41
  because
• 51:42
  do
• 51:42
  people
• 51:42
  go
• 51:42
  on
• 51:43
  them?

• 52:14
  with
• 52:14
  the
• 52:14
  American
• 52:15
  government.
• 52:15
  And
• 52:16
  so
• 52:16
  you
• 52:16
  don't
• 52:17
  know
• 52:17
  what
• 52:17
  happens
• 52:18
  to
• 52:18
  all
• 52:18
  of
• 52:18
  those
• 52:19
  followers
• 52:20
  that
• 52:20
  you
• 52:20
  built.
• 52:21
  They
• 52:21
  could
• 52:21
  disappear
• 52:22
  overnight.
• 52:23
  But
• 52:23
  through
• 52:23
  your
• 52:23
  own
• 52:24
  mailing
• 52:24
  list
• 52:24
  and
• 52:24
  through
• 52:25
  your

  own

• 52:26
  those
• 52:26
  are
• 52:26
  your
• 52:26
  treasured
• 52:28
  assets.
• 52:29
  And
• 52:29
  so,
• 52:30
  so
• 52:30
  true
• 52:31
  to
• 52:31
  your
• 52:31
  point,
• 52:32
  how
• 52:32
  do
• 52:32
  you
• 52:33
  get
• 52:33
  someone
• 52:33
  to
• 52:34
  give
• 52:34
  freely
• 52:35
  of
• 52:35
  their
• 52:35
  email
• 52:36
  address?
• 52:37
  Oh,
• 52:37
  it's
• 52:38
  tough,
• 52:38
  right?
• 52:38
  I
• 52:38
  had
• 52:39
  my
• 52:39
  website
• 52:40
  person
• 52:41
  put
• 52:41
  up.
• 52:42
  I
• 52:43
  emailed
• 52:43
  her
• 52:43
  and
• 52:43
  said,
• 52:43
  you
• 52:44
  need
• 52:44
  to
• 52:44
  put
• 52:44
  up
• 52:44
  that.
• 52:44
  I
• 52:45
  don't
• 52:45
  know
• 52:45
  if
• 52:45
  you.
• 52:45
  When
• 52:45
  you,
• 52:45
  if
• 52:45
  you
• 52:46
  notice
• 52:46
  when
• 52:46
  you
• 52:46
  go
• 52:46
  on,
• 52:46
  it
• 52:47
  says
• 52:47
  join
• 52:47
  the
• 52:47
  emotion
• 52:48
  Explorers
• 52:48
  Club.
• 52:49
  I
• 52:49
  had
• 52:49
  her
• 52:49
  put
• 52:49
  that
• 52:50
  up
• 52:50
  because
• 52:51
  the
• 52:52
  subscribing
• 52:52
  thing
• 52:52
  is
• 52:53
  way
• 52:53
  down
• 52:53
  at
• 52:54
  the
• 52:54
  bottom.
• 52:54
  Correct.
• 52:55
  So
• 52:55
  the
• 52:56
  pop
• 52:56
  up.
• 52:57
  Yeah,
• 52:57
  the
• 52:57
  pop
• 52:57
  up.
• 52:57
  It's
• 52:58
  a
• 52:58
  learning
• 52:58
  process,
• 52:59
  I
• 52:59
  tell
• 52:59
  you.
• 52:59
  You're
• 53:00
  always
• 53:00
  learning.
• 53:01
  Because
• 53:01
  now
• 53:01
  I
• 53:01
  just
• 53:02
  learned
• 53:02
  yesterday
• 53:03
  actually
• 53:03
  through
• 53:04
  somebody
• 53:04
  that
• 53:05
  when
• 53:06
  you
• 53:06
  go
• 53:06
  to
• 53:06
  my
• 53:06
  website,
• 53:07
  it
• 53:07
  has
• 53:07
  that
• 53:07
  pop
• 53:07
  up,
• 53:08
  which
• 53:08
  is
• 53:08
  great.
• 53:09
  And
• 53:10
  I
• 53:10
  had
• 53:10
  my
• 53:10
  website
• 53:10
  person
• 53:11
  put
• 53:11
  my
• 53:11
  first
• 53:12
  book
• 53:12
  right
• 53:13
  there
• 53:13
  on
• 53:14
  the
• 53:14
  front
• 53:15
  because
• 53:15
  people
• 53:15
  do
• 53:16
  not
• 53:16
  want
• 53:16
  to
• 53:16
  click
• 53:16
  and
• 53:17
  click
• 53:17
  and
• 53:17
  click.
• 53:17
  We
• 53:18
  want
• 53:18
  it
• 53:18
  right
• 53:19
  there
• 53:19
  and
• 53:20
  really
• 53:20
  easy
• 53:20
  to
• 53:21
  access.
• 53:22
  So
• 53:22
  it
• 53:22
  used
• 53:22
  to
• 53:22
  be
• 53:23
  on
• 53:23
  my
• 53:23
  book
• 53:23
  and
• 53:23
  shop
• 53:24
  page,
• 53:24
  which
• 53:24
  it
• 53:24
  still
• 53:24
  is,
• 53:25
  but
• 53:25
  it's
• 53:25
  right
• 53:25
  there
• 53:26
  as
• 53:26
  well.
• 53:27
  So
• 53:27
  when
• 53:27
  you
• 53:27
  go
• 53:28
  to
• 53:28
  that,
• 53:28
  it
• 53:28
  should
• 53:28
  be
• 53:29
  just
• 53:29
  one
• 53:29
  click
• 53:29
  and
• 53:30
  they
• 53:30
  could
• 53:30
  buy.
• 53:30
  And
• 53:31
  then
• 53:31
  she
• 53:31
  added
• 53:31
  the
• 53:31
  second
• 53:32
  book.
• 53:32
  But
• 53:33
  I
• 53:33
  found
• 53:33
  out
• 53:34
  yesterday
• 53:34
  that
• 53:34
  I
• 53:35
  should
• 53:35
  have
• 53:35
  a
• 53:35
  products
• 53:36
  page
• 53:36
  instead
• 53:37
  of
• 53:37
  the
• 53:37
  books
• 53:37
  and
• 53:37
  shop,
• 53:38
  where
• 53:38
  they
• 53:39
  click
• 53:39
  on
• 53:39
  the
• 53:39
  book
• 53:39
  and
• 53:40
  it
• 53:40
  brings
• 53:40
  it
• 53:41
  to
• 53:41
  a
• 53:41
  products
• 53:41
  page.
• 53:42
  So
• 53:43
  if
• 53:43
  you
• 53:43
  go
• 53:43
  on
• 53:43
  to,
• 53:44
  I
• 53:44
  don't
• 53:44
  know,
• 53:44
  clothing
• 53:45
  store,
• 53:45
  they
• 53:45
  have
• 53:45
  like
• 53:46
  that
• 53:46
  you
• 53:46
  click
• 53:46
  on
• 53:47
  a
• 53:47
  pair
• 53:47
  of
• 53:47
  pants
• 53:47
  and
• 53:48
  it.
• 53:48
  Yeah.
• 53:49
  So
• 53:49
  I'm
• 53:49
  going
• 53:49
  to
• 53:49
  start
• 53:49
  working
• 53:50
  on
• 53:50
  that.
• 53:50
  But
• 53:51
  back
• 53:51
  to
• 53:51
  your
• 53:51
  question.
• 53:51
  I'm
• 53:51
  sorry
• 53:52
  about
• 53:52
  the
• 53:52
  activities.
• 53:53
  Yeah.
• 53:53
  The
• 53:54
  fun
• 53:54
  downloads.
• 53:55
  I
• 53:55
  think
• 53:56
  as
• 53:56
  a
• 53:56
  children's
• 53:57
  book
• 53:57
  author,
• 53:57
  everyone
• 53:58
  should
• 53:58
  have
• 53:58
  some
• 53:58
  downloads.
• 53:59
  Something
• 54:00
  fun
• 54:00
  that
• 54:00
  you
• 54:01
  can
• 54:01
  give
• 54:01
  your
• 54:01
  audience
• 54:02
  for
• 54:02
  free
• 54:03
  just
• 54:04
  to
• 54:04
  bring
• 54:05
  them
• 54:05
  in.
• 54:05
  And
• 54:05
  it's
• 54:06
  part
• 54:06
  of
• 54:06
  this
• 54:06
  series
• 54:06
  and
• 54:07
  help
• 54:07
  them
• 54:07
  understand
• 54:08
  that
• 54:08
  they
• 54:08
  also
• 54:09
  are
• 54:09
  part
• 54:09
  of
• 54:09
  this
• 54:10
  children's
• 54:10
  book
• 54:10
  series.
• 54:11
  Good
• 54:11
  for
• 54:11
  you.
• 54:12
  Social
• 54:13
  media.
• 54:13
  Talk
• 54:14
  to
• 54:14
  us
• 54:14
  a
• 54:14
  little
• 54:14
  bit
• 54:14
  about
• 54:15
  your
• 54:16
  social
• 54:16
  media.
• 54:17
  Do
• 54:18
  you
• 54:18
  have
• 54:18
  a
• 54:18
  plan
• 54:19
  to
• 54:19
  build
• 54:20
  out
• 54:20
  your
• 54:20
  social
• 54:20
  media?
• 54:21
  Talk
• 54:22
  to
• 54:22
  us
• 54:22
  about
• 54:22
  that.
• 54:22
  That's
• 54:23
  another
• 54:23
  great
• 54:24
  question.
• 54:24
  Okay,
• 54:25
  so
• 54:25
  I
• 54:25
  am
• 54:25
  not
• 54:26
  a
• 54:26
  social
• 54:26
  media
• 54:27
  person.
• 54:28
  So
• 54:29
  that's
• 54:29
  a
• 54:29
  problem
• 54:30
  because
• 54:31
  that
• 54:31
  is
• 54:31
  where
• 54:32
  you
• 54:32
  build
• 54:32
  your
• 54:33
  audience.
• 54:34
  But
• 54:34
  I'm
• 54:34
  just
• 54:35
  not
• 54:35
  at
• 54:35
  Instagram,
• 54:36
  TikTok
• 54:36
  and
• 54:37
  Facebook.
• 54:37
  I'm
• 54:37
  just
• 54:38
  not.
• 54:38
  And
• 54:38
  so
• 54:39
  the
• 54:39
  last
• 54:39
  three
• 54:40
  months,
• 54:40
  four
• 54:40
  months,
• 54:41
  I
• 54:41
  created
• 54:42
  my
• 54:42
  social
• 54:42
  media.
• 54:44
  Wow.
• 54:44
  Can
• 54:44
  social
• 54:45
  media
• 54:45
  be
• 54:45
  time
• 54:46
  consuming?
• 54:46
  So
• 54:47
  I
• 54:47
  am
• 54:48
  not
• 54:48
  very
• 54:48
  good
• 54:49
  at
• 54:49
  it.
• 54:49
  But
• 54:50
  thankfully
• 54:51
  there
• 54:51
  are
• 54:51
  lots
• 54:52
  of
• 54:52
  social
• 54:52
  media
• 54:52
  content
• 54:53
  people
• 54:53
  out
• 54:53
  there
• 54:53
  who
• 54:53
  are.
• 54:54
  Right.
• 54:54
  I
• 54:55
  have
• 54:55
  hired
• 54:55
  someone
• 54:56
  to
• 54:56
  do
• 54:56
  my
• 54:56
  social
• 54:56
  media
• 54:57
  with
• 54:58
  me.
• 54:58
  Obviously
• 54:58
  involved.
• 54:59
  You're
• 54:59
  involved
• 54:59
  because
• 54:59
  you're
• 55:00
  involved
• 55:00
  in
• 55:00
  the
• 55:00
  content
• 55:01
  and
• 55:01
  what
• 55:01
  they
• 55:01
  put
• 55:01
  out
• 55:02
  there.
• 55:02
  You
• 55:02
  want
• 55:02
  to
• 55:02
  be.
• 55:03
  There
• 55:03
  are
• 55:04
  places
• 55:04
  I
• 55:04
  was
• 55:05
  talking
• 55:05
  to
• 55:06
  Book
• 55:06
  Brush,
• 55:08
  Book
• 55:08
  Rush.
• 55:08
  Okay.
• 55:09
  And
• 55:09
  they
• 55:09
  do
• 55:09
  social
• 55:10
  media.
• 55:11
  Fantastic
• 55:11
  company.
• 55:12
  Very
• 55:12
  reasonable
• 55:13
  to
• 55:13
  implement
• 55:14
  postings.
• 55:15
  They
• 55:15
  do
• 55:16
  six
• 55:16
  postings
• 55:16
  a
• 55:17
  week
• 55:18
  and
• 55:19
  they're
• 55:19
  very
• 55:19
  reasonable.
• 55:20
  So
• 55:20
  they
• 55:20
  can
• 55:21
  do
• 55:21
  social
• 55:21
  media
• 55:22
  long
• 55:23
  term.
• 55:23
  I
• 55:24
  know
• 55:24
  social
• 55:24
  media
• 55:24
  is
• 55:25
  the
• 55:25
  avenue.
• 55:25
  That's
• 55:26
  where
• 55:26
  you're
• 55:26
  going
• 55:26
  to
• 55:26
  build
• 55:26
  it
• 55:27
  up.
• 55:27
  So
• 55:27
  how
• 55:28
  do
• 55:28
  you
• 55:28
  get
• 55:28
  people
• 55:28
  to
• 55:29
  come
• 55:29
  to
• 55:29
  your
• 55:29
  page
• 55:29
  and
• 55:29
  do
• 55:30
  all
• 55:30
  of
• 55:30
  that?
• 55:31
  I
• 55:31
  think
• 55:31
  there's
• 55:31
  a
• 55:32
  lot
• 55:32
  of
• 55:32
  behind
• 55:32
  the
• 55:33
  scenes
• 55:33
  that
• 55:33
  happen
• 55:34
  behind
• 55:34
  the
• 55:35
  algorithms
• 55:35
  and
• 55:36
  all
• 55:36
  of
• 55:36
  that.
• 55:36
  And
• 55:36
  I'm
• 55:36
  starting
• 55:37
  to
• 55:37
  learn
• 55:37
  about
• 55:37
  that.
• 55:38
  One
• 55:38
  thing
• 55:38
  I
• 55:38
  would
• 55:39
  recommend
• 55:39
  for
• 55:40
  you,
• 55:40
  and
• 55:41
