• 5:47
  It's.
• 5:47
  It's
• 5:48
  a
• 5:48
  great
• 5:48
  pleasure.
• 5:49
  It
• 5:49
  was
• 5:49
  my
• 5:50
  pleasure
• 5:50
  as
• 5:50
  well.
• 5:51
  And
• 5:51
  I
• 5:51
  had
• 5:51
  a
• 5:52
  chance,
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  course,
• 5:52
  as
• 5:53
  you
• 5:53
  can
• 5:53
  see
• 5:53
  in
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  background,
• 5:54
  we
• 5:54
  have
• 5:55
  your
• 5:55
  book.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:56
  it's
• 5:56
  just
• 5:57
  a
• 5:57
  fun
• 5:58
  story.
• 5:59
  It's
• 5:59
  interesting
• 6:00
  because
• 6:01
  at
• 6:01
  least
• 6:01
  a
• 6:01
  couple
• 6:01
  of
• 6:02
  times
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  year
• 6:02
  I
• 6:03
  have
• 6:03
  five
• 6:03
  grandchildren.
• 6:04
  And
• 6:05
  one
• 6:05
  of
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  things
• 6:05
  that
• 6:06
  we
• 6:06
  like
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  do
• 6:06
  together
• 6:07
  as
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  family
• 6:08
  is
• 6:08
  go
• 6:09
  bowling.
• 6:09
  I'm
• 6:10
  looking
• 6:10
  forward
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  sharing
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  book
• 6:12
  with
• 6:12
  my
• 6:12
  grandchildren
• 6:13
  over
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  holidays.
• 6:15
  So
• 6:15
  can
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  tell
• 6:16
  us
• 6:16
  a
• 6:17
  little
• 6:17
  bit
• 6:17
  about
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  inspiration
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  how
• 6:21
  it
• 6:21
  all
• 6:21
  started
• 6:21
  for
• 6:22
  you?
• 6:22
  My
• 6:23
  name
• 6:23
  is
• 6:23
  Chelsea
• 6:23
  Kim.
• 6:24
  I'm
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  author
• 6:25
  of
• 6:25
  Carol
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  Caribou
• 6:26
  for
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  Salad
• 6:27
  Bowl.
• 6:27
  So
• 6:28
  when
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  set
• 6:28
  out
• 6:29
  to
• 6:29
  write
• 6:29
  Carol
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  Caribou
• 6:30
  for
• 6:30
  the
• 6:31
  Salad
• 6:31
  Bowl,
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  wanted
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  reflect
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  world
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  saw
• 6:34
  in
• 6:34
  my
• 6:35
  classroom.
• 6:36
  I
• 6:36
  saw
• 6:36
  it
• 6:37
  as
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  vibrant
• 6:38
  mix
• 6:39
  of
• 6:40
  personality,
• 6:41
  strengths,
• 6:42
  and
• 6:42
  the
• 6:43
  stories.
• 6:44
  Teaching
• 6:44
  in
• 6:45
  school
• 6:45
  taught
• 6:45
  me
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  no
• 6:46
  two
• 6:46
  students
• 6:47
  are
• 6:47
  alike.
• 6:48
  Some
• 6:48
  colors
• 6:49
  were
• 6:49
  like
• 6:49
  boldly
• 6:50
  outside
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  lines.
• 6:52
  As
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  can
• 6:52
  see,
• 6:52
  like
• 6:52
  students,
• 6:53
  when
• 6:53
  they
• 6:53
  color,
• 6:54
  right,
• 6:55
  they
• 6:55
  don't
• 6:55
  all
• 6:55
  color
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  same,
• 6:56
  as
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  can
• 6:57
  tell.
• 6:57
  Like
• 6:57
  with
• 6:58
  your
• 6:58
  five
• 6:58
  grandchildren,
• 6:59
  probably
• 6:59
  saw
• 6:59
  them
• 6:59
  colored
• 7:00
  differently,
• 7:00
  right?
• 7:01
  Absolutely.
• 7:02
  Tricked
• 7:03
  very
• 7:03
  carefully
• 7:04
  within
• 7:04
  them.
• 7:05
  But
• 7:05
  each
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  them
• 7:06
  has
• 7:06
  something
• 7:06
  unique
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  bring
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  the
• 7:08
  table.
• 7:08
  That
• 7:09
  was
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  heart
• 7:09
  of
• 7:09
  the
• 7:10
  story.
• 7:10
  Everyone
• 7:10
  belongs,
• 7:11
  and
• 7:11
  others
• 7:12
  were
• 7:12
  very
• 7:13
  different.
• 7:13
  That's
• 7:14
  what
• 7:14
  makes
• 7:14
  us
• 7:14
  stronger.
• 7:15
  So
• 7:15
  that's
• 7:15
  where
• 7:15
  the
• 7:16
  whole
• 7:16
  idea
• 7:17
  of
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  salad
• 7:18
  bowl
• 7:18
  came
• 7:18
  from.
• 7:19
  And
• 7:19
  that's
• 7:19
  where
• 7:19
  the
• 7:20
  inspiration
• 7:21
  came
• 7:21
  from.
• 7:21
  Where
• 7:21
  it
• 7:21
  came
• 7:22
  from
• 7:22
  my
• 7:22
  students.
• 7:23
  Just
• 7:23
  out
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  curiosity,
• 7:25
  was
• 7:26
  bowling
• 7:27
  something
• 7:27
  that
• 7:27
  maybe
• 7:28
  you
• 7:28
  did
• 7:28
  with
• 7:29
  your
• 7:29
  students?
• 7:29
  I
• 7:30
  know
• 7:30
  schools
• 7:30
  take
• 7:31
  do
• 7:31
  field
• 7:32
  trips.
• 7:32
  Was
• 7:32
  that
• 7:33
  one
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  field
• 7:34
  trips
• 7:34
  or
• 7:34
  how
• 7:34
  did
• 7:35
  this
• 7:35
  whole
• 7:35
  bowling
• 7:36
  idea
• 7:36
  come
• 7:36
  up?
• 7:37
  Oh,
• 7:37
  that's
• 7:37
  an
• 7:37
  excellent
• 7:38
  question.
• 7:38
  When
• 7:39
  I
• 7:39
  was
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  kid,
• 7:39
  I
• 7:40
  think
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  believe
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  was
• 7:41
  seven
• 7:41
  or
• 7:42
  eight
• 7:42
  years
• 7:42
  old,
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  went
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  bowling
• 7:44
  often
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  Los
• 7:46
  Angeles.
• 7:46
  There's
• 7:46
  a
• 7:47
  bowling
• 7:47
  alley
• 7:47
  in
• 7:47
  Koreatown.
• 7:48
  I
• 7:49
  went
• 7:49
  there
• 7:49
  pretty
• 7:50
  often
• 7:50
  during
• 7:51
  weekends
• 7:51
  with
• 7:51
  my
• 7:52
  friends.
• 7:53
  And
• 7:54
  as
• 7:54
  I
• 7:54
  was
• 7:54
  going
• 7:55
  there
• 7:55
  with
• 7:55
  my
• 7:55
  friends,
• 7:56
  I
• 7:57
  realized
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  was
• 7:58
  my
• 7:59
  hobby.
• 8:00
  I
• 8:00
  have
• 8:00
  to
• 8:01
  keep
• 8:01
  thinking
• 8:01
  about
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  remnants
• 8:02
  of
• 8:02
  the
• 8:03
  whole
• 8:03
  memories
• 8:03
  when
• 8:03
  I
• 8:04
  was
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  kid.
• 8:04
  Sure.
• 8:05
  When
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  become
• 8:05
  a
• 8:06
  teacher,
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  want
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  take
• 8:07
  this
• 8:07
  with
• 8:07
  my
• 8:07
  students.
• 8:08
  And
• 8:09
  when
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  became
• 8:09
  a
• 8:10
  teacher,
• 8:10
  that's
• 8:11
  when
• 8:11
  I
• 8:11
  got
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  opportunity
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  take
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  kids.
• 8:13
  And
• 8:13
  all
• 8:14
  my
• 8:14
  students
• 8:14
  were
• 8:14
  like,
• 8:14
  why
• 8:15
  bully
• 8:15
  isn't
• 8:16
  bully
• 8:16
  for
• 8:16
  more
• 8:16
  older
• 8:17
  people?
• 8:17
  And
• 8:17
  I'm
• 8:17
  like,
• 8:17
  you
• 8:18
  guys,
• 8:18
  this
• 8:18
  is
• 8:18
  pretty
• 8:19
  fun.
• 8:19
  And
• 8:19
  all
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  kids
• 8:20
  really
• 8:20
  enjoy
• 8:20
  bullying.
• 8:21
  And
• 8:21
  ads
• 8:22
  were
• 8:23
  saying,
• 8:23
  oh,
• 8:23
  I
• 8:24
  can't
• 8:24
  make
• 8:24
  it.
• 8:24
  How
• 8:25
  come
• 8:25
  other
• 8:25
  kids
• 8:25
  could
• 8:26
  strike?
• 8:26
  And
• 8:26
  other
• 8:27
  kids
• 8:27
  were
• 8:27
  like,
• 8:28
  oh,
• 8:28
  man,
• 8:28
  I
• 8:29
  missed
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  strike.
• 8:30
  And
• 8:30
  other
• 8:30
  Kids
• 8:30
  were
• 8:31
  like,
• 8:31
  oh,
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  only
• 8:31
  made
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  spare
• 8:32
  Mrs.
• 8:33
  Kim.
• 8:33
  And
• 8:33
  I'm
• 8:33
  like,
• 8:34
  guys,
• 8:34
  that's
• 8:35
  life.
• 8:36
  And
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  like,
• 8:36
  eureka.
• 8:37
  This
• 8:37
  is
• 8:38
  about
• 8:38
  life.
• 8:38
  And
• 8:38
  I
• 8:39
  resonated
• 8:40
  bullying
• 8:40
  as
• 8:41
  life
• 8:41
  because
• 8:41
  some
• 8:41
  of
• 8:42
  sometimes
• 8:42
  in
• 8:43
  life
• 8:43
  we
• 8:44
  miss,
• 8:44
  we
• 8:44
  make
• 8:45
  strikes,
• 8:45
  we
• 8:45
  make
• 8:46
  sp.
• 8:46
  And
• 8:46
  I
• 8:46
  put
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  two
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  two
• 8:48
  together
• 8:48
  into
• 8:48
  my
• 8:49
  book.
• 8:49
  Where
• 8:49
  live
• 8:49
  is
• 8:50
  basically
• 8:51
  like
• 8:51
  a
• 8:51
  bowling.
• 8:52
  Absolutely.
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  could,
• 8:53
  like
• 8:53
  I
• 8:54
  said
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  you,
• 8:54
  I
• 8:54
  can
• 8:54
  see
• 8:54
  that
• 8:55
  through
• 8:55
  my
• 8:55
  grandchildren
• 8:56
  and
• 8:56
  how
• 8:57
  they
• 8:57
  support
• 8:58
  each
• 8:58
  other.
• 8:59
  And
• 8:59
  it
• 9:00
  creates
• 9:00
  quite
• 9:01
  a
• 9:01
  bit
• 9:01
  of
• 9:01
  laughter
• 9:02
  too.
• 9:02
  Right.
• 9:02
  Because
• 9:03
  when
• 9:03
  you
• 9:03
  throw
• 9:04
  your
• 9:04
  ball
• 9:04
  in
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  gutter
• 9:05
  and
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  don't.
• 9:06
  And
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  don't
• 9:07
  knock
• 9:07
  any
• 9:07
  pins
• 9:08
  down
• 9:08
  at
• 9:08
  all,
• 9:09
  it
• 9:09
  can
• 9:10
  be
• 9:10
  quite
• 9:10
  funny.
• 9:11
  Most
• 9:11
  times
• 9:12
  it's
• 9:12
  taken
• 9:13
  that
• 9:13
  way.
• 9:13
  Nobody's
• 9:14
  too
• 9:15
  serious
• 9:15
  about
• 9:15
  it.
• 9:16
  Yes,
• 9:17
  exactly.
• 9:18
  Exactly.
• 9:18
  That's
• 9:18
  how
• 9:19
  I
• 9:19
  put
• 9:19
  two
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  two
• 9:19
  together.
• 9:20
  And
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  had
• 9:21
  to
• 9:21
  put
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  in
• 9:21
  my
• 9:21
  book
• 9:22
  somehow.
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  was
• 9:23
  like,
• 9:23
  how
• 9:23
  can
• 9:23
  I
• 9:24
  put
• 9:24
  a
• 9:25
  bowling
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  vegetable
• 9:27
  two
• 9:27
  and
• 9:28
  two
• 9:28
  together?
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  was
• 9:28
  like,
• 9:29
  perfect.
• 9:29
  A
• 9:29
  salad
• 9:29
  bowl.
• 9:30
  There
• 9:30
  you
• 9:30
  go.
• 9:31
  Absolutely.
• 9:32
  That's
• 9:32
  fantastic.
• 9:33
  And
• 9:34
  I'm
• 9:34
  curious
• 9:35
  about
• 9:35
  your
• 9:36
  publishing
• 9:36
  approach.
• 9:37
  Everybody
• 9:37
  has.
• 9:38
  That's
• 9:38
  one
• 9:38
  of
• 9:38
  the
• 9:39
  big
• 9:39
  things
• 9:39
  when
• 9:39
  I
• 9:39
  was
• 9:40
  first
• 9:40
  starting
• 9:41
  out
• 9:41
  as
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  children's
• 9:42
  book
• 9:42
  author
• 9:42
  was
• 9:43
  how
• 9:43
  was
• 9:43
  I
• 9:44
  going
• 9:44
  to
• 9:44
  publish
• 9:45
  this
• 9:45
  book?
• 9:45
  Whether.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  I
• 9:47
  really
• 9:47
  wasn't
• 9:48
  sure
• 9:48
  about.
• 9:49
  I
• 9:49
  knew
• 9:49
  about
• 9:50
  traditional
• 9:51
  publishing,
• 9:51
  but
• 9:51
  I
• 9:51
  didn't
• 9:52
  even
• 9:52
  know
• 9:52
  that
• 9:53
  self
• 9:53
  publishing
• 9:54
  was
• 9:54
  an
• 9:54
  option.
• 9:55
  So
• 9:55
  that
• 9:55
  was
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  approach
• 9:56
  that
• 9:57
  we
• 9:57
  took
• 9:58
  is
• 9:58
  that
• 9:58
  we
• 9:59
  found
• 9:59
  that
• 9:59
  self
• 9:59
  publishing
• 10:00
  was
• 10:01
  a
• 10:01
  good
• 10:01
  option
• 10:01
  for
• 10:02
  us.
• 10:02
  But
• 10:02
  can
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  tell
• 10:03
  us
• 10:03
  a
• 10:03
  little
• 10:03
  bit
• 10:04
  about
• 10:04
  your
• 10:05
  story
• 10:05
  and
• 10:06
  about
• 10:06
  how
• 10:07
  did
• 10:07
  you
• 10:07
  go
• 10:07
  about
• 10:08
  publishing
• 10:08
  your
• 10:08
  book?
• 10:09
  So
• 10:09
  my
• 10:10
  journey
• 10:10
  is
• 10:10
  very
• 10:11
  interesting
• 10:11
  that
• 10:11
  I
• 10:11
  was
• 10:11
  very
• 10:11
  lucky
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  find
• 10:12
  a
• 10:12
  publishing
• 10:13
  company
• 10:13
  called
• 10:13
  Marian
• 10:14
  Laundry.
• 10:14
  Publishing
• 10:15
  was
• 10:16
  such
• 10:16
  an
• 10:16
  incredible
• 10:17
  experience.
• 10:18
  So
• 10:18
  the
• 10:18
  company,
• 10:19
  they
• 10:20
  really
• 10:20
  blend
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  best
• 10:21
  of
• 10:21
  both
• 10:21
  worlds.
• 10:21
  There's
• 10:22
  a
• 10:22
  traditional
• 10:22
  and
• 10:23
  a
• 10:23
  self
• 10:23
  publishing
• 10:24
  company.
• 10:25
  They
• 10:25
  offer
• 10:25
  a
• 10:26
  professional
• 10:26
  service
• 10:27
  like
• 10:27
  editing
• 10:28
  book
• 10:28
  design
• 10:29
  while
• 10:29
  still
• 10:29
  allowing
• 10:30
  authors
• 10:30
  like
• 10:31
  me
• 10:31
  to
• 10:32
  retain
• 10:32
  full
• 10:33
  creative
• 10:34
  control
• 10:34
  rights
• 10:35
  to
• 10:35
  our
• 10:36
  work.
• 10:36
  I
• 10:36
  was
• 10:37
  able
• 10:37
  to
• 10:37
  publish
• 10:37
  my
• 10:38
  book
• 10:38
  through
• 10:38
  a
• 10:38
  print
• 10:39
  on
• 10:39
  demand
• 10:40
  system
• 10:40
  which
• 10:41
  gave
• 10:41
  me
• 10:41
  the
• 10:41
  more
• 10:42
  flexibility
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  focus
• 10:43
  on
• 10:44
  my
• 10:44
  own
• 10:45
  marketing
• 10:45
  strategy,
• 10:46
  which
• 10:47
  was
• 10:47
  very.
• 10:48
  It
• 10:48
  really
• 10:48
  stood
• 10:48
  out
• 10:48
  to
• 10:49
  my
• 10:49
  mentorship.
• 10:49
  I
• 10:50
  really
• 10:50
  received
• 10:50
  through
• 10:51
  that
• 10:51
  company
• 10:51
  and
• 10:52
  it
• 10:52
  was
• 10:52
  very
• 10:52
  invaluable.
• 10:53
  It
• 10:53
  didn't
• 10:53
  really
• 10:54
  just
• 10:54
  help
• 10:54
  me
• 10:54
  grow
• 10:55
  as
• 10:55
  an
• 10:55
  author,
• 10:56
  but
• 10:56
  also
• 10:57
  position
• 10:57
  me
• 10:57
  as
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  role
• 10:58
  model
• 10:58
  for
• 10:59
  other
• 10:59
  aspiring
• 11:00
  authors.
• 11:00
  And
• 11:00
  I
• 11:00
  was
• 11:01
  getting
• 11:01
  to
• 11:02
  really
• 11:03
  focus
• 11:03
  on
• 11:03
  my
• 11:04
  creative
• 11:04
  side
• 11:05
  part
• 11:05
  of
• 11:05
  as
• 11:05
  an
• 11:05
  author
• 11:06
  while
• 11:06
  they
• 11:07
  worked
• 11:07
  with
• 11:07
  me
• 11:08
  as
• 11:08
  with
• 11:08
  the
• 11:09
  author
• 11:09
  part
• 11:09
  of
• 11:09
  it.
• 11:09
  So
• 11:10
  I
• 11:10
  can
• 11:10
  really
• 11:10
  focus
• 11:11
  on
• 11:11
  both
• 11:11
  because
• 11:12
  without
• 11:12
  their
• 11:12
  help,
• 11:12
  I
• 11:13
  don't
• 11:13
  think
• 11:13
  I
• 11:13
  was
• 11:13
  able
• 11:14
  to
• 11:14
  really
• 11:15
  put
• 11:15
  that
• 11:16
  together
• 11:16
  during
• 11:17
  my
• 11:17
  Author
• 11:17
  journey,
• 11:17
  if
• 11:18
  that
• 11:18
  makes
• 11:18
  sense.
• 11:18
  Right.
• 11:18
  I
• 11:19
  was
• 11:19
  fortunate
• 11:20
  too
• 11:20
  because
• 11:21
  I
• 11:21
  was
• 11:22
  one
• 11:22
  of
• 11:22
  the
• 11:23
  people
• 11:23
  that
• 11:23
  I
• 11:24
  just
• 11:24
  happened
• 11:24
  to
• 11:24
  run
• 11:25
  into
• 11:26
  was
• 11:26
  a
• 11:27
  self
• 11:27
  published
• 11:28
  author
• 11:29
  and
• 11:29
  he
• 11:29
  was
• 11:29
  also
• 11:30
  a
• 11:31
  website
• 11:31
  designer
• 11:32
  and
• 11:32
  a
• 11:33
  book
• 11:33
  designer,
• 11:34
  including
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  format.
• 11:35
  It
• 11:35
  just
• 11:35
  was
• 11:36
  one
• 11:36
  of
• 11:36
  those
• 11:36
  things
• 11:36
  for
• 11:37
  me
• 11:37
  that
• 11:38
  we
• 11:38
  got
• 11:38
  very
• 11:38
  lucky
• 11:39
  that
• 11:39
  we
• 11:39
  had
• 11:40
  somebody
• 11:41
  like
• 11:41
  that.
• 11:41
  It
• 11:42
  sounds
• 11:42
  like
• 11:42
  you
• 11:43
  enjoyed
• 11:43
  your
• 11:43
  experience.
• 11:44
  So
• 11:45
  you
• 11:45
  self
• 11:45
  published,
• 11:46
  is
• 11:46
  that
• 11:47
  correct?
• 11:47
  So
• 11:48
  yeah,
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  did.
• 11:49
  It
• 11:49
  was
• 11:49
  a
• 11:49
  hybrid
• 11:50
  published,
• 11:50
  so
• 11:52
  published.
• 11:52
  So
• 11:53
  I
• 11:53
  guess
• 11:53
  it's
• 11:53
  50.
• 11:54
  50.
• 11:54
  Yes.
• 11:54
  Okay.
• 11:55
  And
• 11:55
  so
• 11:56
  in
• 11:57
  terms
• 11:57
  of
• 11:57
  your
• 11:57
  distribution,
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  course,
• 12:00
  as
• 12:00
  you
• 12:00
  can
• 12:00
  see,
• 12:00
  I've
• 12:01
  got
• 12:01
  your
• 12:01
  book
• 12:01
  behind
• 12:01
  me,
• 12:02
  which
• 12:02
  I
• 12:02
  purchased
• 12:03
  through
• 12:03
  Amazon.
• 12:04
  So
• 12:05
  maybe
• 12:06
  you
• 12:06
  could
• 12:06
  just
• 12:06
  give
• 12:06
  us
• 12:06
  a
• 12:07
  feel
• 12:07
  for
• 12:08
  when
• 12:08
  you
• 12:08
  say
• 12:08
  you're
• 12:08
  50.
• 12:09
  50.
• 12:09
  So
• 12:10
  tell
• 12:10
  us
• 12:10
  a
• 12:10
  little
• 12:11
  bit
• 12:11
  about
• 12:11
  your
• 12:11
  sales.
• 12:12
  So
• 12:13
  is
• 12:13
  there
• 12:13
  some
• 12:14
  retail?
• 12:15
  Is
• 12:15
  it
• 12:15
  mostly
• 12:16
  online?
• 12:17
  Is
• 12:17
  it
• 12:17
  mostly
• 12:18
  Amazon
• 12:18
  and
• 12:19
  online
• 12:19
  driven
• 12:20
  or
• 12:20
  how
• 12:20
  are
• 12:20
  you
• 12:21
  selling
• 12:21
  your
• 12:22
  book?
• 12:22
  So
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  sell
• 12:23
  my
• 12:23
  book
• 12:24
  mostly
• 12:24
  on
• 12:24
  Amazon.
• 12:25
  The
• 12:25
  reason
• 12:25
  I
• 12:26
  did
• 12:26
  that
• 12:26
  is
• 12:26
  to
• 12:26
  just
• 12:27
  organize
• 12:28
  and
• 12:28
  just
• 12:28
  stay
• 12:28
  put
• 12:29
  on
• 12:29
  that
• 12:29
  so
• 12:29
  I
• 12:30
  don't
• 12:30
  have
• 12:30
  to
• 12:30
  because
• 12:30
  I
• 12:30
  do
• 12:31
  a
• 12:31
  lot
• 12:31
  of.
• 12:31
  I
• 12:32
  wear
• 12:32
  different
• 12:32
  hats.
• 12:33
  I'm
• 12:33
  actually
• 12:34
  a
• 12:34
  podcast
• 12:34
  host.
• 12:35
  I
• 12:36
  actually
• 12:36
  sell
• 12:36
  merch.
• 12:37
  I
• 12:38
  also
• 12:38
  do
• 12:38
  my
• 12:38
  other
• 12:39
  online
• 12:39
  courses.
• 12:40
  I'm
• 12:40
  trying
• 12:40
  to
• 12:40
  launch
• 12:41
  next
• 12:41
  year.
• 12:41
  I'm
• 12:41
  doing
• 12:42
  so
• 12:42
  many
• 12:42
  things
• 12:42
  at
• 12:43
  once
• 12:43
  and
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  cannot
• 12:44
  focus
• 12:44
  on
• 12:44
  just
• 12:45
  selling
• 12:45
  my
• 12:45
  book
• 12:46
  everywhere
• 12:46
  because
• 12:47
  I'm
• 12:47
  very
• 12:47
  prone
• 12:48
  to
• 12:48
  tech.
• 12:48
  So
• 12:49
  I'm
• 12:49
  just
• 12:49
  like,
• 12:49
  I
• 12:49
  just
• 12:49
  want
• 12:50
  to
• 12:50
  stay
• 12:50
  in
• 12:50
  one,
• 12:50
  put
• 12:51
  on
• 12:51
  my
• 12:51
  book
• 12:51
  sales.
• 12:52
  So
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  just
• 12:52
  have
• 12:53
  Amazon.
• 12:53
  And
• 12:54
  also
• 12:54
  IngramSpark
• 12:55
  is
• 12:55
  more
• 12:55
  for
• 12:55
  distribution
• 12:56
  purposes.
• 12:57
  Right.
• 12:57
  And
• 12:58
  if
• 12:58
  that
• 12:58
  makes
• 12:58
  more
• 12:58
  sense
• 12:59
  on
• 12:59
  that
• 12:59
  part
• 12:59
  of
• 12:59
  book
• 13:00
  sales.
• 13:00
  Yeah,
• 13:01
  I'm
• 13:01
  not
• 13:01
  selling
• 13:01
  tons
• 13:02
  of
• 13:02
  book,
• 13:02
  but
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  think
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  just
• 13:03
  put
• 13:03
  on
• 13:03
  that
• 13:04
  marketing
• 13:04
  sales
• 13:05
  on
• 13:05
  just
• 13:05
  focusing
• 13:06
  on
• 13:06
  the
• 13:06
  Amazon.
• 13:07
  And
• 13:07
  you
• 13:08
  know
• 13:08
  what,
• 13:08
  we,
• 13:08
  I
• 13:09
  find
• 13:09
  even
• 13:10
  for
• 13:10
  ourselves,
• 13:11
  we're
• 13:11
  very
• 13:12
  much,
• 13:12
  very
• 13:13
  similar.
• 13:14
  Amazon,
• 13:14
  of
• 13:15
  course,
• 13:15
  we
• 13:15
  have
• 13:15
  set
• 13:16
  it
• 13:16
  up
• 13:16
  through
• 13:16
  ingramsparks
• 13:17
  also,
• 13:18
  so
• 13:18
  that
• 13:18
  gives
• 13:18
  us
• 13:19
  a
• 13:19
  broader
• 13:20
  reach.
• 13:20
  We've
• 13:21
  been
• 13:21
  fortunate
• 13:21
  too
• 13:22
  because
• 13:22
  our
• 13:22
  book
• 13:22
  is
• 13:23
  takes
• 13:23
  place
• 13:23
  in
• 13:24
  the
• 13:24
  Rocky
• 13:24
  Mountains
• 13:25
  and
• 13:26
  we're
• 13:26
  very
• 13:27
  fortunate
• 13:27
  that
• 13:27
  we
• 13:28
  have
• 13:28
  friends
• 13:29
  who
• 13:29
  own
• 13:29
  a
• 13:29
  bookstore
• 13:30
  in
• 13:30
  the
• 13:30
  Rocky
• 13:31
  Mountains
• 13:32
  and
• 13:32
  they've
• 13:32
  been
• 13:32
  doing
• 13:33
  very
• 13:33
  well
• 13:33
  with
• 13:33
  our
• 13:33
  book.
• 13:34
  Do
• 13:34
  you
• 13:34
  make
• 13:35
  any
• 13:35
  school
• 13:36
  visits
• 13:36
  or
• 13:37
  do
• 13:38
  public
• 13:38
  readings
• 13:39
  or
• 13:40
  what
• 13:40
  about
• 13:40
  what's
• 13:41
  your
• 13:41
  approach
• 13:41
  there?
• 13:42
  Yes,
• 13:42
  I
• 13:42
  do
• 13:43
  school
• 13:43
  visits.
• 13:44
  I
• 13:44
  do
• 13:44
  virtual
• 13:44
  visits
• 13:46
  recently.
• 13:46
  So
• 13:46
  I
• 13:46
  did
• 13:47
  my
• 13:47
  book
• 13:47
  launch
• 13:47
  in
• 13:47
  July.
• 13:48
  So
• 13:48
  I
• 13:48
  only
• 13:49
  did
• 13:49
  few
• 13:49
  for
• 13:50
  this
• 13:50
  year
• 13:50
  because
• 13:50
  I
• 13:50
  was
• 13:51
  busy
• 13:51
  doing
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  podcast
• 13:52
  hosting.
• 13:52
  But
• 13:52
  it
• 13:52
  went
• 13:53
  really
• 13:53
  well.
• 13:54
  I
• 13:54
  just
• 13:55
  started
• 13:55
  with
• 13:55
  the
• 13:55
  virtual
• 13:56
  visit
• 13:56
  for
• 13:56
  now
• 13:57
  because
• 13:57
  there
• 13:57
  was
• 13:58
  school
• 13:58
  just
• 13:58
  barely
• 13:58
  open
• 13:59
  this
• 13:59
  year.
• 14:00
  So
• 14:00
  it
• 14:00
  went
• 14:00
  really
• 14:01
  well.
• 14:01
  For
• 14:01
  my
• 14:01
  virtual
• 14:02
  visit.
• 14:02
  I
• 14:02
  actually
• 14:03
  did
• 14:03
  A
• 14:03
  whole
• 14:03
  presentation
• 14:04
  for
• 14:04
  the
• 14:04
  kids.
• 14:05
  And
• 14:06
  that
• 14:06
  went
• 14:06
  super
• 14:06
  well.
• 14:06
  I
• 14:07
  thought
• 14:07
  it
• 14:07
  was
• 14:07
  not
• 14:07
  going
• 14:07
  to
• 14:07
  work
• 14:08
  out
• 14:08
  because
• 14:08
  I
• 14:08
  couldn't
• 14:09
  actually
• 14:09
  interact
• 14:09
  with
• 14:09
  the
• 14:10
  kids.
• 14:10
  But
• 14:10
  the
• 14:10
  kids
• 14:11
  really
• 14:11
  loved
• 14:11
  it.
• 14:12
  They're
• 14:12
  like,
• 14:12
  oh,
• 14:12
  I
• 14:13
  see
• 14:13
  the
• 14:13
  author
• 14:14
  through
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  screen.
• 14:15
  And
• 14:15
  I
• 14:15
  actually
• 14:15
  had
• 14:15
  to
• 14:16
  talk
• 14:16
  with
• 14:16
  them.
• 14:16
  They
• 14:16
  came
• 14:16
  up
• 14:17
  with
• 14:17
  this.
• 14:17
  They
• 14:17
  came
• 14:17
  to
• 14:18
  the
• 14:18
  screen
• 14:18
  and
• 14:18
  I
• 14:19
  interacted
• 14:20
  with
• 14:20
  this
• 14:20
  with
• 14:20
  the
• 14:20
  students
• 14:21
  through
• 14:21
  my.
• 14:22
  And
• 14:22
  I
• 14:22
  send
• 14:22
  the
• 14:23
  teacher
• 14:23
  all
• 14:23
  my
• 14:23
  activities
• 14:24
  and
• 14:24
  they
• 14:24
  had
• 14:24
  it
• 14:25
  printed
• 14:25
  out
• 14:25
  already
• 14:25
  for
• 14:26
  them.
• 14:27
  And
• 14:27
  my
• 14:27
  activity
• 14:28
  is
• 14:28
  very
• 14:28
  interesting
• 14:29
  because
• 14:29
  it's
• 14:29
  very
• 14:30
  different.
• 14:30
  It's
• 14:30
  not
• 14:31
  where
• 14:31
  they
• 14:31
  do
• 14:31
  it
• 14:31
  and
• 14:32
  they
• 14:32
  finish
• 14:32
  it.
• 14:32
  It's
• 14:33
  actually
• 14:33
  an
• 14:33
  ear
• 14:34
  project
• 14:35
  where
• 14:35
  they
• 14:36
  write
• 14:36
  a
• 14:36
  letter
• 14:36
  to
• 14:36
  themselves
• 14:37
  and
• 14:38
  it's
• 14:38
  actually
• 14:38
  a
• 14:38
  goal
• 14:39
  driven
• 14:39
  project
• 14:40
  where
• 14:41
  they
• 14:41
  write
• 14:41
  a
• 14:41
  letter
• 14:42
  a
• 14:42
  year
• 14:42
  after.
• 14:43
  So
• 14:43
  they
• 14:43
  say,
• 14:43
  oh
• 14:44
  dear
• 14:44
  Chelsea,
• 14:45
  a
• 14:45
  year
• 14:45
  from
• 14:46
  now
• 14:46
  you're
• 14:47
  going
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  achieve
• 14:47
  this
• 14:48
  goal.
• 14:48
  And
• 14:49
  after
• 14:49
  a
• 14:49
  year
• 14:50
  they
• 14:50
  actually
• 14:50
  look
• 14:50
  at
• 14:51
  that
• 14:51
  goal
• 14:51
  and
• 14:51
  see
• 14:51
  if
• 14:51
  they
• 14:52
  achieved
• 14:52
  it.
• 14:53
  Oh,
• 14:53
  fantastic.
• 14:54
  Those
• 14:55
  are
• 14:55
  the
• 14:55
  type
• 14:55
  of
• 14:55
  activity
• 14:56
  I
• 14:56
  do
• 14:56

