  Thank

• 3:24
  I'd
• 3:25
  just
• 3:25
  like
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  mention
• 3:26
  to
• 3:26
  the
• 3:27
  audience
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  bit
• 3:27
  why
• 3:28
  I'm
• 3:29
  excited
• 3:29
  about
• 3:29
  talking
• 3:30
  to
• 3:30
  Cody.
• 3:31
  My
• 3:31
  grandfather
• 3:32
  was
• 3:32
  a
• 3:32
  firefighter,
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  although
• 3:35
  he
• 3:35
  was
• 3:35
  never
• 3:35
  a
• 3:35
  pilot,
• 3:36
  he.
• 3:36
  He
• 3:36
  was
• 3:36
  a
• 3:37
  firefighter.
• 3:38
  And
• 3:38
  it's
• 3:39
  neat
• 3:39
  because
• 3:39
  one
• 3:39
  of
• 3:40
  my
• 3:40
  favorite
• 3:40
  pictures
• 3:41
  of
• 3:41
  him
• 3:41
  is
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  city
• 3:43
  that
• 3:43
  he
• 3:43
  was
• 3:43
  a
• 3:43
  firefighter
• 3:44
  in.
• 3:45
  They
• 3:45
  had
• 3:45
  bought
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  latest
• 3:46
  and
• 3:47
  greatest
• 3:47
  fire
• 3:47
  truck.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:49
  one
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  his
• 3:49
  proudest
• 3:50
  moments,
• 3:50
  you
• 3:51
  can
• 3:51
  tell
• 3:51
  he's
• 3:51
  actually
• 3:52
  operating
• 3:52
  the
• 3:53
  fire
• 3:53
  truck,
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  they've
• 3:54
  got
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  picture
• 3:54
  of
• 3:54
  him,
• 3:55
  and
• 3:55
  he's
• 3:56
  so
• 3:56
  visible
• 3:57
  and
• 3:57
  has
• 3:58
  such
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  big
• 3:58
  smile
• 3:59
  about
• 4:00
  operating
• 4:00
  this
• 4:00
  new
• 4:01
  fire
• 4:01
  truck.
• 4:01
  So
• 4:02
  that
• 4:02
  was
• 4:02
  cool.
• 4:02
  So
• 4:02
  it's
• 4:03
  neat
• 4:03
  to
• 4:04
  have.
• 4:04
  Have
• 4:04
  a
• 4:04
  connection
• 4:05
  and
• 4:05
  understand
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  firefighting
• 4:07
  profession.
• 4:08
  Yeah,
• 4:08
  very
• 4:08
  much.
• 4:09
  Cody,
• 4:10
  if
• 4:10
  we
• 4:10
  could
• 4:10
  just
• 4:10
  start
• 4:11
  by
• 4:12
  you
• 4:13
  giving
• 4:13
  us
• 4:13
  just
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  brief
• 4:14
  glimpse
• 4:15
  into
• 4:15
  your
• 4:15
  military
• 4:16
  background
• 4:17
  as
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  Black
• 4:18
  Hawk
• 4:18
  helicopter
• 4:19
  aviator.
• 4:20
  Absolutely.
• 4:20
  I
• 4:21
  started
• 4:21
  in
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  United
• 4:22
  States
• 4:22
  army
• 4:22
  in
• 4:22
  1997,
• 4:24
  but
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  didn't
• 4:24
  actually
• 4:24
  become
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  pilot
• 4:25
  until
• 4:26
  2004
• 4:27
  when
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  went
• 4:28
  off
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  flight
• 4:29
  school.
• 4:29
  My
• 4:30
  intended
• 4:30
  track
• 4:30
  was
• 4:30
  to
• 4:31
  be
• 4:31
  an
• 4:31
  Apache
• 4:32
  attack
• 4:32
  helicopter
• 4:33
  pilot,
• 4:33
  but
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  unit
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  was
• 4:34
  in
• 4:34
  was
• 4:34
  switching
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  Medevac,
• 4:35
  Blackhawks
• 4:36
  and
• 4:36
  Chinooks.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:37
  so
• 4:37
  I
• 4:37
  was
• 4:37
  given
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  choice.
• 4:38
  Which
• 4:38
  one
• 4:38
  would
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  like?
• 4:39
  And
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  chose
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  air
• 4:40
  ambulance
• 4:40
  mission.
• 4:41
  So
• 4:41
  that
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  my
• 4:41
  primary
• 4:42
  mission
• 4:42
  while
• 4:42
  I
• 4:43
  was
• 4:43
  in
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  military.
• 4:44
  Part
• 4:44
  of
• 4:45
  that
• 4:45
  is
• 4:45
  we
• 4:45
  do
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  lot
• 4:45
  of
• 4:45
  long
• 4:46
  lines,
• 4:46
  so
• 4:46
  we
• 4:46
  did
• 4:46
  some
• 4:47
  schedco
• 4:47
  work.
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  did
• 4:48
  do
• 4:48
  some
• 4:49
  buckets
• 4:49
  and
• 4:50
  utility
• 4:50
  work
• 4:50
  with
• 4:51
  that,
• 4:51
  but
• 4:51
  primarily
• 4:52
  just
• 4:52
  landing
• 4:52
  on
• 4:52
  seeing
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  pickup
• 4:53
  patients.
• 4:54
  Wow,
• 4:54
  fantastic.
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  think
• 4:56
  we
• 4:56
  can
• 4:57
  get
• 4:57
  a
• 4:57
  sense
• 4:57
  from
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  name
• 4:59
  of
• 4:59
  your
• 4:59
  company,
• 5:00
  Hilo
• 5:00
  Girls,
• 5:01
  and
• 5:01
  your
• 5:01
  books,
• 5:02
  we
• 5:02
  can
• 5:03
  tell
• 5:03
  what
• 5:04
  your
• 5:04
  inspiration
• 5:05
  was.
• 5:05
  But
• 5:05
  tell
• 5:06
  us
• 5:06
  about
• 5:06
  how
• 5:07
  did
• 5:07
  it
• 5:07
  all
• 5:07
  get
• 5:07
  started?
• 5:08
  Were
• 5:08
  you
• 5:09
  still
• 5:09
  in
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  military
• 5:10
  when
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  got
• 5:10
  the
• 5:11
  inspiration,
• 5:12
  or
• 5:12
  did
• 5:12
  it
• 5:12
  come
• 5:13
  after?
• 5:14
  Yeah,
• 5:14
  it
• 5:14
  came
• 5:15
  after
• 5:15
  for
• 5:15
  sure,
• 5:16
  and
• 5:16
  a
• 5:16
  coupling
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  few
• 5:17
  different
• 5:18
  things.
• 5:18
  So
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  have
• 5:19
  my
• 5:20
  daughter
• 5:20
  who's
• 5:20
  now
• 5:20
  14,
• 5:21
  but
• 5:21
  when
• 5:21
  she
• 5:22
  was
• 5:22
  young,
• 5:23
  I
• 5:23
  would
• 5:23
  try
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  find
• 5:23
  helicopter
• 5:24
  books
• 5:24
  because
• 5:24
  I
• 5:24
  wanted
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  share
• 5:25
  with
• 5:25
  her
• 5:25
  what
• 5:25
  I
• 5:26
  was
• 5:26
  doing.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:27
  by
• 5:27
  this
• 5:27
  point,
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  was
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  civilian,
• 5:29
  but
• 5:29
  still
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  aviation
• 5:30
  sector,
• 5:30
  still
• 5:30
  flying
• 5:31
  helicopters.
• 5:31
  And
• 5:32
  I
• 5:32
  wanted
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  share
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  joy
• 5:33
  of
• 5:33
  helicopters
• 5:33
  with
• 5:34
  them.
• 5:34
  She
• 5:34
  would
• 5:34
  always
• 5:35
  come
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  my
• 5:35
  work.
• 5:35
  She
• 5:36
  saw
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  helicopter,
• 5:36
  she
• 5:37
  got
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  sit
• 5:37
  in
• 5:37
  them.
• 5:38
  So
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  just
• 5:38
  really
• 5:38
  wanted
• 5:38
  to
• 5:39
  share
• 5:39
  more
• 5:39
  stories
• 5:39
  with
• 5:39
  her.
• 5:40
  And
• 5:40
  I
• 5:40
  couldn't
• 5:40
  find
• 5:41
  a
• 5:41
  lot,
• 5:42
  so
• 5:42
  I
• 5:42
  found
• 5:42
  that
• 5:42
  just
• 5:42
  a
• 5:43
  little
• 5:43
  frustrating.
• 5:44
  As
• 5:44
  time
• 5:44
  passes,
• 5:45
  I'm
• 5:45
  one
• 5:45
  of
• 5:45
  those
• 5:45
  who.
• 5:45
  My
• 5:46
  mind
• 5:46
  just
• 5:46
  continually
• 5:47
  is
• 5:47
  on
• 5:48
  full
• 5:48
  throttle
• 5:49
  all
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  time.
• 5:49
  When
• 5:49
  it
• 5:50
  does
• 5:50
  take
• 5:50
  time
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  lay
• 5:51
  down
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  go
• 5:51
  to
• 5:52
  sleep,
• 5:52
  it
• 5:52
  takes
• 5:52
  me
• 5:52
  about
• 5:53
  an
• 5:53
  hour
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  a
• 5:53
  half.
• 5:54
  Once
• 5:54
  I
• 5:54
  finally
• 5:55
  decompress
• 5:55
  and
• 5:55
  get
• 5:55
  all
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  thoughts
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  day
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  about
• 5:57
  what's
• 5:57
  going
• 5:57
  to
• 5:57
  happen
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  next
• 5:58
  day
• 5:58
  out
• 5:58
  of
• 5:58
  my
• 5:58
  head,
• 5:59
  I
• 5:59
  still
• 5:59
  just
• 6:00
  would
• 6:00
  lay
• 6:00
  there.
• 6:00
  So
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  would
• 6:00
  tell
• 6:01
  myself
• 6:01
  some
• 6:01
  stories.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:02
  that's
• 6:03
  where
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  Hilo
• 6:04
  girls
• 6:04
  started.
• 6:04
  And
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  would
• 6:05
  just
• 6:05
  tell
• 6:05
  myself
• 6:06
  these
• 6:06
  stories
• 6:06
  about
• 6:06
  these
• 6:06
  missions
• 6:07
  all
• 6:07
  these
• 6:07
  cool
• 6:07
  chicks
• 6:08
  were
• 6:08
  doing,
• 6:08
  and
• 6:09
  it
• 6:09
  would
• 6:10
  help
• 6:10
  me
• 6:10
  fall
• 6:10
  asleep.
• 6:11
  Fast
• 6:11
  forward
• 6:12
  a
• 6:12
  little
• 6:12
  bit.
• 6:12
  My
• 6:13
  son,
• 6:13
  who
• 6:13
  is
• 6:13
  now
• 6:14
  seven.
• 6:15
  But
• 6:15
  when
• 6:15
  he
• 6:15
  was
• 6:15
  born,
• 6:16
  once
• 6:16
  again,
• 6:16
  I
• 6:17
  would
• 6:17
  try
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  find
• 6:17
  helicopter
• 6:18
  books.
• 6:18
  And
• 6:18
  there
• 6:19
  were
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  lot
• 6:19
  more
• 6:19
  books.
• 6:20
  However,
• 6:20
  I
• 6:21
  just
• 6:21
  didn't
• 6:21
  find
• 6:21
  them
• 6:22
  all
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  be
• 6:22
  accurate
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  what
• 6:23
  we
• 6:23
  do
• 6:23
  in
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  mission.
• 6:24
  And
• 6:25
  they
• 6:25
  weren't
• 6:25
  safety
• 6:25
  forward
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  often
• 6:26
  didn't
• 6:27
  feature
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  female
• 6:28
  aviator.
• 6:29
  So
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  just
• 6:30
  went
• 6:30
  conversation
• 6:30
  with
• 6:31
  my
• 6:31
  husband.
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  just
• 6:32
  have
• 6:32
  this
• 6:32
  visceral
• 6:32
  pull
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  this
• 6:33
  passion
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  kind
• 6:34
  of
• 6:35
  talking
• 6:35
  with
• 6:35
  him
• 6:35
  about
• 6:35
  it.
• 6:35
  And
• 6:35
  he's.
• 6:36
  And
• 6:36
  he's
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  numbers
• 6:36
  guy,
• 6:36
  so
• 6:36
  he's
• 6:37
  like,
• 6:37
  all
• 6:37
  right,
• 6:37
  let's
• 6:37
  sit
• 6:37
  down,
• 6:37
  let's
• 6:38
  talk
• 6:38
  about
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  numbers.
• 6:39
  And
• 6:39
  we
• 6:39
  made
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  go
• 6:40
  decision.
• 6:40
  And
• 6:41
  I
• 6:41
  just
• 6:41
  reached
• 6:42
  out
• 6:42
  to
• 6:42
  a
• 6:42
  publisher
• 6:43
  and
• 6:44
  honestly,
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  first
• 6:45
  publisher
• 6:45
  that
• 6:45
  I
• 6:45
  reached
• 6:46
  out
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  I
• 6:46
  went
• 6:46
  with,
• 6:47
  and
• 6:48
  by
• 6:49
  whatever
• 6:49
  grace,
• 6:50
  they're
• 6:50
  perfect
• 6:50
  for
• 6:50
  me.
• 6:51
  I
• 6:51
  was
• 6:51
  very
• 6:52
  blessed.
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  did
• 6:52
  research
• 6:53
  before
• 6:53
  I
• 6:53
  reached
• 6:53
  out
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  anyone.
• 6:54
  So
• 6:54
  it
• 6:54
  wasn't
• 6:55
  like
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  just
• 6:55
  went
• 6:55
  completely
• 6:56
  blind,
• 6:56
  but.
• 6:57
  And
• 6:57
  it.
• 6:58
  So
• 6:58
  that's
• 6:58
  how
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  whole
• 6:58
  fruition
• 6:59
  just
• 6:59
  my
• 6:59
  frustrations
• 7:00
  about
• 7:01
  finding
• 7:01
  books
• 7:01
  for
• 7:01
  my
• 7:01
  own
• 7:02
  children
• 7:02
  again,
• 7:02
  wanting
• 7:03
  books
• 7:03
  that
• 7:03
  were
• 7:03
  accurate
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  what
• 7:04
  we
• 7:04
  do
• 7:04
  on
• 7:04
  helicopter
• 7:05
  missions.
• 7:06
  And
• 7:06
  as
• 7:06
  an
• 7:06
  aviation
• 7:07
  safety
• 7:07
  expert,
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  wanted
• 7:08
  them
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  be
• 7:08
  safety
• 7:09
  forward.
• 7:09
  And
• 7:10
  I
• 7:10
  really
• 7:10
  like
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  collaborative
• 7:11
  team
• 7:11
  effort
• 7:12
  that's
• 7:12
  behind
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  book
• 7:13
  series.
• 7:13
  And
• 7:14
  they're
• 7:14
  interactive
• 7:14
  for
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  kids
• 7:15
  as
• 7:15
  they
• 7:15
  read
• 7:15
  through
• 7:16
  them.
• 7:16
  Tell
• 7:17
  us
• 7:17
  a
• 7:17
  bit
• 7:17
  about
• 7:18
  you
• 7:19
  were
• 7:19
  in
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  medical
• 7:20
  field
• 7:21
  with
• 7:21
  your
• 7:21
  aviation.
• 7:23
  And
• 7:23
  so
• 7:23
  I'm
• 7:24
  very
• 7:24
  curious
• 7:24
  on
• 7:25
  how
• 7:25
  did
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  get
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  firefighting
• 7:27
  while
• 7:27
  in
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  military?
• 7:28
  I
• 7:28
  did
• 7:28
  do
• 7:28
  some
• 7:29
  bucket
• 7:29
  work
• 7:30
  with
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  unit
• 7:31
  I
• 7:31
  was
• 7:31
  in,
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  we
• 7:31
  did
• 7:31
  sling
• 7:32
  loads,
• 7:32
  bucket
• 7:32
  work,
• 7:32
  things
• 7:33
  like
• 7:33
  that.
• 7:34
  When
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  was
• 7:34
  in
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  civilian
• 7:35
  world,
• 7:35
  flying
• 7:36
  law
• 7:36
  enforcement,
• 7:37
  we
• 7:37
  would
• 7:37
  help
• 7:38
  the.
• 7:38
  The
• 7:39
  firefighters
• 7:39
  we
• 7:40
  would
• 7:40
  call
• 7:40
  fires.
• 7:40
  We
• 7:40
  never
• 7:41
  did
• 7:41
  any
• 7:41
  bucket
• 7:41
  work.
• 7:42
  But
• 7:42
  I
• 7:42
  think
• 7:42
  for
• 7:43
  me,
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  choice
• 7:43
  to
• 7:44
  start
• 7:44
  with
• 7:44
  a
• 7:44
  firefighting
• 7:45
  book
• 7:45
  was
• 7:46
  because
• 7:46
  I
• 7:46
  knew
• 7:46
  I
• 7:46
  wouldn't
• 7:46
  nitpick
• 7:47
  it
• 7:47
  too
• 7:48
  much.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:49
  I've
• 7:49
  come
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  second
• 7:49
  book
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  now
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  third
• 7:50
  book,
• 7:50
  which
• 7:51
  is
• 7:51
  Air
• 7:51
  Ambulance,
• 7:51
  that'll
• 7:52
  be
• 7:52
  out
• 7:52
  later
• 7:52
  this
• 7:53
  year
• 7:53
  early
• 7:53
  next
• 7:53
  year.
• 7:54
  I'm
• 7:54
  nitpicking
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  lot
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  I
• 7:57
  knew
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  would
• 7:58
  do
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  as
• 7:58
  much
• 7:59
  with
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  firefighting
• 8:00
  book.
• 8:00
  So
• 8:00
  it
• 8:00
  was
• 8:00
  really
• 8:01
  just
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  nice,
• 8:01
  more
• 8:01
  simplistic
• 8:02
  one
• 8:02
  for
• 8:03
  me
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  start
• 8:03
  out
• 8:03
  with.
• 8:04
  Still
• 8:04
  accurate
• 8:04
  to
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  mission.
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  still
• 8:05
  do.
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  still
• 8:06
  was
• 8:06
  familiar
• 8:06
  with
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  with
• 8:07
  it.
• 8:07
  I
• 8:07
  think
• 8:08
  that's
• 8:08
  why
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  started
• 8:08
  with
• 8:09
  that
• 8:09
  one.
• 8:09
  It
• 8:09
  is
• 8:09
  interesting.
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  don't
• 8:10
  know
• 8:10
  why
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  did,
• 8:11
  but
• 8:11
  it
• 8:12
  just
• 8:12
  resonated
• 8:12
  with
• 8:12
  me
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  it
• 8:13
  again,
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  visceral
• 8:14
  pull
• 8:15
  just
• 8:15
  started
• 8:15
  with
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  firefighting
• 8:16
  one.
• 8:16
  Good
• 8:17
  for
• 8:17
  you.
• 8:17
  Tell
• 8:17
  us
• 8:18
  a
• 8:18
  little
• 8:18
  bit
• 8:18
  because
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  we've
• 8:19
  introduced
• 8:20
  your
• 8:20
  second
• 8:20
  book.
• 8:21
  You've
• 8:21
  also
• 8:21
  introduced
• 8:22
  your
• 8:22
  third
• 8:23
  book
• 8:23
  coming
• 8:23
  up.
• 8:24
  But
• 8:24
  I
• 8:24
  love
• 8:25
  your
• 8:25
  branding.
• 8:26
  So
• 8:26
  Hilo
• 8:27
  Girls,
• 8:27
  tell
• 8:27
  us
• 8:28
  about
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  inspiration
• 8:29
  behind
• 8:30
  that
• 8:30
  because
• 8:31
  your
• 8:31
  third
• 8:31
  book's
• 8:31
  still
• 8:32
  going
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  be
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  Heel
• 8:32
  Girls
• 8:33
  brand.
• 8:34
  Yep.
• 8:35
  So
• 8:35
  every
• 8:35
  book
• 8:36
  will
• 8:36
  be
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  Hilo
• 8:36
  Girls.
• 8:37
  Okay.
• 8:37
  And
• 8:38
  then
• 8:38
  there's
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  subtitle.
• 8:39
  So
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  first
• 8:39
  one's
• 8:40
  the
• 8:40
  firefighting
• 8:40
  pilots.
• 8:41
  The
• 8:41
  second
• 8:42
  is
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  law
• 8:42
  enforcement
• 8:43
  pilot.
• 8:43
  The
• 8:44
  third
• 8:44
  is
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  air
• 8:45
  ambulance
• 8:45
  pilot.
• 8:45
  So
• 8:46
  all
• 8:46
  those
• 8:46
  subtitles
• 8:46
  will
• 8:47
  change,
• 8:47
  but
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  whole
• 8:47
  branding,
• 8:48
  everyone
• 8:48
  will
• 8:48
  be
• 8:49
  Helo
• 8:49
  girls.
• 8:49
  Okay.
• 8:50
  And
• 8:50
  I
• 8:51
  really
• 8:51
  have
• 8:51
  a
• 8:52
  strong
• 8:52
  connection
• 8:53
  with
• 8:53
  you
• 8:53
  because
• 8:54
  a
• 8:54
  lot
• 8:54
  of
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  children's
• 8:55
  book
• 8:55
  authors
• 8:55
  that
• 8:56
  I
• 8:56
  talk
• 8:56
  to
• 8:57
  use
• 8:58
  their
• 8:58
  own
• 8:58
  personal
• 8:59
  name
• 8:59
  as
• 9:00
  their
• 9:00
  brand.
• 9:02
  In
• 9:02
  our
• 9:02
  case,
• 9:03
  because
• 9:03
  my
• 9:04
  oldest
• 9:04
  granddaughter
• 9:05
  is
• 9:05
  the
• 9:05
  co
• 9:06
  author
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  our
• 9:06
  first
• 9:07
  book,
• 9:07
  actually,
• 9:07
  and
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  co
• 9:08
  author
• 9:08
  of
• 9:08
  our
• 9:09
  second
• 9:09
  book
• 9:10
  with
• 9:10
  our
• 9:10
  middle
• 9:11
  granddaughter.
• 9:12
  We
• 9:12
  have
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  brand.
• 9:13
  So
• 9:13
  our
• 9:13
  brand
• 9:14
  is
• 9:14
  Adventures
• 9:15
  of
• 9:15
  Caboose
• 9:15
  the
• 9:16
  Rocky
• 9:16
  Mountain
• 9:16
  Bear.
• 9:17
  And
• 9:17
  our
• 9:18
  second
• 9:18
  book
• 9:18
  is
• 9:19
  called
• 9:19
  hi

  Jinks
• 9:20
  at

  Big
• 9:20
  Head
• 9:21
  Folk
• 9:21
  Music
• 9:21
  Festival.
• 9:22
  But
• 9:22
  it's
• 9:23
  under
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  brand
• 9:24
  of
• 9:24

• 9:25
  of
• 9:25
  Caboose
• 9:25
  the
• 9:26
  Rocky
• 9:26
  Mountain
• 9:26
  Bear.
• 9:27
  That's
• 9:27
  our
• 9:27
  intention
• 9:28
  is
• 9:28
  to
• 9:29
  do
• 9:29
  very
• 9:30
  similar
• 9:30
  to

  doing.
• 9:31
  Fantastic.

  Good

  about
• 9:37
  your
• 9:37
  book
• 9:37
  business
• 9:38
  plan
• 9:38

• 9:39
  I
• 9:39
  noticed

  your

  website
• 9:40
  you
• 9:40
  have
• 9:40
  a

• 9:42
  empowering
• 9:42
  young
• 9:43
  minds
• 9:44
  one
• 9:44
  book
• 9:44
  at
• 9:45
  a

  time.
• 9:45
  I
• 9:46
  just
• 9:46
  love
• 9:46
  that
• 9:47
  one
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  first
• 9:47
  things
• 9:48
  they
• 9:48
  say
• 9:48
  in
• 9:48
  branding
• 9:49
  is
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  need
• 9:50
  a

  So

  about
• 9:53
  your

• 9:58
  Yeah,
• 9:58
  I'm
• 9:58
  in
• 9:59
  the
• 9:59
  industry.
• 9:59
  I've
• 9:59
  been
• 9:59
  in
• 9:59
  this
• 10:00
  industry
• 10:00
  for
• 10:00
  20
• 10:00
  years.
• 10:01
  I
• 10:01
  go
• 10:01
  to
• 10:02
  numerous
• 10:02
  events
• 10:02
  based
• 10:03
  off