  this
• 55:41
  is
• 55:42
  where
• 55:42
  I'm
• 55:42
  getting
• 55:42
  the
• 55:43
  most
• 55:43
  traction,
• 55:44
  is
• 55:45
  I'm
• 55:45
  just
• 55:45
  like
• 55:45
  you
• 55:46
  when
• 55:46
  it
• 55:46
  comes
• 55:46
  to
• 55:47
  Instagram
• 55:47
  and
• 55:48
  Facebook,
• 55:48
  and
• 55:49
  I'm
• 55:49
  slowly
• 55:50
  building
• 55:50
  a
• 55:50
  following,
• 55:51
  but
• 55:51
  it's
• 55:51
  not
• 55:52
  the
• 55:52
  easiest
• 55:52
  thing.
• 55:53
  But
• 55:53
  one
• 55:53
  thing
• 55:54
  that,
• 55:54
  because
• 55:54
  I
• 55:55
  had
• 55:55
  a
• 55:55
  professional
• 55:56
  career
• 55:56
  for
• 55:57
  30
• 55:57
  years
• 55:58
  is
• 55:58
  I
• 55:58
  always
• 55:59
  had
• 55:59
  a
• 55:59
  very
• 56:00
  good
• 56:01
  LinkedIn
• 56:02
  page.
• 56:03
  The
• 56:04
  interesting
• 56:04
  thing
• 56:05
  about
• 56:05
  LinkedIn
• 56:06
  is
• 56:06
  you
• 56:07
  can
• 56:07
  join
• 56:07
  groups
• 56:09
  and
• 56:09
  I
• 56:10
  know
• 56:10
  you're
• 56:10
  trying
• 56:10
  to
• 56:11
  reach
• 56:12
  educators.
• 56:13
  And
• 56:13
  one
• 56:14
  of
• 56:14
  the
• 56:14
  groups
• 56:14
  that
• 56:14
  I
• 56:14
  joined
• 56:15
  was
• 56:15
  principals
• 56:16
  and
• 56:16
  teachers,
• 56:17
  a
• 56:17
  very
• 56:17
  large
• 56:18
  group
• 56:18
  on
• 56:19
  LinkedIn.
• 56:21
  And
• 56:22
  when
• 56:22
  I
• 56:23
  could
• 56:23
  tell
• 56:23
  from
• 56:23
  the
• 56:23
  clicks
• 56:24
  I
• 56:24
  get,
• 56:24
  because
• 56:25
  you
• 56:25
  can
• 56:25
  see
• 56:26
  who's
• 56:27
  engaging
• 56:28
  with
• 56:28
  my
• 56:29
  posts.
• 56:29
  Because
• 56:30
  what
• 56:30
  I
• 56:31
  do
• 56:31
  is
• 56:31
  I
• 56:31
  always
• 56:31
  do
• 56:31
  a
• 56:32
  post
• 56:32
  and
• 56:32
  I
• 56:32
  put
• 56:33
  it
• 56:33
  on
• 56:34
  about
• 56:34
  five
• 56:34
  or
• 56:34
  six
• 56:35
  different
• 56:35
  LinkedIn
• 56:35
  groups
• 56:36
  of
• 56:36
  this
• 56:37
  episode.
• 56:37
  So
• 56:38
  you're
• 56:38
  going
• 56:38
  to
• 56:38
  find
• 56:38
  that
• 56:39
  there'll
• 56:39
  be
• 56:39
  a
• 56:39
  post
• 56:40
  and
• 56:40
  a
• 56:40
  link
• 56:41
  to
• 56:41
  this
• 56:41
  episode,
• 56:42
  but
• 56:42
  I
• 56:42
  also
• 56:42
  do
• 56:42
  a
• 56:43
  blog
• 56:43
  post.
• 56:44
  What
• 56:44
  happens
• 56:44
  is
• 56:45
  a
• 56:45
  lot
• 56:45
  of
• 56:45
  us
• 56:45
  get
• 56:46
  engaged
• 56:46
  with
• 56:47
  other
• 56:47
  authors,
• 56:48
  but
• 56:48
  at
• 56:49
  the
• 56:49
  end
• 56:49
  of
• 56:49
  the
• 56:49
  day,
• 56:49
  I
• 56:49
  can't
• 56:50
  expect
• 56:50
  that
• 56:50
  all
• 56:51
  my
• 56:51
  author
• 56:52
  friends
• 56:52
  and
• 56:52
  my
• 56:52
  author
• 56:53
  community
• 56:54
  are
• 56:54
  going
• 56:54
  to
• 56:54
  buy
• 56:54
  my
• 56:55
  book,
• 56:55
  nor
• 56:55
  would
• 56:56
  they
• 56:56
  expect
• 56:56
  me
• 56:56
  to
• 56:56
  buy
• 56:57
  their
• 56:57
  book.
• 56:57
  And
• 56:58
  so
• 56:58
  if
• 56:58
  you're
• 56:59
  speaking
• 56:59
  to
• 56:59
  people
• 56:59
  who
• 57:00
  aren't,
• 57:01
  a
• 57:01
  lot
• 57:01
  of
• 57:01
  times
• 57:01
  we're
• 57:02
  speaking
• 57:02
  to
• 57:02
  that
• 57:02
  audience,
• 57:03
  but
• 57:04
  they're
• 57:04
  part
• 57:04
  of
• 57:04
  your
• 57:05
  support
• 57:05
  group.
• 57:06
  They're
• 57:06
  not
• 57:06
  really
• 57:07
  your
• 57:08
  customer.
• 57:09
  Right.
• 57:10
  Yeah.
• 57:10
  Who
• 57:10
  is
• 57:10
  your
• 57:10
  audience?
• 57:11
  Right.
• 57:12
  So
• 57:12
  for
• 57:12
  you
• 57:13
  as
• 57:13
  an
• 57:13
  educator
• 57:14
  and
• 57:14
  for
• 57:14
  what
• 57:14
  you're
• 57:14
  trying
• 57:15
  to
• 57:15
  achieve,
• 57:16
  I
• 57:16
  would
• 57:16
  certainly
• 57:17
  look
• 57:18
  for
• 57:18
  children's
• 57:20
  influencers,
• 57:21
  like
• 57:21
  principals
• 57:22
  and
• 57:22
  teachers
• 57:22
  groups
• 57:23
  on
• 57:23
  LinkedIn
• 57:24
  and
• 57:25
  start
• 57:25
  doing
• 57:25
  some
• 57:25
  blog
• 57:26
  posts
• 57:26
  to
• 57:27
  attract
• 57:27
  them
• 57:27
  to
• 57:27
  your
• 57:28
  book
• 57:28
  series.
• 57:29
  I
• 57:29
  think
• 57:29
  you
• 57:29
  might
• 57:29
  have
• 57:30
  better
• 57:30
  success
• 57:31
  because
• 57:31
  of
• 57:31
  your
• 57:32
  curriculum
• 57:33
  and
• 57:33
  what
• 57:33
  you're.
• 57:34
  That's
• 57:34
  fantastic.
• 57:35
  Yeah,
• 57:35
  I
• 57:36
  know
• 57:36
  you
• 57:36
  could
• 57:36
  see
• 57:36
  that
• 57:37
  from
• 57:37
  my
• 57:37
  LinkedIn.
• 57:37
  That's
• 57:38
  something
• 57:38
  very
• 57:38
  new,
• 57:38
  too.
• 57:39
  I've
• 57:39
  never
• 57:39
  had
• 57:39
  a
• 57:40
  LinkedIn
• 57:40
  page.
• 57:41
  Right.
• 57:41
  And
• 57:41
  this
• 57:41
  is
• 57:42
  a
• 57:42
  good
• 57:42
  chance.
• 57:43
  I
• 57:43
  would
• 57:43
  suggest
• 57:43
  to
• 57:44
  you
• 57:44
  get.
• 57:44
  You
• 57:45
  get
• 57:45
  the
• 57:45
  company
• 57:45
  that
• 57:46
  you're
• 57:46
  hiring.
• 57:47
  You
• 57:47
  said
• 57:47
  a
• 57:47
  book
• 57:48
  brush.
• 57:49
  That's
• 57:49
  one
• 57:49
  that
• 57:50
  I
• 57:50
  looked
• 57:50
  at.
• 57:50
  Yes.
• 57:51
  So
• 57:51
  anyways,
• 57:52
  have
• 57:52
  them
• 57:53
  do
• 57:53
  the
• 57:53
  Facebook,
• 57:55
  Instagram,
• 57:56
  TikTok,
• 57:57
  because
• 57:57
  you're
• 57:58
  a
• 57:58
  professional
• 57:59
  now.
• 57:59
  This
• 57:59
  is
• 57:59
  just
• 57:59
  a
• 58:00
  recommendation.
• 58:01
  If
• 58:01
  I
• 58:01
  were
• 58:01
  you,
• 58:02
  I
• 58:02
  would
• 58:02
  work
• 58:03
  on
• 58:03
  your
• 58:03
  LinkedIn
• 58:05
  on
• 58:05
  your
• 58:05
  own.
• 58:05
  Don't
• 58:06
  let
• 58:06
  somebody
• 58:06
  else
• 58:07
  handle
• 58:07
  it
• 58:07
  because
• 58:08
  you
• 58:08
  know
• 58:08
  the
• 58:09
  language,
• 58:09
  you
• 58:10
  know
• 58:10
  how
• 58:10
  to
• 58:10
  talk
• 58:10
  to
• 58:11
  principals
• 58:11
  and
• 58:11
  teachers.
• 58:12
  That's
• 58:12
  my
• 58:13
  personal
• 58:13
  opinion,
• 58:13
  but
• 58:14
  that's
• 58:14
  what.
• 58:14
  I
• 58:14
  would
• 58:14
  do
• 58:15
  is
• 58:15
  that
• 58:15
  I
• 58:15
  think
• 58:16
  that's
• 58:16
  fantastic.
• 58:16
  I
• 58:17
  Appreciate
• 58:17
  that.
• 58:18
  No
• 58:18
  problem
• 58:18
  at
• 58:18
  all.
• 58:19
  So
• 58:20
  I'm
• 58:21
  also
• 58:21
  interested
• 58:22
  in
• 58:23
  talking
• 58:23
  about
• 58:24
  motivation.
• 58:25
  I
• 58:26
  can
• 58:26
  tell
• 58:26
  you're
• 58:27
  highly
• 58:27
  motivated.
• 58:28
  I
• 58:28
  know
• 58:28
  you've
• 58:28
  talked
• 58:29
  about
• 58:30
  Bella,
• 58:31
  Bird,
• 58:32
  Henry,
• 58:32
  and
• 58:33
  you
• 58:33
  talked
• 58:33
  about
• 58:34
  getting
• 58:35
  the
• 58:35
  horse
• 58:36
  Bella
• 58:36
  shipped
• 58:36
  all
• 58:37
  the
• 58:37
  way
• 58:37
  across
• 58:37
  the
• 58:37
  country.
• 58:38
  But
• 58:38
  is
• 58:39
  there
• 58:39
  something
• 58:39
  behind
• 58:40
  that?
• 58:40
  Is
• 58:40
  there
• 58:40
  a
• 58:40
  specific
• 58:41
  person
• 58:41
  or
• 58:41
  event
• 58:42
  that's
• 58:43
  motivated
• 58:43
  you
• 58:44
  to
• 58:44
  finally
• 58:44
  do
• 58:45
  this,
• 58:45
  to
• 58:45
  get
• 58:45
  your
• 58:46
  children's
• 58:46
  book
• 58:46
  on
• 58:47
  into
• 58:47
  the
• 58:47
  marketplace?
• 58:49
  You're
• 58:49
  serious?
• 58:49
  That's
• 58:50
  such
• 58:50
  another
• 58:50
  good
• 58:51
  question.
• 58:51
  I
• 58:51
  think
• 58:51
  behind
• 58:52
  anything
• 58:52
  this
• 58:53
  big,
• 58:54
  there's
• 58:54
  that
• 58:55
  underlying
• 58:56
  purpose.
• 58:57
  And
• 58:58
  I
• 58:58
  think
• 58:58
  that
• 58:58
  for
• 58:58
  me
• 58:59
  personally,
• 58:59
  it's
• 59:00
  been
• 59:00
  many
• 59:01
  years
• 59:01
  of
• 59:02
  what
• 59:02
  is
• 59:02
  my
• 59:03
  purpose?
• 59:04
  And
• 59:04
  my
• 59:05
  husband
• 59:05
  would
• 59:05
  say,
• 59:05
  your
• 59:05
  purpose
• 59:06
  right
• 59:06
  now
• 59:06
  is
• 59:06
  this
• 59:06
  or
• 59:06
  this.
• 59:07
  And
• 59:07
  I'm
• 59:07
  like,
• 59:07
  no,
• 59:07
  there's
• 59:08
  something
• 59:08
  else
• 59:09
  I
• 59:10
  refuse
• 59:10
  to
• 59:10
  believe.
• 59:11
  Good.
• 59:12
  Yeah,
• 59:12
  I
• 59:12
  did.
• 59:13
  I
• 59:13
  refused
• 59:13
  to
• 59:13
  believe
• 59:14
  because.
• 59:14
  Okay.
• 59:14
  Because
• 59:15
  I
• 59:15
  don't
• 59:15
  know
• 59:16
  if
• 59:16
  you
• 59:16
  saw
• 59:16
  my
• 59:16
  website,
• 59:17
  but
• 59:17
  I
• 59:17
  have
• 59:17
  four
• 59:17
  degrees.
• 59:18
  Yeah,
• 59:18
  that's
• 59:19
  pretty
• 59:19
  crazy,
• 59:19
  right?
• 59:20
  In
• 59:20
  and
• 59:20
  of
• 59:20
  itself.
• 59:21
  So
• 59:22
  my
• 59:22
  Undergrad,
• 59:22
  I
• 59:22
  have
• 59:22
  two
• 59:23
  masters
• 59:23
  and
• 59:23
  I
• 59:24
  have
• 59:24
  my
• 59:24
  PhD.
• 59:25
  After
• 59:26
  my
• 59:26
  PhD,
• 59:26
  I
• 59:26
  went
• 59:27
  back
• 59:27
  for
• 59:27
  my
• 59:27
  second
• 59:28
  master's.
• 59:28
  Now,
• 59:29
  who
• 59:29
  does
• 59:29
  that
• 59:29
  and
• 59:30
  what
• 59:30
  do
• 59:30
  you
• 59:30
  do