• 16:37
  we
• 16:38
  actually.
• 16:38
  It
• 16:38
  took
• 16:39
  us
• 16:39
  a
• 16:39
  little
• 16:39
  longer.
• 16:40
  We
• 16:41
  launched
• 16:41
  our
• 16:41
  book
• 16:41
  and
• 16:42
  then
• 16:42
  it
• 16:42
  was
• 16:42
  about
• 16:43
  six
• 16:43
  months
• 16:43
  before
• 16:44
  we
• 16:44
  actually
• 16:45
  launched
• 16:46
  our
• 16:46
  website.
• 16:47
  But
• 16:47
  just
• 16:48
  like
• 16:48
  you,
• 16:49
  our
• 16:49
  website
• 16:50
  is
• 16:51
  a
• 16:52
  work
• 16:52
  in
• 16:52
  progress.
• 16:53
  And
• 16:54
  so
• 16:54
  that's
• 16:54
  what
• 16:54
  I
• 16:54
  wanted
• 16:55
  to
• 16:55
  ask
• 16:55
  you
• 16:55
  about.
• 16:56
  Did
• 16:56
  you
• 16:57
  have
• 16:57
  your
• 16:57
  website
• 16:58
  completed
• 16:59
  before
• 16:59
  you
• 17:00
  launched
• 17:00
  your
• 17:00
  book?
• 17:01
  No,
• 17:01
  actually,
• 17:02
  I
• 17:02
  had
• 17:02
  to
• 17:02
  delay
• 17:03
  my
• 17:03
  website
• 17:04
  after
• 17:05
  my
• 17:05
  book
• 17:06
  came
• 17:06
  out
• 17:06
  because
• 17:07
  honestly,
• 17:08
  I
• 17:08
  didn't
• 17:08
  know
• 17:08
  where
• 17:08
  this
• 17:09
  book
• 17:09
  was
• 17:09
  heading
• 17:09
  to.
• 17:10
  I
• 17:11
  had
• 17:11
  to
• 17:11
  see
• 17:11
  where
• 17:11
  this
• 17:12
  book
• 17:12
  was
• 17:12
  going
• 17:12
  to.
• 17:13
  I
• 17:13
  had
• 17:13
  to
• 17:13
  have
• 17:13
  the
• 17:13
  feel
• 17:14
  of
• 17:14
  it.
• 17:15
  It's
• 17:15
  like
• 17:15
  when
• 17:15
  you
• 17:15
  guys
• 17:16
  have
• 17:16
  a
• 17:16
  baby,
• 17:17
  you
• 17:18
  have
• 17:18
  to
• 17:18
  know
• 17:18
  what's
• 17:18
  the
• 17:19
  development?
• 17:19
  What's
• 17:20
  this
• 17:20
  brain
• 17:20
  development
• 17:21
  is
• 17:21
  going
• 17:21
  to
• 17:21
  be
• 17:21
  like,
• 17:22
  how's
• 17:22
  this.
• 17:22
  How
• 17:23
  is
• 17:23
  this
• 17:23
  kid
• 17:24
  going
• 17:24
  to
• 17:24
  grow?
• 17:25
  What's
• 17:25
  the
• 17:25
  size
• 17:26
  of
• 17:26
  this
• 17:26
  baby
• 17:26
  going
• 17:27
  to
• 17:27
  be?
• 17:27
  It's
• 17:27
  like
• 17:27
  basic.
• 17:28
  When
• 17:28
  book
• 17:28
  has
• 17:28
  come
• 17:29
  out,
• 17:29
  what
• 17:29
  is
• 17:29
  the
• 17:30
  audience
• 17:30
  going
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  be
• 17:31
  like?
• 17:31
  What
• 17:31
  was.
• 17:31
  What
• 17:32
  is
• 17:32
  my
• 17:32
  audience
• 17:32
  want
• 17:33