  of

  there's
• 10:06
  always
• 10:06
  been
• 10:07
  a
• 10:07
  shortage
• 10:07
  of
• 10:07
  pilots
• 10:08
  and
• 10:08
  a
• 10:08
  shortage
• 10:08
  of
• 10:09
  maintainers
• 10:09
  and
• 10:10
  things
• 10:10
  like
• 10:10
  that.
• 10:11
  And
• 10:11
  all
• 10:11
  these
• 10:11
  industry
• 10:12
  organizations
• 10:13
  reach
• 10:13
  out
• 10:13
  to
• 10:13
  kids
• 10:13
  in
• 10:14
  colleges
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  high
• 10:15
  schools.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:15
  that's
• 10:15
  absolutely
• 10:16
  wonderful.
• 10:16
  And
• 10:17
  I'm
• 10:17
  so
• 10:17
  glad
• 10:17
  that
• 10:17
  they
• 10:18
  do.
• 10:19
  But
• 10:19
  if
• 10:19
  you
• 10:19
  really
• 10:19
  want.
• 10:19
  I
• 10:20
  look
• 10:20
  at
• 10:20
  my
• 10:20
  son
• 10:20
  who
• 10:21
  is
• 10:21
  all
• 10:21
  in
• 10:21
  on
• 10:22
  aviation.
• 10:23
  He
• 10:23
  knows
• 10:24
  he
• 10:24
  wants
• 10:24
  to
• 10:24
  be
• 10:24
  a
• 10:24
  pilot.
• 10:25
  He
• 10:25
  just
• 10:25
  absolutely
• 10:26
  loves
• 10:26
  it.
• 10:26
  He
• 10:27
  breathes
• 10:27
  it
• 10:27
  every
• 10:28
  day.
• 10:28
  Like
• 10:28
  he's
• 10:28
  building
• 10:28
  aircraft
• 10:29
  carriers
• 10:29
  in
• 10:29
  our
• 10:30
  living
• 10:30
  room.
• 10:30
  He's
• 10:30
  flying
• 10:31
  jets
• 10:31
  around.
• 10:31
  It's
• 10:32
  almost
• 10:33
  every
• 10:33
  day.
• 10:33
  If
• 10:34
  you
• 10:34
  plant
• 10:34
  that
• 10:35
  seed
• 10:35
  early
• 10:35
  with
• 10:36
  kids,
• 10:36
  chances
• 10:37
  are
• 10:37
  you're
• 10:37
  going
• 10:37
  to
• 10:37
  have
• 10:38
  a
• 10:38
  lover
• 10:38
  of
• 10:38
  the
• 10:38
  industry
• 10:39
  forever.
• 10:40
  Right.
• 10:40
  No
• 10:41
  matter
• 10:41
  what
• 10:41
  industry
• 10:41
  it
• 10:41
  is,
• 10:42
  I
• 10:42
  think
• 10:42
  if
• 10:42
  it
• 10:42
  has
• 10:43
  trains
• 10:43
  or
• 10:44
  cooking
• 10:44
  or
• 10:44
  whatever,
• 10:45
  plant
• 10:45
  that
• 10:45
  seed
• 10:46
  and
• 10:46
  then
• 10:46
  see
• 10:46
  what
• 10:46
  they
• 10:47
  latch
• 10:47
  onto
• 10:47
  so
• 10:48
  you
• 10:48
  can
• 10:48
  help
• 10:48
  nurture
• 10:48
  them.
• 10:49
  Right.
• 10:49
  I
• 10:49
  want
• 10:50
  to
• 10:50
  empower
• 10:50
  their
• 10:51
  minds
• 10:51
  with
• 10:52
  what
• 10:52
  they
• 10:52
  like.
• 10:53
  So
• 10:53
  that's
• 10:53
  where
• 10:53
  the
• 10:54
  empowerment
• 10:54
  piece
• 10:55
  came
• 10:55
  specifically
• 10:56
  for
• 10:56
  me
• 10:56
  again.
• 10:57
  Helicopters,
• 10:58
  aviation.
• 10:59
  So
• 10:59
  that
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  want
• 10:59
  to
• 10:59
  empower
• 11:00
  that
• 11:00
  industry.
• 11:00
  And
• 11:01
  yeah,
• 11:01
  going
• 11:01
  one
• 11:02
  book
• 11:02
  at
• 11:03
  a
• 11:03
  time,
• 11:03
  that's
• 11:03
  where
• 11:03
  that
• 11:04
  kind
• 11:05
  of
• 11:05
  culminated
• 11:05
  together.
• 11:06
  That's
• 11:06
  fantastic.
• 11:07
  Because
• 11:07
  you
• 11:07
  know
• 11:07
  what,
• 11:08
  it's
• 11:08
  interesting.
• 11:09
  Myself
• 11:10
  and
• 11:11
  it
• 11:11
  was
• 11:11
  my
• 11:12
  oldest
• 11:13
  granddaughter,
• 11:14
  we
• 11:14
  did
• 11:14
  all
• 11:14
  these
• 11:14
  adventures
• 11:15
  in
• 11:15
  the
• 11:15
  Rocky
• 11:16
  Mountains.
• 11:16
  We
• 11:16
  did
• 11:17
  tens
• 11:18
  and
• 11:18
  tens
• 11:18
  of
• 11:18
  these
• 11:18
  adventures.
• 11:19
  And
• 11:20
  eventually
• 11:20
  it
• 11:20
  was
• 11:20
  her
• 11:21
  young
• 11:22
  mind
• 11:22
  that
• 11:23
  said,
• 11:23
  papa,
• 11:24
  we
• 11:24
  gotta
• 11:24
  stop
• 11:25
  taking
• 11:26
  just
• 11:26
  pictures.
• 11:27
  We
• 11:27
  need
• 11:27
  to
• 11:28
  take
• 11:28
  these
• 11:28
  pictures
• 11:29
  and
• 11:29
  create
• 11:29
  a
• 11:29
  children's
• 11:30
  book.
• 11:31
  That
• 11:32
  ended
• 11:32
  up
• 11:32
  starting
• 11:33
  our
• 11:33
  first
• 11:34
  book,
• 11:34
  which
• 11:34
  has
• 11:35
  led
• 11:35
  to
• 11:36
  38
• 11:36
  books
• 11:37
  that
• 11:37
  we've
• 11:38
  written.
• 11:38
  That's
• 11:39
  awesome.
• 11:39
  We
• 11:39
  don't
• 11:39
  have
• 11:40
  all
• 11:40
  in
• 11:40
  print
• 11:40
  yet.
• 11:41
  Unless
• 11:41
  I
• 11:42
  become
• 11:42
  a
• 11:42
  multimillionaire,
• 11:43
  it's
• 11:44
  going
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  take
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  while.
• 11:44
  But
• 11:45
  our
• 11:45
  whole
• 11:46
  idea
• 11:46
  is
• 11:46
  eventually
• 11:47
  to
• 11:48
  bring
• 11:48
  them
• 11:48
  all
• 11:48
  to
• 11:48
  life.
• 11:49
  Right
• 11:49
  now
• 11:49
  I've
• 11:50
  got
• 11:50
  my
• 11:50
  other
• 11:51
  four
• 11:51
  grandchildren
• 11:52
  involved
• 11:52
  and
• 11:52
  we're
• 11:53
  actually
• 11:53
  doing
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  audiobooks
• 11:56
  before
• 11:56
  we
• 11:57
  actually
• 11:57
  are
• 11:58
  bringing
• 11:58
  the
• 11:58
  print
• 11:59
  book
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  market.
• 11:59
  So
• 12:00
  it's
• 12:00
  fun.
• 12:00
  They're
• 12:01
  engaged
• 12:01
  and
• 12:02
  they,
• 12:02
  like.
• 12:02
  I've
• 12:03
  got
• 12:03
  a
• 12:03
  couple
• 12:03
  of
• 12:03
  microphones
• 12:04
  set
• 12:04
  up
• 12:04
  and
• 12:04
  they
• 12:05
  could
• 12:05
  come
• 12:05
  over
• 12:05
  and
• 12:06
  they
• 12:06
  read
• 12:06
  the
• 12:06
  books.
• 12:07
  We
• 12:07
  put
• 12:07
  on
• 12:07
  a
• 12:07
  teleprompter
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  they.
• 12:09
  And
• 12:09
  it's
• 12:09
  just.
• 12:09
  It's
• 12:10
  fun.
• 12:10
  It's
• 12:10
  a
• 12:10
  lot
• 12:10
  of
• 12:11
  fun.
• 12:11
  Yeah.
• 12:11
  But
• 12:11
  back
• 12:12
  empowerment
• 12:12
  piece.
• 12:13
  You're
• 12:13
  teaching
• 12:13
  them
• 12:13
  a
• 12:14
  skill,
• 12:14
  right?
• 12:15
  You're
• 12:15
  teaching
• 12:15
  them
• 12:15
  marketing,
• 12:16
  you're
• 12:16
  teaching
• 12:16
  them
• 12:16
  technology,
• 12:17
  you're
• 12:17
  teaching
• 12:18
  them
• 12:18
  one.
• 12:19
  Not
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  be
• 12:19
  shy.
• 12:20
  Put
• 12:20
  yourself
• 12:20
  out
• 12:21
  there.
• 12:21
  These
• 12:21
  are
• 12:21
  valuable
• 12:22
  skills
• 12:22
  they'll
• 12:22
  take
• 12:22
  for
• 12:23
  their
• 12:23
  whole
• 12:23
  life.
• 12:23
  For
• 12:24
  sure.
• 12:24
  I
• 12:24
  couldn't
• 12:25
  agree
• 12:25
  with
• 12:25
  them
• 12:25
  or
• 12:25
  Cody.
• 12:26
  And
• 12:26
  my
• 12:26
  middle
• 12:26
  granddaughter
• 12:27
  said,
• 12:28
  I
• 12:28
  use
• 12:28
  her
• 12:29
  voice
• 12:30
  as
• 12:30
  introducing
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  Adventures
• 12:32
  in
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  Heart
• 12:33
  of
• 12:33
  Children's
• 12:33
  Book
• 12:33
  Authors
• 12:34
  podcast.
• 12:34
  When
• 12:35
  you
• 12:35
  listen
• 12:35
  to
• 12:35
  the
• 12:35
  intro
• 12:36
  music
• 12:36
  and
• 12:36
  then
• 12:36
  a
• 12:37
  voice
• 12:37
  comes
• 12:37
  on,
• 12:38
  that's
• 12:38
  her
• 12:38
  voice.
• 12:39
  And
• 12:39
  now
• 12:39
  she's
• 12:40
  gotten
• 12:40
  accustomed
• 12:41
  to
• 12:41
  doing
• 12:41
  this.
• 12:42
  And
• 12:42
  she
• 12:42
  said
• 12:42
  to
• 12:42
  me,
• 12:43
  can
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  interview
• 12:44
  you?
• 12:45
  So
• 12:45
  she
• 12:45
  wants
• 12:46
  to
• 12:46
  interview
• 12:46
  Me
• 12:47
  like
• 12:47
  I'm
• 12:47
  interviewing
• 12:48
  other
• 12:48
  people.
• 12:49
  Yeah.
• 12:49
  So
• 12:49
  we're
• 12:49
  going
• 12:49
  to
• 12:49
  do
• 12:50
  that
• 12:50
  pretty
• 12:50
  soon.
• 12:51
  So
• 12:51
  you
• 12:51
  can
• 12:51
  have
• 12:51
  her
• 12:51
  pop
• 12:52
  in
• 12:52
  and
• 12:52
  do
• 12:52
  cameos
• 12:53
  as
• 12:53
  well.
• 12:53
  Like
• 12:53
  her
• 12:53
  face
• 12:53
  would
• 12:54
  pop
• 12:54
  in
• 12:54
  on
• 12:54
  us
• 12:54
  right
• 12:54
  now
• 12:55
  and
• 12:55
  she
• 12:55
  could
• 12:55
  be
• 12:55
  like,
• 12:55
  hey
• 12:55
  Cody,
• 12:56
  you
• 12:56
  gotta
• 12:57
  please.
• 12:58
  The
• 12:58
  one
• 12:59
  thing
• 12:59
  I
• 12:59
  noticed
• 12:59
  too,
• 13:00
  and
• 13:00
  I
• 13:00
  just
• 13:00
  love
• 13:01
  it,
• 13:01
  Cody,
• 13:01
  because
• 13:01
  I'm
• 13:02
  get
• 13:02
  I
• 13:02
  getting
• 13:02
  a
• 13:03
  strong
• 13:03
  sense
• 13:03
  about
• 13:04
  you
• 13:04
  already.
• 13:05
  And
• 13:06
  one
• 13:06
  thing
• 13:06
  I
• 13:07
  loved
• 13:07
  at
• 13:07
  the
• 13:07
  back
• 13:07
  of
• 13:08
  your
• 13:08
  book,
• 13:08
  you
• 13:08
  talk
• 13:08
  about
• 13:09
  the
• 13:09
  mission
• 13:10
  and
• 13:11
  so
• 13:11
  I
• 13:12
  thought
• 13:12
  that
• 13:12
  was
• 13:12
  cool
• 13:13
  how
• 13:13
  you
• 13:13
  bring
• 13:14
  it
• 13:14
  all.
• 13:14
  I
• 13:14
  think
• 13:14
  it
• 13:15
  was
• 13:15
  right
• 13:15
  at
• 13:15
  the
• 13:15
  back
• 13:15
  of
• 13:15
  the
• 13:15
  book.
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  mean
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  definitely
• 13:16
  talk
• 13:16
  about
• 13:17
  mission
• 13:17
  a
• 13:17
  few
• 13:17
  times.
• 13:17
  Tell
• 13:18
  us
• 13:18
  a
• 13:18
  little
• 13:18
  bit
• 13:18
  about
• 13:19
  that
• 13:19
  too
• 13:19
  because
• 13:19
  I
• 13:20
  love
• 13:20
  that
• 13:20
  piece.
• 13:20
  How
• 13:21
  you
• 13:21
  wrapped
• 13:21
  up
• 13:22
  the
• 13:22
  book
• 13:22
  and
• 13:22
  you
• 13:22
  went
• 13:23
  through
• 13:23
  a
• 13:23
  checklist
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  talked
• 13:25
  about
• 13:25
  the
• 13:25
  mission.
• 13:26
  So
• 13:26
  again,
• 13:26
  being
• 13:27
  safety
• 13:27
  forward
• 13:28
  in
• 13:28
  aviation,
• 13:29
  before
• 13:29
  we
• 13:30
  go
• 13:30
  do
• 13:30
  a
• 13:30
  mission,
• 13:31
  we
• 13:31
  should
• 13:31
  do
• 13:31
  some
• 13:31
  sort
• 13:31
  of
• 13:32
  pre
• 13:32
  flights,
• 13:33
  right.
• 13:33
  So
• 13:33
  they
• 13:33
  pre
• 13:33
  flight
• 13:34
  the
• 13:34
  aircraft
• 13:35
  and
• 13:35
  then
• 13:35
  they
• 13:35
  go
• 13:35
  do
• 13:36
  a
• 13:36
  crew
• 13:36
  brief.
• 13:36
  Right.
• 13:36
  And
• 13:37
  then
• 13:37
  I
• 13:37
  wanted
• 13:37
  to
• 13:37
  bring
• 13:37
  in.
• 13:38
  Granted
• 13:38
  we
• 13:38
  don't
• 13:38
  always
• 13:39
  have
• 13:39
  air
• 13:39
  traffic
• 13:39
  control
• 13:39
  in
• 13:40
  the
• 13:40
  room,
• 13:40
  but
• 13:40
  it
• 13:40
  is
• 13:40
  something
• 13:40
  that
• 13:41
  we
• 13:41
  discuss.
• 13:42
  I
• 13:42
  wanted
• 13:42
  the
• 13:43
  young
• 13:43
  readers
• 13:43
  to
• 13:43
  realize
• 13:44
  before
• 13:44
  we
• 13:44
  go
• 13:45
  on
• 13:45
  these
• 13:45
  big
• 13:45
  missions
• 13:46
  or
• 13:46
  even
• 13:46
  small
• 13:47
  missions,
• 13:47
  we
• 13:48
  should
• 13:48
  take
• 13:48
  a
• 13:48
  step
• 13:48
  back
• 13:49
  for
• 13:49
  a
• 13:49
  second
• 13:49
  and
• 13:49
  go
• 13:50
  through
• 13:50
  a
• 13:50
  checklist
• 13:50
  whether
• 13:51
  whatever
• 13:52
  it
• 13:52
  might
• 13:52
  be,
• 13:52
  the
• 13:52
  FAA
• 13:53
  has
• 13:53
  an
• 13:53
  acronym
• 13:54
  called
• 13:54
  pave.
• 13:55
  So
• 13:55
  that's
• 13:55
  why
• 13:55
  I
• 13:56
  use
• 13:56
  that
• 13:56
  in
• 13:56
  the
• 13:56
  book.
• 13:56
  The
• 13:57
  pilot
• 13:57
  aircraft
• 13:57
  environment
• 13:58
  and
• 13:58
  external
• 13:59
  pressures.
• 14:00
  And
• 14:00
  I
• 14:00
  want
• 14:00
  the
• 14:00
  children
• 14:00
  to
• 14:01
  think
• 14:01
  about
• 14:01
  those
• 14:01
  things
• 14:02
  not
• 14:02
  just
• 14:03
  in
• 14:03
  aviation,
• 14:03
  but
• 14:03
  they
• 14:03
  can
• 14:04
  apply
• 14:04
  to
• 14:04
  their
• 14:04
  everything
• 14:04
  they
• 14:05
  do
• 14:05
  during
• 14:05
  the
• 14:05
  day.
• 14:05
  Getting
• 14:06
  on
• 14:06
  my
• 14:06
  scooter
• 14:07
  let
• 14:07
  me
• 14:07
  think
• 14:07
  I'm
• 14:07
  the
• 14:08
  pilot.
• 14:08
  Do
• 14:08
  I
• 14:08
  have
• 14:08
  my
• 14:08
  helmet?
• 14:09
  Is
• 14:09
  it
• 14:10
  rainy
• 14:10
  outside?
• 14:10
  Is
• 14:10
  there.
• 14:11
  Are
• 14:11
  there
• 14:11
  rocks
• 14:11
  that
• 14:12
  I
• 14:12
  could.
• 14:12
  Whatever
• 14:12
  it
• 14:12
  might
• 14:13
  be.
• 14:13
  But
• 14:13
  I
• 14:13
  want
• 14:13
  kids
• 14:14
  to
• 14:14
  think
• 14:14
  about
• 14:14
  that
• 14:14
  because
• 14:14
  I
• 14:15
  challenge
• 14:15
  my
• 14:15
  own
• 14:15
  children
• 14:16
  in
• 14:16
  that
• 14:16
  manner.
• 14:17
  And
• 14:17
  then
• 14:17
  as
• 14:18
  they
• 14:18
  go
• 14:18
  out
• 14:18
  in
• 14:18
  the
• 14:18
  they
• 14:19
  fly
• 14:19
  this
• 14:19
  mission,
• 14:19
  I
• 14:20
  want
• 14:20
  the
• 14:20
  reader
• 14:20
  who
• 14:21
  I
• 14:21
  refer
• 14:21
  to
• 14:21
  as
• 14:21
  the
• 14:21
  observer
• 14:22
  in
• 14:22
  the
• 14:22
  books
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  realize
• 14:23
  that
• 14:23
  they're
• 14:24
  part
• 14:24
  of
• 14:24
  that
• 14:24
  team.
• 14:25
  And
• 14:25
  that's
• 14:25
  super
• 14:26
  important
• 14:26
  to
• 14:26
  me,
• 14:26
  especially
• 14:27
  as
• 14:27
  a
• 14:27
  pilot.
• 14:28
  I
• 14:28
  am
• 14:28
  nothing
• 14:29
  without
• 14:30
  a
• 14:30
  fueler
• 14:30
  putting
• 14:31
  fuel
• 14:31
  in
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  aircraft,
• 14:32
  a
• 14:32
  maintainer
• 14:32
  who's
• 14:32
  keeping
• 14:33
  that
• 14:33
  aircraft
• 14:33
  up
• 14:33
  to
• 14:34
  industry
• 14:34
  standards
• 14:34
  to
• 14:35
  make
• 14:35
  sure
• 14:35
  I'm
• 14:35
  saving,
• 14:35
  able
• 14:36
  to
• 14:36
  get
• 14:36
  home
• 14:37
  air
• 14:37
  traffic
• 14:37
  control
• 14:37
  to
• 14:38
  help
• 14:38
  navigate
• 14:38
  me
• 14:39
  safely
• 14:39
  if
• 14:39
  I
• 14:39
  need
• 14:39
  assistance
• 14:40
  and
• 14:40
  stuff
• 14:40
  like
• 14:40
  that.
• 14:40
  So
• 14:41
  it
• 14:41
  takes
• 14:41
  a
• 14:42
  lot
• 14:42
  for
• 14:43
  us
• 14:43
  to
• 14:43
  do
• 14:43
  our
• 14:43
  mission
• 14:43
  safely.
• 14:44
  I'm
• 14:44
  not
• 14:44
  just
• 14:44
  out
• 14:45
  there
• 14:45
  by
• 14:46
  myself
• 14:46
  at
• 14:46
  all.
• 14:47
  And
• 14:47
  then
• 14:47
  after
• 14:47
  we
• 14:47
  do
• 14:48
  these
• 14:48
  missions,
• 14:48
  we
• 14:48
  need
• 14:48
  to
• 14:49
  come
• 14:49
  back,
• 14:49
  right.
• 14:49
  And
• 14:50
  we
• 14:50
  need
• 14:50
  to
• 14:50
  recalibrate
• 14:51
  and
• 14:51
  say,
• 14:51
  hey,
• 14:52
  did
• 14:52
  Everything
• 14:52
  go
• 14:52
  as
• 14:53
  we
• 14:53
  planned
• 14:53
  and
• 14:53
  if
• 14:53
  it
• 14:54
  didn't,
• 14:54
  fine,
• 14:54
  we
• 14:54
  adjust
• 14:55
  and
• 14:55
  we
• 14:55
  get
• 14:55
  better
• 14:55
  for
• 14:56
  the
• 14:56
  next
• 14:56
  one.
• 14:56
  So
• 14:56
  that's
• 14:57
  why
• 14:57
  when
• 14:57
  they
• 14:57
  come
• 14:57
  back,
• 14:57
  they
• 14:57
  do
• 14:58
  a
• 14:58
  little
• 14:58
  checklist
• 14:58
  that
• 14:58
  they
• 14:58
  go
• 14:59
  through
• 14:59
  with.
• 14:59
  Did
• 14:59
  everything
• 15:00
  go
• 15:00
  accordingly?
• 15:01
  What
• 15:01
  did
• 15:01
  we
• 15:01
  see?
• 15:02
  And
• 15:02
  I
• 15:03
  wanted
• 15:03
  that
• 15:03
  for
• 15:03
  correlation
• 15:04
  for
• 15:04
  children
• 15:04
  too,
• 15:04
  because
• 15:05
  I
• 15:05
  normally
• 15:05
  do
• 15:05
  that
• 15:06
  with
• 15:06
  my
• 15:06
  own
• 15:06
  children
• 15:07
  when
• 15:07
  I
• 15:07
  would
• 15:07
  read
• 15:07
  books
• 15:08
  with
• 15:08
  them.
• 15:08
  Hey,
• 15:08
  what
• 15:09
  did
• 15:09
  we
• 15:09
  just
• 15:09
  read?
• 15:09
  What
• 15:10
  was
• 15:10
  your
• 15:10
  favorite
• 15:10
  part?
• 15:11
  Hey,
• 15:11
  what
• 15:11
  happened
• 15:12
  in
• 15:12
  that
• 15:12
  page?
• 15:12
  Remember,
• 15:13
  they
• 15:13
  had
• 15:13
  some
• 15:13
  issue
• 15:13
  or
• 15:13
  whatever.
• 15:14
  It
• 15:14
  was
• 15:14
  just
• 15:14
  for
• 15:14
  correlation.
• 15:15
  So
• 15:15
  doing
• 15:16
  that
• 15:16
  here
• 15:16
  and
• 15:16
  then
• 15:16
  the
• 15:16
  very
• 15:16
  end
• 15:17
  of
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  book
• 15:17
  is,
• 15:17
  hey,
• 15:18
  thanks
• 15:18
  for
• 15:18
  being
• 15:18
  with
• 15:18
  us
• 15:19
  today
• 15:19
  and
• 15:19
  we
• 15:19
  look
• 15:20
  forward
• 15:20
  to
• 15:20
  the
• 15:20
  next
• 15:20
  mission
• 15:21
  together.
• 15:21
  And
• 15:21
  that
• 15:21
  will
• 15:22
  lead
• 15:22
  them
• 15:22
  into
• 15:23
  the
• 15:23
  next
• 15:23
  book.
• 15:25
  Good
• 15:25
  for
• 15:25
  you.
• 15:26
  I
• 15:26
  noticed
• 15:26
  I
• 15:27
  was
• 15:27
  looking
• 15:27
  at
• 15:27
  your
• 15:27
  website.
• 15:28
  I
• 15:28
  actually
• 15:28
  have
• 15:29
  it
• 15:29
  up
• 15:29
  on
• 15:29
  my
• 15:29
  iPad
• 15:30
  here.
• 15:30
  But
• 15:30
  I
• 15:30
  noticed
• 15:31
  you
• 15:32
  are
• 15:32
  very
• 15:33
  active
• 15:33
  on
• 15:34
  your
• 15:34
  events
• 15:34
  page.
• 15:35
  No,
• 15:36
  I've
• 15:36
  got
• 15:36
  to
• 15:37
  tell
• 15:37
  you,
• 15:37
  Cody,
• 15:37
  I
• 15:38
  have
• 15:38
  seen
• 15:38
  events
• 15:39
  pages
• 15:40
  and
• 15:41
  most
• 15:41
  of
• 15:41
  the
• 15:41
  time
• 15:42
  there
• 15:42
  might
• 15:42
  be
• 15:42
  one
• 15:43
  or
• 15:43
  two
• 15:45
  if
• 15:45
  there
• 15:45
  is
• 15:45
  any
• 15:46
  at
• 15:46
  all.
• 15:46
  And
• 15:46
  I
• 15:47
  thought,
• 15:47
  wow,
• 15:48
  Cody
• 15:49
  is
• 15:49
  a
• 15:49
  busy
• 15:50
  lady.
• 15:51
  And
• 15:51
  so
• 15:52
  tell
• 15:52
  us
• 15:52
  about
• 15:53
  why
• 15:54
  you're
• 15:54
  so
• 15:54
  active
• 15:55
  with
• 15:55
  events,
• 15:56
  including
• 15:58
  how
• 15:58
  you're
• 15:59
  using
• 15:59
  them
• 15:59
  to
• 15:59
  promote
• 16:00
  your
• 16:00
  book
• 16:00
  and
• 16:01
  are
• 16:01
  they
• 16:01
  a
• 16:02
  good
• 16:02
  source
• 16:02
  of
• 16:03
  revenue
• 16:03
  for
• 16:04
  your
• 16:04
  book?
• 16:05
  If
• 16:05
  you
• 16:06
  want
• 16:06
  something,
• 16:06
  just
• 16:07
  ask
• 16:07
  for
• 16:07
  it
• 16:08
  and
• 16:08
  if
• 16:09
  they
• 16:09
  tell
• 16:09
  you
• 16:09
  no,
• 16:09
  then
• 16:10
  you're
• 16:10
  in
• 16:10
  the
• 16:10
  same
• 16:10
  place
• 16:10
  you
• 16:10
  are.
• 16:11
  So
• 16:11
  I
• 16:11
  have
• 16:11
  no
• 16:12
  fear
• 16:12
  of
• 16:12
  reaching
• 16:13
  out
• 16:13
  to
• 16:14
  whomever
• 16:14
  I
• 16:14
  desire
• 16:15
  for
• 16:15
  whatever
• 16:15
  I'm
• 16:16
  thinking.
• 16:16
  My
• 16:17
  crazy
• 16:17
  brain
• 16:18
  and
• 16:18
  a
• 16:18
  lot
• 16:18
  of
• 16:18
  stuff