• 59:30
  with
• 59:31
  that?
• 59:31
  And
• 59:31
  my
• 59:31
  husband's.
• 59:32
  You
• 59:32
  need
• 59:32
  to
• 59:32
  do
• 59:33
  something
• 59:33
  with
• 59:33
  all
• 59:33
  of
• 59:34
  this.
• 59:34
  Okay.
• 59:35
  So
• 59:35
  I
• 59:36
  was
• 59:36
  always
• 59:36
  teaching.
• 59:37
  I've
• 59:37
  been
• 59:37
  an
• 59:37
  educator.
• 59:38
  And
• 59:38
  then
• 59:38
  I
• 59:38
  became
• 59:38
  a
• 59:39
  licensed
• 59:40
  mental
• 59:40
  health
• 59:40
  counselor,
• 59:41
  clinical
• 59:41
  mental
• 59:41
  health
• 59:41
  counselor.
• 59:42
  And
• 59:43
  I
• 59:43
  just.
• 59:43
  And
• 59:43
  I
• 59:43
  thought,
• 59:44
  okay.
• 59:44
  But
• 59:44
  still
• 59:45
  there
• 59:45
  was
• 59:45
  this
• 59:45
  underlying
• 59:46
  inside
• 59:46
  me
• 59:47
  saying,
• 59:48
  there's
• 59:49
  a
• 59:49
  purpose.
• 59:50
  What
• 59:50
  is
• 59:50
  that?
• 59:51
  And
• 59:51
  when
• 59:51
  the
• 59:52
  hurricane
• 59:53
  and
• 59:53
  Bella
• 59:53
  came
• 59:53
  and
• 59:54
  all
• 59:54
  of
• 59:54
  that
• 59:54
  happened,
• 59:55
  it
• 59:55
  just
• 59:55
  all
• 59:56
  came
• 59:56
  together
• 59:56
  and
• 59:56
  clicked.
• 59:57
  Okay.
• 59:58
  And
• 59:58
  I
• 59:59
  think
• 59:59
  that's
• 59:59
  what
• 59:59
  happens
• 1:00:00
  with
• 1:00:00
  a
• 1:00:00
  lot
• 1:00:00
  of
• 1:00:00
  people.
• 1:00:01
  It
• 1:00:01
  just
• 1:00:01
  comes
• 1:00:02
  together
• 1:00:02
  and
• 1:00:03
  clicks
• 1:00:04
  that
• 1:00:04
  this
• 1:00:04
  is
• 1:00:05
  the
• 1:00:05
  purpose
• 1:00:06
  of
• 1:00:06
  all
• 1:00:07
  of
• 1:00:07
  that.
• 1:00:07
  All
• 1:00:07
  the
• 1:00:08
  experiences
• 1:00:08
  I've
• 1:00:08
  had.
• 1:00:09
  Absolutely.
• 1:00:10
  And
• 1:00:10
  I've
• 1:00:10
  had
• 1:00:10
  some
• 1:00:11
  authors
• 1:00:11
  say
• 1:00:12
  a
• 1:00:13
  book
• 1:00:13
  came
• 1:00:13
  to
• 1:00:13
  them
• 1:00:14
  and
• 1:00:14
  they
• 1:00:14
  wrote
• 1:00:14
  their
• 1:00:14
  whole
• 1:00:15
  children's
• 1:00:15
  book
• 1:00:16
  overnight.
• 1:00:17
  And
• 1:00:18
  some
• 1:00:18
  have
• 1:00:18
  said
• 1:00:18
  it
• 1:00:18
  took
• 1:00:19
  them
• 1:00:19
  a
• 1:00:19
  30
• 1:00:19
  year
• 1:00:20
  journey
• 1:00:22
  to
• 1:00:22
  fill
• 1:00:22
  their
• 1:00:23
  whole
• 1:00:23
  life
• 1:00:23
  before
• 1:00:24
  they
• 1:00:24
  actually
• 1:00:25
  brought
• 1:00:26
  their
• 1:00:26
  book
• 1:00:26
  to
• 1:00:26
  life.
• 1:00:26
  So
• 1:00:27
  it
• 1:00:27
  comes,
• 1:00:27
  like
• 1:00:28
  you
• 1:00:28
  said,
• 1:00:28
  at
• 1:00:28
  varying
• 1:00:29
  points.
• 1:00:29
  You
• 1:00:29
  just
• 1:00:30
  have
• 1:00:30
  to
• 1:00:30
  recognize
• 1:00:31
  it
• 1:00:31
  when
• 1:00:31
  it
• 1:00:32
  does
• 1:00:32
  come.
• 1:00:33
  Right.
• 1:00:33
  Exactly.
• 1:00:34
  Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  And
• 1:00:34
  it's
• 1:00:35
  funny
• 1:00:35
  because
• 1:00:35
  my
• 1:00:35
  husband
• 1:00:35
  says.
• 1:00:36
  Because
• 1:00:36
  I'm
• 1:00:37
  like,
• 1:00:37
  oh,
• 1:00:37
  my
• 1:00:37
  gosh,
• 1:00:37
  I
• 1:00:37
  can't
• 1:00:38
  believe
• 1:00:38
  it.
• 1:00:38
  All
• 1:00:39
  that
• 1:00:39
  I've
• 1:00:39
  been
• 1:00:40
  doing
• 1:00:40
  in
• 1:00:40
  my
• 1:00:41
  life,
• 1:00:41
  in
• 1:00:41
  my
• 1:00:41
  education
• 1:00:42
  and
• 1:00:42
  jobs
• 1:00:43
  and
• 1:00:43
  experiences
• 1:00:44
  as
• 1:00:44
  a
• 1:00:44
  mom,
• 1:00:45
  is
• 1:00:45
  coming
• 1:00:46
  out
• 1:00:46
  in
• 1:00:46
  this
• 1:00:46
  children's
• 1:00:47
  book
• 1:00:47
  series.
• 1:00:47
  But
• 1:00:47
  I'm
• 1:00:47
  not
• 1:00:48
  surprised.
• 1:00:48
  You
• 1:00:48
  loved
• 1:00:49
  growing
• 1:00:49
  up
• 1:00:50
  with
• 1:00:50
  my
• 1:00:50
  boys.
• 1:00:50
  Who.
• 1:00:50
  Grown
• 1:00:51
  adults.
• 1:00:52
  I
• 1:00:52
  read
• 1:00:52
  we
• 1:00:53
  have
• 1:00:53
  a
• 1:00:53
  library
• 1:00:53
  full
• 1:00:54
  of
• 1:00:54
  children's
• 1:00:54
  books.
• 1:00:55
  Like
• 1:00:55
  children.
• 1:00:55
  And
• 1:00:56
  when
• 1:00:56
  I
• 1:00:56
  look
• 1:00:56
  back,
• 1:00:57
  it
• 1:00:57
  is
• 1:00:57
  true.
• 1:00:57
  Children's
• 1:00:58
  books
• 1:00:58
  have
• 1:00:58
  always
• 1:00:58
  Been
• 1:00:59
  a
• 1:00:59
  big
• 1:00:59
  part
• 1:01:00
  of
• 1:01:00
  who
• 1:01:00
  I
• 1:01:01
  am,
• 1:01:01
  but
• 1:01:01
  not
• 1:01:02
  to
• 1:01:02
  the
• 1:01:03
  degree
• 1:01:03
  that
• 1:01:03
  I'm
• 1:01:03
  like,
• 1:01:03
  oh,
• 1:01:04
  I'm.
• 1:01:04
  I
• 1:01:04
  want
• 1:01:04
  to
• 1:01:04
  be
• 1:01:04
  a
• 1:01:04
  children's
• 1:01:05
  book
• 1:01:05
  author.
• 1:01:05
  Pretty
• 1:01:06
  incredible.
• 1:01:07
  I
• 1:01:07
  want
• 1:01:07
  to
• 1:01:07
  talk
• 1:01:07
  to
• 1:01:07
  you
• 1:01:07
  about
• 1:01:08
  character
• 1:01:08
  development
• 1:01:10
  because
• 1:01:10
  we
• 1:01:11
  got
• 1:01:11
  the
• 1:01:11
  sense
• 1:01:11
  you've
• 1:01:12
  told
• 1:01:12
  us
• 1:01:12
  Bella
• 1:01:13
  and
• 1:01:13
  Bert
• 1:01:13
  are
• 1:01:13
  the
• 1:01:14
  inspirations
• 1:01:15
  behind
• 1:01:15
  them
• 1:01:15
  are
• 1:01:16
  real.
• 1:01:16
  And
• 1:01:17
  Henry.
• 1:01:18
  So
• 1:01:18
  talk
• 1:01:19
  to
• 1:01:19
  us,
• 1:01:19
  talk
• 1:01:19
  to
• 1:01:19
  us
• 1:01:20
  a
• 1:01:20
  little
• 1:01:20
  bit
• 1:01:20
  about
• 1:01:20
  Henry.
• 1:01:21
  Is
• 1:01:21
  it,
• 1:01:21
  is
• 1:01:21
  Henry
• 1:01:22
  a
• 1:01:22
  real
• 1:01:22
  person
• 1:01:23
  or
• 1:01:24
  just
• 1:01:24
  that
• 1:01:25
  you
• 1:01:25
  knew
• 1:01:25
  it
• 1:01:25
  had
• 1:01:25
  to
• 1:01:26
  be
• 1:01:26
  an
• 1:01:26
  eight
• 1:01:26
  year
• 1:01:26
  old
• 1:01:27
  boy?
• 1:01:29
  That
• 1:01:29
  is
• 1:01:29
  so
• 1:01:29
  good.
• 1:01:30
  Henry
• 1:01:31
  is.
• 1:01:32
  Brings
• 1:01:33
  out
• 1:01:33
  all
• 1:01:33
  the
• 1:01:34
  messiness
• 1:01:34
  in
• 1:01:34
  all
• 1:01:35
  of
• 1:01:35
  us.
• 1:01:36
  Right.
• 1:01:36
  Because
• 1:01:36
  who
• 1:01:37
  doesn't
• 1:01:37
  get
• 1:01:37
  angry?
• 1:01:38
  Yes.
• 1:01:38
  And
• 1:01:39
  when
• 1:01:40
  I
• 1:01:40
  started
• 1:01:40
  writing
• 1:01:40
  about
• 1:01:40
  anger,
• 1:01:41
  it
• 1:01:41
  just
• 1:01:41
  came
• 1:01:42
  natural
• 1:01:43
  to
• 1:01:43
  think
• 1:01:43
  about
• 1:01:43
  my
• 1:01:43
  own
• 1:01:44
  childhood
• 1:01:44
  and
• 1:01:44
  to
• 1:01:44
  think
• 1:01:45
  about
• 1:01:45
  the
• 1:01:45
  things
• 1:01:45
  that
• 1:01:45
  I
• 1:01:45
  was
• 1:01:46
  angry
• 1:01:46
  about.
• 1:01:47
  And
• 1:01:48
  I
• 1:01:48
  can
• 1:01:48
  remember
• 1:01:49
  multiple
• 1:01:49
  times
• 1:01:50
  my
• 1:01:50
  mother
• 1:01:51
  would
• 1:01:51
  bake,
• 1:01:52
  she
• 1:01:52
  would
• 1:01:52
  bake
• 1:01:52
  brownies
• 1:01:53
  and
• 1:01:53
  cakes
• 1:01:53
  and
• 1:01:54
  things
• 1:01:54
  and
• 1:01:55
  I
• 1:01:55
  wanted
• 1:01:56
  to,
• 1:01:56
  to
• 1:01:56
  taste
• 1:01:57
  it
• 1:01:57
  and
• 1:01:57
  stuff.
• 1:01:57
  And
• 1:01:58
  she
• 1:01:58
  would
• 1:01:59
  always
• 1:01:59
  let
• 1:01:59
  us
• 1:01:59
  lick
• 1:01:59
  the
• 1:02:00
  bowl
• 1:02:00
  and
• 1:02:00
  spoon.
• 1:02:00
  That
• 1:02:01
  was
• 1:02:01
  just
• 1:02:01
  like
• 1:02:01
  something
• 1:02:02
  she
• 1:02:02
  always
• 1:02:02
  did.
• 1:02:02
  And
• 1:02:03
  so
• 1:02:04
  when
• 1:02:04
  I
• 1:02:04
  was
• 1:02:05
  creating
• 1:02:05
  Henry
• 1:02:06
  and
• 1:02:06
  I
• 1:02:06
  was
• 1:02:06
  creating
• 1:02:07
  like,
• 1:02:07
  what
• 1:02:07
  is
• 1:02:07
  Henry
• 1:02:08
  going
• 1:02:08
  to
• 1:02:08
  be
• 1:02:08
  angry
• 1:02:08
  about?
• 1:02:09
  I
• 1:02:10
  know
• 1:02:10
  that
• 1:02:10
  I
• 1:02:10
  had,
• 1:02:11
  for
• 1:02:11
  each
• 1:02:11
  of
• 1:02:11
  the
• 1:02:11
  emotions,
• 1:02:12
  I
• 1:02:12
  had
• 1:02:12
  to
• 1:02:13
  come
• 1:02:13
  up
• 1:02:13
  with
• 1:02:13
  something
• 1:02:14
  universal.
• 1:02:14
  This
• 1:02:15
  is
• 1:02:15
  something
• 1:02:15
  really
• 1:02:16
  important.
• 1:02:17
  When
• 1:02:17
  you're
• 1:02:17
  writing
• 1:02:17
  a
• 1:02:17
  children's
• 1:02:18
  book,
• 1:02:18
  you
• 1:02:18
  have
• 1:02:18
  to
• 1:02:18
  connect
• 1:02:19
  universally.
• 1:02:20
  So
• 1:02:20
  like
• 1:02:20
  in
• 1:02:20
  my
• 1:02:21
  sadness
• 1:02:21
  book,
• 1:02:22
  sadness
• 1:02:22
  is
• 1:02:23
  not
• 1:02:23
  grief.
• 1:02:23
  Grief
• 1:02:23
  is
• 1:02:24
  a
• 1:02:24
  component
• 1:02:25
  of
• 1:02:26
  sadness,
• 1:02:26
  but
• 1:02:27
  it's
• 1:02:27
  very
• 1:02:27
  different.
• 1:02:28
  But
• 1:02:28
  I
• 1:02:28
  couldn't
• 1:02:29
  have
• 1:02:29
  Molly,
• 1:02:29
  my
• 1:02:30
  little
• 1:02:30
  girl,
• 1:02:31
  be
• 1:02:31
  sad
• 1:02:32
  about
• 1:02:32
  the
• 1:02:32
  death
• 1:02:32
  of
• 1:02:33
  a
• 1:02:33
  goldfish
• 1:02:33
  or
• 1:02:34
  the
• 1:02:34
  death
• 1:02:34
  of
• 1:02:34
  her
• 1:02:34
  grandfather
• 1:02:35
  because
• 1:02:35
  not
• 1:02:35
  everybody
• 1:02:36
  experiences
• 1:02:37
  that.
• 1:02:37
  Not
• 1:02:37
  every
• 1:02:37
  child
• 1:02:38
  can
• 1:02:38
  connect
• 1:02:38
  to
• 1:02:39
  that.
• 1:02:39
  Now