  be?
• 17:33
  So
• 17:34
  what
• 17:34
  does
• 17:34
  my
• 17:34
  audience
• 17:35
  want
• 17:35
  from
• 17:35
  me?
• 17:35
  So
• 17:35
  that's
• 17:36
  why
• 17:36
  I
• 17:36
  really
• 17:37
  make
• 17:37
  my
• 17:37
  website
• 17:38
  large
• 17:39
  enough.
• 17:39
  I
• 17:39
  just
• 17:40
  made
• 17:40
  a
• 17:40
  very
• 17:40
  basic
• 17:41
  after.
• 17:42
  Right
• 17:42
  after
• 17:42
  my
• 17:43
  launch,
• 17:43
  which
• 17:43
  is

  simple,
• 17:46
  straight
• 17:47
  to
• 17:47
  the
• 17:47
  point.
• 17:48
  It's
• 17:48
  not
• 17:48
  very
• 17:49
  fancy.
• 17:49
  It's
• 17:49
  not
• 17:49

  Part

  In

  we

  pages.
• 18:33
  And
• 18:33
  at
• 18:33
  the
• 18:34
  back
• 18:34
  of
• 18:34
  our
• 18:34
  book,
• 18:34
  we
• 18:35
  encourage
• 18:36
  children
• 18:37
  to
• 18:37
  sit
• 18:37
  down
• 18:38
  with
• 18:38
  their
• 18:38
  parents
• 18:39
  or
• 18:39
  grandparents
• 18:40
  and
• 18:41
  find
• 18:41
  pictures
• 18:42
  on
• 18:42
  their
• 18:43
  iPad
• 18:43
  or
• 18:44
  iPhone
• 18:44
  or
• 18:45
  a
• 18:45
  smart
• 18:45
  tablet
• 18:45
  or
• 18:46
  whatever,
• 18:46
  find
• 18:47
  pictures
• 18:47
  that
• 18:48
  they
• 18:48
  can
• 18:48
  create
• 18:48
  a
• 18:49
  story
• 18:49
  from
• 18:50
  and
• 18:50
  then
• 18:50
  sit

  down
• 18:51
  and
• 18:51
  write
• 18:52
  that
• 18:52
  story.
• 18:52
  Because
• 18:52
  that's
• 18:53
  actually
• 18:53
  what
• 18:53
  happened
• 18:53
  with
• 18:54
  myself,
• 18:54
  my
• 18:55
  granddaughter,
• 18:55
  my
• 18:56
  oldest
• 18:56
  granddaughter.
• 18:57
  We
• 18:57
  actually,
• 18:58
  we
• 18:58
  had
• 18:58
  taken
• 18:59
  so
• 18:59
  many
• 18:59
  pictures
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  all
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  our
• 19:01
  adventures
• 19:01
  together.
• 19:02
  And
• 19:02
  she
• 19:03
  said,
• 19:03
  one
• 19:03
  day,
• 19:04
  papa,
• 19:05
  we
• 19:05
  got
• 19:05
  to
• 19:05
  turn
• 19:06
  these
• 19:06
  into
• 19:06
  a
• 19:07
  story.
• 19:07
  And
• 19:08
  that's
• 19:08
  how
• 19:08
  it
• 19:08
  all
• 19:08
  started.
• 19:09
  So
• 19:10
  we
• 19:10
  created
• 19:10
  these
• 19:11
  Activity
• 19:11
  pages,
• 19:12
  not
• 19:13
  similar
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  what
• 19:13
  you're
• 19:13
  doing,
• 19:14
  but
• 19:14
  you've
• 19:14
  got
• 19:15
  a
• 19:15
  very
• 19:15
  unique
• 19:16
  approach.
• 19:16
  But
• 19:17
  we
• 19:17
  want
• 19:18
  parents
• 19:18
  and
• 19:18
  grandparents
• 19:19
  to
• 19:19
  sit
• 19:19
  down
• 19:19
  with
• 19:19
  their
• 19:20
  children
• 19:21
  or
• 19:21
  grandchildren
• 19:22
  and
• 19:22
  write
• 19:23
  stories
• 19:23
  of
• 19:24
  their
• 19:24
  adventures.
• 19:25
  It's
• 19:25
  very
• 19:26
  neat
• 19:26
  what
• 19:26
  you've
• 19:26
  done.
• 19:27
  So
• 19:28
  when