  other

  types
• 16:52
  of
• 16:52
  organizations.
• 16:53
  There

  always
• 16:54
  seems
• 16:54
  to
• 16:54
  be

  myself
• 16:58
  available
• 16:59
  for
• 17:00
  those
• 17:00
  things.
• 17:00
  I
• 17:01
  just
• 17:01
  want
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  point
• 17:01
  out
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  the
• 17:02
  listening
• 17:02
  audience
• 17:03
  that's
• 17:03
  an
• 17:03
  important
• 17:04
  thing
• 17:04
  to
• 17:04
  realize
• 17:05
  that
• 17:06
  generally
• 17:07
  your
• 17:07
  books
• 17:08
  have
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  theme
• 17:09
  and
• 17:09
  so
• 17:10
  you
• 17:10
  need
• 17:10
  to
• 17:10
  think
• 17:11
  outside
• 17:11
  the
• 17:11
  store
• 17:12
  box
• 17:12
  right
• 17:13
  outside
• 17:13
  the
• 17:13
  store,
• 17:14
  whether
• 17:14
  it's
• 17:15
  like
• 17:15
  a
• 17:15
  bookstore
• 17:16
  and
• 17:16
  think
• 17:16
  about
• 17:17
  where
• 17:17
  else
• 17:18
  could
• 17:18
  it
• 17:18
  make
• 17:19
  sense
• 17:19
  to
• 17:20
  sell
• 17:21
  and
• 17:21
  market
• 17:21
  my
• 17:21
  book.
• 17:22
  So
• 17:22
  thank
• 17:22
  you
• 17:23
  for
• 17:23
  sharing
• 17:23
  that.
• 17:23
  Because
• 17:24
  that's
• 17:24
  important
• 17:24
  for
• 17:25
  people
• 17:25
  to
• 17:25
  think.
• 17:25
  About
• 17:26
  that
• 17:26
  and
• 17:27
  at
• 17:27
  least
• 17:27
  for
• 17:27
  me,
• 17:28
  because
• 17:28
  I'm
• 17:28
  also.
• 17:29
  I
• 17:29
  work
• 17:29
  in
• 17:29
  this
• 17:30
  industry.
• 17:30
  I
• 17:30
  think
• 17:30
  I'm
• 17:31
  a
• 17:31
  little
• 17:31
  bit
• 17:31
  more
• 17:31
  creative
• 17:32
  with
• 17:32
  that
• 17:33
  than
• 17:33
  some
• 17:33
  might
• 17:33
  be.
• 17:34
  But
• 17:34
  I
• 17:34
  will
• 17:34
  say
• 17:35
  the
• 17:35
  work
• 17:35
  of
• 17:36
  making
• 17:36
  a
• 17:36
  book
• 17:36
  is
• 17:36
  actually
• 17:37
  quite
• 17:37
  easy.
• 17:37
  It's
• 17:38
  everything
• 17:38
  that
• 17:38
  comes
• 17:38
  after
• 17:39
  that
• 17:39
  book
• 17:39
  is
• 17:39
  published
• 17:40
  that
• 17:40
  takes
• 17:40
  the
• 17:41
  real
• 17:41
  work.
• 17:41
  And
• 17:42
  I'm
• 17:42
  glad
• 17:42
  you
• 17:42
  said
• 17:42
  that,
• 17:43
  Cody,
• 17:43
  because
• 17:43
  that's
• 17:44
  one
• 17:44
  thing.
• 17:44
  I've
• 17:45
  interviewed
• 17:45
  so
• 17:45
  many
• 17:46
  children's
• 17:46
  book
• 17:47
  authors
• 17:47
  now,
• 17:47
  and
• 17:47
  one
• 17:47
  thing
• 17:48
  I
• 17:48
  realize
• 17:49
  is
• 17:49
  that
• 17:50
  once
• 17:50
  you
• 17:51
  have
• 17:51
  a
• 17:51
  finished
• 17:52
  book,
• 17:52
  it's
• 17:53
  just
• 17:53
  the
• 17:53
  beginning,
• 17:54
  not
• 17:54
  the
• 17:54
  end.
• 17:55
  Because
• 17:56
  people
• 17:56
  end
• 17:57
  up
• 17:57
  wondering,
• 17:58
  what
• 17:58
  do
• 17:58
  I
• 17:59
  do
• 17:59
  for
• 17:59
  distribution?
• 18:00
  What
• 18:00
  do
• 18:00
  I
• 18:01
  do
• 18:01
  for
• 18:01
  sales?
• 18:01
  What
• 18:02
  do
• 18:02
  I
• 18:02
  do
• 18:02
  for
• 18:02
  marketing?
• 18:03
  All
• 18:04
  drive
• 18:04
  itself.
• 18:05
  Oh,
• 18:06
  and
• 18:06
  it's
• 18:07
  just
• 18:07
  amazing.
• 18:08
  And
• 18:08
  so
• 18:08
  that's
• 18:08
  what
• 18:08
  I
• 18:09
  was
• 18:09
  asking
• 18:09
  you
• 18:10
  about,
• 18:10
  because
• 18:11
  I'm
• 18:11
  trying
• 18:11
  to
• 18:11
  give
• 18:11
  people
• 18:12
  insights
• 18:12
  into
• 18:13
  where
• 18:13
  to
• 18:13
  go
• 18:14
  to
• 18:14
  not
• 18:14
  only
• 18:14
  promote
• 18:15
  their
• 18:15
  book,
• 18:15
  but
• 18:15
  to
• 18:16
  actually
• 18:16
  generate
• 18:17
  sales
• 18:18
  to
• 18:18
  pay
• 18:18
  for
• 18:18
  their
• 18:19
  investment
• 18:19
  into
• 18:19
  their
• 18:20
  children's
• 18:21
  book
• 18:21
  business.
• 18:21
  When
• 18:21
  you
• 18:22
  do
• 18:22
  these
• 18:22
  Barnes
• 18:23
  and
• 18:23
  Noble
• 18:23
  events
• 18:23
  or
• 18:24
  any
• 18:24
  children's
• 18:24
  book
• 18:25
  reading
• 18:25
  events,
• 18:26
  how
• 18:27
  do
• 18:27
  you
• 18:27
  go
• 18:27
  about
• 18:29
  selling
• 18:29
  books
• 18:31
  at
• 18:31
  those
• 18:31
  events?
• 18:32
  Yeah,
• 18:33
  so
• 18:33
  when
• 18:33
  I'm
• 18:33
  at
• 18:33
  a
• 18:34
  specific
• 18:34
  event,
• 18:34
  and
• 18:34
  it
• 18:35
  really
• 18:35
  depends
• 18:35
  on
• 18:35
  the
• 18:35
  type
• 18:36
  of
• 18:36
  the
• 18:36
  event,
• 18:36
  sometimes
• 18:37
  I'll
• 18:37
  have
• 18:38
  the
• 18:38
  organizer
• 18:39
  of
• 18:39
  the
• 18:39
  event
• 18:39
  will
• 18:40
  purchase
• 18:40
  books
• 18:40
  beforehand
• 18:41
  and
• 18:41
  they'll
• 18:41
  distribute.
• 18:42
  I'll
• 18:42
  sign
• 18:43
  and
• 18:43
  distribute
• 18:43
  them
• 18:44
  to
• 18:44
  their
• 18:44
  guests.
• 18:45
  So
• 18:46
  that's.
• 18:46
  That
• 18:46
  story
• 18:47
  is
• 18:47
  nice.
• 18:47
  It's
• 18:47
  already
• 18:47
  organized
• 18:48
  ahead
• 18:48
  of
• 18:48
  time.
• 18:49
  Usually
• 18:49
  if
• 18:50
  it's
• 18:50
  on
• 18:50
  site
• 18:50
  sales,
• 18:50
  I
• 18:51
  use
• 18:51
  square.
• 18:52
  So
• 18:52
  I
• 18:52
  only
• 18:52
  take
• 18:53
  card
• 18:53
  and
• 18:53
  I
• 18:53
  just
• 18:54
  use
• 18:54
  that
• 18:54
  on
• 18:54
  my.
• 18:54
  It's
• 18:54
  right
• 18:55
  on
• 18:55
  my
• 18:55
  cell
• 18:55
  phone.
• 18:56
  It's
• 18:56
  super
• 18:56
  easy.
• 18:56
  They
• 18:57
  just
• 18:57
  touch
• 18:57
  a
• 18:58
  card
• 18:58
  to
• 18:58
  the
• 18:59
  end
• 18:59
  of
• 18:59
  my
• 18:59
  cell
• 18:59
  phone,
• 19:00
  Transaction's
• 19:00
  done.
• 19:00
  It
• 19:01
  can
• 19:01
  send
• 19:01
  them
• 19:01
  a
• 19:02
  receipt
• 19:02
  instantly.
• 19:03
  Super
• 19:04
  easy.
• 19:04
  I
• 19:05
  absolutely
• 19:05
  love
• 19:05
  that
• 19:05
  method.
• 19:06
  And
• 19:07
  I
• 19:07
  don't
• 19:08
  think
• 19:08
  square
• 19:08
  takes
• 19:08
  too
• 19:08
  much.
• 19:09
  It
• 19:09
  is
• 19:10
  what
• 19:10
  it
• 19:10
  is.
• 19:10
  You
• 19:10
  write
• 19:10
  that
• 19:11
  off
• 19:11
  on
• 19:11
  your
• 19:11
  taxes
• 19:11
  at
• 19:11
  the
• 19:11
  end
• 19:12
  of
• 19:12
  the
• 19:12
  year,
• 19:13
  you're
• 19:13
  not
• 19:13
  having
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  worry
• 19:13
  about
• 19:13
  cash
• 19:14
  on
• 19:14
  hand.
• 19:14
  And
• 19:15
  if
• 19:15
  people
• 19:15
  want
• 19:15
  to
• 19:15
  pay
• 19:15
  cash,
• 19:16
  just
• 19:16
  say,
• 19:16
  hey,
• 19:16
  it
• 19:16
  has.
• 19:16
  It
• 19:16
  has
• 19:17
  to
• 19:17
  be
• 19:17
  exact.
• 19:17
  I'm
• 19:17
  sorry,
• 19:18
  I
• 19:18
  don't.
• 19:18
  The
• 19:19
  nice
• 19:19
  thing
• 19:19
  about
• 19:19
  it,
• 19:19
  I
• 19:20
  also
• 19:20
  have
• 19:20
  a
• 19:20
  square
• 19:20
  account
• 19:21
  and
• 19:22
  a
• 19:22
  couple
• 19:22
  of
• 19:22
  things
• 19:23
  happened.
• 19:23
  And
• 19:24
  before
• 19:24
  we
• 19:25
  got
• 19:25
  on
• 19:25
  our
• 19:26
  show
• 19:26
  live
• 19:26
  here,
• 19:27
  we
• 19:27
  have
• 19:28
  a
• 19:28
  brand
• 19:28
  new
• 19:28
  account.
• 19:28
  And
• 19:29
  of
• 19:29
  course
• 19:29
  they're
• 19:30
  taking
• 19:30
  us
• 19:30
  into
• 19:31
  three
• 19:31
  of
• 19:31
  their
• 19:31
  stores,
• 19:32
  but
• 19:32
  they
• 19:32
  have
• 19:33
  a
• 19:33
  central
• 19:33
  warehouse,
• 19:34
  so
• 19:35
  we
• 19:35
  had
• 19:35
  to
• 19:35
  set
• 19:35
  up
• 19:36
  a
• 19:36
  brand
• 19:36
  new
• 19:36
  account.
• 19:37
  So
• 19:37
  we're
• 19:37
  setting
• 19:38
  that
• 19:38
  up
• 19:39
  on
• 19:39
  Square.
• 19:40
  So
• 19:40
  square
• 19:40
  will
• 19:40
  automatically,
• 19:42
  once
• 19:42
  we
• 19:42
  produce
• 19:42
  the
• 19:43
  invoice,
• 19:43
  it'll
• 19:43
  go
• 19:43
  to
• 19:44
  them.
• 19:44
  And
• 19:44
  then
• 19:44
  it'll
• 19:45
  keep
• 19:45
  track
• 19:45
  also
• 19:46
  of
• 19:46
  the
• 19:46
  day's
• 19:47
  before
• 19:48
  they
• 19:48
  have
• 19:48
  to
• 19:48
  pay
• 19:48
  the
• 19:49
  bill
• 19:49
  because
• 19:49
  we
• 19:49
  set
• 19:49
  them
• 19:50
  up
• 19:50
  on
• 19:50
  that
• 19:50
  30
• 19:51
  days,
• 19:52
  so
• 19:53
  that
• 19:53
  kind
• 19:53
  of
• 19:53
  thing.
• 19:53
  But
• 19:54
  thank
• 19:54
  you
• 19:54
  for
• 19:54
  sharing
• 19:55
  that
• 19:55
  again.
• 19:55
  That
• 19:55
  square,
• 19:56
  if
• 19:56
  you're
• 19:57
  going
• 19:57
  to
• 19:57
  a
• 19:57
  farmer's
• 19:58
  market
• 19:58
  or
• 19:58
  you're
• 19:59
  going
• 19:59
  to
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  Christmas
• 20:01
  market
• 20:01
  or
• 20:01
  whatever
• 20:02
  square
• 20:03
  is
• 20:03
  quite
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  neat
• 20:04
  thing
• 20:04
  to
• 20:04
  have
• 20:04
  because
• 20:05
  like
• 20:05
  you
• 20:05
  said,
• 20:05
  they
• 20:05
  just
• 20:06
  have
• 20:06
  to
• 20:06
  touch
• 20:06
  it
• 20:06
  with
• 20:07
  their
• 20:07
  credit
• 20:08
  card
• 20:08
  and
• 20:09
  automatically
• 20:09
  you
• 20:10
  generate
• 20:10
  a
• 20:10
  sale
• 20:11
  and
• 20:11
  they
• 20:11
  get
• 20:12
  their
• 20:12
  receipt
• 20:12
  and
• 20:13
  they
• 20:13
  walk
• 20:13
  away
• 20:13
  with
• 20:13
  their
• 20:14
  product.
• 20:14
  And
• 20:14
  it
• 20:14
  does
• 20:14
  my
• 20:15
  sales
• 20:15
  reports
• 20:15
  for
• 20:15
  me,
• 20:16
  my
• 20:16
  sales
• 20:16
  tax,
• 20:16
  all
• 20:17
  that.
• 20:17
  And
• 20:17
  I
• 20:17
  can
• 20:17
  change
• 20:18
  based
• 20:18
  off
• 20:19
  the
• 20:19
  state
• 20:19
  where
• 20:19
  I'm
• 20:19
  at,
• 20:19
  the
• 20:20
  county
• 20:20
  where
• 20:20
  I'm
• 20:20
  at
• 20:20
  least
• 20:21
  for,
• 20:21
  for
• 20:21
  tax
• 20:22
  purposes.
• 20:22
  And
• 20:22
  then
• 20:23
  obviously
• 20:23
  the,
• 20:24
  when
• 20:24
  they're
• 20:25
  in
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  major
• 20:25
  stores,
• 20:25
  that's
• 20:26
  all
• 20:26
  handled
• 20:26
  through,
• 20:26
  through
• 20:27
  them.
• 20:27
  I
• 20:27
  noticed
• 20:28
  on
• 20:28
  your
• 20:28
  website
• 20:29
  and
• 20:29
  if
• 20:30
  you
• 20:30
  want
• 20:30
  to
• 20:30
  expand
• 20:30
  on
• 20:31
  this,
• 20:32
  please
• 20:32
  feel
• 20:32
  free
• 20:32
  to
• 20:33
  do
• 20:33
  that.
• 20:33
  So
• 20:33
  I
• 20:34
  noticed
• 20:34
  you
• 20:34
  have
• 20:34
  primarily
• 20:35
  two
• 20:35
  revenue
• 20:36
  sources
• 20:37
  on
• 20:37
  your
• 20:37
  website.
• 20:38
  Selling
• 20:38
  your
• 20:38
  books
• 20:39
  and
• 20:40
  your
• 20:41
  online
• 20:41
  store
• 20:42
  with
• 20:42
  some
• 20:42
  pretty
• 20:42
  cool
• 20:43
  merchandise
• 20:44
  with
• 20:44
  your
• 20:44
  Halo
• 20:45
  Girl
• 20:46
  logo,
• 20:46
  which
• 20:46
  I
• 20:46
  love.
• 20:47
  So
• 20:47
  it's
• 20:47
  such
• 20:47
  a
• 20:48
  catchy
• 20:48
  little
• 20:48
  thing.
• 20:49
  Tell
• 20:49
  us
• 20:49
  a
• 20:49
  little
• 20:49
  bit
• 20:50
  about
• 20:50
  each
• 20:50
  of
• 20:51
  those
• 20:51
  revenue
• 20:51
  sources
• 20:52
  and
• 20:52
  what's
• 20:53
  your
• 20:53
  primary
• 20:53
  revenue
• 20:54
  source?
• 20:55
  Yeah,
• 20:56
  so
• 20:56
  when
• 20:56
  I
• 20:56
  do
• 20:57
  things,
• 20:59
  I
• 20:59
  really
• 20:59
  try
• 20:59
  to
• 20:59
  stay
• 21:00
  local.
• 21:00
  I'm
• 21:01
  a
• 21:01
  small
• 21:01
  business
• 21:01
  owner.
• 21:02
  I'm
• 21:02
  a
• 21:02
  woman
• 21:02
  owned
• 21:03
  and
• 21:03
  veteran
• 21:03
  owned
• 21:04
  small
• 21:04
  business
• 21:04
  owner.
• 21:04
  So
• 21:04
  I
• 21:05
  really
• 21:05
  try
• 21:05
  to
• 21:05
  work
• 21:05
  with
• 21:05
  organizations
• 21:06
  that
• 21:06
  are
• 21:06
  the
• 21:06
  same.
• 21:07
  Interesting
• 21:08
  enough,
• 21:08
  my
• 21:09
  publisher
• 21:09
  is
• 21:10
  here
• 21:10
  in
• 21:11
  West
• 21:11
  Palm
• 21:11
  Beach,
• 21:12
  Florida,
• 21:12
  so
• 21:12
  it's
• 21:12
  just
• 21:12
  a
• 21:12
  couple
• 21:13
  hours
• 21:13
  south
• 21:13
  of
• 21:13
  me.
• 21:14
  Now
• 21:14
  granted,
• 21:14
  not
• 21:14
  local,
• 21:15
  but
• 21:16
  there's
• 21:16
  no
• 21:16
  major
• 21:16
  publishers
• 21:17
  here.
• 21:17
  My
• 21:18
  T
• 21:18
  shirts
• 21:18
  are
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  local
• 21:19
  small
• 21:19
  business.
• 21:20
  My
• 21:20
  stickers
• 21:21
  are
• 21:21
  an
• 21:21
  online
• 21:21
  company
• 21:22
  but
• 21:22
  based
• 21:23
  in
• 21:23
  the
• 21:23
  US
• 21:24
  So
• 21:24
  I
• 21:24
  try
• 21:25
  to
• 21:25
  put
• 21:25
  those
• 21:25
  in
• 21:25
  considerations.
• 21:26
  I
• 21:26
  work
• 21:26
  with
• 21:27
  some
• 21:27
  helmet
• 21:27
  companies
• 21:27
  on
• 21:28
  some
• 21:28
  things
• 21:28
  that
• 21:29
  are
• 21:29
  local,
• 21:29
  just
• 21:29
  a
• 21:30
  few
• 21:30
  minutes
• 21:30
  from
• 21:30
  my
• 21:30
  house.
• 21:31
  So
• 21:31
  I
• 21:31
  really
• 21:31
  try
• 21:31
  to
• 21:32
  support
• 21:32
  local
• 21:32
  businesses,
• 21:33
  which
• 21:33
  I
• 21:33
  love.
• 21:35
  That
• 21:35
  being
• 21:35
  said,
• 21:36
  I
• 21:36
  noticed
• 21:36
  your
• 21:36
  book
• 21:37
  is
• 21:37
  printed
• 21:37
  in
• 21:38
  Hong
• 21:38
  Kong.
• 21:39
  Hong
• 21:39
  Kong.
• 21:39
  Yeah,
• 21:39
  yeah.
• 21:40
  And
• 21:40
  I,
• 21:40
  and
• 21:40
  I
• 21:40
  listen
• 21:41
  again,
• 21:42
  I
• 21:42
  think
• 21:42
  all
• 21:43
  of
• 21:43
  us,
• 21:43
  whether
• 21:44
  we're
• 21:44
  in
• 21:44
  Canada
• 21:45
  or
• 21:45
  the
• 21:45
  United
• 21:46
  States,
• 21:47
  it
• 21:47
  tends
• 21:47
  to
• 21:48
  be
• 21:48
  the
• 21:49
  cost
• 21:49
  of
• 21:49
  print
• 21:50
  tend
• 21:50
  to
• 21:50
  be
• 21:50
  higher
• 21:51
  and
• 21:53
  so
• 21:53
  you
• 21:53
  have
• 21:53
  to
• 21:53
  look
• 21:53
  at
• 21:54
  that
• 21:54
  aspect
• 21:54
  of
• 21:55
  it.
• 21:55
  So
• 21:55
  I'm
• 21:56
  guessing
• 21:56
  you've
• 21:56
  printed
• 21:57
  in
• 21:57
  Hong
• 21:57
  Kong
• 21:58
  because
• 21:58
  of
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  pricing?
• 22:00
  I
• 22:01
  have
• 22:01
  no
• 22:01
  idea.
• 22:02
  And
• 22:02
  it's
• 22:02
  all
• 22:02
  handed
• 22:03
  through
• 22:03
  my
• 22:03
  publisher.
• 22:04
  Okay.
• 22:05
  So
• 22:05
  my
• 22:05
  publishers
• 22:06
  based
• 22:06
  here
• 22:07
  in
• 22:07
  Florida,
• 22:07
  they
• 22:07
  do
• 22:08
  all,
• 22:08
  they
• 22:09
  do
• 22:09
  everything.
• 22:10
  So
• 22:10
  they,
• 22:10
  they
• 22:11
  do
• 22:11
  the
• 22:11
  printing,
• 22:11
  the
• 22:11
  binding,
• 22:12
  the
• 22:12
  distribution,
• 22:13
  they
• 22:14
  do
• 22:14
  all
• 22:14
  of
• 22:14
  that.
• 22:15
  Okay.
• 22:15
  I
• 22:15
  just
• 22:15
  send
• 22:15
  them
• 22:16
  a
• 22:16
  manuscript.
• 22:16
  I
• 22:17
  work
• 22:17
  with
• 22:17
  the
• 22:17
  illustrators
• 22:18
  on
• 22:18
  their
• 22:18
  side
• 22:19
  to
• 22:19
  curate
• 22:19
  the
• 22:19
  page.
• 22:20
  Okay.
• 22:20
  So
• 22:21
  I'm
• 22:21
  very
• 22:21
  blessed
• 22:22
  in
• 22:22
  that
• 22:22
  regard.
• 22:23
  Before
• 22:23
  we
• 22:23
  jump
• 22:24
  into
• 22:24
  publishing,
• 22:25
  then,
• 22:25
  I
• 22:25
  just
• 22:25
  want
• 22:26
  to
• 22:26
  come
• 22:26
  back
• 22:26
  to
• 22:26
  your
• 22:26
  revenue
• 22:27
  model
• 22:27
  again.
• 22:28
  And
• 22:28
  the
• 22:28
  only
• 22:28
  reason
• 22:29
  being
• 22:29
  is
• 22:29
  I
• 22:29
  want
• 22:30
  children's
• 22:31
  book
• 22:31
  authors
• 22:31
  to
• 22:32
  understand
• 22:33
  that
• 22:35
  they're
• 22:35
  a
• 22:35
  small
• 22:35
  business,
• 22:36
  as
• 22:36
  you
• 22:36
  just
• 22:37
  alluded
• 22:37
  to.
• 22:38
  And
• 22:38
  a
• 22:38
  lot
• 22:38
  of
• 22:38
  times
• 22:39
  I
• 22:39
  think
• 22:39
  what
• 22:39
  happens
• 22:40
  is
• 22:40
  when
• 22:40
  someone
• 22:41
  creates
• 22:41
  a
• 22:41
  product
• 22:42
  which
• 22:42
  is
• 22:43
  their
• 22:43
  children's
• 22:43
  book,
• 22:44
  they
• 22:44
  still
• 22:45
  don't
• 22:45
  think
• 22:45
  of
• 22:45
  themselves
• 22:46
  as
• 22:47
  a
• 22:47
  business.
• 22:48
  But
• 22:49
  in
• 22:49
  essence,
• 22:50
  if
• 22:50
  you
• 22:50
  put
• 22:50
  a
• 22:50
  retail
• 22:51
  price
• 22:51
  on
• 22:51
  it
• 22:51
  or
• 22:52
  you
• 22:52
  sell
• 22:52
  it.
• 22:53
  Yeah,
• 22:53
  you're
• 22:54
  a
• 22:54
  business.
• 22:55
  Sometimes
• 22:55
  I'm
• 22:55
  wondering
• 22:56
  if
• 22:56
  they
• 22:56
  did
• 22:56
  their
• 22:57
  numbers
• 22:57
  to
• 22:57
  understand
• 22:58
  how
• 22:58
  many
• 22:58
  books
• 22:59
  they
• 22:59
  actually
• 22:59
  have
• 22:59
  to
• 23:00
  sell.
• 23:01
  Actualized.
• 23:01
  Yep.
• 23:02
  And
• 23:02
  so
• 23:02
  that's

  I'm

  could
• 23:59
  help
• 23:59
  you
• 24:00
  get
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  word