• 1:02:39
  there's
• 1:02:40
  some
• 1:02:40
  great
• 1:02:40
  stories
• 1:02:41
  out
• 1:02:41
  there
• 1:02:41
  that
• 1:02:41
  are
• 1:02:42
  meaningful,
• 1:02:43
  but
• 1:02:43
  I
• 1:02:43
  was
• 1:02:43
  looking,
• 1:02:44
  how
• 1:02:44
  do
• 1:02:44
  I
• 1:02:45
  connect
• 1:02:45
  to
• 1:02:45
  a
• 1:02:45
  wide
• 1:02:46
  range
• 1:02:46
  of
• 1:02:46
  people?
• 1:02:47
  And
• 1:02:48
  so
• 1:02:49
  I
• 1:02:49
  can
• 1:02:49
  remember
• 1:02:50
  as
• 1:02:50
  a
• 1:02:50
  child
• 1:02:51
  being
• 1:02:51
  angry,
• 1:02:51
  wanting
• 1:02:52
  things
• 1:02:52
  and
• 1:02:53
  not
• 1:02:53
  getting
• 1:02:53
  things.
• 1:02:53
  And
• 1:02:54
  I
• 1:02:54
  thought
• 1:02:54
  that's
• 1:02:54
  pretty
• 1:02:55
  universal.
• 1:02:55
  Even
• 1:02:56
  as
• 1:02:56
  adults
• 1:02:56
  right
• 1:02:56
  now,
• 1:02:57
  we
• 1:02:57
  want
• 1:02:57
  things
• 1:02:57
  and
• 1:02:57
  we
• 1:02:58
  can't
• 1:02:58
  get
• 1:02:58
  them
• 1:02:58
  right.
• 1:02:59
  And
• 1:02:59
  so
• 1:02:59
  I
• 1:03:00
  came
• 1:03:00
  up
• 1:03:00
  with
• 1:03:00
  the
• 1:03:00
  idea
• 1:03:00
  of
• 1:03:01
  Henry
• 1:03:01
  being
• 1:03:01
  angry.
• 1:03:02
  He's
• 1:03:03
  wanting
• 1:03:03
  what.
• 1:03:03
  What
• 1:03:04
  is
• 1:03:04
  it
• 1:03:04
  that
• 1:03:04
  he
• 1:03:04
  doesn't
• 1:03:05
  have?
• 1:03:05
  A
• 1:03:06
  pie.
• 1:03:06
  It's
• 1:03:06
  his
• 1:03:07
  grandmother's
• 1:03:07
  birthday.
• 1:03:07
  He
• 1:03:08
  wants
• 1:03:08
  his
• 1:03:08
  favorite
• 1:03:08
  piece
• 1:03:09
  of
• 1:03:09
  pie
• 1:03:09
  and
• 1:03:09
  he
• 1:03:09
  can't
• 1:03:09
  have
• 1:03:10
  it.
• 1:03:11
  And
• 1:03:12
  so
• 1:03:12
  I
• 1:03:12
  did
• 1:03:12
  combine
• 1:03:13
  my
• 1:03:13
  own
• 1:03:14
  experiences
• 1:03:14
  in
• 1:03:15
  every
• 1:03:15
  one
• 1:03:15
  of
• 1:03:15
  my
• 1:03:15
  books,
• 1:03:16
  my
• 1:03:16
  own
• 1:03:16
  childhood
• 1:03:17
  experience,
• 1:03:18
  adult
• 1:03:18
  experiences,
• 1:03:19
  and
• 1:03:20
  married
• 1:03:20
  them
• 1:03:20
  together.
• 1:03:21
  Henry's
• 1:03:21
  one
• 1:03:22
  of
• 1:03:22
  the
• 1:03:22
  main
• 1:03:22
  characters
• 1:03:23
  in
• 1:03:23
  your
• 1:03:23
  first
• 1:03:23
  book.
• 1:03:24
  Sounds
• 1:03:24
  like
• 1:03:25
  Molly's
• 1:03:25
  one
• 1:03:26
  of
• 1:03:26
  the
• 1:03:26
  main
• 1:03:26
  characters
• 1:03:27
  in
• 1:03:27
  the
• 1:03:27
  second
• 1:03:27
  book.
• 1:03:27
  So
• 1:03:28
  the
• 1:03:28
  constant
• 1:03:29
  will
• 1:03:29
  be
• 1:03:29
  Bella
• 1:03:30
  and
• 1:03:30
  Bird,
• 1:03:31
  Is
• 1:03:31
  that
• 1:03:31
  correct?
• 1:03:32
  Yes.
• 1:03:32
  And
• 1:03:33
  so
• 1:03:33
  for
• 1:03:33
  your
• 1:03:33
  third
• 1:03:33
  and
• 1:03:34
  fourth
• 1:03:34
  book,
• 1:03:35
  is
• 1:03:35
  Henry
• 1:03:36
  or
• 1:03:36
  Molly
• 1:03:36
  coming
• 1:03:36
  back
• 1:03:37
  or
• 1:03:38
  you
• 1:03:38
  got
• 1:03:38
  some.
• 1:03:39
  Introducing
• 1:03:39
  a
• 1:03:40
  new
• 1:03:40
  third
• 1:03:40
  character.
• 1:03:41
  The
• 1:03:42
  happiness
• 1:03:42
  book,
• 1:03:42
  which
• 1:03:43
  is
• 1:03:43
  being
• 1:03:43
  illustrated
• 1:03:44
  right
• 1:03:44
  now,
• 1:03:45
  is
• 1:03:45
  a
• 1:03:45
  little
• 1:03:46
  girl
• 1:03:46
  named
• 1:03:46
  Piper.
• 1:03:47
  She's
• 1:03:48
  a
• 1:03:48
  redhead
• 1:03:49
  little
• 1:03:49
  girl
• 1:03:49
  named
• 1:03:49
  Piper.
• 1:03:50
  And
• 1:03:50
  she
• 1:03:50
  just
• 1:03:50
  come.
• 1:03:51
  She
• 1:03:51
  comes
• 1:03:51
  bounding
• 1:03:52
  into
• 1:03:52
  the
• 1:03:52
  pastor,
• 1:03:53
  and
• 1:03:53
  it's
• 1:03:53
  her
• 1:03:53
  birthday,
• 1:03:54
  okay.
• 1:03:55
  And
• 1:03:55
  she
• 1:03:55
  wants
• 1:03:56
  every
• 1:03:56
  day
• 1:03:57
  to
• 1:03:57
  be
• 1:03:57
  her
• 1:03:57
  birthday.
• 1:03:58
  Excellent.
• 1:03:59
  I
• 1:03:59
  love.
• 1:03:59
  And
• 1:04:00
  Bella
• 1:04:00
  and
• 1:04:00
  Bird,
• 1:04:01
  of
• 1:04:01
  course.
• 1:04:02
  Of
• 1:04:02
  course
• 1:04:02
  we
• 1:04:02
  want
• 1:04:02
  every
• 1:04:03
  day
• 1:04:03
  to
• 1:04:03
  be
• 1:04:03
  our
• 1:04:04
  birthdays,
• 1:04:04
  but
• 1:04:05
  that's
• 1:04:05
  not
• 1:04:05
  reality.
• 1:04:06
  Right.
• 1:04:06
  They
• 1:04:07
  teach
• 1:04:07
  her
• 1:04:07
  how
• 1:04:07
  to
• 1:04:07
  cultivate
• 1:04:08
  happiness.
• 1:04:09
  So
• 1:04:09
  in
• 1:04:09
  the
• 1:04:10
  anger
• 1:04:10
  book,
• 1:04:10
  Bella
• 1:04:11
  and
• 1:04:11
  Bird
• 1:04:11
  teach
• 1:04:12
  Henry
• 1:04:12
  how
• 1:04:13
  to
• 1:04:13
  explore.
• 1:04:14
  Okay.
• 1:04:14
  His
• 1:04:15
  anger.
• 1:04:15
  In
• 1:04:16
  the
• 1:04:16
  sadness
• 1:04:16
  book,
• 1:04:17
  Bella
• 1:04:17
  and
• 1:04:18
  Bird
• 1:04:18
  teach
• 1:04:18
  Molly
• 1:04:19
  how
• 1:04:19
  to
• 1:04:19
  tend
• 1:04:20
  sadness.
• 1:04:21
  You
• 1:04:21
  tend
• 1:04:21
  to
• 1:04:21
  sadness.
• 1:04:23
  In
• 1:04:23
  the
• 1:04:23
  happiness
• 1:04:24
  book,
• 1:04:24
  you
• 1:04:24
  cultivate
• 1:04:25
  happiness.
• 1:04:27
  And
• 1:04:27
  then
• 1:04:27
  in
• 1:04:27
  the
• 1:04:27
  fear
• 1:04:28
  book,
• 1:04:28
  you
• 1:04:29
  navigate.
• 1:04:29
  You
• 1:04:29
  learn
• 1:04:30
  how
• 1:04:30
  to
• 1:04:30
  navigate
• 1:04:30
  fear.
• 1:04:31
  You.
• 1:04:31
  So
• 1:04:31
  those
• 1:04:31
  are,
• 1:04:32
  I'll
• 1:04:32
  say,
• 1:04:32
  big
• 1:04:33
  literacy
• 1:04:33
  words
• 1:04:34
  that
• 1:04:34
  I'm
• 1:04:34
  also
• 1:04:35
  behind
• 1:04:35
  the
• 1:04:35
  scenes
• 1:04:36
  trying
• 1:04:36
  to
• 1:04:36
  teach
• 1:04:36
  and
• 1:04:36
  introduce
• 1:04:37
  to
• 1:04:37
  the
• 1:04:37
  children
• 1:04:38
  and
• 1:04:38
  to
• 1:04:38
  adults.
• 1:04:39
  I
• 1:04:39
  think
• 1:04:39
  everybody's
• 1:04:40
  getting
• 1:04:40
  a
• 1:04:40
  sense
• 1:04:41
  of
• 1:04:42
  each
• 1:04:42
  theme
• 1:04:43
  I'm
• 1:04:44
  wondering
• 1:04:44
  about.
• 1:04:47
  Is
• 1:04:47
  the
• 1:04:48
  central
• 1:04:48
  teaching
• 1:04:50
  separate
• 1:04:50
  from
• 1:04:51
  the
• 1:04:51
  theme
• 1:04:51
  in
• 1:04:52
  your
• 1:04:52
  mind?
• 1:04:53
  Yeah,
• 1:04:54
  I
• 1:04:54
  think
• 1:04:54
  it
• 1:04:54
  goes
• 1:04:54
  hand
• 1:04:55
  in
• 1:04:55
  hand.
• 1:04:55
  My.
• 1:04:56
  The
• 1:04:56
  books
• 1:04:57
  are
• 1:04:57
  a
• 1:04:57
  story,
• 1:04:58
  and
• 1:04:58
  in
• 1:04:58
  the
• 1:04:59
  story,
• 1:04:59
  it's
• 1:04:59
  about
• 1:04:59
  having
• 1:05:00
  a
• 1:05:00
  conversation
• 1:05:00
  about
• 1:05:01
  each
• 1:05:01
  of
• 1:05:01
  these
• 1:05:01
  emotions
• 1:05:02
  and
• 1:05:02
  introducing
• 1:05:03
  tools,
• 1:05:04
  lifelong
• 1:05:04
  tools
• 1:05:05
  that
• 1:05:05
  kids
• 1:05:05
  could
• 1:05:05
  take
• 1:05:05
  along
• 1:05:06
  with
• 1:05:06
  them.
• 1:05:06
  And
• 1:05:06
  adults
• 1:05:07
  can
• 1:05:07
  learn
• 1:05:07
  them,
• 1:05:07
  too,
• 1:05:07
  because
• 1:05:08
  they
• 1:05:08
  may
• 1:05:08
  never
• 1:05:08
  have
• 1:05:08
  learned
• 1:05:09
  them.
• 1:05:09
  I
• 1:05:09
  often
• 1:05:09
  get
• 1:05:10
  feedback
• 1:05:10
  from
• 1:05:10
  adults
• 1:05:11
  that
• 1:05:11
  say,
• 1:05:11
  I
• 1:05:11
  love
• 1:05:11
  your
• 1:05:12
  book.
• 1:05:12
  It
• 1:05:12
  helps
• 1:05:12
  me.
• 1:05:13
  My
• 1:05:13
  illustrator
• 1:05:14
  would
• 1:05:14
  always
• 1:05:14
  say
• 1:05:14
  that,
• 1:05:15
  like
• 1:05:15
  every
• 1:05:15
  book
• 1:05:15
  she's
• 1:05:15
  working
• 1:05:16
  on,
• 1:05:16
  she's.
• 1:05:16
  I
• 1:05:16
  take
• 1:05:17
  these
• 1:05:17
  tools
• 1:05:17
  and
• 1:05:17
  I
• 1:05:18
  utilize
• 1:05:18
  them
• 1:05:18
  in
• 1:05:19
  my
• 1:05:19
  everyday
• 1:05:19
  life.
• 1:05:20
  So
• 1:05:21
  talk
• 1:05:21
  to
• 1:05:21
  us
• 1:05:21
  about.
• 1:05:22
  I
• 1:05:22
  think
• 1:05:23
  that
• 1:05:23
  you.
• 1:05:23
  When
• 1:05:23
  you're
• 1:05:24
  doing
• 1:05:24
  book
• 1:05:24
  tours,
• 1:05:26
  how
• 1:05:26
  are
• 1:05:26
  you
• 1:05:26
  sharing
• 1:05:27
  the
• 1:05:27
  central
• 1:05:27
  teaching?
• 1:05:29
  I've
• 1:05:29
  done
• 1:05:29
  multiple
• 1:05:30
  interviews
• 1:05:31
  to
• 1:05:31
  read
• 1:05:31
  online,
• 1:05:32
  you
• 1:05:32
  know,
• 1:05:32
  so
• 1:05:32
  to
• 1:05:32
  read
• 1:05:33
  online
• 1:05:33
  so
• 1:05:33
  that
• 1:05:33
  people
• 1:05:34
  can
• 1:05:34
  try
• 1:05:34
  to
• 1:05:35
  get
• 1:05:35
  the
• 1:05:35
  idea
• 1:05:35
  behind
• 1:05:36
  it
• 1:05:36
  is.
• 1:05:36
  It's
• 1:05:36
  very
• 1:05:37
  heavy,
• 1:05:37
  right?
• 1:05:37
  It's.
• 1:05:38
  There's
• 1:05:39
  again,
• 1:05:40
  the
• 1:05:40
  framework
• 1:05:40
  is
• 1:05:40
  the
• 1:05:41
  emotional
• 1:05:41
  intelligence.
• 1:05:42
  So
• 1:05:42
  how
• 1:05:42
  do
• 1:05:42
  I
• 1:05:42
  introduce
• 1:05:43
  that
• 1:05:43
  concept?
• 1:05:44
  How
• 1:05:45
  do
• 1:05:45
  I
• 1:05:45
  get
• 1:05:45
  my
• 1:05:45
  audience,
• 1:05:46
  everybody
• 1:05:47
  out
• 1:05:47
  there,
• 1:05:47
  to
• 1:05:47
  understand
• 1:05:48
  when
• 1:05:48
  they
• 1:05:48
  see
• 1:05:48
  a
• 1:05:49
  book
• 1:05:49
  that
• 1:05:49
  says
• 1:05:49
  anger
• 1:05:50
  or
• 1:05:50