• 20:10
  huge.
• 20:11
  It's
• 20:11
  so
• 20:12
  much
• 20:12
  fun.
• 20:12
  So
• 20:13
  for
• 20:13
  those
• 20:13
  who
• 20:14
  won't
• 20:14
  see
• 20:14
  this
• 20:15
  through
• 20:15
  video
• 20:16
  but
• 20:16
  will
• 20:16
  be
• 20:17
  listening
• 20:17
  to
• 20:17
  it
• 20:17
  through
• 20:18
  audio,
• 20:18
  Chelsea's
• 20:19
  talking
• 20:19
  about
• 20:20
  her
• 20:20
  inner
• 20:21
  page.
• 20:21
  Inner
• 20:21
  book.
• 20:22
  There's
• 20:22
  a
• 20:22
  page
• 20:23
  where
• 20:23
  there's
• 20:23
  all
• 20:24
  of
• 20:24
  her
• 20:24
  characters
• 20:25
  come
• 20:25
  together,
• 20:26
  and
• 20:26
  it's
• 20:26
  quite
• 20:26
  a
• 20:27
  unique
• 20:27
  situation
• 20:28
  with
• 20:28
  the
• 20:28
  coach
• 20:29
  and.
• 20:30
  Yeah,
• 20:30
  a
• 20:30
  lot
• 20:30
  of
• 20:30
  fun
• 20:31
  and
• 20:31
  just
• 20:31
  with
• 20:32
  the
• 20:32
  characters
• 20:32
  involved.
• 20:33
  And
• 20:34
  that
• 20:34
  leads
• 20:34
  me
• 20:35
  to
• 20:35
  what
• 20:36
  I
• 20:36
  thought
• 20:36
  was
• 20:36
  very
• 20:37
  interesting.
• 20:37
  And
• 20:37
  I
• 20:38
  think
• 20:38
  maybe
• 20:39
  not
• 20:39
  so
• 20:39
  much
• 20:40
  from
• 20:40
  a
• 20:40
  reader
• 20:41
  standpoint,
• 20:41
  but
• 20:41
  from
• 20:42
  a
• 20:42
  Maybe
• 20:42
  an
• 20:43
  author
• 20:43
  standpoint.
• 20:44
  Your
• 20:45
  merchandising
• 20:45
  page,
• 20:46
  like
• 20:47
  your
• 20:47
  tab,
• 20:47
  when
• 20:47
  I
• 20:48
  tapped
• 20:48
  on
• 20:49
  the.
• 20:49
  Clicked
• 20:49
  on
• 20:49
  the
• 20:50
  tab
• 20:50
  and
• 20:50
  it
• 20:51
  opened
• 20:51
  up,
• 20:51
  and
• 20:51
  I
• 20:52
  thought,
• 20:52
  wow,
• 20:52
  this
• 20:53
  is
• 20:53
  a
• 20:53
  lot
• 20:53
  of
• 20:53
  merchandise
• 20:55
  because
• 20:55
  you've
• 20:55
  got
• 20:55
  so
• 20:55
  many
• 20:56
  colorful
• 20:57
  characters
• 20:58
  that
• 20:59
  you've
• 20:59
  turned
• 20:59
  into
• 21:00
  some
• 21:00
  fun
• 21:01
  stuff.
• 21:01
  Like
• 21:01
  the
• 21:01
  shopping
• 21:02
  bags,
• 21:03
  I
• 21:03
  thought
• 21:03
  were
• 21:03
  really
• 21:04
  unique
• 21:04
  because
• 21:05
  they
• 21:05
  just
• 21:05
  shout
• 21:06
  at
• 21:06
  you,
• 21:07
  and
• 21:07
  your
• 21:08
  sweatshirts
• 21:08
  and
• 21:08
  T
• 21:09
  shirts
• 21:09
  and
• 21:10
  your
• 21:10
  mug.
• 21:11
  That's
• 21:11
  beautiful.
• 21:12
  So
• 21:12
  I
• 21:12
  thought,
• 21:13
  wow.
• 21:13
  So
• 21:14
  tell
• 21:14
  us
• 21:14
  a
• 21:15
  little
• 21:15
  bit
• 21:15
  about
• 21:15
  that,
• 21:16
  because
• 21:16
  I
• 21:16
  noticed
• 21:16
  it's
• 21:17
  powered
• 21:17
  by
• 21:18
  Shopify,
• 21:19
  so
• 21:19
  can
• 21:20
  you
• 21:20
  give
• 21:20
  us
• 21:20
  a
• 21:20
  little
• 21:21
  background
• 21:21
  on
• 21:22
  how
• 21:22
  did
• 21:22
  you
• 21:22
  put
• 21:23
  all
• 21:23
  of
• 21:23
  that
• 21:23
  together?
• 21:24
  So
• 21:24
  I
• 21:24
  figured
• 21:25
  out.
• 21:25
  So
• 21:26
  since
• 21:26
  you
• 21:26
  just
• 21:26
  said
• 21:27
  my
• 21:27
  characters
• 21:28
  are
• 21:28
  full
• 21:28
  of
• 21:28
  colors,
• 21:29
  I
• 21:29
  cannot
• 21:30
  just
• 21:30
  let
• 21:30
  this
• 21:30
  sit
• 21:30
  in
• 21:31
  a
• 21:31
  book.
• 21:32
  And
• 21:32
  I
• 21:32
  want
• 21:32
  to
• 21:33
  express
• 21:34
  this
• 21:34
  on
• 21:34
  a
• 21:35
  merchandise.
• 21:36
  I
• 21:36
  wanted
• 21:36
  to
• 21:36
  have
• 21:37
  this
• 21:38
  just
• 21:38
  express
• 21:38
  it
• 21:39
  through
• 21:39
  a
• 21:39
  material
• 21:40
  where
• 21:40
  kids
• 21:41
  can
• 21:41
  have
• 21:41
  it
• 21:41
  on
• 21:42
  their
• 21:42
  sweater.
• 21:42
  They
• 21:43
  feel
• 21:43
  like
• 21:43
  they
• 21:43
  can
• 21:43
  actually
• 21:44
  carry
• 21:44
  you
• 21:44
  with
• 21:44
  them,
• 21:45
  especially
• 21:46
  like
• 21:46
  this.
• 21:47
  Hopefully,
• 21:47
  I
• 21:47
  could
• 21:47
  launch
• 21:48
  my
• 21:49
  plushie.
• 21:50
  They
• 21:50
  actually
• 21:50
  put.
• 21:51
  I
• 21:51
  actually
• 21:51
  carry
• 21:51
  this
• 21:52
  with
• 21:52
  me
• 21:52
  to
• 21:52
  book
• 21:52
  events.
• 21:53
  I
• 21:53
  actually.
• 21:54
  This
• 21:54
  is
• 21:54
  because
• 21:54
  it's
• 21:54
  very
• 21:54
  limited
• 21:55
  edition.
• 21:56
  But
• 21:56
  in
• 21:56
  terms
• 21:57
  of
• 21:57
  merchandise,
• 21:58
  I
• 21:58
  had
• 21:59
  to
• 21:59
  work
• 21:59
  it
• 21:59
  through
• 22:00
  Shopify.
• 22:01
  I
• 22:01
  highly
• 22:02
  recommend
• 22:02
  Shopify
• 22:03
  to
• 22:03
  my
• 22:03
  authors
• 22:03
  because
• 22:04
  it's
• 22:04
  super
• 22:04
  easy
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  handle.
• 22:06
  I
• 22:06
  don't
• 22:06
  have
• 22:07
  to
• 22:07
  deal
• 22:07
  with
• 22:07
  like
• 22:08
  shipping
• 22:08
  or
• 22:08
  anything
• 22:09
  like
• 22:09
  that.
• 22:09
  You
• 22:10
  just
• 22:10
  need
• 22:10
  to
• 22:10
  do
• 22:11
  sampling
• 22:11
  through
• 22:11
  Shopify
• 22:12
  and
• 22:12
  you
• 22:12
  just
• 22:13
  put
• 22:13
  your
• 22:13
  pictures
• 22:13
  in
• 22:14
  there.
• 22:14
  It
• 22:14
  is
• 22:14
  super
• 22:15
  simple
• 22:15
  for
• 22:15
  authors
• 22:16
  or
• 22:16
  any
• 22:16
  business
• 22:16
  owners
• 22:17
  out
• 22:17
  there.
• 22:18
  Pick
• 22:18
  your
• 22:18
  samples
• 22:19
  and
• 22:19
  everything.
• 22:19
  But
• 22:19
  it
• 22:19
  was
• 22:19
  perfect
• 22:20
  for
• 22:20
  me
• 22:20
  because
• 22:21
  all
• 22:21
  I
• 22:21
  needed
• 22:21
  was
• 22:22
  a
• 22:22
  simple,
• 22:23
  like
• 22:23
  merch.
• 22:24
  Just
• 22:24
  like
• 22:24
  a
• 22:24
  cup,
• 22:25
  right,
• 22:25
  like
• 22:26
  this.
• 22:26
  So
• 22:26
  you
• 22:27
  didn't
• 22:27
  have
• 22:27
  to
• 22:28
  spend.
• 22:29
  Invested
• 22:30
  a
• 22:30
  lot
• 22:30
  of
• 22:30
  money
• 22:31
  to
• 22:31
  set
• 22:31
  it
• 22:32
  up.
• 22:32
  Is
• 22:32
  that
• 22:32
  correct?
• 22:33
  Yes,
• 22:33
  I
• 22:33
  was.
• 22:34
  Yeah,
• 22:34
  exactly.
• 22:34
  I
• 22:34
  was
• 22:34
  about
• 22:34
  to
• 22:35
  say
• 22:35
  that,
• 22:35
  like,
• 22:35
  literally
• 22:36
  I
• 22:36
  don't
• 22:36
  have
• 22:36
  to
• 22:36
  spend
• 22:36
  any
• 22:37
  money
• 22:37
  on
• 22:38
  like,
• 22:38
  how
• 22:38
  you
• 22:39
  say,
• 22:39
  inventories
• 22:40
  or
• 22:40
  sampling
• 22:41
  like
• 22:41
  that,
• 22:41
  because
• 22:41
  that's
• 22:41
  what
• 22:42
  I
• 22:42
  did
• 22:42
  first.
• 22:42
  I
• 22:42
  want
• 22:42
  to
• 22:43
  sample
• 22:43
  my
• 22:43
  own
• 22:44
  things
• 22:44
  just
• 22:44
  to
• 22:44
  see
• 22:44
  if
• 22:45
  actually
• 22:45
  customers
• 22:46
  will
• 22:46
  like
• 22:46
  it.
• 22:46
  Just
• 22:47
  like
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  mug
• 22:47
  of
• 22:48
  like.
• 22:48
  I
• 22:48
  was
• 22:48
  like,
• 22:48
  oh,
• 22:48
  this
• 22:48
  is
• 22:49
  actually
• 22:49
  really
• 22:49
  good
• 22:50
  quality
• 22:50
  stuff.
• 22:51
  Yes.
• 22:51
  And
• 22:51
  I
• 22:52
  actually
• 22:52
  like
• 22:52
  to
• 22:52
  launch
• 22:52
  it.
• 22:53
  If
• 22:53
  I
• 22:53
  didn't
• 22:53
  really
• 22:53
  like
• 22:53
  it,
• 22:53
  I
• 22:54
  don't.
• 22:54
  I
• 22:54
  just
• 22:54
  delete
• 22:54
  it.
• 22:54
  And
• 22:55
  that's
• 22:55
  all
• 22:55
  I
• 22:55
  need
• 22:55
  to
• 22:55
  do.
• 22:56
  That
• 22:56
  was
• 22:56
  very
• 22:56
  simple
• 22:57
  and
• 22:57
  I
• 22:57
  really
• 22:58
  highly
• 22:58
  recommend
• 22:59
  Shopify.
• 22:59
  I'm
• 22:59
  not
• 23:00
  sponsored
• 23:00
  at
• 23:00
  all.
• 23:01
  I
• 23:01
  just
• 23:02
  highly
• 23:02
  recommend
• 23:02
  it.
• 23:03
  I
• 23:03
  had
• 23:03
  to
• 23:03
  test
• 23:03
  it
• 23:03
  myself
• 23:04
  because
• 23:04
  I
• 23:04
  didn't
• 23:05
  see
• 23:05
  any
• 23:05
  authors
• 23:06
  doing
• 23:06
  this,
• 23:06
  which
• 23:06
  was
• 23:06
  very
• 23:07
  surprisingly.
• 23:08
  No
• 23:08
  one
• 23:08
  was
• 23:08
  doing
• 23:09
  it.
• 23:09
  I'm
• 23:09
  glad
• 23:10
  I
• 23:10
  was
• 23:10
  a
• 23:10
  good
• 23:10
  role
• 23:11
  model
• 23:11
  for
• 23:11
  authors
• 23:11
  so
• 23:12
  that
• 23:12
  they
• 23:12
  could
• 23:12
  start
• 23:12
  doing
• 23:13
  themselves.
• 23:13
  I
• 23:14
  think
• 23:14
  there
• 23:14
  are
• 23:14
  some
• 23:14
  authors
• 23:15
  who
• 23:15
  did
• 23:15
  different
• 23:16
  companies,
• 23:16
  which
• 23:17
  is
• 23:17
  really
• 23:17
  good.
• 23:18
  As
• 23:18
  long
• 23:18
  as
• 23:18
  you
• 23:18
  guys
• 23:19
  have
• 23:19
  a
• 23:19
  good
• 23:20
  company
• 23:20
  that
• 23:20
  I
• 23:20
  could
• 23:20
  work
• 23:20
  with.
• 23:22
  You
• 23:22
  know
• 23:23
  what?
• 23:23
  I
• 23:24
  thought
• 23:24
  about
• 23:24
  it
• 23:25
  and
• 23:25
  I
• 23:25
  thought
• 23:25
  about
• 23:25
  all
• 23:26
  the
• 23:26
  characters.
• 23:27
  And
• 23:27
  of
• 23:27
  course,
• 23:28
  again,
• 23:29
  you're
• 23:29
  thinking
• 23:30
  trying
• 23:30
  to
• 23:30
  find
• 23:31
  additional
• 23:32
  ways
• 23:32
  to
• 23:32
  create
• 23:33
  revenue
• 23:34
  because
• 23:35
  even
• 23:35
  if
• 23:36
  you
• 23:36
  self
• 23:36
  publish
• 23:37
  or
• 23:37
  you
• 23:37
  hybrid
• 23:38
  publish,
• 23:38
  it's
• 23:38
  still
• 23:39
  a
• 23:39
  large
• 23:40
  investment
• 23:40
  upfront
• 23:41
  that
• 23:41
  you're
• 23:42
  doing.
• 23:42
  And
• 23:43
  then
• 23:43
  you
• 23:43
  have
• 23:43
  to
• 23:43
  find.
• 23:44
  Okay,
• 23:45
  you'd
• 23:45
  have
• 23:46
  to
• 23:46
  sell
• 23:46
  thousands
• 23:46
  of
• 23:47
  books
• 23:47
  to
• 23:48
  even
• 23:48
  pay
• 23:48
  for
• 23:49
  the
• 23:49
  next
• 23:49
  book.
• 23:50
  So
• 23:50
  if
• 23:50
  you
• 23:51
  could
• 23:51
  actually
• 23:51
  find
• 23:52
  ways
• 23:52
  of
• 23:53
  creating
• 23:53
  more
• 23:53
  merchandise
• 23:54
  like
• 23:55
  you
• 23:55
  said,
• 23:55
  if
• 23:55
  you
• 23:55
  look,
• 23:56
  I
• 23:56
  have
• 23:56
  caboose
• 23:57
  right
• 23:57
  here.
• 23:58
  Oh,
• 23:58
  yes.
• 23:59
  And
• 23:59
  we
• 23:59
  actually
• 24:00
  believe
• 24:00
  that
• 24:00
  or
• 24:01
  not
• 24:02
  this
• 24:02
  is
• 24:02
  about
• 24:03
  10
• 24:03
  years
• 24:03
  ago.
• 24:04
  My
• 24:04
  wife
• 24:04
  and
• 24:04
  I
• 24:04
  were
• 24:04
  in
• 24:05
  San
• 24:05
  Francisco
• 24:06
  and
• 24:07
  we
• 24:07
  went
• 24:08
  and
• 24:08
  found.
• 24:08
  And
• 24:08
  my.
• 24:09
  At
• 24:09
  that
• 24:09
  time,
• 24:09
  my
• 24:10
  granddaughter
• 24:10
  and
• 24:10
  I
• 24:11
  were
• 24:11
  developing
• 24:12
  this
• 24:12
  idea,
• 24:13
  but
• 24:13
  we
• 24:13
  just
• 24:14
  had
• 24:14
  it
• 24:14
  in
• 24:15
  our
• 24:15
  minds.
• 24:15
  We
• 24:16
  didn't
• 24:16
  have
• 24:16
  a.
• 24:17
  Like,
• 24:17
  we
• 24:17
  knew
• 24:18
  it
• 24:18
  was
• 24:18
  going
• 24:18
  to
• 24:18
  be
• 24:18
  a
• 24:18
  bear,
• 24:19
  but
• 24:19
  we
• 24:19
  didn't
• 24:19
  know
• 24:19
  exactly
• 24:20
  how
• 24:20
  we
• 24:20
  were
• 24:21
  going
• 24:21
  to
• 24:21
  do
• 24:21
  it.
• 24:21
  And
• 24:22
  to
• 24:22
  be
• 24:23
  in
• 24:23
  that
• 24:23
  shop,
• 24:23
  one
• 24:24
  of
• 24:24
  those
• 24:24
  stuff
• 24:25
  where
• 24:25
  they
• 24:25
  make
• 24:25
  stuffed
• 24:26
  animals
• 24:27
  and
• 24:27
  they
• 24:27
  created
• 24:28
  this
• 24:28
  for
• 24:28
  us.
• 24:29
  And
• 24:29
  then
• 24:30
  like
• 24:30
  you
• 24:30
  said,
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  thing
• 24:31
  is,
• 24:31
  then
• 24:32
  how
• 24:32
  do
• 24:32
  you
• 24:32
  parlay
• 24:33
  that,
• 24:34
  turn
• 24:34
  that
• 24:34
  into
• 24:35
  merchandise?
• 24:36
  It's
• 24:36
  not
• 24:37
  always
• 24:37
  that
• 24:37
  easy,
• 24:38
  right?
• 24:38
  Exactly.
• 24:39
  Yes.
• 24:39
  And
• 24:39
  when
• 24:40
  I
• 24:40
  had
• 24:40
  to
• 24:40
  carry,
• 24:40
  when
• 24:41
  I
• 24:41
  had
• 24:41
  to
• 24:41
  make
• 24:41
  this
• 24:42
  one,
• 24:42
  this
• 24:43
  one,
• 24:43
  it
• 24:43
  was
• 24:43
  not
• 24:43
  from
• 24:44
  Shopify.
• 24:44
  I
• 24:44
  actually
• 24:45
  had
• 24:45
  to
• 24:45
  Google
• 24:45
  it.
• 24:46
  Yes.
• 24:47
  Trust
• 24:47
  and
• 24:47
  Plushie
• 24:48
  and
• 24:48
  just
• 24:48
  popped
• 24:48
  out
• 24:48
  of
• 24:49
  nowhere.
• 24:49
  And
• 24:49
  I
• 24:49
  was
• 24:49
  like,
• 24:49
  okay,
• 24:50
  I'm
• 24:50
  going
• 24:50
  to
• 24:50
  go
• 24:50
  with
• 24:50
  this
• 24:51
  one.
• 24:51
  And
• 24:51
  we
• 24:51
  just
• 24:52
  emailed
• 24:52
  back
• 24:52
  and
• 24:52
  forth,
• 24:53
  they
• 24:53
  sent
• 24:54
  me
• 24:54
  samples,
• 24:55
  and
• 24:55
  bada
• 24:56
  bing,
• 24:56
  bada
• 24:56
  boom,
• 24:56
  it
• 24:56
  just
• 24:57
  popped
• 24:57
  up.
• 24:57
  And
• 24:57
  everybody
• 24:58
  loved
• 24:58
  this
• 24:58
  sample.
• 24:59
  And
• 25:00
  all
• 25:00
  the
• 25:00
  authors
• 25:01
  are
• 25:01
  asking
• 25:01
  me,
• 25:01
  like,
• 25:01
  where
• 25:01
  did
• 25:02
  you
• 25:02
  get
• 25:02
  it?
• 25:02
  And
• 25:02
  I
• 25:02
  send
• 25:02
  them
• 25:03
  the
• 25:03
  whole
• 25:04
  link
• 25:04
  and
• 25:04
  everybody's
• 25:05
  starting
• 25:05
  to
• 25:05
  get
• 25:05
  the
• 25:06
  same
• 25:06
  website.
• 25:06
  And
• 25:07
  I'm
• 25:07
  like,
• 25:07
  so
• 25:08
  have
• 25:08
  you
• 25:08
  made
• 25:09
  a
• 25:09
  lot
• 25:09
  of
• 25:09
  those
• 25:10
  yet
• 25:10
  or
• 25:10
  did
• 25:10
  you
• 25:11
  just
• 25:11
  do
• 25:11
  the
• 25:11
  one
• 25:11
  sample?
• 25:12
  Oh,
• 25:13
  and
• 25:13
  I
• 25:13
  had
• 25:13
  to
• 25:13
  make
• 25:13
  a
• 25:13
  lot
• 25:14
  of
• 25:14
  these
• 25:14
  because,
• 25:14
  you
• 25:14
  know,
• 25:15
  some
• 25:15
  certain
• 25:16
  companies,
• 25:16
  they
• 25:16
  have
• 25:17
  a
• 25:17
  contract
• 25:17
  where
• 25:18
  you
• 25:18
  have
• 25:18
  to
• 25:19
  make
• 25:19
  a
• 25:19
  hundred
• 25:19
  of
• 25:20
  the
• 25:20
  samples
• 25:21
  with
• 25:21
  the
• 25:21
  contract.
• 25:21
  And
• 25:22
  then.
• 25:22
  But
• 25:22
  they
• 25:22
  can
• 25:22
  have
• 25:23
  a
• 25:23
  certain
• 25:23
  discount
• 25:24
  where
• 25:24
  if
• 25:24
  you
• 25:25
  do
• 25:25
  boat
• 25:25
  shipping,
• 25:26
  it's
• 25:26
  much
• 25:27
  cheaper
• 25:27
  than,
• 25:27
  I
• 25:28
  guess,
• 25:28
  the
• 25:28
  plane
• 25:29
  shipping.
• 25:29
  I
• 25:29
  guess
• 25:30
  what
• 25:30
  you.
• 25:30
  Plane
• 25:30
  shipping.
• 25:31
  Much
• 25:31
  more
• 25:31
  expensive
• 25:32
  than
• 25:32
  the
• 25:32
  boat
• 25:32
  shipping.
• 25:33
  Just
• 25:33
  letting
• 25:33
  you
• 25:33
  guys
• 25:33
  know
• 25:34
  for
• 25:34
  sure.
• 25:35
  Yeah.
• 25:35
  And
• 25:35
  what's
• 25:35
  interesting,
• 25:36
  because
• 25:36
  I.
• 25:37
  We
• 25:37

• 25:37
  taking
• 25:37
  caboose
• 25:38
  with
• 25:38
  us
• 25:38
  to
• 25:39
  readings,
• 25:39
  but
• 25:40
  we
• 25:40
  were
• 25:40
  thinking,
• 25:41
  actually
• 25:41
  I
• 25:41
  went
• 25:41