  more
• 24:01
  because.
• 24:02
  What
• 24:02
  a
• 24:02
  nice
• 24:03
  job.
• 24:03
  Let's
• 24:03
  talk
• 24:04
  about
• 24:04
  your
• 24:04
  publishing
• 24:05
  approach.
• 24:05
  Each
• 24:05
  one
• 24:06
  of
• 24:06
  us
• 24:06
  has
• 24:06
  a
• 24:06
  different
• 24:07
  publishing
• 24:08
  approach.
• 24:08
  Some
• 24:08
  of
• 24:09
  us
• 24:09
  are
• 24:09
  indie
• 24:09
  publishers.
• 24:10
  Some
• 24:10
  of
• 24:10
  us
• 24:10
  are
• 24:11
  self
• 24:11
  published.
• 24:12
  Some
• 24:12
  of
• 24:12
  us
• 24:12
  use
• 24:13
  hybrid.
• 24:13
  Some
• 24:13
  of
• 24:14
  us
• 24:14
  are
• 24:14
  traditionally
• 24:15
  published.
• 24:16
  You've
• 24:16
  been
• 24:16
  talking
• 24:17
  about
• 24:18
  Blue
• 24:18
  Balloon
• 24:18
  books.
• 24:20
  Tell
• 24:20
  us
• 24:20
  about
• 24:20
  that.
• 24:21
  Are
• 24:21
  they
• 24:21
  a
• 24:22
  hybrid
• 24:22
  book
• 24:23
  publisher?
• 24:23
  What
• 24:24
  type
• 24:24
  of
• 24:24
  publisher
• 24:24
  are
• 24:25
  they?
• 24:25
  Yeah.
• 24:26
  So
• 24:26
  again,
• 24:26
  I
• 24:27
  didn't.
• 24:27
  I
• 24:28
  did
• 24:28
  reach
• 24:28
  out
• 24:28
  to
• 24:28
  only
• 24:29
  one
• 24:29
  publisher,
• 24:29
  but
• 24:29
  I
• 24:30
  did
• 24:30
  do
• 24:30
  research
• 24:30
  ahead
• 24:31
  of
• 24:31
  time.
• 24:31
  I'd
• 24:32
  researched,
• 24:32
  just
• 24:33
  as
• 24:33
  you
• 24:33
  alluded
• 24:33
  to
• 24:34
  self
• 24:34
  publishing,
• 24:35
  what
• 24:35
  all
• 24:35
  was
• 24:35
  encompassed
• 24:36
  with
• 24:36
  that
• 24:37
  hybrid
• 24:37
  publishing,
• 24:38
  which
• 24:38
  I
• 24:38
  really
• 24:38
  had
• 24:38
  no
• 24:38
  idea
• 24:39
  about.
• 24:40
  Then
• 24:40
  I
• 24:40
  started
• 24:40
  researching.
• 24:41
  The
• 24:41
  more
• 24:41
  I
• 24:41
  found
• 24:41
  out
• 24:42
  when
• 24:42
  I
• 24:42
  looked
• 24:42
  at.
• 24:43
  Looking
• 24:43
  at
• 24:43
  trying
• 24:43
  to
• 24:43
  get
• 24:44
  an
• 24:44
  agent
• 24:44
  so
• 24:44
  I
• 24:44
  can
• 24:44
  get
• 24:44
  with
• 24:45
  a
• 24:45
  full
• 24:45
  publisher,
• 24:45
  like
• 24:46
  Scholastic,
• 24:47
  for
• 24:47
  example,
• 24:48
  and
• 24:48
  what
• 24:48
  all
• 24:48
  that
• 24:49
  entailed.
• 24:49
  And
• 24:49
  I
• 24:50
  really
• 24:50
  kept
• 24:50
  going
• 24:51
  back
• 24:51
  to
• 24:51
  hybrid
• 24:52
  publishing,
• 24:53
  self
• 24:53
  publishing,
• 24:54
  way
• 24:54
  more
• 24:54
  than
• 24:54
  I
• 24:54
  wanted
• 24:55
  to
• 24:55
  do.
• 24:55
  I
• 24:56
  don't
• 24:56
  want
• 24:56
  to
• 24:56
  learn
• 24:56
  about
• 24:56
  printing,
• 24:57
  binding,
• 24:57
  distribution.
• 24:58
  I
• 24:58
  run
• 24:58
  a
• 24:58
  consulting
• 24:59
  firm.
• 24:59
  I'm
• 25:00
  a
• 25:00
  full
• 25:00
  time
• 25:00
  student.
• 25:01
  I
• 25:01
  have
• 25:01
  three
• 25:02
  kids.
• 25:02
  I'm.
• 25:03
  I
• 25:03
  just
• 25:04
  didn't
• 25:04
  want
• 25:04
  to
• 25:04
  do
• 25:04
  all
• 25:04
  that
• 25:05
  for
• 25:05
  sure.
• 25:05
  I
• 25:06
  didn't
• 25:06
  want
• 25:06
  to
• 25:06
  look
• 25:06
  at
• 25:07
  agent
• 25:07
  and
• 25:07
  I
• 25:07
  didn't
• 25:07
  want
• 25:07
  a
• 25:08
  company
• 25:08
  to
• 25:08
  take
• 25:09
  the
• 25:09
  majority
• 25:09
  of
• 25:10
  my
• 25:10
  proceeds
• 25:10
  of
• 25:10
  my
• 25:10
  creative
• 25:11
  work.
• 25:12
  So
• 25:12
  I
• 25:12
  really
• 25:12
  liked
• 25:13
  the.
• 25:13
  The
• 25:13
  hybrid
• 25:14
  piece.
• 25:14
  It's
• 25:15
  my
• 25:15
  book
• 25:15
  and
• 25:16
  that's
• 25:16
  what
• 25:16
  I
• 25:16
  like.
• 25:16
  I
• 25:17
  love
• 25:17
  with
• 25:17
  the
• 25:17
  hybrid
• 25:17
  publishing.
• 25:18
  And
• 25:18
  of
• 25:18
  course
• 25:18
  that
• 25:18
  would
• 25:18
  be
• 25:19
  that
• 25:19
  way
• 25:19
  with
• 25:19
  self
• 25:19
  publishing
• 25:20
  because
• 25:20
  it's
• 25:20
  my
• 25:20
  book,
• 25:21
  hybrid
• 25:22
  publishing.
• 25:22
  So
• 25:22
  for
• 25:23
  them,
• 25:23
  again,
• 25:23
  I
• 25:23
  just
• 25:23
  provide
• 25:24
  a
• 25:24
  manuscript.
• 25:25
  They
• 25:25
  have.
• 25:25
  I
• 25:26
  could
• 25:26
  bring
• 25:26
  my
• 25:26
  own
• 25:26
  illustrator.
• 25:27
  I
• 25:27
  didn't
• 25:27
  have
• 25:28
  one
• 25:28
  on
• 25:28
  hand.
• 25:29
  They
• 25:29
  have
• 25:29
  a
• 25:29
  whole
• 25:30
  bunch
• 25:30
  of
• 25:30
  illustrators
• 25:30
  and
• 25:31
  they
• 25:31
  sent
• 25:31
  me
• 25:31
  like
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  portfolio
• 25:32
  book
• 25:33
  and
• 25:33
  they're
• 25:33
  like,
• 25:33
  hey,
• 25:33
  which
• 25:34
  artwork
• 25:34
  do
• 25:35
  you
• 25:35
  like
• 25:35
  best?
• 25:35
  Was
• 25:36
  meeting
• 25:36
  your
• 25:36
  vision.
• 25:37
  I
• 25:37
  picked
• 25:37
  out
• 25:38
  four
• 25:38
  or
• 25:38
  five
• 25:38
  and
• 25:39
  I
• 25:39
  was
• 25:39
  like,
• 25:39
  please
• 25:39
  have
• 25:39
  them
• 25:40
  draw
• 25:40
  a
• 25:41
  female
• 25:41
  pilot
• 25:41
  in
• 25:41
  a
• 25:41
  helicopter.
• 25:42
  And
• 25:42
  we
• 25:42
  just.
• 25:42
  I
• 25:43
  whittled
• 25:43
  it
• 25:43
  down
• 25:43
  to
• 25:44
  Barbara
• 25:44
  who
• 25:45
  does
• 25:45
  my
• 25:45
  illustrations
• 25:45
  and
• 25:46
  she's
• 25:46
  amazing.
• 25:47
  And
• 25:47
  then.
• 25:47
  So
• 25:47
  when
• 25:47
  it
• 25:47
  comes
• 25:48
  to
• 25:48
  the
• 25:48
  book.
• 25:48
  Doing
• 25:49
  your
• 25:49
  third
• 25:49
  book.
• 25:50
  Yeah.
• 25:50
  I
• 25:50
  hope
• 25:50
  she
• 25:51
  stays
• 25:51
  with
• 25:51
  me
• 25:51
  for
• 25:51
  life.
• 25:51
  I
• 25:52
  love
• 25:52
  her.
• 25:52
  That's
• 25:53
  how
• 25:53
  I
• 25:53
  feel
• 25:53
  about
• 25:54
  our
• 25:54
  illustrator.
• 25:55
  Yeah.
• 25:56
  I
• 25:56
  live
• 25:56
  my
• 25:56
  life
• 25:57
  through
• 25:57
  safety,
• 25:57
  standardization
• 25:58
  and
• 25:58
  structure.
• 25:59
  And
• 25:59
  so
• 26:00
  changing
• 26:00
  something
• 26:00
  would
• 26:00
  really
• 26:01
  put
• 26:01
  me
• 26:01
  off
• 26:01
  kilter.
• 26:02
  But.
• 26:02
  Right.
• 26:02
  So
• 26:03
  then
• 26:03
  I
• 26:03
  work
• 26:03
  with
• 26:03
  the
• 26:04
  publisher
• 26:04
  and
• 26:04
  I
• 26:04
  would
• 26:04
  say
• 26:05
  on
• 26:05
  this
• 26:05
  page,
• 26:05
  I
• 26:05
  want
• 26:05
  this
• 26:06
  and
• 26:06
  this
• 26:06
  is.
• 26:06
  I
• 26:06
  want
• 26:06
  this
• 26:07
  on
• 26:07
  this
• 26:07
  page
• 26:07
  and
• 26:07
  this
• 26:07
  on
• 26:08
  this
• 26:08
  page.
• 26:08
  And
• 26:08
  this
• 26:08
  should
• 26:09
  be
• 26:09
  like
• 26:09
  that.
• 26:09
  And
• 26:09
  so
• 26:10
  we
• 26:10
  go
• 26:10
  back
• 26:11
  and
• 26:11
  forth
• 26:11
  sometimes
• 26:11
  on
• 26:12
  technical
• 26:12
  aspects.
• 26:13
  We
• 26:13
  especially
• 26:13
  did
• 26:14
  on
• 26:14
  the
• 26:14
  law
• 26:14
  enforcement
• 26:15
  book
• 26:15
  because
• 26:15
  of
• 26:16
  the
• 26:16
  FLIR
• 26:16
  system
• 26:16
  and
• 26:17
  things
• 26:17
  like
• 26:17
  that.
• 26:18
  Then
• 26:19
  Barbara
• 26:19
  puts
• 26:19
  her
• 26:19
  spin
• 26:20
  on
• 26:20
  it.
• 26:20
  And
• 26:20
  if
• 26:20
  we
• 26:20
  need
• 26:20
  to
• 26:20
  adjust
• 26:21
  some
• 26:21
  things,
• 26:21
  we
• 26:21
  do
• 26:22
  just
• 26:22
  to
• 26:22
  make
• 26:22
  sure
• 26:22
  it's
• 26:22
  not
• 26:23
  accurate
• 26:23
  because
• 26:23
  she's
• 26:23
  not
• 26:23
  in
• 26:23
  the
• 26:24
  helicopter
• 26:24
  industry.
• 26:25
  But
• 26:25
  other
• 26:25
  than
• 26:25
  that,
• 26:26
  it's
• 26:26
  been
• 26:26
  wonderful
• 26:27
  with
• 26:27
  hybrid
• 26:28
  publishing.
• 26:28
  Fantastic.
• 26:29
  Does
• 26:30
  Blue
• 26:30
  Balloon
• 26:31
  help
• 26:31
  you
• 26:31
  with
• 26:31
  the
• 26:31
  editing?
• 26:33
  So
• 26:33
  they
• 26:33
  do
• 26:34
  have
• 26:34
  editors
• 26:34
  on
• 26:35
  hand.
• 26:36
  I
• 26:36
  don't
• 26:36
  really
• 26:36
  need
• 26:37
  it.
• 26:37
  Okay.
• 26:38
  So
• 26:38
  you.
• 26:38
  I.
• 26:39
  And
• 26:39
  that's
• 26:39
  one
• 26:39
  thing
• 26:39
  great
• 26:40
  about
• 26:40
  hybrid
• 26:40
  publishing
• 26:41
  is
• 26:41
  you
• 26:41
  can
• 26:41
  say
• 26:42
  I
• 26:42
  need
• 26:42
  this
• 26:42
  and
• 26:42
  I
• 26:43
  need
• 26:43
  that.
• 26:44
  Yeah,
• 26:45
  yeah.
• 26:45
  If
• 26:45
  you
• 26:45
  want
• 26:45
  help
• 26:46
  with
• 26:46
  marketing,
• 26:46
  you
• 26:47
  can
• 26:47
  add
• 26:47
  that
• 26:47
  to
• 26:47
  your
• 26:47
  cart
• 26:48
  if
• 26:48
  you
• 26:48
  want
• 26:48
  this
• 26:48
  or
• 26:49
  that.
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  would
• 26:49
  say
• 26:50
  they
• 26:50
  might
• 26:50
  offer
• 26:50
  a
• 26:50
  couple
• 26:50
  edited
• 26:51
  suggestions
• 26:51
  like,
• 26:52
  hey,
• 26:52
  we
• 26:52
  recommend
• 26:52
  this
• 26:52
  here
• 26:53
  or
• 26:53
  there,
• 26:53
  but
• 26:54
  they
• 26:54
  don't
• 26:54
  really
• 26:54
  have
• 26:54
  to
• 26:55
  full
• 26:55
  edit
• 26:55
  my
• 26:55
  books
• 26:56
  at
• 26:56
  least.
• 26:56
  Okay.
• 26:57
  Blue
• 26:57
  Balloon
• 26:57
  Helps
• 26:58
  you
• 26:58
  also
• 26:59
  on
• 26:59
  the
• 26:59
  sales
• 26:59
  and
• 27:00
  marketing
• 27:00
  side
• 27:00
  and
• 27:01
  distribution.
• 27:03
  So
• 27:03
  they
• 27:03
  do.
• 27:03
  Oh,
• 27:03
  yeah.
• 27:03
  All
• 27:04
  the
• 27:04
  distribution.
• 27:05
  So
• 27:05
  they
• 27:05
  all.
• 27:06
  The
• 27:06
  only
• 27:06
  reason
• 27:06
  I
• 27:06
  ask
• 27:07
  that
• 27:07
  is
• 27:07
  that,
• 27:08
  of
• 27:08
  course,
• 27:09
  as.
• 27:10
  As
• 27:11
  I've
• 27:11
  talked
• 27:11
  to
• 27:11
  more
• 27:11
  and
• 27:12
  more
• 27:12
  children's
• 27:13
  book
• 27:13
  authors,
• 27:14
  a
• 27:14
  lot
• 27:14
  of
• 27:14
  them
• 27:15
  are
• 27:15
  using
• 27:15
  hybrid
• 27:16
  services.
• 27:18
  But
• 27:18
  a
• 27:18
  lot
• 27:18
  of
• 27:18
  the
• 27:19
  hybrid
• 27:19
  services
• 27:20
  so
• 27:20
  far
• 27:20
  that
• 27:20
  I've
• 27:20
  been
• 27:21
  introduced
• 27:21
  to
• 27:22
  through
• 27:22
  these
• 27:22
  children's
• 27:23
  book
• 27:23
  authors,
• 27:24
  they
• 27:24
  take
• 27:25
  you
• 27:25
  to
• 27:26
  finished
• 27:26
  product
• 27:27
  only
• 27:28
  once
• 27:28
  you
• 27:28
  have
• 27:29
  the
• 27:29
  book
• 27:29
  in
• 27:29
  hand
• 27:30
  and
• 27:30
  they
• 27:30
  get
• 27:31
  you
• 27:31
  set
• 27:31
  up
• 27:31
  on
• 27:31
  Amazon
• 27:32
  and
• 27:32
  ingramsparks.
• 27:33
  The
• 27:34
  rest
• 27:34
  of
• 27:34
  it's
• 27:34
  up
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  you.
• 27:35
  So
• 27:35
  you
• 27:35
  have
• 27:36
  to
• 27:36
  handle
• 27:36
  the
• 27:37
  sales
• 27:37
  and
• 27:37
  marketing
• 27:38
  and
• 27:39
  completely
• 27:39
  on
• 27:39
  your
• 27:40
  own.
• 27:40
  Yeah.
• 27:41
  Nope.
• 27:41
  So
• 27:41
  they
• 27:41
  get
• 27:42
  it
• 27:42
  into
• 27:42
  Walmart,
• 27:42
  Target
• 27:43
  again,
• 27:43
  Barnes
• 27:44
  and
• 27:44
  Noble
• 27:44
  Books,
• 27:44
  a
• 27:44
  million.
• 27:44
  It's
• 27:45
  already
• 27:45
  over
• 27:45
  there.
• 27:46
  Depending
• 27:46
  on
• 27:46
  sales,
• 27:47
  the
• 27:47
  stores
• 27:47
  might
• 27:47
  not
• 27:48
  carry
• 27:48
  them
• 27:49
  in
• 27:49
  store
• 27:49
  until
• 27:50
  sales
• 27:50
  pick
• 27:50
  up.
• 27:50
  Right.
• 27:51
  That's
• 27:51
  just
• 27:51
  how
• 27:51
  it
• 27:51
  is.
• 27:52
  On
• 27:52
  demand,
• 27:53
  on
• 27:53
  the
• 27:53
  need
• 27:53
  to
• 27:54
  have
• 27:54
  them
• 27:54
  in
• 27:54
  the
• 27:54
  store.
• 27:55
  Okay.
• 27:55
  But
• 27:55
  they
• 27:56
  sell
• 27:56
  them
• 27:56
  online,
• 27:58
  so
• 27:58
  they
• 27:58
  handle
• 27:58
  all
• 27:58
  that.
• 27:59
  And
• 27:59
  then
• 27:59
  for
• 27:59
  marketing,
• 28:00
  again,
• 28:00
  if
• 28:00
  you
• 28:00
  want
• 28:00
  to
• 28:00
  pay
• 28:01
  for
• 28:01
  marketing
• 28:01
  pieces
• 28:01
  or
• 28:02
  not,
• 28:02
  I
• 28:02
  think
• 28:02
  I
• 28:02
  pay
• 28:02
  for
• 28:02
  five
• 28:03
  marketing
• 28:04
  pieces
• 28:05
  after.
• 28:05
  But
• 28:05
  even
• 28:05
  Barnes
• 28:06
  and
• 28:06
  Noble
• 28:07
  came
• 28:07
  to
• 28:08
  the
• 28:08
  publisher
• 28:08
  about
• 28:09
  doing
• 28:09
  this
• 28:09
  piece,
• 28:09
  and
• 28:09
  they're
• 28:10
  like,
• 28:10
  did
• 28:10
  a
• 28:10
  whole
• 28:10
  introduction
• 28:11
  piece
• 28:11
  and
• 28:12
  got
• 28:12
  that
• 28:12
  rolling.
• 28:12
  So
• 28:13
  it's.
• 28:13
  I
• 28:13
  reached
• 28:14
  out
• 28:14
  to
• 28:14
  them
• 28:14
  all
• 28:14
  the
• 28:14
  time
• 28:14
  about
• 28:15
  crazy
• 28:15
  stuff.
• 28:15
  My
• 28:15
  publisher
• 28:16
  probably
• 28:16
  gets
• 28:17
  frustrated
• 28:17
  with
• 28:17
  me,
• 28:18
  but
• 28:18
  I
• 28:18
  love
• 28:18
  them.
• 28:19
  They're
• 28:19
  so
• 28:19
  good.
• 28:20
  I.
• 28:21
  I've
• 28:21
  been
• 28:21
  extremely
• 28:22
  happy.
• 28:22
  And
• 28:23
  again,
• 28:24
  whomever
• 28:24
  is
• 28:25
  looking
• 28:25
  to
• 28:26
  get
• 28:26
  into
• 28:26
  this
• 28:27
  type
• 28:27
  of
• 28:27
  work,
• 28:28
  do
• 28:28
  your
• 28:28
  research
• 28:29
  ahead
• 28:29
  of
• 28:29
  time.
• 28:30
  A
• 28:30
  lot
• 28:31
  of
• 28:31
  it.
• 28:31
  Yes.
• 28:31
  And
• 28:32
  so
• 28:32
  when
• 28:32
  you
• 28:32
  do
• 28:32
  reach
• 28:32
  out
• 28:32
  to
• 28:33
  someone,
• 28:33
  hopefully
• 28:33
  you
• 28:34
  have
• 28:34
  the
• 28:34
  same
• 28:34
  wonderful
• 28:35
  experience
• 28:35
  I
• 28:35
  have.
• 28:36
  You
• 28:36
  have
• 28:36
  two,
• 28:37
  primarily
• 28:38
  two
• 28:38
  formats,
• 28:38
  if
• 28:39
  I'm
• 28:39
  not
• 28:39
  mistaken.
• 28:40
  You've
• 28:40
  got
• 28:40
  like
• 28:40
  a
• 28:41
  Kindle
• 28:41
  version.
• 28:42
  Right.
• 28:43
  An
• 28:43
  ebook,
• 28:44
  and
• 28:44
  then
• 28:44
  you've
• 28:44
  also
• 28:45
  got
• 28:45
  the
• 28:45
  hardcover.
• 28:46
  I
• 28:46
  noticed
• 28:47
  you
• 28:47
  don't
• 28:47
  have
• 28:47
  a
• 28:47
  soft
• 28:47
  cover.
• 28:48
  Is
• 28:48
  that
• 28:49
  correct?
• 28:49
  Y.
• 28:50
  Correct.
• 28:50
  And
• 28:51
  that's
• 28:51
  a
• 28:51
  choice
• 28:51
  that
• 28:51
  you
• 28:52
  made
• 28:52
  with
• 28:52
  Blue
• 28:53
  Balloon?
• 28:54
  Yeah,
• 28:54
  that's
• 28:54
  my
• 28:54
  decision.
• 28:55
  Yep.
• 28:55
  Okay.
• 28:56
  Okay.
• 28:56
  All
• 28:57
  right.
• 28:57
  Yep.
• 28:57
  If
• 28:57
  I
• 28:57
  wanted
• 28:58
  a
• 28:58
  soft
• 28:58
  cover,
• 28:58
  they.
• 28:59
  They
• 28:59
  would
• 28:59
  have.
• 28:59
  I
• 28:59
  could
• 29:00
  have
• 29:00
  added
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  to
• 29:00
  the
• 29:00
  cart.
• 29:01
  Okay.
• 29:02
  Good
• 29:02
  to
• 29:02
  know.
• 29:02
  And
• 29:02
  so
• 29:03
  why
• 29:03
  did
• 29:03
  you
• 29:03
  not
• 29:03
  go
• 29:03
  with
• 29:04
  the
• 29:04
  soft
• 29:04
  cover?
• 29:05
  I
• 29:05
  like
• 29:05
  hard
• 29:05
  covers.
• 29:06
  Kids
• 29:06
  make
• 29:06
  things
• 29:07
  tear
• 29:07
  things
• 29:08
  up
• 29:08
  and
• 29:08
  rip
• 29:08
  things
• 29:08
  up
• 29:09
  and
• 29:09
  paint
• 29:09
  just
• 29:09
  gets
• 29:10
  messed
• 29:10
  up.
• 29:10
  And
• 29:10
  I
• 29:11
  just
• 29:11
  know
• 29:11
  my
• 29:11
  kids
• 29:11
  are
• 29:11
  more
• 29:12
  hardy
• 29:13
  and
• 29:13
  durable
• 29:13
  with
• 29:13
  hardcover,
• 29:14
  so
• 29:14
  I.
• 29:14
  I
• 29:15
  just
• 29:15
  love
• 29:15
  the
• 29:15
  feel
• 29:15
  of
• 29:15
  them.
• 29:16
  No.
• 29:16
  And
• 29:16
  that.
• 29:16
  No.
• 29:17
  And
• 29:17
  that's
• 29:17
  why
• 29:17
  I
• 29:17
  ask.
• 29:18
  Is
• 29:18
  so
• 29:18
  that
• 29:18
  people
• 29:19
  understand
• 29:19
  that
• 29:20
  every
• 29:20
  one
• 29:20
  of
• 29:20
  us
• 29:21
  makes
• 29:21
  a
• 29:21
  decision
• 29:22
  for
• 29:22
  different
• 29:22
  reasons.
• 29:23
  It's
• 29:23
  nice
• 29:24
  to
• 29:24
  know
• 29:24
  why
• 29:24
  you
• 29:24
  did
• 29:25
  that.
• 29:26
  Let's
• 29:26
  talk
• 29:26
  a
• 29:27
  bit
• 29:27
  about
• 29:27
  your
• 29:27
  website
• 29:28
  development
• 29:29
  because
• 29:29
  you've
• 29:30
  got
• 29:30
  a
• 29:30
  nice
• 29:30
  website.
• 29:31
  Did
• 29:31
  you
• 29:32
  create
• 29:33
  your
• 29:33
  website
• 29:33
  before
• 29:34
  or
• 29:35
  after
• 29:35
  you
• 29:36
  brought
• 29:36
  your
• 29:36
  first
• 29:37
  book
• 29:37
  to
• 29:37
  market?
• 29:40
  I
• 29:41
  have
• 29:41
  my
• 29:42
  business
• 29:42
  website
• 29:43
  that
• 29:44
  I
• 29:44
  created
• 29:45
  and
• 29:45
  I've
• 29:46
  had
• 29:46
  that
• 29:46
  for
• 29:46
  a
• 29:46
  number
• 29:47
  of
• 29:47
  years
• 29:47
  now.
• 29:47
  And
• 29:50
  I
• 29:50
  believe,
• 29:50
  I
• 29:51
  mean
• 29:51
  it
• 29:51
  almost
• 29:52
  happened
• 29:52
  like
• 29:52
  almost
• 29:53
  together
• 29:53
  when
• 29:53
  the
• 29:53
  book
• 29:54
  came
• 29:54
  out.
• 29:54
  You
• 29:55
  probably
• 29:56
  now
• 29:56
  like
• 29:56
  us.
• 29:57
  I
• 29:57
  have
• 29:57
  to
• 29:57
  tell
• 29:57
  you.
• 29:58
  Of
• 29:58
  course,
• 29:59
  if
• 29:59
  you
• 29:59
  go
• 29:59
  to
• 29:59
  our
• 30:00
  website,
• 30:00
  which
• 30:01
  is
• 30:01
  Caboose
• 30:01
  the
• 30:01
  Rocky
• 30:02
  Mountain
• 30:02
  Bear.com,
• 30:04
  we
• 30:04
  have
• 30:05
  used
• 30:06
  a
• 30:06
  lot
• 30:06
  of
• 30:06
  the
• 30:07
  artwork
• 30:08
  from
• 30:08
  our
• 30:09
  first
• 30:10
  and
• 30:10
  part
• 30:10
  of
• 30:11
  our
• 30:11
  second
• 30:11
  book
• 30:12
  to
• 30:12
  help
• 30:13
  create
• 30:13
  an
• 30:13
  engaging
• 30:14
  website.
• 30:15
  Obviously
• 30:15
  you
• 30:16
  used
• 30:16
  illustrations
• 30:17
  from
• 30:17
  your
• 30:17
  books
• 30:18
  to
• 30:19
  help
• 30:20
  you
• 30:20
  with
• 30:20
  your
• 30:20
  website.
• 30:21
  I'm
• 30:21
  extremely
• 30:22
  strategic.
• 30:23
  So
• 30:23
  before
• 30:23
  I
• 30:24
  start
• 30:24
  anything
• 30:25
  I
• 30:25
  will
• 30:25
  know
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  end,
• 30:26
  what
• 30:26
  I
• 30:26
  want
• 30:26
  in
• 30:26
  the
• 30:26
  end.
• 30:27
  So
• 30:28
  I'm
• 30:28
  not
• 30:28
  going
• 30:28
  to
• 30:28
  go
• 30:28
  into
• 30:28
  my
• 30:28
  end
• 30:29
  goal
• 30:29
  right
• 30:29
  here
• 30:29
  with
• 30:29
  he
• 30:30
  little
• 30:30
  girls,
• 30:30
  but
• 30:30
  I
• 30:30
  know
• 30:31
  what
• 30:31
  my
• 30:31
  end
• 30:31
  goal
• 30:32
  is.
• 30:32
  Okay.
• 30:33
  And
• 30:33
  so
• 30:34
  let's
• 30:34
  just
• 30:34
  start
• 30:34
  with
• 30:35
  book
• 30:35
  one.
• 30:35
  Right?
• 30:35
  And
• 30:36
  that's
• 30:36
  what
• 30:36
  leads
• 30:36
  to
• 30:37
  that
• 30:37
  strategic
• 30:37
  end
• 30:38
  goal.
• 30:38
  So
• 30:38
  having
• 30:39
  a
• 30:39
  website
• 30:39
  is
• 30:39
  part
• 30:40
  of
• 30:40
  that
• 30:41
  progression.
• 30:42
  I
• 30:42
  use
• 30:43
  WIX
• 30:43
  for
• 30:44
  my
• 30:44
  website.
• 30:45
  I
• 30:45
  knew
• 30:46
  I
• 30:46
  wanted
• 30:46
  the
• 30:46
  website
• 30:46
  to
• 30:47
  look
• 30:47
  different
• 30:47
  than
• 30:47
  my
• 30:48
  current
• 30:48
  business
• 30:49
  one.
• 30:50
  So
• 30:50
  I
• 30:51
  chose
• 30:51
  to
• 30:51
  reach
• 30:51
  out
• 30:52
  to
• 30:52
  a
• 30:52
  company
• 30:52
  locally
• 30:53
  who
• 30:54
  does
• 30:54
  website
• 30:54
  development.
• 30:56
  The
• 30:56
  gentleman
• 30:56
  who
• 30:56
  runs
• 30:57
  that
• 30:57
  company
• 30:57
  suggested
• 30:58
  I
• 30:58
  use
• 30:58
  a
• 30:58
  different
• 30:58
  platform
• 30:59
  than
• 30:59
  wix.
• 30:59
  And
• 30:59
  I
• 30:59
  was
• 31:00
  like,
• 31:00
  hey,
• 31:00
  I
• 31:00
  really
• 31:01
  like
• 31:01
  wix.
• 31:01
  It's
• 31:02
  inexpensive.
• 31:03
  I
• 31:03
  can,
• 31:04
  it's
• 31:04
  user
• 31:04
  friendly
• 31:05
  to
• 31:05
  me
• 31:05
  because
• 31:05
  I'm
• 31:05
  familiar
• 31:06
  with
• 31:06
  it,
• 31:06
  right?
• 31:07
  And
• 31:07
  he's
• 31:07
  like,
• 31:07
  all
• 31:07
  right.
• 31:07
  He's
• 31:08
  giving
• 31:08
  me
• 31:08
  an
• 31:08
  opportunity.
• 31:09
  Maybe
• 31:09
  they've
• 31:10
  done
• 31:10
  a
• 31:10
  lot
• 31:10
  of
• 31:10
  updates
• 31:10
  since
• 31:11
  I've
• 31:11
  been
• 31:11
  in
• 31:11
  their
• 31:11
  last
• 31:12
  and
• 31:12
  he
• 31:13
  hadn't
• 31:13
  been
• 31:13
  in
• 31:13
  there
• 31:14
  a
• 31:14
  lot
• 31:14
  since
• 31:14
  they've
• 31:14
  done
• 31:14
  a
• 31:15
  shop.
• 31:15
  Right,
• 31:15
  the
• 31:16
  store.
• 31:16
  Cause
• 31:16
  he
• 31:16
  was
• 31:16
  thinking
• 31:17
  about
• 31:18
  was
• 31:18
  it
• 31:18
  Shopify
• 31:19
  or
• 31:19
  GoDaddy
• 31:19
  or
• 31:20
  other
• 31:20
  stuff.
• 31:21
  There's
• 31:22
  lots
• 31:22
  of
• 31:22
  them
• 31:23
  for
• 31:23
  sure.
• 31:24
  Yeah.
• 31:24
  And
• 31:24
  so
• 31:24
  he
• 31:24
  got
• 31:25
  into
• 31:25
  WIX
• 31:25
  and
• 31:25
  he's
• 31:25
  hey,
• 31:25
  they've
• 31:26
  done
• 31:26
  a
• 31:26
  lot
• 31:26
  of
• 31:26
  really
• 31:26
  good
• 31:26
  updates.
• 31:27
  And
• 31:27
  he's
• 31:27
  like,
• 31:27
  all
• 31:27
  right.
• 31:27
  He's
• 31:28
  we'll
• 31:28
  do
• 31:28
  wix
• 31:28
  because.
• 31:29
  Cause
• 31:29
  this
• 31:29
  is
• 31:29
  what
• 31:29
  you
• 31:29
  want.
• 31:30
  He
• 31:30
  was
• 31:30
  great
• 31:31
  to
• 31:31
  work
• 31:31
  with.
• 31:32
  And
• 31:33
  I
• 31:33
  just,
• 31:34
  I
• 31:34
  was
• 31:34
  like,
• 31:34
  I
• 31:34
  want
• 31:34
  it,
• 31:35
  I
• 31:35
  want
• 31:35
  it
• 31:35
  modern
• 31:36
  and
• 31:36
  sleek.
• 31:36
  I
• 31:37
  don't
• 31:37
  like
• 31:37
  clutter.
• 31:39
  And
• 31:39
  so
• 31:39
  he
• 31:39
  just
• 31:39
  rolled
• 31:40
  with
• 31:40
  it
• 31:40
  and
• 31:40
  he
• 31:41
  did
• 31:41
  a
• 31:41
  great
• 31:41
  job.
• 31:42
  It's
• 31:42
  nice
• 31:42
  because
• 31:43
  that's
• 31:43
  again
• 31:44
  for
• 31:44
  people
• 31:44
  to
• 31:44
  know
• 31:45
  that
• 31:45
  there's
• 31:45
  all
• 31:46
  kinds
• 31:46
  of
• 31:46
  different
• 31:46
  options
• 31:47
  available.
• 31:48
  And
• 31:49
  to
• 31:49
  you
• 31:49
  and
• 31:51
  to
• 31:51
  your
• 31:52
  point,
• 31:53
  this
• 31:53
  software
• 31:54
  is
• 31:54
  so
• 31:54
  rapidly
• 31:55
  changing
• 31:56
  so
• 31:56
  that
• 31:57
  if
• 31:57
  you
• 31:57
  used
• 31:57
  a
• 31:58
  service
• 31:59
  in
• 31:59
  the
• 31:59
  past
• 31:59
  and
• 32:00
  you
• 32:00
  thought
• 32:00
  oh
• 32:00
  my
• 32:00
  God,
• 32:01
  it's
• 32:01
  clunky
• 32:02
  or
• 32:02
  I
• 32:03
  don't
• 32:03
  get
• 32:03
  it
• 32:03
  or
• 32:03
  whatever.
• 32:04
  Don't
• 32:05
  be
• 32:05
  afraid
• 32:05
  to
• 32:06
  check.
• 32:07
  Yeah.
• 32:08
  And
• 32:08
  have
• 32:08
  another
• 32:08
  look
• 32:09
  because
• 32:10
  boy,
• 32:10
  I'll
• 32:10
  tell
• 32:10
  you
• 32:11
  every
• 32:11
  time
• 32:11
  you
• 32:11
  turn
• 32:11
  around.
• 32:12
  Actually
• 32:12
  I
• 32:12
  don't
• 32:13
  know
• 32:13
  about
• 32:13
  you,
• 32:13
  but
• 32:13
  sometimes
• 32:14
  I
• 32:14
  think,
• 32:15
  do
• 32:15
  you
• 32:15
  have
• 32:15
  to
• 32:15
  make
• 32:15
  another
• 32:16
  update?
• 32:17
  Like
• 32:17
  it's
• 32:18
  almost
• 32:18
  like
• 32:18
  Apple.
• 32:19
  I
• 32:19
  don't
• 32:19
  know
• 32:19
  if
• 32:19
  you
• 32:20
  have
• 32:20
  Apple
• 32:21
  products,
• 32:21
  there's
• 32:22
  constantly
• 32:22
  an
• 32:22
  update
• 32:23
  coming
• 32:23
  at
• 32:23
  you
• 32:24
  and
• 32:24
  I'm
• 32:24
  still
• 32:25
  trying
• 32:25
  to
• 32:25
  learn
• 32:25
  the
• 32:25
  last
• 32:26
  update
• 32:26
  and
• 32:26
  another
• 32:27
  one
• 32:27
  comes
• 32:27
  at
• 32:27
  you.
• 32:28
  So
• 32:28
  it's
• 32:28
  interesting.
• 32:29
  Just
• 32:29
  seems
• 32:30
  to
• 32:30
  be
• 32:30
  the
• 32:30
  way
• 32:30
  technology
• 32:31
  is
• 32:31
  going
• 32:31
  now.
• 32:32
  Yeah.
• 32:32
  And
• 32:32
  it's
• 32:32
  neat
• 32:33
  with
• 32:33
  wix
• 32:33
  for
• 32:33
  me.
• 32:34
  Working
• 32:34
  with
• 32:35
  a
• 32:35
  gentleman.
• 32:35
  He
• 32:35
  created
• 32:35
  the
• 32:35
  website,
• 32:36
  it
• 32:36
  was
• 32:36
  a
• 32:36
  one
• 32:36
  time
• 32:37
  deal
• 32:37
  and
• 32:37
  I
• 32:37
  do
• 32:37
  all
• 32:38
  the
• 32:38
  maintenance
• 32:38
  on
• 32:38
  my
• 32:38
  website
• 32:39
  now.
• 32:39
  So
• 32:39
  there's
• 32:40
  a
• 32:40
  change
• 32:40
  on
• 32:40
  the
• 32:40
  page,
• 32:40
  I
• 32:40
  do
• 32:40
  it,
• 32:41
  I
• 32:41
  add
• 32:41
  my
• 32:41
  events,
• 32:42
  they
• 32:43
  come
• 32:43
  off
• 32:43
  on
• 32:43
  schedule.
• 32:44
  It's
• 32:45
  easy.
• 32:46
  So
• 32:46
  Cody,
• 32:46
  you're
• 32:47
  the
• 32:47
  distributor
• 32:47
  of
• 32:48
  your
• 32:48
  shop.
• 32:49
  When
• 32:49
  people
• 32:49
  place
• 32:50
  an
• 32:50
  order,
• 32:51
  you're
• 32:51
  the
• 32:51
  one
• 32:52
  putting
• 32:52
  the
• 32:53
  order
• 32:53
  together
• 32:53
  and
• 32:54
  mailing
• 32:55
  it
• 32:55
  out.
• 32:55
  Yeah.
• 32:56
  So
• 32:56
  if
• 32:56
  they
• 32:56
  purchase
• 32:57
  books
• 32:57
  from
• 32:57
  my
• 32:57
  website.
• 32:58
  Yes,
• 32:58
  I
• 32:58
  have
• 32:58
  books
• 32:59
  on
• 32:59
  hand.
• 32:59
  I
• 33:00
  try
• 33:00
  to
• 33:00
  encourage
• 33:00
  people
• 33:00
  to
• 33:00
  come
• 33:01
  through
• 33:02
  me
• 33:02
  personally
• 33:03
  as
• 33:03
  opposed
• 33:03
  to
• 33:03
  anywhere
• 33:03
  else
• 33:04
  only
• 33:04
  because
• 33:04
  one
• 33:05
  my
• 33:05
  helps
• 33:05
  my
• 33:05
  profit
• 33:06
  margins.
• 33:06
  But
• 33:06
  I
• 33:06
  can
• 33:07
  actually
• 33:07
  sign
• 33:07
  the
• 33:07
  books
• 33:08
  and
• 33:08
  make
• 33:08
  them
• 33:08
  out
• 33:08
  to
• 33:08
  whomever
• 33:09
  you'd
• 33:09
  like
• 33:09
  them
• 33:09
  to.
• 33:10
  It
• 33:10
  can
• 33:10
  be
• 33:10
  more
• 33:10
  personalized
• 33:11
  for
• 33:11
  sure.
• 33:11
  But
• 33:12
  yes,
• 33:12
  I
• 33:12
  do
• 33:12
  all
• 33:12
  my
• 33:12
  books,
• 33:13
  my
• 33:13
  T
• 33:13
  shirts,
• 33:13
  everything.
• 33:14
  When
• 33:14
  I
• 33:14
  was
• 33:15
  looking
• 33:15
  at
• 33:15
  your
• 33:15
  website,
• 33:15
  I
• 33:16
  was
• 33:16
  wondering,
• 33:16
  I
• 33:17
  didn't
• 33:17
  see
• 33:17
  a
• 33:17
  bundle
• 33:18
  pricing.
• 33:20
  Have
• 33:20
  you
• 33:20
  ever
• 33:20
  thought
• 33:20
  about
• 33:21
  doing
• 33:21
  a
• 33:21
  bundle?
• 33:22
  I
• 33:22
  have.
• 33:23
  Oh,
• 33:23
  okay.
• 33:23
  So
• 33:24
  I.
• 33:24
  And
• 33:25
  I'm
• 33:25
  not
• 33:25
  interested
• 33:26
  in
• 33:26
  a
• 33:26
  bundle
• 33:26
  at
• 33:27
  this
• 33:27
  point.
• 33:27
  Okay.
• 33:28
  Potentially
• 33:28
  when
• 33:29
  book
• 33:29
  three
• 33:29
  comes
• 33:29
  out,
• 33:29
  I'll
• 33:30
  look
• 33:30
  at
• 33:30
  a
• 33:30
  bundle.
• 33:31
  The
• 33:31
  only
• 33:31
  reason
• 33:31
  I'm
• 33:32
  asking
• 33:32
  is
• 33:32
  I
• 33:32
  thought,
• 33:33
  you
• 33:33
  know,
• 33:33
  what
• 33:33
  with
• 33:33
  such
• 33:34
  a
• 33:34
  cool
• 33:34
  logo,
• 33:35
  with
• 33:35
  such
• 33:35
  a
• 33:35
  cool
• 33:35
  name,
• 33:36
  you
• 33:36
  could
• 33:37
  almost
• 33:38
  print
• 33:38
  a
• 33:38
  bundle
• 33:39
  box
• 33:40
  fairly
• 33:40
  inexpensively
• 33:41
  but
• 33:41
  still
• 33:42
  look
• 33:42
  cool.
• 33:43
  And
• 33:44
  put
• 33:44
  a,
• 33:46
  a
• 33:46
  bundle
• 33:46
  of
• 33:46
  products
• 33:47
  together
• 33:47
  so
• 33:47
  that
• 33:47
  somebody
• 33:48
  says,
• 33:48
  okay,
• 33:48
  they
• 33:48
  come
• 33:49
  in,
• 33:49
  they
• 33:49
  push
• 33:49
  one
• 33:50
  button
• 33:50
  and
• 33:50
  for
• 33:51
  39.95
• 33:52
  or
• 33:52
  whatever,
• 33:53
  they
• 33:53
  got
• 33:53
  this
• 33:54
  magic
• 33:54
  bundle
• 33:55
  coming
• 33:55
  in.
• 33:55
  Yep.
• 33:56
  Okay.
• 33:56
  Yeah,
• 33:57
  I'm
• 33:57
  thinking
• 33:58
  it's
• 33:58
  in
• 33:58
  the
• 33:58
  works.
• 33:59
  I
• 33:59
  just,
• 33:59
  I'm
• 33:59
  not
• 33:59
  ready
• 34:00
  to
• 34:00
  do
• 34:00
  that
• 34:00
  just
• 34:00
  yet.
• 34:01
  I
• 34:01
  always
• 34:01
  think
• 34:01
  about
• 34:02
  motivation
• 34:03
  with
• 34:04
  the
• 34:04
  children's
• 34:04
  book
• 34:05
  author.
• 34:05
  I
• 34:05
  know
• 34:06
  that
• 34:06
  with
• 34:06
  your
• 34:06
  background
• 34:07
  and
• 34:07
  Hilo
• 34:08
  girls,
• 34:08
  but
• 34:08
  was
• 34:08
  there
• 34:09
  a
• 34:09
  specific
• 34:10
  person
• 34:11
  or
• 34:11
  event
• 34:12
  that
• 34:12
  you
• 34:13
  said,
• 34:13
  oh
• 34:13
  my
• 34:14
  goodness,
• 34:14
  I
• 34:15
  can
• 34:15
  be
• 34:15
  a
• 34:16
  children's
• 34:16
  book
• 34:16
  author
• 34:17
  or
• 34:17
  I
• 34:17
  want
• 34:18
  to
• 34:18
  be
• 34:18
  a
• 34:18
  children's
• 34:19
  book
• 34:19
  author.
• 34:20
  Who
• 34:20
  was
• 34:20
  that?
• 34:21
  Or
• 34:21
  what
• 34:21
  was
• 34:21
  that
• 34:21
  event
• 34:22
  that
• 34:22
  kind
• 34:22
  of
• 34:22
  motivated
• 34:23
  you
• 34:23
  to
• 34:24
  take
• 34:24
  charge
• 34:25
  and
• 34:25
  jump
• 34:25
  In.
• 34:26
  Yeah,
• 34:27
  I
• 34:27
  don't
• 34:27
  know
• 34:27
  if
• 34:27
  I
• 34:28
  have
• 34:28
  that
• 34:28
  type
• 34:28
  of
• 34:29
  specific
• 34:30
  event.
• 34:31
  I
• 34:31
  just
• 34:31
  love
• 34:31
  helicopters
• 34:32
  so
• 34:33
  much
• 34:34
  that
• 34:34
  I
• 34:34
  want
• 34:34
  to
• 34:35
  share
• 34:35
  them.
• 34:36
  Okay.
• 34:36
  And
• 34:36
  I
• 34:36
  want
• 34:36
  to
• 34:37
  share
• 34:37
  the
• 34:37
  joy.
• 34:38
  Maybe
• 34:39
  I
• 34:39
  just
• 34:39
  think
• 34:39
  back
• 34:39
  to
• 34:40
  my
• 34:40
  own
• 34:40
  children.
• 34:40
  I
• 34:41
  have
• 34:41
  pictures
• 34:41
  of
• 34:41
  my
• 34:41
  daughter
• 34:42
  in
• 34:42
  front
• 34:42
  of
• 34:42
  helicopters,
• 34:43
  tons
• 34:43
  of
• 34:43
  helicopters
• 34:44
  on
• 34:44
  a
• 34:44
  flight
• 34:44
  line,
• 34:45
  and
• 34:46
  just
• 34:46
  wanting
• 34:46
  to
• 34:46
  share
• 34:46
  that
• 34:46
  joy
• 34:47
  with
• 34:47
  her.
• 34:47
  And
• 34:48
  when
• 34:48
  my
• 34:48
  son
• 34:48
  looks
• 34:48
  up
• 34:49
  and
• 34:49
  points
• 34:49
  at
• 34:49
  a
• 34:49
  helicopter
• 34:50
  and
• 34:50
  would
• 34:50
  say
• 34:51
  something,
• 34:51
  I
• 34:51
  want
• 34:51
  him
• 34:51
  to
• 34:52
  know
• 34:52
  where
• 34:52
  that
• 34:52
  helicopter
• 34:52
  is
• 34:53
  going,
• 34:53
  what
• 34:53
  it's
• 34:53
  doing,
• 34:54
  and
• 34:54
  who
• 34:54
  it's
• 34:54
  helping.
• 34:55
  The
• 34:55
  recent
• 34:55
  fires
• 34:56
  in
• 34:56
  California,
• 34:57
  I
• 34:57
  want
• 34:57
  kids
• 34:58
  to
• 34:58
  know
• 34:58
  if
• 34:58
  they
• 34:59
  have
• 34:59
  to
• 34:59
  flee
• 34:59
  their
• 34:59
  home,
• 35:00
  that
• 35:00
  there
• 35:00
  are
• 35:00
  people
• 35:01
  working
• 35:01
  to
• 35:01
  save
• 35:02
  their
• 35:02
  homes
• 35:02
  and
• 35:02
  their
• 35:02
  communities.
• 35:03
  And
• 35:04
  so
• 35:05
  I
• 35:05
  don't
• 35:05
  have
• 35:05
  a
• 35:05
  particular
• 35:06
  event.
• 35:06
  I
• 35:06
  have
• 35:06
  this
• 35:07
  visceral
• 35:08
  in
• 35:08
  my
• 35:08
  heart
• 35:08
  and
• 35:09
  in
• 35:09
  my
• 35:09
  gut
• 35:10
  pull
• 35:11
  that
• 35:11
  is
• 35:12
  just.
• 35:12
  It
• 35:12
  pulls
• 35:12
  at
• 35:13
  me.
• 35:13
  I
• 35:13
  spend
• 35:14
  a
• 35:14
  lot
• 35:15
  of
• 35:15
  time
• 35:15
  on.
• 35:15
  On
• 35:16
  this.
• 35:16
  It's
• 35:16
  not.
• 35:17
  It's
• 35:18
  not
• 35:18
  off
• 35:18
  the
• 35:18
  cuff.
• 35:18
  It
• 35:18
  is
• 35:19
  very
• 35:19
  strategic,
• 35:19
  is
• 35:20
  very
• 35:20
  thoughtful.
• 35:22
  Because
• 35:22
  you
• 35:22
  know
• 35:22
  what?