  sadness.
• 1:05:50
  Oh,
• 1:05:51
  God,
• 1:05:51
  goodness.
• 1:05:53
  But
• 1:05:53
  it
• 1:05:53
  is
• 1:05:53
  the
• 1:05:53
  idea
• 1:05:54
  of
• 1:05:55
  learning
• 1:05:55
  how
• 1:05:55
  to
• 1:05:55
  have
• 1:05:56
  open,
• 1:05:56
  honest
• 1:05:57
  conversations
• 1:05:58
  about
• 1:05:58
  these
• 1:05:59
  emotions
• 1:05:59
  that
• 1:06:00
  every
• 1:06:00
  single
• 1:06:00
  human
• 1:06:01
  being
• 1:06:01
  feels.
• 1:06:01
  There's
• 1:06:02
  no
• 1:06:02
  one
• 1:06:02
  that
• 1:06:02
  doesn't
• 1:06:03
  feel
• 1:06:03
  them.
• 1:06:04
  And
• 1:06:04
  animals
• 1:06:04
  as
• 1:06:05
  well,
• 1:06:05
  which
• 1:06:05
  is
• 1:06:05
  the
• 1:06:06
  nice
• 1:06:06
  connection.
• 1:06:07
  And
• 1:06:07
  it's
• 1:06:08
  getting
• 1:06:08
  them
• 1:06:09
  to
• 1:06:09
  realize
• 1:06:09
  that
• 1:06:10
  these
• 1:06:10
  skills
• 1:06:11
  you
• 1:06:11
  can
• 1:06:11
  utilize.
• 1:06:12
  You
• 1:06:12
  can
• 1:06:12
  role
• 1:06:12
  model
• 1:06:13
  to
• 1:06:13
  your
• 1:06:13
  children.
• 1:06:14
  And
• 1:06:14
  what
• 1:06:14
  you're
• 1:06:14
  doing
• 1:06:14
  is
• 1:06:15
  you're
• 1:06:15
  planting
• 1:06:15
  seeds
• 1:06:15
  and
• 1:06:16
  giving
• 1:06:16
  your
• 1:06:16
  kids
• 1:06:16
  really
• 1:06:17
  a
• 1:06:17
  gift.
• 1:06:18
  Because
• 1:06:18
  I
• 1:06:18
  noticed
• 1:06:19
  in
• 1:06:19
  your
• 1:06:19
  book,
• 1:06:20
  you
• 1:06:21
  also
• 1:06:21
  introduced
• 1:06:22
  box
• 1:06:23
  technique
• 1:06:24
  and
• 1:06:24
  you
• 1:06:24
  also
• 1:06:26
  introduced
• 1:06:26
  counting
• 1:06:27
  to
• 1:06:27
  10.
• 1:06:28
  And
• 1:06:29
  so
• 1:06:29
  that's
• 1:06:29
  interesting
• 1:06:30
  that
• 1:06:31
  you
• 1:06:31
  have
• 1:06:31
  all
• 1:06:32
  of
• 1:06:32
  these
• 1:06:32
  kind
• 1:06:33
  of
• 1:06:34
  themes
• 1:06:35
  threading
• 1:06:35
  together.
• 1:06:36
  Would
• 1:06:36
  you
• 1:06:36
  say
• 1:06:36
  that?
• 1:06:38
  Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  So
• 1:06:38
  each
• 1:06:38
  book
• 1:06:39
  has
• 1:06:39
  different
• 1:06:40
  techniques
• 1:06:41
  or
• 1:06:41
  skills
• 1:06:42
  that
• 1:06:42
  I
• 1:06:43
  introduce
• 1:06:43
  depending
• 1:06:43
  on
• 1:06:44
  the
• 1:06:44
  emotion,
• 1:06:44
  because
• 1:06:45
  every
• 1:06:45
  emotion
• 1:06:45
  has
• 1:06:46
  its
• 1:06:46
  own
• 1:06:47
  unique
• 1:06:48
  skills
• 1:06:48
  that's
• 1:06:49
  attached
• 1:06:49
  to
• 1:06:49
  it.
• 1:06:49
  And
• 1:06:49
  that's
• 1:06:50
  what
• 1:06:50
  we're
• 1:06:50
  trying
• 1:06:50
  to
• 1:06:50
  teach.
• 1:06:50
  And
• 1:06:50
  it
• 1:06:51
  does
• 1:06:51
  mirror
• 1:06:51
  what
• 1:06:51
  you
• 1:06:52
  would
• 1:06:52
  probably
• 1:06:52
  learn
• 1:06:53
  in
• 1:06:53
  therapy
• 1:06:53
  sessions.
• 1:06:54
  Do
• 1:06:54
  you
• 1:06:55
  use
• 1:06:55
  singing
• 1:06:56
  to
• 1:06:56
  yourself
• 1:06:57
  as
• 1:06:57
  a
• 1:06:58
  technique?
• 1:06:58
  The
• 1:06:58
  reason
• 1:06:59
  I
• 1:06:59
  say
• 1:06:59
  that
• 1:06:59
  is
• 1:07:00
  I
• 1:07:00
  had
• 1:07:00
  to
• 1:07:00
  go
• 1:07:00
  for
• 1:07:01
  my
• 1:07:01
  annual
• 1:07:01
  physical,
• 1:07:02
  and
• 1:07:03
  of
• 1:07:03
  course,
• 1:07:03
  I
• 1:07:04
  take
• 1:07:04
  my
• 1:07:04
  blood
• 1:07:04
  pressure.
• 1:07:05
  And
• 1:07:05
  one
• 1:07:05
  of
• 1:07:06
  the
• 1:07:06
  techniques
• 1:07:06
  I
• 1:07:06
  use
• 1:07:07
  is
• 1:07:07
  actually
• 1:07:08
  there's
• 1:07:08
  a
• 1:07:08
  happy
• 1:07:09
  song
• 1:07:09
  that
• 1:07:09
  I
• 1:07:10
  sing,
• 1:07:11
  and.
• 1:07:11
  And
• 1:07:11
  it
• 1:07:12
  seems
• 1:07:12
  to
• 1:07:12
  bring
• 1:07:12
  my
• 1:07:13
  blood
• 1:07:13
  pressure
• 1:07:13
  down.
• 1:07:14
  So
• 1:07:14
  not
• 1:07:14
  sure
• 1:07:15
  if
• 1:07:15
  you're
• 1:07:15
  using
• 1:07:15
  singing
• 1:07:16
  as
• 1:07:16
  a
• 1:07:16
  technique.
• 1:07:17
  I
• 1:07:17
  always
• 1:07:17
  say
• 1:07:18
  emotions
• 1:07:19
  need
• 1:07:19
  motion,
• 1:07:21
  so
• 1:07:21
  emotions
• 1:07:22
  need
• 1:07:22
  motion.
• 1:07:22
  So
• 1:07:23
  whether
• 1:07:23
  it's
• 1:07:23
  singing,
• 1:07:23
  walking,
• 1:07:24
  drawing,
• 1:07:25
  no
• 1:07:25
  matter
• 1:07:25
  what
• 1:07:25
  that
• 1:07:26
  is,
• 1:07:27
  that's
• 1:07:27
  important.
• 1:07:28
  So
• 1:07:28
  important
• 1:07:28
  to
• 1:07:29
  learn
• 1:07:29
  is
• 1:07:29
  that
• 1:07:29
  your
• 1:07:29
  emotions
• 1:07:30
  need
• 1:07:30
  motion.
• 1:07:31
  You
• 1:07:31
  just
• 1:07:31
  need,
• 1:07:32
  as
• 1:07:32
  an
• 1:07:32
  individual
• 1:07:32
  to
• 1:07:33
  determine
• 1:07:33
  what
• 1:07:34
  best
• 1:07:34
  suits
• 1:07:35
  moving
• 1:07:36
  those
• 1:07:36
  emotions
• 1:07:36
  out.
• 1:07:37
  And
• 1:07:37
  for
• 1:07:37
  different
• 1:07:37
  emotions,
• 1:07:38
  it
• 1:07:38
  might
• 1:07:38
  be
• 1:07:38
  something
• 1:07:39
  different.
• 1:07:39
  In
• 1:07:40
  my
• 1:07:40
  sadness
• 1:07:40
  book,
• 1:07:41
  Molly
• 1:07:41
  draws.
• 1:07:42
  That's
• 1:07:42
  one
• 1:07:42
  of
• 1:07:42
  the
• 1:07:42
  techniques.
• 1:07:42
  I'm
• 1:07:43
  sorry,
• 1:07:43
  interrupt.
• 1:07:43
  She
• 1:07:43
  draws.
• 1:07:44
  Nice.
• 1:07:44
  That's
• 1:07:44
  one
• 1:07:45
  of
• 1:07:45
  the
• 1:07:45
  techniques.
• 1:07:46
  It's
• 1:07:46
  beautiful.
• 1:07:47
  Like
• 1:07:47
  you
• 1:07:47
  said,
• 1:07:48
  you've
• 1:07:48
  got
• 1:07:49
  two
• 1:07:49
  books
• 1:07:49
  written
• 1:07:50
  and
• 1:07:50
  formulating
• 1:07:51
  the
• 1:07:51
  other
• 1:07:52
  two.
• 1:07:53
  So
• 1:07:53
  let's
• 1:07:53
  talk
• 1:07:54
  about
• 1:07:54
  your
• 1:07:54
  writing
• 1:07:55
  process,
• 1:07:55
  because
• 1:07:56
  that's
• 1:07:56
  one
• 1:07:56
  of
• 1:07:56
  the
• 1:07:57
  difficult
• 1:07:57
  things
• 1:07:57
  that
• 1:07:58
  people
• 1:07:58
  have
• 1:07:59
  is
• 1:07:59
  so
• 1:07:59
  can
• 1:08:00
  you
• 1:08:00
  share
• 1:08:00
  some
• 1:08:00
  insights
• 1:08:01
  into
• 1:08:01
  your
• 1:08:02
  development
• 1:08:02
  and
• 1:08:03
  writing
• 1:08:03
  process
• 1:08:04
  that
• 1:08:04
  helps
• 1:08:05
  you
• 1:08:05
  move
• 1:08:05
  along
• 1:08:05
  to
• 1:08:06
  write
• 1:08:06
  your
• 1:08:06
  next
• 1:08:07
  book?
• 1:08:08
  That
• 1:08:08
  look
• 1:08:08
  like,
• 1:08:09
  gosh,
• 1:08:09
  that's
• 1:08:10
  such
• 1:08:10
  a.
• 1:08:10
  That
• 1:08:11
  that's
• 1:08:11
  a
• 1:08:11
  tough
• 1:08:11
  one.
• 1:08:12
  I
• 1:08:12
  first,
• 1:08:13
  I
• 1:08:13
  think
• 1:08:14
  you.
• 1:08:14
  You
• 1:08:15
  have
• 1:08:15
  to
• 1:08:15
  set
• 1:08:16
  the
• 1:08:16
  motion
• 1:08:17
  and
• 1:08:17
  the
• 1:08:17
  mood
• 1:08:17
  and
• 1:08:17
  the
• 1:08:18
  intention
• 1:08:19
  to
• 1:08:19
  sit
• 1:08:19
  and
• 1:08:19
  write.
• 1:08:21
  And
• 1:08:22
  we're
• 1:08:22
  so
• 1:08:22
  inundated
• 1:08:23
  with
• 1:08:23
  distractions
• 1:08:24
  today.
• 1:08:24
  Yes.
• 1:08:25
  And
• 1:08:25
  so
• 1:08:26
  I
• 1:08:26
  think,
• 1:08:26
  as
• 1:08:26
  for
• 1:08:27
  writers,
• 1:08:28
  you
• 1:08:28
  have
• 1:08:28
  to
• 1:08:29
  really
• 1:08:29
  be
• 1:08:29
  intentional
• 1:08:30
  and
• 1:08:30
  tune
• 1:08:31
  everything
• 1:08:31
  off
• 1:08:32
  and
• 1:08:32
  out,
• 1:08:32
  and
• 1:08:33
  you
• 1:08:33
  really
• 1:08:33
  have
• 1:08:33
  to
• 1:08:34
  find.
• 1:08:34
  You
• 1:08:34
  have
• 1:08:34
  to
• 1:08:34
  make
• 1:08:35
  an
• 1:08:35
  appointment.
• 1:08:36
  But
• 1:08:36
  for
• 1:08:36
  me,
• 1:08:36
  on
• 1:08:37
  my
• 1:08:37
  calendar,
• 1:08:38
  I
• 1:08:38
  have
• 1:08:38
  the
• 1:08:38
  days
• 1:08:38
  that
• 1:08:39
  I
• 1:08:39
  write
• 1:08:39
  in
• 1:08:40
  the
• 1:08:40
  afternoons
• 1:08:40
  that
• 1:08:40
  I
• 1:08:40
  write,
• 1:08:41
  and
• 1:08:41
  I
• 1:08:41
  dedicate
• 1:08:42
  just
• 1:08:42
  that
• 1:08:42
  time
• 1:08:43
  to
• 1:08:43
  writing.
• 1:08:44
  And
• 1:08:44
  it's
• 1:08:44
  interesting.
• 1:08:45
  I
• 1:08:45
  was
• 1:08:45
  thinking
• 1:08:46
  about
• 1:08:47
  yourself,
• 1:08:48
  and
• 1:08:49
  I
• 1:08:49
  always
• 1:08:49
  ask
• 1:08:50
  people,
• 1:08:50
  besides
• 1:08:51
  your
• 1:08:51
  personal
• 1:08:52
  experience,
• 1:08:52
  do
• 1:08:52
  you
• 1:08:53
  conduct
• 1:08:53
  any
• 1:08:54
  additional
• 1:08:54
  research?
• 1:08:55
  But
• 1:08:55
  one
• 1:08:55
  thing
• 1:08:56
  I
• 1:08:56
  found
• 1:08:56
  is
• 1:08:57
  it
• 1:08:57
  seemed
• 1:08:57
  to
• 1:08:57
  me,
• 1:08:58
  now,
• 1:08:58
  if
• 1:08:58
  I'm
• 1:08:59
  mistaken,
• 1:09:00
  please
• 1:09:00
  feel
• 1:09:01
  free
• 1:09:01
  to
• 1:09:01
  correct
• 1:09:02
  me.
• 1:09:02
  But
• 1:09:02
  it's
• 1:09:02
  almost
• 1:09:03
  like
• 1:09:03
  your
• 1:09:04
  education
• 1:09:04
  got
• 1:09:05
  harnessed
• 1:09:06
  up.
• 1:09:06
  It
• 1:09:06
  was
• 1:09:07
  like
• 1:09:07
  you
• 1:09:08
  kept
• 1:09:09
  building
• 1:09:09
  on
• 1:09:09
  your
• 1:09:09
  education,
• 1:09:10
  and
• 1:09:10
  it
• 1:09:11
  was
• 1:09:11
  looking
• 1:09:11
  for
• 1:09:11
  a
• 1:09:11
  release
• 1:09:12
  mechanism,
• 1:09:13
  and
• 1:09:14
  all
• 1:09:14
  of
• 1:09:14
  a
• 1:09:14