• 25:42
  bought

  I've
• 25:44
  only
• 25:44
  got

  that
• 25:47
  kids
• 25:47
  want

  adds
• 25:52
  to
• 25:52
  it.
• 25:52
  And

  Mandy

  the

  since

  just
• 27:20
  be
• 27:20
  partners?
• 27:21
  So
• 27:22
  if
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  guys
• 27:22
  see
• 27:22
  my
• 27:22
  merchandise,
• 27:23
  like
• 27:23
  the
• 27:24
  mug
• 27:25
  or
• 27:25
  anything
• 27:25
  like
• 27:26
  that,
• 27:26
  and
• 27:26
  of
• 27:26
  course
• 27:27
  I
• 27:27
  have
• 27:27
  to
• 27:27
  put
• 27:27
  the
• 27:28
  family
• 27:28
  together
• 27:28
  because
• 27:29
  I
• 27:29
  think
• 27:29
  family,
• 27:30
  the
• 27:30
  symbolism
• 27:31
  of
• 27:31
  family,
• 27:32
  friendship,
• 27:33
  the
• 27:34
  symbolism
• 27:34
  of
• 27:35
  Carol
• 27:35
  the
• 27:35
  carrot,
• 27:36
  like
• 27:36
  the
• 27:37
  symbolism
• 27:37
  of
• 27:38
  leadership.
• 27:39
  I
• 27:39
  can
• 27:39
  do
• 27:40
  it
• 27:40
  self
• 27:40
  doubt,
• 27:41
  all
• 27:41
  those
• 27:41
  things.
• 27:41
  I
• 27:42
  had
• 27:42
  to
• 27:42
  put
• 27:42
  it
• 27:42
  in
• 27:42
  my
• 27:43
  merch
• 27:43
  because
• 27:43
  I
• 27:44
  just
• 27:44
  want
• 27:44
  to
• 27:44
  symbolize
• 27:44
  that
• 27:45
  merch
• 27:45
  into
• 27:45
  my
• 27:46
  sweater,
• 27:46
  into
• 27:47
  my
• 27:47
  merch
• 27:47
  of
• 27:48
  mug
• 27:48
  or
• 27:49
  sweater.
• 27:49
  Or
• 27:50
  what
• 27:50
  if.
• 27:50
  What
• 27:50
  did
• 27:50
  I
• 27:50
  put?
• 27:51
  Oh,
• 27:51
  tote
• 27:51
  bag.
• 27:52
  Everything
• 27:53
  that
• 27:53
  symbolizes
• 27:53
  I
• 27:54
  had
• 27:54
  to
• 27:54
  put
• 27:54
  in
• 27:54
  my
• 27:54
  merch.
• 27:55
  But
• 27:55
  everything
• 27:55
  else,
• 27:55
  I
• 27:55
  feel
• 27:56
  like
• 27:56
  maybe
• 27:56
  one
• 27:57
  day,
• 27:57
  if
• 27:57
  I
• 27:57
  have
• 27:57
  enough
• 27:58
  money
• 27:58
  to
• 27:58
  put
• 27:58
  all
• 27:59
  my
• 27:59
  characters.
• 28:00
  Yes,
• 28:00
  I
• 28:00
  would
• 28:00
  love
• 28:01
  to.
• 28:01
  Okay,
• 28:02
  so
• 28:02
  tell
• 28:02
  me,
• 28:03
  when
• 28:03
  you.
• 28:03
  So
• 28:04
  what
• 28:04
  was
• 28:04
  your
• 28:04
  total
• 28:05
  upfront
• 28:05
  cost
• 28:06
  to
• 28:07
  start
• 28:07
  your
• 28:08
  Shopify
• 28:09
  page?
• 28:09
  Oh,
• 28:10
  I
• 28:10
  think
• 28:11
  the
• 28:11
  total
• 28:12
  front
• 28:12
  was.
• 28:13
  I
• 28:13
  believe
• 28:14
  it
• 28:14
  was,
• 28:15
  I
• 28:15
  think
• 28:15
  was
• 28:16
  $50
• 28:17
  for
• 28:17
  some
• 28:17
  front.
• 28:18
  So
• 28:18
  not
• 28:18
  very
• 28:18
  expensive
• 28:19
  to
• 28:19
  help
• 28:19
  you,
• 28:20
  again,
• 28:21
  have
• 28:21
  another
• 28:22
  way
• 28:22
  of
• 28:22
  creating
• 28:23
  revenue?
• 28:24
  No,
• 28:24
  not
• 28:24
  now.
• 28:25
  It
• 28:25
  was
• 28:25
  surprising.
• 28:26
  Not
• 28:26
  that
• 28:26
  expensive.
• 28:27
  Expensive.
• 28:27
  Okay.
• 28:28
  When
• 28:29
  you
• 28:29
  keep
• 28:29
  up
• 28:29
  with
• 28:29
  the
• 28:30
  maintenance,
• 28:30
  that's
• 28:31
  when
• 28:31
  you're
• 28:31
  like,
• 28:31
  oh,
• 28:32
  okay.
• 28:32
  It
• 28:32
  doesn't
• 28:33
  really.
• 28:33
  So
• 28:34
  it
• 28:35
  means,
• 28:35
  like,
• 28:35
  when
• 28:35
  you
• 28:36
  have
• 28:36
  to
• 28:37
  have
• 28:37
  a
• 28:37
  lot
• 28:37
  of
• 28:37
  customers
• 28:38
  and
• 28:39
  buy
• 28:39
  your
• 28:39
  merchandise
• 28:40
  and
• 28:41
  get
• 28:41
  the
• 28:41
  money
• 28:41
  back,
• 28:42
  then
• 28:42
  you
• 28:42
  see,
• 28:42
  okay,
• 28:43
  this
• 28:43
  is
• 28:43
  actually
• 28:43
  worth
• 28:44
  the
• 28:44
  money.
• 28:44
  But
• 28:45
  if
• 28:45
  there's
• 28:45
  nothing
• 28:45
  coming
• 28:46
  back,
• 28:46
  then
• 28:46
  you're
• 28:46
  like,
• 28:46
  oh,
• 28:47
  that
• 28:47
  $50
• 28:48
  was
• 28:48
  a
• 28:48
  lot,
• 28:49
  if
• 28:49
  that
• 28:49
  makes
• 28:49
  sense.
• 28:50
  I
• 28:50
  just
• 28:50
  want
• 28:50
  to.
• 28:50
  I
• 28:50
  want
• 28:51
  everybody
• 28:51
  to
• 28:51
  know
• 28:51
  this
• 28:51
  is
• 28:52
  like
• 28:52
  real
• 28:52
  business
• 28:53
  thing
• 28:53
  where
• 28:53
  you
• 28:54
  like,
• 28:54
  oh,
• 28:54
  this
• 28:54
  is
• 28:55
  $50.
• 28:55
  But
• 28:55
  if
• 28:56
  it
• 28:56
  doesn't
• 28:56
  come
• 28:56
  out
• 28:57
  anything,
• 28:57
  then
• 28:57
  you're
• 28:57
  like,
• 28:57
  oh,
• 28:58
  did
• 28:58
  I
• 28:58
  just
• 28:58
  waste
• 28:58
  my
• 28:59
  money?
• 28:59
  But
• 29:00
  at
• 29:00
  least
• 29:00
  it's
• 29:00
  another
• 29:01
  way
• 29:01
  to
• 29:01
  create
• 29:02
  the
• 29:02
  potential
• 29:03
  for
• 29:03
  revenue,
• 29:04
  right?
• 29:04
  Yes,
• 29:05
  exactly.
• 29:06
  With
• 29:06
  your
• 29:06
  book,
• 29:07
  I'm
• 29:07
  curious
• 29:07
  too.
• 29:08
  Was
• 29:09
  there
• 29:09
  a
• 29:09
  specific
• 29:10
  person
• 29:11
  or
• 29:12
  was
• 29:12
  there
• 29:12
  a
• 29:13
  specific
• 29:13
  event
• 29:14
  in
• 29:14
  your
• 29:14
  life
• 29:15
  that
• 29:16
  motivated
• 29:16
  you
• 29:17
  to
• 29:17
  write
• 29:17
  your
• 29:17
  book?
• 29:18
  Yes,
• 29:19
  it
• 29:19
  was
• 29:19
  my
• 29:20
  students
• 29:20
  and
• 29:20
  myself.
• 29:21
  As
• 29:21
  a
• 29:21
  kid,
• 29:22
  my
• 29:22
  students
• 29:23
  really
• 29:23
  motivated
• 29:24
  me
• 29:24
  to
• 29:24
  write
• 29:24
  this
• 29:25
  book.
• 29:25
  Especially
• 29:27
  two
• 29:27
  years
• 29:27
  ago
• 29:28
  when
• 29:28
  I
• 29:28
  retired
• 29:29
  teaching,
• 29:30
  I
• 29:30
  taught
• 29:31
  a
• 29:31
  student
• 29:31
  leadership
• 29:32
  program.
• 29:32
  While
• 29:32
  I
• 29:33
  was
• 29:33
  teaching
• 29:33
  middle
• 29:33
  school
• 29:34
  mathematics,
• 29:35
  I
• 29:35
  actually
• 29:35
  was
• 29:35
  coordinating
• 29:36
  an
• 29:36
  ASB
• 29:37
  program.
• 29:38
  Okay.
• 29:39
  In
• 29:39
  my
• 29:39
  student
• 29:40
  leadership
• 29:40
  program,
• 29:41
  I
• 29:41
  had
• 29:41
  a
• 29:42
  different
• 29:42
  amount
• 29:42
  of
• 29:42
  students.
• 29:43
  I
• 29:43
  had
• 29:44
  a
• 29:44
  student
• 29:44
  leadership
• 29:45
  president,
• 29:45
  I
• 29:46
  had
• 29:46
  a
• 29:46
  vice
• 29:47
  president.
• 29:47
  I
• 29:47
  had
• 29:48
  a
• 29:48
  lot
• 29:48
  of
• 29:49
  position
• 29:50
  student
• 29:50
  leadership
• 29:51
  students
• 29:52
  and
• 29:52
  each
• 29:53
  of
• 29:53
  them,
• 29:53
  they
• 29:53
  were
• 29:53
  so
• 29:54
  unique.
• 29:54
  One
• 29:54
  of
• 29:55
  them
• 29:55
  were
• 29:55
  hiding
• 29:56
  behind
• 29:56
  the
• 29:56
  corner
• 29:57
  saying
• 29:57
  they're
• 29:57
  doing
• 29:58
  their
• 29:58
  own
• 29:58
  thing.
• 29:59
  How
• 29:59
  do
• 29:59
  I
• 29:59
  purchase
• 30:00
  a
• 30:00
  curtain
• 30:00
  for
• 30:00
  our
• 30:00
  school
• 30:01
  school
• 30:01
  dance?
• 30:02
  One
• 30:02
  of
• 30:02
  them
• 30:03
  were
• 30:03
  like,
• 30:03
  hey,
• 30:04
  you
• 30:04
  do
• 30:04
  this,
• 30:04
  you
• 30:04
  do
• 30:05
  that.
• 30:05
  We
• 30:05
  have
• 30:05
  to
• 30:05
  get
• 30:05
  this
• 30:06
  done.
• 30:06
  And
• 30:06
  then
• 30:06
  one
• 30:06
  of
• 30:07
  them,
• 30:07
  like,
• 30:07
  shy,
• 30:07
  but
• 30:08
  they're
• 30:08
  like
• 30:08
  counting
• 30:08
  money
• 30:09
  for
• 30:09
  our
• 30:09
  school
• 30:09
  dance.
• 30:10
  Each
• 30:10
  of
• 30:10
  them
• 30:10
  had
• 30:11
  their
• 30:11
  own
• 30:11
  unique
• 30:12
  ways
• 30:12
  to
• 30:13
  get
• 30:13
  this
• 30:13
  project
• 30:13
  done.
• 30:14
  Did
• 30:14
  that
• 30:15
  help
• 30:15
  you
• 30:15
  in
• 30:15
  your
• 30:16
  character
• 30:16
  development
• 30:17
  in
• 30:17
  your
• 30:18
  book?
• 30:18
  Yes.
• 30:18
  This
• 30:18
  is
• 30:18
  how
• 30:18
  the
• 30:19
  author
• 30:19
  brain
• 30:19
  works.
• 30:19
  It's
• 30:20
  it
• 30:20
  this.
• 30:20
  I'm
• 30:20
  like,
• 30:21
  how
• 30:21
  can
• 30:21
  I
• 30:21
  make
• 30:21
  this
• 30:21
  into
• 30:22
  a
• 30:22
  character?
• 30:22
  I
• 30:22
  want.
• 30:23
  I
• 30:23
  really
• 30:23
  wanted
• 30:23
  to
• 30:23
  incorporate
• 30:24
  all
• 30:24
  my
• 30:24
  students
• 30:25
  into
• 30:25
  my
• 30:26
  book.
• 30:26
  And
• 30:27
  then
• 30:27
  as
• 30:27
  I
• 30:27
  was
• 30:28
  making
• 30:28
  my
• 30:28
  book,
• 30:29
  I
• 30:29
  gotta
• 30:29
  put
• 30:29
  this
• 30:30
  into
• 30:30
  my
• 30:30
  book.
• 30:30
  And
• 30:30
  they're
• 30:31
  all
• 30:31
  colorful.
• 30:32
  And
• 30:32
  I'm
• 30:32
  like,
• 30:33
  wait,
• 30:33

  wanted

  Chelsea
• 31:41
  and

  Chong,
• 31:41
  because

  I
• 31:42
  want
• 31:42
  to
• 31:42
  represent
• 31:43
  myself,
• 31:43
  because
• 31:43
  they're
• 31:43
  both
• 31:44
  me.
• 31:45
  This
• 31:45
  is
• 31:45
  where
• 31:45
  the
• 31:45
  character
• 31:46
  comes
• 31:46
  in.
• 31:47
  So

  is
• 31:48
  myself
• 31:49
  as

  she's

  more
• 31:53
  like,
• 31:53
  I
• 31:53
  can
• 31:54
  do
• 31:54
  it.
• 31:54
  Let's
• 31:54
  just
• 31:54
  do
• 31:55
  it.
• 31:55
  Who

• 31:56
  what
• 31:56
  happens
• 31:57
  in
• 31:57
  life,
• 31:57
  right?
• 31:57
  And
• 31:58
  then
• 31:58
  the
• 31:58
  Mandarin
• 31:59
  is
• 31:59
  the
• 31:59
  little

  right
• 32:00
  here.
• 32:01
  Her
• 32:01
  character
• 32:02
  is
• 32:02
  more
• 32:02
  like
• 32:03
  self
• 32:03
  doubt.
• 32:04
  If

• 32:05
  you

  what?
• 32:08
  I
• 32:08
  don't
• 32:08
  think
• 32:08
  I
• 32:09
  can
• 32:09
  do
• 32:09
  this.
• 32:09
  This
• 32:10
  is
• 32:10
  too
• 32:10
  scary.
• 32:11
  I
• 32:11
  don't
• 32:11
  think
• 32:12
  Tomato
• 32:12
  thinks
• 32:12
  I
• 32:13
  can
• 32:13
  do
• 32:13
  this.
• 32:13
  Like,
• 32:14
  I'm
• 32:14
  getting
• 32:14
  bullied.
• 32:15
  Like
• 32:15
  my
• 32:15

• 32:17
  really
• 32:17
  like,
• 32:18
  they
• 32:18
  think
• 32:18
  I
• 32:18
  can
• 32:18
  do
• 32:18
  it.
• 32:19
  But
• 32:19
  this
• 32:19
  school
• 32:19
  Didn't.
• 32:20
  Didn't
• 32:20
  like
• 32:20
  me.
• 32:21
  They
• 32:21
  don't
• 32:21
  like
• 32:21
  me.
• 32:22
  Interesting.
• 32:22
  Both
• 32:22
  of
• 32:23
  them
• 32:23
  are

  me,
• 34:06
  surprisingly

  They're

  I
• 34:16

  You

  healed
• 34:32
  the
• 34:33
  inner
• 34:33
  part

  The

  word
• 34:41
  it's

  word.
• 34:44
  Yes.

  There's

  She

  And

• 35:37
  As

  she
• 35:37
  walked
• 35:38
  down
• 35:38
  the
• 35:38
  hallway,
• 35:39
  she
• 35:39
  heard
• 35:39
  someone
• 35:39
  sobbing
• 35:40
  in
• 35:40
  the
• 35:40
  bathroom.
• 35:41
  She
• 35:41
  opened
• 35:41
  the

  door.
• 35:42
  Orange,
• 35:43

  okay?
• 35:44
  Orange
• 35:45
  shook
• 35:45
  her
• 35:45
  head.
• 35:46
  I
• 35:46
  had
• 35:46
  lots
• 35:47
  of
• 35:47
  friends
• 35:47
  at

  my

  old
• 35:48
  school,
• 35:48
  but
• 35:49
  not

  Why

  does
• 35:50
  everyone
• 35:51
  make
• 35:51
  fun
• 35:51
  of

  me?
• 35:52
  Carol
• 35:52
  didn't
• 35:53
  know
• 35:53
  what
• 35:53
  to
• 35:53
  say.
• 35:54
  And
• 35:54
  I'm
• 35:55
  not
• 35:55
  an
• 35:55
  Orange,
• 35:55
  I'm
• 35:56
  a
• 35:56
  Mandarin.
• 35:57
  But
• 35:57
  no
• 35:57
  one
• 35:58
  cares.
• 35:58
  I
• 35:59
  care,
• 35:59
  said
• 35:59
  Carol.
• 36:00
  Do

  have
• 36:01
  a
• 36:01
  another
• 36:02
  name?
• 36:02
  Mandy
• 36:03
  the
• 36:03
  Mandarin.
• 36:04
  Don't
• 36:04
  laugh.
• 36:05
  I
• 36:05
  won't
• 36:05
  laugh.
• 36:06
  I'm
• 36:06
  Carol
• 36:06
  the
• 36:07
  Carrot
• 36:08
  together.
• 36:09
  And