  I

• 35:31
  You

  you
• 36:10
  look
• 36:11
  at

  Canada,
• 36:16
  it's
• 36:17
  just.
• 36:17
  It's
• 36:17
  unbelievable.
• 36:18
  It's
• 36:19
  really
• 36:19
  important
• 36:19
  to
• 36:20
  take
• 36:20
  some
• 36:20
  of
• 36:20
  the.
• 36:22
  I
• 36:22
  don't
• 36:23
  want
• 36:23
  to
• 36:23
  say
• 36:23
  mystique,
• 36:24
  so
• 36:24
  people
• 36:24
  have
• 36:24
  a
• 36:25
  better
• 36:25
  understanding.
• 36:26
  Talk
• 36:27
  to
• 36:27
  us
• 36:27
  about.
• 36:28
  Now
• 36:28
  that
• 36:28
  you've
• 36:28
  got
• 36:29
  two
• 36:29
  books
• 36:30
  about
• 36:30
  to
• 36:30
  have
• 36:30
  a
• 36:30
  third
• 36:30
  one,
• 36:31
  and
• 36:31
  each
• 36:32
  book
• 36:32
  has
• 36:32
  a
• 36:33
  different
• 36:33
  main
• 36:33
  character.
• 36:34
  Talk
• 36:34
  to
• 36:34
  us
• 36:34
  about
• 36:35
  character
• 36:35
  development.
• 36:36
  So
• 36:36
  take
• 36:36
  us
• 36:36
  from
• 36:37
  your
• 36:37
  first
• 36:37
  book
• 36:37
  to
• 36:38
  your
• 36:38
  second
• 36:38
  book.
• 36:39
  And
• 36:39
  I'm
• 36:39
  assuming
• 36:40
  your
• 36:40
  third
• 36:40
  book
• 36:40
  will
• 36:41
  have
• 36:41
  a
• 36:41
  different
• 36:42
  main
• 36:42
  character.
• 36:43
  Yep.
• 36:44
  Yeah.
• 36:45
  I
• 36:45
  want
• 36:46
  young.
• 36:47
  The
• 36:47
  young
• 36:47
  kids
• 36:47
  to
• 36:48
  see
• 36:48
  themselves.
• 36:50
  And
• 36:50
  so
• 36:50
  it's
• 36:50
  hard
• 36:50
  to
• 36:51
  do
• 36:51
  that
• 36:51
  with
• 36:51
  just
• 36:51
  one.
• 36:52
  One
• 36:52
  character.
• 36:53
  I
• 36:53
  do
• 36:53
  often
• 36:53
  get
• 36:54
  asked
• 36:54
  because
• 36:54
  if
• 36:54
  you
• 36:54
  look
• 36:55
  at
• 36:55
  Abby
• 36:55
  has
• 36:56
  a
• 36:56
  little
• 36:56
  bit
• 36:56
  of
• 36:56
  blonde
• 36:57
  strawberry
• 36:57
  hair,
• 36:58
  everyone
• 36:58
  always
• 36:58
  asks,
• 36:59
  like,
• 36:59
  oh,
• 36:59
  is
• 36:59
  this
• 36:59
  you?
• 36:59
  I'm
• 37:00
  like,
• 37:00
  no,
• 37:00
  it's
• 37:00
  not
• 37:00
  me.
• 37:01
  I
• 37:01
  definitely
• 37:01
  did
• 37:01
  not
• 37:02
  want
• 37:02
  the
• 37:02
  character
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  be
• 37:03
  me,
• 37:03
  and
• 37:04
  some
• 37:04
  people
• 37:04
  find
• 37:04
  that
• 37:04
  surprising.
• 37:05
  But
• 37:05
  the
• 37:06
  book's
• 37:06
  not
• 37:06
  about
• 37:06
  me.
• 37:07
  Might
• 37:07
  be
• 37:07
  about
• 37:08
  my
• 37:08
  love
• 37:08
  for
• 37:08
  helicopters,
• 37:09
  but
• 37:09
  it's
• 37:09
  not
• 37:09
  about
• 37:09
  me.
• 37:09
  But
• 37:09
  I
• 37:10
  will
• 37:10
  say
• 37:10
  my
• 37:10
  daughter,
• 37:11
  she's
• 37:11
  blonde
• 37:11
  hair,
• 37:11
  blue
• 37:12
  eyed,
• 37:13
  and
• 37:13
  she
• 37:13
  took
• 37:13
  a
• 37:13
  selfie
• 37:14
  and
• 37:14
  she
• 37:14
  had
• 37:14
  some
• 37:15
  sort
• 37:15
  of
• 37:15
  Disney
• 37:16
  filter
• 37:16
  on
• 37:16
  it,
• 37:17
  and
• 37:17
  it
• 37:17
  changed
• 37:18
  her
• 37:18
  hair
• 37:18
  so
• 37:18
  it
• 37:19
  looked
• 37:19
  more
• 37:19
  blonde
• 37:19
  on
• 37:19
  the
• 37:19
  top.
• 37:20
  And
• 37:20
  did
• 37:20
  that
• 37:20
  fade
• 37:21
  to
• 37:21
  red
• 37:21
  and
• 37:21
  it
• 37:21
  changed
• 37:21
  her
• 37:22
  eyes
• 37:22
  to
• 37:22
  green.
• 37:22
  And
• 37:22
  I
• 37:22
  just
• 37:22
  thought
• 37:22
  it
• 37:22
  was
• 37:23
  a
• 37:23
  cute
• 37:23
  picture.
• 37:23
  And
• 37:24
  so
• 37:24
  I
• 37:24
  sent
• 37:24
  that
• 37:24
  to
• 37:24
  the
• 37:25
  illustrator
• 37:25
  and
• 37:25
  I
• 37:25
  was
• 37:25
  like,
• 37:26
  I
• 37:26
  want
• 37:26
  that
• 37:27
  first
• 37:27
  character
• 37:27
  to
• 37:27
  look
• 37:27
  something
• 37:28
  like
• 37:28
  this,
• 37:28
  not
• 37:29
  Disney.
• 37:29
  I
• 37:29
  didn't
• 37:29
  want
• 37:29
  the
• 37:29
  Disney
• 37:30
  look,
• 37:30
  though.
• 37:30
  I
• 37:31
  wanted
• 37:31
  to
• 37:31
  get
• 37:31
  away
• 37:31
  from
• 37:32
  the
• 37:32
  Disney
• 37:32
  look.
• 37:33
  And
• 37:33
  so
• 37:33
  that's
• 37:33
  where
• 37:33
  she
• 37:34
  came
• 37:34
  up
• 37:34
  with
• 37:34
  Abby.
• 37:35
  And
• 37:36
  why
• 37:36
  the
• 37:36
  name
• 37:36
  Abby?
• 37:37
  I
• 37:37
  have
• 37:37
  literally
• 37:38
  no
• 37:38
  idea.
• 37:38
  I
• 37:39
  just.
• 37:40
  I
• 37:40
  just
• 37:40
  liked
• 37:41
  it.
• 37:41
  I
• 37:41
  like
• 37:41
  the
• 37:41
  name
• 37:41
  Abigail.
• 37:42
  I
• 37:42
  like
• 37:42
  that
• 37:43
  you
• 37:43
  can
• 37:43
  shorten
• 37:43
  it.
• 37:43
  So
• 37:44
  kids
• 37:44
  could
• 37:44
  say
• 37:45
  Abigail,
• 37:45
  but
• 37:46
  it
• 37:46
  could
• 37:46
  be
• 37:46
  shortened
• 37:47
  for
• 37:47
  an
• 37:47
  easier
• 37:47
  name.
• 37:48
  When
• 37:49
  my
• 37:49
  first
• 37:50
  granddaughter
• 37:51
  was
• 37:52
  going
• 37:52
  to
• 37:52
  be
• 37:52
  born,
• 37:53
  my
• 37:53
  daughter
• 37:54
  was
• 37:54
  trying
• 37:54
  to
• 37:54
  pick
• 37:55
  a
• 37:55
  name
• 37:56
  and
• 37:56
  she
• 37:57
  shared
• 37:57
  the
• 37:57
  name
• 37:57
  and
• 37:58
  it
• 37:59
  was
• 37:59
  going
• 37:59
  to
• 37:59
  be
• 37:59
  Abby,
• 38:01
  but
• 38:02
  it
• 38:02
  actually
• 38:02
  ended
• 38:03
  up
• 38:03
  being
• 38:03
  Kira.
• 38:04
  But
• 38:04
  what
• 38:04
  was
• 38:05
  interesting
• 38:06
  is
• 38:06
  if
• 38:06
  you
• 38:07
  look
• 38:07
  at
• 38:07
  the
• 38:07
  at
• 38:08
  our
• 38:08
  book,
• 38:09
  it's
• 38:09
  Caboose,
• 38:10
  where
• 38:10
  the
• 38:10
  K
• 38:10
  stands
• 38:11
  for
• 38:11
  Kira.
• 38:12
  Okay,
• 38:12
  so
• 38:13
  this
• 38:13
  adventurer's
• 38:14
  book
• 38:14
  is
• 38:14
  actually
• 38:14
  Kira.
• 38:16
  And
• 38:16
  inside
• 38:17
  the
• 38:17
  book,
• 38:17
  there's.
• 38:18
  She
• 38:18
  goes
• 38:19
  on
• 38:19
  these
• 38:19
  adventures
• 38:19
  with
• 38:20
  her
• 38:20
  papa,
• 38:21
  which
• 38:21
  happens
• 38:22
  to
• 38:22
  be
• 38:22
  me.
• 38:23
  And
• 38:23
  I
• 38:23
  end
• 38:23
  up
• 38:23
  being
• 38:24
  a
• 38:24
  bear,
• 38:24
  but
• 38:24
  I'm
• 38:25
  not
• 38:25
  called
• 38:25
  Papa
• 38:26
  Rick
• 38:26
  in
• 38:27
  the
• 38:27
  story.
• 38:27
  What
• 38:28
  we
• 38:28
  did
• 38:28
  is
• 38:29
  we
• 38:29
  actually
• 38:30
  had
• 38:30
  visualized
• 38:31
  our
• 38:31
  character,
• 38:32
  but
• 38:33
  it
• 38:33
  took
• 38:33
  a
• 38:33
  trip
• 38:33
  to
• 38:34
  San
• 38:34
  Francisco
• 38:35
  and
• 38:35
  we
• 38:35
  went
• 38:36
  to
• 38:36
  one
• 38:36
  of
• 38:36
  those
• 38:36
  plushie
• 38:37
  stores
• 38:37
  or
• 38:37
  build
• 38:37
  a
• 38:38
  bear
• 38:38
  stores.
• 38:39
  And
• 38:39
  that's
• 38:39
  where
• 38:41
  we
• 38:41
  said,
• 38:41
  oh,
• 38:42
  my
• 38:42
  goodness,
• 38:42
  that's
• 38:43
  it.
• 38:43
  And
• 38:44
  we
• 38:44
  had
• 38:44
  the
• 38:45
  plushie
• 38:45
  made,
• 38:45
  brought
• 38:45
  it
• 38:46
  back
• 38:46
  home,
• 38:47
  I
• 38:47
  took
• 38:47
  a
• 38:47
  picture
• 38:47
  and
• 38:48
  I
• 38:48
  sent
• 38:48
  that
• 38:49
  picture
• 38:49
  to
• 38:49
  the
• 38:49
  illustrator
• 38:50
  and
• 38:50
  said,
• 38:50
  this
• 38:51
  is
• 38:51
  the
• 38:51
  main
• 38:52
  character.
• 38:52
  We
• 38:53
  need
• 38:53
  to
• 38:53
  build
• 38:54
  our
• 38:54
  story
• 38:55
  around
• 38:57
  your
• 38:57
  bear
• 38:58
  this.
• 38:58
  And
• 38:58
  so
• 38:58
  that
• 38:59
  in
• 38:59
  essence,
• 39:00
  similar
• 39:00
  to
• 39:00
  what
• 39:00
  you
• 39:00
  did,
• 39:01
  the
• 39:01
  picture
• 39:02
  of
• 39:02
  your
• 39:02
  daughter
• 39:03
  said,
• 39:03
  can
• 39:04
  you
• 39:04
  do
• 39:04
  this
• 39:04
  with
• 39:05
  Abby?
• 39:05
  That's
• 39:06
  what
• 39:06
  we
• 39:06
  did
• 39:06
  with
• 39:06
  Caboose.
• 39:08
  Yeah.
• 39:08
  And
• 39:08
  I'm
• 39:08
  also
• 39:09
  strategic.
• 39:09
  And
• 39:10
  it
• 39:10
  only
• 39:10
  happened
• 39:11
  by
• 39:11
  chance
• 39:11
  on
• 39:12
  Abby.
• 39:13
  But
• 39:13
  I've
• 39:13
  learned
• 39:14
  my
• 39:14
  lesson.
• 39:14
  I'm
• 39:15
  also
• 39:15
  now
• 39:15
  strategic
• 39:16
  on
• 39:17
  naming
• 39:18
  conventions
• 39:18
  moving
• 39:19
  forward.
• 39:19
  So
• 39:20
  Abby
• 39:20
  I
• 39:21
  found
• 39:21
  means
• 39:21
  look
• 39:22
  to
• 39:22
  the
• 39:22
  sky.
• 39:23
  So
• 39:23
  that
• 39:23
  actually
• 39:23
  is
• 39:23
  a
• 39:23
  cool
• 39:24
  name
• 39:24
  for
• 39:24
  Hilo
• 39:24
  girls.
• 39:25
  The
• 39:25
  second
• 39:26
  book
• 39:26
  is
• 39:27
  the
• 39:27
  Law
• 39:27
  Enforcement
• 39:27
  Pilot.
• 39:28
  And
• 39:28
  this
• 39:28
  is
• 39:28
  Selma.
• 39:30
  So
• 39:30
  what
• 39:30
  I
• 39:30
  like
• 39:31
  about
• 39:31
  Selma
• 39:32
  is
• 39:32
  it
• 39:32
  means
• 39:33
  peace
• 39:34
  and
• 39:34
  safety.
• 39:36
  So
• 39:36
  being
• 39:36
  a
• 39:36
  law
• 39:36
  Enforcement
• 39:37
  pilot.
• 39:38
  Having
• 39:38
  the
• 39:38
  name
• 39:38
  Peace
• 39:39
  and
• 39:39
  safety
• 39:39
  is
• 39:40
  super
• 39:40
  important.
• 39:41
  And
• 39:41
  I
• 39:41
  also
• 39:41
  wanted
• 39:42
  what
• 39:42
  I
• 39:42
  like
• 39:42
  about
• 39:42
  the
• 39:43
  name
• 39:43
  Selma.
• 39:43
  When
• 39:44
  you
• 39:44
  think
• 39:44
  about
• 39:44
  different
• 39:44
  cultures,
• 39:45
  you
• 39:45
  can
• 39:45
  have
• 39:45
  a
• 39:45
  name
• 39:46
  that
• 39:46
  could
• 39:46
  only
• 39:46
  apply
• 39:47
  to
• 39:47
  the
• 39:47
  upper
• 39:47
  echelon
• 39:48
  of
• 39:48
  a
• 39:48
  certain
• 39:48
  culture
• 39:49
  or
• 39:50
  a
• 39:50
  lower
• 39:50
  echelon.
• 39:51
  So
• 39:51
  I
• 39:51
  really
• 39:51
  wanted
• 39:52
  to
• 39:52
  pick
• 39:52
  a
• 39:52
  name
• 39:52
  that
• 39:52
  could
• 39:53
  resonate
• 39:54
  across
• 39:54
  the
• 39:54
  spectrum
• 39:55
  in
• 39:55
  certain
• 39:55
  groups.
• 39:56
  But
• 39:56
  I
• 39:56
  also
• 39:57
  wanted
• 39:57
  it
• 39:57
  to.
• 39:58
  Selma
• 39:59
  resonates
• 39:59
  with
• 39:59
  the
• 39:59
  Hispanic
• 40:00
  culture,
• 40:00
  a
• 40:01
  Brazilian
• 40:01
  culture,
• 40:02
  Colombian,
• 40:03
  so
• 40:04
  Spanish.
• 40:05
  I
• 40:05
  just
• 40:05
  really
• 40:05
  wanted
• 40:05
  something
• 40:05
  that
• 40:06
  was
• 40:06
  really
• 40:06
  broad
• 40:06
  and
• 40:07
  could
• 40:07
  reach
• 40:07
  more
• 40:07
  children.
• 40:08
  That's
• 40:09
  how
• 40:09
  Selma
• 40:09
  came
• 40:10
  along.
• 40:10
  And
• 40:11
  then
• 40:11
  for
• 40:11
  book
• 40:12
  three
• 40:12
  is
• 40:13
  Zuri,
• 40:13
  which
• 40:14
  is
• 40:14
  an
• 40:14
  eastern
• 40:14
  African
• 40:15
  name
• 40:15
  from
• 40:15
  Kenya,
• 40:16
  and
• 40:16
  it
• 40:16
  means
• 40:17
  beautiful.
• 40:18
  And
• 40:18
  I'm
• 40:19
  very
• 40:19
  excited
• 40:19
  about
• 40:19
  her.
• 40:20
  In
• 40:20
  fact,
• 40:20
  I
• 40:21
  even
• 40:21
  talked
• 40:21
  about
• 40:21
  her
• 40:21
  in
• 40:22
  the
• 40:22
  very
• 40:22
  back
• 40:23
  of
• 40:23
  this
• 40:23
  book,
• 40:23
  which
• 40:24
  was.
• 40:24
  Been
• 40:25
  in
• 40:25
  the
• 40:25
  works.
• 40:26
  It's
• 40:26
  been
• 40:26
  printed
• 40:26
  for
• 40:27
  a
• 40:27
  while,
• 40:27
  but
• 40:28
  so
• 40:28
  I'm
• 40:28
  really
• 40:28
  thoughtful.
• 40:28
  Even
• 40:29
  in
• 40:29
  book
• 40:29
  four,
• 40:29
  I
• 40:30
  already
• 40:30
  have
• 40:30
  the
• 40:30
  name
• 40:31
  picked
• 40:31
  out
• 40:31
  and
• 40:31
  what
• 40:32
  she's
• 40:32
  going
• 40:32
  to
• 40:32
  look
• 40:32
  like
• 40:33
  again
• 40:33
  for
• 40:34
  her
• 40:34
  culture
• 40:34
  and
• 40:35
  what
• 40:35
  her
• 40:35
  name
• 40:36
  will
• 40:36
  mean
• 40:36
  for
• 40:36
  her
• 40:36
  job.
• 40:37
  So
• 40:37
  very
• 40:38
  strategic
• 40:38
  on
• 40:38
  what
• 40:39
  they
• 40:39
  do
• 40:39
  in
• 40:39
  their
• 40:39
  book.
• 40:40
  What
• 40:40
  culture
• 40:41
  are
• 40:41
  they?
• 40:41
  And
• 40:42
  does
• 40:42
  the
• 40:42
  name
• 40:42
  match
• 40:44
  what
• 40:44
  they
• 40:44
  do?
• 40:44
  And
• 40:45
  can
• 40:45
  it
• 40:45
  resonate
• 40:45
  with
• 40:46
  the
• 40:46
  broad
• 40:46
  spectrum
• 40:47
  of
• 40:47
  their
• 40:47
  culture?
• 40:47
  And
• 40:48
  it's
• 40:48
  interesting
• 40:48
  you
• 40:48
  should
• 40:49
  say
• 40:49
  that
• 40:49
  because
• 40:49
  we've
• 40:50
  been
• 40:50
  strategic,
• 40:51
  too.
• 40:51
  Not
• 40:52
  as
• 40:52
  strategic
• 40:53
  as
• 40:53
  you
• 40:53
  have.
• 40:54
  What
• 40:54
  I
• 40:54
  say
• 40:54
  by
• 40:54
  that
• 40:55
  is
• 40:55
  that
• 40:55
  caboose.
• 40:56
  We
• 40:56
  pick
• 40:56
  caboose
• 40:57
  for
• 40:57
  a
• 40:57
  specific
• 40:58
  reason.
• 40:59
  And
• 40:59
  it
• 41:00
  all
• 41:00
  comes
• 41:01
  down
• 41:01
  to
• 41:02
  the
• 41:02
  caboose
• 41:03
  has
• 41:03
  disappeared
• 41:04
  from
• 41:05
  the
• 41:05
  end
• 41:05
  of
• 41:05
  a
• 41:05
  train.
• 41:06
  We've
• 41:06
  got
• 41:06
  a
• 41:06
  full
• 41:07
  generation
• 41:07
  of
• 41:08
  children
• 41:09
  that
• 41:09
  have
• 41:09
  no
• 41:09
  idea
• 41:09
  what
• 41:10
  a
• 41:10
  caboose
• 41:10
  is.
• 41:10
  They've
• 41:11
  never
• 41:11
  seen
• 41:11
  one.
• 41:12
  And
• 41:12
  so
• 41:13
  that
• 41:13
  was
• 41:13
  part
• 41:13
  of
• 41:14
  our
• 41:14
  idea,
• 41:14
  was
• 41:15
  to
• 41:15
  bring
• 41:16
  the
• 41:16
  word
• 41:16
  caboose
• 41:17
  back
• 41:17
  and
• 41:17
  have
• 41:17
  some
• 41:18
  fun
• 41:18
  with
• 41:18
  it.
• 41:18
  And
• 41:19
  for
• 41:19
  us
• 41:19
  also,
• 41:20
  because
• 41:20
  we're
• 41:20
  in
• 41:20
  the
• 41:21
  Rocky
• 41:21
  Mountains,
• 41:22
  it's
• 41:22
  all
• 41:22
  about
• 41:23
  adventure,
• 41:23
  outdoors
• 41:24
  and
• 41:25
  the
• 41:25
  wildlife.
• 41:26
  In
• 41:26
  our
• 41:26
  books,
• 41:27
  we
• 41:27
  have
• 41:28
  characters,
• 41:29
  people
• 41:30
  and
• 41:30
  wildlife
• 41:31
  and
• 41:31
  indigenous
• 41:32
  people
• 41:32
  all
• 41:33
  living
• 41:33
  together
• 41:33
  in
• 41:33
  a
• 41:34
  community.
• 41:34
  So
• 41:35
  in
• 41:35
  a
• 41:35
  way,
• 41:36
  strategic
• 41:36
  like
• 41:37
  you've
• 41:37
  done,
• 41:37
  and
• 41:37
  I'm
• 41:38
  glad
• 41:38
  you're
• 41:38
  sharing
• 41:38
  this
• 41:39
  because
• 41:39
  it
• 41:39
  gets
• 41:40
  other
• 41:40
  aspiring
• 41:41
  children's
• 41:42
  book
• 41:42
  authors
• 41:42
  to
• 41:42
  think
• 41:43
  about,
• 41:43
  oh,
• 41:44
  I
• 41:44
  can
• 41:45
  be
• 41:45
  strategic
• 41:46
  in
• 41:46
  the
• 41:46
  way
• 41:46
  I
• 41:46
  think
• 41:46
  about
• 41:47
  how
• 41:47
  I'm
• 41:48
  going
• 41:48
  to
• 41:48
  write
• 41:48
  my
• 41:48
  book.
• 41:49
  So
• 41:49
  thank
• 41:49
  you.
• 41:49
  Yeah,
• 41:49
  I
• 41:49
  think
• 41:50
  it's
• 41:50
  almost
• 41:50
  a
• 41:50
  necessity
• 41:51
  if
• 41:51
  you
• 41:51
  just
• 41:51
  do
• 41:51
  something
• 41:52
  off
• 41:52
  the
• 41:52
  cuff,
• 41:53
  and
• 41:53
  it
• 41:53
  depends
• 41:53
  what
• 41:54
  you
• 41:54
  want
• 41:54
  to
• 41:54
  do
• 41:54
  with
• 41:54
  it.
• 41:54
  If
• 41:55
  I
• 41:55
  want
• 41:55
  a
• 41:56
  branding
• 41:56
  series,
• 41:57
  I'm.
• 41:57
  I'm
• 41:57
  not
• 41:57
  just
• 41:58
  looking
• 41:58
  for
• 41:58
  one
• 41:58
  book
• 41:59
  and
• 41:59
  then
• 41:59
  a
• 42:00
  different
• 42:00
  type
• 42:00
  of
• 42:00
  book
• 42:00
  here
• 42:00
  and
• 42:01
  a
• 42:01
  different
• 42:01
  type
• 42:01
  of
• 42:01
  book
• 42:01
  here.
• 42:02
  I'm
• 42:02
  looking
• 42:02
  for
• 42:02
  A
• 42:03
  collection.
• 42:03
  And
• 42:03
  so
• 42:03
  I
• 42:04
  think
• 42:04
  strategy
• 42:04
  is
• 42:05
  necessary
• 42:05
  for
• 42:05
  that.
• 42:06
  If
• 42:06
  it
• 42:06
  is
• 42:07
  just
• 42:07
  one
• 42:07
  book
• 42:08
  and
• 42:08
  they're
• 42:08
  individualized,
• 42:09
  maybe
• 42:10
  strategy
• 42:10
  isn't
• 42:10
  just
• 42:11
  as
• 42:11
  necessary
• 42:12
  when
• 42:12
  it
• 42:12
  comes
• 42:12
  to
• 42:13
  that
• 42:13
  type
• 42:13
  of
• 42:13
  stuff.
• 42:14
  Now
• 42:14
  it
• 42:14
  will
• 42:14
  be
• 42:14
  for
• 42:14
  distribution
• 42:15
  and
• 42:16
  your
• 42:16
  selling
• 42:16
  points,
• 42:16
  but
• 42:17
  other
• 42:17
  than
• 42:17
  that.
• 42:18
  So
• 42:18
  I
• 42:18
  think
• 42:18
  it
• 42:18
  all
• 42:18
  depends
• 42:19
  also,
• 42:19
  what
• 42:19
  is
• 42:19
  your
• 42:19
  long
• 42:20
  term
• 42:20
  goal
• 42:20
  with
• 42:20
  it?
• 42:21
  For
• 42:21
  sure.
• 42:22
  Why
• 42:22
  are
• 42:22
  you
• 42:22
  doing
• 42:22
  it?
• 42:23
  I
• 42:23
  love
• 42:24
  you
• 42:24
  sharing
• 42:25
  your
• 42:25
  character
• 42:26
  development
• 42:26
  because
• 42:28
  it's
• 42:28
  very
• 42:28
  important
• 42:29
  that
• 42:29
  people
• 42:30
  understand
• 42:30
  that
• 42:31
  you
• 42:32
  can
• 42:32
  be
• 42:32
  strategic
• 42:33
  in
• 42:33
  the
• 42:33
  way
• 42:33
  you
• 42:33
  think
• 42:34
  of
• 42:34
  your
• 42:34
  characters.
• 42:35
  Talk
• 42:35
  to
• 42:36
  us
• 42:36
  a
• 42:36
  little
• 42:36
  bit
• 42:36
  with
• 42:37
  each
• 42:37
  book
• 42:37
  and
• 42:37
  how
• 42:38
  you
• 42:38
  shared
• 42:38
  it.
• 42:39
  Talk
• 42:39
  to
• 42:39
  us
• 42:39
  about
• 42:40
  the
• 42:40
  themes
• 42:41
  for
• 42:41
  each
• 42:42
  book.
• 42:42
  Tell
• 42:42
  us
• 42:43
  about
• 42:43
  how
• 42:43
  you
• 42:43
  came
• 42:43
  up
• 42:44
  with
• 42:44
  the
• 42:44
  idea
• 42:44
  for
• 42:45
  each
• 42:45
  theme.
• 42:46
  Yeah.
• 42:46
  So
• 42:46
  helicopters
• 42:47
  are
• 42:47
  so
• 42:48
  dynamic.
• 42:48
  Right.
• 42:48
  They
• 42:48
  can
• 42:48
  be
• 42:49
  used
• 42:49
  for
• 42:50
  any
• 42:50
  type
• 42:51
  of
• 42:51
  mission,
• 42:51
  really.
• 42:51
  Just
• 42:52
  a
• 42:52
  couple
• 42:52
  of
• 42:52
  different
• 42:52
  pieces
• 42:53
  of
• 42:53
  equipment
• 42:53
  here
• 42:53
  and
• 42:53
  there.
• 42:54
  But
• 42:55
  I
• 42:55
  want
• 42:55
  kids
• 42:55
  to
• 42:55
  understand
• 42:56
  how
• 42:56
  diverse
• 42:57
  helicopters
• 42:58
  are.
• 42:58
  So