  things

  happen
• 1:09:18
  in

  life,
• 1:09:18
  and
• 1:09:19
  then
• 1:09:19
  all
• 1:09:19
  of
• 1:09:19
  a
• 1:09:20
  sudden
• 1:09:20
  it
• 1:09:20
  turned
• 1:09:20
  into
• 1:09:21
  a
• 1:09:21
  children's
• 1:09:21
  book.
• 1:09:22
  Series.
• 1:09:22
  Have

  I

  that
• 1:09:23

  of

  your

  educational
• 1:09:25
  experience
• 1:09:26
  and

  to
• 1:09:32
  write
• 1:09:32
  that
• 1:09:33
  down
• 1:09:33
  because
• 1:09:33
  it's
• 1:09:33
  exactly
• 1:09:34
  what
• 1:09:34
  happened.
• 1:09:34
  And
• 1:09:34
  it's
• 1:09:34
  funny
• 1:09:35
  because
• 1:09:35
  it's
• 1:09:35
  like
• 1:09:35
  that's
• 1:09:35
  how

  Bella

  horse
• 1:09:38
  really
• 1:09:39
  hurled
• 1:09:39
  in
• 1:09:39
  everything.
• 1:09:40
  It
• 1:09:40
  really
• 1:09:40
  brought
• 1:09:42
  everything
• 1:09:42
  that
• 1:09:43
  I
• 1:09:43
  was
• 1:09:43
  working
• 1:09:43
  on
• 1:09:43
  throughout
• 1:09:44
  my
• 1:09:44
  entire
• 1:09:45
  life
• 1:09:46
  to
• 1:09:47
  that
• 1:09:47
  point
• 1:09:48
  of
• 1:09:48
  writing.
• 1:09:48
  And
• 1:09:49
  like
• 1:09:49
  you
• 1:09:49
  said,
• 1:09:49
  just
• 1:09:50
  brought
• 1:09:50
  it
• 1:09:50
  all
• 1:09:50
  out.
• 1:09:50
  All
• 1:09:51
  my
• 1:09:51
  education,
• 1:09:52
  all
• 1:09:52
  my
• 1:09:52
  experiences,
• 1:09:54
  heavy
• 1:09:54
  research.
• 1:09:55
  Like,
• 1:09:55
  I
• 1:09:55
  am
• 1:09:56
  a
• 1:09:56
  heavy
• 1:09:56
  researcher.
• 1:09:57
  I
• 1:09:57
  had
• 1:09:57
  to
• 1:09:57
  be
• 1:09:57
  with
• 1:09:57
  a
• 1:09:58
  PhD
• 1:09:58
  and
• 1:09:58
  the
• 1:09:58
  degrees
• 1:09:59
  I
• 1:09:59
  have.
• 1:09:59
  Absolutely.
• 1:10:00
  My
• 1:10:00
  first
• 1:10:00
  master's,
• 1:10:01
  I
• 1:10:02
  focused
• 1:10:02
  on
• 1:10:02
  school
• 1:10:02
  violence.
• 1:10:03
  And
• 1:10:03
  my
• 1:10:04
  PhD,
• 1:10:04
  the
• 1:10:04
  framework
• 1:10:05
  is
• 1:10:05
  on
• 1:10:05
  forgiveness
• 1:10:06
  and
• 1:10:06
  resiliency.
• 1:10:08
  And
• 1:10:08
  so
• 1:10:09
  I
• 1:10:09
  researched
• 1:10:10
  those
• 1:10:10
  topics,
• 1:10:10
  and
• 1:10:10
  bullying
• 1:10:11
  was
• 1:10:11
  the
• 1:10:11
  framework,
• 1:10:12
  was
• 1:10:12
  the
• 1:10:12
  topic
• 1:10:13
  on
• 1:10:13
  my
• 1:10:13
  PhD
• 1:10:13
  dissertation.
• 1:10:15
  So
• 1:10:15
  I.
• 1:10:15
  All
• 1:10:16
  of
• 1:10:16
  that
• 1:10:16
  and
• 1:10:17
  all
• 1:10:17
  the
• 1:10:17
  research
• 1:10:17
  I've
• 1:10:18
  done,
• 1:10:19
  the
• 1:10:19
  research
• 1:10:19
  side
• 1:10:20
  for
• 1:10:21
  all
• 1:10:21
  the
• 1:10:21
  tools
• 1:10:21
  in
• 1:10:21
  my
• 1:10:22
  book
• 1:10:22
  and
• 1:10:22
  the
• 1:10:22
  writing
• 1:10:23
  in
• 1:10:23
  my
• 1:10:23
  book,
• 1:10:23
  because
• 1:10:23
  you
• 1:10:24
  gotta
• 1:10:24
  research
• 1:10:24
  a
• 1:10:24
  lot.
• 1:10:25
  It
• 1:10:26
  came
• 1:10:26
  natural
• 1:10:27
  and
• 1:10:28
  that
• 1:10:28
  came
• 1:10:28
  easy.
• 1:10:29
  I
• 1:10:29
  want
• 1:10:29
  to
• 1:10:30
  delve
• 1:10:30
  a
• 1:10:30
  bit.
• 1:10:30
  When
• 1:10:31
  we
• 1:10:31
  first
• 1:10:31
  started
• 1:10:31
  our
• 1:10:32
  conversation,
• 1:10:32
  I
• 1:10:32
  talked
• 1:10:33
  to
• 1:10:33
  you
• 1:10:33
  about
• 1:10:33
  a
• 1:10:33
  business
• 1:10:34
  book
• 1:10:34
  plan
• 1:10:34
  because.
• 1:10:35
  And
• 1:10:36
  you've
• 1:10:36
  got
• 1:10:36
  a
• 1:10:36
  beautiful
• 1:10:36
  website,
• 1:10:37
  you've
• 1:10:37
  got
• 1:10:37
  the
• 1:10:38
  development
• 1:10:38
  of
• 1:10:38
  a
• 1:10:39
  great
• 1:10:39
  book
• 1:10:39
  series.
• 1:10:40
  But
• 1:10:40
  I'm
• 1:10:41
  curious,
• 1:10:41
  I
• 1:10:41
  want
• 1:10:42
  to
• 1:10:42
  dig
• 1:10:43
  deeper
• 1:10:44
  into
• 1:10:45
  how
• 1:10:45
  do
• 1:10:45
  you
• 1:10:45
  measure
• 1:10:47
  success?
• 1:10:47
  What
• 1:10:48
  does
• 1:10:48
  success
• 1:10:48
  look
• 1:10:49
  like
• 1:10:49
  to
• 1:10:49
  you?
• 1:10:50
  And
• 1:10:50
  do
• 1:10:50
  you
• 1:10:51
  think
• 1:10:51
  it's
• 1:10:51
  changed
• 1:10:52
  a
• 1:10:52
  little
• 1:10:52
  bit
• 1:10:52
  as
• 1:10:53
  you
• 1:10:53
  now
• 1:10:53
  move
• 1:10:54
  into
• 1:10:54
  your
• 1:10:54
  second
• 1:10:54
  book
• 1:10:55
  to
• 1:10:55
  release
• 1:10:55
  your
• 1:10:56
  second
• 1:10:56
  book?
• 1:10:58
  I
• 1:10:58
  think
• 1:10:58
  too,
• 1:10:59
  success
• 1:10:59
  has
• 1:10:59
  changed
• 1:11:00
  for
• 1:11:00
  me
• 1:11:01
  over
• 1:11:02
  the
• 1:11:02
  years.
• 1:11:03
  And
• 1:11:03
  I
• 1:11:03
  think
• 1:11:04
  younger
• 1:11:04
  you
• 1:11:04
  have
• 1:11:05
  these
• 1:11:05
  ideas
• 1:11:05
  that
• 1:11:05
  you
• 1:11:06
  have
• 1:11:06
  to
• 1:11:06
  do
• 1:11:06
  this
• 1:11:06
  and
• 1:11:06
  this.
• 1:11:07
  And
• 1:11:08
  for
• 1:11:09
  me,
• 1:11:09
  it
• 1:11:09
  was
• 1:11:09
  getting
• 1:11:10
  degrees,
• 1:11:10
  and
• 1:11:11
  I
• 1:11:11
  wanted
• 1:11:11
  to
• 1:11:11
  be
• 1:11:11
  an
• 1:11:11
  educator,
• 1:11:12
  and
• 1:11:12
  that
• 1:11:13
  would
• 1:11:13
  define
• 1:11:13
  my
• 1:11:13
  success.
• 1:11:14
  And
• 1:11:14
  of
• 1:11:15
  course,
• 1:11:15
  it
• 1:11:15
  didn't.
• 1:11:16
  I
• 1:11:16
  became
• 1:11:17
  an
• 1:11:17
  educator
• 1:11:17
  and
• 1:11:18
  I
• 1:11:18
  still
• 1:11:18
  felt
• 1:11:18
  this
• 1:11:19
  yearning,
• 1:11:19
  this
• 1:11:20
  yearning
• 1:11:20
  for
• 1:11:20
  something.
• 1:11:21
  And
• 1:11:21
  I'm
• 1:11:22
  not
• 1:11:22
  sure
• 1:11:22
  if
• 1:11:22
  that
• 1:11:22
  yearning
• 1:11:23
  is
• 1:11:23
  for
• 1:11:24
  success,
• 1:11:24
  because
• 1:11:25
  I
• 1:11:25
  think.
• 1:11:26
  How
• 1:11:26
  do
• 1:11:27
  you
• 1:11:27
  define
• 1:11:28
  success?
• 1:11:28
  Success
• 1:11:29
  is,
• 1:11:30
  for
• 1:11:30
  me,
• 1:11:31
  being
• 1:11:31
  content
• 1:11:32
  and
• 1:11:32
  doing
• 1:11:32
  something
• 1:11:33
  in
• 1:11:33
  the
• 1:11:33
  world
• 1:11:34
  that
• 1:11:34
  benefits
• 1:11:35
  people,
• 1:11:36
  that
• 1:11:36
  helps
• 1:11:36
  people.
• 1:11:37
  That's
• 1:11:37
  what's
• 1:11:38
  always
• 1:11:38
  been.
• 1:11:38
  My
• 1:11:38
  goal
• 1:11:39
  is
• 1:11:39
  helping,
• 1:11:39
  helping
• 1:11:40
  others.
• 1:11:41
  So
• 1:11:41
  let's
• 1:11:41
  jump
• 1:11:42
  into
• 1:11:42
  your
• 1:11:42
  role
• 1:11:42
  of
• 1:11:43
  writing
• 1:11:43
  then.
• 1:11:44
  So
• 1:11:44
  now
• 1:11:45
  that
• 1:11:45
  you're
• 1:11:45
  a
• 1:11:46
  published
• 1:11:46
  children's
• 1:11:47
  book
• 1:11:47
  author,
• 1:11:49
  tell
• 1:11:50
  us
• 1:11:50
  what
• 1:11:50
  being
• 1:11:50
  a
• 1:11:50
  children's
• 1:11:51
  book
• 1:11:51
  author
• 1:11:51
  now
• 1:11:52
  means
• 1:11:52
  in
• 1:11:52
  the