  that
• 36:09
  made
• 36:09
  it
• 36:10
  okay.
• 36:11
  Wow,
• 36:12
  that's
• 36:12
  fantastic.
• 36:13
  This
• 36:14
  section
• 36:14
  just
• 36:14
  made
• 36:15
  her
• 36:15
  healing.
• 36:16
  And
• 36:16
  it
• 36:16
  was
• 36:16
  just
• 36:17
  simple,
• 36:17
  it
• 36:17
  was
• 36:17
  just
• 36:18
  humorous.
• 36:18
  But
• 36:18
  at
• 36:18
  the
• 36:19
  same
• 36:19
  time,
• 36:19
  it
• 36:19
  did
• 36:20
  make
• 36:20
  her
• 36:20
  heal
• 36:21
  in
• 36:21
  its.
• 36:22
  And
• 36:22
  I.
• 36:23
  It
• 36:23
  was
• 36:23
  just
• 36:23
  a
• 36:24
  countless
• 36:24
  moment
• 36:24
  where
• 36:25
  that
• 36:25
  was
• 36:25
  a
• 36:25
  lady.
• 36:26
  I.
• 36:26
  She
• 36:26
  was
• 36:27
  coming
• 36:27
  from
• 36:27
  a
• 36:27
  different
• 36:28
  background.
• 36:28
  Her
• 36:28
  of.
• 36:29
  She
• 36:29
  was
• 36:29
  a
• 36:30
  grown
• 36:30
  woman.
• 36:31
  Very
• 36:31
  interesting
• 36:32
  story.
• 36:32
  And
• 36:32
  there
• 36:32
  was
• 36:33
  another.
• 36:33
  A
• 36:33
  father
• 36:34
  who
• 36:34
  came
• 36:34
  to
• 36:34
  me
• 36:34
  saying,
• 36:35
  thank
• 36:35
  you
• 36:35
  so
• 36:35
  much.
• 36:35
  He
• 36:36
  was
• 36:36
  actually
• 36:36
  hesitating.
• 36:36
  Thank
• 36:37
  you
• 36:37
  so
• 36:37
  much.
• 36:37
  I
• 36:37
  was
• 36:37
  trying
• 36:37
  to
• 36:37
  find
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  everywhere
• 36:38
  in
• 36:38
  this
• 36:38
  book
• 36:39
  event.
• 36:39
  And
• 36:39
  I
• 36:39
  was
• 36:39
  like,
• 36:40
  oh,
• 36:40
  my
• 36:40
  God,
• 36:40
  thank
• 36:40
  you
• 36:40
  so
• 36:40
  much.
• 36:41
  And
• 36:41
  who
• 36:41
  are
• 36:41
  you?
• 36:41
  What's
• 36:42
  your
• 36:42
  name?
• 36:42
  I
• 36:42
  said
• 36:42
  the
• 36:42
  same
• 36:42
  thing.
• 36:43
  Oh,
• 36:43
  my
• 36:43
  God.
• 36:43
  Thank
• 36:43
  you
• 36:43
  so
• 36:44
  much.
• 36:44
  But
• 36:44
  who
• 36:44
  are
• 36:44
  you?
• 36:44
  What's
• 36:44
  your
• 36:45
  name?
• 36:45
  I
• 36:45
  just
• 36:46
  want
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  tell
• 36:46
  you,
• 36:46
  I
• 36:47
  never
• 36:47
  had
• 36:47
  a
• 36:47
  conversation
• 36:48
  with
• 36:48
  my
• 36:48
  son
• 36:49
  at
• 36:49
  the
• 36:49
  dinner
• 36:50
  table.
• 36:51
  And
• 36:51
  you
• 36:51
  created
• 36:52
  space
• 36:52
  to
• 36:52
  create
• 36:53
  a
• 36:53
  conversation,
• 36:54
  an
• 36:54
  actual
• 36:55
  conversation,
• 36:55
  because
• 36:56
  of
• 36:56
  your
• 36:56
  book.
• 36:57
  And
• 36:57
  I
• 36:58
  was
• 36:58
  like,
• 36:58
  wow,
• 36:59
  do
• 36:59
  tell
• 36:59
  me,
• 36:59
  like,
• 37:00
  what
• 37:00
  kind
• 37:00
  of
• 37:00
  conversation
• 37:01
  you
• 37:01
  actually
• 37:01
  made.
• 37:01
  And
• 37:02
  it
• 37:02
  was
• 37:02
  like,
• 37:02
  not
• 37:03
  only.
• 37:03
  It
• 37:03
  was
• 37:03
  just.
• 37:03
  I
• 37:03
  thought
• 37:03
  it
• 37:04
  was
• 37:04
  about
• 37:04
  healthy
• 37:05
  food
• 37:05
  because
• 37:05
  I
• 37:05
  was
• 37:05
  trying
• 37:05
  to
• 37:05
  make
• 37:05
  my
• 37:06
  kid
• 37:06
  eat
• 37:06
  healthy
• 37:06
  food.
• 37:07
  But
• 37:08
  not
• 37:08
  only
• 37:08
  that,
• 37:09
  I
• 37:09
  was
• 37:09
  actually
• 37:10
  teaching
• 37:10
  him
• 37:10
  about
• 37:11
  all
• 37:11
  these
• 37:12
  things
• 37:12
  about
• 37:13
  diversity
• 37:13
  because
• 37:14
  I
• 37:14
  heard
• 37:14
  that
• 37:14
  diversity
• 37:15
  was
• 37:15
  so
• 37:15
  hard
• 37:15
  to
• 37:15
  talk
• 37:16
  about
• 37:16
  at
• 37:16
  school.
• 37:17
  But
• 37:17
  this
• 37:17
  made
• 37:18
  it
• 37:18
  very
• 37:18
  simple.
• 37:19
  And
• 37:19
  also
• 37:19
  he
• 37:20
  was
• 37:20
  getting
• 37:20
  to
• 37:20
  talk
• 37:20
  about
• 37:21
  Bullying
• 37:21
  because
• 37:21
  he
• 37:21
  didn't
• 37:22
  know
• 37:22
  that
• 37:22
  his
• 37:23
  son
• 37:23
  was
• 37:23
  getting
• 37:23
  bullied
• 37:23
  at
• 37:24
  school.
• 37:24
  And
• 37:24
  then
• 37:24
  this
• 37:25
  expressed
• 37:25
  how
• 37:26
  bullying
• 37:27
  was
• 37:27
  not
• 37:27
  okay.
• 37:28
  And
• 37:28
  then
• 37:28
  he
• 37:29
  found
• 37:29
  out
• 37:29
  his
• 37:29
  son
• 37:29
  was
• 37:29
  getting
• 37:30
  bullied.
• 37:31
  He
• 37:31
  found
• 37:31
  out
• 37:32
  that
• 37:32
  his
• 37:32
  son
• 37:32
  was
• 37:33
  getting
• 37:33
  identity
• 37:34
  lost.
• 37:34
  He
• 37:35
  was
• 37:35
  his
• 37:35
  again,
• 37:36
  his
• 37:36
  son
• 37:36
  was
• 37:36
  getting
• 37:36
  identity
• 37:37
  lost.
• 37:37
  But
• 37:37
  he
• 37:37
  found
• 37:38
  out
• 37:38
  that
• 37:38
  because
• 37:39
  of
• 37:39
  this
• 37:39
  book,
• 37:40
  his
• 37:40
  son
• 37:40
  got
• 37:41
  more
• 37:41
  encouragement
• 37:42
  and
• 37:42
  more
• 37:42
  confidence.
• 37:43
  And
• 37:43
  he
• 37:43
  said,
• 37:43
  you
• 37:43
  know
• 37:43
  what?
• 37:44
  I
• 37:44
  want
• 37:44
  to
• 37:44
  be
• 37:44
  like
• 37:44
  Carol
• 37:45
  the
• 37:45
  Carrot.
• 37:45
  Wow.
• 37:46
  His
• 37:47
  son
• 37:47
  keeps
• 37:47
  talking
• 37:48
  to
• 37:48
  his
• 37:48
  father
• 37:48
  every
• 37:49
  dinner
• 37:49
  time
• 37:49
  now.
• 37:50
  Oh,
• 37:50
  that's
• 37:51
  fantastic.
• 37:52
  You
• 37:52
  know
• 37:52
  what?
• 37:53
  Isn't
• 37:53
  that
• 37:53
  great
• 37:53
  when
• 37:54
  your
• 37:54
  book
• 37:55
  fosters
• 37:55
  that
• 37:56
  type
• 37:56
  of
• 37:56
  feeling
• 37:57
  and
• 37:57
  conversation?
• 37:58
  Like,
• 37:59
  you
• 37:59
  never
• 37:59
  really
• 37:59
  think,
• 38:00
  oh,
• 38:00
  I've
• 38:00
  written
• 38:01
  this
• 38:02
  children's
• 38:02
  book,
• 38:02
  but
• 38:02
  you
• 38:03
  never
• 38:03
  think,
• 38:03
  oh,
• 38:04
  like,
• 38:04
  what's
• 38:05
  it
• 38:05
  going
• 38:05
  to
• 38:06
  do
• 38:06
  in
• 38:06
  terms
• 38:06
  of
• 38:06
  creating
• 38:07
  conversation
• 38:08
  between
• 38:09
  either
• 38:09
  a
• 38:09
  child
• 38:10
  and
• 38:10
  their
• 38:10
  parent
• 38:11
  or
• 38:11
  a
• 38:11
  child
• 38:11
  and
• 38:11
  their
• 38:12
  grandparent?
• 38:13
  Quite
• 38:13
  interesting.
• 38:14
  Yes.
• 38:14
  And,
• 38:15
  yeah,
• 38:15
  just
• 38:15
  to
• 38:15
  go
• 38:15
  back
• 38:15
  to
• 38:16
  your
• 38:16
  question,
• 38:16
  that
• 38:16
  motivated
• 38:17
  me
• 38:17
  as
• 38:17
  an
• 38:17
  author,
• 38:18
  and
• 38:18
  also
• 38:19
  that's
• 38:19
  how
• 38:20
  I
• 38:20
  get
• 38:20
  to
• 38:20
  create
• 38:21
  a
• 38:21
  character
• 38:22
  through
• 38:22
  illustration
• 38:23
  that
• 38:23
  not
• 38:24
  only
• 38:24
  is
• 38:25
  cute
• 38:25
  or
• 38:26
  beautiful,
• 38:26
  but
• 38:27
  more
• 38:27
  than
• 38:27
  that.
• 38:28
  So
• 38:29
  this
• 38:29
  leads
• 38:29
  me
• 38:29
  to
• 38:30
  my
• 38:30
  next
• 38:30
  question.
• 38:31
  Is
• 38:31
  your
• 38:31
  writing
• 38:32
  process.
• 38:33
  So
• 38:33
  tell
• 38:33
  us
• 38:34
  a
• 38:34
  little
• 38:34
  bit
• 38:34
  about
• 38:35
  when
• 38:35
  you
• 38:35
  first
• 38:36
  started
• 38:36
  and
• 38:37
  listening
• 38:38
  to
• 38:38
  how
• 38:38
  things
• 38:39
  have
• 38:39
  happened
• 38:39
  for
• 38:39
  you
• 38:40
  with
• 38:40
  your.
• 38:40
  With
• 38:41
  people
• 38:41
  who
• 38:41
  have
• 38:41
  read
• 38:41
  your
• 38:42
  book.
• 38:42
  And
• 38:42
  coming
• 38:42
  up
• 38:43
  to
• 38:43
  you,
• 38:43
  has
• 38:43
  your
• 38:44
  writing
• 38:44
  process
• 38:45
  changed
• 38:46
  from
• 38:46
  when
• 38:47
  you
• 38:47
  first
• 38:47
  started
• 38:48
  Carol
• 38:49
  and
• 38:49
  to
• 38:50
  now,
• 38:51
  like,
• 38:51
  how
• 38:51
  is
• 38:52
  it
• 38:52
  evolving?
• 38:53
  My
• 38:53
  writing
• 38:54
  process,
• 38:54
  When
• 38:54
  I
• 38:54
  first
• 38:55
  started
• 38:55
  my
• 38:55
  first
• 38:56
  draft
• 38:56
  with
• 38:57
  Carol
• 38:57
  the
• 38:57
  carrot
• 38:58
  was
• 38:58
  not
• 38:58
  Carol
• 38:58
  the
• 38:59
  Carrot
• 38:59
  itself.
• 39:00
  It
• 39:00
  was
• 39:00
  very
• 39:01
  random.
• 39:01
  It
• 39:02
  was
• 39:02
  about
• 39:02
  to
• 39:02
  be
• 39:03
  something
• 39:03
  different.
• 39:03
  I
• 39:03
  should
• 39:04
  have
• 39:04
  wrote
• 39:04
  a
• 39:04
  note
• 39:04
  down
• 39:05
  what
• 39:05
  it
• 39:05
  used
• 39:05
  to
• 39:05
  be
• 39:06
  called.
• 39:06
  But
• 39:07
  I
• 39:07
  wanted
• 39:07
  to
• 39:08
  write
• 39:08
  something
• 39:08
  different
• 39:09
  other
• 39:09
  than
• 39:10
  salad
• 39:10
  bowl.
• 39:11
  I
• 39:11
  just
• 39:11
  wanted
• 39:11
  to
• 39:11
  write
• 39:12
  something
• 39:12
  like,
• 39:13
  oh,
• 39:13
  Carol
• 39:13
  the
• 39:13
  Carrot
• 39:14
  was
• 39:14
  writing
• 39:14
  a
• 39:15
  school
• 39:15
  bus.
• 39:15
  And
• 39:15
  then
• 39:16
  she
• 39:16
  got
• 39:16
  an
• 39:16
  A
• 39:16
  at
• 39:17
  school,
• 39:17
  and
• 39:17
  then
• 39:17
  she
• 39:18
  got
• 39:18
  into
• 39:18
  this
• 39:19
  school
• 39:19
  game,
• 39:19
  and
• 39:20
  that's
• 39:20
  it.
• 39:20
  And
• 39:20
  I'm
• 39:21
  like,
• 39:21
  some
• 39:21
  of
• 39:21
  this
• 39:22
  seems
• 39:22
  boring.
• 39:23
  I
• 39:23
  think
• 39:23
  that's
• 39:23
  so
• 39:24
  typical.
• 39:25
  And
• 39:25
  it
• 39:25
  seems
• 39:26
  too,
• 39:26
  there
• 39:26
  is
• 39:26
  no
• 39:27
  challenge.
• 39:27
  I
• 39:27
  want
• 39:28
  some
• 39:28
  challenge.
• 39:28
  Because
• 39:29
  a
• 39:29
  lot
• 39:29
  of
• 39:29
  kids
• 39:29
  go
• 39:29
  through
• 39:30
  challenge.
• 39:30
  Absolutely.
• 39:32
  Because
• 39:32
  that's
• 39:32
  how
• 39:32
  our
• 39:32
  life
• 39:33
  is.
• 39:33
  And
• 39:34
  I
• 39:34
  was
• 39:34
  like,
• 39:34
  I
• 39:34
  want
• 39:34
  to
• 39:34
  incorporate
• 39:35
  a
• 39:35
  sport
• 39:36
  in
• 39:36
  there.
• 39:36
  That's
• 39:36
  how
• 39:37
  I
• 39:37
  keep
• 39:37
  developing
• 39:37
  my
• 39:37
  writing.
• 39:38
  I'm
• 39:38
  like,
• 39:38
  I
• 39:38
  have
• 39:38
  to
• 39:38
  put.
• 39:39
  I
• 39:39
  have
• 39:39
  to
• 39:39
  put
• 39:39
  something.
• 39:40
  And
• 39:40
  that's
• 39:40
  how
• 39:41
  our
• 39:41
  writing
• 39:41
  comes
• 39:41
  in.
• 39:42
  And
• 39:42
  we
• 39:42
  learned
• 39:42
  this
• 39:42
  from
• 39:43
  our
• 39:43
  school.
• 39:44
  We
• 39:44
  have
• 39:44
  to
• 39:44
  put
• 39:44
  a
• 39:44
  climax
• 39:45
  in
• 39:45
  there.
• 39:45
  We
• 39:45
  have
• 39:45
  to
• 39:45
  put
• 39:46
  our
• 39:46
  resolution
• 39:46
  in
• 39:47
  there.
• 39:47
  We
• 39:47
  have
• 39:47
  to
• 39:48
  do
• 39:48
  this
• 39:48
  and
• 39:49
  that.
• 39:49
  And
• 39:49
  I
• 39:49
  literally,
• 39:50
  Rick,
• 39:50
  I
• 39:50
  had
• 39:51
  to
• 39:51
  crumble
• 39:51
  my
• 39:51
  paper,
• 39:52
  threw
• 39:52
  it
• 39:52
  up.
• 39:52
  And
• 39:52
  like,
• 39:53
  lots
• 39:53
  of
• 39:53
  movies,
• 39:53
  see
• 39:54
  that
• 39:54
  with
• 39:54
  authors
• 39:54
  where
• 39:54
  you
• 39:55
  literally,
• 39:56
  absolutely
• 39:58
  throw
• 39:58
  it
• 39:58
  in
• 39:58
  their
• 39:59
  back.
• 39:59
  I
• 39:59
  literally
• 40:00
  did
• 40:00
  that.
• 40:00
  I
• 40:00
  thought
• 40:00
  it
• 40:00
  was
• 40:01
  in
• 40:01
  the
• 40:01
  movies,
• 40:01
  but
• 40:01
  I
• 40:02
  literally
• 40:02
  had
• 40:02
  to
• 40:02
  do
• 40:02
  that
• 40:03
  in
• 40:03
  real
• 40:03
  life.
• 40:03
  Right.
• 40:05
  Doing
• 40:05
  an
• 40:05
  event,
• 40:06
  crumbling
• 40:06
  my
• 40:07
  paper.
• 40:07
  I
• 40:07
  can't
• 40:07
  do
• 40:07
  this.
• 40:07
  No.
• 40:08
  I
• 40:08
  was
• 40:08
  literally
• 40:09
  burned
• 40:09
  out
• 40:10
  from
• 40:10
  writing.
• 40:11
  And
• 40:12
  I
• 40:13
  think
• 40:13
  as
• 40:13
  a
• 40:13
  writer,
• 40:14
  just
• 40:14
  keep
• 40:14
  writing
• 40:15
  draft
• 40:15
  after
• 40:16
  draft
• 40:16
  and
• 40:16
  after
• 40:16
  draft.
• 40:17
  But
• 40:17
  my
• 40:18
  discipline
• 40:18
  from
• 40:18
  a
• 40:19
  teacher,
• 40:19
  as
• 40:19
  a
• 40:19
  teacher
• 40:20
  really
• 40:21
  disciplined
• 40:22
  me
• 40:22
  from
• 40:22
  keep
• 40:22
  writing,
• 40:23
  don't
• 40:23
  give
• 40:24
  up.
• 40:24
  Keep
• 40:24
  writing,
• 40:25
  don't
• 40:25
  give
• 40:25
  up.
• 40:26
  Really
• 40:26
  had
• 40:27
  me
• 40:27
  disciplined
• 40:27
  to
• 40:28
  really
• 40:29
  making
• 40:29
  a
• 40:29
  book
• 40:30
  and
• 40:31
  to
• 40:31
  write
• 40:31
  my
• 40:31
  second
• 40:32
  book
• 40:32
  right
• 40:32
  now,
• 40:32
  which
• 40:33
  I
• 40:33
  want
• 40:33
  to
• 40:33
  announce
• 40:33
  that
• 40:34
  I'm
• 40:34
  actually
• 40:34
  on
• 40:35
  my
• 40:35
  second
• 40:35
  book
• 40:36
  with

  Cara

  Fantastic.

  Yes.