• 42:59
  I
• 42:59
  thought
• 42:59
  let's
• 42:59
  break
• 42:59
  it
• 42:59
  down.
• 43:00
  And
• 43:00
  that's
• 43:00
  where
• 43:00
  each
• 43:01
  book
• 43:01
  is
• 43:01
  a
• 43:01
  separate
• 43:02
  mission.
• 43:02
  The
• 43:03
  first
• 43:03
  one,
• 43:03
  firefighting,
• 43:04
  law
• 43:04
  enforcement,
• 43:05
  air
• 43:05
  ambulance.
• 43:06
  I
• 43:06
  have
• 43:06
  about
• 43:06
  20
• 43:07
  titles
• 43:07
  planned
• 43:08
  on
• 43:08
  specific
• 43:09
  things
• 43:09
  that
• 43:09
  each
• 43:09
  that
• 43:10
  a
• 43:10
  helicopter
• 43:10
  can
• 43:11
  do.
• 43:11
  And
• 43:11
  again,
• 43:11
  it's
• 43:12
  only
• 43:12
  24
• 43:12
  pages,
• 43:13
  so
• 43:13
  it's
• 43:13
  not
• 43:14
  a
• 43:14
  lot
• 43:14
  of
• 43:14
  time
• 43:15
  and
• 43:15
  space
• 43:16
  to
• 43:16
  really
• 43:16
  immerse
• 43:17
  yourself
• 43:17
  in
• 43:17
  it.
• 43:17
  So
• 43:18
  it's
• 43:18
  just
• 43:18
  a
• 43:18
  quick
• 43:18
  snapshot.
• 43:19
  Hey,
• 43:19
  look
• 43:19
  at
• 43:19
  this.
• 43:19
  Helicopter
• 43:20
  is
• 43:20
  doing
• 43:20
  this
• 43:21
  thing
• 43:21
  and
• 43:21
  they're
• 43:21
  doing
• 43:21
  it
• 43:21
  safely
• 43:22
  and
• 43:22
  they're
• 43:22
  doing
• 43:22
  it
• 43:22
  as
• 43:22
  a
• 43:22
  team.
• 43:23
  Let's
• 43:23
  go
• 43:23
  to
• 43:24
  the
• 43:24
  next
• 43:24
  mission.
• 43:25
  Was
• 43:25
  there
• 43:25
  anything
• 43:26
  in
• 43:26
  your
• 43:26
  life
• 43:27
  or
• 43:27
  as
• 43:27
  you
• 43:28
  described,
• 43:28
  how
• 43:29
  are
• 43:29
  you
• 43:29
  coming
• 43:29
  up
• 43:29
  with
• 43:29
  these
• 43:30
  ideas
• 43:30
  for
• 43:30
  themes?
• 43:31
  You
• 43:31
  said
• 43:31
  you
• 43:31
  have
• 43:32
  about
• 43:32
  20
• 43:32
  of
• 43:32
  them
• 43:32
  now.
• 43:33
  How
• 43:33
  did
• 43:33
  you
• 43:33
  choose
• 43:34
  firefighting
• 43:35
  first
• 43:35
  and
• 43:35
  then
• 43:36
  law
• 43:36
  enforcement,
• 43:37
  then
• 43:37
  air
• 43:37
  ambulance.
• 43:38
  What's
• 43:38
  triggering
• 43:39
  all
• 43:39
  of
• 43:39
  this
• 43:39
  with
• 43:40
  these
• 43:40
  themes?
• 43:41
  Yeah.
• 43:41
  So
• 43:41
  the
• 43:42
  first
• 43:42
  four
• 43:42
  books
• 43:42
  are
• 43:43
  your
• 43:43
  main
• 43:43
  missions
• 43:44
  in
• 43:44
  helicopters.
• 43:45
  And
• 43:45
  so
• 43:45
  as
• 43:45
  we
• 43:46
  progress
• 43:47
  through
• 43:47
  the
• 43:48
  line,
• 43:49
  a
• 43:49
  lot
• 43:49
  more
• 43:49
  of
• 43:49
  this
• 43:49
  stuff
• 43:50
  will
• 43:50
  be
• 43:51
  more
• 43:51
  of
• 43:51
  the
• 43:51
  fun
• 43:51
  stuff.
• 43:52
  Let's
• 43:52
  say
• 43:52
  heli
• 43:52
  based
• 43:53
  jumping.
• 43:53
  Right.
• 43:55
  Most
• 43:55
  people
• 43:55
  won't
• 43:55
  know
• 43:56
  that
• 43:56
  you
• 43:56
  could
• 43:56
  do
• 43:56
  that
• 43:56
  with
• 43:56
  a
• 43:56
  helicopter,
• 43:57
  but
• 43:57
  a
• 43:57
  lot
• 43:57
  of
• 43:57
  people
• 43:57
  do.
• 43:58
  So
• 43:58
  there'll
• 43:59
  be
• 43:59
  those
• 43:59
  potentially
• 44:00
  down
• 44:00
  the
• 44:00
  line.
• 44:00
  Main
• 44:01
  four
• 44:01
  facets.
• 44:02
  One
• 44:02
  of
• 44:02
  the
• 44:02
  main
• 44:02
  things
• 44:03
  in
• 44:04
  in
• 44:04
  the
• 44:04
  Rocky
• 44:05
  Mountains
• 44:05
  besides
• 44:07
  heli
• 44:07
  skiing
• 44:08
  and
• 44:08
  stuff
• 44:08
  like
• 44:08
  that
• 44:09
  is
• 44:09
  actually
• 44:10
  taking
• 44:10
  tourists
• 44:11
  out.
• 44:12
  And
• 44:12
  one
• 44:13
  of
• 44:13
  my
• 44:13
  first
• 44:13
  experiences
• 44:14
  in
• 44:14
  a
• 44:14
  helicopter
• 44:15
  was
• 44:15
  actually
• 44:16
  I
• 44:16
  rode
• 44:17
  up
• 44:17
  front
• 44:17
  in
• 44:17
  a
• 44:17
  helicopter
• 44:18
  that
• 44:18
  had
• 44:18
  a
• 44:19
  bubble
• 44:19
  floor,
• 44:20
  so
• 44:20
  a
• 44:20
  clear
• 44:21
  floor.
• 44:22
  And
• 44:22
  they
• 44:22
  flew
• 44:23
  us
• 44:23
  right
• 44:23
  into
• 44:23
  the
• 44:23
  face
• 44:24
  of
• 44:24
  the
• 44:24
  mountains.
• 44:25
  And
• 44:25
  I
• 44:25
  just
• 44:25
  thought,
• 44:25
  oh
• 44:26
  my
• 44:26
  goodness.
• 44:26
  And
• 44:27
  then
• 44:27
  you
• 44:27
  have
• 44:27
  a
• 44:28
  totally
• 44:28
  different
• 44:28
  feel
• 44:29
  and
• 44:29
  you're
• 44:29
  able
• 44:30
  to
• 44:30
  see
• 44:30
  glaciers
• 44:31
  and
• 44:31
  it
• 44:31
  was
• 44:32
  pretty
• 44:32
  Incredible.
• 44:33
  And
• 44:33
  I
• 44:33
  see
• 44:34
  especially
• 44:35
  in
• 44:35
  the
• 44:35
  Rocky
• 44:35
  Mountains,
• 44:36
  helicopter
• 44:37
  tourism
• 44:37
  is
• 44:38
  a
• 44:38
  big
• 44:38
  thing
• 44:39
  taking
• 44:39
  people
• 44:39
  up.
• 44:39
  It
• 44:40
  is,
• 44:40
  Yep.
• 44:41
  It's
• 44:41
  phenomenal.
• 44:42
  So
• 44:42
  there
• 44:42
  you
• 44:42
  go.
• 44:43
  I
• 44:43
  hope.
• 44:44
  Hopefully
• 44:44
  that's
• 44:44
  one
• 44:44
  of
• 44:45
  your
• 44:45
  20.
• 44:46
  You're
• 44:46
  in
• 44:46
  the
• 44:46
  20s.
• 44:46
  Yep.
• 44:47
  Okay.
• 44:49
  Yeah.
• 44:49
  I
• 44:49
  like
• 44:50
  the
• 44:50
  public
• 44:50
  service
• 44:50
  side.
• 44:50
  I
• 44:51
  flew
• 44:51
  law
• 44:51
  enforcement,
• 44:51
  air
• 44:52
  ambulance,
• 44:52
  so
• 44:52
  this
• 44:52
  had
• 44:53
  to
• 44:53
  be
• 44:53
  up
• 44:53
  in
• 44:53
  the
• 44:53
  forefront.
• 44:54
  And
• 44:54
  I
• 44:54
  noticed
• 44:55
  central
• 44:55
  teaching.
• 44:56
  I
• 44:56
  want
• 44:56
  to
• 44:56
  talk
• 44:56
  to
• 44:56
  you
• 44:57
  a
• 44:57
  bit
• 44:57
  about
• 44:57
  that
• 44:57
  because
• 44:57
  I
• 44:57
  noticed
• 44:58
  you
• 44:58
  had
• 44:58
  a
• 44:59
  couple
• 44:59
  of
• 44:59
  acronyms
• 45:00
  like
• 45:00
  you
• 45:00
  said.
• 45:00
  You
• 45:01
  had
• 45:01
  pave,
• 45:01
  but
• 45:01
  you
• 45:02
  also
• 45:02
  had
• 45:02
  pilot
• 45:03
  and
• 45:03
  you
• 45:03
  also
• 45:04
  had
• 45:04
  steam.
• 45:05
  Talk
• 45:05
  to
• 45:05
  us
• 45:05
  about
• 45:06
  why
• 45:07
  it's
• 45:07
  important
• 45:07
  to
• 45:08
  you
• 45:08
  with
• 45:08
  that
• 45:08
  Central
• 45:09
  teaching
• 45:09
  or
• 45:10
  lessons
• 45:10
  through
• 45:11
  your
• 45:11
  books.
• 45:12
  I
• 45:13
  like
• 45:13
  the
• 45:13
  correlation.
• 45:13
  When
• 45:14
  I
• 45:14
  read
• 45:14
  with
• 45:14
  my
• 45:14
  children,
• 45:14
  I
• 45:15
  want
• 45:15
  to
• 45:15
  make
• 45:15
  sure
• 45:15
  they
• 45:15
  can
• 45:16
  understand
• 45:16
  what
• 45:17
  they're
• 45:17
  reading.
• 45:18
  The
• 45:18
  books
• 45:18
  are
• 45:18
  for
• 45:19
  ages
• 45:19
  4
• 45:19
  to
• 45:19
  8,
• 45:20
  but
• 45:20
  I'll
• 45:20
  tell
• 45:20
  you,
• 45:20
  it's
• 45:21
  for
• 45:21
  kids
• 45:21
  who
• 45:21
  are
• 45:21
  older
• 45:22
  too.
• 45:22
  There's
• 45:22
  some.
• 45:23
  There
• 45:23
  are
• 45:23
  good
• 45:23
  technical
• 45:24
  terms
• 45:24
  in
• 45:25
  there.
• 45:25
  There's
• 45:25
  technical
• 45:26
  concepts
• 45:27
  I
• 45:27
  think
• 45:27
  kids
• 45:27
  should
• 45:27
  always
• 45:28
  be
• 45:28
  learning.
• 45:28
  So
• 45:28
  I
• 45:28
  really
• 45:28
  like
• 45:29
  that.
• 45:29
  And
• 45:29
  then
• 45:29
  I
• 45:29
  work
• 45:30
  with
• 45:30
  an
• 45:30
  award
• 45:30
  winning
• 45:30
  STEM
• 45:31
  teacher
• 45:31
  on
• 45:32
  curriculum
• 45:32
  development.
• 45:33
  For
• 45:33
  each
• 45:33
  book,
• 45:34
  I
• 45:34
  don't
• 45:34
  know
• 45:34
  if
• 45:35
  you
• 45:35
  saw
• 45:35
  on
• 45:35
  the
• 45:35
  website,
• 45:36
  people
• 45:36
  can
• 45:37
  download
• 45:37
  it
• 45:37
  for
• 45:37
  free.
• 45:38
  If
• 45:38
  for
• 45:38
  book
• 45:39
  one,
• 45:39
  the
• 45:40
  firefighting
• 45:40
  pilots,
• 45:41
  there's
• 45:41
  a
• 45:41
  curriculum
• 45:42
  that
• 45:43
  kids
• 45:43
  can
• 45:43
  learn
• 45:44
  to
• 45:44
  read.
• 45:45
  A
• 45:45
  compass,
• 45:46
  tell
• 45:46
  cardinal
• 45:47
  direction
• 45:47
  where
• 45:48
  the
• 45:48
  wind
• 45:48
  is
• 45:48
  coming
• 45:49
  from,
• 45:49
  and
• 45:49
  they
• 45:49
  actually
• 45:49
  build
• 45:50
  a
• 45:50
  wind
• 45:50
  sock.
• 45:51
  Yeah,
• 45:52
  it's
• 45:52
  really
• 45:52
  neat.
• 45:52
  I've
• 45:53
  tested
• 45:53
  it
• 45:53
  at
• 45:54
  schools
• 45:54
  in
• 45:54
  Pennsylvania,
• 45:55
  Kansas,
• 45:55
  California,
• 45:56
  and
• 45:56
  here
• 45:56
  in
• 45:56
  Florida.
• 45:57
  I'm
• 45:58
  hoping
• 45:58
  at
• 45:58
  the
• 45:58
  next
• 45:59
  school
• 45:59
  year
• 45:59
  here
• 45:59
  in
• 46:00
  the
• 46:00
  county
• 46:00
  in
• 46:00
  which
• 46:00
  I
• 46:00
  live,
• 46:00
  it'll
• 46:01
  be
• 46:01
  in
• 46:01
  all
• 46:01
  the
• 46:01
  public
• 46:01
  schools.
• 46:03
  So
• 46:03
  it's.
• 46:03
  That's
• 46:04
  a
• 46:04
  lot
• 46:04
  of
• 46:04
  work
• 46:05
  as
• 46:05
  well.
• 46:05
  In
• 46:05
  the
• 46:05
  background
• 46:06
  that
• 46:06
  I'm
• 46:06
  doing,
• 46:07
  Megan
• 46:07
  and
• 46:07
  I
• 46:08
  are
• 46:08
  starting
• 46:09
  work
• 46:09
  on
• 46:09
  the
• 46:10
  law
• 46:10
  enforcement
• 46:10
  curriculum.
• 46:11
  So
• 46:11
  the
• 46:12
  students
• 46:12
  will
• 46:12
  build
• 46:13
  night
• 46:13
  vision
• 46:13
  goggles,
• 46:14
  which
• 46:14
  I'm
• 46:14
  really
• 46:15
  excited
• 46:15
  about.
• 46:16
  Wow.
• 46:16
  Each
• 46:16
  lesson
• 46:17
  plan
• 46:17
  will
• 46:17
  have
• 46:17
  a
• 46:17
  history
• 46:18
  section.
• 46:18
  So
• 46:18
  if
• 46:18
  you
• 46:19
  download
• 46:19
  the
• 46:19
  first
• 46:19
  one,
• 46:19
  you'll
• 46:20
  see
• 46:20
  that
• 46:20
  there's
• 46:20
  just
• 46:20
  a
• 46:20
  little
• 46:21
  brief
• 46:21
  history
• 46:21
  section
• 46:22
  on
• 46:22
  like
• 46:23
  women
• 46:23
  in
• 46:23
  aviation
• 46:24
  is
• 46:24
  helicopter
• 46:24
  specific.
• 46:25
  Things
• 46:26
  like
• 46:26
  that.
• 46:26
  Again,
• 46:27
  if
• 46:27
  you
• 46:27
  plant
• 46:27
  that
• 46:27
  seed
• 46:28
  early,
• 46:28
  kids
• 46:28
  will
• 46:29
  love
• 46:29
  the
• 46:29
  industry.
• 46:29
  And
• 46:29
  I
• 46:30
  don't
• 46:30
  mean
• 46:30
  they
• 46:30
  have
• 46:30
  to
• 46:30
  be
• 46:30
  a
• 46:30
  pilot.
• 46:31
  Maybe
• 46:31
  they
• 46:31
  love
• 46:32
  that.
• 46:32
  Maybe
• 46:32
  they
• 46:32
  love
• 46:33
  the
• 46:33
  ground
• 46:33
  law
• 46:33
  enforcement
• 46:34
  officer
• 46:34
  that's
• 46:34
  in
• 46:34
  the
• 46:34
  book.
• 46:35
  They're
• 46:35
  like,
• 46:35
  oh,
• 46:35
  man,
• 46:35
  I
• 46:35
  do
• 46:35
  want
• 46:35
  to
• 46:36
  be
• 46:36
  a
• 46:36
  police
• 46:36
  officer
• 46:36
  because
• 46:36
  I
• 46:37
  could
• 46:37
  work
• 46:37
  with
• 46:37
  airplane
• 46:38
  guys.
• 46:38
  I
• 46:38
  don't
• 46:38
  want
• 46:38
  to
• 46:38
  fly
• 46:39
  a
• 46:39
  helicopter
• 46:39
  or
• 46:40
  I
• 46:40
  want
• 46:40
  to
• 46:40
  be
• 46:40
  a
• 46:40
  ground
• 46:41
  firefighter.
• 46:41
  I'm
• 46:41
  not
• 46:41
  interested
• 46:42
  in
• 46:42
  flying
• 46:42
  the
• 46:42
  helicopter,
• 46:43
  but
• 46:43
  I
• 46:43
  didn't
• 46:43
  realize
• 46:43
  I
• 46:43
  could
• 46:44
  Work
• 46:44
  with
• 46:44
  them.
• 46:44
  It's
• 46:45
  just
• 46:45
  a
• 46:45
  great
• 46:45
  way
• 46:45
  to.
• 46:46
  To
• 46:46
  show
• 46:46
  the
• 46:46
  whole
• 46:47
  team
• 46:47
  collaborative
• 46:47
  and
• 46:48
  throw
• 46:48
  some
• 46:48
  education
• 46:48
  at
• 46:49
  it.
• 46:49
  Absolutely.
• 46:50
  And
• 46:51
  again,
• 46:51
  I
• 46:52
  love
• 46:52
  that
• 46:52
  part.
• 46:53
  On
• 46:53
  our
• 46:53
  website,
• 46:54
  we
• 46:54
  try
• 46:54
  and
• 46:55
  teach
• 46:55
  the
• 46:55
  art
• 46:56
  of
• 46:58
  creating
• 46:58
  a
• 46:58
  children's
• 46:59
  book.
• 46:59
  Create
• 47:00
  your
• 47:00
  own
• 47:00
  story,
• 47:00
  do
• 47:01
  your
• 47:01
  own
• 47:01
  illustrations.
• 47:02
  And
• 47:03
  recently
• 47:03
  I
• 47:04
  did
• 47:04
  a
• 47:04
  school
• 47:04
  visit
• 47:05
  and
• 47:05
  my
• 47:05
  audience
• 47:06
  was
• 47:06
  a
• 47:06
  little
• 47:06
  older
• 47:07
  than
• 47:07
  I
• 47:07
  normally
• 47:07
  talk
• 47:08
  to.
• 47:08
  And
• 47:09
  so
• 47:09
  the
• 47:09
  teacher
• 47:09
  had
• 47:10
  me
• 47:10
  talk
• 47:10
  about
• 47:11
  the
• 47:11
  art
• 47:12
  of
• 47:12
  storytelling
• 47:13
  because
• 47:13
  they
• 47:14
  were
• 47:14
  12
• 47:14
  year
• 47:15
  olds,
• 47:15
  so
• 47:16
  they
• 47:16
  wanted
• 47:17
  to
• 47:17
  know
• 47:17
  how
• 47:18
  did
• 47:18
  we
• 47:18
  put
• 47:18
  the
• 47:18
  book
• 47:19
  together,
• 47:19
  how
• 47:19
  did
• 47:19
  we
• 47:19
  write
• 47:20
  it,
• 47:20
  what
• 47:20
  was
• 47:20
  the
• 47:21
  process?
• 47:21
  And
• 47:22
  then
• 47:22
  alarm
• 47:22
  them.
• 47:23
  They
• 47:23
  love
• 47:23
  drawing
• 47:24
  so
• 47:24
  they
• 47:25
  didn't
• 47:25
  realize
• 47:25
  that
• 47:26
  there's
• 47:26
  a
• 47:26
  whole
• 47:26
  industry
• 47:27
  where
• 47:28
  they
• 47:28
  can
• 47:28
  be
• 47:28
  illustrators
• 47:29
  and
• 47:29
  illustrate
• 47:30
  all
• 47:30
  their
• 47:30
  lives
• 47:31
  as
• 47:31
  a
• 47:31
  career.
• 47:32
  Yeah,
• 47:32
  it's
• 47:33
  interesting
• 47:33
  to
• 47:33
  me
• 47:33
  that
• 47:34
  you
• 47:34
  talk
• 47:34
  about
• 47:34
  something
• 47:34
  like
• 47:35
  that
• 47:35
  because
• 47:35
  I
• 47:35
  never
• 47:35
  thought
• 47:35
  about
• 47:36
  myself
• 47:36
  as
• 47:36
  a
• 47:36
  writer
• 47:37
  and
• 47:37
  I
• 47:37
  really
• 47:37
  think
• 47:37
  having
• 47:38
  children
• 47:38
  for
• 47:38
  me
• 47:39
  helped
• 47:40
  because
• 47:40
  that.
• 47:40
  It's
• 47:41
  really
• 47:41
  just
• 47:41
  how
• 47:41
  I
• 47:41
  would
• 47:42
  talk
• 47:42
  or
• 47:42
  teach
• 47:43
  to
• 47:43
  my
• 47:43
  own
• 47:43
  children.
• 47:44
  For
• 47:45
  example,
• 47:45
  when
• 47:45
  I
• 47:45
  wrote
• 47:45
  the
• 47:46
  original
• 47:46
  script
• 47:46
  for
• 47:47
  the
• 47:47
  Firefighting
• 47:48
  Pilots,
• 47:49
  it
• 47:49
  was.
• 47:49
  I
• 47:49
  made
• 47:50
  changes.
• 47:50
  I
• 47:50
  would
• 47:50
  read
• 47:50
  it
• 47:50
  to
• 47:51
  my
• 47:51
  son,
• 47:51
  I'm
• 47:51
  like,
• 47:51
  oh,
• 47:52
  I
• 47:52
  just
• 47:52
  realized
• 47:52
  I
• 47:52
  changed
• 47:53
  a
• 47:53
  whole
• 47:53
  sentence
• 47:53
  so
• 47:53
  he
• 47:54
  could
• 47:54
  understand
• 47:54
  it
• 47:54
  better.
• 47:54
  Or
• 47:54
  I
• 47:55
  changed
• 47:55
  my
• 47:55
  tone
• 47:55
  and
• 47:56
  my
• 47:56
  inflection
• 47:57
  to
• 47:57
  make
• 47:57
  it
• 47:57
  more
• 47:57
  exciting
• 47:58
  for
• 47:58
  him
• 47:58
  or
• 47:58
  to
• 47:58
  get
• 47:58
  his
• 47:58
  involvement
• 47:59
  more.
• 47:59
  So
• 47:59
  I
• 48:00
  would
• 48:00
  go
• 48:00
  back
• 48:00
  and
• 48:00
  make.
• 48:00
  Changes
• 48:01
  to
• 48:01
  my
• 48:01
  manuscript
• 48:02
  I
• 48:02
  was
• 48:02
  telling
• 48:03
  you
• 48:03
  about.
• 48:03
  I
• 48:03
  have
• 48:04
  my
• 48:04
  grandchildren
• 48:05
  reading
• 48:05
  the
• 48:05
  audiobooks
• 48:06
  of
• 48:06
  our
• 48:07
  stories
• 48:08
  and
• 48:08
  every
• 48:09
  time
• 48:09
  they
• 48:10
  read
• 48:10
  a
• 48:10
  new
• 48:10
  story,
• 48:11
  we
• 48:12
  end
• 48:12
  up
• 48:12
  changing
• 48:12
  the
• 48:13
  words
• 48:13
  because
• 48:15
  that's
• 48:15
  not
• 48:15
  what
• 48:15
  a
• 48:16
  4
• 48:16
  to
• 48:16
  10
• 48:17
  year
• 48:17
  old
• 48:17
  would
• 48:17
  say.
• 48:18
  And
• 48:19
  so
• 48:19
  it's
• 48:20
  nice
• 48:20
  that
• 48:20
  you're
• 48:21
  able
• 48:21
  to
• 48:21
  share
• 48:21
  with
• 48:21
  your
• 48:22
  children
• 48:22
  or
• 48:22
  for
• 48:23
  me,
• 48:23
  I
• 48:23
  get
• 48:23
  to
• 48:23
  share
• 48:23
  with
• 48:24
  my
• 48:24
  grandchildren
• 48:25
  and
• 48:25
  make
• 48:25
  sure
• 48:25
  that
• 48:26
  the
• 48:26
  book
• 48:26
  speaks
• 48:27
  to
• 48:28
  your
• 48:28
  target
• 48:28
  audience.
• 48:29
  Tell
• 48:29
  us
• 48:30
  a
• 48:30
  little
• 48:30
  bit
• 48:30
  more
• 48:30
  about
• 48:31
  your
• 48:31
  writing
• 48:31
  process
• 48:32
  because
• 48:32
  you
• 48:32
  sound
• 48:32
  like
• 48:33
  you're
• 48:33
  a
• 48:33
  busy
• 48:33
  lady.
• 48:34
  So
• 48:34
  I'm
• 48:34
  thinking
• 48:36
  give
• 48:36
  us
• 48:36
  some
• 48:36
  insights
• 48:37
  into
• 48:37
  your
• 48:38
  development
• 48:38
  and
• 48:39
  writing
• 48:39
  process
• 48:39
  for
• 48:40
  your
• 48:40
  children's
• 48:40
  book.
• 48:41
  Yeah,
• 48:42
  you're
• 48:42
  probably
• 48:42
  going
• 48:42
  to
• 48:43
  laugh
• 48:43
  at
• 48:43
  this
• 48:43
  and
• 48:44
  not
• 48:44
  think
• 48:44
  it's
• 48:44
  true,
• 48:45
  but
• 48:45
  I.
• 48:45
  It
• 48:45
  takes
• 48:46
  me
• 48:46
  a
• 48:46
  day
• 48:46
  to
• 48:46
  write
• 48:46
  the
• 48:47
  book.
• 48:48
  Again,
• 48:48
  I
• 48:48
  mentioned
• 48:49
  I
• 48:49
  don't
• 48:50
  fall
• 48:50
  asleep
• 48:50
  easily.
• 48:51
  So
• 48:51
  I've
• 48:51
  been
• 48:51
  telling
• 48:51
  myself
• 48:52
  this
• 48:52
  story
• 48:52
  for
• 48:53
  years.
• 48:53
  So
• 48:54
  when
• 48:54
  it
• 48:54
  came
• 48:54
  to
• 48:54
  put
• 48:55
  pen
• 48:55
  and
• 48:55
  paper,
• 48:56
  the
• 48:56
  hardest
• 48:57
  part
• 48:57
  was
• 48:57
  putting
• 48:58
  pen
• 48:58
  to
• 48:58
  paper.
• 48:59
  But
• 48:59
  I
• 48:59
  did,
• 48:59
  I
• 48:59
  sat
• 49:00
  down
• 49:00
  in
• 49:00
  a
• 49:00
  chair
• 49:00
  over
• 49:00
  here
• 49:00
  and
• 49:01
  I
• 49:01
  just
• 49:01
  started
• 49:01
  writing.
• 49:02
  And
• 49:02
  once
• 49:02
  I
• 49:02
  did
• 49:02
  that,
• 49:04
  I
• 49:04
  was
• 49:04
  like,
• 49:04
  I
• 49:04
  had
• 49:04
  a
• 49:04
  good
• 49:05
  flow
• 49:05
  and
• 49:05
  I
• 49:05
  went
• 49:05
  to
• 49:05
  the
• 49:05
  computer
• 49:06
  and
• 49:06
  started
• 49:06
  typing
• 49:06
  it
• 49:06
  up
• 49:06
  and
• 49:07
  I
• 49:07
  did
• 49:07
  it
• 49:07
  in
• 49:07
  a
• 49:07
  day
• 49:07
  and
• 49:07
  I
• 49:07
  Turned
• 49:07
  it
• 49:07
  into
• 49:08
  the
• 49:08
  publisher.
• 49:09
  And
• 49:09
  you
• 49:09