• 1:11:52
  grand
• 1:11:53
  scheme
• 1:11:53
  of
• 1:11:53
  things
• 1:11:54
  of
• 1:11:54
  your
• 1:11:54
  life.
• 1:11:55
  That
• 1:11:56
  it
• 1:11:56
  means
• 1:11:56
  that
• 1:11:57
  I
• 1:11:57
  don't
• 1:11:57
  want
• 1:11:57
  to
• 1:11:57
  stop
• 1:11:58
  at
• 1:11:58
  just
• 1:11:58
  writing
• 1:11:58
  these
• 1:11:59
  children's
• 1:11:59
  books.
• 1:12:00
  And
• 1:12:00
  so
• 1:12:01
  I
• 1:12:01
  have
• 1:12:01
  thought
• 1:12:01
  about,
• 1:12:02
  and
• 1:12:02
  I'm
• 1:12:02
  in
• 1:12:02
  the
• 1:12:03
  process,
• 1:12:04
  actually,
• 1:12:04
  of
• 1:12:05
  developing
• 1:12:06
  what's
• 1:12:06
  called
• 1:12:07
  the
• 1:12:07
  Soar
• 1:12:08
  campaign.
• 1:12:09
  Okay.
• 1:12:10
  So
• 1:12:10
  soar
• 1:12:10
  with
• 1:12:10
  emotional
• 1:12:11
  intelligence.
• 1:12:12
  So
• 1:12:13
  for
• 1:12:13
  me,
• 1:12:13
  my
• 1:12:13
  books
• 1:12:14
  are
• 1:12:14
  just
• 1:12:15
  one
• 1:12:15
  part
• 1:12:16
  of
• 1:12:16
  this
• 1:12:17
  bigger
• 1:12:17
  plan
• 1:12:18
  that
• 1:12:18
  I
• 1:12:18
  have
• 1:12:18
  in
• 1:12:18
  my
• 1:12:19
  mind.
• 1:12:19
  So
• 1:12:19
  what's,
• 1:12:19
  how
• 1:12:20
  do
• 1:12:20
  you
• 1:12:20
  spell
• 1:12:20
  soar?
• 1:12:22
  S
• 1:12:22
  O,
• 1:12:22
  A,
• 1:12:23
  R.
• 1:12:23
  Okay.
• 1:12:24
  Like
• 1:12:24
  soaring
• 1:12:25
  in
• 1:12:25
  the
• 1:12:26
  sky.
• 1:12:26
  Okay.
• 1:12:27
  Soar
• 1:12:27
  with
• 1:12:27
  emotional
• 1:12:28
  intelligence.
• 1:12:29
  So
• 1:12:29
  my,
• 1:12:30
  my
• 1:12:31
  focus
• 1:12:31
  is
• 1:12:32
  not
• 1:12:32
  just
• 1:12:33
  the
• 1:12:33
  books,
• 1:12:33
  it's
• 1:12:34
  more
• 1:12:34
  with
• 1:12:34
  getting
• 1:12:35
  what
• 1:12:35
  is
• 1:12:35
  emotional
• 1:12:36
  intelligence?
• 1:12:37
  How
• 1:12:37
  can
• 1:12:37
  we
• 1:12:37
  get
• 1:12:37
  it
• 1:12:37
  out
• 1:12:38
  there
• 1:12:38
  in
• 1:12:38
  schools
• 1:12:38
  and
• 1:12:39
  into
• 1:12:39
  the
• 1:12:39
  communities,
• 1:12:39
  into
• 1:12:40
  every
• 1:12:41
  home?
• 1:12:41
  And
• 1:12:42
  how
• 1:12:42
  can
• 1:12:42
  we
• 1:12:42
  help
• 1:12:43
  children
• 1:12:43
  and
• 1:12:44
  adults
• 1:12:44
  build
• 1:12:44
  their
• 1:12:45
  emotional
• 1:12:45
  intelligence
• 1:12:46
  so
• 1:12:46
  that
• 1:12:46
  we
• 1:12:46
  could
• 1:12:46
  be
• 1:12:47
  such
• 1:12:48
  a
• 1:12:48
  much
• 1:12:48
  healthier
• 1:12:49
  world?
• 1:12:50
  So
• 1:12:50
  soar
• 1:12:51
  stands
• 1:12:52
  for
• 1:12:52
  self,
• 1:12:53
  others,
• 1:12:55
  awareness
• 1:12:55
  and
• 1:12:55
  resilience.
• 1:12:57
  Because
• 1:12:57
  that's
• 1:12:58
  what
• 1:12:58
  emotional
• 1:12:58
  intelligence
• 1:12:59
  is.
• 1:13:00
  It's
• 1:13:00
  understanding
• 1:13:01
  yourself
• 1:13:02
  in
• 1:13:02
  the
• 1:13:02
  feelings
• 1:13:03
  and
• 1:13:03
  emotions
• 1:13:03
  that
• 1:13:04
  you
• 1:13:04
  have,
• 1:13:05
  understanding
• 1:13:06
  that
• 1:13:06
  of
• 1:13:06
  others,
• 1:13:07
  not
• 1:13:07
  taking
• 1:13:07
  on
• 1:13:08
  the
• 1:13:08
  emotions
• 1:13:08
  and
• 1:13:09
  feelings
• 1:13:09
  of
• 1:13:09
  others.
• 1:13:09
  We
• 1:13:09
  can
• 1:13:09
  never
• 1:13:10
  do
• 1:13:10
  that.
• 1:13:10
  But
• 1:13:10
  it's
• 1:13:11
  just
• 1:13:11
  being
• 1:13:11
  in
• 1:13:11
  tune
• 1:13:11
  and
• 1:13:12
  noticing
• 1:13:12
  and
• 1:13:13
  then
• 1:13:13
  awareness,
• 1:13:13
  being
• 1:13:14
  self
• 1:13:14
  aware.
• 1:13:15
  And
• 1:13:15
  then
• 1:13:15
  you
• 1:13:15
  become
• 1:13:16
  resilient.
• 1:13:17
  You
• 1:13:17
  become
• 1:13:17
  resilient.
• 1:13:18
  And
• 1:13:18
  that's
• 1:13:18
  what
• 1:13:18
  builds
• 1:13:18
  leaders.
• 1:13:19
  And
• 1:13:20
  so
• 1:13:20
  emotional
• 1:13:21
  intelligence
• 1:13:21
  is
• 1:13:21
  about
• 1:13:22
  building
• 1:13:22
  leaders
• 1:13:23
  in
• 1:13:23
  many
• 1:13:24
  ways
• 1:13:24
  and
• 1:13:24
  it's
• 1:13:25
  about
• 1:13:25
  building
• 1:13:25
  healthy
• 1:13:26
  adults.
• 1:13:27
  And
• 1:13:27
  so
• 1:13:28
  my
• 1:13:28
  long
• 1:13:28
  term
• 1:13:29
  goal
• 1:13:29
  is
• 1:13:29
  to
• 1:13:29
  have
• 1:13:29
  that
• 1:13:30
  campaign
• 1:13:30
  and
• 1:13:30
  to
• 1:13:31
  hopefully
• 1:13:31
  have
• 1:13:31
  schools
• 1:13:32
  bring
• 1:13:32
  that
• 1:13:32
  campaign
• 1:13:33
  into
• 1:13:33
  schools
• 1:13:33
  and
• 1:13:34
  communities.
• 1:13:35
  And
• 1:13:35
  I
• 1:13:35
  can
• 1:13:35
  see
• 1:13:35
  how
• 1:13:35
  that
• 1:13:36
  can
• 1:13:36
  be
• 1:13:36
  very
• 1:13:36
  inspiring.
• 1:13:37
  So
• 1:13:38
  thank
• 1:13:38
  you
• 1:13:38
  for
• 1:13:38
  sharing
• 1:13:39
  that.
• 1:13:39
  As
• 1:13:39
  I
• 1:13:39
  mentioned
• 1:13:40
  earlier,
• 1:13:40
  we
• 1:13:41
  try
• 1:13:41
  and
• 1:13:41
  talk
• 1:13:42
  to
• 1:13:43
  aspiring
• 1:13:44
  children's
• 1:13:44
  book
• 1:13:44
  authors
• 1:13:45
  who
• 1:13:45
  might
• 1:13:45
  be
• 1:13:45
  listening
• 1:13:46
  and
• 1:13:46
  saying,
• 1:13:47
  wow,
• 1:13:47
  Deana's
• 1:13:48
  done
• 1:13:48
  a
• 1:13:48
  lot.
• 1:13:49
  This
• 1:13:49
  woman's
• 1:13:50
  incredible.
• 1:13:50
  Like,
• 1:13:50
  how
• 1:13:51
  do
• 1:13:51
  I
• 1:13:51
  ever,
• 1:13:52
  how
• 1:13:52
  can
• 1:13:52
  I
• 1:13:52
  do
• 1:13:53
  this?
• 1:13:53
  So
• 1:13:54
  what
• 1:13:54
  advice
• 1:13:55
  would
• 1:13:55
  you
• 1:13:55
  give
• 1:13:55
  an
• 1:13:56
  aspiring
• 1:13:57
  children's
• 1:13:58
  book
• 1:13:58
  authority?
• 1:14:00
  I
• 1:14:00
  would
• 1:14:01
  say
• 1:14:02
  first,
• 1:14:02
  take
• 1:14:02
  your
• 1:14:03
  idea,
• 1:14:03
  then
• 1:14:04
  just
• 1:14:04
  write
• 1:14:04
  it
• 1:14:04
  down.
• 1:14:05
  Write
• 1:14:05
  it
• 1:14:05
  down
• 1:14:06
  and
• 1:14:06
  let
• 1:14:06
  it
• 1:14:07
  transpire.
• 1:14:07
  Don't
• 1:14:08
  let
• 1:14:08
  go
• 1:14:08
  of
• 1:14:09
  that
• 1:14:09
  idea.
• 1:14:09
  Because
• 1:14:09
  no
• 1:14:10
  matter
• 1:14:10
  who
• 1:14:10
  you
• 1:14:10
  are,
• 1:14:10
  where
• 1:14:11
  you
• 1:14:11
  are
• 1:14:11
  in
• 1:14:11
  your
• 1:14:12
  journey,
• 1:14:13
  every
• 1:14:13
  single
• 1:14:14
  idea
• 1:14:15
  can
• 1:14:15
  be
• 1:14:15
  turned
• 1:14:16
  into
• 1:14:16
  a
• 1:14:16
  story.
• 1:14:17
  And
• 1:14:17
  your
• 1:14:17
  story
• 1:14:18
  matters,
• 1:14:19
  and
• 1:14:19
  that
• 1:14:20
  person's
• 1:14:20
  story
• 1:14:20
  matters,
• 1:14:20
  and
• 1:14:21
  that
• 1:14:21
  person's
• 1:14:21
  story
• 1:14:21
  matters.
• 1:14:22
  And
• 1:14:23
  if
• 1:14:23
  you
• 1:14:24
  really
• 1:14:24
  want
• 1:14:24
  to
• 1:14:25
  be
• 1:14:25
  a
• 1:14:25
  children's
• 1:14:25
  book
• 1:14:26
  authority,
• 1:14:27
  just
• 1:14:27
  keep