  And
• 40:43
  that
• 40:44
  really
• 40:44
  helped
• 40:44
  me
• 40:44
  from
• 40:44
  my
• 40:45
  first
• 40:45
  book
• 40:45
  of
• 40:46
  how
• 40:46
  I
• 40:46
  can
• 40:46
  transition
• 40:47
  that
• 40:47
  and
• 40:47
  really
• 40:48
  help
• 40:48
  me
• 40:48
  practice
• 40:49
  that
• 40:49
  as
• 40:50
  a
• 40:50
  writer
• 40:50
  of,
• 40:51
  oh,
• 40:51
  this
• 40:51
  is
• 40:51
  how
• 40:51
  it
• 40:51
  works.
• 40:52
  Oh,
• 40:52
  this
• 40:52
  is
• 40:52
  how
• 40:52
  it
• 40:53
  works.
• 40:53
  And
• 40:53
  I'm
• 40:54
  actually
• 40:54
  learning
• 40:54
  that
• 40:54
  from
• 40:54
  my
• 40:55
  editor,
• 40:55
  which
• 40:55
  is
• 40:55
  Sharon
• 40:56
  Jennings,
• 40:56
  which
• 40:57
  absolutely
• 40:57
  amazing
• 40:58
  editor.
• 40:59
  And
• 40:59
  I
• 40:59
  really
• 40:59
  learned
• 40:59
  from
• 41:00
  my
• 41:00
  editor.
• 41:00
  I
• 41:01
  learned
• 41:01
  from
• 41:01
  her
• 41:01
  feedbacks.
• 41:02
  I
• 41:02
  learned
• 41:02
  from
• 41:03
  my
• 41:03
  audience.
• 41:04
  Most
• 41:04
  of
• 41:04
  my
• 41:04
  audience
• 41:05
  are
• 41:05
  from
• 41:05
  my
• 41:06
  parents
• 41:06
  and
• 41:06
  other
• 41:07
  authors
• 41:08
  and
• 41:08
  other,
• 41:08
  like,
• 41:09
  family
• 41:09
  members.
• 41:10
  They're
• 41:11
  amazing
• 41:11
  feedback.
• 41:12
  They're
• 41:12
  not
• 41:12
  more
• 41:13
  critical
• 41:13
  things.
• 41:13
  I
• 41:13
  think
• 41:14
  most
• 41:14
  people
• 41:15
  come
• 41:15
  from
• 41:15
  the
• 41:15
  kids.
• 41:15
  They're
• 41:16
  like,
• 41:16
  can
• 41:16
  you
• 41:17
  make
• 41:17
  it
• 41:17
  more
• 41:17
  fun
• 41:18
  or
• 41:18
  can
• 41:18
  you
• 41:18
  make
• 41:18
  less
• 41:19
  veggies?
• 41:19
  Can
• 41:20
  you
• 41:20
  unicorn?
• 41:21
  And
• 41:22
  I'm
• 41:22
  like,
• 41:23
  put
• 41:23
  more
• 41:23
  unicorn
• 41:24
  in
• 41:24
  days.
• 41:25
  Do
• 41:25
  that.
• 41:26
  Very
• 41:26
  interesting.
• 41:27
  I
• 41:27
  always
• 41:27
  think
• 41:27
  about,
• 41:28
  did
• 41:28
  you
• 41:28
  do
• 41:28
  any
• 41:29
  research?
• 41:29
  But
• 41:29
  so
• 41:30
  would
• 41:30
  you
• 41:30
  say
• 41:31
  your
• 41:31
  research
• 41:31
  was.
• 41:32
  Was
• 41:33
  your
• 41:33
  readers?
• 41:34
  My
• 41:34
  research
• 41:35
  was
• 41:35
  my
• 41:35
  readers.
• 41:36
  My
• 41:36
  research
• 41:37
  was
• 41:37
  more
• 41:38
  of
• 41:38
  my.
• 41:38
  My
• 41:39
  reviews.
• 41:40
  Okay.
• 41:40
  And
• 41:41
  also
• 41:41
  when
• 41:42
  I
• 41:42
  was
• 41:42
  writing
• 41:42
  my
• 41:43
  first
• 41:43
  book
• 41:43
  of
• 41:43
  Carol
• 41:44
  the
• 41:44
  Carrot,
• 41:45
  my
• 41:45
  research
• 41:45
  was
• 41:46
  based
• 41:46
  on
• 41:46
  going
• 41:47
  to
• 41:47
  bookstores
• 41:48
  and
• 41:48
  libraries
• 41:49
  when
• 41:49
  I
• 41:49
  was
• 41:50
  first
• 41:50
  writing
• 41:50
  my
• 41:50
  book,
• 41:51
  because
• 41:51
  I
• 41:51
  literally
• 41:52
  had
• 41:52
  to
• 41:53
  go
• 41:53
  into
• 41:54
  categories
• 41:54
  of
• 41:55
  what
• 41:55
  I
• 41:56
  really
• 41:56
  aim
• 41:56
  for,
• 41:57
  such
• 41:57
  as
• 41:57
  for
• 41:58
  my
• 41:58
  authors
• 41:58
  out
• 41:58
  there,
• 41:59
  I
• 41:59
  really
• 41:59
  recommend
• 42:00
  going
• 42:00
  to
• 42:00
  the
• 42:00
  themes
• 42:01
  of
• 42:01
  what
• 42:01
  you
• 42:02
  really
• 42:02
  interested
• 42:03
  in,
• 42:03
  such
• 42:03
  as
• 42:03
  if
• 42:03
  you're
• 42:04
  interested
• 42:04
  in
• 42:04
  bullying
• 42:05
  or
• 42:05
  anti
• 42:05
  bullying,
• 42:06
  go
• 42:06
  to
• 42:07
  those
• 42:07
  books,
• 42:08
  get
• 42:08
  those
• 42:09
  books
• 42:09
  and
• 42:09
  see
• 42:10
  how
• 42:10
  those
• 42:10
  authors
• 42:11
  really
• 42:12
  tell
• 42:12
  their
• 42:13
  stories.
• 42:13
  And
• 42:13
  why
• 42:14
  are
• 42:14
  there
• 42:14
  like
• 42:15
  number
• 42:15
  one
• 42:15
  bestselling
• 42:16
  authors
• 42:16
  or
• 42:17
  why
• 42:17
  they
• 42:17
  won
• 42:18
  those
• 42:18
  awards
• 42:19
  and
• 42:19
  see
• 42:19
  what
• 42:20
  moved
• 42:20
  the
• 42:20
  audience
• 42:21
  and
• 42:22
  read
• 42:22
  those
• 42:22
  and
• 42:22
  research
• 42:23
  those
• 42:23
  writers.
• 42:24
  Okay.
• 42:24
  Because
• 42:24
  you
• 42:25
  talked
• 42:25
  about.
• 42:25
  And
• 42:26
  I
• 42:26
  don't
• 42:26
  want
• 42:27
  to
• 42:27
  take
• 42:27
  away
• 42:27
  from
• 42:27
  this
• 42:28
  because
• 42:28
  I
• 42:28
  think
• 42:28
  it's
• 42:28
  so
• 42:29
  important
• 42:29
  you
• 42:30
  talked
• 42:30
  about
• 42:31
  the
• 42:31
  adults
• 42:32
  that
• 42:32
  came
• 42:32
  to
• 42:32
  you.
• 42:32
  But
• 42:33
  maybe
• 42:33
  tell
• 42:33
  us
• 42:34
  a
• 42:34
  little
• 42:34
  bit
• 42:34
  about
• 42:34
  your
• 42:35
  experiences
• 42:35
  with
• 42:36
  the
• 42:36
  children
• 42:37
  who
• 42:37
  read
• 42:38
  your
• 42:38
  book
• 42:38
  and
• 42:39
  how
• 42:39
  did
• 42:39
  they
• 42:39
  view
• 42:40
  it?
• 42:40
  What
• 42:40
  was
• 42:41
  their
• 42:41
  thoughts
• 42:41
  and
• 42:42
  how
• 42:42
  did
• 42:42
  you
• 42:42
  impact
• 42:43
  them?
• 42:43
  Wow.
• 42:44
  The
• 42:44
  kids,
• 42:45
  amazing.
• 42:46
  They're.
• 42:46
  They're
• 42:46
  the
• 42:47
  critics
• 42:47
  of
• 42:47
  all
• 42:48
  of
• 42:48
  our
• 42:49
  children's
• 42:49
  book.
• 42:49
  They
• 42:50
  think
• 42:50
  they're
• 42:50
  the
• 42:51
  actual
• 42:51
  critics.
• 42:52
  They
• 42:52
  see
• 42:52
  you
• 42:53
  and
• 42:53
  my
• 42:53
  book
• 42:54
  is
• 42:54
  actually
• 42:55
  very
• 42:55
  interesting
• 42:56
  story.
• 42:56
  More
• 42:57
  than
• 42:57
  the
• 42:57
  adults.
• 42:57
  Because
• 42:58
  when
• 42:58
  you
• 42:58
  see
• 42:59
  first
• 42:59
  see
• 42:59
  the
• 42:59
  kids,
• 43:00
  you
• 43:00
  should
• 43:00
  see
• 43:00
  their
• 43:00
  faces.
• 43:01
  They're
• 43:01
  like,
• 43:02
  wait,
• 43:02
  a
• 43:02
  carrot?
• 43:03
  It's
• 43:04
  not
• 43:04
  like
• 43:04
  unicorn.
• 43:05
  It's
• 43:05
  not
• 43:05
  something
• 43:06
  beautiful
• 43:06
  rainbow.
• 43:07
  And
• 43:07
  the
• 43:08
  aesthetic
• 43:08
  pleasing
• 43:09
  what
• 43:09
  they
• 43:09
  want,
• 43:09
  it's
• 43:10
  not
• 43:10
  trending,
• 43:10
  I
• 43:11
  think.
• 43:11
  But
• 43:12
  when
• 43:12
  they
• 43:12
  open
• 43:13
  the
• 43:13
  book,
• 43:13
  they're
• 43:13
  like,
• 43:14
  I
• 43:15
  see
• 43:15
  where
• 43:15
  this
• 43:15
  is
• 43:16
  going.
• 43:16
  Okay.
• 43:17
  Actually,
• 43:17
  this
• 43:17
  is
• 43:17
  fun.
• 43:18
  Okay,
• 43:19
  I'll
• 43:19
  see,
• 43:19
  I'll
• 43:19
  see
• 43:20
  this.
• 43:20
  Okay,
• 43:20
  I'll
• 43:20
  buy
• 43:20
  it.
• 43:21
  That's
• 43:21
  them.
• 43:22
  And
• 43:22
  they
• 43:22
  actually
• 43:22
  buy
• 43:22
  the
• 43:23
  book.
• 43:23
  And
• 43:24
  they
• 43:24
  want
• 43:24
  their
• 43:24
  mom
• 43:24
  and
• 43:24
  dad
• 43:25
  to
• 43:25
  buy
• 43:25
  their
• 43:25
  book.
• 43:25
  And
• 43:26
  this
• 43:26
  is
• 43:26
  real
• 43:26
  fact.
• 43:26
  I'm
• 43:27
  not
• 43:27
  saying,
• 43:27
  I'm
• 43:27
  not
• 43:27
  sugarcoating
• 43:28
  anything
• 43:28
  because
• 43:28
  I
• 43:28
  want
• 43:29
  you
• 43:29
  guys

  of

  Carol
• 43:31
  the
• 43:31
  character
• 43:31
  through
• 43:32
  kids
• 43:32
  lens.
• 43:33
  Absolutely.
• 43:34
  It's
• 43:34
  totally
• 43:34
  different
• 43:35
  with
• 43:35
  adults.
• 43:35
  That's
• 43:35
  why
• 43:36
  adults
• 43:36
  like
• 43:36
  my
• 43:37
  book
• 43:37
  more