  know
• 49:09
  what?
• 49:10
  I
• 49:10
  don't
• 49:10
  laugh
• 49:10
  at
• 49:10
  all,
• 49:11
  because
• 49:11
  I've
• 49:11
  heard
• 49:11
  a
• 49:11
  story.
• 49:12
  I
• 49:12
  interviewed
• 49:13
  a
• 49:13
  lady
• 49:13
  from
• 49:14
  Staten
• 49:14
  island,
• 49:15
  and
• 49:15
  she
• 49:16
  actually
• 49:17
  woke
• 49:17
  up
• 49:18
  in
• 49:18
  the
• 49:18
  middle
• 49:18
  of
• 49:19
  the
• 49:19
  night
• 49:20
  and
• 49:20
  she
• 49:21
  had
• 49:21
  her
• 49:21
  iPhone
• 49:22
  and
• 49:22
  she
• 49:22
  dictated
• 49:23
  her
• 49:23
  whole
• 49:24
  book
• 49:25
  from
• 49:26
  a
• 49:26
  dream.
• 49:26
  It
• 49:26
  just
• 49:27
  popped
• 49:27
  into
• 49:27
  her
• 49:28
  and
• 49:28
  she.
• 49:28
  And
• 49:28
  her.
• 49:29
  And
• 49:29
  then
• 49:29
  her
• 49:29
  husband
• 49:30
  woke
• 49:30
  up
• 49:30
  and
• 49:30
  said,
• 49:30
  what
• 49:30
  do
• 49:30
  you.
• 49:31
  What
• 49:31
  did
• 49:31
  you
• 49:31
  just
• 49:31
  do?
• 49:32
  And
• 49:32
  she
• 49:32
  said,
• 49:32
  I
• 49:33
  just
• 49:33
  wrote
• 49:33
  a.
• 49:33
  Children
• 49:33
  just.
• 49:34
  Yeah,
• 49:35
  So
• 49:35
  I
• 49:36
  think
• 49:36
  what.
• 49:36
  Whatever
• 49:37
  works
• 49:37
  for
• 49:37
  you.
• 49:38
  It's
• 49:38
  just
• 49:38
  nice.
• 49:39
  Thank
• 49:39
  you
• 49:39
  for
• 49:39
  sharing
• 49:40
  that.
• 49:40
  So
• 49:40
  that
• 49:40
  people
• 49:41
  who
• 49:41
  might
• 49:42
  be
• 49:42
  aspiring
• 49:42
  authors
• 49:43
  realize
• 49:44
  you
• 49:44
  don't
• 49:44
  have
• 49:45
  to
• 49:45
  spend
• 49:47
  14
• 49:47
  months
• 49:48
  or
• 49:48
  something
• 49:48
  writing
• 49:49
  a
• 49:49
  children's
• 49:50
  book.
• 49:51
  Sometimes
• 49:51
  it
• 49:51
  just
• 49:52
  flows
• 49:52
  as
• 49:52
  easy
• 49:52
  as
• 49:53
  you're
• 49:53
  talking
• 49:53
  about.
• 49:54
  However,
• 49:55
  it
• 49:55
  seems
• 49:55
  to
• 49:55
  me
• 49:56
  that
• 49:56
  you
• 49:56
  did
• 49:56
  have.
• 49:57
  It
• 49:58
  was
• 49:58
  simmering
• 49:59
  in
• 49:59
  your
• 49:59
  brain
• 50:00
  for
• 50:00
  a
• 50:00
  little
• 50:00
  while.
• 50:01
  Yeah.
• 50:01
  And
• 50:02
  I'm
• 50:02
  definitely
• 50:02
  blessed
• 50:02
  that
• 50:02
  I'm
• 50:03
  writing
• 50:03
  about
• 50:03
  a
• 50:03
  topic
• 50:03
  that
• 50:04
  I've
• 50:04
  lived.
• 50:05
  I
• 50:05
  have
• 50:05
  practical
• 50:06
  application
• 50:06
  in
• 50:07
  this.
• 50:07
  And
• 50:07
  I'm
• 50:07
  not
• 50:08
  off
• 50:08
  the
• 50:08
  cuff
• 50:09
  writing
• 50:09
  some
• 50:09
  sort
• 50:10
  of
• 50:10
  dramatic
• 50:11
  or
• 50:11
  theatric
• 50:12
  or
• 50:13
  I'm
• 50:13
  not
• 50:13
  writing
• 50:14
  about
• 50:14
  dragons
• 50:14
  that
• 50:15
  I've
• 50:15
  never
• 50:15
  seen
• 50:15
  or
• 50:16
  dinosaurs.
• 50:16
  I've
• 50:17
  been.
• 50:17
  I'm
• 50:17
  writing
• 50:17
  about
• 50:17
  something
• 50:17
  I
• 50:18
  have
• 50:18
  practical
• 50:18
  application
• 50:19
  with.
• 50:19
  So
• 50:19
  that
• 50:19
  definitely
• 50:20
  helps
• 50:20
  the
• 50:20
  process.
• 50:20
  So
• 50:20
  you
• 50:21
  have
• 50:21
  the
• 50:21
  helicopter
• 50:22
  background
• 50:22
  and
• 50:23
  the
• 50:23
  aviation
• 50:23
  background,
• 50:24
  but
• 50:25
  have
• 50:26
  you
• 50:26
  been
• 50:26
  in
• 50:26
  law
• 50:27
  enforcement?
• 50:28
  Yeah,
• 50:28
  no,
• 50:29
  I
• 50:29
  flew
• 50:29
  law
• 50:29
  enforcement.
• 50:30
  And
• 50:30
  the
• 50:30
  medical
• 50:31
  side
• 50:31
  of
• 50:31
  it.
• 50:32
  Yeah,
• 50:32
  I
• 50:32
  flew
• 50:32
  air
• 50:33
  ambulance.
• 50:33
  Okay.
• 50:33
  And
• 50:34
  then
• 50:34
  what?
• 50:34
  I.
• 50:34
  Sorry,
• 50:35
  what
• 50:35
  was
• 50:35
  the
• 50:35
  theme
• 50:35
  of
• 50:35
  the
• 50:36
  fourth
• 50:36
  book?
• 50:36
  Agricultural.
• 50:38
  Oh,
• 50:38
  okay.
• 50:38
  So
• 50:39
  have
• 50:39
  you.
• 50:39
  So
• 50:40
  I've
• 50:40
  never
• 50:40
  been
• 50:40
  an
• 50:40
  ag
• 50:40
  pilot,
• 50:41
  but
• 50:41
  one
• 50:41
  of
• 50:41
  my
• 50:41
  first.
• 50:42
  My
• 50:42
  first
• 50:42
  clients
• 50:42
  is
• 50:43
  an
• 50:43
  ag
• 50:43
  pilot,
• 50:43
  and
• 50:43
  I
• 50:43
  did
• 50:44
  a
• 50:44
  lot
• 50:44
  of
• 50:44
  work
• 50:44
  with
• 50:44
  them.
• 50:45
  Okay.
• 50:45
  So
• 50:46
  I'm
• 50:46
  familiar
• 50:46
  with
• 50:46
  all
• 50:46
  the
• 50:47
  missions.
• 50:47
  And
• 50:47
  then
• 50:48
  it's
• 50:48
  nice
• 50:48
  that
• 50:48
  you're
• 50:49
  drawing
• 50:49
  from
• 50:49
  this
• 50:50
  extensive
• 50:50
  background
• 50:51
  and
• 50:52
  turning
• 50:52
  it
• 50:52
  into
• 50:52
  children's
• 50:53
  books.
• 50:53
  Because
• 50:54
  if
• 50:54
  I
• 50:54
  said,
• 50:55
  oh,
• 50:55
  I
• 50:55
  know
• 50:56
  a
• 50:56
  firefighting
• 50:57
  pilot,
• 50:58
  or
• 50:58
  I
• 50:58
  know
• 50:58
  a
• 50:59
  law
• 50:59
  enforcement
• 51:00
  helicopter
• 51:00
  pilot,
• 51:01
  I
• 51:01
  don't
• 51:02
  think
• 51:02
  the
• 51:02
  first
• 51:02
  thing
• 51:03
  someone
• 51:04
  would
• 51:04
  say
• 51:04
  to
• 51:04
  me,
• 51:04
  oh,
• 51:05
  Art,
• 51:05
  children's
• 51:06
  book
• 51:06
  author.
• 51:08
  Right.
• 51:09
  That
• 51:09
  would
• 51:09
  be
• 51:09
  the
• 51:10
  first
• 51:10
  thing
• 51:10
  that
• 51:10
  pops
• 51:11
  into
• 51:11
  someone's
• 51:12
  head
• 51:13
  as
• 51:13
  I'm
• 51:14
  trying
• 51:14
  to
• 51:14
  describe
• 51:14
  you
• 51:15
  now,
• 51:15
  because
• 51:15
  we
• 51:16
  know
• 51:16
  you,
• 51:16
  we
• 51:17
  can
• 51:17
  say
• 51:17
  that,
• 51:17
  but
• 51:18
  it's
• 51:18
  interesting.
• 51:19
  It's
• 51:19
  definitely
• 51:20
  a
• 51:20
  fun
• 51:20
  side.
• 51:23
  Research.
• 51:23
  Now,
• 51:24
  I
• 51:24
  know
• 51:24
  you
• 51:24
  said
• 51:24
  you
• 51:25
  had
• 51:25
  the
• 51:25
  background,
• 51:25
  but
• 51:26
  it
• 51:26
  seems
• 51:26
  to
• 51:26
  me
• 51:26
  you've
• 51:27
  done
• 51:27
  some
• 51:28
  research
• 51:28
  also
• 51:29
  in
• 51:29
  putting
• 51:29
  your
• 51:30
  books
• 51:30
  together.
• 51:31
  Tell
• 51:31
  us
• 51:31
  a
• 51:32
  little
• 51:32
  bit
• 51:32
  about.
• 51:33
  Yeah,
• 51:33
  I
• 51:33
  think
• 51:33
  research
• 51:33
  for
• 51:34
  me
• 51:34
  is
• 51:34
  basically,
• 51:35
  again,
• 51:35
  the
• 51:35
  process
• 51:36
  of
• 51:36
  writing
• 51:36
  a
• 51:36
  book.
• 51:37
  Not
• 51:37
  necessarily
• 51:37
  writing
• 51:37
  the
• 51:38
  book,
• 51:38
  but
• 51:39
  we
• 51:39
  already
• 51:39
  talk
• 51:39
  about
• 51:40
  who
• 51:40
  to
• 51:40
  use
• 51:40
  for
• 51:41
  publishing
• 51:41
  and
• 51:41
  things
• 51:41
  like
• 51:41
  that
• 51:42
  research.
• 51:43
  And
• 51:43
  then
• 51:43
  for
• 51:43
  me,
• 51:43
  when
• 51:43
  it
• 51:43
  comes.
• 51:44
  To
• 51:45
  the
• 51:45
  characters
• 51:45
  only
• 51:46
  have
• 51:46
  five
• 51:47
  to
• 51:47
  a
• 51:47
  thousand
• 51:47
  words.
• 51:49
  So
• 51:49
  you
• 51:49
  got
• 51:49
  to
• 51:49
  make
• 51:50
  sure
• 51:50
  every
• 51:50
  word
• 51:50
  counts.
• 51:51
  Every
• 51:51
  word
• 51:51
  does
• 51:52
  count.
• 51:52
  Yeah.
• 51:53
  But
• 51:53
  I
• 51:53
  don't
• 51:53
  research
• 51:54
  my
• 51:54
  words.
• 51:55
  I
• 51:55
  research
• 51:56
  the
• 51:56
  characters
• 51:56
  names
• 51:57
  because
• 51:57
  I
• 51:57
  want
• 51:57
  them
• 51:57
  to
• 51:58
  be
• 51:58
  culturally
• 51:58
  appropriate.
• 51:59
  Okay.
• 52:00
  I
• 52:00
  want
• 52:00
  them
• 52:00
  to
• 52:01
  look
• 52:01
  culturally
• 52:02
  appropriate.
• 52:02
  But
• 52:03
  I
• 52:03
  don't
• 52:03
  do
• 52:03
  a
• 52:03
  lot
• 52:03
  of
• 52:04
  research
• 52:04
  on
• 52:04
  that.
• 52:04
  I
• 52:05
  do
• 52:05
  on
• 52:05
  their
• 52:05
  names
• 52:06
  because
• 52:06
  I
• 52:06
  want
• 52:06
  that
• 52:06
  to.
• 52:07
  To
• 52:07
  be
• 52:07
  it.
• 52:08
  But
• 52:08
  other
• 52:08
  than
• 52:08
  that,
• 52:09
  I
• 52:09
  don't
• 52:09
  do
• 52:09
  a
• 52:09
  whole
• 52:09
  lot
• 52:09
  of
• 52:09
  research.
• 52:10
  And
• 52:10
  part
• 52:11
  of
• 52:11
  that
• 52:11
  is
• 52:11
  though,
• 52:11
  that
• 52:12
  the
• 52:12
  acronyms
• 52:13
  are
• 52:13
  using
• 52:13
  are
• 52:14
  real
• 52:14
  acronyms.
• 52:15
  You
• 52:15
  didn't
• 52:15
  make
• 52:15
  them
• 52:16
  up,
• 52:16
  correct?
• 52:16
  Yeah.
• 52:17
  I
• 52:17
  just
• 52:18
  want
• 52:18
  people
• 52:18
  to
• 52:18
  understand
• 52:19
  that
• 52:19
  you
• 52:20
  can
• 52:20
  draw
• 52:20
  from
• 52:20
  your
• 52:20
  own
• 52:21
  background
• 52:21
  and
• 52:22
  still
• 52:22
  have
• 52:22
  a
• 52:22
  lot
• 52:23
  of
• 52:23
  fun
• 52:23
  with
• 52:23
  it.
• 52:23
  And
• 52:24
  the
• 52:24
  word
• 52:24
  Pave,
• 52:25
  the
• 52:25
  word
• 52:26
  pilot,
• 52:26
  the
• 52:26
  word
• 52:26
  steam,
• 52:27
  all
• 52:27
  are
• 52:27
  fun
• 52:28
  words.
• 52:29
  Yeah.
• 52:29
  And
• 52:29
  then
• 52:30
  so
• 52:30
  I
• 52:30
  write
• 52:30
  a
• 52:30
  newsletter
• 52:31
  and
• 52:31
  I
• 52:31
  try
• 52:31
  to
• 52:32
  do
• 52:32
  it
• 52:32
  once
• 52:32
  a
• 52:32
  month.
• 52:32
  I
• 52:33
  probably
• 52:33
  need
• 52:33
  to
• 52:34
  start
• 52:34
  doing
• 52:34
  it
• 52:34
  more,
• 52:34
  but
• 52:34
  I
• 52:35
  even
• 52:35
  wrote
• 52:35
  a
• 52:35
  whole
• 52:36
  article
• 52:36
  in
• 52:37
  my
• 52:37
  newsletter
• 52:37
  about
• 52:37
  pave,
• 52:38
  where
• 52:38
  it
• 52:38
  came
• 52:38
  from.
• 52:39
  I
• 52:39
  do
• 52:39
  a
• 52:39
  link
• 52:40
  to
• 52:40
  the
• 52:40
  FAA's
• 52:41
  website
• 52:41
  if
• 52:41
  your
• 52:41
  kid
• 52:42
  wants
• 52:42
  to
• 52:42
  learn
• 52:42
  more
• 52:42
  about
• 52:42
  it.
• 52:43
  So
• 52:44
  that's.
• 52:44
  Yeah,
• 52:44
  let's
• 52:45
  use
• 52:45
  what's
• 52:46
  actually
• 52:46
  out
• 52:46
  there
• 52:46
  and
• 52:46
  they
• 52:46
  could
• 52:46
  use
• 52:47
  it
• 52:47
  in
• 52:47
  real
• 52:47
  life.
• 52:48
  I
• 52:48
  want
• 52:49
  to
• 52:49
  talk,
• 52:49
  Cody,
• 52:49
  a
• 52:50
  bit
• 52:50
  about
• 52:50
  success
• 52:51
  measurement.
• 52:52
  So
• 52:52
  we
• 52:53
  previously
• 52:53
  discussed
• 52:54
  your
• 52:55
  book
• 52:55
  business,
• 52:57
  but
• 52:57
  I'd
• 52:58
  like
• 52:58
  to
• 52:58
  actually
• 52:58
  delve
• 52:59
  a
• 52:59
  little
• 52:59
  bit
• 52:59
  deeper
• 53:00
  into
• 53:00
  your
• 53:00
  original
• 53:01
  goals
• 53:02
  and
• 53:03
  tell
• 53:04
  us
• 53:04
  a
• 53:04
  little
• 53:04
  bit
• 53:04
  about
• 53:04
  what
• 53:05
  you
• 53:05
  had
• 53:05
  in
• 53:05
  mind
• 53:06
  when
• 53:06
  you
• 53:07
  brought
• 53:07
  your
• 53:08
  first
• 53:08
  book
• 53:08
  to
• 53:08
  the
• 53:09
  world.
• 53:09
  What
• 53:09
  was
• 53:10
  your
• 53:10
  goal?
• 53:11
  So
• 53:12
  I
• 53:12
  think
• 53:13
  obviously
• 53:13
  you
• 53:13
  want
• 53:14
  to
• 53:14
  sell
• 53:14
  books,
• 53:15
  right?
• 53:15
  When
• 53:16
  you
• 53:16
  see
• 53:16
  books
• 53:16
  selling,
• 53:17
  that
• 53:18
  is.
• 53:18
  That's
• 53:18
  a
• 53:18
  euphoric
• 53:19
  feel.
• 53:20
  What
• 53:20
  the
• 53:21
  thing
• 53:21
  that,
• 53:22
  where
• 53:22
  I
• 53:22
  feel
• 53:23
  I
• 53:23
  could
• 53:23
  say
• 53:23
  I'm
• 53:24
  successful
• 53:25
  and
• 53:25
  I
• 53:25
  might
• 53:26
  on
• 53:26
  a
• 53:26
  grand
• 53:26
  scale,
• 53:26
  I'm
• 53:27
  probably
• 53:27
  not
• 53:28
  right,
• 53:28
  of
• 53:28
  course,
• 53:29
  but
• 53:29
  I
• 53:29
  feel
• 53:29
  successful
• 53:30
  when
• 53:30
  I'm
• 53:30
  at
• 53:30
  events
• 53:31
  and
• 53:31
  I
• 53:31
  hear
• 53:31
  a
• 53:31
  little
• 53:32
  girl
• 53:32
  yell
• 53:32
  to
• 53:33
  her
• 53:33
  mommy,
• 53:33
  she
• 53:33
  looks
• 53:34
  like
• 53:34
  me,
• 53:35
  and
• 53:35
  points
• 53:35
  at
• 53:35
  my
• 53:36
  book.
• 53:37
  Or
• 53:37
  little
• 53:38
  a
• 53:38
  family
• 53:39
  who
• 53:39
  one
• 53:40
  day
• 53:40
  at
• 53:40
  an
• 53:41
  event
• 53:41
  that
• 53:42
  was
• 53:42
  a
• 53:42
  week
• 53:42
  long,
• 53:43
  one
• 53:43
  day
• 53:43
  they
• 53:43
  came
• 53:43
  with
• 53:43
  their
• 53:44
  two
• 53:44
  kids
• 53:44
  and
• 53:44
  they
• 53:44
  bought
• 53:45
  one
• 53:45
  of
• 53:45
  the
• 53:45
  books
• 53:47
  and
• 53:47
  they
• 53:47
  came
• 53:48
  back
• 53:48
  the
• 53:48
  next
• 53:48
  day
• 53:49
  and
• 53:49
  they're
• 53:49
  like,
• 53:49
  oh
• 53:49
  my
• 53:50
  gosh,
• 53:50
  we
• 53:50
  bought
• 53:51
  your
• 53:51
  book.
• 53:51
  We
• 53:51
  couldn't
• 53:52
  stop
• 53:52
  reading
• 53:52
  it
• 53:52
  all
• 53:52
  night.
• 53:53
  We
• 53:53
  want
• 53:53
  to
• 53:53
  buy
• 53:53
  the
• 53:53
  other
• 53:53
  book
• 53:54
  and
• 53:54
  we
• 53:54
  loved
• 53:54
  it.
• 53:55
  And
• 53:55
  the
• 53:55
  girls
• 53:55
  couldn't
• 53:55
  get
• 53:55
  talking
• 53:56
  about
• 53:56
  it.
• 53:56
  I
• 53:57
  love
• 53:57
  that.
• 53:58
  I
• 53:58
  have
• 53:58
  friends
• 53:58
  who
• 53:59
  send
• 53:59
  me
• 53:59
  videos
• 54:00
  of
• 54:00
  their
• 54:00
  kids
• 54:00
  reading
• 54:01
  the
• 54:01
  book.
• 54:01
  I
• 54:02
  love
• 54:02
  to
• 54:02
  hear
• 54:02
  the
• 54:02
  kids
• 54:03
  say,
• 54:03
  hilo,
• 54:03
  girls.
• 54:04
  I
• 54:04
  love
• 54:05
  to
• 54:05
  hear
• 54:06
  that.
• 54:06
  Hey,
• 54:06
  my,
• 54:07
  my
• 54:07
  son,
• 54:07
  this
• 54:08
  is
• 54:08
  his
• 54:08
  favorite
• 54:08
  Book.
• 54:09
  He
• 54:09
  reads
• 54:09
  it
• 54:09
  every
• 54:09
  single
• 54:10
  night.
• 54:10
  He.
• 54:10
  This
• 54:10
  is
• 54:10
  the
• 54:11
  only
• 54:11
  book
• 54:11
  he
• 54:11
  asks
• 54:11
  for.
• 54:12
  That's
• 54:12
  success.
• 54:13
  Right.
• 54:13
  That
• 54:14
  means
• 54:14
  that's
• 54:15
  my
• 54:15
  intended
• 54:15
  goal.
• 54:16
  That
• 54:16
  seed
• 54:16
  has
• 54:17
  been
• 54:17
  planted.
• 54:18
  I
• 54:18
  do
• 54:18
  find
• 54:18
  it
• 54:19
  very
• 54:19
  interesting.
• 54:20
  Yes.
• 54:20
  The
• 54:20
  name
• 54:20
  is
• 54:21
  Hilo
• 54:21
  Girls.
• 54:21
  I
• 54:22
  will
• 54:22
  see
• 54:22
  certain
• 54:22
  people,
• 54:23
  just.
• 54:23
  If
• 54:23
  they
• 54:23
  have
• 54:23
  a
• 54:23
  boy,
• 54:24
  they
• 54:24
  will
• 54:24
  walk
• 54:24
  right
• 54:24
  past
• 54:25
  me.
• 54:25
  But
• 54:26
  it's
• 54:26
  not
• 54:26
  it.
• 54:27
  Yes,
• 54:27
  it's
• 54:27
  called
• 54:27
  Hilo
• 54:28
  Girls.
• 54:28
  Yes,
• 54:28
  it's
• 54:28
  Female
• 54:29
  Pilots.
• 54:29
  But
• 54:29
  the
• 54:29
  books
• 54:29
  are
• 54:30
  about
• 54:30
  the
• 54:30
  mission.
• 54:31
  Just
• 54:31
  happens
• 54:31
  to
• 54:31
  be
• 54:31
  awesome
• 54:32
  female
• 54:32
  pilots.
• 54:33
  So
• 54:34
  my
• 54:34
  son
• 54:34
  loves
• 54:34
  the
• 54:34
  books.
• 54:35
  Boys
• 54:35
  love
• 54:36
  the
• 54:36
  books.
• 54:37
  Oh,
• 54:37
  absolutely.
• 54:38
  I
• 54:38
  love
• 54:38
  that
• 54:39
  you're
• 54:39
  saying
• 54:39
  that
• 54:39
  because
• 54:40
  I
• 54:40
  have
• 54:40
  three
• 54:40
  granddaughters
• 54:41
  and
• 54:41
  two
• 54:42
  grandsons,
• 54:43
  and
• 54:44
  we
• 54:44
  all
• 54:44
  do
• 54:45
  the
• 54:45
  same
• 54:45
  things.
• 54:46
  I
• 54:46
  don't
• 54:46
  treat
• 54:46
  my
• 54:47
  grandsons
• 54:47
  any
• 54:47
  differently
• 54:48
  than
• 54:48
  I
• 54:48
  treat
• 54:49
  my
• 54:49
  granddaughters.
• 54:50
  They're
• 54:50
  all
• 54:50
  pretty
• 54:51
  adventurous.
• 54:51
  We
• 54:51
  like
• 54:52
  to
• 54:52
  ski.
• 54:52
  We
• 54:52
  like
• 54:53
  to
• 54:53
  bike
• 54:53
  together.
• 54:54
  I'm
• 54:54
  a
• 54:54
  girl,
• 54:55
  and
• 54:55
  I
• 54:55
  read
• 54:55
  the
• 54:55
  Hardy
• 54:55
  Boys
• 54:56
  growing
• 54:56
  up.
• 54:56
  Exactly,
• 54:57
  exactly.
• 54:58
  I
• 54:58
  was
• 54:58
  thinking
• 54:59
  you
• 54:59
  had
• 54:59
  my
• 54:59
  mind
• 54:59
  going.
• 55:00
  Because
• 55:00
  one
• 55:01
  of
• 55:01
  the
• 55:01
  best
• 55:01
  compliments
• 55:02
  we
• 55:02
  ever
• 55:02
  got
• 55:02
  was
• 55:03
  someone
• 55:03
  said
• 55:03
  to
• 55:03
  me,
• 55:04
  her
• 55:04
  son
• 55:04
  read
• 55:05
  the
• 55:05
  book.
• 55:06
  He
• 55:06
  loved
• 55:06
  the
• 55:06
  name
• 55:06
  Caboose
• 55:07
  so
• 55:07
  much,
• 55:08
  he
• 55:08
  was
• 55:08
  running
• 55:09
  around
• 55:09
  the
• 55:09
  house
• 55:09
  for
• 55:10
  half
• 55:10
  a
• 55:10
  day
• 55:10
  yelling
• 55:11
  out
• 55:11
  caboose.
• 55:12
  And
• 55:13
  I
• 55:13
  thought,
• 55:13
  oh,
• 55:13
  that's
• 55:14
  pretty
• 55:14
  cool.
• 55:15
  So
• 55:15
  something
• 55:15
  that
• 55:16
  simple.
• 55:16
  And
• 55:16
  I
• 55:16
  guess
• 55:16
  that's
• 55:17
  what
• 55:17
  I
• 55:17
  want
• 55:17
  aspiring
• 55:18
  authors
• 55:19
  to
• 55:19
  know,
• 55:19
  that
• 55:19
  it
• 55:20
  can
• 55:20
  be
• 55:20
  just
• 55:20
  as
• 55:20
  simple
• 55:21
  as.
• 55:21
  As
• 55:21
  the
• 55:22
  feeling
• 55:23
  that
• 55:23
  Cody's
• 55:24
  describing
• 55:24
  or
• 55:25
  the
• 55:25
  feeling
• 55:25
  that
• 55:25
  I'm
• 55:26
  describing
• 55:26
  can
• 55:27
  be
• 55:27
  a
• 55:27
  big
• 55:28
  measurement
• 55:28
  of
• 55:29
  your
• 55:29
  success.
• 55:30
  Yeah.
• 55:30
  And
• 55:30
  that
• 55:30
  you
• 55:31
  have
• 55:31
  to
• 55:31
  think
• 55:31
  about
• 55:31
  what
• 55:31
  your
• 55:32
  success.
• 55:32
  In
• 55:32
  all
• 55:32
  honesty,
• 55:33
  it's
• 55:33
  probably
• 55:33
  not
• 55:34
  going
• 55:34
  to
• 55:34
  be
• 55:34
  monetary
• 55:35
  success.
• 55:35
  In
• 55:35
  all
• 55:36
  honesty.
• 55:36
  What
• 55:36
  is
• 55:37
  your.
• 55:37
  What's
• 55:37
  your
• 55:37
  goal
• 55:37
  with
• 55:38
  your
• 55:38
  book?
• 55:38
  My
• 55:39
  goal
• 55:39
  is
• 55:39
  to
• 55:39
  plant
• 55:39
  the
• 55:39
  seed
• 55:40
  of
• 55:40
  aviation,
• 55:40
  specifically
• 55:41
  helicopters.
• 55:42
  Good
• 55:42
  for
• 55:42
  you.
• 55:43
  Let's
• 55:43
  dig
• 55:43
  into
• 55:44
  that
• 55:44
  a
• 55:44
  little
• 55:44
  deeper.
• 55:45
  So
• 55:45
  the
• 55:46
  role