  writing.
• 1:14:28
  You

• 1:14:28
  work
• 1:14:29
  at
• 1:14:29
  it
• 1:14:29
  every
• 1:14:29
  single
• 1:14:29
  day.
• 1:14:30
  That's
• 1:14:30
  one
• 1:14:30
  thing
• 1:14:30
  is
• 1:14:31
  that
• 1:14:31
  you
• 1:14:31
  just,
• 1:14:31
  it
• 1:14:32
  doesn't,
• 1:14:32
  it's
• 1:14:32
  just
• 1:14:32
  not
• 1:14:32
  this
• 1:14:33
  easy
• 1:14:33
  thing
• 1:14:33
  that
• 1:14:33
  just
• 1:14:33
  happens
• 1:14:34
  overnight.
• 1:14:34
  Right?
• 1:14:35
  You
• 1:14:35
  have
• 1:14:35
  to
• 1:14:35
  work
• 1:14:35
  at
• 1:14:36
  it.

  You

  have
• 1:14:37
  to
• 1:14:37
  go
• 1:14:38
  into
• 1:14:38

  groups,
• 1:14:39
  into
• 1:14:39
  these
• 1:14:40
  author,
• 1:14:40
  children's

  book
• 1:14:41
  author

  on
• 1:14:42

  Attend

  everything
• 1:14:48
  you
• 1:14:48
  possibly

  can

  learn
• 1:14:50
  about

  writing
• 1:14:51
  and
• 1:14:51

  people.
• 1:14:54
  Thank

  you.
• 1:14:54
  And
• 1:14:55
  yeah,
• 1:14:56
  I

  always
• 1:14:56
  save
• 1:14:57
  this
• 1:14:57
  towards
• 1:14:57
  the
• 1:14:58
  end,
• 1:14:58
  but
• 1:14:58
  it's
• 1:14:58
  probably
• 1:14:59
  the
• 1:14:59
  most
• 1:14:59
  important
• 1:15:00
  piece
• 1:15:00
  and
• 1:15:01
  that's
• 1:15:01
  encouragement
• 1:15:02
  for
• 1:15:02
  readers.
• 1:15:03
  Why
• 1:15:03
  should
• 1:15:04
  readers
• 1:15:05
  read
• 1:15:05
  your
• 1:15:05
  books?
• 1:15:07
  Yeah,
• 1:15:09
  readers
• 1:15:09
  should
• 1:15:10
  read
• 1:15:10
  my
• 1:15:10
  books
• 1:15:11
  because
• 1:15:12
  it'll
• 1:15:12
  bring
• 1:15:12
  them
• 1:15:13
  into
• 1:15:14
  an
• 1:15:14
  adventure
• 1:15:15
  and
• 1:15:15
  a
• 1:15:15
  journey,
• 1:15:16
  and
• 1:15:17
  they'll
• 1:15:17
  feel
• 1:15:17
  part
• 1:15:18
  of
• 1:15:18
  that
• 1:15:18
  journey.
• 1:15:19
  They'll
• 1:15:19
  connect,
• 1:15:20
  they'll
• 1:15:20
  relate.
• 1:15:21
  They'll
• 1:15:22
  learn
• 1:15:22
  something.
• 1:15:23
  They'll
• 1:15:23
  feel,
• 1:15:24
  oh,
• 1:15:25
  I
• 1:15:25
  understand,
• 1:15:25
  Henry.
• 1:15:26
  That's
• 1:15:26
  me
• 1:15:27
  in
• 1:15:27
  this
• 1:15:27
  book.
• 1:15:28
  And
• 1:15:28
  they'll
• 1:15:28
  walk
• 1:15:28
  away.
• 1:15:29
  They'll
• 1:15:29
  walk
• 1:15:30
  away
• 1:15:30
  with
• 1:15:30
  feeling
• 1:15:31
  better
• 1:15:31
  and
• 1:15:32
  having
• 1:15:32
  tools
• 1:15:32
  to
• 1:15:33
  take
• 1:15:33
  along
• 1:15:33
  with
• 1:15:33
  them.
• 1:15:34
  Terrific.
• 1:15:36
  Final
• 1:15:36
  thoughts.
• 1:15:37
  Is
• 1:15:37
  there
• 1:15:38
  anything
• 1:15:38
  you
• 1:15:38
  said,
• 1:15:39
  oh,
• 1:15:39
  son
• 1:15:39
  of
• 1:15:39
  a
• 1:15:39
  gun.
• 1:15:40
  I
• 1:15:40
  wish
• 1:15:40
  Rick
• 1:15:40
  would
• 1:15:40
  ask
• 1:15:41
  me
• 1:15:41
  that
• 1:15:41
  one
• 1:15:42
  question.
• 1:15:43
  Is
• 1:15:43
  there
• 1:15:43
  something
• 1:15:43
  that
• 1:15:44
  you'd
• 1:15:44
  like
• 1:15:44
  to
• 1:15:46
  share
• 1:15:47
  that
• 1:15:47
  I
• 1:15:47
  didn't
• 1:15:48
  address?
• 1:15:49
  I
• 1:15:49
  don't
• 1:15:50
  think
• 1:15:50
  so,
• 1:15:50
  but
• 1:15:50
  I
• 1:15:50
  have
• 1:15:50
  a
• 1:15:50
  question.
• 1:15:51
  Absolutely.
• 1:15:52
  How
• 1:15:52
  did
• 1:15:52
  you
• 1:15:53
  come
• 1:15:53
  up
• 1:15:53
  with
• 1:15:54
  your
• 1:15:54
  first
• 1:15:54
  book?
• 1:15:55
  And
• 1:15:55
  I'm
• 1:15:55
  sure
• 1:15:55
  your
• 1:15:56
  audience
• 1:15:56
  probably
• 1:15:56
  knows
• 1:15:57
  this.
• 1:15:57
  Yes,
• 1:15:58
  they
• 1:15:58
  did.
• 1:15:58
  But
• 1:15:58
  was
• 1:15:58
  there
• 1:15:58
  something
• 1:15:59
  but?
• 1:15:59
  No.
• 1:15:59
  Thank
• 1:16:00
  you
• 1:16:00
  for
• 1:16:00
  asking.
• 1:16:00
  So
• 1:16:02
  it
• 1:16:02
  all
• 1:16:02
  started
• 1:16:03
  with
• 1:16:03
  my
• 1:16:04
  oldest
• 1:16:05
  granddaughter.
• 1:16:06
  Her
• 1:16:06
  and
• 1:16:07
  I
• 1:16:07
  spent
• 1:16:08
  a
• 1:16:08
  lot
• 1:16:08
  of
• 1:16:08
  time
• 1:16:08
  in
• 1:16:09
  the
• 1:16:09
  Rocky
• 1:16:09
  Mountains.
• 1:16:10
  We
• 1:16:10
  did
• 1:16:10
  a
• 1:16:10
  lot
• 1:16:11
  of
• 1:16:11
  adventures.
• 1:16:11
  I
• 1:16:11
  taught
• 1:16:12
  her
• 1:16:12
  how
• 1:16:12
  to
• 1:16:12
  ski,
• 1:16:13
  horseback
• 1:16:14
  ride.
• 1:16:14
  We
• 1:16:14
  did
• 1:16:15
  horseback
• 1:16:15
  riding
• 1:16:16
  in
• 1:16:16
  the
• 1:16:16
  winter.
• 1:16:16
  If
• 1:16:16
  you've
• 1:16:17
  never
• 1:16:17
  ridden
• 1:16:18
  in
• 1:16:18
  the
• 1:16:18
  snow,
• 1:16:19
  there's
• 1:16:19
  even
• 1:16:19
  different
• 1:16:20
  horseshoes
• 1:16:21
  that
• 1:16:21
  go
• 1:16:21
  on.
• 1:16:21
  The
• 1:16:21
  horses
• 1:16:22
  are
• 1:16:22
  different.
• 1:16:23
  Just
• 1:16:24
  an
• 1:16:24
  exhilarating
• 1:16:25
  experience.
• 1:16:26
  So
• 1:16:27
  her
• 1:16:27
  and
• 1:16:27
  I
• 1:16:27
  did
• 1:16:27
  a
• 1:16:27
  lot
• 1:16:28
  of
• 1:16:28
  adventures.
• 1:16:29
  I
• 1:16:29
  call
• 1:16:29
  her
• 1:16:30
  my
• 1:16:30
  digital
• 1:16:31
  baby
• 1:16:32
  because
• 1:16:32
  there
• 1:16:33
  was
• 1:16:33
  no
• 1:16:33
  film.
• 1:16:34
  Everything
• 1:16:34
  now
• 1:16:35
  is
• 1:16:35
  all
• 1:16:35
  digital,
• 1:16:36
  so
• 1:16:36
  there's
• 1:16:37
  no
• 1:16:37
  negative.
• 1:16:38
  So
• 1:16:38
  I
• 1:16:38
  call
• 1:16:38
  her
• 1:16:39
  our
• 1:16:39
  first
• 1:16:39
  digital
• 1:16:39
  baby.
• 1:16:40
  I
• 1:16:40
  have
• 1:16:41
  every
• 1:16:42
  adventure
• 1:16:44
  right
• 1:16:44
  here
• 1:16:44
  in
• 1:16:44
  my
• 1:16:46
  iPhone.
• 1:16:47
  Her
• 1:16:47
  and
• 1:16:48
  I
• 1:16:48
  would
• 1:16:48
  go
• 1:16:48
  to
• 1:16:49
  Starbucks
• 1:16:50
  and
• 1:16:50
  I'd
• 1:16:50
  buy
• 1:16:51
  her
• 1:16:51
  a
• 1:16:51
  hot
• 1:16:51
  chocolate,
• 1:16:52
  and
• 1:16:52
  she'd
• 1:16:52
  say,
• 1:16:53
  you
• 1:16:53
  know
• 1:16:53
  what,
• 1:16:53
  Papa?
• 1:16:54
  I
• 1:16:54
  know
• 1:16:55
  we
• 1:16:55
  look
• 1:16:55
  at
• 1:16:55
  these
• 1:16:55
  pictures,
• 1:16:56
  but
• 1:16:56
  you
• 1:16:57
  know
• 1:16:57
  what?
• 1:16:57
  These
• 1:16:57
  are
• 1:16:57
  all
• 1:16:58
  adventures.
• 1:16:58
  We
• 1:16:58
  should
• 1:16:59
  turn
• 1:16:59
  this
• 1:16:59
  into
• 1:17:00
  a
• 1:17:00
  children's
• 1:17:01
  book.
• 1:17:02
  And
• 1:17:02
  that's
• 1:17:02
  how
• 1:17:02
  it
• 1:17:03
  all
• 1:17:03
  started.
• 1:17:04
  And
• 1:17:04
  you
• 1:17:04
  know
• 1:17:04
  what?
• 1:17:04
  We
• 1:17:05
  wrote
• 1:17:05
  our
• 1:17:05
  first
• 1:17:06
  story,
• 1:17:06
  and
• 1:17:07
  then
• 1:17:07
  she
• 1:17:08
  said,
• 1:17:08
  oh,
• 1:17:08
  let's
• 1:17:09
  just
• 1:17:09
  write
• 1:17:09
  down
• 1:17:10
  future
• 1:17:11
  stories.
• 1:17:11
  So
• 1:17:12
  we
• 1:17:12
  used
• 1:17:12
  our
• 1:17:12
  journal,
• 1:17:12
  which
• 1:17:13
  I
• 1:17:13
  have
• 1:17:13
  behind
• 1:17:13
  me,
• 1:17:14
  and
• 1:17:14
  we
• 1:17:14
  actually
• 1:17:15
  wrote
• 1:17:15
  down.
• 1:17:15
  I
• 1:17:16
  think
• 1:17:16
  we're
• 1:17:16
  up
• 1:17:16
  to
• 1:17:16
  about
• 1:17:17
  38
• 1:17:17
  different
• 1:17:18
  stories.
• 1:17:19
  Wow.
• 1:17:20
  That's
• 1:17:20
  fantastic.
• 1:17:21
  We
• 1:17:22
  call
• 1:17:22
  her.
• 1:17:22
  She
• 1:17:23
  has
• 1:17:23
  an
• 1:17:23
  old
• 1:17:23
  soul,
• 1:17:24
  and
• 1:17:25
  she
• 1:17:25
  was
• 1:17:25
  the
• 1:17:25
  first
• 1:17:25
  grandchild
• 1:17:26
  by
• 1:17:27
  five
• 1:17:27
  years.
• 1:17:28
  So
• 1:17:28
  when
• 1:17:28
  the
• 1:17:28
  other
• 1:17:28
  grandchildren
• 1:17:29
  started
• 1:17:29
  coming,
• 1:17:30
  she
• 1:17:30
  was,
• 1:17:31
  like,
• 1:17:31
  the
• 1:17:31
  focal
• 1:17:32
  point.
• 1:17:32
  The
• 1:17:32
  other
• 1:17:33
  grandchildren
• 1:17:34
  were
• 1:17:34
  relying
• 1:17:35
  on
• 1:17:35
  her
• 1:17:35
  wisdom
• 1:17:36
  and
• 1:17:36
  her
• 1:17:37
  life
• 1:17:37
  experiences
• 1:17:38
  to
• 1:17:38
  help
• 1:17:39
  them.
• 1:17:39
  My
• 1:17:40
  middle
• 1:17:40
  granddaughter
• 1:17:41
  and
• 1:17:42
  my
• 1:17:42
  oldest
• 1:17:43
  granddaughter,
• 1:17:43
  we
• 1:17:44
  wrote
• 1:17:44
  our
• 1:17:44
  second
• 1:17:44
  book,
• 1:17:45
  which
• 1:17:45
  is
• 1:17:45
  called
• 1:17:45
  hi
• 1:17:46
  Jinks
• 1:17:46
  from
• 1:17:46
  the
• 1:17:46
  Big
• 1:17:47
  Head
• 1:17:47
  Folk
• 1:17:47
  Music
• 1:17:48
  Festival.
• 1:17:49
  And
• 1:17:49
  so
• 1:17:50
  the
• 1:17:50
  other
• 1:17:50
  thing
• 1:17:51
  that
• 1:17:51
  I've
• 1:17:51
  got
• 1:17:51
  my
• 1:17:51
  grandchild
• 1:17:52
  involved
• 1:17:52
  in
• 1:17:53
  is
• 1:17:53
  we've
• 1:17:54
  taken
• 1:17:54
  about
• 1:17:55
  half
• 1:17:55
  of
• 1:17:55
  our
• 1:17:56
  stories
• 1:17:56
  and
• 1:17:57
  made
• 1:17:57
  them
• 1:17:57
  into
• 1:17:57
  audiobooks
• 1:17:59
  because
• 1:17:59
  of
• 1:17:59
  their
• 1:18:00
  young
• 1:18:00
  voice
• 1:18:00
  right
• 1:18:00
  now.
• 1:18:01
  That's
• 1:18:01
  fantastic.
• 1:18:02
  Yeah.
• 1:18:03
  So
• 1:18:03
  that's
• 1:18:03
  how
• 1:18:03
  it
• 1:18:03
  all
• 1:18:04
  started
• 1:18:04
  for
• 1:18:04
  us.
• 1:18:05
  And
• 1:18:05
  I
• 1:18:05
  think
• 1:18:05
  that's
• 1:18:05
  a
• 1:18:05
  good
• 1:18:05
  point.
• 1:18:06
  I
• 1:18:06
  think
• 1:18:06
  when
• 1:18:06
  you
• 1:18:07
  sit
• 1:18:07
  down
• 1:18:07
  and
• 1:18:07
  you
• 1:18:07
  write
• 1:18:07
  the
• 1:18:08
  first
• 1:18:08
  story,
• 1:18:08
  I
• 1:18:08
  think
• 1:18:09
  after
• 1:18:09
  the
• 1:18:09
  first
• 1:18:09
  one,
• 1:18:10
  there's
• 1:18:11
  just
• 1:18:11
  so
• 1:18:11
  many
• 1:18:11
  other
• 1:18:12
  ideas
• 1:18:12
  that
• 1:18:12
  start
• 1:18:12
  flooding
• 1:18:13
  in.
• 1:18:13
  Absolutely.
• 1:18:14
  For
• 1:18:14
  other
• 1:18:15
  stories,
• 1:18:15
  I
• 1:18:15
  couldn't
• 1:18:16
  agree
• 1:18:16
  with
• 1:18:16
  you
• 1:18:16
  more.
• 1:18:16
  And
• 1:18:17
  that's
• 1:18:17
  what
• 1:18:17
  I'm
• 1:18:17
  finding
• 1:18:18
  with
• 1:18:18
  most
• 1:18:19
  of
• 1:18:19
  my
• 1:18:19
  guests
• 1:18:20
  is
• 1:18:20
  there's
• 1:18:21
  no
• 1:18:21
  one
• 1:18:21
  and
• 1:18:21
  done.
• 1:18:21
  It's
• 1:18:22
  like
• 1:18:22
  a
• 1:18:22
  freight
• 1:18:22
  train.
• 1:18:23
  It
• 1:18:23
  keeps
• 1:18:23
  going
• 1:18:24
  down
• 1:18:24
  the
• 1:18:24
  track.
• 1:18:24
  And
• 1:18:25
  it
• 1:18:25
  gets
• 1:18:25
  easier
• 1:18:25
  and
• 1:18:25
  easier
• 1:18:26
  to
• 1:18:27
  write
• 1:18:27
  the
• 1:18:27
  stories,
• 1:18:28
  too.
• 1:18:28
  I
• 1:18:28
  feel
• 1:18:28
  like
• 1:18:29
  the
• 1:18:29
  first
• 1:18:29
  one,
• 1:18:29
  it
• 1:18:29
  was
• 1:18:29
  just
• 1:18:30
  so
• 1:18:30
  difficult.
• 1:18:30
  Cause
• 1:18:30
  I've
• 1:18:31
  never
• 1:18:31
  written
• 1:18:31
  a
• 1:18:31
  children's
• 1:18:31
  book
• 1:18:32
  before,
• 1:18:32
  and
• 1:18:32
  I
• 1:18:32
  write
• 1:18:33
  in
• 1:18:33
  an
• 1:18:33
  educational
• 1:18:34
  way.
• 1:18:34
  Now
• 1:18:34
  I
• 1:18:35
  have
• 1:18:35
  to
• 1:18:35
  write
• 1:18:35
  with
• 1:18:35
  these
• 1:18:36
  three
• 1:18:36
  characters.
• 1:18:37
  Absolutely.
• 1:18:38
  Absolutely.