• 44:11
  granddaughter
• 44:11
  was
• 44:12
  like
• 44:12
  my
• 44:12
  awakening
• 44:13
  in
• 44:14
  terms
• 44:14
  of
• 44:15
  my
• 44:15
  imagination
• 44:16
  because
• 44:17
  she
• 44:18
  triggered
• 44:18
  all
• 44:18
  that.
• 44:19
  If
• 44:19
  it
• 44:20
  wasn't
• 44:20
  for
• 44:20
  her
• 44:20
  saying,
• 44:21
  we
• 44:21
  did
• 44:21
  all
• 44:22
  these
• 44:22
  adventures
• 44:22
  together.
• 44:23
  But
• 44:23
  I
• 44:23
  looked
• 44:23
  at
• 44:24
  it
• 44:24
  as
• 44:24
  if
• 44:25
  we
• 44:25
  went
• 44:25
  for
• 44:26
  a
• 44:26
  hike
• 44:27
  or
• 44:27
  we
• 44:27
  went.
• 44:28
  I
• 44:28
  taught
• 44:28
  her
• 44:29
  how
• 44:29
  to
• 44:29
  ski,
• 44:29
  or
• 44:30
  we
• 44:30
  went
• 44:30
  horseback
• 44:31
  riding
• 44:31
  or
• 44:31
  whatever.
• 44:32
  In
• 44:32
  her,
• 44:33
  her
• 44:33
  mind
• 44:33
  it
• 44:34
  was
• 44:34
  much
• 44:34
  more
• 44:34
  than
• 44:35
  that.
• 44:35
  And
• 44:36
  in
• 44:37
  my
• 44:37
  mind
• 44:37
  it
• 44:37
  was,
• 44:38
  you
• 44:38
  know
• 44:39
  what?
• 44:39
  I
• 44:39
  was
• 44:39
  getting
• 44:39
  to
• 44:39
  do
• 44:40
  something
• 44:40
  with
• 44:40
  my
• 44:40
  granddaughter,
• 44:41
  which
• 44:41
  was
• 44:42
  skiing.
• 44:43
  But
• 44:43
  then
• 44:43
  we
• 44:43
  ended
• 44:44
  up
• 44:44
  writing
• 44:45
  a
• 44:45
  story
• 44:46
  about
• 44:46
  these
• 44:46
  people
• 44:47
  from
• 44:47
  Arkansas,
• 44:48
  because
• 44:49
  what
• 44:50
  we
• 44:50
  were
• 44:50
  skiing
• 44:50
  in
• 44:51
  the
• 44:51
  Canadian
• 44:51
  Rocky
• 44:52
  Mountains
• 44:53
  and
• 44:53
  there
• 44:53
  was
• 44:54
  this
• 44:54
  young
• 44:54
  couple
• 44:55
  from
• 44:55
  Arkansas,
• 44:56
  and
• 44:57
  Arkansas
• 44:57
  doesn't
• 44:58
  get
• 44:58
  much
• 44:58
  snow.
• 44:59
  So
• 44:59
  we
• 44:59
  were
• 44:59
  thinking,
• 45:00
  how
• 45:00
  did,
• 45:01
  how
• 45:01
  do
• 45:01
  you
• 45:01
  end
• 45:01
  up
• 45:02
  even
• 45:02
  knowing
• 45:02
  how
• 45:02
  to
• 45:02
  snowboard
• 45:03
  when
• 45:03
  you're
• 45:04
  from
• 45:04
  Arkansas?
• 45:05
  And
• 45:06
  then
• 45:06
  we
• 45:07
  actually
• 45:07
  got
• 45:07
  to
• 45:07
  spend
• 45:08
  time
• 45:08
  in
• 45:09
  a
• 45:09
  ski
• 45:09
  gondola
• 45:10
  talking
• 45:11
  to
• 45:11
  them.
• 45:11
  And
• 45:12
  then
• 45:12
  when
• 45:12
  we
• 45:12
  got
• 45:13
  off
• 45:13
  the
• 45:13
  gondola,
• 45:14
  what
• 45:14
  we
• 45:14
  didn't
• 45:15
  realize
• 45:15
  is
• 45:15
  we
• 45:16
  went
• 45:16
  up
• 45:16
  the
• 45:16
  same
• 45:16
  ski
• 45:17
  run
• 45:17
  and
• 45:18
  we
• 45:18
  got
• 45:18
  to
• 45:18
  the
• 45:18
  top.
• 45:19
  Unfortunately,
• 45:20
  the
• 45:21
  young
• 45:21
  ladies
• 45:22
  ski
• 45:22
  board
• 45:23
  a
• 45:23
  snowboard
• 45:24
  Went
• 45:24
  rushing
• 45:25
  down
• 45:25
  the
• 45:25
  hill
• 45:26
  and
• 45:26
  my
• 45:26
  five
• 45:27
  year
• 45:27
  old
• 45:27
  granddaughter
• 45:28
  who
• 45:28
  was
• 45:28
  just
• 45:29
  learning
• 45:29
  how
• 45:29
  to
• 45:29
  ski,
• 45:30
  she
• 45:31
  chased
• 45:31
  it
• 45:31
  down
• 45:32
  like
• 45:33
  I
• 45:33
  was
• 45:33
  like.
• 45:34
  And
• 45:34
  she
• 45:34
  was
• 45:34
  chasing
• 45:35
  this
• 45:35
  snowboard
• 45:36
  and
• 45:36
  she
• 45:36
  rescued
• 45:37
  it.
• 45:37
  So
• 45:37
  we
• 45:37
  turned
• 45:37
  that
• 45:38
  into
• 45:38
  a
• 45:39
  story.
• 45:39
  But
• 45:40
  if
• 45:40
  it
• 45:40
  wasn't
• 45:40
  for
• 45:41
  her,
• 45:42
  that
• 45:42
  story
• 45:42
  wouldn't
• 45:43
  have
• 45:43
  come
• 45:43
  to
• 45:43
  light.
• 45:43
  But
• 45:44
  it
• 45:44
  was,
• 45:45
  we
• 45:45
  call
• 45:45
  it
• 45:46
  Riding
• 45:46
  the
• 45:46
  Rainbow
• 45:47
  to
• 45:47
  Arkansas.
• 45:48
  And
• 45:48
  that
• 45:48
  was
• 45:49
  how
• 45:49
  we
• 45:49
  developed
• 45:50
  the
• 45:50
  story.
• 45:51
  That
• 45:51
  is
• 45:51
  amazing.
• 45:52
  Oh
• 45:52
  my
• 45:52
  God.
• 45:53
  Yeah,
• 45:54
  that's
• 45:54
  amazing.
• 45:55
  So
• 45:56
  when
• 45:56
  you
• 45:57
  talk
• 45:57
  about
• 45:58
  success
• 45:59
  of
• 46:00
  your
• 46:00
  book,
• 46:01
  tell
• 46:01
  us
• 46:01
  a
• 46:01
  little
• 46:02
  bit
• 46:02
  about
• 46:02
  how
• 46:02
  are
• 46:03
  you
• 46:03
  measuring
• 46:04
  success.
• 46:04
  I
• 46:04
  know
• 46:04
  we'd
• 46:05
  all
• 46:05
  like
• 46:05
  to
• 46:05
  sell
• 46:06
  thousands
• 46:06
  of
• 46:07
  books,
• 46:07
  but
• 46:08
  how
• 46:08
  are
• 46:08
  you
• 46:08
  measuring
• 46:09
  your
• 46:09
  success?
• 46:10
  So
• 46:11
  success
• 46:11
  for
• 46:12
  me
• 46:13
  is
• 46:13
  more
• 46:14
  like
• 46:15
  I
• 46:15
  want
• 46:15
  to
• 46:15
  say
• 46:16
  I
• 46:16
  thought
• 46:16
  success
• 46:17
  is
• 46:17
  going
• 46:17
  to
• 46:17
  be
• 46:17
  like,
• 46:18
  yes,
• 46:18
  I
• 46:19
  got
• 46:19
  bestseller,
• 46:20
  I
• 46:20
  made
• 46:21
  so
• 46:21
  much
• 46:21
  money.
• 46:22
  But
• 46:23
  it's
• 46:23
  more
• 46:23
  than
• 46:23
  that
• 46:23
  actually
• 46:24
  because
• 46:24
  I
• 46:24
  didn't
• 46:24
  make
• 46:24
  a
• 46:24
  lot
• 46:24
  of
• 46:25
  money
• 46:25
  through
• 46:25
  my
• 46:25
  books
• 46:26
  actually.
• 46:26
  It's
• 46:26
  actually
• 46:26
  more
• 46:27
  than
• 46:27
  that.
• 46:27
  It
• 46:27
  was
• 46:28
  the
• 46:28
  fulfillment
• 46:29
  from
• 46:30
  parents,
• 46:31
  educators,
• 46:32
  children.
• 46:33
  Just
• 46:33
  seeing
• 46:34
  their
• 46:34
  smile
• 46:35
  was
• 46:36
  the
• 46:36
  most
• 46:36
  success
• 46:37
  fulfillment
• 46:38
  I
• 46:39
  ever
• 46:39
  felt
• 46:39
  in
• 46:39
  my
• 46:40
  life.
• 46:40
  Even
• 46:41
  from
• 46:41
  teaching.
• 46:41
  All
• 46:42
  the
• 46:42
  teachers
• 46:42
  out
• 46:43
  there
• 46:43
  probably
• 46:43
  relate
• 46:44
  of
• 46:44
  when
• 46:45
  you
• 46:45
  teach
• 46:45
  something,
• 46:45
  you're
• 46:46
  like,
• 46:46
  you
• 46:46
  see
• 46:46
  the
• 46:46
  kid
• 46:47
  go
• 46:47
  like,
• 46:47
  I
• 46:48
  found
• 46:48
  it
• 46:48
  a
• 46:48
  eureka.
• 46:49
  I
• 46:49
  can
• 46:50
  solve
• 46:50
  it.
• 46:50
  Like
• 46:50
  when
• 46:50
  you
• 46:50
  see
• 46:51
  those
• 46:51
  kids
• 46:51
  brighten
• 46:52
  their
• 46:52
  eyes
• 46:52
  and
• 46:52
  you
• 46:53
  oh,
• 46:53
  I
• 46:53
  taught
• 46:54
  them
• 46:54
  something.
• 46:55
  It's
• 46:55
  the
• 46:55
  same
• 46:56
  feeling
• 46:56
  when
• 46:57
  you
• 46:57
  make
• 46:57
  a
• 46:57
  book
• 46:57
  and
• 46:58
  you
• 46:58
  see
• 46:58
  their
• 46:58
  kids
• 46:59
  really
• 47:00
  want
• 47:00
  to
• 47:00
  read
• 47:01
  your
• 47:01
  book
• 47:01
  or
• 47:02
  a
• 47:02
  full
• 47:02
  grown
• 47:03
  adult
• 47:03
  tear
• 47:03
  their
• 47:04
  eyes
• 47:04
  while
• 47:04
  you
• 47:05
  read
• 47:05
  your
• 47:05
  book.
• 47:06
  I
• 47:06
  feel
• 47:06
  like
• 47:06
  that's
• 47:07
  success
• 47:07
  in
• 47:08
  changing
• 47:08
  people's
• 47:09
  life
• 47:09
  or
• 47:09
  people
• 47:10
  from
• 47:10
  the
• 47:10
  hospital,
• 47:11
  a
• 47:11
  patient
• 47:12
  really
• 47:12
  want
• 47:12
  to
• 47:13
  have
• 47:13
  your
• 47:13
  book
• 47:14
  in
• 47:14
  their
• 47:14
  hands
• 47:15
  because
• 47:15
  you're
• 47:16
  changing
• 47:16
  their
• 47:16
  lives.
• 47:17
  I
• 47:17
  think
• 47:17
  that
• 47:18
  success
• 47:18
  for
• 47:18
  me
• 47:19
  is
• 47:19
  a
• 47:19
  definition
• 47:20
  of
• 47:20
  that
• 47:20
  fantastic.
• 47:22
  I
• 47:22
  just
• 47:22
  love
• 47:22
  to
• 47:22
  hear
• 47:23
  those
• 47:23
  stories
• 47:23
  because
• 47:24
  again,
• 47:24
  we
• 47:24
  all
• 47:25
  know
• 47:25
  that
• 47:25
  there's
• 47:26
  millions
• 47:27
  of
• 47:27
  children's
• 47:27
  books
• 47:28
  and
• 47:28
  we'd
• 47:28
  all
• 47:29
  like
• 47:29
  to
• 47:30
  base
• 47:30
  have
• 47:31
  a
• 47:31
  number
• 47:31
  one
• 47:31
  bestseller
• 47:32
  or
• 47:32
  whatever.
• 47:32
  But
• 47:33
  at
• 47:33
  the
• 47:33
  end
• 47:33
  of
• 47:33
  the
• 47:33
  day,
• 47:34
  how
• 47:34
  you've
• 47:35
  worded
• 47:35
  it,
• 47:35
  Chelsea,
• 47:36
  is
• 47:36
  that's
• 47:37
  how
• 47:37
  I
• 47:37
  feel
• 47:37
  also
• 47:38
  is
• 47:39
  changing
• 47:40
  even
• 47:40
  just
• 47:41
  one
• 47:41
  life
• 47:42
  is
• 47:42
  so
• 47:43
  neat.
• 47:43
  Exactly.
• 47:44
  And
• 47:44
  motivating
• 47:45
  people.
• 47:46
  So
• 47:46
  tell
• 47:46
  me
• 47:46
  now
• 47:47
  the
• 47:47
  role
• 47:47
  of
• 47:48
  writing
• 47:48
  in
• 47:48
  your
• 47:49
  life.
• 47:49
  So
• 47:49
  what's.
• 47:50
  How
• 47:50
  has
• 47:50
  it
• 47:51
  when
• 47:51
  you
• 47:51
  first
• 47:51
  started
• 47:52
  to
• 47:52
  now
• 47:52
  what's
• 47:53
  the
• 47:53
  role
• 47:53
  of
• 47:54
  writing
• 47:54
  in
• 47:54
  your
• 47:54
  life?
• 47:55
  Well,
• 47:55
  writing
• 47:56
  is
• 47:56
  both
• 47:56
  a
• 47:57
  creative
• 47:57
  outlet
• 47:58
  and
• 47:58
  a
• 47:59
  way
• 47:59
  to
• 47:59
  make
• 48:00
  a
• 48:00
  lasting
• 48:00
  impact.
• 48:01
  I
• 48:02
  dedicate
• 48:03
  a
• 48:03
  specific
• 48:04
  time
• 48:05
  during
• 48:05
  the
• 48:05
  week
• 48:05
  to
• 48:05
  write.
• 48:06
  Okay.
• 48:07
  Treating
• 48:07
  it
• 48:07
  as
• 48:08
  an
• 48:08
  essential,
• 48:09
  like
• 48:09
  important
• 48:10
  part
• 48:10
  of
• 48:10
  my
• 48:11
  routine.
• 48:11
  It
• 48:12
  fits
• 48:12
  into
• 48:12
  my
• 48:13
  life
• 48:13
  as
• 48:13
  a
• 48:13
  way
• 48:13
  to
• 48:14
  express
• 48:14
  my
• 48:15
  passion
• 48:15
  and
• 48:16
  share
• 48:16
  a
• 48:16
  meaningful
• 48:17
  story
• 48:17
  with
• 48:17
  the
• 48:17
  world.
• 48:18
  So
• 48:18
  I
• 48:18
  feel
• 48:18
  like
• 48:18
  role
• 48:19
  of
• 48:19
  writing
• 48:19
  and
• 48:20
  as
• 48:20
  a
• 48:20
  writer
• 48:21
  or
• 48:21
  even
• 48:21
  write,
• 48:21
  writing
• 48:22
  has
• 48:22
  become
• 48:22
  a
• 48:22
  routine
• 48:23
  and
• 48:24
  it
• 48:24
  just
• 48:24
  became
• 48:24
  part
• 48:25
  of
• 48:25
  my
• 48:25
  life
• 48:25
  now.
• 48:26
  Wow.
• 48:27
  Wow.
• 48:27
  And
• 48:28
  so
• 48:28
  what
• 48:29
  advice
• 48:29
  would
• 48:29
  you
• 48:30
  give
• 48:30
  to
• 48:31
  under
• 48:32
  aspiring
• 48:32
  or
• 48:33
  aspiring
• 48:34
  authors?
• 48:35
  What
• 48:35
  advice
• 48:36
  would
• 48:36
  you
• 48:36
  give
• 48:36
  them?
• 48:37
  I
• 48:37
  love
• 48:37
  this
• 48:37
  question.
• 48:38
  Start
• 48:38
  with
• 48:39
  your
• 48:39
  why?
• 48:40
  What
• 48:40
  message
• 48:41
  do
• 48:41
  you
• 48:41
  want
• 48:41
  to
• 48:41
  share
• 48:42
  with
• 48:42
  the
• 48:42
  world?
• 48:43
  Once
• 48:43
  you
• 48:43
  know
• 48:43
  that,
• 48:44
  stay
• 48:44
  consistent
• 48:45
  and
• 48:46
  don't
• 48:46
  be
• 48:46
  afraid
• 48:46
  to
• 48:47
  seek
• 48:47
  feedback.
• 48:48
  Surround
• 48:49
  yourself
• 48:49
  with
• 48:49
  supportive
• 48:50
  people
• 48:51
  who
• 48:51
  believe
• 48:51
  in
• 48:52
  your
• 48:52
  vision.
• 48:52
  Just
• 48:53
  like
• 48:53
  Rick.
• 48:54
  Don't
• 48:54
  let
• 48:54
  perfectionism
• 48:55
  delay
• 48:56
  your
• 48:56
  progress.
• 48:57
  That's
• 48:57
  a
• 48:58
  very
• 48:58
  good
• 48:58
  point
• 48:59
  and
• 49:00
  that's
• 49:01
  a
• 49:01
  really
• 49:01
  good
• 49:02
  lesson
• 49:02
  because
• 49:02
  I
• 49:03
  think
• 49:03
  Chelsea
• 49:04
  and
• 49:04
  myself,
• 49:05
  I'd
• 49:05
  like
• 49:05
  to
• 49:05
  luck
• 49:06
  myself
• 49:06
  with
• 49:06
  Chelsea
• 49:07
  is
• 49:07
  that,
• 49:08
  you
• 49:08
  know
• 49:08
  what,
• 49:09
  you
• 49:09
  just
• 49:10
  have
• 49:10
  to
• 49:10
  start
• 49:11
  and
• 49:11
  then
• 49:12
  believe
• 49:12
  that
• 49:12
  you
• 49:13
  can
• 49:13
  do
• 49:13
  it.
• 49:14
  And
• 49:14
  I
• 49:15
  think
• 49:15
  anyone
• 49:16
  can
• 49:16
  actually
• 49:17
  create
• 49:17
  a
• 49:17
  children's
• 49:18
  book.
• 49:18
  You
• 49:18
  just
• 49:18
  have
• 49:19
  to
• 49:19
  have,
• 49:19
  like
• 49:19
  you
• 49:20
  said,
• 49:20
  Chelsea,
• 49:21
  the
• 49:21
  passion
• 49:22
  and
• 49:22
  find
• 49:23
  something
• 49:23
  that
• 49:23
  you're
• 49:24
  really
• 49:24
  out
• 49:25
  and
• 49:25
  you
• 49:26
  can
• 49:26
  make
• 49:26
  it
• 49:26
  happen.
• 49:27
  Exactly.
• 49:28
  So
• 49:29
  let's
• 49:30
  talk
• 49:30
  a
• 49:30
  little
• 49:30
  bit
• 49:30
  about
• 49:31
  the
• 49:31
  readers.
• 49:31
  Now,
• 49:32
  we've
• 49:32
  talked
• 49:32
  about
• 49:33
  aspiring
• 49:34
  authors,
• 49:34
  but
• 49:35
  what's
• 49:36
  your
• 49:36
  encouragement
• 49:37
  for
• 49:37
  your
• 49:37
  readers?
• 49:38
  What
• 49:39
  do
• 49:39
  you,
• 49:39
  what
• 49:39
  would
• 49:39
  you
• 49:39
  like
• 49:40
  to
• 49:40
  say
• 49:40
  to
• 49:40
  your
• 49:40
  readers?
• 49:41
  Whether
• 49:41
  it's
• 49:42
  sometimes,
• 49:43
  maybe
• 49:43
  it's
• 49:43
  not
• 49:44
  children
• 49:44
  that
• 49:44
  are
• 49:44
  listening
• 49:45
  to
• 49:45
  this
• 49:45
  podcast,
• 49:46
  but
• 49:46
  it's
• 49:46
  their
• 49:46
  moms
• 49:47
  or
• 49:47
  dads
• 49:47
  or
• 49:48
  grandmas
• 49:49
  or
• 49:49
  grandpas.
• 49:49
  What
• 49:49
  would
• 49:50
  you
• 49:50
  like
• 49:50
  to
• 49:51
  say
• 49:51
  to
• 49:52
  encourage
• 49:53
  them
• 49:53
  to
• 49:53
  read
• 49:54
  your
• 49:54
  book?
• 49:54
  I
• 49:55
  want
• 49:55
  readers,
• 49:56
  I
• 49:56
  want
• 49:56
  them
• 49:56
  to
• 49:56
  encourage
• 49:57
  to
• 49:57
  pick
• 49:57
  up
• 49:57
  Carol
• 49:58
  the
• 49:58
  Care
• 49:58
  Ball
• 49:58
  sort
• 49:59
  of
• 49:59
  salad
• 49:59
  bowl.
• 50:00
  Absolutely.
• 50:02
  It's
• 50:02
  more
• 50:02
  than
• 50:02
  just
• 50:03
  a
• 50:03
  story,
• 50:03
  guys.
• 50:04
  It's
• 50:04
  a
• 50:04
  tool
• 50:04
  for
• 50:05
  fostering
• 50:05
  leadership
• 50:06
  and
• 50:06
  inclusiveness.
• 50:08
  And
• 50:08
  jokes
• 50:08
  all
• 50:09
  aside,
• 50:09
  I
• 50:09
  just
• 50:09
  want
• 50:10
  everybody
• 50:10
  to
• 50:11
  just
• 50:11
  pick
• 50:11
  up
• 50:11
  a
• 50:12
  book
• 50:12
  for
• 50:12
  the
• 50:13
  kids.
• 50:13
  It's
• 50:14
  very
• 50:14
  important
• 50:15
  to
• 50:15
  just
• 50:15
  read
• 50:16
  to
• 50:16
  your
• 50:16
  kids,
• 50:17
  whether
• 50:17
  you're
• 50:17
  adult
• 50:18
  or
• 50:18
  an
• 50:18
  educator,
• 50:19
  yourself
• 50:19
  or
• 50:20
  grandparents.
• 50:21
  Everyone
• 50:22
  should
• 50:22
  be
• 50:22
  reading
• 50:23
  a
• 50:23
  book
• 50:23
  because
• 50:23
  it's
• 50:24
  such
• 50:24
  a
• 50:24
  life
• 50:25
  lesson
• 50:26
  way
• 50:26
  of
• 50:27
  connecting
• 50:27
  with
• 50:28
  your
• 50:28
  kids.
• 50:29
  Even
• 50:29
  five
• 50:30
  minutes
• 50:30
  a
• 50:30
  day,
• 50:31
  one
• 50:32
  hour,
• 50:32
  it
• 50:33
  doesn't
• 50:33
  really
• 50:33
  matter
• 50:33
  if
• 50:33
  you
• 50:34
  can
• 50:34
  look
• 50:34
  through
• 50:35
  your
• 50:35
  phone
• 50:35
  for
• 50:35
  an
• 50:35
  hour.
• 50:36
  Looking
• 50:37
  at
• 50:37
  a
• 50:37
  book
• 50:37
  for
• 50:38
  just
• 50:38
  five
• 50:38
  minutes
• 50:39
  could
• 50:39
  probably
• 50:39
  change
• 50:40
  your
• 50:40
  life.
• 50:40
  Just
• 50:40
  like
• 50:41
  how
• 50:41
  those
• 50:41
  two
• 50:41
  stories
• 50:42
  I
• 50:42

• 50:42
  you
• 50:42
  about
• 50:42
  that
• 50:43
  one

  the
• 50:48
  rest
• 50:49
  of

  connect
• 50:51
  with

  or

  And

  Final

  Yes.

  It's

  going

  to
• 51:22
  be