  sounds

  like
• 55:48
  you're
• 55:48
  a
• 55:48
  very
• 55:48
  busy

  So

  tell
• 55:49
  us
• 55:50
  about
• 55:50
  the

  role

  of

  being
• 55:52
  a
• 55:52
  children's
• 55:52
  book

  author

  in

• 55:57
  Talk
• 55:57
  to
• 55:57
  us
• 55:57
  a
• 55:58
  bit
• 55:58
  about
• 55:58
  that.
• 56:00
  Like
• 56:00
  how
• 56:00
  much
• 56:00
  time
• 56:01
  it
• 56:01
  takes.
• 56:02
  No,
• 56:02
  no.
• 56:03
  What
• 56:03
  I
• 56:03
  mean
• 56:03
  is
• 56:03
  that
• 56:04
  how
• 56:05
  you
• 56:05
  see
• 56:06
  the.
• 56:06
  See
• 56:07
  yourself
• 56:07
  as
• 56:07
  a
• 56:07
  children's
• 56:08
  book
• 56:08
  author
• 56:09
  in
• 56:09
  the
• 56:09
  grand
• 56:10
  scheme
• 56:10
  of
• 56:10
  your
• 56:10
  life.
• 56:12
  Seems
• 56:12
  to
• 56:12
  me
• 56:12
  it's
• 56:13
  going
• 56:13
  to
• 56:13
  go
• 56:13
  on
• 56:13
  for
• 56:13
  a
• 56:14
  long
• 56:14
  time.
• 56:15
  Yeah,
• 56:15
  I
• 56:15
  definitely.
• 56:16
  This
• 56:16
  is
• 56:16
  my
• 56:16
  final
• 56:17
  plan.
• 56:18
  I
• 56:18
  think.
• 56:18
  Who
• 56:18
  knows
• 56:18
  where
• 56:19
  the
• 56:19
  good
• 56:19
  Lord's
• 56:19
  going
• 56:19
  to
• 56:19
  take
• 56:19
  me?
• 56:20
  But
• 56:20
  I
• 56:20
  think
• 56:20
  I've
• 56:21
  been.
• 56:21
  I
• 56:21
  think
• 56:21
  I've
• 56:22
  been
• 56:22
  molded
• 56:22
  and
• 56:22
  prepped
• 56:23
  my
• 56:23
  whole
• 56:23
  life
• 56:23
  to
• 56:24
  do
• 56:24
  this.
• 56:25
  I
• 56:25
  think
• 56:25
  I've
• 56:25
  been
• 56:26
  brought
• 56:26
  into
• 56:26
  the
• 56:26
  aviation
• 56:27
  industry,
• 56:27
  specifically
• 56:28
  helicopters,
• 56:29
  specifically
• 56:30
  air
• 56:30
  ambulance,
• 56:30
  to
• 56:31
  save
• 56:31
  lives,
• 56:31
  to
• 56:31
  see
• 56:31
  the
• 56:32
  change
• 56:32
  that
• 56:32
  this
• 56:32
  industry
• 56:33
  can
• 56:33
  make
• 56:34
  to
• 56:34
  be
• 56:35
  in
• 56:35
  aviation
• 56:36
  safety
• 56:36
  and
• 56:36
  to
• 56:36
  see
• 56:37
  the
• 56:37
  importance
• 56:38
  of
• 56:38
  that
• 56:39
  and
• 56:40
  to
• 56:40
  bring
• 56:40
  that
• 56:40
  thought
• 56:40
  process
• 56:41
  to
• 56:41
  young
• 56:41
  kids.
• 56:42
  I
• 56:43
  think
• 56:43
  everything
• 56:43
  I've
• 56:44
  done
• 56:44
  in
• 56:44
  my
• 56:44
  entire
• 56:44
  life
• 56:45
  has
• 56:45
  culminated
• 56:45
  in
• 56:46
  this,
• 56:47
  and
• 56:47
  that's
• 56:47
  why
• 56:47
  I
• 56:47
  say
• 56:47
  it
• 56:48
  really
• 56:48
  feels
• 56:48
  so
• 56:48
  visceral
• 56:49
  to
• 56:49
  me.
• 56:49
  I
• 56:49
  love
• 56:50
  helicopters.
• 56:50
  I'm
• 56:50
  not
• 56:51
  planning
• 56:51
  on
• 56:51
  stopping
• 56:52
  any
• 56:52
  of
• 56:52
  that
• 56:52
  stuff,
• 56:53
  but
• 56:53
  I
• 56:53
  feel
• 56:53
  very
• 56:54
  pulled
• 56:54
  to
• 56:54
  continue
• 56:55
  the
• 56:55
  growth
• 56:55
  of
• 56:56
  sharing
• 56:56
  that
• 56:56
  passion
• 56:57
  and
• 56:57
  that
• 56:57
  joy
• 56:57
  with
• 56:57
  kids,
• 56:58
  to
• 56:58
  plant
• 56:58
  that
• 56:58
  seed.
• 56:59
  And,
• 56:59
  well,
• 57:00
  you
• 57:00
  brought
• 57:01
  it
• 57:01
  to
• 57:02
  younger
• 57:03
  children
• 57:04
  and
• 57:05
  not
• 57:05
  complicated.
• 57:06
  And
• 57:06
  that's
• 57:07
  what
• 57:07
  I
• 57:07
  love
• 57:07
  about
• 57:07
  it,
• 57:07
  to
• 57:07
  actually
• 57:08
  put
• 57:08
  it
• 57:08
  into
• 57:09
  a
• 57:09
  children's
• 57:09
  book
• 57:10
  format.
• 57:11
  It's
• 57:12
  our
• 57:12
  responsibility,
• 57:13
  I
• 57:13
  believe
• 57:13
  my
• 57:14
  own
• 57:14
  opinion,
• 57:15
  that
• 57:15
  as
• 57:15
  we
• 57:15
  age,
• 57:16
  it's
• 57:16
  our
• 57:16
  responsibility
• 57:17
  to
• 57:17
  reach
• 57:18
  back
• 57:18
  and
• 57:18
  help
• 57:18
  pull
• 57:19
  the
• 57:19
  next
• 57:19
  generation
• 57:21
  up.
• 57:21
  And
• 57:22
  I
• 57:22
  want
• 57:22
  to
• 57:22
  pull
• 57:22
  them
• 57:23
  up
• 57:23
  into
• 57:23
  my
• 57:23
  industry
• 57:24
  because
• 57:24
  I
• 57:24
  love
• 57:24
  it.
• 57:25
  If
• 57:25
  they
• 57:25
  want
• 57:25
  to
• 57:26
  go
• 57:26
  somewhere
• 57:26
  else,
• 57:26
  I'll
• 57:26
  do
• 57:26
  my
• 57:27
  best
• 57:27
  to
• 57:27
  help
• 57:27
  pull
• 57:27
  them
• 57:27
  in
• 57:28
  that
• 57:28
  direction,
• 57:28
  too.
• 57:29
  But
• 57:29
  you
• 57:29
  know
• 57:29
  what?
• 57:29
  I'm
• 57:30
  just
• 57:30
  trying
• 57:30
  to
• 57:30
  do
• 57:30
  my
• 57:31
  reach
• 57:31
  back
• 57:31
  and
• 57:31
  uplift
• 57:32
  the
• 57:32
  next
• 57:32
  generation.
• 57:33
  Good
• 57:33
  for
• 57:34
  you.
• 57:34
  Besides
• 57:35
  aspiring
• 57:36
  children,
• 57:38
  what
• 57:38
  advice
• 57:39
  have
• 57:39
  you
• 57:39
  got
• 57:40
  for
• 57:40
  aspiring
• 57:41
  children's
• 57:42
  book
• 57:42
  authors?
• 57:43
  Yeah,
• 57:44
  you
• 57:44
  can't
• 57:44
  get
• 57:44
  anywhere
• 57:45
  without
• 57:45
  taking
• 57:46
  one
• 57:46
  step
• 57:46
  forward
• 57:48
  or
• 57:48
  backwards
• 57:49
  or
• 57:49
  left
• 57:49
  or
• 57:50
  right.
• 57:50
  You
• 57:50
  can't
• 57:50
  get
• 57:50
  anywhere
• 57:51
  without
• 57:51
  taking
• 57:51
  one
• 57:51
  step.
• 57:52
  So
• 57:53
  do
• 57:53
  it
• 57:53
  right.
• 57:54
  You.
• 57:55
  You
• 57:55
  can
• 57:55
  never
• 57:55
  do
• 57:55
  anything
• 57:56
  by
• 57:56
  standing
• 57:56
  still.
• 57:57
  So
• 57:57
  indecision
• 57:58
  in
• 57:58
  itself
• 57:58
  is
• 57:59
  a
• 57:59
  decision,
• 57:59
  right?
• 58:00
  I
• 58:00
  don't
• 58:00
  know
• 58:00
  if
• 58:00
  you've
• 58:00
  heard
• 58:01
  that
• 58:01
  before.
• 58:01
  If
• 58:02
  you
• 58:02
  have
• 58:02
  an
• 58:02
  interest
• 58:03
  in
• 58:03
  writing,
• 58:03
  just
• 58:03
  do
• 58:03
  some
• 58:04
  research,
• 58:04
  see
• 58:04
  where
• 58:04
  it
• 58:04
  leads
• 58:05
  you.
• 58:05
  See
• 58:05
  what
• 58:05
  their
• 58:05
  rabbit
• 58:06
  hole
• 58:06
  looks
• 58:07
  like
• 58:07
  for
• 58:07
  you.
• 58:07
  You'll
• 58:08
  never
• 58:08
  know
• 58:08
  until
• 58:09
  you
• 58:09
  do
• 58:09
  that.
• 58:10
  And
• 58:10
  really,
• 58:10
  in
• 58:10
  all
• 58:11
  honesty,
• 58:11
  you
• 58:11
  hear
• 58:11
  people
• 58:11
  say
• 58:12
  it
• 58:12
  all
• 58:12
  the
• 58:12
  time.
• 58:12
  Put
• 58:12
  pen
• 58:13
  to
• 58:13
  paper,
• 58:13
  just
• 58:13
  sit
• 58:13
  down,
• 58:14
  get
• 58:14
  your
• 58:14
  thoughts
• 58:15
  out,
• 58:15
  or
• 58:15
  grab
• 58:15
  your
• 58:16
  cell
• 58:16
  phone
• 58:16
  and
• 58:16
  start
• 58:16
  recording
• 58:17
  a
• 58:17
  conversation
• 58:18
  with
• 58:18
  yourself
• 58:18
  on
• 58:18
  your
• 58:18
  thought
• 58:19
  process
• 58:19
  and
• 58:19
  see
• 58:19
  the
• 58:20
  evolution
• 58:21
  that
• 58:21
  will
• 58:21
  come
• 58:21
  out
• 58:21
  of
• 58:22
  you,
• 58:22
  especially
• 58:22
  when
• 58:22
  it's
• 58:23
  something
• 58:23
  that
• 58:24
  really
• 58:24
  is
• 58:24
  in
• 58:24
  your
• 58:24
  heart,
• 58:25
  in
• 58:25
  your
• 58:25
  passion.
• 58:26
  I
• 58:27
  appreciate
• 58:28
  that
• 58:29
  because
• 58:29
  that's
• 58:30
  the
• 58:30
  whole
• 58:30
  idea
• 58:31
  behind
• 58:31
  this
• 58:32
  podcast
• 58:32
  show,
• 58:33
  is
• 58:33
  having
• 58:34
  children's
• 58:34
  book
• 58:34
  authors
• 58:35
  come
• 58:35
  on
• 58:36
  the
• 58:36
  show
• 58:36
  and
• 58:37
  share
• 58:37
  their
• 58:37
  story.
• 58:38
  And
• 58:38
  everyone
• 58:38
  thinks,
• 58:39
  well,
• 58:39
  Rick's,
• 58:40
  your
• 58:41
  questions
• 58:41
  are
• 58:41
  similar
• 58:42
  with
• 58:43
  every
• 58:43
  guest.
• 58:43
  And
• 58:44
  I
• 58:44
  think
• 58:45
  my
• 58:46
  questions
• 58:46
  may
• 58:46
  be
• 58:47
  similar,
• 58:47
  but
• 58:47
  the
• 58:48
  answers
• 58:49
  are
• 58:49
  never
• 58:50
  the
• 58:50
  same.
• 58:51
  And
• 58:51
  how
• 58:52
  people
• 58:52
  approach
• 58:52
  it
• 58:53
  is
• 58:53
  totally
• 58:54
  different.
• 58:55
  And
• 58:55
  you
• 58:55
  talking
• 58:56
  about
• 58:57
  Blue
• 58:57
  Balloon
• 58:58
  Books,
• 59:00
  it's
• 59:00
  the
• 59:00
  first
• 59:00
  time
• 59:00
  I've
• 59:01
  actually
• 59:01
  talked
• 59:01
  to
• 59:01
  someone
• 59:02
  who's
• 59:02
  actually
• 59:03
  used
• 59:03
  a
• 59:03
  hybrid
• 59:04
  service.
• 59:05
  That's
• 59:05
  gone
• 59:06
  even
• 59:06
  deeper
• 59:07
  because,
• 59:08
  like
• 59:08
  I
• 59:08
  said
• 59:08
  to
• 59:08
  you,
• 59:09
  most
• 59:09
  of
• 59:09
  the
• 59:09
  hybrid
• 59:10
  book
• 59:10
  services
• 59:10
  that
• 59:10
  I've
• 59:11
  been
• 59:11
  talking
• 59:11
  to
• 59:11
  other
• 59:12
  Book
• 59:12
  authors
• 59:12
  about.
• 59:13
  They
• 59:14
  stop
• 59:14
  at
• 59:15
  the
• 59:15
  distribution
• 59:16
  point.
• 59:16
  They
• 59:16
  get
• 59:17
  your
• 59:17
  book
• 59:18
  to
• 59:18
  market
• 59:18
  on
• 59:18
  Amazon
• 59:20
  through
• 59:20
  ingramsparks.
• 59:21
  That's
• 59:22
  it.
• 59:22
  They've
• 59:22
  now
• 59:23
  given
• 59:23
  up
• 59:23
  all
• 59:23
  their
• 59:24
  obligation.
• 59:25
  But
• 59:25
  like
• 59:25
  you
• 59:25
  and
• 59:25
  I
• 59:25
  were
• 59:26
  talking
• 59:26
  about
• 59:26
  right
• 59:26
  at
• 59:27
  the
• 59:27
  beginning
• 59:27
  of
• 59:27
  the
• 59:27
  show,
• 59:28
  you're
• 59:28
  just
• 59:29
  beginning
• 59:30
  your
• 59:30
  journey,
• 59:31
  right?
• 59:32
  Yeah.
• 59:33
  Again,
• 59:33
  I
• 59:34
  just.
• 59:34
  So
• 59:34
  much
• 59:34
  kudos
• 59:35
  for
• 59:35
  Blue
• 59:35
  Balloon.
• 59:36
  And
• 59:36
  as
• 59:36
  I
• 59:36
  continue
• 59:37
  my
• 59:37
  journey
• 59:37
  with
• 59:37
  them,
• 59:38
  they
• 59:39
  see
• 59:39
  my
• 59:40
  long
• 59:40
  term
• 59:40
  commitment
• 59:40
  with
• 59:41
  them
• 59:41
  as
• 59:41
  well
• 59:41
  and
• 59:42
  they
• 59:42
  reward
• 59:42
  that.
• 59:42
  So
• 59:43
  they're
• 59:43
  working
• 59:43
  on
• 59:43
  another
• 59:44
  project
• 59:45
  for
• 59:45
  me
• 59:45
  that
• 59:45
  they're
• 59:46
  doing
• 59:46
  on
• 59:46
  for
• 59:46
  free.
• 59:47
  Good
• 59:47
  for
• 59:48
  you.
• 59:48
  So
• 59:48
  they're
• 59:48
  rewarding
• 59:49
  our
• 59:49
  relationship
• 59:50
  as
• 59:50
  well.
• 59:51
  So
• 59:51
  I
• 59:51
  love
• 59:51
  them.
• 59:53
  So,
• 59:54
  encouragement
• 59:55
  for
• 59:55
  readers.
• 59:55
  Because
• 59:56
  I
• 59:56
  always
• 59:56
  say
• 59:56
  this
• 59:56
  towards
• 59:57
  the
• 59:57
  end
• 59:57
  of
• 59:57
  the
• 59:58
  podcast
• 59:58
  show,
• 59:59
  but
• 1:00:00
  encouragement
• 1:00:00
  for
• 1:00:01
  readers.
• 1:00:01
  Why
• 1:00:01
  should
• 1:00:03
  readers
• 1:00:04
  go
• 1:00:04
  out
• 1:00:05
  and
• 1:00:05
  purchase
• 1:00:05
  your
• 1:00:05
  books?
• 1:00:07
  I
• 1:00:07
  think
• 1:00:07
  they're
• 1:00:07
  different.
• 1:00:08
  Right.
• 1:00:08
  It's
• 1:00:09
  a
• 1:00:09
  different
• 1:00:09
  topic
• 1:00:10
  than
• 1:00:10
  I
• 1:00:10
  bet
• 1:00:10
  most
• 1:00:10
  children
• 1:00:11
  have
• 1:00:11
  in
• 1:00:11
  their
• 1:00:11
  repertoire.
• 1:00:13
  It's
• 1:00:13
  interactive.
• 1:00:14
  That's
• 1:00:14
  one
• 1:00:14
  of
• 1:00:15
  my
• 1:00:15
  most
• 1:00:15
  favorite
• 1:00:15
  things
• 1:00:16
  about

  your

  child,
• 1:00:17
  your

  And

  your
• 1:00:26
  involvement
• 1:00:27
  in
• 1:00:27
  it
• 1:00:27
  is
• 1:00:28
  what
• 1:00:28
  makes
• 1:00:28
  it
• 1:00:28
  a
• 1:00:28
  success
• 1:00:29
  as
• 1:00:29
  you
• 1:00:29
  go
• 1:00:29
  through
• 1:00:29
  the

  course

  I
• 1:00:33
  love

  a

  parent,
• 1:00:34
  we've

  talked
• 1:00:35
  about
• 1:00:35
  it
• 1:00:35
  already.
• 1:00:35
  But
• 1:00:35
  the
• 1:00:36
  correlation
• 1:00:36
  piece,
• 1:00:37
  I
• 1:00:37
  like
• 1:00:37
  that
• 1:00:37
  at

  goes

  the
• 1:00:41
  mission
• 1:00:42
  a

  coming

  through
• 1:00:43
  that
• 1:00:43
  fruition
• 1:00:43
  at

  can't

  saying?
• 1:01:28
  Boy,
• 1:01:28
  I

  wish

  that.
• 1:01:30
  One
• 1:01:31
  question.
• 1:01:32
  Is
• 1:01:32
  there
• 1:01:32
  something
• 1:01:33
  that
• 1:01:34
  you'd
• 1:01:34
  like
• 1:01:35

  the
• 1:01:39
  type
• 1:01:39
  of
• 1:01:39
  person.
• 1:01:39
  I'll
• 1:01:40
  think
• 1:01:40
  about
• 1:01:40
  it
• 1:01:40
  after
• 1:01:40
  we
• 1:01:41
  turn
• 1:01:41
  everything
• 1:01:41
  off.
• 1:01:41
  Right?
• 1:01:42
  Of
• 1:01:43
  course.
• 1:01:44
  No,
• 1:01:45
  I
• 1:01:45
  can't

  think

  realize
• 1:01:48
  that
• 1:01:48
  they
• 1:01:48
  have
• 1:01:48
  it
• 1:01:48
  in
• 1:01:49
  them.

• 1:01:50
  just
• 1:01:50
